I liked this guy until I see his hero is George W. Bush. So we have someone who loves him and someone (Karen) who hates him, this should be interesting. He is the oldest in the house at 41 but seems to me as he will fill the father roll in the house. He looks a little like Matt Rodgers from AI3 to me.

The Rush Limbaugh part really got me!

For some reason, nothing to do with politics, this guy is kinda rubbing me the wrong way. He could make for good TV though.

I had the EXACT same thought!

I usually like the older person on the show, but, oh dear Dubya and Rush?

Fanatic277 · 06-30-2004, 02:35 PM

He seems a bit smarmy to me, at least he's honest as to why he's on the show though! I can't say I like him that much.

**Amanda** · 06-30-2004, 02:38 PM

I find it odd that Rush Limbaugh is one of his personal heroes, yet he lists Will & Grace as one of his favorite shows. Just seems incongruous.

Ice tea with Realemon lemon juice

I think he was answering his "what's your favorite non-alcoholic drink" here instead of an actual comfort item. Who the hell lists "iced tea" as a comfort item???

He likes the Pistons and the Lakers - sounds like last month was a can't lose situation for him.

41 year old single dad mixed in with younger predominantly folks, let's see if they perceive him as "dad" or as just a little bit older guy.
