Makes me wonder how much of the "nerd/geek" is an act and how much is real. I'm also wondering about the several outtakes at the end of this week's show that showed a fair amount of kissing. Understanding that the producers edit the living you-know-what out of these shows I wonder if the kissing scenes are with the present group of guys or with some "hunks" they bring in as part of a twist. The only clear "kissing scene" with one of the present group of guys has him acting like a bit wierd, the rest I couldn't tell.

Sia,
ITA. How disgusting was that? Who said it? I know he was big and fat, but I thought he had glasses on. Looked at the photos and couldn't remember.

I think this show is being poorly edited. Why did she eliminate Eric, the police officer, who didn't seem so bad and keep Mark?

RSLover, I was wondering the same thing. The police officer looked okay to me, but then I read his bio at the official site and he seemed not-so-great. I think she saw that side of him.

So far, John is my favorite. I think he's a cutie!

Did anyone notice that when they were rolling the credits it said something about how "participants may have consulted with production about decisions". I am paraphrasing it but it was something along those lines. I know they do it in all the shows but I like that they are admitting it openly.

My husband also was the one interested on this show and I tined in after RW Paris.

I thought it was mean but I enjoyed it, what can I say. I don't know how she can actually hook up with any of them but I guess once we get to see their personalities they will look different to us and we might find them more appealing.

The broccoli guy.......are you kidding me? It's almost better to talk about the weather!

I missed the first half hour, who was she a dancer for?

The broccoli guy scares me...way too intense! She definitely must have seen something in him.

I too was a little puzzled over her eliminations. I thought some of the guys eliminated were some of the best ones.

That heavy set guy with the garbage mouth has to go. How offensive!

Danzdol...I think she was a NFL cheerleader.

putter, I saw a commercial for Mondays ep, and according to that, SIX of the 12 left are eliminated, not, not four.

LOL I think I'm the only one who thinks the "broccoli guy" is cool. I feel like he has such magnetism. Maybe he should just keep his mouth shut. ;-) Honestly, maybe he's just a little (or a LOT) socially backward. He's certainly accomplished quite a bit in his young life and he's probably more of a thinker than a talker. But you know what they say...watch out for the quiet ones!

Eliz87, you're not the only person who likes the "broccoli guy." I'm guessing he'll be the more reserved and gentleman-like out the bunch. I'd say he and the assistant director are the best looking fellows from what I remember.

Danzol-She was a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader (which helpfully explains the Chiefs player who's coming next week to help them workout)

I do not think these guys represent the average man. Most of these guys look like they are straight out of the movie Revenge of the Nerds. Makes me wonder if the producers gave them a different kind of make over, then later, we will see the real guys. But maybe they just went out of their way to find guys that look/act like the Revenge of the Nerds characters.

Then, when you read the blurb at the end about some being paid and consulted...this doesn't seem like a reality show to me.

A 21 year old almost college professor is certainly not average.

There's a short article in next week's Entertainment Weekly where they actually call out Dennis for his actor website -- and I think it's in the same article that the "brocolli guy" says he has a dry sense of humor and was trying to be funny.

The cop was kind annoying in my opinion. When I was choosing who I'd eliminate, he was 2nd on my list.

As for the "producers consult with participants about their decisions" bit, it's fairly common on some of these shows. Basically the producers want to know what she is going to do (who is she going to eliminate, etc) so that they are ready for the shots, etc.

Can I keep David? You can all keep that freaky Tareq guy.

Does anybody know what the twist will be? If "hunks" join this show I hope Kathy Griffin beats them to a bloody pulp :)

The pig who called her hot a$$ is Joe. I hope she
gets rid of him soon. So, who do you think got paid? Who is the actor wannabe? Or did they learn the premise and had to be bribed with money?

I'm thinking the one who got paid is the hottie fake out guy in the beginning who got out of the limo...like they called a modeling agency and he came out to strut his stuff and tease Melana (sp). Did they say something more about it, like it was one of the guys in the average group? or could it be the hunk(s)?

Rslover, I agree, Joe's got to go. But when he goes...he's going to think it's because he's fat, and average....while I think, he has behaved like a jerk. Make that JERK with capital letters!

Having Kathy Griffin as the host should have tipped Melina off that there was going to be some kind of twist to this one. I think "Broccoli Guy" is too young. He's in over his head...been in school earing his Ph.D. too much to have any experience with women.

I enjoyed the show but couldn't help feel sad for the men. What a cruel thing to do to them. I hope she ends up being real with them, right now I find her very condescending and totally fake. I hope I am wrong and when they bring in the real hotties she won't ditch the average guys.

I am going to keep watching and and hoping for the good guy to come out on top.

I'm thinking this twist that they are talking about that happens half way through, where she starts actually falling for some of the guys, is them bringing in some hunks to woo her away.

How wicked and mean would that be?

I went to the website to match faces with names. They could have put better pics on there. Are they purposely trying to make them worse than they are? I think David is a cutey! Love those eyes! And what's up with Tareq? A little stalk-ess-nish, don't ya think?

And he was all up in her face like it was the most interesting question in the world, with this 'Are you getting sleepy? When you wake up, you will be mine' hypnotizing look in his eyes. Spookity!
