Have any of you seen the previews for this new reality show which airs March 4 on the SciFi Channel?

Five practitioners of "alternative lifestyles" — a Wiccan, a Naturist, a Modern Primitive, a Voodoo Priestess and a real-life Vampire (known collectively as the Alts) — rule the roost. Meanwhile, 10 ordinary folks move into the House as the Alts' Guests — and compete against one another for the $100,000 jackpot.

The Guests will live out a Survivor meets The Real World meets The Osbournes lifestyle — and try to get along living under one roof together. The eclectic and unpredictable Alts will challenge them, judge them and eliminate them one by one — ultimately deciding which Guest is most fit for life in the Mad Mad House.

I have seen the previews to this, and I think I'll be tuning in for the pilot. We'll see how it goes from there. Looks pretty interesting though!

Okay, I watched it. Am I the only one? I actually kinda liked most of them, although I'll admit, Don was pretty creepy. Avocado & Art seem pretty cool. Wouldn't want to live with any of them though.

I watched it Jenni. And I'm inclined to believe that the "alts" are all payed actors and this might even be revealed in the end.

The voodoo ceremony was pure Hollywood schtick. And Don....contacts, acrylic nails, and caps. Once you get past his makeup I'm pretty sure you'll find an Asian actor.

Still...I'm hooked...if only to see the house guests having to perform acts totally out of their comfort realm

I am so glad Kelly is gone. Sheesh, what a drama queen. I haven't figured out yet who I think will make it to the end. Couldn't believe Bonnie didn't participate in the games! That's not good if she wants to hang around. What do you think Georgia? And are you going to have the Alts over for the final episode?

Jenni, I'd love to have the alts over for the final viewing. I think they'd feel right at home. The witch would notice all my skulls and crystal balls. The voodoo priestess would see my voodoo doll. I'd answer the door wearing my custom made vampire fangs for the vampire...and maybe I'd be naked for the naturalist. Haven't quite figured out what to do for the native tho...

I've answered the question for last week. But I didn't get around to answering for the first episode. Too bad you can't go back and answer older questions.

And I actually think one of the guys might win. Or maybe the blonde girl. I don't know them well enough to remember their names. But man...Kelly...I was expecting her to spew pea soup vomit the way she was going through those motions of reguritation!

Georgia, what happened last night??? I missed it!!

Well lets see...there was a female orgy...
Seriously tho':

The day after the second Elimination Ceremony, at sunset, Fiona leads the women in an anointing ceremony. Dressed in white lingerie, they honor themselves as goddesses by smearing white clay on each other. Fiona tells the men that if they wish to enter the circle, they must bring the women wines and fruits and provide them with massages. The men gladly oblige.

During the Voodoo Trial, the Guests stand in deep holes and get doused with ingredients associated with Voodoo: earth (dirt), fruit, honey, feathers, fish, seaweed and animal organs. Then they search under the goop for five sacred items: a doll, a rattle, a necklace, a candle and a key. The race is close between Brent and Bonnie, but Bonnie prevails and wins immunity from Elimination.

Tim's chatter has annoyed both the Alts and the Guests. Just as Fiona did at the previous Elimination Ceremony, Avocado makes Tim aware of his constant talking. After the Trial, Tim atones by taking a 24-hour vow of silence.

The third Elimination Ceremony begins at midnight. With eight Guests left, the Alts make a crucial decision. Brent is shocked to receive four Elimination Necklaces. By a large majority, he is eliminated from the House.

As a side note, Don the Vampire and Art the Modern Primitive take Brent, Loana and Eric shopping for groceries at the neighborhood supermarket. One little old lady was amazed by the Alts appearance and said Don was an "Angel" (LOL) and Art was a Devil because of his devil tattoos. Art was offended and asked her why she would call him a Devil and did she know what was in his heart? At that point Brent stepped in and told her that Art had perhaps the biggest heart of anyone he had ever met.

Anything else ya wanna know? You realize the show will be repeated on Tuesday night at 10 pm EST don't you? Each episode is repeated at least twice.

That should just about do it. Thanks for the tip of Tuesdays though. I usually watch the second showing of it on Thursdays (can't miss Friends & Will & Grace ) Didn't realize it was on Tuesdays as well. Sounds like I missed a good one. I agree with Eric too...I think Art seems like one cool guy. Not surprised to hear about Brent. Figured it was just a matter of time.

