Better than the previous Hollis written episode but not by much
movieman_kev16 July 2012
Femme Fatales starts its second season almost as poorly as it did its first, with this Richard Hollis-penned episode (who also wrote the awful 'Til Death do we Part' from Season 1) In this, seven stereotypical Big Brother-type contestants backstabbing each other while a murder picks them off one by one.

Their are a number of things wrong with this episode, arguably the worst is that the story isn't that interesting, and the soft-core sex scenes are all front loaded, so once they're out of the way in the beginning, all we have left is the lackluster story. However, the acting is serviceable enough to grant this as more watchable than Hollis's previous attempt.

My Grade: D+

Ps: it took my out of the show that there wasn't a gay character on the reality show, California law requires there to be one.

Eye Candy: Tiffany Tynes gets fully nude; Scheana Marie & Gigi Feshold show T&A

One of the worst episodes

Warning: Spoilers
It's been a few months since I watched the first season of "Femme Fatales", and I've only seen three episodes (including this one) from the second season so far, but I cannot think, offhand, of a worse episode than "16 Minutes Of Fame" ("Bad Medicine", maybe?). I realize that it's supposed to be an exaggerated satire of "Big Brother"-type shows and the ultra-vain personalities of the people who sign up for them, but the characters here are insufferable - even 30 minutes in their company are too many. The in-your-face sex scenes are not at all erotic, either. There is one admittedly clever plot twist....until you realize it is 100% stolen from Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". *1/2 out of 4.
