So episode 2 is tonight? I despise these reality shows - only time I watch them is for about ten seconds whilst channel surfing - but your description makes this one sound worth watching - if at least only for the stereotype characters. Thanks for the review. I'll try to catch it.
Yes, episode 2 is on tonight. There are two main elements that makes Joe Schmo HILARIOUS. One is the clueless Joe Schmo himself who despite a plethora of clues can't figure out that it's all a put-on. The second element is the parody of Reality Shoes, especially the super-serious smarmy host. Also the show is filled with the stock Reality Show characters such as a gay guy, a military-like older guy, a super-religious virgin chick, an annoying guy, a slob, a scheming chick, etc..
