This is a series in the second year on Fox realityu channel. It is a show about people who voluntarily appear on tis show to be isolated in a "pod", hee, and subject themselves to the whim of the automated voice. They are told to do various unpleasant things and the person who drops out first is eliminated. There is usually a winner as well.

If anyone wants to see the show, I can load them out to megaupload and you can see it that way.

I am getting it from a member of TVC and we are discussing it there, but there is not much discussion and I miss that. I need to share!

I'm hooked on this show for some reason. I usually end up watching it at midnight on Saturday since I watch something else at 9:00. It's really fascinating to watch how people react to different stressors.

WHat I don't understand is why people sign up for this show, but they all seem pretty havppy to have done it.

Did you see all of series one?

I also see I put this in the wrong place, it should be in reality programs.

Thanks. I needed that.

I'd like to see some of these Play..

Do you want season 1 which is complete, or season 2, which is in progress and 1/2 done. Season 2 is much better than season 1, but I was addicted to season 1 when it was on.

I will start putting them up later tonight.

It's torture, I tell you!

[Couch Tomato]

i'll go season 2

Well, there is one scene in the road to reality that does not reflect what you usally see - the one where they have you watch the video they normally use on the pod people. As a rule, you are not subjected to any lengthy torture as an observer.

Well, episode 5 is not for the weak. I haven't loaded it out yet.

Let me just explain what I really like about this show - yes, it is about frustration and paitience and torture and masochism - but - The people can drop out anytime they want, the money is minimal and everyone who leaves seems to ahve learned something important about themselves. You never hear the bitter speeches of survivor, and lately on TAR. You don't hear the It's not fair complaint because they have decided when they have enough - well actually, there is on exception here that basically painted a target on themselves, but I won't give it away. The first year there was no interaction, I wish that this year it was the same because when you are isolated, you cannot blame anyone else.

The wind up show from last year was amazing. Everyone seemed to love and admire their competitors and many had resolved outstanding issues in their lives and everyone was happy for the winner. It was the best reunion show I had ever seen, and I include the top chef 1 where Steven apologized to someone for being an ass during the show, and he was not even that bad, ass yes, but nothing compared to other reality shows.
