I don't watch bachelor / bachelorette shows, but I like this one. Happy that it's back this summer. Different scenario tonight than any last year.

Cool! So glad to see someone started a thread for this show. I enjoyed it last season and glad ABC brought it back. I'm on the west coast so haven't see the episode yet. Looking forward to it.

was NJ guy the one who said he grabbed their wrists when shaking their hand to see/feel if the women were "thick" (fat) and his first date he determined from the first "hug" she was hiding how fat she was?? (and she of course wasnt ) I had to turn it off after that...

Reader...yup...that would be the guy. I couldn't believe how he kept saying over and over,"She blew up like a tick!" I'm glad the PR guy choose the first girl, they really seemed to connect right off the bat. I liked the other couple but I have a feeling the woman (brunette) will sabatoge their relationship. I mean come on, an earring as a deal breaker?!!

Wow! Smoking hot blah blah blah. What a conceited cow. If she's so smokin' hot what is she doing on this show?!?!?! Has she not seen her ears? And lack of top lip?

She left because she didn't want to lose to the blonde girl not because she was out of his league. GMAB. Why was she even on this show if nobody's good enough for her spinster ass?

I love this show!! So glad Christian and Karoline connected!! How cool that she was so into him. ((-: He seemed so surprised that she was waiting for him, and even more surprised that she was worried he might not show up. Heartwarming! So, so, so glad Michael chose Becky!! She seemed sweet. I'm not so sure about him... he seems shallow and I'm betting their journey out into the light is short-lived. That said, I'm just glad he didn't choose Summer!! Summer... what a shallow, delusional creature. International supermodel? Sure, right. She went in there so her looks wouldn't be an issue, then she brings up her looks when she thinks it benefits her. She was pretty and sexy, but not all that. Girl needs to get over herself!

From the Dating in the Dark website on ABC.com -- Couples Update Ever want to know what happened after the show finished? Check back each week for updates on the couples that met in the dark! Jessica
David
After meeting in Episode 201, though Jessica and David have not continued to date, the two found their time together in the Dark Room as "Life-changing." Kym
Storm
Kym and Storm who also met in Episode 201, remain in touch through text and Facebook. Though the two are not currently dating each other, they both loved the experiment and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I watched the show for the first time last night. I think I might like it. If Michael had chosen Summer, I would have been upset. Summer must have realized she was going to be left standing in the piano room. It seems like a strange way to meet someone. Have there really been over 200 episodes!

Last night was only second episode this year. It was a summer show last year also. About 6 - 8 episodes then. I like it. I don't watch bachelor / bachelorette programs. Can't stand 'em. Tried Bachelor Pad last night. No thanks. This dating show I enjoy.

I am glad Summer wasn't chosen, too! Geeesh, what an inflated ego. Anyone in here watch True Beauty last year? I saw in the previews for this show for next week, a guy who was on True Beauty. He's the one they said was a Chippendale dancer. I just looked it up and his name is Billy Jeffrey and he was a Vitamin Store Owner from Lewiston, ID and came in 3rd Place on last season's True Beauty (the 1st season). Why do some of these reality people go from show to show?

You're welcome, Dogdoc. I forget these people, too. I just knew his face was so familiar last night, so had to figure it out. Mame-- LOL! Either that or it's a melon festival.

Mame's---lol I agree with Alliet and Jezz about this past episode. Was it just me or did Summer's nostrils look a bit odd? Nobody has mentioned Joshua. I couldn't believe how pushy he became with the advances to the salsa dancer. Back when I was dating I couldn't stand guys who came on so strong initially. He was handsome but it seemed he couldn't hold back and did what he usually does when dating which is why he doesn't find anything long term. Weren't those sketches amazing? I wouldn't have a clue what the guys look like enough; mine would only be generic but they sure got them right! I liked the updates; I am surprised Jessica and David didn't continue dating. Not surprised about Kym and Storm. Is there an update on last nights episode? One last thing, that radio guy at the end was sooooo insecure, I almost didn't think he would go meet her. His insecurities sure came out at the end. I think if they ever have one disagreement he will chicken out.

P.S. Ya, I watched "True Beauty" and totally recognized Billy last night. Back in my 20's I actually saw the Chipendale's in Vancouver and Billy was part of the tour.

Oh, I found the other updates: Becky Michael Becky and Michael from Episode 204 have become very close friends. They talk 3-5 times a week. Although they do not consider themselves an "official" couple, both Becky and Michael would have never met if it wasn't for this experiment. Karolina (salsa dancer) Christian (radio dj) From the same episode, Karolina and Christian still keep in touch via Facebook. They both loved the experiment and said that it has "opened their eyes" to new adventures. Looks as though nobody has continued dating.

I wish there was an update on last season's couples. In episode one last season there was a couple Melanie and Allister. He was a very stylish British guy and she was cute and earthy. I loved that he picked her in the end and they moved into the daylight. I always wondered whether they continued dating or if the light of day killed it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who digs this show! I found it intriguing from minute one and am still mystified by the fact that it's more often than not the girls who reject the guys after the reveal. Re, Joshua from last night... Mizin, I think I blocked him from my consciousness, LOL! I agree he came on way too strong. Like you, I don't appreciate when men come out of the gate making it all about sex and that's exactly what Joshua did. I found his behavior fairly repulsive and I was relieved when nobody picked him. So, I just found a one line post on Yahoo! Answers about Melanie and Allister from last season. No they are no longer dating but are still friends with Melanie going to see him DJ occassionally. Source(s): Friend of Allister It may be that this show succeeds more at helping people find friendship rather than love. It seems like a number of the pairs are still "friends" but none seem to still be dating... so far.

Just finished watching tonights episode. -Jonny I didn't like his vibe even later. He just rubbed me the wrong way. Too controlling imo. He was sweet at the very end saying how beautiful she was. Billy-Seems like a really nice guy but I thought Chelsea would have been the better match for him. ??--Already forgot the virgins name. I think he made a wise decision but really I think he knew that already before seeing her. I think he unnecessarily hurt her feelings by changing his mind once seeing her. Overall I don't think Jonny or Billy will date these women more than once. I think Jonny has a better chance than Billy. With Billy's lifestyle she may not have the confidence to date a Chippendale. P.S. I thought that one woman, think she was the hairdressers car was hilarious; 5 ice scrapers, so many duplicates and just disorganized. I loved it! lol

I want to check this show out, sounds like fun, but keep forgetting about it. And not sure when it's on here.
