The Last Show Should Be A Hoot
Anybody seen previews for this new reality show? They get 2-dozen gold-diggers to go after one millioinaire, the only catch is he's not a millionaire afterall and only earns 17K a year.

Got me laughing so hard I may have to watch this one.

Another cruel "game" played by the network execs.

I won't watch.

I'm with Buddur
I'll probably check this one out. Since I live in the land of goldiggers, this concept has a special appeal for me. Heh heh heh...

Yeah, this one is gonna be too funny to miss. Especially the last show where the chicks fine out he ain't really rich.
They could call it "The Gold Diggers meet The Ditch Digger".

I concur, this will be an absolute riot. Some girl will be in for a big suprise. I can't wait to see the last episode!!

First, I think its cruel to hype the guy up as something he's not. Lies just cause pain.

Second, I think its stupid these girls to be on TV to find a man. Or to "get their face out" to become stars or whatever.

Third, I think it'd be terrible to find out that some or all the girls are truly gold diggers. Too bad they can't be happy with what's already been given to them in this life, if that's the case.

Hopefully I won't get hooked on this show. :)

Smiley girl, you have proven yourself the queen of reality television with you performance in Trail Talk Fantasy Survivor. To not have our beloved leader watch the show would be a travesty.

Yeah, I just need cable so I can watch all those reality shows on MTV too. :)

Ya know, I've been thinking, and if the show was called "Joe Steady Job", but the guy was a total loser, and the women who were competing for his affections were all single mothers on welfare instead of young, beautiful, gold-digging types, a lot more people would be pissed about it.

Can you imagine the legal disclaimer these women had to sign before they could be on the show?

The MTV ones (Real World, Road Rules, ect) have gotten a little too teeny-bopper for my tastes. My, I guess I'm getting old. Sigh....

LMAO @ Bitpusher!!!!!! Dude, that was hilarious!!!!
Artex

Road Rules sucks now, but the Real World has been okay this year. More fights over real stuff instead of petty bickering over who left the dirty dishes in the sink.

bitpusher!! have you watched Real World the past couple weeks? is Trichelle pregnant or what?? i can't stand the suspense, and i haven't seen it lately!

bitpusher -- you're 40 years old and you still watch that crap? You need to get out more, or have some more kids, or something...

Artex...well, sheesh, you're practically still a teenager yourself, so I guess I have to cut you a little slack.

Road Rules does seriously suck. does that help, Fritz?

Artex, you should start a fantasy game for the show. Each week we can email you our picks on who stays/booted, wins immunity, gets nookie, etc... come on!

I'd love to Rockman, but I have my hands full with fantasy basketball and hockey and can't take on anymore fantasy leagues! It's controlling my life as it is.. must...... resist...... all..... fantasy....... games...... auuuuuuugh!

I haven't been able to watch it lyra, but I heard elsewhere that she...



SPOILER WARNING

...she wasn't...

<sigh>

Yes, Fritz, I do watch The Real World from time to time...it's my guilty, voyeuristic pleasure...lol...

I imagine I'm fascinated because when I was that age, I was already working at a full-time job, going to college part-time, and living in my own house. So I'm re-living my early twenties through them.

oh yay! thank you. i, too, am re-living my early 20's through that show.

It bothers me that so many people are against gay partnerships/marriage but so many people also watch crap like Joe Millionare/who want's to marry a millionare...

I don't watch any of that reality crap. Trading Spaces is about all the reality TV I can stand.

nope, not coming out, it just bugs me to hear all of the rhetoric about gay marriages are an afront to the sacred union of marriage and never hearing these same people criticize these shows

Last Thursday I taped the first two episodes, haven't watched 'em yet. Maybe they'll do that again this week.

Rats! I missed it. I had to go to my kid's science fair.

I like the way he makes them get dirty and work...to find out which one is his type. I'd probably wanna do the same thing.

I won't post any spoilers then...but he did screw up twice, I think, lol...

I saw it for the first time last night. He seems like kind of a dork and the women are bimbos. Should be a perfect match. He reminds me of Elaine's boyfriend on Seinfeld; Putty?

Yes, now that you mention it, he does remind me of Putty. And although they may be bimbos, at least they're HOT bimbos....lol.....

i admit i saw a few parts of it - one of the times he screwed up. what a putz! he's not even good looking!

Putty, Aero...that's SO right-on!! i watched, and i loved it. he doesn't seem to have the best sense of humor, or many brain cells, but i like the way he was trying to get the women to talk. it was good that he at least tried to break the ice. definitely not my type, though...

the one who got booted was the only one i liked, haaa-waaaahhh! the rest suck.
lyra

Nope I watched the show about the race to Mt. Everest.
Pretty good stuff!

The last show is supposed to be very dramatic. Personally, I hope those gold digger's get what they deserve...squat!
