>Make love not war.

Back in the old days,
when Star Trek was popular,
conventions would sell

Klingon posters with
an angry Klingon face that
said, Make War, Not Love!

put them in a strange surrounding with no script and an element of competition

If you think this show isn't scripted, I've got some swampland in Florida to sell you.

Damn, I'd rather watch "Battle of the Sexes" on MTv than this crap. The incident with Puck and the black dude was priceless. I'm glad the group stood up for Puck over that insane idiot.

A Dick Clark knock off of the Grammys. Hate this man, and all that he does. Glad to see it bomb.

"If you think this show isn't scripted, I've got some swampland in Florida to sell you."

It isn't "scripted." Ewan has things for him to say suggested to him, be he's not well enough trained to do a script. And the girls are NOT scripted. What the show IS, though, is very tightly edited, and the crew on hand for taping does hint around, ask for retakes, etc.

The Butler, of course, IS scripted. He's an actor. Remember, I come FROM that industry.

"It IS a hoot, because Evan, the faux millionaire, is so unpretentious and self-deprecating "

Agreed...plus Evan is pretty easy on the eyes...but the humour angle definitely wins out.
