I find this interesting enough to leave the channel on and have it as "back noise" while I'm on the computer and occasionally glance over. I usually watch after the turn on the lights and then she who stays and who goes.

one guy made the comment to the effect of 'by walking out on the balconey, i am saying i want to have a relationship with her'. i think that changes things. if it's just 'hey i want to get to know you' maybe they would all meet on the balcony, but then alas..where would the drama be???

I think the right thing happened all the way 'round. Chris was younger than Jen chronologicly and he looked it -- more so as the show went on. And with her being in the military, well.... Ultimately like she said -- brother - sister relationship.

Interesting show last night, with all three women preferring the one man. Am I correct that this is the first time that they haven't paired up according to the compatibility match? And who was Chris' compatibility match? (I missed the very beginning.)

If I remember correctly, the girl with the bright red lipstick was his match.

Strange show but fun. My husband came in mid show and was perplexed. LOL

I only caught the last twenty minutes or so and kind of felt badly for the guy. All three girls requested him, but they all rejected him based on looks.

I felt bad for him as well. Didn't they already know he was just 26? Can't they talk about age? Seemed his looks and his age are what did him in. I thought he was adorable!

I thought he was good looking as well. How old were the girls? There can't be that big of an age difference.

I think a couple of the girls were 30. Only 4 year difference didn't seem like a big deal to me!

I read an article about some of the couples in People or US Weekly. Leni is now married to someone else. Allistair and the blonde girl went out a few times but decided to just be friends. She has gone to see him DJ. Megan and Matt went out as well but then he said something cryptic about having issues with her. Makes me wonder if her weight became an issue with him again.

Good one. All outcomes not as I expected. I was getting worried about Cormac and Kelly -- but she did come through the patio door.

Some of these women are more shallow than the men. Too short, too affectionate. Each week there is a cutie guy waiting for a woman who walks out. What is with that stupid luggage anyway. They stole that from the Apprentice. You would think they had to marry them, instead of just opening a door! Would a date kill them. But, I guess if they all came through the door, there would be no suspense.

Ditto to everything Rslover said, especially "would a date kill them?" Seriously!

I think if it was me, I would make sure at least I went out on the deck to meet them so I didn't look like a total nob! One date isn't going to hurt geesssshhhh!

Simple. Fast moving. Low production costs for the network. It's one of my favorite reality shows other than the top three or four. (I don't have cable.)

ITA - I really dont understand why they dont at least go out there and "try" a date - what a strange person that wouldnt even go to the "reveal" - she left before seeing what he looked like (and vice versa) THERE has to be an incentive to create drama - otherwise what's the downside of just meeting with the person?

just doesnt add up to me!

I agree Reader. Just because you don't feel there is a future with the person, doesn't mean you are leading them on by going on one date. It really seems strange to me that they don't just go out at least once...or at least to the reveal.

Makes it more interesting (not going for the reveal) and it was pretty clear there was absolutely NO chemistry. There is tons of dialogue we don't hear - and she knew she was older and he was less experienced in the dating department - she didn't want to lead him on (which is awesome of her).
I was surprised by the second couple, he KNEW she was zoftig (felt her well enough with the hugs and stuff) but she was the one who left? What did she think about him that we didn't hear/see? Makes you wonder if the topic of religion did come up in the dark (else why bring it up during his introduction)?

I was surprised too that the second couple didn't meet. I can't believe her comments about his receding hairline and the fact that he wore a scarf were what prompted her decision to leave. Maybe she thought he wouldn't show up for her because she was curvy and decided to beat him to the punch?

I think that the girl that was going to meet Malek when she saw him thought he was old. She mentioned his hair line and she was turned off by the scarf. THis show is proving that looks definitely matter, which is unfortunate.

I don't think there was anything but that the curvy girl didn't like the way he looked, including his wardrobe. IMO, very shallow. She was all giggly and happy with him prior the the reveal.

i loved the premise of this show. However, i was really disappointed in how low the budget was.

Most of the men and half the women didnt seem to fashion or commonsense as to their hairstyle. THis could be a great show with a simple makeup/ hairstyle makeover and please God let someone help those guys with their clothes.

I cant remember names but it was a shortish chubby italian looking guy who looked like he rolled out of bed in the clothes he Chose for the reveal. That alone would have turned me right off.

Some of the girls were cute but again, Needed a proper hairstyle to suit their faces.

i would love it if wannabees were banned from the show. My gaydar was screaming when cute curlyhaired guy ended up with Nerdylooking hippy dippy curyhaired glasses girl.

he had a british accent and spent most of the 'date' spewing all his damaged psyche dirty laundry. it seemed so fake I was sure he was playing a part.

a guy that slim and goodlooking who DJs for a living is NOT going to have a tough time finding women.
