[quote name=\'irismason42\' date=\'Mar 15 2006, 11:11 PM\']I already know there were 180 episodes produced in Season 1 but how many episodes did it take until we start seeing civilian contestants introduce themselves? and how many on the road trips that were shot during the Syndie version?

The civilians introduced themselves from pretty much the beginning of the run IIRC. I don't recall the hosts introducing the contestants other than saying "(first name), tell me about yourself" or words to that effect.
