I agree it was nauseating watching the Dad make out so much, but it was more nauseating with the daughters watching him. That is a double YUCK to me!!!

Hi all!

Just saw the show the first time tonight. OMG, it is so FAKE, I can't believe it.

The daughters crying, crying, as they evict someone. Come on! I mean, how upset could they be--they hardly know these people.

Then, the stupid lie detector. Do you want the daughters to come on your honeymoon? Duuuh!!

All the fake emotion, and the boo-hooing over being evicted, but none of them seem to show any real emotions over anything. IMO, either this is way overscripted, or they're all on drugs.

LOL--this is the worst "reality" show I've seen so far. Think I'll pass on it until the last show when the justice of the peace shows up, and I'll just be laughing my head off.

Lol, yes I only had it on 'in the background', Puzzled.

It always makes me laugh when the Dad gives input, then the kids ignore what he says.

In a lot of ways this show was more fun & edgier when it was the other way around...especially the Dads grilling the young guys about their intentions towards their daughters etc.

I'm sorry ... I had no idea that Ward Clever was actually a Frito-Lay route salesman. I hate to sound crass, but <>

I find him neutral, beige and square beyond my ability to tolerate. The daughters over-react to unimportant things - "What? She wouldn't consider changing her name to ours? What's wrong with Flogennogensteinbergian?" And the major things not affect them at all - "So what if she stabbed her boyfriend. She wears really cute shoes so I think we should keep her!"

OK ... their last name isn't "Flogennogensteinbergian" and nobody stabbed their boyfriend (well, not that we know of) but you get the point.

And after listening to the trio-of-daughters diss the women and pick'm apart, then we get to see them cry buckets of theatrical tears when they send one packing. Ain't showbiz grand?

Wait until one of the women admits that she's allergic to cornchips ... There WILL be hell to pay!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

SHEESH!

Getting rid of Tammy b/c she wouldn't change her name was a lame excuse...now getting rid of Sharon was a good call...she was a little wacked for me! Then again anyone who would put themselves in that type of situation has to be a little nuts to begin with.
If the daughters make them get married then they are dumber than I thought...I'm hoping it's a joke and they're just trying to see how committed the woman are.

I really hate the daughters. They are ridiculously judgmental. I wouldn't be proud to call them my daughters! so what if that woman didn't want to change her name? When asked if she would if Dearest Daddy wanted her to, she should have said, "I'm not a doormat." It's like the women are expected to cowtow to whatever Daddy wants to be considered a good "match" for him. Ugh.

It's also ridiculous for the daughters to take the lie-detector tests seriously. They're notoriously unreliable, especially with "What if?" questions. And such stupid questions! Would you take us on our honeymoon (was she supposed to say yes?!? These daughters are sick! I guess watching their dad kissing the women isn't enough fun for them?). Then there's the "How often do you beat your husband?" type of question where it's a lose-lose proposition--I can't figure out what the Evil Trio would consider a GOOD answer.

And the bad facts--ooo, she waited outside her boyfriend's house an entire two hours because he was a lying sneaking skank! How dare she?! She's such a stalker (only NOT). And ooo, she likes to eat ketchup! What a hhorrible woman that makes her!

This is genuinely the stoopdiest reality TV show out there (except maybe for Elimidate). It tries to be so sentimental, but then it's got so much dumbness to it, why not make it a funny farce instead? It'd be more entertaining and a lot less painful.

LOL, Rupert, you're right about the daughters not listening. But, hey, anyone dumb enough to let his kids choose his wife probably shouldn't be listened to.

Evil Trio--good name for them ketchup.

At least with Elimidate you know it's supposed to be dumb and stupid.

This whole episode was beyond ridiculous. Grown women running around in bridal gowns. It was just plain mean to eliminate that poor woman on church steps. I thought the whole wedding vow bit was over the top. How do these people manage to get themselves so invested with someone so quickly? Just don't get it!

i don't know who to be more embarrassed for: the adult women competitively writing/reading wedding vows, the daughters reading the producers stupid questions, the dad letting his kids get him into this mess, all of them for crying, or me for watching.

