I'm glad it ended okay for everyone. It was rather surprising to see Steve walk in and I was surprised they actually showed Cheryl. I was beginning to wonder why she was even there!

<76> Whatever his name is, the one who wasn't a jock or a hunk in high school, but is one now, kind of dumped that girl. Right? I didn't hear exactly what he said to her though. But I'm disappointed that she was hurt.

What I heard was him say was that he was not as involved with her as she appeared to be with him. I think he was enjoying having the "hot" girl from school falling all over him, I didn't like how he drug on the asking her to the prom either. I also think she was going way to fast as well.

I think she was moving a bit fast too. What would he be, husband number 4 or 5? I think he was enjoying finally being "popular" with the hot girl but he didn't look beyond that.

Brenda - <76> I didn't like the way he handled himself I think he kinda led her on the whole time they were there - yes, she was being pushy BUT he didn't have to go on the "overnight" hall pass if he wasn't interested. Anyone else think the jock looked like Lorenzo Lamas?

Loved this show and I am going to miss these people, haha. I thought it was great to get to watch a show and see all the interaction and not have to worry about someone being kicked off each week. Hope they do more of these. I felt bad for Deanna cuz I think she really felt something for Justin? is that his name and I don't think he should have done the overnight thing if he felt that way or he should have told her then. I agree about Cheryl, I too kept wondering why she was there and glad they finally showed her.

I think that that girl came at him with a marry me now, or never sort of attitude. If she hadn't hung around wearing a mental wedding dress and veil (like Joan Cusack in In and Out. "Anybody want to get married? I've GOT the dress!"), she might have had a chance. At least he might have offered to continue things once they left the island.

Great catch up videos on www.tvland.com They answer questions and they are at their actual reunion after the Maui trip. Great for getting an update. I watched about 5 videos I think.

I have to say I'm rather relieved this show is over. TV Land is one of two channels Mom leaves the TV on if we aren't watching the DVR. I swear, if this show wasn't on ALL THE TIME, it was being advertised ALL THE TIME. I was getting really sick of it. Not to mention, every time I watched/deleted an episode, I'd get up the next morning and there it was on my DVR again! There certainly wasn't any chance of someone missing an episode!

I liked it, but I agree it is on all the time. I actually was kinda disappointed that TVLand jumped on the reality show band wagon. I remember when: Discovery was science / nature A/E - was actually artsy & entertainment Bravo - brought great class performances to watch. TV Land - had old 1950's shows etc... MTV & VH1 - actually played music videos CNN etc - were 24 hour hardcore news channels TWC - showed weather CMT - played country music videos AMC - Showed OLD movies TMC - Showed OLD movies I guess I am just tired of reality shows. I wish they would bring back Carol Burnett Show...

Terolyn, you must be as old as me! I remember those things, too! I really did enjoy this show, though. I kept imagining my HS friends and I in Hawaii like that. How fun would that be? My 35 year reunion is this summer (told you I was old!), and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. Those four years in HS really do affect the rest of your life. I'll never forget those folks who were with me when we were all trying to figure it out.

I also enjoyed this show. I thought the finale was cute, being a prom. I thought the 'stud' going with the blond girl was a little awkward though. The finale made it seem like the guy whose wife died and the girl with long blond hair were getting serious. However, I watched the after shows on tvland.com and it sounds like the are done. I would love to see these people do another show in a year to find out how everyone is doing. They seemed like real people. As close to a reality show as the old Real World used to be (sigh...) - real people who are followed around by cameras.

I went and watched the online clips about the real reunion (In Texas) that was months after this show was filmed. I was stunned to hear that the widowed guy was engaged to some gal in California and was getting ready to move her stuff from California to Texas. Seems he moved on pretty fast. I wonder if he met her online since she lives in another state. I too would like to know what happens to everyone in the future. But I'm sure we'll never know.

