So What'd YOU think....

Reality TV Forum

... was the show any good? Fox needed this show to boost their dropping ratings.

Last year they were bailed out with the first Joe Millionaire. Does this one make the cut??

Well, it's definately entertaining to say the least... It will hold many people for the "what could possibly happen next" factor!
We will have to see as it progresses!

The guy is really doing a great job at playing a jerk. Randy is mortified. It is fun just to see her squirm.

Damn funny - much better than the "who's going to win the trophy partner?" shows..

i agree....I was absolutely cracking up...

especially when he started calling her name while going out to the hot tub....her face was sheer terror!

I love it so far...I think its completely hilarious!

The coming attractions look just as funny.

I'm with you Mystic. I think it's absolutely hysterical. It's like the Princess and the Frog. And Fox was smart putting it after American Idol.

I only watched it because it was after American Idol. It was a great decision. I will watch it again. Yes, the hot tub scene was great.

fox's scheduling is awesome. first, american idol for good laughs, then more laughs and boner for the rest of the night.

Foxs new hitshow with STeve and Randi brings in the ratings.

1. The Jan. 19 premiere drew 19 million viewers, landing the show in the ratings top 10 for the week.
2. The second installment, broadcast Monday, attracted 13.4 million, Fox says.

Not bad for a two week production with a small budget, scoring big pay-offs.

OMG...that part in the hot tub with his "family" was hilarious! Especially when her dad took off the suit and said "one of the jets is treating me like a prom date." I was laughing so hard!

That was sooooo funny!

it was really funny when randi's eyes popped out when steve's "mom" asked if she had big boobs and wide hips, and if she were going to breast feed. in addition to the part where "mom" told randi that she breast fed steve until he was 5!

serious entertainment.

oh yeah, i almost forgot about dinner. it was so funny that steve's "mom" cooked a disgusting dinner. the funniest part was when randi pretended to say the food was delicioius!! that's some mighty funny bs. her facial expression when she took some bites off the plate was worth a million bucks.

i wouldn't eat those nasty crap if they offered me. what would you do for half a mill?

I'll eat it for a half mil, no problem. Did you see that 99 pound like girl downing 167 chicken wings in like ten minutes to capture the Philly Wind-ding Title this weekend? It must have tasted aweful and like a fraction of the purse.

I can't wait until the next episode. Everything you all said plus more was hilarious. I especially like the expressions on Randi's face everytime Steve does something obnoxious. What about Randi's girlfriend. I'm not sure if she knows somethings going on or not. Apparently she knows Randi and I don't believe she really believes this?

Randi asked Anna in Episode 2 to be her Maid-of-Honor. Anna got to meet Steve at the huge mansion over drinks and appetizers served in luxury for about an hour of filming where her stomach was going crazy. Randi told Anna: Steve stole my heart...Anna: I'm sure I's like him. Randi: I know he's the one - for sure." During that show, Randi announced her engagement during the dinner and Anna looked surprised and said, okay! I'll be you Maid-of-Honor. During the 3rd Episode, the cameras showed Steve plopping the shrimps in fondue and started spear fighting with Anna, teasing her and making himself to be a big slob. Anna didn't know what to do of it.....seemed confused and bewildered.

I forgot about that part. But do you think Anna is a little bit suspicious?

More than a little bit suspicious. They were life long friends since age of 12. Randi confided in Anna for all these years. Anna knows what Randi likes and dislikes. Anna can read Randi like a book.

Anna had to know it's just a marriage ruse and with a microphone hooked to your body during the entire time visiting the mansion, how can any half-pint not know it's nothing but a wedding farce?

The TV producers are yanking people's chain.

Ken, I think you may be right. The program is really funny but they should have made a comedy series out of it instead of a "reality" show.

Come on aunt goldielocks, you can't be for real that anyone would even think that Anna didn't know or could have figured it out within 5 minutes.

Can't take anything said on TV as anything other than good entertainment. Lot's of TV hype for ratings, ratings, ratings......

Read my last remark. How can you say that I believe Anna knows. Plus, where did the Goldielocks come from??? I'm 100 times better looking than her!!!

I said that as a compliment.
You're right, the show should be nothing but a comedy. But there are millions out of the 19 millions who still believe this is a reality show.

i'd rather say i'm full than to eat more.

Thanks for the Compliment!! And you're right, there are millions who believe this is a reality show. I watch it because it's funny but watch it as if it were a funny series like Seinfeld.

Nice Auntgoldie, who do you think in Randi's family took the wedding too seriously, perhaps believing it to be real?

You would agree that every members from Steve's family knew the wedding was a ruse, right?