"Friends" and "Will and Grace" come on at 8 & 8:30. "Mad Mad House" comes on at 9. Fess up...it conflicts with "The Apprentice", that's why you watch the second show. Besides, they make VCRs for conflicts like this

Who's Eric??

Yes, well all three actually. I went to dinner last night with my sister, and I only have one VCR so I had to pick. Had I known that Apprentice was going to be a recap, I would have recorded Mad Mad House.

I had said Eric because when I read your post, all the names I saw were Eric & Loana. Didn't see Brent in there at all...twice. Anyway, whomever said the nice things about Art, I agree with them!!!

Thanks to you from here, Georgia. We too missed the show last night. I wanted to see the repeat on Fox of "Wonderfalls" since I only caught the first part on Friday last.

I would've stopped watching Mad, Mad House last week if they hadn't have voted that awful Kelly off. I was sick of her week one!

Jenni, one of us needs reading glasses because I don't see where I even mentioned Eric in my post! LOL

And you are most welcome Rakuchild. It's nice to know we have another macabre member watching this show!

Georgia! What happened last night?? I forgot to set the recorder for all of my shows!!! ACK!!!!

Oh no!!! You didn't!!!
Here is your recap:
With only five Guests remaining, everyone turns their attention toward Nichole and the question of whether she is genuine or just "playing the game."

It is revealed that Noel has been taking cold medicine at night time, which causes Ta'Shia to become alarmed and to question him about it. He reveals in "the confessional" that it is just a ploy to make the alts think he has an addiction. He plans on "miraculously" becoming cured of this "addiction" in hopes that the alts will think that he is continuing to grow and become a better person. Later, in a private chat with Ta'Shia, he hands over his pills claiming he doesn't feel he "needs them anymore".

At the Vampire Showcase, Noel volunteers for Don's energy-draining ritual. Don and his acolytes (Gina and Anthrax) lay hands upon Noel and leave him disoriented and in a collapsed mess. Don then drains blood from his female acolyte, Gina, and drinks it while Fiona starts laughing hysterically.

Afterwards, the other 4 alts are so upset by Don's ceremony that they spend the night "smudging" the house, each other, and all the guests with sage. They believe that ceremony has unleashed a dark force and they feel the need to clean the house. And Fiona reveals to the alts that she was laughing because she was nervous and that she thought what Don did to Noel was totally irresponsible and that Noel should have been warned of the extremity of Don's actions.

The next day, at Avocado's Naturist Trial, the Guests are garbed in identical garments and told to search for wild food items and return them, each having a 2 minute time limit. As each Guest finds an item, they must remove one article of clothing. After three rounds, the Guests are left with only their robes. Loana refuses to remove hers. Nichole is the first to find the final item, disrobe and win the trial.

At the Elimination Ceremony, the Alts do something unprecedented: Despite Nichole's immunity, they make her rejoin the other Guests. She obeys this order with stoic silence.

Next, the Alts hand their necklaces to the Guests and give them the voting power. Noel receives three necklaces, including one from Eric, shattering their alliance. Then the Alts reveal that no one is to be eliminated tonight: It has all been a ruse to expose the Guests' true feelings about one another. To quote Art, "Noel will not be eliminated tonight. Did you think you could really vote off someone? Only the Alts have that power!"


For future reference, remember if you miss the 9pm show on Thursday nights, it will be repeated at 11pm the same night.

Ooohh...sounds like I missed a good one! Dang! Imissed a good night of tv all together! Oh well! I'll try to tune in Tuesday, but can't guarantee anything! Is Noel the one who is a janitor and had to go around telling everyone last week he was a writer?

Jenni, it's not on Tuesday nights, its repeated later on Thursday nights. And yes, Noel is the one who had to use the Budha greeting and speak the affirmation. "I am a writer" was not signifying that he was a writer as a profession. He was merely vocalizing what he felt his talent was in an effort to bring it into reality. Don't ask me why...it was some of Ta'shia's mumbo jumbo...

Interesting turn of events last night. I kinda liked Noel, but they are all starting to get on my nerves to be honest. I don't like Nichole. I think my choice to win it would be Jamie. She seems the most sincere and least out to get anyone. At least so far.
