The Mueller family lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. I actually did not see the Today show but, Don himself said he was in trouble from Christena by some of his actions. Time will tell, but, I think she will run as fast as she can. (just like Zora)

IMO, if you REALLY marry someone for love, then you shouldn't be concerned about "compensation" if it doesn't work out.

I felt the show gave the strong impression that the house in which the series was taped BELONGED to the Muellers. I had no idea that Dad was from Ohio. For heaven's sake, why didn't they force Dad to entertain those women in the midwest--the way that his future wife will have to live? It's hopelessly romantic and wonderful to walk along the beaches at the ocean and to go sailing, but that's not exactly the lifestyle that the future Mrs. Mueller will lead, now, is it?

And although I didn't like Christy AT ALL, I agree that a very cruel trick was played upon her!

They don't live in Cali ? That is not there house ? Well hush your fuss.........The implication was there that this was where the Mueller's resided ........remember the tacky sign out front ? This group will be in The Enquirer, The Star.......mark my words.

Statements made in the first episode, by DAD.. I thought, made it highly likely that this wea all a facade.. the "family home" etc.

But the whole series was written with such cruelty.. as if they just assume that anyone who goes on such a show must be humiliated and that the one/ones who might actually be seeking something real must be removed at all costs.

I thought at times that those to be frustrated also included DAD and the KIDS.

If you all remember..the dark haired daughter had applied for another reality show and from the way she talked about her family so highly that is how they got picked to do this show. So the possibility of these two getting married is highly unlikely.

Thanks for posting those articles, real life is hard work isnt it!! And I thought they made it clear they were just "using" that house, maybe I had read earlier they were from Cincy!! Anyway, does she have 2 teenage daughters or sons? One article says one thing, the cincy article says sons!! We are starved for 'reality tv' arent we?? And after this it does make a case for writers and actors!!

Christina would be crazy to marry that turtle head!

But the bottom line, you have to be somewhat crazy to go on a show like this, no?

You got that right seamonkey! :)

I truly thought the house was the Muellers. It was an absolutely beautiful house. I wonder if the women knew it was not theirs.

Don sounds like an absolute a$$. I bet Christy is glad she wasn't picked. If I were Christina, I would stay in California.

'Passions' Snags NBC Reality Vet
(Monday, August 18 11:07 AM)


LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Apparently pimping your father on national television has fringe benefits beyond the possible addition of a new stepmother.

Heidi Mueller, who was featured in NBC's summer reality hit "Who Wants to Marry My Dad?," has parlayed that exposure into a contract role on the NBC soap "Passions."

Mueller will play Kay Bennett, the scheming and manipulative daughter of Harmony Police Chief Sam Bennett and his wife Grace. On her summer reality show, she played Heidi Mueller, the opinionated daughter of Don Mueller, a Cincinnati businessman who let his children help choose his future bride.


"We are delighted to have Heidi join the talented cast of 'Passions,'" says Sheraton Kalouria, senior vice president of NBC Daytime.
This will be Mueller's acting debut. She begins shooting the week of Sept. 8 and her first broadcast date is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 23.

I watch Passions and am sorry to hear this news! I don't think I will enjoy seeing Heidi play one of my favorite characters on the show. She also has BIG SHOES to fill, the actress who played the part prior to Heidi was a fabulous villian.

I liked the original actress who played Kay. I've never liked the girl who currently plays her. She's just never been MEAN enough to be Kay. The first girl was just downright EVIL and believably evil, at that! Kay's never developed into much of a sidekick for Tabitha, either. The writers have really downplayed that angle, it seems.

I think they should have just killed Kay off, no one can fill her shoes. I didnt like Heidi.

Reunion Special next Monday night..ala The Bachelor when all the contestants get together and dish on what happened. Also the "happy" couple make a return and we find out if they are "still in love".

HI. I'm a BB watcher and haven't ever seen this show but I just found out that my niece got a part as an extra on an upcomming episode. So based on what I read here that will be a new series. My question is, what are they doing with "extras" on a reality show? I haven't spoken to her yet so I don't know anything about her part, but what's up with that?

Did anyone watch the reunion special last night? I got the feeling it was taped some time ago, since Christina and Dad commented they had been forced to stay away from each other. Also, some of the lines seemed terribly rehearsed (most notably the lines of Christina and her children).

They still didn't explain why Lori was evicted instead of Cynthia in the Penn & Teller episode. Guess we'll always be wondering about that one.

The kids looked great, and Heidi announced her starring role on Passions.

Yeah it looked supposedly like her kids met him and his kids for the first time right there, seemed awfully staged and then they hustled the kids off (hers)

And her "making" him take a polygraph.. he seemed fairly pissed, but it seemed only fair, or unfair but fitting the show style.

And they plan another season. THIS time, knowing what an esteem basher it is, women would be totally loony to go on the show.

The second place winner seems still really steamed and seemed to be trying to stir up trouble right there on stage.

Some of her clips almost made me expect to see an 900 number on the screen so she could make some money with people calling in for her.

Actually the nice moment came when the older son said that taking part in the show shifted his perspective and he asked his girlfriend to marry him.

I was surprised that they asked Christy why she didn't give dad a goodbye kiss on the finale show after they told her that she wasnt' chosen.

And, yet they didn't ask her how she felt about being brought back to the house & getting dissed in front of national tv audience.

i could have sworn that the background voice had said... "one of these ladies will return & the other will not" & yet they brought back both ladies & let them make their entrance not knowing which would be chosen

Did anyone notice that the daughter started to shake Don's hand (but he went to hug her). Thought that was strange. They never met before?
