So is anyone watching?

I just saw my first episode. it wasn't bad, but some parts just drag and drag, that whole talk about cooking, gawd!

Not watching at all, but I have heard that it is boring and drags.

Episode 1 was a grind. Watchable, but cookie cutter reality TV, with forced drama (Hacksaw and Atlas) and super cheesy drama (Piper wandering off). The cooking thing was drawn out and a pointless focal point that screamed to me they were desperate for usable material. I did like Piper vs The Blender, and Piper's talk with Busey about living character really struck me. "Do people walk up to YOU on the street and call you Joshua?'..." Good stuff.

That said, Episode 2 is much more watchable! So far, anyway, I keep falling asleep before I can finish it. That's not a knock on the show, I'm just exhausted lately. I thought Polo was great, I actually lol'd at Mean Gene, "My uh... gimmick? HE STOLE MY GIMMICK!", Tony Atlas making nice with the horses, and the ongoing man-crush Duggan has on Piper is bound to eventually go down in glorious flames!

I HAAAAAAAATE reality TV, and even though episode 1 had its shortcomings, I'm gonna stick with this. If I can stay awake. Life kinda sucks right now, but if Mean Gene can put a grin on ol' Bob-O's face these days, I'm coming back for more!

Cero, did I miss something? Does this mean you gave in and bought The Network!?

yeah had to for WMXXX. Some friends came over to watch it at my house and the streams where shitty as fuck, figured that 10 bucks was worth the quality. Having said this, i've only watch WM and like 4 hours worth of programming since.

The season is over, did anyone watch anything beyond the first episode?

I did. I stuck to my word and stuck with it, and by the end I was looking forward to Thursday nights. If anything else, I recommend the last two episodes. Well, not the LAST last one (The Boys Are Back... Again), that's just a panel with the legends and it's bad. But 'Back In Piper's Pit' and 'Farewell My Friends' were very enjoyable.
