The Benefactor
 

anybody caught the first episode on ABC?

looks pretty stupid, but there is 1 million dollars up for grabs...


discuss

Are you related to the 'rock star' guy? :Graucho

Ya I watched it... standard reality show... I did enjoy watching it somewhat though.... But I wish that annoying dude would have got kicked off instead of the chick.

that guy is WAAAAY too conceided... :helpme

<------so sick of reality shows

LOL...a guy got kicked off because he made a statement of the game being stupid :1orglaugh

and he didn't imply stupid that way

he meant it as... "cute"



the host himself believes it all to be a "game" and then he kicks out the guy for believing it himself. while keeping some idiot who went through his house


the host seems like a guy who has no idea what he wants :1orglaugh

The host of that show is a billionaire.. He must have some sort of idea on what direction he wants to go .. ;)

And from the interview on Howard Stern monday morning he sounds like a pretty tight dude.. pz -g

he might know how to make money, but if he wasnt a "billionnaire" most ppl would think "what a dumbass host" :Graucho

The guy sold Broadcast.Com for over $5 Billion.

He's the owner of The Dallas Mavericks.

He knows exactly what he's doing.

But he is all about fun..and the key thing about this whole experience is not for it to be fun for the game players..but him and the audience...he's getting a kick out of fucking with people's heads while teaching them a lesson.

And quite honestly there were a couple of valuable lessons to be learned if you watched tonight's episode.

Don't open your mouth to say foolish shit unless..you never know who might be listening...he even brought up his own case in point where he lost a big deal because he made a flippant comment about someon and come to find out someone in the company was his friend.

I think this will be a very interesting show to watch..and I am sick to death of "reality" shows.

hmm, what is the goal of the show?

To win $1,000,000.00

Using Mark Cuban's criteria of who he thinks deserves it based upon what characteristics he thinks makes up a successful person.

no ill check it out tho

shit's wack...

shit, I forgot all about this show
Mark Cuban fucking rules...

I don't watch much TV either but I ended up watching the last 30 minutes of it. It's his game, and that's it.

Just proving he has money and he can make fools out of everyone and still getting paid to do the show.

Welcome to show business.

He should remember one thing, where would he have been if he didn't have .com (that goes for me too) but especially him.

I dont have time for reality shows, but I made sure to catch this one. real self-made billionaire and visionary secretly using this show as a tool to launch his HDTV empire and new search engine: icerocket.com, which he recently invested in. some valuable lessons in the first episode (stfu and don't talk shit; live up to the expectations you set; don't crack under pressure). I read his blog all the time: http://www.blogmaverick.com/
it's him vs. trump:
