Okay, shallow I am...If I were the gal, I'd tell them all to vacate except for the curly-haired dude (the first one who walked in). He's soooo good looking and what a smile! And you know? The third guy who walked in looks like an Average Joe to me. Nice hair and all that, but his teeth are kinda big. The middle guy's okay, but he looks pretty young. I wouldn't even be saying all this if any of the three remaining Average Joe's were impressive. I think the one with the glasses might be okay, but I don't know.

AVERAGE JOE HAS JUMPED THE SHARK

I really enjoyed tonight's episode. I think I'm falling for Adam. He is such a sweetie. And, as big of a jerk as Zach acts around the guys, he does seem to connect with Malena - so good for them. Best moment all evening - Adam saying "ba$tards" as the cute guys walk in (isn't that from some movie?). I burst out laughing and couldn't stop until the end of the show. I actually had to back it up and watch it a few more times. I thought the twist was done well, even though everyone watching could see it coming from miles away. Shallow Gina says - the first two new guys are cute, but the third one??!!?? What were they thinking? Adam and Zach are cuter. The third one is very male modely - but not really good looking. Does that make sense? LOL Glad the Zach hater (Brad) was booted. I was kinda pleased to see trash talk got him no where. Is Zach an a$$hole? I don't know, but it's kinda up to Melena to judge for herself, not believe what some shmoe tells her behind Zach's back. Brad did not represent SE Michigan very well - bad Brad!

The second new guy is hot! The first and third are not my type at all. Even including them, Adam is my absolute favorite. His personality is wonderful and I think he's rather cute. Malena dropped a few points by eliminating Brad and keeping Zach.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Adam resembles Keith from Paradise Hotel. I know Keith was slimmer but I think it has to do with his eyes and his teeth. Each time I see Adam I think of Keith. Any opinions. (sorry my keyboard is acting up and some of the punctuation keys (question mark and comma as you can see) are not functioning.)

First guy - okay, but does he have a personality??? Second guy - eye candy cute, but does he have a personality?? Third guy - uglier than some of the Average Joes, and does he have a personality??

Isn't Brad the one who spent part of his date with Melena by trashing Zach? If so, I would have dumped him too. First, it wasn't his place to fink on Zach... Secondly, it showed how insecure he was by trash talking. What a shame, I liked him until then. The first hunk that walked in was a cutie but I didn't like the other 2... especially the 3rd one. OMG, ugh.

I thought Brad blew it by trash talking, too. It really made him sound insecure and catty. Even though I had liked him more than some of the others previously, he blew it with me and apparently her, when he did that. I was laughing so hard listening to Tareq and all his stupid complicated language for expressing the most simple thing. His comments on the golf course had me cracking up! Good Lord man, get a life besides your intellectual one! LOL He was too young and just too advanced educationally - his maturity hasn't caught up to his intellect. His temper was pretty scary as well. I was happy to see him leave. I did start liking Adam a lot more tonight. Zach doesn't bother me as much as he did in the beginning. I think he's chilled some when just w/the guys and he was trying to encourage Adam to be cool when the "hunks" were coming in. He and Melena do seem to connect and he might be "better looking" in some ways than the other guys, but he's sure going bald. Maybe the new guys can lend him some of their hair. LOL I think the first guy was hot, the second guy was on fire and the third guy, should have been cast with the rest of them at the beginning! I don't find him attractive AT ALL! And why is John still there? I don't really see a connection between them - at least not on her part. Oh well..next week should be interesting, esp. seeing if there's more to these other guys than looks.

At first this show made be feel bad, but then you got to see how great the guys were and how down to earth Melena was. Then this twist last night just made me feel downright dirty! If I was Melena, I would have had a huge tantrum..look what they are saying about her!! The outsed guys were on Today this am and they all said they think she will pick a pretty boy. I really like Adam.

RE the one article above, it is kind of depressing that the producers actually thought people would watch and laugh at these guys. Re the "hunks" all I can say is not, but she certainly looked pretty happy about it. (the last guy was all greasy hair and teeth) I really thought she was liking Adam quite a bit, but it seems from next weeks peek that hottie #2 sets her heart a pitter patter.

ps - I thought it was just nasty to start John's insecurities up and again, and Adam's too and probably Zach's under all that bravado by bringing in these other guys who are really no more than average joes with their clothes on, they obviously look smokin with them off but abs don't get you far. It was nice of him to whisper to John to pull himself together, him may turn out to be very supportive of Adam and John

Just4fun, The very first time I saw Adam,I thought of Keith I think Adam is a cutie.I loved Keith!! The only one of the new guys I thought was cute,was #2. I'm hoping final 3 will be : Adam,John & #2 guy.

