Quotes
Charo: [the cast has just learned they will be assisting parapsychologist Dr. Larry Montz in determining if an abandoned mental hospital is haunted] People alive don't understand me. How in the world a ghost is going to understand me?
Dr. Larry Montz: Because they communicate more telepathically than verbally, so they're not going to be worried about your accent.
Charo: Oh.
[Laughs nervously]

Morality flushed down the toilet

It's funny to watch D-list celebrities live in a house together. Gives my life purpose. It was really funny watching MC hammer and all the crappy celebrities. This ranks right with Celebrity Boxing and the Celebrity Mole. I wonder what other punish tv has in store for our has-been elite.
