  1. These house visits from Dr. Pepper are too late.  Make the place a home?The horse has already left the barn and she is trying to close the barn door.  Hold hands? Act as a team? Do things as a couple? Wait isn't the "experiment" almost over?

     

    Jessica neatly put a 'don't forget' list on the fridge for Ryan D? A 180 degree for both of them? Yeah, right..And the Razzie Acting award goes to....

     

    They are all now phoning it in and can't wait for it to be over. Gawd I hate this show.  But I keep watching....

     

    The editing to this episode seemed so off to me.  The showing of Dr. Pepper's visit seemed a bit too late because of this. Compared to what she asking the couples to do for their time together to bond. 

     

    A&E should have left the show alone when they decided to broadcast FYI's original show on their channel this season. There was too much extra cutting to make it fit in their 60 minutes time slot.

  2. It's pretty funny over there. However, some people made a good point about how the baby should be in the NICU and hooked up to a bunch of medical stuff since he was six weeks premature. Either this is another case of TP cheaping out on the set design or Alex' girls went to the regular nursery and are looking at the wrong baby. I guess maybe there is a bigger cliffhanger...

    OR.... TP is not carrying about facts of birth. Look at how he wrote this whole season so far.  It took him how long to show her pregnant and when he did we were told "I am now 7 &1/2 weeks." How do you go from no bump to a HUGE bump in 1 episode? lol

    I was wondering if the baby was really further along then what were were told. As in she miscounted on her FM calendar.

  3. Do not be surprised if we see Christian's family back on Season 2 (if they do one.) with marrying Peter off.

     

    Josh needs to get off his A$$ and clean that ceiling fan himself! I loved when they showed his Grandma in an over sized t-shirt. lol

     

    V&R drive me batty. Though I love the interviews with their parents. I some times wonder if R had her lips done. Depending on the camera views, it looks like her lips were filled at one time and now it is going down. These two have NOT talked enough before marriage.

  4. Well, that was not the way I expected Eddie the badass wannabe gangster to end up in the season finale. My how the mighty have fallen.

    That crying was terrible. lol

    Maybe TP should have this bunch take an acting class or three for the Summer.

    I can't believe only 5 of us post on this forum. This is the most snark worthy show of all!  Could the rating possibly be that low?

     

    I too was surprised how low the amount of posts were. When you go to FB, there are people FIGHTING over the color of the baby's skin.

    Damn if Brad isn't getting better looking all the time! He is so handsome.

     

    The accident makes me melt. :)

  5. I liked these two episodes.

    What I miss from this show is the time stamps they used to put on the screen when a team would set out in the mornings and though out the day. It showed you how long of a time it took them or how much time the first group was ahead of the others.

     

    This was the first one hubby watched with me this season and he shouted "Man, she talks a lot. Sit down and shut up woman!" when Hayley was babbling on to Blair. lol

  6. That was a terrible episode! Where are the script writers? How many different ways did we have to hear the women say "No Brad."mixed with the 1970's bad porn music playing in the background and 8-10 secs gap of silence? 

    I laughed at how fast those two women headed over to Alex's house after the 911 call. The editing is awful this season.

    I was wondering when Alex was going to start showing this season. I thought they had her showing a bit at the end of season 1 already?

    I had to fast forward during the a** Eddie driving then around in the car. They make him have too much hatred. They are making the actor look like an a**hle and not just the character he plays.

    I want to see Alex's baby! With this acting it will take her 5 years to give birth!!

  7. MK wanted to be back in the limelight. The expressions on V's face were telling the viewers he did not! I think she uses that baby voice to control people. V can't wait for the youngest to reach an adult age he feels comfortable with, before spliting himself.

    I hope her name stays on that list forever!!

  8. That's why I thought 48 hours was repeating an episode, so I did not pay close attention to details as much! It did not hit me I had watched this story on Dateline first until I came here.

  9. I still feel dirty and icky after watching last night's UB. This show started to disappoint me more of then not after season 3 and this season has been worse then any of the episodes I had issues with during the previous one. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for "bosses" now apparently.

    Remember when Les Moonves was in control of things shown on CBS?

  10. Loved his obsession with money the whole time. "It's been said I'm worth a hundred billion dollars." Great, it's been said I'm able to levitate, doesn't make it true, especially if I'm the only one saying it. Then he asks every single person about "that Armando guy" being rich, cuz, you know, they want to be around him because he's a millionaire. Also loved that he thinks he's so dynamic that his UB alter ego has to act like the walking dead to throw them off. I did watch his reality show before and while he was always an ass, he's managed to hit giant douche levels almost unreachable by the average human. I'd love to know how many of the morons who actually pay him $50,000 for this crap ever even make that money back, let alone make a living. And I'm not understanding his pyramid scheme… does he somehow get part of the money if these seminar buying suckers actually succeed in selling something? Or is he just scamming idiots into buying his "wisdom" and then running the other way before he gets arrested? 

     

    LOL.

