Friend or Foe game show intro

I was on this horrible show in 2002, and just watching the intro reminds me of a few things of note .. the canned audience, the window-less "pods", the horrible "tell us something bad or scandalous about yourself" interview question twisted into a brief 5 second intro from Kennedy to make the contestants sound like they have an unscrupulous side :p, and finally, the good old "Hometown:" in the little on-screen biographies.

On the questionnaire, they ask for the city you were born in -- I thought this was for some other official reason (social security/money-winning-related), but it turns out they use your answer to put on the screen as your "Hometown" because 99% of people that appear on GSN shows live in southern California, so they want people to think they have a great cross-section of folks from around the country when in actuality it's all Cali folk! Yet in my case, since I live in Texas, that didn't apply -- they put my birth city on the screen (I'm the 2nd one they show, from "Staten Island" apparently) :D, even though I only lived there until the age of 3. Not a big deal to me, I just found it funny when that aired.




My "partner" turned out to be the niece of Kenny Loggins, which I did not find out until I returned home from taping.

Upon introducing each team, Kennedy is made to present a short anecdote about how the contestant did something scandalous or untrustworthy in their lives -- and as you can see by the last guy ("he cut his roommate's phone line" .. scandalous!) they really had to reach.. Well, in my case, the story about stealing from the Roulette table is not entirely true. I attended UNLV in '93 and my friend and I devised a silly plan to distract the dealer and move a chip on the layout when the ball settled. We tried this only one time ever and succeed and we did not get busted. The producers thought it would somehow sound better if they said I got busted. Doesn't matter.. it's all silly poop. But that thar Hollywood's some smoke n' mirrors I tell ya!

Anyway, the only merit of the show was its theme .. which is featured near the end of the clip :p

This was the absolute worst show ever. I would have brought a wad of $100s, told my partner right on the spot that I was going foe and would give them their half immediately after they went friend. 99% of the time you get placed with someone is going to fuck you either way, so that is the only way that I can think of to beat the system.

@BiggyBollocks On the flight out there, all I could think about was how they were going to pair me up w/ some asshole that was going to Foe me, so I didn't have a choice but to Foe as well, since the outcome is out of your hands anyway. The problem with your noble proposal, however, is that the show took great pains to keep the contestants separate the moment taping was over (even escorted you to separate parking lots), and would not even so much as use the contestant's last names.

Is it possible to upload your entire episode? If so, that'll be great!

[lobstertexas]

Another thing I've noticed about Kennedy from watching your video and other videos... is that she is horrible at hiding the fact she reads from a teleprompter

[GoBookEmDanO]

Question: When comes up on the screen to "send" you to the trust box, could you see her? It looks badly green-screened...

Also, the backround around Kennedy... that there too?

[littlebirdonthehouse]

her elephant t-shirt is so unbelievably nerdy, I can't believe she went on tv with that
