I did watch the season finale.  Didn\'t really watch any shows before that maybe except one part where he eliminate someone and stuff.

I didn\'t pay attention to the part where the butcher? gave them a check.  Now I am curious how much was the check.  Does anyone know.

Yeah, the show was horrible so FOX dumped it on us real fast.  I think the past 3 weeks were all 2 hour episodes.

It was horrible.  We buzzed threw it last night on TiVo.  It turned out good in the end, but I doubt if she will really stay with him.

THe producer probably knew they had a dog and told her she would get 250 grand if she flew to the US.

I saw on Yahoo\'s main page that they won\'t be making any more Joe Millionaire shows.  Thank God.

Well FOX has freely admitted that this show was a total mistake.  They were greedy.  After the first one did so well they thought they could pull it off.  They I guess didn\'t think about the fact that the Euros don\'t and the cowboy just may not be funny together.  Actually they could be downright annoying.  Maybe if they had a better dude and hotter chicks it would have done better.

Although I really like the chick who won.  But I could never see her living on a ranch.  She went there for the 250k.

all of those reality shows are crap! The only one where you know they\'re not bull****ing is fear factor!
Title: Joe Millionaire
Post by: videoholic on November 25, 2003, 06:41:43 AM
Oh please.  Fear Factor is one of the worst ones..  Survivor is still by far the best and most well produced of the reality genre.

naw i don\'t think so. In some of those other shows it seems like some of the stuff is staged especially shows of this nature joe mill,joe schmoe etc..fear factor at least you know it\'s all real!

Real stupid.  Although I agree they have a fair chance and they can\'t change the game mid stream to guide the players they want to win.  Like Paradise Hotel.  That was 100% driven by the producers to make the likeable players to win.  the last 4 shows made it so the evil people had no shot at winning.  And that\'s what you get when you do a show that has 0 rules going into the game.

Survivor on the other hand has a set gameplan before the show begins taping.  I have worked with several people over the past couple years involved with the show and it truely is the best shot show out there.  

Each player has a camera guy dedicated to them.  When they get voted off, the camera guy then goes on nature duty.  This is how they get such amazing nature shots of the areas.  They spend a month shooting them.  

I wish they would shoot it in HD though.  Although by the 3rd or 4th day of being in these locations, the people have such nasty bumps and soars that I probably wouldn\'t want to see them in HD anyway.

^^^Yeah, I agree.

The Crunch-N-Munch guy from Boston really should have won Paradise hotel. I hated the fact that the would put in a new "twist" every week which did nothing but f*ck the game up even more.

And the way they made the last two pairs split up and swap partners was stupid.  That was simply a way to guarantee Chandra to be a winner.  Otherwise she didn\'t have a shot in hell.  Way too staged..

I believe Paradise Hotel have actors/actresses/model playing in them.  Not reality, but all staged.  I could be wrong.  But I think Chandra is a model, Keith is a model, and so is Tara.  Not sure about the rest, but it seems like Paradise Hotel is all staged.

BTW, based from what you guys said, the check is $250,000?
Title: Joe Millionaire
Post by: videoholic on November 25, 2003, 10:47:22 AM
Yes the check is 250 grand and yes the people were models.  Are you trying to say that models aren\'t real people?  I\'ve dated a couple and they stink up the shitter just like you and I do.

Paradise Hotel is the only show that has ever made me want to fly a large plane into it\'s set.  I feel the loss of my life would be a fair price to pay to rid the world of it\'s most annoying, evil, immature people while they were all in the same location.

I thought I could see the good in everyone...........  this show prooved me wrong.

I agree, but it was like driving past a bad accident.

THat\'s the one bad thing about TiVo.  It gets you to watch crap you\'d never sit through in real time.

Paradise Hotel...well...Chandra and her friend was hot atleast. :/

Still, yes..."The twist this week is...we are Nazi dictators controlling this game muhuhhahaha"

Camera guy, "that was the twist last week you retard, this show sucks I\'m outta here!"

SHe came back, got the 250,000 bucks.  He got to keep 90 acres of property and a house.

They pretended like they were going to try and make it work and then the show ended.


THere is nothing wrong with reality tv.  Besides news programming it is one of the cheapest forms of programming.  It seems to be the longest lasting fad of primetime television.

Back when the writers went on strike 10+ years ago everything went to news programming.  THat lasted a couple years where dateline was on almost every night.

THen game shows became big.  That lasted a year and a half to 2 years.

SUrvivor has been on like 4 years now.  Big brother is going on it\'s 4th summer. etc. etc.  

I don\'t see an end to it for a while since people still watch and the cost to produce is so extremely low.

Just figure survivor with all of it\'s production and pay outs for the entire season probably costs around 3 million dollars.


1 single episode of Friends is over 7 million.