Disgusting show. This show leaves a worse taste in my mouth than Elimidate. At least that one's not trying to be taken seriously.

(OMG! I just saw Puzzled's post! Same comment! We are so in sync!).

If it fill an hour after FLOM while I wait for hubby to come home, I'd never watch it again.. Then again, I am intrigued with wondering how low will they go? Had I been one of those women, I would have walked.

I finally watched the latter half of an episode last night-- "This is sick" was the refrain going through my mind. The wedding gowns, plus the women essentially being forced (by circumstances) to make these verbal committments to a guy they barely know (the idea that he is just a delivery truck driver just stayed in the back of my mind pretty resentfully)-- Ugh.

Why are the daughters so emotional? Do they want acting careers and are showing how easily they emote? Why would they put their dad through this? They are women, why would they put fellow women through this?! How can they say, "One of these 3 women is perfect for Dad...I just don't know which one!" If you don't have an idea now, why even bother? Yuck.

Where is this being filmed? I think the closing credits said that lodging and travel accommodations were provided by some hotel in London. How is this possible/credible? I must have misread, or missed something in the first half.

Kimmo, I think they win a trip (must be to London). If you read the fine print at the end of the show, they don't even have to take the trip toegether. That trip is the real prize. No one could pay me enough to abase myself as these women have for the sake of a trip. I feel so bad for them, even though they "asked for it." I hope they're ALL acting.

Why aren't we seeing more of the Dad's interaction on a one on one basis with the women? Is it because he is so smitten with one woman? It seems we are seeing the group of women and the daughters for the majority of the show.

Yes it is a pathetic show but I will watch to see the trainwreck ending.

How about Stacy's vocal affectation last night as she was reading her "vows"...your basic "low rent" Katherine Hepburn !

I had to turn the volume low on Stacy (read captions instead)....Starting with her hedging committment of "getting to know you better"-- It's ridiculous to put on a wedding dress and then make your wedding vows talk about just "Getting to Know You." Her face and voice were so mannered, I just turned the channel finally. I was puzzled at the dad being so "Wow!" when she came in. Is he like that with everybody?

Pretty much Kimmo! Some of these women I would have booted out the door as soon as they came in! I sit here and crack up with my kids and tell them there is NO WAY I'd ever let them pick a spouse for me! Knowing them, they'd have a real ball with it and pick out the person I liked the least, just to be funny. LOL

I actually enjoyed the show. It was so beyond stupid that it was hilarious.

A bunch of not-that-young women go and dress up as brides??? It just doesn't get more ridiculous. Then we're supposed to be sorry for the nincompoop who got all dressed up and was dumped??

The capper was when these women sashayed around as "brides" all day and then read "vows" to someone who wasn't even committed to them. ROFLMAO by this point.

Daddy acted, oh, so touched by each woman's vows. Good grief, what is wrong with him?

Actually, this show has surpassed Elimidate in absurdity. Daddy and the Evil Trio are from outer space--as are these supposedly mature females.

I agree with all of the above comments...the wedding dress and the vow thing was just too out there. And how they kept crying...PLEASE!! They all get a D- for acting. I kept wanting to get them out of the dresses and into normal clothes! The dad creeps me out...he looks like the stalker type and don't get me started on the 3 kids who are nothing short of nasty.
I would feel like a complete idiot walking around with 3 other woman in a wedding dress. Pathetic...not sure if I will continue to watch this train wreck.

This show has already lost me. I haven't watched the last week or two and don't intend to watch the rest of it. I have better things to do with my time than watch this crapola.

Reality tv is not always "reality" and this one tops the list of the unreal.

Well I am still watching this...it is kind of like a train wreck! The kids really get on my nerves though. I really feel sorry when a "bad fact" is revealed about the women. The ex-boyfriends showing up to dish dirt on the women was really unfair.

I wonder just how much "Dad" makes. The children seem to get pretty upset whenever something monetary is brought up about the women (i.e. $200 bottles of wine or Suzanne's $6,000 shopping spree). Wonder if dear old dad is worth zero...wouldn't that be a hoot. I sincerely believe these women are golddiggers!