     

    When they meet up at the end, I ask my Husband "Where are they meeting up at?" I first thought it was some hotel. "That's his house." Hubby answers. Aaaaah of COURSE it's his house. He had to flaunt it one more time.

    Has there been another "boss" who has brought their employees back to their mansion, like he did?

  11. Bwhahaha.  I liked how he compared his business to Disney, saying he had less complaints (in order to defend his F rating with the BBB).  A Forbes writer followed him around a couple of years ago.  He couldn't even hide his douchiness long enough for the interview.

  12. Okay, this show has to have the worst makeup jobs ever and Armando especially looked bad. How dumb are we supposed to be to have this hot mess heeped on us? It is hard to imagine any of the employees going for any of this. More producer driven content? I watched Armando every single time his show came on when he was Flipper. Especially remember when Veronica had a mural painted on the wall of one of the houses.

    I am think Armando used his power(bulling personality) and TOLD the show that he would only let somebody he knew put that wig on him. It was awful indeed.

    We have seen the makeup artist do some amazing work to other people wanting to be on UB

  13. This episode made my blood boil. I wanted to attack my TV with a baseball bat. Usually I welt up while watching this show, but there was just anger and no sympathy for anyone tonight. The employees featured on UB are in on the scam, so their sob stories didn't resonate with me at all. I couldn't even muster sympathy for the students who pay up to $40 K to attend these seminars/bus tours. They should know this is a "get rich quick" ponzi scheme. These are the same type of folks who send money to a Nigerian prince after reading an email from him. It's a sad commentary on society that people are so desperate to improve their financial situations that they will give Armando their life savings. No one is getting rich off this EXCEPT Armando. The information he provides is likely available for much cheaper or free, and these naive people are being hoodwinked by the high-pressure, predatory sales tactics used by Armando's employees.

     

    What a despicable scumbag Armando is! What irks me the most is that this douche had the gall to go on UB and essentially rub his wealth and scam in the public's faces. If I were running this scam, I would enjoy my millions and lay low. I certainly wouldn't go on UB bragging about my great life and showing the innerworkings of my scam to everyone. That just invites further investigation to a company that already has an "F" rating with the BBB. But no, this pompous ass gloats about how great it is to be him and seems proud of the scam he has created and the lives he has ruined.

     

    The scene where he yelled at the low-wage employees at the call center really pissed me off. His face turned red when he found out about the computer system malfunctioning and he just had to blow his cover and let the employees have it. How dare they cost him money? His tantrum wasn't because the employees couldn't meet their quota or make their bonuses. He didn't want to pay those anyway. He was mad because it was costing him money from prospective students.

     

    Newsflash, bud! These people are making like 8 bucks an hour. They just make their calls and go home. It's your job to make sure the computer system you provide them works properly. They don't have to contact IT, you, or anyone. That would be above their pay grade. In fact, the supervisor lady didn't even know she could do that. So you failed them just like the BBB failed you.

     

    The analogy where Armando compared his seminars to college was illogical too. His 3-day seminars cost $1500 (and $40,000 if you sign up for the bus tour). An expensive university costs $40 K for an entire year. If Armando seminars lasted an entire year, they would cost $182,500. While college is a rip off and can be a scam, at least a graduate can receive a degree upon completion that might be attractive to a potential employer. There are no credentials that students get for taking Armando's seminars. There's just information that's already readily available on the internet and from other sources for much cheaper.

     

    Hopefully this UB shined a light on this company, exposed Armando for the fraud he truly is, and disclipinary action is taken.

    Spot on! I really wanted to turn the channel, yet I was so pissed I couldn't believe CBS would even follow this man, that I had to watch the whole hour THINKING there was going to be some voice over saying something like, "After this, Armando Montelong has been arrested for....."

  14. Kevin Trudeau has been in and out of prison for years because of all of his scams. Don't know if he's in between incarcerations now or what, but, that means there is hope this ass will be investigated some day.

    Interesting! I was shocked to hear they finally gave him time behind bars. Glad, but shocked.

  15. What did I just see?!?!? I can't believe they featured such a shady business. Lowest rating from BBB. Hard-sell tactics. I was shocked when the woman he had lunch with said she spent $46,000 for a 3 day event. His disguise, his body double -- so fake. More fake than normal. I used to watch his house flipping show with wife Veronica (Victoria?) and their little boy. He was over-bearing on that, but not nearly so full of himself as he was on this show. I hope she got a decent deal in their divorce. This show tonight almost seemed like a parody of itself.

    CBS might get a few calls after showing this episode. Hahaha

    I totally forgot he had a Son with V. I too thought it was a spoof at first.

    Loved when he said "we live together" about the bleach blonde in the car.

  16. Top 5 worst episodes ever

    Being a lowly call center worker, I totally felt for the team lead. I totally get feeling like the bottom of the totem pole department. But I get the feeling with this company all departments are the bottom of the totem pole.

    Did you ever see his Reality show, years ago? That is how he treated people then too. I remember lots of yelling at hard working people, whom he hired, for mistakes that were his fault in the beginning.

    He has followed the Kevin Trudeau way by calling it a "System".
