Without any inside information, and before the 5th episode, I went on the record and predicted that the real boss would be a monkey. It was the only thing that made sense. Firing people for random non logical reasons, only a monkey would do that.

The show was funny at moments, but overall it was just plain bad. For those who want to watch a good parody of Reality TV, watch\rent The Joe Schmoe Show on DVD; that show was funny and well written.

"The Joe Schmo Show" (original) was awesome! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377024

No kidding. We have been saying this for freaking AGES. NO wonder Fox pulled the episodes off tv. If the audience can anticipate the lame joke no wonder the ratings were so low.

Now let's pour some dirt on top of this rotting pile of crap and forget about it.

The finale was very anti-climatic. Lack of surprises.

Actually, it wasn't a monkey but an APE. A chimpanzee dressed up in a suit and spinning a wheel with the contestant's names on it, so the selections for dismissal were entirely random. At least each of the last two contestants received a cash prize. N. Paul Todd revealed that he, his "family" and the Iocor "employees" were all actors. George was pretty upset. Then William August took them to meet the "boss." The "boss" spun the wheel and Annette won the big prize. Annette received $350,000 and George received $200,000.

Somehow I knew these stupid people meant it was a chimp but since they're stupid they called it a monkey. I hate stupid people. I even gave them the benefit of not accusing them outright of being stupid by asking "was it a monkey or an ape, most likely a chimp?" but instead asking what kind of monkey, so that someone could tell me specifically, and you did, and you proved me right, and proved them stupid. Thank you.

Stupid people very often say monkey when it's not a monkey, and it's usually a chimp. Since I know a lot of people are stupid, I also knew they should have said chimp. So there.

Too bad those contestants actually won some money in the end. They didn't deserve it.

Just watched the last show on YouTube. The runner-up was named Mike, not George.

The selections for dismissal weren't entirely random. N. Paul Todd mentions that everyone eliminated was on a losing team and nominated for elimination by a teammate. And all of the challenges had legitimate, actual results. So to win the game, Annette needed to win lots of challenges, not be nominated by her teammates when she lost, *and* have a little bit of luck along the way. So it wasn't entirely random, which I liked.

By the way, I just saw this show in Fox Reality Channel, and I thought it was very funny. The way the producers kept messing with the contestants, especially in the last episode, was hilarious.
