Yeah go ahead
What were some of the weirdest things they were allowed to do? Could they just go into your bedroom at night and film you while you were sleeping? Did they have camera's in your bedrooms?
Were you given some "off camera" time where you could just do whatever you want without having to worry about being filmed or did someone follow you all the time?
How scripted was it? Were they telling you to do specific things and say specific things or did they just follow you around with the cameras?

No, they were not allowed in our rooms at all technically without our permission, and it was not big brother/real world style at all.
Lots of off camera time, probably only 80 hours a week of filming :-\

Production had a lot to do with planning and setting things up but there was never any script or lines we were meant to say. Sometimes a scene was "planned," ie we went to the super mercado because production told us they wanted a scene of us shopping, but once we got there we did whatever we wanted.
What was the biggest thing you guys wanted to make the final cut that got edited out and wasn't broadcast?

God I rallied so hard to include Dani's $40k NL WSOP finish in the first episode, but moronic TV ppl thought they knew better
as far as scenes, wow... we played trampoline dodgeball w a buncha girls, which would have made for some epic slow-mo action sequences
a lot of funny stuff got cut out of brian's standup act - he had a bit about hating elevator culture that was amazing
tug of war with striker and novak (the russian bodyguard) over the pool in the backyard at the last party
jonas on tilt, man, he got robbed of some great degen lines
AGHHHH NOSTALGIA

Basically what Dani said. A lot of things that we'd normally do in Vegas during a typical summer like going out to a nice restaurant or nightclub or shopping, they would obviously need clearance from the venue to film there so there were specific times we'd have to do it. Terrible grammar.
Did you ever really hated the cameras? Like after a bad session you see cameras rolling and just want to smash them?

Definitely. There's actually a great scene of them getting shots of Jay and I after a disastrous session. Those were real expressions.
Do you think the cameras got you more women or less?
If more, was it the kind of women you really wanted to be attracting?
Were you ever furious with the way a scene was misconstrued via clever editing?
On the flip side, did you ever think "Damn, they made me look awesome there!"

More, how could it be less?
Regarding your 2nd question, LOL what kind of a girl do you want to be attracting in Vegas? I have the rest of the year to meet girls in a library, in vegas I'll take camera whores all day.
If you could do one thing differently, what would it be?
(bleh, stupid question but I want a pro to answer one of my forum posts. *blush*)
