I wasn't going to watch TV regularly this summer, but Matt has proved to be a bad influence on me. He is hooked on Joe Schmo 2. This year they've picked 2 schmos to dupe into believing they're on a reality series. The guy is totally believing it, but the girl, Ingrid, is totally suspicious. And with good right. They keep doing some really dumb things, but I think that's sort of the point. Get in her face and do unbelievable thigns and see if she believes them.
The show would probably not be nearly so funny if they didn't totally make fun of themselves. They have the girl, Ingrid, up on the screen. And she's doing her “thoughts” bit. and they have “Ingrid, thinks it's all real” on the screen below her. And as they go through the interviews and flash back to stuff that's happening in the house, they go from “Ingrid, thinks it's all real” to “Ingrid, thinks 50% of it's real” to “Ingrid, thinks 25% of it's real” to “Ingrid, we're screwed!” Hehehhe. They also are doing the “coming up later” things and they said, “And later, the most shocking elimination ceremony yet! And this time we really mean it!” Of course they were lying. They jerked us around and we're not going to see who gets eliminated until next week. They're thinking about elminating Ingrid because she's suspicious.
We are so hooked. We liked the first Shmo better. He was nice.
My friend just told me how much she loves this show…I think I'll have to check it out.
