I thought it was horrible, dull and anticlimatic. I figured they would give her the money, I don't think she deserved it, certainly not additional money. The father was the best of this disfunctional bunch. The whole thing was pathetic.

Dog, Ramdi lived (and worked) in Phoenix. I don't know where her friends were from (how do we know those were all her friends?). That said, weren't they in Palm Springs? Even if I were in living in Littleton, a free trip to PS would be fun! (I'm assuming, of course, that the producers paid to fill those seats!)

I think you are all being too hard on the family. They didn't know Steve like the TV audience did, all they saw was what he let them see (and it wasn't pretty). The wedding was an emotional roller coaster for them. The shock of Steve backing out, the wedding being a sham left them confused, embarrassed, angry, as well as relieved. And running away from the cameras to sort at these feelings seemed to be the natural thing to do. I have to give credit to the Dad for sticking around to get the complete story.

I agree with you Glennk. I think the Coys were a wonderful family and I think how they acted was not so out of line. Steve was an actor being paid to act as obnoxious as possible. I would have worried about the family if they weren't upset by the whole proceedings. Their 23 year old daughter meeting and marrying a guy in a matter of a few days is a very tough situation to be thrown into. I thought they were quite gracious to Steve and his "family" and I don't agree that you just go along with whatever your daughter wants to make her happy when you feel so many red flags going up. I thought the show was very entertaining, Steve a great actor and Randi a darling girl with a wonderful family I would have been proud to call my own.

Did anyone see Steve on David Letterman last night? He said that he and Randi had to act like they didn't like each other before the last episode was shown. Letterman was really funny though. He was like "What family would act like that" Making fun of the Coys and saying they were driven by the $$. Steve tried to disagree, but Letterman obviously watched and said what he thought was wrong with the Coys. It was really funny.

I saw Letterman. It was a hoot! Dave actually watched the show and had the same reaction most of us had, lol. Steve was funny, but he was dancing as fast as he could. He had to admit that the show almost unraveled because of the family's reaction. The producers had to scramble and beg. Of course, Steve couldn't really tell the whole truth, but you could tell that he really wanted to.

I saw Randi on Access Hollywood last night and she said she would never go on a reality show w/o knowing it was about again. She also said her family LOVES Steve and his "family" and her Dad was going to call him that night. I actually starting liking the Dad more as the show went on. I think he was pretty cool, all considered. I didn't grow up in the age of reality shows, but I know my father would have been screaming like crazy and probably would have walked out. He might have come back, since he always would calm down and support us in the end, but he sure as heck let us know what he was thinking without holding back!

Wasn't it amazing how that droopy-mouthed mother perked right up when she heard mention of a million dollars?

The main thing I didn't like about Randi's family was how the brothers said, "she's only thinking about herself, she doesn't care about the family." If this were for real, and she really had found her soul mate (as they should have believed at the time), why is it selfish of her to marry the guy? The brothers wouldn't have to live with him, she does. The kilts....OK, I get that it is because of their "heritage." But, why didn't the dad wear a kilt? I thought maybe it was because the Irish was part of the mother's side. But, there was something at the end about wanting to take Dad to Ireland on a vacation. So that would lead me to believe he was Irish too.

the mother had said "when the girls get married, i want the boys to wear kilts"...there was no mention of the father wearing one, although he looks more irish to me than the mom. maybe the bride is supposed to be the only one in a skirt when they walk down the aisle?

I found Randy's family to be selfish and possesive. It's fine for them to tell her they don't approve but once the wedding started get over it! The older brother was weird with his reaction; I almost felt it was incestual. (Did I spell that right??) The sister overreacted in my opinion. It's Randy's wedding not hers! I too was liking the father more and more near the end. I liked it that he stayed with Randy at the end when the rest of the family walked out on her. I actually felt kind of sorry for her when her father said it's not about the money. Someone mentioned Randy is 23?? I thought she was much older than that the way she carried herself; not that she looked older. I thought she was 30.

i thought i had heard 26 at first, until i saw all the posts saying she was 23. maybe, at 23, you think 250k WILL change your parents' lives (remember, she thought they would get that amount when she agreed to go ahead with the joke). after taxes, it's probably what her parents earn together in one year or so! for randi, teaching at a parochial school, it probably did seem like a lot of money. my sister has taught at the same parochial school for 26 years (and been vice principal for the last 8 or 10 years), and she barely makes $2,500 a month after all this time; and is only paid 9 months of the year, so has to spread her salary out over 12 months. but most people know what real life costs, so i was surprised a college-educated gal like randi didn't realize how much her parents already seemed to have. i did have to laugh (okay, snort) when she told pat how much he wanted to move out and this would help him. he was older than randi and still lived at home? couldn't be the sullen attitude that kept him from making a good living, could it? from the 'disgust' on everyone's faces that steve (supposedly) hadn't gone to college, you could tell the coys were all college-educated or headed that way. therefore, i am guessing that pat has a degree in something! 'drinking and appreciating fine beer before noon', perhaps? he seems to be the type to become 'meaner' when they drink, rather than loosening up. maybe this show helped them to see how we all saw them, and it can't all be from editing. that is most-likely what embarrassed them, too. not just being the butt of a joke, but being butts. i am hoping they hang out with the real steve here and there and learn to relax and have some fun. life's too short not to!

I bet their high-society friends have started to snubb them and are making behind-the-back comments at the country club. Will it change them? No. They'll just blame Randi. I don't, nor will I have have the kind of money they have. I am not envious. If anything I feel sorry for them.
