Oh my God, the Elimidate that's on right now is so hilarious and sad.
Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 12:36 AM by Bouncy Ball
JUST sad. Four guys and a girl. It's about time, it's usually the other way around and I got sick of watching the girls fight over one guy, so I haven't watched it in a long time.

But one of these four guys has revealed himself to be insane in the first two minutes. Everyone else is so embarrassed for him, they aren't even LOOKING at him.

Dear God. He's incredibly loud, already drunk and you can't understand half of what he's saying. One of the other guys is baiting him. LOL.

Two of the guys haven't been able to get a word in yet.

1. As one who has been out of touch for years about such things,
Is this anything like the old Dating Game of the '60s?
:shrug:

2. Oh no.
Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 12:39 AM by Bouncy Ball
It's one woman, four men. They go out on a date ALL TOGETHER. She casually interviews each one and at certain points in the date, she decides on one to eliminate, until she gets down to one and that's the one she wants to date.

The loud drunk scary insane incoherent man will be first to go, unless she decides to keep him around for entertainment value.

I'm embarrassed at how amusing I find this show.

3. Oh she's so stupid!!
She just got rid of one of the ones who seemed the smartest, most serious and most mature!

THAT was dumb.

50. they always do that
The most reasonable ones get eliminated and they end up and the end with a choice between an insane person and a hunk/babe. They usually choose the hunk, but sometimes pick the nutcase. I think the producers must tell them to keep the loudest and strangest contestants until next to last.

4. No not at all.
Men and women go on dates in groups. In this case the woman gets to eliminate the guys one by one until she's with the one she wants to really date in private.

8. I usually end up hating EVERYONE.
LOL.

There was one with four girls and a guy and the guy was really passive. One of the girls was SO aggressive and so clearly a pathological liar that the OTHER three girls ganged up on her.

Now THAT was an entertaining one.

21. Yeah that's the crazy guy.
She keeps on KEEPING him, for some odd reason.

If she ends up picking him, she deserves what she gets. The other guy is so normal.

Oh good, she didn't pick him. WHEW. She has SOME taste.

Of course he says she couldn't handle him!!! LMAO!!!

9. Blind Date is so funny and pathetic, isn't it?
I watched it ONLY for the funny thought bubbles.

You can completely see why these people don't get dates.

19. Oh yeah, isn't it sad?
And that happens 90% of the time on Blind Date--the one who ISN'T crazy is the one who gets trashed.

Either the guy is nice and the woman is just a horror show or the woman is nice and the guy is a jerk and a half.

Why can't they just put the nice people with the nice people and the jerks with the jerks? Wouldn't be as entertaining that way?

51. I love it!

There was one a couple of nights ago where the man just
ran off!

He said, "I'm out, " and took off running.

The camera's couldn't even catch him. It's one of the most
bizarre thing I've ever seen.

16. Maddy, it's addictive, don't start watching. LOL!
It's my secret vice. I wouldn't have even mentioned it here if this particular episode didn't have such a totally crazy guy.

Seriously I have rarely seen anyone crazier on TV besides Anna Nicole Smith.

Oh God he and her need to have a reality show together. I could make a lot of money as a TV producer. Just throw some trashy people together, see what happens, film it, LOL.

before.

Ok someone each night around midnight central, 1 am eastern will start a thread called "Bad TV" or something like that. "The Blind Date/Elimidate/Cheaters thread"???

LOL!! :rofl:

31. Are they showing cheaters where you are?
I'm getting more elimidate. Its already hilarious. I think the ones with four women are usually more entertaining. They're more evil.

People get Cheaters to follow around their SO and spy on them like private detectives to catch them cheating. When they get the evidence that someone has been cheating they set up a confrontation between the couple and the person one of them is cheating with. Its really horrible and evil.

It's amazingly addictive. Damn you! LOL!

"Coming up, THE CONFRONTATION."

I do wish I had another Elimidate on.

Bad TV late at night, there's nothing like it.

49. I almost got hired to do Cheaters
It was going to be me and another girl (who I knew) and she was going to catch me with a guy. You get paid like $200 to do it, and it's a day and a half of filming. They do a lot of the filming in Dallas.

The deal fell through, but it would have been fun.
