mm58 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-10-03, 05:37 PM (EST) "why get addicted to this show???" i find myself very much addicted to this little show and i do not know why. the 'actors' that are supposed to be fooling this poor guy are not very good for the most part...(not all of them are terrible but there are a couple that are just down right bad...take the jumping in the pool segment for one example, even the model was doubting the whole set up!) why is this guy fooled? i keep thinking he will catch on and show some glimmer of knowing something....anything...but alas he never does. and yet i can not deny he is very likable. the whole thing is so obvious that i have come to wonder if even he is not an 'actor'. and if he is.... he is the best darn actor on the show. in any case i am addicted and can't wait for the final show.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

ashleigh j 9 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-10-03, 05:57 PM (EST) 2. "RE: why get addicted to this show???" I've wondered the same thing at times, Deonna.. I've never been a fan of soap operas, but I get the feeling they share come common elements (like the contrived over-dramatic story lines), so maybe that explains part of it? *shrugs* I don't know. The more I think about it, the more confusing it gets. But as for "bad acting".. I think that _because_ they are portraying stereotypes, it's intenionally "bad". And c'mon.. that scene with Kip trying to jump in the pool was SO gay! *rofl* (Disclaimer: this was a pun, and probably a bad one, but not an exercise in homophobia.)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

It will seem obvious to you for a few reasons... You're not in Matts place, and you already know they are trying to fool him so you pick up on the details that they let slip more readily than Matt would.. As for the pool set up, you must not forget the character Kip cannot swim. Its a big leap for him to go into the deepend of the pool, even with all the floaties on him. The model doubted the setup because she didn't know Kip could not swim, she thought it was a joke, but Matt told her that Kip couldn't swim, and even got ticked off at the model for avoiding Kip when he was trying to cling to the raft for extra floation...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

mm58 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-10-03, 08:27 PM (EST) 5. "RE: why get addicted to this show???" you're right, since i am seeing the set up from an outside viewpoint knowing whats going on it is easy to see things that are not obvious to someone in the center who is living it. and really it was not only kip's 'over acting' with the swimming thing but also the whole 'stall for time' deal in the pool too seemed over done (though they really had no choice at that point). i know this is the same thing...seeing it from an outsider's view. maybe i am being too critical of the acting but it sure does seem obvious and at times. this guy is so sincere and thats what makes the show so addicting i think...you feel for him and want to see his final reactions. and yes, that was really something when he was still sticking up for kip when the model was picking at him. it said alot about his character. i doubt i would be so absorbed in the stories if he weren't so likable. normally the reality shows are not my thing but this one has me. and i kept trying to switch the station but always ending up going back to it and now am just a joe schmo fan....oh well   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

True, the stalling for time was kind of odd, but with Brian, Matt had said he was at a disadvantage without his glasses, and with Kip, Kip could just do timy splashes, as not to get the model wet, but some of what they said was kind of iffy. And even if he wasn't such a nice guy, many people would probably watch just to see what he does and how the others react to him being cruel. If he was like Hutch, people would eatch it to see him get what was coming to him probably.. But you're right, a lot of people watch it because he is so sweet and nice!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

They just didn't develop it very well, and they took a whole year to not develop it very well. The hooker has been around a lot more than Matt, so she can probably see things that he can't even if was just a subconscious reaction for her.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