ITA about New Guy #2 being the only real "cute" one. The first was OK, the third was SCARY. Way too many angles in that guy's face! OK, just because these guys are cute does NOT mean they have good personalities. Just like the Average Joes didn't necessarily have cool personalities (Brad). So if she DOES connect the most with a pretty boy because of his personality, she will still come off looking shallow. Kinda unfair to her, you know? I expect she'll cut three of them--keeping at least one from each camp (bye, John, you were fun!). Not that I think she's all that. I thought she was kind of rude to Jerry and demanding in her "Show me your personality--you have 15 minutes. Go!" attitude. And I didn't like that she actively rooted for Zack over Jerry. I DID love her sarcasm over Brad's transparent crap about liking Jennifer Aniston too. He probably said things like that all the time, he was so desperate to prove he's the one. But what was up with John missing all the movie questions? He's a director's assistant! I was laughing my head off at his "Cuba Gooding Jr.!" answers. I wonder if he's acting... I can't fault Malena's choice in movies--I think the Shawshank Redemption is one of her faves and the first two (Bull Durham and Driving Miss Daisy) were a set up to name the movie that Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman stared in. I wish we'd gotten to hear the questions--but then, this isn't a movie trivia show! OK, since I watched this show after a two-hour marathon of Joe Millionaire, it occurred to me that some of those gals would be perfect matches for the average joes. Here's my take on who belongs with whom: Linda & John: We're so insecure, a kiss is a really huge deal! Zack & Cat: We're into playing the "game," and we think we're super hot stuff! Adam & Petra: We're great at getting the main guy/girl out of a funk and making them laugh! Brad & Olinda: We love to talk about people behind their backs! Anique & Tareq: We have Q's in our names! As far as I'm concerned, Adam is the REAL average joe--left with a dweeb and a bully.

What an ending! I'm glad she booted Brad. Wasn't he the one who told Dennis he was a great guy and would make it to the end. Then he told Melana Dennis would make a great "friend" but not a boyfriend.

Yes, Brad also dissed Dennis. He did it with a back handed compliment. (Something like (to Melena) I see him as your friend, but not boyfriend/romantic material.) IMO he is playing just as many mind games as Zach. Only difference? Zach and Melena have some sort of connection. Never saw one with Brad. I thought Melena's greeting of the new guys was pretty much exactly equal to her greetings of the average joes. Big smile, grace, welcoming, etc... She has a lot of charm and comes off as quite genuine no matter who she is speaking to. I'm not suprised at all she was in pageants. She is very charming and would make a great spokes model type. The other thing I've noticed about Melena - she very kissy. Kinda like Bob of the bachelor. It all seems very friendly and genuine. I have a feeling she often kisses on first dates - and I don't mean that in a bad way. Just who she is.

Just had an interesting thought: I see Bob (from Bachelor) as kind of an average joe. Too bad they couldn't have put those two together and saved all this bother with these other guys.

I just finished watching my tape of last nights show. You got to be kidding. To begin with, the 3 hunks looked more like girly men that he men. Maybe it's just me but I really have very little use for pretty boys. I think both Zack and Adam have a lot more sex appeal than any of the 3 so called hunks. If she choses any of them the Average Joe's should consider themselves lucky to escape her. I know I'm venting but in my experience pretty boys usually have very little going for them except looks

She would probably fit right in with them Happyhounds. From what I have seen of her so far, she doesn't seem to have much more going for her than looks either.

GREAT matchups Realfan! LOL at Anique and Tareq because they have a "Q"!! that is so funny! anyway, I agree about the pretty boy thing....most are vacant upstairs and not very appealing. I have always been more drawn to 'average joes' in the looks dept because they usually try harder to be a good guy, someone I'd want to be with longterm....looks only last so long....the pretty boys will only be that way for a short time, esp if they're into the tanning thing (like George Hamilton)....when they're 70, they'll all be average but they won't have any personality like the joes do now IMO

Hey does anyone know where they might be hiding the bios on the new guys? Just curious that NBC doesn't have anything up on them. By the way should we really be slamming that third guy so hard? I mean he isn't my type but then that is what makes the world go round. If we all thought the same guys were the one we would have big big problems. Maybe his face isn't his big attraction??

SIGH!! I really thought that John was going to start crying when the "goodlooking hunks" were coming in and introducing themselves. Zach really got rigid, standing without movement and poor Adam was getting redder and redder like he was going to explode. ** Melena, on the other hand, looked flustered and pleased all at the same time. She was smiling ear to ear as the first guy came in, by the time the third guy was lined up Melena looked estatic!! ** I loved John's comments afterwards. He is right...you can be holding a great conversation with someone and seem to be "connecting", then a good looking person comes in the room and you dont exist. I am female and have had that happen. It is human nature......looks ARE IMPORTANT before personality! The premise of this show was just plain cruel, in my opinion. I am very pleased that the 36yr old virgin accountant was just an actor playing a part....I felt soooo bad for him when he was gotten rid of.
