No show goes lower than Joe Schmo (But None Is More HILARIOUS!!!)

On both airings I missed the explanation given by "Kip's" actor as to why Hutch was brought back (apart from the invented "legal" reasoning). Did you happen to catch that?

Another Tuesday, another episode.

So what the hell is the old gang of rejects doing back on the show already? I'm guessing that they're going to come back to vote on something about the four remaining characters.

And how's it going to end? I'm guessing that the last two are Hutch and Schmo. Then Hutch is going to cheat blatently to win. They want to see if they can finally get Schmo to snap.

I think Hutch went into his role with every intention of getting punched eventually. A good punch to the face would be a terrific validation of his acting skills.

And the real contest here is really who wins the acting sweepstakes and gets big money paydays out of this gig. That's worth a lot more than $100K by a long shot. I think, unquestionably, Kip is the big winner. If I was looking for a guy to do some outlandish comedy, I'd be calling his agent. And Hutch looks like he'll be the new David Spade. The old David Spade is just that - old. Ashleigh will get work too, because she's hot and can act.

Molly, the black chick, and Earl better not quit their restaurant jobs. And Brian's career is going to remain in writing, which is good news for him.

When shall we expect the show dedicated strictly to passing gas and urine jokes?

Its called "The Man Show" on Comedy Central.

I think they did it to create more tension on the show. The whole thing was pretty funny! Diotima and I laughed our buns off at seeing Hutche's plate glued...badly back together!

[Bob J]

The whole scene with the Net Exec over eating the dog crap was priceless. Notice that Matt didn't hesitate one second when it was suggested he ask the girls to take their tops off...heheh.

[Bob J]

Equally funny was when Gay Kip (not) went to cast his vote lat week and wrote "I'll miss Molly's boobs!".

Even if "Earl" doesn't go back into acting, he can still work as a military consultant in movies as he's done in the past.

I suspect that the reason that he and Matt were able to have very personal conversations is because "Earl" is very close to the actor who portrays him (he is obviously ex-military, though I've not determined which branch of the Armed Forces).

That's what they did on Survivor and this is partly a parody of survivor. Since you mentioned acting jobs, don't forget Ralph the smarmy host. How he keeps from bursting out laughing while staring at the contestants with that serious face I don't know. I got a big kick out of him in the first show decked out in a fancy riding outfit and riding up to the contestants on horseback and just staring at them with total seriousness.

His fake anger at the bee-suit was hysterical as well.

I loved when the network guy dismissed him from the room and muttered sneeringly, "Why don't you go out and put your bee suit back on."

Classic!

[Dutchgirl]

For too long now all those other several hundred channels have catered exclusively to women,

I come home to Ellen on ABC, Babs talking to OPRAH on CBS and Baseball on FOX cartoons on WB and BUffy on FX. That leaves me with a choice of c-span or the fishing show...

This show is the FUNNIEST show on the air. False!

The funniest show on the air is John DiResta on "Trash to Cash."

[PJ-Comix]

When they opened the lid of Matt's plate and announced that his dish is canine feces I broke out laughing so hard that tears flowed down my face. Then I fell off my couch while gasping for air. When Ralph mentioned something about canine, I figured it would either be something like Leg of Poodle or dog nose. Never imagined it would just be a pile of dog doo-doo. CRACKED ME UP!!!

[LurkerNoMore!]

I've even caught the reruns when they play during the week.

And I haven't loyally watched anything except news on TV for years.

[LurkerNoMore!]

And how's it going to end? I'm guessing that the last two are Hutch and Schmo. Then Hutch is going to cheat blatently to win. They want to see if they can finally get Schmo to snap.

I can't wait to see how they'll pull off the ending, but MAN I'm gonna miss this show.

OK, so I was watching last night, and somehow managed to fall asleep. Was that really dog poop on that plate?

[hattend]

He didn't eat it so there is no way to tell. I would guess after being under the cover for so long there would be a very strong smell when they removed it... It obviously didn't pass the smell test (plus the actors said all the other stuff they ate was fake)

[LurkerNoMore!]

LOL

They're replaying that episode right after this new one.

[LurkerNoMore!]

PJ, the last night?

Are they going to spread this out over 3 episodes??

[LurkerNoMore!]

Brian tells Hutch he doesn't trust him as far as he could throw that house....

Matt jumps in with, "But it isn't anything personal!"
