I won't be able to watch it since all I have is an antenna and can only get local channels. I would like to know how it is.Comment

Jon-Marc,
I just watched the Mad Mad house #1. It was entertaining. It uses the same formula as all of the other elemination reality shows. As for as the "Naturist" character, I think they should have dubbed him "Nature Boy" instead of "Naturist". Just my two cents.Comment

The show didn't have any positive naturist messages. The "naturist" was dressed 99% of the time. The show gets a big thumbs down from me.Comment

I seen it also and I think the naturist, which is actually a "natural" guy, should have been nude more BUTTTTTTTTT it is only show #1. They featured the Voodoo priestess and the vampire in #1. Given time I think they'll feature the others. One thing I've noticed is that I HATE the looks of a new show, then it takes off big time. I thought that about with Voyager, Rosey O'Donnell, Next Generation and now Mad, mad House. This always happens with the shows I hate at first, I TAKES OFF.

I know that there is no naturist/nudist who lives nude 24/7. I'm nude much less now that I'm back to work. However, if I was in a TV show that featured me as a nudist, I would be nude every moment that I could, day and night. It's still cold here, so I wear a T shirt to bed, but I'm as nude as I can tolerate when I'm at home. I'm nude when I'm in the clubhouse here at the resort.
If the man in the show is a naturist/nudist, why would he wear clothes if he doesn't have to? The ad I saw for the show said that they wanted a man who was a "typical representative of the naturist lifestyle". So is staying "dressed 99% of the time" a "typical" naturist?Comment

Yeah I mean if he is a naturist and spends most of the time in a big house then why doesnt he represent us naturists and take his clothes off for cryin out loud. If I was in his position id be naked as much as theyd allow me to and if they gave me any flack about it id just say "well hey im a naturist, its what I do and besides you said you wanted someone who likes to be naked and represents the lifestyle" I mean how do you represent the lifestyle if youre clothed? Being a naturist isnt about being clothed, its about being naked, if he wants to do that then he should go on another reality show. Besides if its reality then most naturists in reality go nude. I think he's a big faker and just some guy to make us look back and get some ratings for the big CEOs upstairs.Comment

Corky: The show didn't have any positive naturist messages. The "naturist" was dressed 99% of the time. The show gets a big thumbs down from me.--------------------------------------
I agree. The Naturist was clothed 99% of the time. He was nude on only one occaision, waking up the next morning. The lady couldn't believe it. She was literally speechless. The other guy, the Primative ???????, was sunbathing nude, and the contestant was "horrified" by his nudity and chose not to sit next to him.
I agree, if the Naturist was to represent the nudist lifestyle, he should have been nude from the git go, and remain as such.
The show is entertaining, and for that purpose only. It's almost like watching "The Fear Factor" only with different characters choosing the stunts.Comment

The promo that I saw for the naturist 'torturing' (for lack of a better, and perhaps more accurate word) had everyone stripping naked and running out of the house into the yard lining up in what appeared to be rows of three. And as he's one of three not shown yet I would imagine that next week we will see this happen.
I'm wondering how the "guests" will take standing there naked in front of each other. Seems to me this would be more forced nudity than anything else; granted, they can choose to opt out if they wish (as in last night's show) but in the 2 seconds of promo that I saw it seemed everyone was naked.Comment

What really bothered me about last night's show was that the guy 'playing' the naturist (I use that term loosely, because I can't bring myself to take any of them seriously) made himself and all naturists out as some sort of hippies that live out in the wild who eat dandelions and live in caves. From what I heard him say last night, I'd say it is guys like him who hold the reason that there tends to be a distinctive difference between the terms 'nudism' and 'naturism.'Comment

I agree that the nudity would be forced. This is sending out the wrong message, in that, if you are serious in seeking out the "big prize", then you better participate in the nude activity. Being able to participate nude would be one thing, but if it was forced upon you, then your chances of winning are somewhat diminished.
The Naturist should be nude the entire time, not only on certain occaisions. It would prep the contestants as to what they are to experience. They, the contestants, would then be willing to accept having a nude person around all the time.
As far as your definitions concerning 'nudism' and 'naturism', yea, he would be considered a naturist instead of a nudist, which he is advertised as in the first place. Eating dandelions? Yech! Sounds of the late Ewell Gibbons and his 'wild hickory nuts'. (Kind of telling my age)Comment

Hey Corky, how does Corey feel about not getting picked for this show? From what I've seen, it's a blessing in disguise. Just curious.Comment

The thing is, there's several women "guests" on the show, and it seems as if last night's show, that being the first one and thus far only one to air, tried to play nudity up as if every single "guest" in the house was bothered by it --not just the women. I don't recall which woman talked about how the guy in the room she was in woke up and walked around naked in front of her, but there was also the guest who had the problem with "Mr. Tattoo" (for lack of a name and a better description) sunned himself naked outside during lunch.

Which is precisely my point, if he's a naturist why is he wearing clothes? I think that when they do the nude "challenge" (god I can't help but think of Fear Factor when I write that) that it will end up being more embarrassing for the women than the man because the women won't be able to cover up their breasts. The promo that I saw, I got the impression that they were all naked but they were holding some items in front of their crotches. Which is why I say that one will be more embarrassing for the women with their breasts out there in the open like that. I'd have to wonder what sort of editing was done for this segment; obviously they are going to blur everything out that needs blurring out but I'm wondering what we won't see that the crew and the rest of the attendees there saw.[/QB][/QUOTE]

Dandelions are actually edible but they don't taste very well. And I find it interesting that the other four 'housemates' (I still want to call them actors, but oh well...) are spending more time nude collectively than the guy who is supposed to be the nudist in this show.
