Well, they spent an awful lot of time introducing the guys and the girls, and coupling up took a while. And right before something good happened, CBS went to break for effect. The "diary room" segments are a lot like Big Brother, except instead of advancing the plot, we go on about how relationships might work, and so on and so forth. And when it came time for Kyra to decide who to steal, they went to break, and then they told us to come back tomorrow night and watch. I suppose it's on par with early episodes of Network 10-era BBAU and The Bachelor.
The people themselves are Central Casting, your typical pretty people. I don't think they'd take a 6'2", 240-lb. nerdy slob like myself. Everybody looks like they belong on an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. They're bold and beautiful.
Of course, there was no way to vote on anything. There was nothing to vote for.
It's the sort of show where you don't really have to be paying attention to the screen all the time, which was nice because I downloaded my copy of Dr. Mario World to my phone. Is that the right idea?
I guess I'm just so used to the Survivor and BBUS formats (chat, chat, strategy, strategy, challenge, eviction/tribal), that there really wasn't anything to get me hooked.
How often do they have challenges? Are there any fights? If I'm going to be spending an hour every night watching people make out and stuff, forget it.
