Starts tonight on CBS. Only 13 episodes. We need to guess who the killer is as some of the25 wedding guests get killed off weekly. Good reviews from all reports I've seen. Trapped on an island with a killer loose....yippee!! As long as it's on tv :?
Some days its not even worth chewing through the restraints.

Oh geeze another reality show :o
Looks like a fun series. I like the promo where they follow the empty beer bottle as it sinks past the guy tied to the keel of the boat. :lol:
Don't think I will have the time to follow it. :cry:

Okay....who's the killer. 2 dead and only 23 more to go. Take a guess!!! :lol:
I was surprised to see Harry Hamlin killed off in the 1st ep. I wonder if his little speech to the bride's father is a clue??
Decent 1st ep but I am watching it for fun and the 13 week involvement.

What HORRIBLE acting! Ok, here's the first problem. What kind of "best friend" decides "Hey, I need to get married where your MOM was murdered so you better come!" What a DICK! The show is way to predictable and to easy to make fun of so I'll watch until I'm horribly horribly bored. ;)

MYTH WROTE:Decent 1st ep but I am watching it for fun and the 13 week involvement.
Yeah, if this was even a full season I'd be bailing right now.
As for the killer, my theory is that John Wakefield didn't kill those people years ago. Whoever is killing people now is the same person who was killing them then. Maybe the blonde chick who wanted to see his grave.
Possible spoilers, highlight to read:
If they continue to follow the Agatha Christie story And Then There Were None (aka Ten Little Indians) then the killer will fake their own death.

Don- Great theory!!! There's only 8 eps left right? I'll stay involved for now.
Nora and everyone. For goodness sake....rent or buy the S1 dvd set for BREAKING BAD!! you can catch S2 now ON DEMAND or on Hulu. Best dang series on TV!!! Riveting and the acting is superb. Don't let the subject matter put you off.....just be amazed at the awesome writing and directing!!

Just a second head's up. I messed up - the show is on at 9PM Eastern on Saturdays.
Or, uh, in about 5 minutes. Hope I didn't mess anyone up. :oops:

I had no idea they moved it till my DVR started taping it :lol: How come with all these missing "friends", NO ONE IS LOOKING FOR THEM????

I DVR'd. Good thing because I passed out at 9 p.m. :shock: Planting flowers all day with all that fresh air!!!! I will watch later today or tomorrow.
Nora- It wouldn't be a mystery if the people involved weren't basically stupid and self-involved :lol: I want to know what happened to all that money. I guess we need to keep a look out for that leather satchel and who has it.

I've missed the last 3 eps. I keep telling myself I will catch up on Hulu but I haven't had the time.
So Nora.....how many dead yet? I bet it's the groom. He WAS on the island during the last killing spree.

I don't even know, lost count. It wasnt even on this week, I was bummed. I like this mess of a show :lol:
I'm so proud of you two!!!! Maybe I'll remember to watch this Saturday. I'm just noit used to watching anything on ABC, NBC, CBS etc on Saturday. It just feels so damn strange!

I'm partial to the gratuitous bikini and bra and panties shots. :D
Oh, and since John Wakefield used to date Abby's mom, who wants to lay odds Wakefield is really her father?

I started this thread and I miss the show now all the time because of the Saturday night time slot. **Hangs head in shame**. What ep are we up to? Please don't tell me that the sweet English dude is dead. Nice call on Wakefield being Abby's father. Once again I will say that I will try to catch up on Hulu.

Ugh Myth, he's the worst and his girlfriend is plain HORRIBLE. No doubt one of them will buy the farm. :lol:

I like English Dude's girlfriend. That bit where she got her engagement ring back was great.

