One and ONLY Joe Schmo Season Finale Thread...

Recommended Posts

Wow....the is one of the few new shows lately that I have genuinely liked. Wow....I really felt it with this show. Bravo Spike TV...you actually came up with something good.

Does anyone know what the ratings for the show were like though? I wanna know if everyone loved it as much as us.

Oh and I'm glad he never fell in love with Molly. They would've had to confess then..."I love you! You make me feel great. I've never met a person like you! Molly I love you..."...."Matt.....I'm not real."

Wow....this show...just....well I just haven't run into a show that made me feel like this lately.

I hope they DON'T do a Season 2. They could never find a replacement for Matt. Never.

That was a really nice ending. And Matt took that really well, considering. It was cute seeing him visit the "control room" and see the crew and whatnot.

 

Ralph - "I just want you to know one thing: I'm not a tool."

 

Good ol Ralph. Oh, and Ashleigh + Molly = hot.

 

You know, for a sequel, why not play the joke on a chick? That could be interesting.

I don't see how they could do it again. And I don't think doing it with someone hated would work because he'd probably go off and kill everyone when he found out.

 

Now doing it to a girl...that would be emotional.

The thing is, is that you can't just find another Matt Kennedy Gould -- people will have seen it already. You'd need to find a totally different character, which is why I bring up the asshole. The girl would work too, but then you'd get about eighty Earls (stereotyping rulz).

Plus with an asshole what do you do at the end? You can't go all lovey dovey "we did this for you" because he'll find it stupid.

 

They could just say "hey we're actors...here's your money now get out of here"

Well, Joe Millionaire had the twist where he wasn't a millionaire but they ended up getting money anyways. Have a vaguely similar thing where the Schmoe has to make a choice at the end that decides whether or not he/she gets the prize.

 

I'm not sure if it would work with an asshole...maybe with a schemer like Gina was supposed to be. You know, somewhat nice but they think they're some supreme strategist/manipulator. That could be fun.

 

Two hours of Joe Schmoe and then an hour of Joe Millionaire. God, I need a life.

Hah, great ending!

Most reality shows end really abruptly...pick the winner...they hug and then its over. I'm glad they took the time to have an interview with the guy.

 

And whats wrong with Gina??? She was fucking sexy as hell!

 

It kind of sucks for Matt about Brian being an actor. Looked like he was really hurt about that. The one person you actually trusted ended up lying to you.

 

Earl is hilarious, for some morbid reason that "Only thing you feel from taking a human life is the recoil..." line plus his stern look had me laughing pretty hard.

 

Kip should get an award, he played the hell out of his part.

I hope they don't do a Joe Schmoe 2, because it just wouldn't work AND nothing ever rekindles the magic of the original (in TV world). Survivor 1 and 2 were good, everything else has sucked ass. And with things like Joe Millionare and Joe Schmoe, they just don't work a second time around.

Seriously, I have not been this captivated at a reality show since the first season of Survivor.

 

Great fucking show. It will DEFINITELY get my money when it comes out on DVD.

What I found funnier about Earl was when he walked to the back and everybody was getting bent out of shape about Matt crying, and he just smirked and was like "Yeah, he loved me". That cracked me up instantly.

You know, I'm saw a bit of the ep again as it repeats, and I really dislike the whole "It was all for you!" angle. I'm glad Matt called them on it at his interview thing, it obviously wasn't all for him. Hell, the advertising around the show is based on the idea of some moron falling for a fake show. Not exactly altruistic.
