Does anybody watch this? It's the absoulte comedy and a parody on the reality TV programs.

"Spike TV's hit series [returned] in hilarious form with Joe Schmo 2! Aside from "Joe" and "Jane," everyone else on the show are actors following a pre-determined storyline."

What did "Joe & Jane Schmo" - Tim and Ingrid - say in their original interviews that made the producers cast them?

Ingrid

Q: I'm a guy you just met in a bar. What pick up line would interest you?
A:Hello, I'm a designer for Manolo Blahnik, and I just had to come over and compliment you on your shoes. Have you seen the new spring line? Why don't you give me your number and I can sneak you into the showroom for a preview?

Q: What kind of guys do you like?
A:I like guys with confidence. Not matter what a man looks like, if he carries himself with genuine confidence I am totally turned on. But most of all, I like men that like me. My friends like to tease me about my attraction for younger men. I tell them, "I've always like 18-year-olds. I liked them when I was 14, and I like them even more now that I am 30.

Q: Would you consider yourself a good kisser, and why?
A:I love making out. But then again, I've always enjoyed doing things I'm good at. When it comes to the art of kissing, I think it is all in taking it slow, responding to your partner's signals, feeling every little sensation, teasing....

Q: How much backstabbing would you be willing to do to win a reality show?
A:Backstabber is not a word I would use to describe myself. But there are many other words I might use, like closet manipulator, or brilliant saleswoman. There are ways of getting people to do what you want without having to take away their dignity. I am not afraid to fight someone face-to-face for what I want, but I am not inclined to cowardly stab someone in the back when they are not looking so that I can better position myself for success.


:D This struck me as interesting:

Q: What is the craziness thing you have ever done?
A:After I finished college, I decided that I wanted to see the world. I worked for seven months saving my money for a trip through Europe and the Middle East. After I had saved what I thought would be enough, I sold everything I owned, packed my remaining belongings in a bag that fit under an airplane seat and set off alone to see the world. I began an adventure abroad that took me through several European countries and Egypt. Along the way, I took cooking, culture and language courses. I snorkeled the Red Sea, sailed along the Nile, hiked the Cinque Terre, climbed Mt. Sinai, led tours of the Vatican, cooked dinner for strangers in Copenhagen and was almost killed by a White Viper snake in the Western Desert. I traveled completely alone and it was my most wild adventure.


Q: What's your favorite movie? Why?
A:"The Way We Were." I love the comparison of falling in and out of a first love relationship to that of the American people's love an disillusionment with America and democracy.

Q: If you could be any fictitious or historical person, who would you be and why?
A:Madeline Albright during the Clinton Administration. It would be an honor to be the face of America to the rest of the world and have the chance to formulate US policy abroad. I admire the leaders she was able to meet and work with during her tenure.

Q: If you could be a super-hero, what would your name be? What super powers would you want above all others?
A:The Female Liberator. The power to hear what other people are thinking.

Q:If you had one wish, what would it be?
A:I would wish for 10 more wishes, use one wish for eternal thinness and the rest for world peace.

Q: Tell us why we should cast you. Why would people want to watch you on TV?
A:Cast me because I am a dynamic force that is going to leave an impression on your viewers. I am a strong personality, pledged to live my life to the fullest, take every challenge put before me, make the best of every situation, make life for those around me enjoyable and laugh as much as possible. Cast me because of my own quest for excitement will mean I never get boring to watch. Cast me because I am real and honest, hold nothing back and challenge all those around me to act similarly.


Anyways, almost through the midle of the show's running, she figured it out. I think that's why she was cast. ... they later brought in a 'new' "Jane."


Tim

Q: What was the worst pickup line you ever used on a girl and what was her response?
A:Hi, I'm Tim. I'm gay and I live with my parents. Up for a challenge? Her response...."Good for you."

Q: What are your best traits?
A:I'm honest, witty, a smart-ass and play a mean game of Ms. Pac Man.

Q: What are your worst traits?
A:I'm selfish, a smart-ass, my needlepoint needs work and I can't roller skate worth a squirt.

Q: Describe your perfect meal.
A:Kraft Deluxe Mac and Cheese. Served delicious every time.

Q: Describe a perfect night out.
A:Happy hour on the water, a fantastic steak dinner, then drinks with friends in a great neighborhood bar

Q: What was the saddest moment of your life?
A:Losing one of my friends to cancer. He became a hero for all of his friends. Not once did his plight discourage him. It's tough watching a 23-year old man die.

Q: Do you have any hobbies and why do you enjoy them?
A:Lacrosse, mountain biking, writing and watching great cult classics. Lacrosse and biking get me outside on nice days and keep me in shape. Writing and cult classics keep me busy on the not so nice days.

Q: Describe a family ritual from your childhood.
A:Besides the animal sacrifices we were kind of normal. We went to church on Sundays, went to the beach in the summertime.

Q: What will your life be like in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
A:One year, I will have opened my own bar. Five year, married and expecting first or second child. Ten years, Little League, expecting the last child. Twenty years, paying for college!

Q: Tell us why we should cast you. Why would people want to watch you on TV?
A:I'm energetic and try to have fun all the time. Plus, why not? I'm an entertainer and enjoy making people laugh and getting to know them.

Q: What would be your concerns about having intimate moments broadcast on TV?
A:That my mom will see my tattoos!

Sorry to inform you, but the second season is over!

But aren't you excited to watch for the next season now? :D
(they should be showing the repeat of it sometime in the upcoming weeks ... they have those Joe Schmo marathons ... kind of like the Seagalathons on TBS)

One of the cast...

T.J. - "The Playah"

T.J. possesses the three "C's": Cheese, Camaro and Chest Medallion. He fancies himself as the ultimate ladies man, but he couldn't be more ridiculous, boorish, and offensive. T.J. is every woman's worst nightmare.

T.J. is portrayed by Jon Huertas. He has appeared in Warner Bros.' "Executive Decision" and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" as well as HBO Films' "Borderline." Jon was a regular cast member on a number of popular television series including "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," "JAG" and "Moesha," and has guest-starred on "NYPD Blue," "Resurrection Blvd." and "The Shield."

Joe Schmo is not on TBS. It's on Spike TV - the network for men. :D

Yeah well that's even worse, they used to air the first Joe Schmo show back to back, the same episodes almost every single day. :rolleyes:

"they used to air ... episodes almost every day"

That's what the word 'marathon' means. Why is that the worst thing? Spike TV is one of the top networks.
