Not as bad as being stuck in that same house when one of your roommates starts hooking up with said ex.

You mean you're not just terrific friends with all of your exes and wouldn't invite every last one of them to your own wedding some day?

Wow, that is not at all what I thought you meant by "vibrating" Tweek doll.

Especially if said ex is of the hottest-sex-ever* variety.

*Until you met your current sweetie, of course.

I wonder what the prospective housemates revealed about their past relationships and how the casting directors took those facts into account. I would seek a variety, e.g., the aforementioned hottest sex ex, the one that got away ex, the everything was great but there was no chemistry ex, the cheating ex, etc.

Well, then you have no choice but to get back together immediately.

Of course, what happens on Big Brother stays on Big Brother.

Note to Fox: This would make a great plot twist for Temptation Island. Bring back the hot-sex-ex for each couple and see what happens.

How diabolical! For even if no cheating occurs, you know there'll be some lying going on.

It's brilliant. There is nothing quite like the Ex-Factor to shake things up.

Looks like I will be adding big brother to our list of shows.

Big Brother is great viewing. I didn't watch the first season (or the second?), but I thoroughly enjoyed last season's "Roddy is the devil!!!" machinations, which met with well-deserved defeat. It was totally addictive.

And I'm not (too) embarrassed to admit it.

Did I go to college with you?

Possibly. But I wasn't that ex.

I wasn't any of those people, and I think actually the dating people were housemates, then broke up, then the guy started having sleepovers with his new girlfriend in the house he was still sharing with his old girlfriend.

It was a little awkward.

Tweet!

Foul on the Play!

Here's the Call ... "Using 'Plot' and 'Temptation Island' in the same sentence"

How about that, Jim Nantz, the referee is assessing a penalty viewing of six hours of 'Mr. Personality' with NO bathroom breaks!

Let's get back to the action ....

Did anybody watch this, or is Showtime not FB cool?

I'd have to say I was a little disappointed after all the critical acclaim I'd heard. Mandy Patinkin is good, and I admit it's a little funny to see Jasmine Guy swear, but overall it was a little slow as pilots go.

It's kind of funny that Callum Blue was also in "Shades" on the BBC, which was also about dead people interacting with the living while looking like other people. Talk about typecasting.

Famous dog will be on Sex and the City sometime this year. Since I have yet to see an episode, I don't know if he's been on yet. here he is, Mr. Winkle
