Rslover: David's first check was $1, but he actually got a mil check in the mystery check tradeoff.

Yes and didn't I just finish typing that? DUH! PM was kicking in. LOL. Well, it's nice to know that Caleb didn't lose any money in taking that risk.

Yeah Lori, this show got away without paying any prize money for both FLOM3 and FLOM4. It's not like those 40-year annuities were all that valuable in the first place!

I didn't detect any chemistry between them and I was thinking that either he was telling the truth and she was just trying to make herself look good on television, or they were all just acting out a script. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this really felt false all the way through.

I was disappointed. All along Mike said that he didn't care about the money. The editing made it seem that they were really into each other. Then last night she said that she just kept him around cuz he was a sure chance at the money. And he seemed to dissuade her from picking him (so that he wouldn't have to choose the $$ over her) I saw no connection between Rachel and Caleb.

In Touch magazine had an article on the three finalists this week, none of them really had anything nice to say about Rachel, not even Caleb, so I doubt it lasted beyond the next week. I'm glad Rachel didn't get any money, that's about the only positive thing I can say about the show!

Why on earth would you give up the money for such a short relationship? I know it sounds shallow but come on...$300,000 is good money! I would have taken the money!! LOL!

Mike reminded me so much of Dennis Leary. You would think them both turning down the check for love would be a happy ending, but to me it was a let down because they both seemed to need the money and it seemed like a dumb decision

I was surprised that Rachel didn't take the money. I read in TV Guide Online today that they have already broken up. Oh well, she had her 15 minutes of fame.

LOL Lori!! I thought that I would be flamed for saying that! You could tell that they didn't have the connection...maybe she wanted to look good for the public and not like a money grubbing witch...who knows! Do you have the link for the article Roteach?

}LOL...people have done a lot worse for less money, that's for sure. How long did they know each other? Nope...I would have pocketed the money. If they have already broken up, I bet Rachel is kicking herself.

I think Rachel knew she'd look so bad if she took the money that she couldn't risk it, and was hoping for the exposure of being in the couple instead. Foolish!

Here is what Caleb posted to an NFL message board when someone posted that he had won: Thanks fellas but I didnt win much. I picked the girl because I thought for sure we would split a million..........ugh I guess I was wrong. Great girl, just not what Im looking for. Hopefully some fun stuff comes of this. Some radio station in LA is flying me out to the biggest bachelorette party and putting me up at the Palms. I was there 3 years ago when this was going on and I have never seen so many women in one place. It was great. This time around I'm the entertainment. Gotta love that and those odds!

LOL...with all of these twists with reality dating shows, Caleb's thinking was right on...except for the fact this show was really cheap. He was probably looking over his shoulder on the way out the door waiting for his check! Rachel lost out BIG time!

Interesting! I guess it's a logical assumption to make. I bet he was miffed in the end! I'm glad the radio station is doing something for him, I kind of liked his insecurities.

Well, this show has been INCREDIBLY CHEAP the las two times. Erin got the first million and then the 2nd one she split with the guy. Maybe they're all out of millions.... er... what were those cheapo payments over time?! Sheeesh

If anyone is interested, the latest In Touch magazine has an article on the pair. They broke up within a month of the end of filming. The guy still says Rachel was great, he just doesn't seem to be able to commit, Rachel says he just seemed weird from the very next time they saw each other. Both say their choice was a big mistake.
