"I'm not sure I can resist"
Okay, so I know most of us agreed that the ending was terrible and the whole show was contrived, but now that the day is here...I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to resist watching AJ2. After all, it's quite possibly the only thing on tonight that isn't a rerun. And, if I watch the first episode, I'll be compelled to watch all the others. Please, I need some help here.

I feel your pain, I am in the same boat, do I really want to watch this Godawful show again? But I bet my TV will be tuned to it tonight.

Jumping on the ship, I'm afraid... Can't believe I want to see the premiere, but....

The beauty was on the Today show this morning. She almost seemed to be apologizing in advance for liking the hunks more??? She also said she understood why Melana picked "the cute guy."

Foreshadowing...

Hang in there and watch my friend, Robert G., from the Big Easy, .. he can't comment on the show but my read on his body language is that it is very entertaining and she got what she was after - let's hope it is someone who can speak more than one sentence and knows how to play chess.

I said I wouldn't watch, and I won't. But I will still read this board. Just to be clear, I am not avoiding the show because of pity for the average joes, I am not watching because the show is manipulative, deceptive, predictable (I picked the last five cuts, and the winner in order) and hyper edited.

I think it's pretty clear that she picks a himbo and then the relationship goes nowhere -- just as it is pretty clear that the producers of this show are getting their revenge at every shallow hot chick that ever turned them down -- I don't think it's an accident that they cast two former Miss USA contestants.

This woman is just so spin-happy and phony, its sick. For those watching tonight -- note all the junk she said at the beginning of the show about trying to find her true love, etc. -- then note the comments she made to the press on a conference call recently:

http://theedge.bostonherald.com/tvNews/edgeTV.bg?articleid=347

``I don't have to marry anybody,'' she said, comparing her series to ABC's popular ``Bachelorette.'' ``What kind of people go on a reality show to meet the love of their life?''

...so was she lying on th eshow -- or was she lying to the press?

I think the operative word here is "spin". She probably doesn't even know what the truth is!

I'm beginning to think that Melena wasn't so shallow after all. At least Melena sat close to the guys in the photo booth and seemed to have a good time the first night.

Oh, I think Melana was pretty shallow -- her post-finale appearances in which she kept talking about Jason still "needing work" on his physical appearance cinched it for me.

I think the difference in this case is that due to her clear goal to work in the "entertainment industry," Melana was more cognizant of the cameras and the importance of her reaction.

...for her part, Larissa either is being sincere about her interest in becoming an animator, or she simply lacks the composure skills that Melana possessed.

Unfortunately, I did watch. What a waste of time. Carrot Top's younger brother would not have lasted 5 minutes, much less past the first cut. This is already showing signs of being staged.

But, I watch because it is entertaining at their expense.

I really think this show is just supposed to be more of a humorous thing than anything. NBC obviously doesn't care if we know who makes it far and who gets eliminated early on.

I don't watch Bachelor or Bachelorette but I've always watched the special ones like Joe Millionairre and For Love or Money. They're definitely much more interesting.

I'm just wondering what will be more entertaining to watch, Men vs. Women in The Apprentice or the Nerds vs. Hunks in this one. It certainly appears it will be more of a battle in this version than it was in the first.

T-Mac hits the three! Magic Win! Magic Win!

I think the show is very entertaining. True is manipulates the main girl and all of the joes and even the hunks (with the behind the scenes camera) but do you really feel like it manipulates the viewer? I guess I can see that it did last time, but this time we know most of the twists. And all of the people on the show agreed to go on reality TV. People all over the planet are being truly oppressed and manipulated everyday, and they didn't volunteert to go on reality TV. I can see that the show manipulated the emotions of some viewers last time who were really glad to finally have an average joe to root for. But if you find the show entertaining, I suggest just taking it less seriously this time. Guys like Adam have no problem getting great girlfriends in the real world. This show relies on highschoolc liches about cheerleaders versus dorks which are culturally prominent through much of like, but really don't have that much bearing on most people real lives after highschool. This show just plays up cliches to the hilt, in my opinion, and if that is acknowledged and not taken to seriously, it's very very entertaining. So I say watch the show, but use the resisting energy to donate money to kids in Africs with Aids. But, really, you should do what is in your heart. None of us really know what is ther ight thing for you to do.

Hope I helped somewhat.
