Joe Schmo 2

[The Doctor]

Incredibly funny!

I was skeptical as to whether the producers would be able to top last year's run away success of the first fake reality show, but I have to say this year's version has been quite entertaining. The "Lap of Luxury" contest in which Matt competed last year has been replaced by a "Looking for Love" contest with two Schmo's (Ingrid and Tim) believing that they are vying for the affections of the two model-type actors (a bachelor and bachelorette).

This season's cast is fantastic and the contest is even more over the top and out-rageous than last year. Cammi, "the blonde", (and her incredible breasts) has been a standout on the women's side since the eviction of Rita "the drunk" and Bryce "the psycho" has been brilliant on the men's side along with Canadian Johnathan Torrens who plays Gerald "the must be gay guy".

Tim and Ingrid (the schmos) have had a tough time keeping a straight face with some of the supposed straight skits they've done and Ingrid has started to suspect it's a set up.

Unlike last year's rigged weekly vote-off, the contestants are asked to stay by the bachelor/bachelorette in the "Pearl Necklace" and "Dip Your Wick in My Flame of Love" cerimonies. These eviction cerimonies are histarical and will no doubt go down as classics in the reality show elimination scenes.

This show is absolutely hilarious and can be seen every Tuesday at 10 pm on Spike TV (followed by MVC to cap things off nicely).

amen

 

[The Doctor]

Sheik, that's juvenille humour at it's best. You try keeping a straight face while watching that.

 

[drd]

hehehehe..."Cammi, may I give you a pearl necklace?" CLASSIC!

 

[The Doctor]

After TJ kneeling over Ingrid's face and asking her if she likes tea (bags), I'm now expecting the writers to work Cammi's "Russian" heritage into the story line.

The bird is farkin hilarious as well. I thought it was dead when it flew into the glass doors.

I thought one of the funnier lines last night was Tim about Gerald (hard G) "I'm not sure if he's gay or not, but he's definitely Canadian!"

 

[plunker]

Can anyone confirm this (I heard it on the radio)? The actor who plays Gerald is J-Rock from Trailer Park Boys.

 

[Mustang Jack]

Yes, Gerald (hard G) is J to the R-O-C. He was also the host of that awful Canadian talk show called Jonovision. I think he is coming into his own as an actor although it'll be hard to top J-Rock.

They are really going over the top on reality show ridicule and I like that a lot. Notice how before every commercial they show quick clips from later in the show and always say, "and the most outrageous (or other superlative) elimination ceremony yet". In the most recent show for one of these clips they even went so far as to say "the most outrageous tease for an elimination ceremony yet" mocking even themselves.