We’re in Littleton, Colorado, and Randi’s family is casually hanging around. Same old, same old. Watching TV, snacking, lounging. They seem to be oblivious to the CAMERA CREW FILMING THEIR EVERY MOVE. Brrriiiiiiing. Brrriiiiing. “Yellllloooooo. House of Coy! Oh, Randi! Wassssuuupppppppp!” Randi drops the bomb. “Will I like him?” asks Mrs. Coy (Catherine), innocently. We’re hit with a ‘Nam-style black and white flashback of Steve. He’s belching, tripping, farting, snorting, stomping, raging, rootin’ AND tootin’. “You’ll adore him,” says Randi. The dad is listening in. Wait. Hold it. The mom AND the dad are both using cordless phones. Could we PLEASE loan one of them to the mansion? Also, the dad’s name is Bruce Coy. Awesome. Tension is in the air. Oh, alright, they’ll come. After all, Bruce is sure that if Randi’s in love, she’ll have chosen someone “very sharp.” Don’t you see! Steve’s NOT very sharp! I LOVE this game! Phew. The plan is in motion! The con is on! Randi’s concerned about her dad, but not too concerned to give Steve a congratulatory knuckle-bump. Meanwhile, the Coy homestead is in turmoil. Randi’s in love, guys. “What?” says one of the brothers. “That’s disappointing.” This will not stand, man. The mom says that if this dude isn’t up to snuff, her claws will come out. Slash to commercial break! He’s treating Randi to breakfast in bed! Awww! Unfortunately this involves him carrying a heavy tray full of liquids! Uh-oh! Here we go again! He gently wakes her up. Then he trips. What a klutz! Back in the kitchen, Steve has a surprise for Randi. Remember that list you made last week? Bam! Now I have one for YOU! Clears throat…“My List” (yes, it’s actually labeled as “My List” 1) Be flirty. 2) Play with my hair. 3) Touch me at least three times around my family and stuff. 4) Tell a dirty joke. 5) If my family wants to hot tub, you have to come. Steve’s surprised that Randi has problems with some of these items. Hell, for a quarter of a million bucks, he’d make out with a rabid monkey! Who wouldn’t?

I thought the shows were pure entertainment. Steve is a great comedian. This should boost his career from a starving actor to a fat cat. Randi will come out making some serious money too. Well, the Coy family, some might consider them victims. I'm wondering whether the show will at least toss them say like a hundred grand a piece and sign off on the rights. Add Anna to the list. She is too tight!

<<< But do you think Anna is a little bit suspicious? >>>

That's how I feel Mystic. What has Randi's family been told? They must have been told something or else the cameras wouldn't be there.

Yes. I can't really see how they can call this a reality show. Nothing is real about it. I just like the entertainment. Steve is a riot and I love his make believe family also.

Thanks for the site Ken. I bookmarked it to see what they have to say about the next episode. I'm extremely suspicious about the whole "reality" series but I'm hooked now.

The show is getting better and better each week. Well, cruder and cruder I should say.

The stink bomb in the pants to simulate a Yoga induced bowl movement was just simply hilarious.

It's on right now, I have to go watch it. He is about to meet her parents. This is gonna be good.

Did you folks see how Steve is reflecting outside on the park bench with Randi saying: they did pretty good today; impressed the coy family and that Steve was a different person around Randi. Steve said Randi must of rubbed off on him and for the better, that he seemed smarter. There was some magic elixer. Randi can even love this Steve, the calmer and nicer side of Steve. That his family would like Steve.

Oops, Steve just said that he's going to do a 180 tomorrow.
Going back to the TV show now.

Wow. I won't post any spoilers. It hasn't been on in the west coast yet, but it had me crying pretty hard.

Kind of feel sorry for her poor family though. But the stuff they pulled on them!

The two families meet at the Luowl (sp) before announcing that Randi and Steve were going to marry within three days. It turns out to be a nightmare for the Coys in meeting the Williams. Catherine (Randi's mom) said she has nothing in common with hippies, nor this family. Steve's dad is a recovering alcoholic. Steve said they were going to play some tricks and see the Coy family squirm. The William family members started a burping contests and encouraged Randi to join in. Her dad and the entired Coy family were grossed out. They raised Randi to be proper and well mannered and never thought Randi would even associate with Steve and their family in behaving like this.

Steve take's Randi's dad aside and told him that Randi and Steve didn't do anything yet, and that they both wanted to wait.... you know. That surprised Randi's dad as to even bringing that topic up at the party. Steve's sister acted like a vampire, acting like being hung...saying: "I want to have the most fun before I die.... I want to feel my body in the dirt as if I'm dead." Catherine said the Williams were the family from hell. The entire Coy family was stone cold faced.

Ooops, you think I spoiled their show? Didn't know the west coast hasn't seen the funny show yet.

It's hilarious!

OMG...that was so funny! I was almost horrified for the Coy family...but I cant help it...I still say they are the biggest snobs out there...and I still think her brother Pat is just a little too wierd about the whole thing....I dont know...something is bizarre about him being so angry about it....I mean being concerned is one thing...but he is just a tad bit too over the edge about it...almost to the point that its disurbing...

Anyhow...Steve's "family"...OMG...did they just put the Coy's in their place tonight! I was kind of wanting to see the reaction of the Coys to the Williams reactions. I thought they would be saying how wonderful it was vs. the Coy's anger...

