I was wondering about that scene too Realfan. I think they were showing it as previews during the airing of the first and second shows (they used it a few times). Except I thought the hair was more curly, like Petra's. I remember the preview scene had her storming out of a room, whirling around and looking back in the room screaming "I hate you!" It seemed like they were previewing an upcoming cat-fight between some of the women.

Spoiledduchess and Danzdol, add me to the small list of someone who likes Cat. I was thinking Petra should get off her high horse telling Cat how to live and breathe. Then she continues her tirade on Cat's bed ... I thought, Cat, why don't you just tell her to "go beep yourself."

I'm guessing at the end Huricane comes through the doorway and they give the horse a one-way airplane ticket to Texas with David.

Realfan...I've waited all season for the girl with "Cat-like hair" to make her scene. I remember she was yelling about hating him!

I was beginning to think I imagined it. Maybe Cat is told about the money and freaks out or she isn't picked and freaks out? Either way should be entertaining!

I really do not think there is enough time for David to re-establish a relationship with Linda so I'm guessing Cat will be picked.

I'm in the I-Like-Cat Club also. Honestly in the first episode, I picked Linda & Cat as my favorites. (Just my opinion), but Cat is georgous. I don't think she was trying to be rude with the lack of conversation with Anique & Petra, but rather not wanting to make silly small talk with people who obviously don't like her.

When did the scene where a girl asks David not to kiss Cat happen? I must have missed it but saw it in the previews.

Also, I have been thinking of the teaser preview they gave. Right after they say "it's not what you think" they show him waiting for someone that doesnt show up. So we all think , someone is not showing. My guess is that someone does show but maybe to tell him off or that the prize is different.

Also, I liked when last year they showed the reaction of the girls that were sent home. They were in shock. Only then will they be happy if Cat is the chosen one. I wonder if they will do it htis year. Olinda is going to probably be the meanest one of all.

I can't remember the show with Evan. All these Bach type shows are melding in my mind.

So next week they are told he is not rich and the one he chooses says, yes I would like to continue to get to know you or walks away? Hardly much drama there.

Was there more to it with Evan and Zora? Was she offered money if she said no? Seems I remember that but I could be way off. She had a sick aunt in lower Slabovia or something and needed money to help her but chose Evan instead?

Someone with a better mind, help me out here.

Who knows if they have the same ending this time but I would still like to have my memory jogged.

I think he told her and then said that she did not have to answer him there. To think about it and if she still wanted to pursue the relationship to meet him at night.

I don't think they offered Zora money to walk away.

Instead when she arrived they danced and then Paul came out with 2 500,000.00 checks. Although that does not make them millionares I think Paul said "I am about to make you, instant, millionares". He brought the checks out on a tray covered with a lid.

Is that right?Anyone else remember more details?

I think you got it right Danzdol. I still think Zora was probably thinking it was all a trick and that what does she have to lose by showing up. To me it was quite obvious that she wasn't really into him.

Danzdol...to funny about the Hurricane ending. Neither girl wants to be with him, so they send Hurricane through the door...I am cracking up!

I thought it was Anique asking him not to kiss Cat in the preview, but never saw any scene in the show like that.

I like Linda and Cat, but think Linda is so naive thinking that he wouldn't try to connect with someone else. I mean did they ever even have a solo date...just a horseback ride to my memory. She's acting like they were an item or something.

Cat doesn't shut her mouth around Linda cause she is threatened by her. Linda and David had an obvious connection (before she left). Cat hardly shared her dates with the other girls, but takes a bit of pleasure in telling Linda all about it...trying to make Linda bolt again.

I think the producers handed Linda a whole load of horse manure.

She's acting like David has been heartbroken since she left...How dare he kiss someone else? LOL...where is she getting this from? She's got limited time here and she won't kiss him? Good grief...not the time to be playing hard to get.

This show just wasnt doing it for me. The only "real" behaviour was when the girls ganged up on the obvious favourite Linda. She waffled and asked to leave....David was upset.
**
So why bring her back NOW!!?? When there are only two girls left?? This seems so contrived and 'set up' that it is worse than Joe Millionaire the first. At least then it was obviously between two girls all along (or so it seemed to me).
**
Somehow I cannot imagine the Czech fashion model passing up a chance at becoming a US citizen so she can work in North America freely. If anything, these girls will LAUGH at the final joke of David not having money. After all, this whole premise has been questionable to most of them.
David, himself, is a little bit of a yokel. This is embarrassing to most Europeans and there is NO WAY that any of them believe he is from a family with money. I am horrified each time he answers his BUTLER!!!! with YES SIR!! This show is truly painful to watch. But I love Europe and watch most shows that show beautiful scenery.

