Did anyone watch "the real gilligan's island" reality show?
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 01:44 PM by Worst Username Ever
On TBS, I think. First of all, lame show. Pretty ladies though. Also, how about that crazy rich blond woman homophobe? My god, it was like I had tuned into free republic on my television. She was likening gays to having sex with snakes, was talking about how right all her points of view were, etc. VOMIT.

1. i think that reality show will get bad ratings

Watching reality shows will just cause them to make more stupid reality shows.

9. Too late. The reality show train has long ago left the station.
I'm just starting to watch some of them now. I just started watching, "The Apprentice." I'm hooked. I watch some show about restoring a house on TBS. Don't know the name. I only saw the final episode. And I watched that Gilligan show last night because it was sandwiched with, Sex and the City. Very clever placement.

2. That is one vile bitch.
She said if we legalize gay marriage, then where will the line be drawn? "If someone loves a snake, who's to stop them from getting married?" I was legitimately shocked. :wow:

4. Wish someone had stopped me
My ex husband was a snake. Except that's really insulting to snakes everywhere.

3. I watched some of it just to see that dumb rich bitch
I found it rather ironic that the other rich couple was much RICHER that the blonde and her hubby, but they didn't really give a damn... I couldn't believe that she likened the gay professor showing off his WEDDING picture to talking explicitly about gay sex. I guess no one should ever show off their wedding picture then... What a dumb broad...someone needs to slap her.

5. About 160 times as rich, and that couple is much more cool and fun.
AAAANNNND... the husband of the richer couple is 39 with a 25 year old daughter he had in 8th grade. The rich bitch goes off about how she ahs a daughter by her husband and they have a "real" family. AMAZING.

10. Did you see the look on the face of the good rich lady when she...
made that remark? Her mouth flew open and her eyes got wide. Those two should be interesting to watch. I don't see how they're going to get along.

6. Thank you, TBS
We have GOT to thank TBS for giving us such a living poster-child of what it is we are up against in this country.

The ignorant neauveau-riche bigoted bitch from Kentucky and her more quietly bigoted husband.

If you stuck Ann Coulter in a tanning booth for three years without hydration, this is what you would get.

This is the same woman who called the other team sore loosers because they didn't care someone had nearly had a heart attack.

America will hate that woman.

Now, how do we boycott her company and plunge her into economic ruin?

She only has less than $3 million.

How hard can it be?

15. 3 mil hardly even qualifies as a millionaire
3 million is not enough to live on with an extravagant lifestyle. The might be able to clear 100K a year after taxes on earnings from that. Most middle class people, if they try hard, can reach 2 mil by age 50 or so. I doubt they own a company, he is probably just earns a large wage from a job somewhere. Christ, the CEO of my company makes 8 million a YEAR. Why are these people even on the show???

It's just a thing.

Yeah the blonde was a RW whackjob.

11. It wasn't quite what I was expecting...
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 02:09 PM by trotsky
but I will admit, they did an AWESOME job on the set & huts. Looks right out of the show.

On edit: the raft challenge was pretty cool, too. Classic example of over-engineering.

16. I thought that was great.
Right when they began building, I was hoping someone would just tie an innertube to a log and start paddling.

12. People, people, people......this is why
Reality shows and the right wing wacko's like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh get so much traction....we love to hate em. And THAT instigates conversation...and how many of you WILL watch next week just to see how outrageous Mrs. Neocon will be?????

I too watched the premier of the thing - I liked Gilligan's Island as a child....but this is just a game, and a rather lame one at that. I will skip it in the future.

17. Well.. okay...
:wtf: Were we just lectured and talked down to for daring to watch a television show without seeking your permission? 'Cause it kinda sounds like that. Maybe it's me. But more than likely, it's you. :P

20. Nope not lectured for watching it, but
it was just an attempt to deflect the negative grip that these shows encourage. They do it ON PURPOSE. Put a gay professor on an island with a neocon and lets see what happens. I bet THAT will be good for ratings!

I am just sick and tired of it - and I can't stand to see human nature AT ITS WORST be embellished and treasured. You go right ahead and watch it all you want. It is still a free world last time I checked. Sorry if I offended - did not mean to. I just don't really like how the media gains so much exposure for such snarky, backbiting, negative programming and puts it out as reality.

But heh - I am way OUT of the mainstream, after all.

13. Sorry, I was reading DU last night, but
my husband watched the second installment and had me watch the first installment that was on after the second episode aired. The Dumb, less rich, Millionaire wife (I'm sorry 3 million is yes a millionaire but give me a break) HATES Democrats. Her husband said that right after they were introduced and they were talking about themselves, so it is no wonder she also hates gays. I hope they are gone next.

I went back to reading DU after about 5 minutes of the insipid show.
A much better class of people.

19. Bingo
Like showing a picture of me and my girlfriend would be shoving my heterosexuality down someone's throat? What the fuck is up with that??