Is this show only going on for two more weeks?

i liked how steve manipulated the coy family. he was on their good side on the first day and then the transformation of the family's reaction was just disgusting. first, they were like oh yeah, he's a great guy... blahblahblah... very nice... on the second day, they were like oh, he's an ass... he's evil... he's a [insert negative thought]...

it's amazing how quickly reaction changed for the coy family. but i don't think they're snobs, i think they're just uptight. some people choose to live that way and put up a fake smile, and that's fine.

and, yes, it's going on for another two weeks yay!

Another continuity problem on tonight's episode . . .

Remember last week, when the Coy family got the call and packed up to head for California? They loaded up into the family SUV and headed for the Denver airport. There were several shots both inside and outside the SUV but I don't really remember a lot about it -- model, brand, color, etc -- only that it was a dark color.

Okay, now to this week's episode. Randi and Steve are at the yacht basin, waiting for the arrival of the Coy family. I expected that they would show up in the stretch limo, like Anna had done when she came for her visit to the mansion and the Williams family had done when they came to stay at the mansion.

But no, here comes the Coy family -- driving up in a dark SUV !! HUH???? What's going on here? Did they drive all the way from Denver in one day? Or did they fly from Denver to LA and then rent an SUV just like the one they have back home? Why weren't they met at LAX and brought to the marina in the limo?

What's going on? More unanswered questions. More faulty continuity. More bad television.

But the show is HILARIOUS !!!!! Tonight, they showed a flashback to one of my favorite of Steve's stunts -- when he set off a stink bomb in his pocket and convinced Randi that he had just crapped his drawers !! Ho, Ho !!! That was hysterical.

Old Scout

i think the coy family was in a lexus (in colorado) then drove to the airport and rented the dark gmc when they came to the mansion.

Whidden, can you explain how you put pictures in your replies please. Thanks

AuntGoldie, I'll send you a Private Message and explain it.

This last episode hurt to watch. I felt guilty for being part of the joke on the Coy family.

Bad Whidden for watching this. Bad Bad Whidden.

It ended well, but they put that poor family through hell. http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage21/5.gif

You know what Whidden....I felt bad also....but then I had to further assess a few things:

For one: I think I still feel that the family thinks they are too good for people...I still thought it was bizzare that her sister and brothers were so highly upset, and her sister could hardly leave bed because of it.

I mean lets face it...people meet other people and sometimes members of their family might not like them..but its seems that this will be a BIG issue in this family, and I think that guys that see this show will think twice about wanting to date her family (because in essence thats almost what they would have to do).

And another thing i thought of....They talked about how upset they were that Steve was not a college graduate, yet here is Pat the oldest brother still living at home because he cant afford to move out...what kind of job does he have? And what right do they have to judge someone else when their own son/brother is a college graduate but cant afford to move?

I found that troubling.

And Im sorry....these people look like they are far from hurting for money...the house they live in most likely costs about $500,000 itself...a nice plush home like that in Colorado...they dress like they have a ton of money too.

not that I dont think its great to have a close family..but I think their closeness was a tad bit over the edge.....

Im glad she won the money...but I think the true colors of the Coy family have been exposed.

They were kind of uppity. I can imagine if I showed up with Randi on the Coys doorstep. A bunch of dirty looks is what I would get!

Still feel sorry for them though, they seem to be alright now, but they was hurtin there for awhile.

It is usually people with small self esteem that look down on others. The Coy boys were a couple of punk losers with no jobs and living at home. And a "intense" love for their sister...

Myself, I would love to have Steve for a brother in law, he was friendly enough!

Ho, Hum.

The first 4 shows were lively and funny. The last two were just a boring grind. Talk, talk, talk. Dull.

The ending was unsatisfying to me. Pure schmaltz.

The Coy family are a bunch of wimps. Someone in that bunch should have had enough balls to take a poke at Steve, or at least give him a good cussin'. But nothing happened.

And then, that scene at the end with everyone sitting around and watching the videotaped sequences and having a good laugh together. Give me a break! What is this, "The Waltons 2004"?

Nope, I wouldn't invite this crew back for another season.

Old Scout

I couldnt agree more!

The ending was a total disappointment compared to what I was expecting.

To me that goes to the "what snobs" these people were. If they were paid off because they threatened lawsuit...and I agree it did come off that way...then these people evidently have no sense of humor and cant even sit back and laugh at themselves.

I think it all came down to how they eventually percieved themselves to be and were possibly embarrassed by their behavior....

Of course I could be wrong...it could be that they are just...what I said...snobs.

http://www.realitytvworld.com/images/heads/139.jpg Snobs, tight@sses, money grubbers, humorless etc....etc...etc... are many viewer audience reactions we see and hear. Did you see her best friend Anna's face just sitting there stunned that Randi is doing this?

I was totally bummed out. I can't believe I wasted my time on this "reality" show. Give me a break. I believe everyone involved with this show knew what was coming down. I believe the whole thing was a joke on the viewers. Randi's family were better actors then Steve's family. And why did they pick this family to begin with. I also believe that Randi's family is above middle class. What a farce. I should have seen it coming.

It was a riot. I about died in that epidsode re: the nipples and vaginal birth! What a great actress. I loved the lady that played Steves mom.
