Finally got around to watching first episode...wasn't as bad as some of you said..Will continue to watch..I haven't been watching much of the feeds though.

I'm about 30 minutes into the first episode. I don't think I'm going to continue just people arguing and acting over the top. Seems like they were told to just be assholes to each other. I want to punch this contractor dude in the face.

Don't rush to judgment on him yet, don't wanna spoil it, but keep an open mind

Glad Dave is gone, he was an irrational idiot. Same goes for Red. I would do horrible at this place, my patience is way too short.

Watched the premier last night, it definitely is interesting enough to keep watching.

All the screaming matches are a bit much, but I'm sure the producers found people that are prone to that sort of behavior and them put them with other people likely to bring it out in them. It seems like half the dudes on the show have had their turn flipping out over something stupid. I was cracking up when Red and the chef were fighting and the lawyer and contractor guy were just chilling talking about manicures and pedicures.

The whole bit about them getting unwanted sexual advances while also swimming naked in front of the dudes had me laughing. Could have been taken straight from the OT, what do you think is going to happen when you get everyone liquored up and get naked?

I'm sure they are all going to settle down soon enough, but hopefully it stays interesting in other ways.

Might check the pilot out tonight.

So I just finished watching part 1 of the premier and would like to get something straight (based on what I saw and what is previewed in the next episode). Dave, the ex-con, in his intro spiel mentions that he wants to use this as an opportunity to show that ex-cons can be reformed and he has changed, deserves a second chance, shouldn't be written off, etc. but by the second episode he's breaking into the safe to steal the groups' money?!?! Yep, you sure showed us.

Whoa now boss-baller. I can't afford DVR's. It's live or I catch it on the internet the next day.

Haha, you poor.

It is on demand with Cox, FYI. I started watching it yesterday afternoon, but could only get through about 30-40 minutes before I had to leave. It seems interesting enough, but the people on it are definitely retarded, like many of you have said. I mean, it's like they tried to get as stereotypical as possible...the asian airhead hot chick, the typical hippie woman, the a-hole contractor, the good guy black dude, the black dude fresh out of prison, the tatted white dude (who's also into guns, yay!), the muscley chick who hunts, etc.

And then, like fricking clockwork, there's Red. The epitome of a redneck/hillbilly. All the way from the alcoholism, the temper, the fact that he wears about a size 28 panrs, and all the way down to the sunken-in cheeks/jawline.



When they all had to put their shite into that huge box, and the ex-con was going off like "Take one of dem bows outta dare, now....NOW!!" I was cringing at how faked/scripted that seemed. I know that it's apparently not, but man that was overly "TV dramatic." But hilarious though.

I will definitely keep watching, and hope to finish the first episode either tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
