Joe Schmo 2
I finally got around to watching some of the Joe Schmo 2 episodes on my TiVo. Damn, it is funny. I almost p!ssed myself when I saw the first "Pearl Necklace Eviction Ceremony."

The faux-British host Derek Newcastle instructs phony bachelor Austin to pick four women to give a pearl necklace to (if you get a pearl necklace, you get to stay). Of course, they try to build the same sort of cheesy tension that you see on shows like "The Bachelor".

The gag would have gotten old real quick had it not been for Tim, one of this season's two Schmoes, trying not to crack up every time Austin would so sincerely ask, "Ingrid...can I give you a pearl necklace?" Poor Rita wasn't picked for a pearl necklace and was forced to walk the Last Chance for Love Trail of Tears.

Check out the website for more on the first two episodes
