Hah!! A "Very Special" Joe Schmo 2...

 

And I suspect that there'll be a "Hutch finish" for Ingrid...

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I think they already gave up who is dying in earlier previews.

 

At the beginning of the season didn't they show a clip about the falcon dying?

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

Well they certainly have their writing hats on don't they?

 

now i have to watch next week damnit.

[Astro101 0]

I was thinking wouldn't it be funny if Ingrid got booted, but it'd be funnier if she didn't know.

 

So I guess they were counting on Amanda to bring up that grampa detail so Austin would look like an ass.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

Didn't they say the Falcon killed the frog, then someone killed the Falcon?

[The Electrifyer 0]

Bryce should come back and murder someone next week.

[LaParkaMarka 0]

Pretty amusing stuff. Amanda is very hard to dislike, because she's so darn nice. And Ingrid as a possible villian would be great.

 

I'm guessing the Frog dies. I mean, Cammy did feed him a donut.

[The Mandarin 0]

This episode was one of the best in Schmo history. I'm getting the box set of this one as soon as it comes out. Still haven't gotten season one though.

 

Tim is really likable now. He was great in the last episode, and he was pretty funny tonight. He'll NEVER touch Matt Kennedy Gould, though.

 

Anybody willing to rank their favourite actors on the show?

 

Go here (Schmo 1) and here(Schmo 2) for full cast listings.

 

Mine:

 

1) Ralph Garman

2) Kip

3) The Hutch

4) Bryce

5) Molly, the Virgin

 

And of course, OriginalSchmo is the best non-actor.

[Guest Staravenger]

No particular order....

 

Ralph

Hutch

Kip

Bryce

 

Everyone else is OK, but no one REALLY stands out enough.

[LaParkaMarka 0]

Pshaw, what about Gerald? He's been great. T.J. is pretty good too, but we honestly haven't seen very much of him.

[SuperJerk 0]

This Cammy bit is awesome. And the look on Ralph's face was priceless

I so hope an uneditted version of that is on the DVD.

 

If Jana Speaker can't get regular acting gigs out of being on this show, then no one will.

I feel she's one of the worst actors/actresses on the show. She's very unconvincing and is only interesting because of her tits and fuck ups.

 

 

Gerald is OK, but Kip was a LOT better, and te character was gay, while T.J. really isn't interesting. Wow, he's a "playah", someone give the writers a fucking award for creativity.

[The Electrifyer 0]

Cammy is just too damned stupid to be believable.

 

Ralph, the host, is the best character on the show. His looks and one-liners are hilarious. "I'm sorry we had to see that... on such a small monitor" was the line of the year.

Gerald is a tougher role than Kip, I think. Kip could be over the top, because he was the stereotypical gay guy, while Gerald has to be more subtle since he only "could be gay".

 

Favourites:

- Ralph

- Ashleigh

- Gerald

- Hutch

- Montecore

- Bryce

New SchmoBlog entry!!

 

Porked and Beans

At long last, ‘Porked and Beans!’ Those of you who’ve seen it now know why we were so intent not to lose this particular plot! Contestants with pornographic pasts have long littered the reality TV landscape. This was our nod to all of them.

 

We shot ‘Porked and Beans’ guerrilla style in a Los Angeles motel during our rehearsal week. When I visited the set, our writer, Andrew Green, opened the door to the room just a crack, leaving the chain locked in case I was a cop. If a cop *had* happened into the room, everyone inside would have been carted off to jail. The scene was right out of ‘Boogie Nights.’ Andrew was wearing porn-producer sunglasses. Jana Speaker was covered in oil and glitter. And my brother, Caleb Reese, was wearing an apron with no shirt underneath, carrying one of about forty industrial-sized cans of Pork and Beans.

 

Yes, I cast my brother on the show… he’s an awesome theater actor from Arizona, and I knew he could give the chef role that certain obviously-faux-French flair. He and Jana maintained their senses of humor throughout. Jana willingly endured a dunking in franks that had everyone in the room gagging like Matt Kennedy Gould. Our wonderful art department lined the tub with plastic so as not to leave any stains, and we left the room precisely as we’d found it, with one exception: the smell. Apologies to whoever stayed in that room next. It just reeked of Van-De-Kamps.

