100Proof

I was wondering why this show disappeared so fast. 9 episodes? Felt more like 5 or 6 and I can only remember what happened in maybe 1 right now. Maybe 1,000 episodes would be overkill. but this is fluff time wasting type entertainment, not Mad Men or Breaking Bad, that it needs 'seasons', lol. Just vomit out a 100 episodes, take a 2 month break, then vomit out another 100. And yeah, show seems a bit anachronistic

Least favorite season although there were a few good moments. English subtitles would've come in handy as well. Not for the foreign bits, but for english, lol. Was expecting some deus ex machina at the end. The idea we are actually living in a simulated reality are all the rage as plot devices lately. I'm another one who liked the whole spy theme. Lot more 'guest' characters were employed. This season felt dry, insular and claustrophobic

I don't do social media. Tried looking at twitter a couple times but all I see is a huge rats nest of threads and words vomited all over the place. However, if any of you do follow that stuff, I was curious if The Kosher Kabal has said anything about what the crew & capt Sandy said about them. I imagine they'd be furious, lol. Sandy, "those people are absolutely awful disgusting people"... or pretty much other words to that effect, lol

Right. There is that icing on the cake bonus of maybe winning 10k as well. But it does feel like a joke without a punchline. These show's budgets should easily handle throwing some X amount thousand dollars on top of the trips anyway just for being on the show being a 'performer'.

Okay. But then, why even bother with the whole 'who the audience chose' routine. It's absolutely pointless! Lol Imagine some game show... Game Show Host: "You'll get to chose and win the prize behind one of 3 doors. The audience will also chose which door you should pick." Contestant: "I pick door #3" Game Show Host: "Let's see what's behind door #3. You've won......A NEW CAR!!!". Now let's see which door the audience picked. They chose door #1. Let's see what's behind door #1..... a jar of pickles." Audience: "Aaaaaaaaaawwww" Game Show: Host: "Well, congratulations on winning A NEW CAR!!!" ??????????? lol

What the hell happened to giving the contestant the choice between staying with the person they chose themselves, even if it meant losing the 10k, or dumping that one to take the 10k and a date with whoever the audience chose if different?

Aside from the quickie catharsis wrap up, it was a good series

That voice of hers....

I only ever watched 2 shows from this series, one being Peavey because I'm a guitar player so it interested me. So likewise, I see Jewel being the 'undercover' person on whatever the hell new take on the shows theme is. I thought Jewel was cool back when she was in the spotlight. Wow, that 'open mic' scene was so phony even for it being a fake 'reality' show so I just forwarded to the reveal and made a mental note never, ever to watch again. lol

Religious rituals, especially one's like dictating what food to eat and when to do so, boggles me mind. Being from NYC, I do love a good bagel or pastrami sandwich though. ;-D. If both people smoke, each one's ashtray mouth cancels out the other. Being 'reality' tv, thus everything being fake, I would not be surprised if these 'guests' don't pay for anything, or get a deep discount. Wouldn't also be surprised if the tip is also provided to the 'guests' to hand out. lol

Got it. She says, "Love... Lovely... Spot" Wonder what it means being at the very end of the episode. Hmmmmm

Been a very very long time since I held a spray can, but iirc, 'well ventilated' is the description on cans or any volatile potentially harmful chemicals. I get why they go outside for the ultimate ventilated space for the homeowners sake instead of a garage for example, I'm just saying that outside, a lot of stuff is probably gonna be sticking to the wet paint.

Maybe David Icke's right.... lizard people walk among us.... and they marry and have children. But at least lizard mom didn't sell her house for drugs! lol

I always cringe because they paint stuff outside. I imagine all the dirt, dust, insects in the air that must be sticking all over the wet paint

This just made me think how the very nature of what it is and means being a family, can possibly make you come to that conclusion. Obviously I have no idea about your situation, but the 'planet' on live on, in normal, loving, (at least in spirit, lol), tight knit families, parents bequeathing their estate to their children is pretty much de rigueur. Now, otoh, in families where there is no love and who pretty much despise each other, as in Patrick's case, well..... Point being, whether or not someone is granted any inheritance, is directly correlated to the love and bond they have together or conversely, the coldness and hatred they have for one another. Having said that, if parents want to spend everything they have on themselves that's perfectly OK. In life, it's is theirs solely to enjoy. However, most parents don't wind up doing that in reality. There is always going to be some assets left, whether it's a house or just a coffee mug to leave to their children. Patrick seemed to be the more noble one here. He and his wife intend to have his mother stay and taken care of with them back in London despite everything. It was his mother being the tone deaf shit till the very end. She never cared one wit for her child

What did mom say at the end... <something> beautiful spot?