Hysterical! I have only watched a few times and have not heard him say, yes sir, to the Butler!

Oh that is just too good to be true.

I watch this show each week and have noticed that David "yes, sirs" Paul each episode, more than once. I'm not sure that I remember that he does that in front of the girls but do recall him when him and Paul are alone.

Speaking of Zora, I just went to get my mail and in it was this catalogue with Zora on the cover. I don't know if you can see it clearly but I swear it's her!!!!!!!!

It's a Harriet Carter catalogue. I guess she is into modeling now.

I wonder if those of us who regularly watch reality TV have become somewhat cynical about the feelings and reactions that the participants on these shows demonstrate.

For example, we all look at Linda's reaction to David's kissing Cat as an overreaction and tend to see her as naive and, yes, weak. But if I hadn't seen many of these types of shows over the past few years and wasn't aware that it's common place--in fact, encouraged--for the bachelor(ette) to stick his/her tongue down the thoats of all the candidates as a barometer of their "connection", I would be having many of the same questions as Linda. And if the producers of the show encouraged me to return by implying that the bachelor in question had been seriously missing me and really wanted me back, I would be wondering why, after my return, he continued to make out with other women. Yes, we know that that is how the game is played, but Linda may not have had the sterling examples of Aaron, Alex, Trista, Andrew and Evan (not to mention every sleezeball on Elimidate) from which to draw a similar conclusion. She may not know that in refusing to kiss David after he had been kissing other women, she is contradicting the whole "it's a game" mentality that pervades these "dating" shows.

I have no idea what these women were told about this experience and what they expected. I have no idea how much exposure they have to the whole "find a mate by becoming as intimate as possible with as many people as possible in a short period of time" style of "reality" TV that has become so commonplace. Maybe I'm giving Linda too much credit for finding this "reality" a little off-putting.

Or maybe I'm just trying to stop being so darned cynical...

Sunshine4u - "David, himself, is a little bit of a yokel. This is embarrassing to most Europeans and there is NO WAY that any of them believe he is from a family with money. "

Yokel or not, whether the girls believe it or not.....I was under the impression that in real life, David IS from a family with money. He was quoted in TVGuide as saying that his dad has always taken care of him and that he has "never had to work"....apparently his dad made a killing in the oil market. That's all the details they had, but the article gave the impression that there was more to this all than meets the eye.

I posted a paragraph or more from this article earlier in this thread somewhere.

edited to add - Here is that post:

Apparently David's father actually IS a rich oil man!

and I quote from page 44 of the newest TV Guide:

Finding the new Joe was a little easier. He just walked out of the men's room at a rodeo in Mesquite, Texas. Or at least that's how Fox is portraying Smith's discovery. The 6-foot, blue-eyed bronco rider insists he's a real cowboy and would sooner be kicked by a Clydesdale than go Hollywood. He said he doesn't even mind surviving on $11,00 a year. "When I'm not in my trailer, I sleep in my truck," he says. Of course, Fox's press materials fail to mention that Smith's daddy made a killing in the oil business, and as Smith admits when pressed, "My dad's done everything for me. I've never had to work. Hmmm, maybe the new Joe really does have dough.

And therein is the ending we are not expecting, perhaps?

Yep, I'm banking that they will tell the girl he picks that he has no money and if she wants him anyway, she should show up at the appointed hour, yadda yadda yadda. Same as last time.

Then, when she doesn't show up, 'cause she really only wanted the money anyway, they find her, have her sign a release or whatever, and THEN tell her that he really DOES have money, but she's blown her opportunity.

Now, imagine that scenario if Olinda had been his final choice (yes, I know she's already gone, but I would love to see her face under this scenario).

However, if he continues moving towards Linda, then this might not play out the same way. Of all of them, she impresses me the most as being interested in HIM more than the money.

Max, that could be the reason why David was chosen. They looked for a poor guy who stood to inherit money so they could pull this twist. I see no other reason to have chosen this man. There must have been others that would have been more interesting.

This would be too good though. We are always looking for something better than they have in store.

I think he will choose Linda.
