  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Unanimous!

I have read some threads on the message boards for the show and many people are very suspicious that they whole show is a big set-up.

Some think that they are ALL actors except for just one "real" person. And some think that the joke is just totally on the audience.

I know the main reason I watch is its right after Idol.

After the first week, though, I taped it -to get through it as fast as possible. But I do sitll want to see what's going to happen.

I will not get sucked in like that again; no more reality shows!
I don't think I could ever say that even though they do make me mad at times...I quit one(The Apprentice), but all of them? I used to say that about a couple of soap operas...I still tune in.^_^

Didn't anyone else watch this brand-new show, right after Idol?

I'm really wondering what this group of 9 people THOUGHT they were getting into...
I watched it, but another show of mine is on at the same time, so I had to flip back and forth to watch it.

My son was saying if he would be oucast he would just leave the game...he doesn't understand why they are staying there if they can't win the money...I told him "they still get to vote" and he said, "So what, I wouldn't stay there if I couldn't win the money!!!" I started think I wouldn't stay either.

I believe the show is taped - like other reality shows, but I don't know for sure.

I agree that the box was no big deal - optimistic me thought they'd give him some money!

I agree that I really don't want to see Jonathan win. I was rather surprise that people seemed untouched by the fact that Richard's friend said he wanted to buy his mother a house, but then they were touched that Jonathan had given his sister $20/day.

I wonder if his sister is as much of a liar as he is.

And...I agree I can't wait for it to be over. If they made me an outcast, I would leave for sure.

But then again, I'd probably leave at the beginning when they gave that option. Wouldn't have wanted to be stuck in that circumstance.

My husband has been wondering all along why on earth the outcasts stay. As nasty as it gets, it seems the greatest revenge for being voted an outcast would be to leave and cut the money in half.

But maybe there was something that I missed and the money doesn't get cut in half if an outcast leaves, so maybe they're staying in hopes for a twist and them getting un-outcasted sometime in the future.

Last night I was saying that Jonathan's sister is probably every bit the psychopath he is, and will someone PLEASE tell me why none of the others caught on to the fact that she didn't mention ANYTHING about her brother having testicular cancer?????:confused: :mad:

Seems like that would be the natural thing to use to talk people into giving your brother the money and not helping you out when you were unemployed!

What I'm most looking forward to is hearing from the contestants AFTER they've seen the show and find out about all the lies, especially Jonathan's lies since he single-handedly created all the hell for everyone since he ruined that almost unanimous vote for Steve.

I could not agree more! :thumbsup: Excellent points!

Really - why didn't it occur to ANYONE that she didn't mention him being sick??? Why???

And yeah, I would LOVE to see their reactions to the whole scene with Jonathan.

I know this thing is edited, but we never, ever hear him talk about being sick OR being asked by any of them how he is doing. That seems very weird too.

Hi, J4J, glad to see you join the crowd! :wave:

It's been said in here before that it's like a train wreck, and we can't get ourselves to turn away. I just wish it was longer, though. It's like it just gets going and then they hit you with the cliff-hanger at the end. :mad: It's so frustrating!

I don't care who wins either, and I wouldn't be surprised if they bickered and carried on until all the money was gone. They've already frittered away a million dollars! :p (Well, to be fair, Kelly single-handedly erased 3/4 of it :mad: )

I used to hope that anyone but Jonathan would win, but now I'm thinking it would serve all of them right for him to win. :p

I wonder if when it's all over - which I wonder when THAT will be - if we'll all come back here and be posting our regrets for watching this show.

Hmmm.... I guess we'll see.

and I still don't want Jonathan to win...although none of them are really making me feel warm and fuzzy!

Well, there it is...

Another week of this crazy show.

What did you guys think?

Glad I'm not stuck in that bunker, I can tell you that, right now. I wonder just how many days have gone by at this point in time.

What will the ultimate twist be - that we've all been taken?

Tonight my husband said - How could the show have been concluded in the first week? They would have had no show if they got a Unanimous vote right away. The show NEEDS to keep going and going.

I just don't know --- is it all fake?

I'm much too trusting a person and even I'm wondering...big time. :confused:


We'll see.....
