Just started on Dexter. It's real good; the language may be a tad offensive for the general public, but I like it.

And are Psych and Chuck good?

 

[Handoyo]

I have no idea about them but I heard there's this hot chick in Chuck.

Lost this season has been absolutely BREATHTAKING. They were under huge criticism (From me, at least ) over the past 2 seasons but these season's first 6 episodes easily silenced those critics (Me ) up. Cliffhangers after cliffhangers, brilliant acting and, most importantly, the stories are developing at a much faster pace.

Hopefully LaWeed comes back or something cos he's the only other Lost fans I know other than Erik.

Hey, anybody watching "Beauty and the Geek" ?

I know I will

I am just watching the first episode of fifth season on youtube, and it's hilarious

If you don't know it's a show where they put geeks, who look... like geeks, but are mostly very smart, and some beuty quens, who look like OH WOW, but know not so much.

Some quotes:

Some guy:

"Jee, what a suprise the season I'm on. I will be competing with the guys versus the girls. I could do that at home."

(It's because before, apperantly it was pairs of one beauty and one geek, and now they are competing as groups)

One of the girl:

"It's not that I'm stupid. It's just that I don't know stuff"

ROTFL

ps. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gN5MtFEZRY&feature=related

lol I watched that show a little bit when it was on marathon and I had a Lazy Sunday. Entertaining stuff, I really wanna join that show. I'm a qualified geek, I swear! :nerd:

 

[minterke]

Yeah those girls are ****in knockouts dude. I'd pretend to be a geek and make it rain on those bitches...the more illiterate they are the better.

I think that show's hella scripted though.

 

[Luka]

I think that show's hella scripted though.

What do you mean?

Like staged ?

ps. Yeah, especially the girsl on Season 5 are hot as hell. There are 2, or 3 playboy models in it, and I checked them out, and I have to say, those geeks are not that smart if they don't know what they should do with them

 

[minterke]

Yeah staged. 90% of reality shows are.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

Yeah staged. 90% of reality shows are.

True, couldnt agree more with you.
Big brother, Beauty and the Geeks, Jerry Springer all scripted. I cant believe the people who think they are real.
I am not a big fan of reality shows, so I dont watch it.
You can even see some of the guys that are there, they make them dress like geeks.

Ok, first question. How on earth would you possibly know that ? :>

Maybe other shows are staged, I don't know. But I don't think it is in this case.

ps. It's not that I believe it or not. I don't see any logic there to stage it. What would be the point ?

 

[minterke]

To have a decent storyline, you think there would be that much conflict and drama in those shows if they weren't staged?

PS: did u know the word gullable isnt in the dictionary

I don't know, I haven't been in the reality show yet.

But sometimes even I forget one thing. They don't show you the whole show. At least with The Beauty... that is. They edit and take only 1 hour of the 2 days or something over there in the house. So it's their job to make it interesting, that's why they only show 1 hour. If they would show the whole 2 days, I'm sure it would look differently, and ofcourse boring, and uninteresting.

In example, the BigBrother in Poland had 2 shows in one day that lasted 1 hour each, and after 1 month or something it got boring as hell. (only 2 hours a day!).

I just don't see enough reasons to believe this particular show is staged, but then again, it's the first reality show I'm watching since 1998 or somethin, so I might be wrong :>

ps. What's "gullable" ? :>

 

[Handoyo]

It's "gullible," which means naive.

And like Mike, I'm 90% sure 90% of all TV reality shows are fake. Maybe not those competition ones like Fear Factor but drama shows like "The Hills" or "Tila Tequila"...They're as real as Pamela's boobs. Some Survivor players/producers have also admitted that some actions was scripted and acted. If it doesn't look good on tape, they had to retake the scene.

 

[Luka]

Aaaaah, ok, gullible.

Well, maybe 90% of the shows are staged, as I said, I don't know.

But I honestly don't think this particular one is one of them, because this show is not focused on being a dramatic one or something. The new season is one, but it's because of the wrong casting they did.

But there is one but. Of course I or noone I know was part of a show so I can't be sure for certain.

 

[Handoyo]

Yo Waleedo, you still follow Lost?

 

[Luka]

There are many other who Han, watches TV too, you know

 

[Handoyo]

It's just because Waleed is the only other Lost fan I know (Other than Erik). Do you watch Lost too, Luke?

 

[Ziyad]

I am big on LOST too guys...Havent watched the 4th season yet so no spoilers plzzz...

 

[Luka]

It's just because Waleed is the only other Lost fan I know (Other than Erik). Do you watch Lost too, Luke?

I'm a big fan of TV Shows, I watched them so many in my life(some even twice or more), that it is getting embarasing

And yes, I am watching Lost. What did you want to say ? :>