I was just a tad being flip regarding locations. Didn't actually want to know where she's from, that if she was just far enough from SB to make a daily commute a bit of a chore to warrant living there. Since you said that you know people actually live close to the university yet dorm there, I was just curious if the same applied to her situation. :-) I lived in queens and LI my entire life till I moved a year ago so I know all them places well.

So that's either Queens or Orient Point, or Great Neck or Greenport, lol My brother went to dorm there in '68. We lived in Queens. Stony Brook was no where as built up then.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have 'understudies' waiting in the wings and only a plane ride away though. Then again, how much the 'TV' cast is actually involved and responsible in taking care of the guests as opposed to the real, if any, not filmed crew is, I don't know, lol

If I have a complaint about these BD shows is that the captains are always promising to 'lower the boom' but rarely, if ever do. So many times I wanted to see some a-hole crew member get tossed off the boat or have their head handed to them tout de suite, but it's all 'one more chance' 'one more chance' 'one more chance' 'one more chance'. So in that regard, I like Sandy getting on peoples cases rather than being the usual milquetoast's. How far did she live from SB? I guess even if it wasn't that far as the crow flies, unless you live right next to the Port Jeff branch it'd be a pain to commute. However, if she drove that's a different story.

My first impressions after viewing were knee jerk and a bit off base. So I'm reviewing the episode and describing it below.... They got a tip in October that someone who looked like her was in Ohio. Private detective goes goes undercover up there and starts asking around. She informs police what she's up to. Late November she gets the lead the Ali's holed up hostage in one of a number of possible drug houses. Seems like this took into December to find the place where Ali was at. Detective flies back to Texas to tell parents. Parents fly up to Ohio with detective. They devise a 'plan' to 'buy' Ali back with the detective posing as a madam or pimp of sorts. They apparently inform the police what they're gonna do and the police get a warrant. The parents go back to Texas while the detective prepares for the sting. Again appears to take some time to implement the plan. Its now some point in January. Detective, posing as a madam, enters the house wearing a wire. Police are outside waiting for this 'deal' to go down. Apparently this deal takes place (not sure how or why if Ali was no longer there) and the police raid the drug house. So although the amount of time passing between when the detective supposedly found Ali and flew back to Texas and the time the raid took place wasn't specified except that the former took place in December and the later in January, it's probably anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Depends on how far into December the detective finds Ali to how far into January the raid took place. They don't seem to state more specifically. However, regardless, there is a time lag between finding her and performing a rescue. Why go through this ruse? Why having to concoct this scheme in the first place? Granted there was no guarantee it was her 100% but once she was 'found', as you said above, call 911. A missing person who was a minor was abducted and is now believed to being held against her will. Isn't this probable cause enough? Hell, or call 911, tell them shots fired and someone murdered at that address! There's probably is some kind of legal thing though than just calling 911 and have it taken care of but I'm not sure what that'd be.

Came here to say the same thing. "It's Ali". So lets see... I'll fly back to texas, two weeks later the parents fly up, two weeks later they tell the police. "Oh, these people probably got tipped off". Of course!! That's why you take immediate action!! Are these people for real?? Is this a joke??? Wow....just wow

Thought this show ended. Now season 10 started!!?? Thought even these buffoons figured enough was enough after 9 years of zilch, lol And yeah, why do all these paranormal shows do everything in the dark when every bloody ghost, poltergeist event, bigfoot and many ufo sightings are in daylight and/or with the lights on, lol

Where's our nuts?" "We said we don't like nuts." "The pasta was great." "We told you no starch. Take it away." "We'll have spaghetti." "This lobster's delicious." "We hate seafood. Take it away." "We'll have the shrimp instead." "We don't eat eggs." "Make us a birthday cake." While I realize these shows are heavily edited, however, if the blonde barf girl actually spent most of the charter incapacitated, if I was in her position, I couldn't possibly take a share of the tip. Maybe she did put in a lot of work because the rest of the crew didn't bat an eyelash over it.

Good lord this show used to be so good. Its been on a decline since these whole alt realities started. Managed to cruise along till season 8 then began nosediving. Season 9 is totally in the shitter. Archer's devolved from a drunk who can get shit done and kick ass to ..... just a drunk