 

Worse, this was a deluxe suite, so the next guest paid extra for the privilege!

 

You must have noticed, but the same actors played both Austin’s and Piper’s parents. This particular twist was my partner Paul’s idea. Tim Brennen and Robin McDonald are the talented pair (It was incredibly odd to watch them perform the same scene twice, because I truly felt like I was watching two different people). We grayed and ‘aged’ them the second day, because Austin was a good deal older than Piper, so we figured his parents would be, too.

 

Then we prayed that Amanda and Tim wouldn’t compare stories closely enough to make the connection. Stay tuned to see if prayer works.

 

We had absolutely nothing in Amanda’s envelope of embarrassment (her closet is perfectly free of skeletons, at least before she agreed to come on our reality show), so we coached Tim Brennen to tell his virginity story by the end of the meal regardless of whether she tried to elicit it.

 

Ingrid’s dead grandfather story was a plot originally intended for Ambrosia, but we entrusted it to Ingrid. She pulled it off wonderfully. The story was inspired by Johnny Fairplay on ‘Survivor,’ who lied about his grandmother’s death for sympathy. We first wanted the deceased to be a great grandmother, then changed it to a grandmother, and at last to a grandfather when Ingrid revealed to Amanda that both her grandmothers had already passed away (shocking, but even Ingrid makes mistakes!). Of course, Eleanor just can't seem to get any alone time.

 

Is Ingrid gone for good? I’m not going to spill my guts. But I will say that I wasn’t keen on letting Ingrid win $100,000 that easily, particularly not after all she put us through,

I gotta say, I missed the whole Johnny Fairplay angle, but then it wasn't done quite the same...

My dad came down last night, and sat at the computer for the last half of the episode. Gotta say, it's a lot harder to laugh out loud at "Porked & Beans" and "pearl necklace" with a parent right behind you.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Pearl Necklace might be easier because most parents wouldn't get it.

[Guest Fook]

No, it would be harder. Do you really want your mother asking why you find the phrase "pearl necklace" hilarious?

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I was thinking it would be easier to sit through and not worry about what they think. I stopped laughing at the whole pearl necklace thing a few episodes back. I still laugh at the reactions to it though.

[Guest Staravenger]

The only time it's funny is when Ralph turns it into a funny one liner. Face it, Ralph is the greatest, and if there is a Joe Schmo 3, he won't be the host.

Let's go with that premise. They do a Joe Schmo 3 - what do they spoof?

 

- They've already done Survivor-type game shows and reality dating, so those are out.

 

- Road Rules/The Amazing Race/Beg Borrow and Deal? Much too hard to control.

 

- The Real World? That's already a parody of itself.

 

- Plastic Surgery shows? A bit TOO extreme, I think.

 

- Renovation shows? A possibility, but I'd have no idea how you could spin it into a Joe Schmo-type show.

 

- American Idol/Making The Band? Bingo.

 

Granted, we had the whole "Superstar USA" thing, but this would be more an "Karaoke singer gets a recording contract" type thing. Call it "Lounge Lizards" (because they seem to like using L's in their fake show titles) or something and throw them in a house together, eliminating one person each week in a "karaoke-off". You can have the Diva, the flamboyant gay Diva, White Girl with Soul, the Token Minority, and John Stevens. What, you think he couldn't do karaoke?

 

Ralph, of course, would get the "Simon" role.

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0]

The title of tonight's show is "Requiem for a Frog", so I think the frog's biting the dust.

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

So I assume Bryce will be factoring into this... I wonder how.....

[Exslade ZX 0]

It's JOE SCHMO TIME!!

 

>_> What?

 

EDIT- so it looks like Ingrid is back! And Ralph still rules.

 

"We're all happy your grandfather is dead, and that you are back"

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Whoa what is Elenor doing to Piper???

[Guest Staravenger]

I knew they'd bring back Ingrid. Gotta copy the popularity of the Hutch being knocked up.

[The Czech Republic 0]

If Montecore dies, I'm gonna cry

"We're all happy your grandfather is dead, and that you are back"

I did a spittake when he said that. Now I'm cleaning beer off my carpet...

[The Czech Republic 0]

[Guest Staravenger]
