So how'd you like it?
I've seen the original show a few times here in Europe. Now I'm no fan of game-shows, but it's always funny to see how she punishes the contestants.
"Your performance in the last round was pathetic. It's a good thing to see you leave. You are the weakest link, goodbye."Of course, a Dutch network bought the format and totally screwed up by using the wrong hostess. Maybe she was the only red-head they could find. Anyway.. apparently 50 million people watched it. That's a lot of viewers...

I had to change the channel just seeing the ads for it. No WAY was I going to watch the damn show. I swear. The collective IQ of the American public can't be a point over 70.-Bex

Don't worry about it Bex. You should see the kind of shows here on prime-time that get the highest amount of viewers.
It's probably the same all over the world. IP: Logged |

I pride myself on the fact that I have never seen a single episode of:
Survivor
Boot Camp
The Mole
Big Brother
Weakest LinkThes are all riddiculously inane shows and I don't watch any of them. No TV show could come anywhere near real basic training, the fact that they are trying is pathetic. That's My Bush, however, is hilarious. IP: Logged |

Actually, the TV show "Boot Camp" is in many ways more difficult than modern basic training.You may not be aware of this, but drill instructors are no longer allowed to either curse at or even yell at recruits - and recruits are all issued "Time Out" cards which they may dig out and present to their DI's if they get "just too stressed out" and "need some time out." Anyway, while boot camp was hellacious on me the first time through at the tender young age of 17 (and before all this tenderhearted fooferaw about no cussing or yelling or, for christ's sake, "time out cards"), I would CHEERFULLY go back to boot camp again. I mean, shit. TWO SOLID MONTHS of getting PAID good money to do nothing but exercise all day long? Fuck, where do I sign up? IP: Logged |

Jimbo, I hate to break this to you, but drill sergeants do in fact still curse at privates. They however now preface it with 'excuse my language but' or afterwards yell 'was anybody offended by that? I didn't think so'. Time out cards are a myth. I have no idea where that came from, but it doesn't happen, they are not issued, and if someone actually complains of being 'overstressed' they are asked from about 2 inches from the end of their noses if they wanna go home to mommy. I just got out of the Army in June, I heard all those stories too, and had them proven false. Don't perpetuate stupid myths here please.IP: Logged |

I got out of the Navy in '95, and they were already issuing recruits time out cards in Great Lakes by 92 or so.On doing some current 'net searches, incidentally, it turns out the Navy just stopped the "Stress card" program last year. http://usmilitary.about.com/careers/usmilitary/library/weekly/aa051500b.htm quote:
Did you hear the story of how the Navy was issuing "stress cards," so that recruits could call "time out," if they felt that boot camp was getting too stressful? Forget it. The Navy threw away the "stress cards" several months ago. At the same time, they "toughened up" boot camp. It's now more "stressful" than it ever was.
Thanks so fucking much for just assuming that I was "perpetuating a stupid myth", though.  [This message has been edited by Jimbo (edited 04-23-2001).] IP: Logged |

Oh sorry, you were in the Navy, didn't realize that, the Army NEVER issued them, but before I left for basic everyone told me they had them, for the Army it was a myth. I spent 18 weeks in South Carolina in the summer, working my ass off with a bunch of 17 and 18 year old kids who had never been away from Mommy for more than a week. It was hell. I went in at 24, one of the oldest and the only one with kids. I saw a commercial for the show, and I'm sorry, but if I had done pushups the way they were doing them I would have had a drill sergeant screaming in my face and would have been in the front leaning rest until the sun went down. By the time I left Ft. Jackson my PT score was 193 and I was in the best shape of my life. I fail to see the point in doing it on a tv show, there is no way they could duplicate the kind of stress that we went through, and if you want to go through it, join the Army, not a game show. ------------------

Girls love men who spit! Anyway, I have to say that I got tired of the whole reality based show phenomenon after episode 2 of Survivor. No...I take that back. I got tired of it after 10 minutes of "The Real World". "The Real World" made Survivor look good. -Chris IP: Logged |
