plasticmonkey 3 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-03-03, 01:13 PM (EST) "Matt is NOT gullible!" How anyone expected him to know is beyond me. Picture yourself in a reality show, never in your wildest dreams would you think it is not actually a reality show. Sure, it may seem wierd, strange... and you may have lingering suspicions that something strange is going on, but to take little slip ups and conclude that the entire thing is one big prank all about you and everyone you have gotten to know is fake, I mean, no one would have got that. It may seem obvious to us cuz we knew, but I know when I heard about it, I thought "wow, what a sweet idea, I would never have thought of that!". So why should Matt have?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

What Plasticmonkey wrote is absolutely completely 100% true.... I was trying to explain that to so many people!!! Glad someone else feels the same!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

CaliGirl 11 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-03-03, 03:22 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Matt is NOT gullible!" I think that Matt has done a splendid job of "playing the game." Anyone of us could apply to a "reality" show and be so thrilled at being accepted that we would just go along with anything and everything. After all, there is a big prize at the end, isn't there? This is exactly what Matt did. There was no way for him to realize that these people were actors, and let's face it, after a while they all got sucked into the show. It was a great show/morality play that illustrated how real/not real these shows are. Matt was a special guy. He had character, which is a lot more than I can say for the low-lifes of Big Brother, and yes, even that icon, Survivor. Good for Matt. I just hope he doesn't surface on "Surreal World."   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I think just about anywhere Matt should 'pop up' would be good. I'd like to see more of him outside of that environment. The Man Show?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Guppin1234 909 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 11-03-03, 04:02 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Matt is NOT gullible!" I know. We talked about this on many a thread. If Matt did suspect something, he just would have suspected 'something' not immediately that these were all actors. The closest he came was with the fake TV exec, and I so wanted him to push. He could have pushed every one of the characters but he just decided to be too laid back, and I wanted to smack him for it. It would have so much of a better show if he had tried to be less of a good guy and more challenging. Questioning inconsistencies doesn't make you a bad person! It just makes you less of a schmo!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Matt is NOT gullible!" >>>Questioning inconsistencies doesn't make you a bad person! It just makes you less of a schmo!<<< But that's just his personality.... you can't blame him for being a bit naive because you would have done something different..... the guy they picked was perfect and he proved he's a good guy with good decent morals and I think quite a few people in the world could learn something from him.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jpod5 147 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 11-03-03, 08:24 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Matt is NOT gullible!" It was almost a contradiction though. He's SO honest and open that he often entered unhindered into what most would consider 'uncomfortable' situations. 1-he outed kip after a few minutes 2-he cleared the air with the molly/ashleigh 'tiff' 3-he confronted hutch repeatedly 4-he got in the network exec's face about contract issues But, he just wouldn't ask an uncomfortable question of the others' slip ups. Why wouldn't he have gone off on someone he thought was lying to him? (i.e. question earl about an obvious lie). I agree with Guppin, would have been much more interesting had he done that...although it may have ended the show...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm not sure if it would have ended the show prematurely, because they were instructed to deny it to the bitter end, but it would have made for a lot more drama and spice. I still hope they cast Matt as the Lesbian in JS2.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I do agree fully with both of you that it would have made for interesting tv but to be honest that just shows how genuine Matt is!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
