Steve9347 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 12:14 AM) Yeah, I might give The Brink a try. Going to wait on Ballers. It just looks dumb. So what exactly makes Ballers "look dumb"? The Brink is worth "a try" but Ballers "looks dumb"? I don't get it. It's a story about an ex-athlete played by a hollywood star who wants to get into the business side post-retirement. Ballers is actually pretty f***ing awesome. Also, had no idea the WR on the show is Denzel's kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a show still in it's infancy, only going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So, I didn't hate the premiere of Scream on MTV. I'm a fan of the movies growing up and am kinda protective of it but it wasn't bad plot wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The Big Brother editing is a bit strange so far, they are moving events around and are ignoring complete days where s*** goes down. The twins have been switching for almost a week now and they havent mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always only watched feeds on Thursdays after HOH so I don't get stuff spoiled for me but this year I have been watching some and it has been great. I'm not sure how long I will be watching them as the season goes along though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Finally saw episode 2 of True Detective. I knew there was something major that happened at the end, but the first 55 minutes or so were incredibly boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to not laugh out loud during the majority of the show Since you three seem to have been watching it for a while, is the show 100% real? I love it either way, but I feel like some of the reactions of the people around them seem too scripted to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off everything I have heard from the podcast and everything I think 90% of everything is real. They put ads in the paper or craigslist for the panels and stuff where they need an audience for. But it really seems real to me and even if it isn't I still love the show and the guys are just funny people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) just my opinion, but I don't think there's a chance impractical jokers is real.

They said they do a lot of stuff in wide open areas and plant "security" all over the places to look for people who identify the guys and pull them aside so they don't spoil it. And the popularity of the show means its harder for them to get through segments without someone figuring them out, but it all makes sense to me. I believe it's real.

Exactly, I have heard them say multiple times that if they are recognized they put the people off to the side and the guys will sign stuff for them or take pictures after they are done shooting. With any show on TV there will be always be stuff that is staged that is why I think 85-90% of the show is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