Wasn't this filmed last year? It's not as fast as it seems.

here's an update since the last show: Glenn Pena. From high school geek to blogger stud. As a member of the High School Reunion cast, get his personal perspective on the ins, outs, ups, downs and sideways looks at each episode. For his take on what you didn't get to see, check in each week after the show. Well, it all comes to an end this week. Let’s talk first about the final episode – lots to talk about so yet another LONG blog entry. On the last official day we were in the house we went to the beach (FINALLY!). We got to spend much of the day there, snorkeling, playing football and cutting up. It was interesting watching people on the beach staring at us with all the cameras around – it was our first taste of “celebrity”, it was a really odd feeling, and really it hasn’t been like that since, except maybe at the premier party for the show. The “prom” was cool overall but kind of strange since we’re all adults. I had the feeling that I’ve been there done that but it was fun. First, it was interesting to see people in the house asking each other to go to the prom… There was a strange pressure to get a “date”. Kat agreed to go with Jason and I, I had fun asking her because really I was kind of making fun of the whole situation we were placed in. Robbie kept saying he wanted to ask Cheryl all day – he was kind of nervous about it because he thought she might say no. The morning of the day of prom, all the guys went together to fit our tuxedos. It was about 120 degrees in the little shop where we went to get the tuxedos, apparently their A/C was broken. It is uncomfortable enough trying on a tuxedo WITH air conditioning. There are some photos of us in our tuxes in the shop and you can see the sweat… Also, Mike’s tuxedo was like 5 sizes too large – the effect was that he looked like a little kid in his dad’s tux! We all had a good laugh about that except Mike, he was kind of pissed because they didn’t have a full replacement in his size, and that meant a lot of safety pins... :-) So we went to the prom, and we all had a great time! But by like 10:30pm it was all over, time to go back to the house, and we were all disappointed about that – it was fun but it was still like an old person’s prom if you ask me. Also, Steve’s arrival was just plain strange. I wondered back when he left why his last words to us all were “I’ll see all of you later”, because I was pretty sure I’d never see him again. I guess he knew something we didn’t at the time. I’m just glad we could all get over that to still have fun. Funniest uncomfortable moment of the episode – Rob saying “I almost kicked your @#$”… Last but not least, let me give you a rundown on everyone and what has happened since the reunion – it’s been a long time since we taped the show. The main group that finished the show together still talks regularly via email and phone, and we also hang out from time to time – for example, I had Mike, Heather, Sean and Justin over a couple of weeks ago to watch the show on Wednesday. Kat is still living in Hollywood continuing her career as a voiceover artist. She will appear in the upcoming movie Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, starring Ben Stiller. She is currently single. Mike and Heather are a serious couple now known by the group as “Mike and Heather”. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are married someday soon. Matt and Yvette did not work out after all. Yvette went home to her boyfriend and worked things out with him, and Matt seemed to benefit from his experience in Hawaii emotionally in dealing with his wife’s tragic death. Not long after we all came home, Matt got together with a very nice girl, they are in a serious committed relationship now. Justin and DeAnna remain friends, we’ve all hung out together several times. The interesting turn of events is that DeAnna is now in a serious relationship with Robbie. Rob and DeAnna are kindred spirits and they are really in love. As a matter of fact, they are on a cruise together with DeAnna’s parents as I write this. Rob is still working as an artist in Dallas. Cheryl went back home to Austin, and we all miss her. She has a serious boyfriend there and is busy with her work as a flight attendant. Sean and Kirstin are still together, serious and as far as I know, still going to get married someday. Sean is doing well as always, and Kirstin continues her successful career in real estate. Jason and I remain friends to this day. We are both busy but we text each other sometimes during the day or send email to one another. Something else you don’t know about our experience in Hawaii is that Jason had the show fly out his family to Hawaii and introduced me to his wife and kids. Not only that but he also sat down with me, his wife and two boys and explained to his boys what he’d done in school and that he regretted his behavior, then he apologized to me in front of his family. He really went over and above to do that, and I was blown away by that. Lana never did marry the man she said she was engaged to while in Hawaii. I don’t have much more information than that since I haven’t kept in touch with her. I don’t know what’s become of Steve, but I think he still lives somewhere in California. Thanks for reading the blog, this is my last entry for the show. It’s been fun interacting with you guys on the message boards and writing these each week. If you’re interested and like my writing, look me up on myspace where I’ll keep you guys up to date on any future projects I will be working on. I’ve had so much fun here I’ll definitely be online doing something you guys will want to see soon. Bye for now!

Wow! Rob and Deanna?! I didn't see that coming. I'm glad that it has seemed to work out for all of them.

Wow Lotsofkids! Great info finding Glenn's blog. It really moved me to hear what Jason did. I wish they would have shared that during the show. I too am surprized about Rob and Deanna - would not have guessed that from what we saw on the show. I don't know exactly why this group of people really intrigued me! I love hearing more about what has happened to them since the show. I did read on TVLand they are planning another HSreunion show next season. Yay!

Rob was the sports guy/jock and Deanna was the popular girl.
