I liked it. Alister's comment why he wore a shirt and tie when he was revealed to Melanie, "I call it polishing a turd." LOL

I checked it out and thought it was ok. I was glad Allister stayed. I didn't think he would.

Ditto re Allister. I liked the fact it was a self-contained episode, so I am not tied down to watching it every week. Can use it for a break like I did tonight.

I love this idea! I have never watched The Bachelor or Bachelorette because I never liked the premise from the beginning but I think this one could be good.

Aww, it's getting near the end now and this is hard to watch. These people connected so well when they weren't preoccupied with the physical. Two of the woman were harsh I felt as was Jude Law - excuse me, Alistair. I thought the 3 couples were put together well at the end and I'm glad Leni gave Steven a chance. Hopefully he give hers room to breath. Wow ~ Seth was the BEST catch of the 3 in my eyes. Christina's loss. I thought for sure that Alistair would leave but he went to the balcony. Good for you, guy. Melanie's an original. Yep, I'll watch it again!

I thought Seth was cute and had gorgeous hair and eyes. She really should have given him another look in the light of day. Wonder if she was coached to leave so we would have drama? I guess they will be mining this show for the next Bachelor.

Kappy, Alister was hard on himself primarily because of his childhood, then lack of self-confidence. Seems he generally doesn't think much of himself so he hasn't done much dating.

I didn't think I would survive the whole show, but I watched to the end! Did anyone else think that the Alister looked better in the light and it didn't bring out the best in the other guys? I also thought Melanie was cuter than she appeared there. First impressions just aren't a great barometer for most of us. That snap in time/lighting just may not capture the things that make someone really attractive. Thought it was mildly entertaining last night, but the previews didn't put it on my "must see" list for next week.

It was ok. I won't make a point to watch it. LOL Kappy! I also thought Alister looked like Jude Law! I thought Seth looked a bit like Tim Russert. (rip...I'm still very sad about his passing.) Yes, I agree with your post. I like the snap in time lighting and that they weren't allowed to talk. But I didn't like that they then meet or walk away. I think they should then spend more time together and then decide if they want to pursue a romance.

I enjoyed last nights show and will set it up on my PVR. I too was surprised she didn't meet Seth.

I wasn't even going to watch this show, but decided to try it. I thought it wasn't too bad. Something a little different for the summer break I guess. I do like how it will be self-contained episodes as well. However, wish they'd give an update down the road sometime as to whether any of the couples that decided to "meet" face-to-face have met with any success and are continuing to date.

I also would have appreciated a dating update! Maybe they will give it to us later in the season? Anyone know how many episodes?

That's what I was thinking Beth. Maybe they'll have an update on the last episode of the series or something. Not sure how many episodes there are.

There are 6 episodes. I thought Allister was adorable and Christina was a stuck up. She was attractive but not gorgeous. Seth needed a hair cut and looked a little sloppy but he wasn't bad enough for her to just walk away.

I was going to avoid this show based on the stupid commercials. But I might try it after reading what you all have to say about it.

It was fun again tonight, and interesting that the one man who didn't meet the one woman based it on her being deeply religious and not on her looks.

I liked tonight, too. I really appreciated that Matt (I think that's the one) did not meet the girl who was religious. I think it showed a lot of respect for her belief system, since he didn't share it and he knew it was important to her. I was surprised but glad that the last guy met the girl on the balcony. I thought it seemed they had great chemistry.

I love this show. Better than many other realities. So I'm looking at the physical. Megan (last girl on the balcony), stand with your legs together. Change your hair style.

Last night all the girls that the guys were great after they saw them, but every guy questioned something about the girls. So much like real life! I enjoyed last night's show. Thought Chrystee was a beautiful girl.

I would like to see a follow up of the couples before this show is gone.

Cablejockey, me too. It was the first time I watched and I thought for sure there would be credits at the end like....John and Jane dated 2 more times and went their separate ways. I was also thinking that since this is TV and I bet most of the contestants are looking to get screen time, why wouldn't everyone step through the balcony door...hmm Not a bad show. Any ideas on how many episodes there will be-13?

I'm just not liking this show as much as I had hoped. It is going to get old and boring quickly if they do the same thing every week. I wish they'd all just meet the other on the balcony. It's not like they can't go have one meal together. I don't agree with the guy that said if he met her on the balcony that would signal to her that he was ready for a relationship. This is not the Bachelor where supposedly they are trying to find a life mate. There is no harm in going to the balcony. Yet, there'd be even less excitement in the show if they all did go to the balcony. The one girl really had bad hair. I wish for her she had done something different with it than pull it all up on top of her head and then together in the back. She was insecure, so, I'm glad the guy went to the balcony.
