Too many weak actors this season


Would you agree? Lorenzo Lamas is hilarious, along with the translator, and the a-hole is pretty funny, but that's where my "good list" ends.

I want to say Mr. Wentworth was a little wooden, but.....

Lamas was a surprising good time. Along with the translator and Randy, I also thought the deaf girl was pretty funny. Belushi did okay, convincing as the 'buddy'. Chico was all right.

Ralph Garman is great.


I'm a seeker too. But my dreams aren't like yours...

Ah, I forgot about Chico. I liked him a lot. The deaf girl got on my nerves, but that may have more to do with her screw-ups than any acting ability.

I'm going to have to disagree with Belushi, though. He really doesn't strike me as likable the way the first "best friend" or even Gerald in Season 2 were. I was pretty surprised to hear how much Chase liked him because you really can't see any kind of friendship between the two of them in previous episodes. He just kind of seems to make wisecracks when the opportunity arises.

the deaf girl (and her sidekick mr wentworth) was hilarious, i liked lv flying his rainbow kite in his bikini bottoms, and montroses trophy chick was very funny. i thought the all did well

They didn't really give Belushi a lot of screen time relative to the others though. Which is probably b/c most of his interactions with Chase were likely the most tame of all, since he was supposed to just come across as a regular, nice guy. But of all the "actors" he was the only one that I actually found myself forgetting wasn't really a competitor at times. And it led to what I thought were some of the funniest moments on the show though. The part where he had to pat down that tall, pretty girl, and he says he has to check her weave followed by the line of "I'm sorry, that was rude, that's clearly your real hair" completely awkward was hysterical to me. Even if I knew it was all an act.

I thought the a-hole was weak, he didn't really bring it.

Especially Chase.

I loved Lorenzo's character. I hated that they eliminated him so early on but it was good to have him back. Definitely added a lot to the show. He came across as too abrasive though and Chase went after him right away. I think rather than having the others form an alliance with Chase right away, they should've waited on it a little. That way they could control who gets sent home early on and then start to give Chase more and more power in deciding.

I also liked Randy and the deaf chick/translator combo. Good stuff. Chico was another good one too. Everyone else was hit or miss. Most of the time they seemed like background characters to me. Nobody really stood out.