#21 · Jun 8, 2009
I was disappointed in that scene, I thought she was going to just go and beat the crap out of the chick, like try and calmly explain and then kick her ass :lol:

#22 · Jun 8, 2009
Okay....I get a gold star because I remembered to watch :D I did fall asleep during the last 15 minutes though :oops: Did anyone get killed during that time period? I guess the ring discovery happened during my snooze. I swear....it's like I didn't miss anything in 4 weeks.... 8-)

Yeah, JD, the brother, got killed. And *drama* Henry, the groom, was standing over his brother's dying body covered in blood! :shock:

#24 · Jun 9, 2009
If Henry killed him then he truly is a dick. I'm happy bad fat sideburn dick is dead who let his friend die for money, he sucked. I think blonde idiot guy had the right idea with "Fuck Madison, lets get out of here!" that kid has been nothing but trouble from the get go ;)

#25 · Jun 9, 2009
So...JD escapes the jail cell...just to get killed?
I made a guess from the get go here that It is Henry but from what you just said, it's a bit too obvious to be Henry....or may be not. Heeee

I don't think Abby is whatshisnames daughter, I think Henry is his kid. Dunno why but I do.

Ok Madison has to be the DUMBEST kid on the planet and needs to die.
DDon11 posts in this thread
#28 · Jun 21, 2009
Yeah, Madison's a future unwed teenage mother. She can be talked into anything in about 2 seconds.
And I think Jimmy is Wakefield's accomplice/kid. Wakefield is killing people Abby just met but lets her ex-boyfriend live? No way. Jimmy's in on it.

I dunno dude, last week they tried to get us to believe the sheriff was the baddy and that was hoax so I'm thinking the Jimmy thing seems hoaxy to me as well. My husband thinks it's Shane, the "local" with all the hate.
Madison is just a dumbass kid who needs a beating.

I DVR'd and watched the last episode.
Callum Keith Rennie plays Wakefield. I droll over CKR :D What a wonderful surprise for moi :D
Wakefield has to have an accomplice...but who?

Well, if Jimmy is the latest red herring, then I'm going to go with Booth faking his own death again. Or maybe Chloe and Cal. They really haven't said who they are or why they're there. She's just a bridesmaid (no relationship is given) and he's with her. And she was the one who wanted to see Wakefield's grave.

Poor Chloe and Cal :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Only deaths that I actually found sad. :cry:
My other comment is NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SHOOT A DAMN GUN!!! :roll:

NORA WROTE:My other comment is NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SHOOT A DAMN GUN!!! :roll:
Trish was like 5 feet from Wakefield and didn't even bother trying to shoot him. I was sitting there almost yelling, "Shoot him!"
Anyway, I'm glad there's only one night left. They've killed off all the interesting characters.
Since they've killed off all my other suspects, I'm going with it either being Booth who faked his own death or Sully who was acting kind of weird talking about true love and all that last night. Plus Sully kind of looks like Wakefield a little.

#34 · Jun 28, 2009
Sully eh? Good call! I hope it's not Jimmy, I hate obvious shit. This whole show has been nothing but obvious and bad writing. Shameful yet amusing. We were screaming at Trish as well! LOL! My husband was berserk going "SHOOT HIM YOU RETARD!!!"

#35 · Jun 29, 2009
I'm going with Henry, the groom. Funny...his character's name on UGLY BETTY is Henry too. Jimmy is way too obvious now.
I, too, am sad about Chloe and Cal.
I have never shot a gun but I bet I could aim better 8-)
I am loving Callum Keith Rennie as Wakefield :twisted:

Yeah, it really shouldn't be a surprise that the best part of the ending was seeing Abby in her bra again. This was a bad show from start to finish. I wish I could explain why I got so into it, but I can't. It wasn't even so-bad-it's-good. It was just bad.

#38 · Jul 14, 2009
I know! My husband and I said the same thing! LOL!!! Why would Jimmy have had to sign a confession when they had Wakefield? It made NO sense! My god it was just horrible but we could NOT stop watching it! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had to watch the finale on Hulu. I was right about Henry.
This was a really bad and confusing and patched-up and stupid ending :( I guess I must of missed the background with Henry and why he was so willing to kill all those people. That sure did not make sense at all. His friends and his fiancee honestly loved him. Was he just a psychopathic idiotic???? Why the revenge factor?

yeah he was "trying" to explain it but it honestly didnt really make any real sense! The writers were just lazy assholes, shame really. It couldve been really good.
