I just finished watching this, did anyone else catch how Preston looked a little shocked when Monica said to him I don't think you are being extremely honest with me when he was gettign the ring back from her. This is going to end in tears for everyone all round. Even if one of them does like him the whole thing is lies and you can't start a relationship on lies, Rachel seems to be the only one honest about her intentions, at least to herself.

I didn't watch tonight. I watched Casino instead. Wonder how many of us deserted FLOM for Casino?

Jaimie got the boot..she was worth $250,000. Andrea and Rachel were butting heads again tonight. I only like PJ and the 2 brunettes who are left. I'm not a fan of Andrea or Rachel. IMO

I think Andrea made herself look worse than Rachel with her behavior on this episode. Does anyone else think she resembles Kim Catrell from Sex & The City? MY DD and I were trying to place her and that's who we came up with. I think it was Andrea we were talking about anyway. LOL

I finally figured out who Rachel reminds me of! It was Sarah(sp?) from Joe Millionaire. I don't know how to post a pic, though. I think Andrea did look bad tonight. I like a couple of the girls but am not too invested in the program.

Sometimes it pays to have Canadian Television networks. We did not have to choose between this and Casino as CTV's lineup last night was Love or Money followed by Casino followed by Next Action Star!

I agree Jan. I watched them both. Rachel seems to be falling for Preston. Just as well since she only has $1. I was surprised he kicked off Jamie but I guess it never went anywhere. I was hoping Rachel would find out how much her cheque is worth. Lots of twists in this one.

I was really surprised when he kicked Jamie off too, Enbwife. I thought Ali was a goner for sure..but I guess he just can't lick out that last $1Million cheque. Actually Ali knows there is no connection between them and she knows he knows how much money they each have. Since he didn't kick her out maybe she should start putting some of this info together and realize what she is worth!!! PS good luck with the ultrasound!

Here we had Casino vs FLOM vs Superstar USA at the same time. SSU does repeat on Sunday but it was a finale and I didn't want to wait almost a week for it. So, I skipped Casino and suspect that is really no loss. Not that FLOM is all that entertaining either.

I didn't watch last night. So what was the twist with the checks? Did any of them switch checks? And, if so, does Preston know the changes?

The women had to place medals on the picture of the person they thought was there for love, and the one they thought was there for money (self excluded). The one with the most "for money" medals (she got them all,except the one she awarded) and the one who got the most love medals then found out that they were the two who got to go on individual dates. Also the host flipped a coin and "love" won and so she was able to see the amount on her check and then would have been able to trade with another check sight unseen. She chose not to trade. Her check was $50,000 I think.. <QT> Ironically the money winner girl has a check for a DOLLAR.. but she doesn't know that.

It was actually $50,000, Sea. The "love" girl was PJ (is that her name?) and by all accounts she is not there for the money so didn't want to change the cheque even though it was only $50,000. It was Rachel that got all the "money" tokens and it is funny that she only has a cheque for $1. I think it is also funny that she seems to be the one that the guy likes best (shades of Trish on Bachelor!)

The winner of the toss was PJ and she had a $50,000 check. It was PJ who got the most medals for "love" and it was Rachel that got the most medals for "money". After PJ learned the amount of her check, she had the option to switch checks with anyone else's check whose value she did not know, but she declined to switch with anyone. It does make one wonder, though.....if one of the girls does eventually get to switch checks, will Preston be told? (The episode has already aired so I don't think this can be considered a "spoiler".)

It's a little funny watching Rachael and Andrea go at it. Usually there's one woman who's looking to stir up trouble or be the b*&%$, but in this cast there is really two and they keep banging heads. LOL! So far, I think Preston likes Rachael better, we'll see if that lasts after he gets a one on one date with Andrea. My other observation was that there was TONS missing from the PJ date. She dodged his kiss, then they were kissing in the Limo and then date over? Ummmm.... that makes NO SENSE. Obviously loads of stuff is missing. I wonder if these two have made a really good connection? They certainly aren't letting us in on it if that's the case. For some bizzare reason, I'm actually liking Rachael. When she wasn't sure if she liked Preston, she went for the money - why not, right? Now she's having second thoughts. It's also fun watching all her schemeing with the $1.00 under her name! LOL! The other one I like is PJ. Who also seems willing to consider the money if Preston doesn't work out. She just seems slightly more real than the other woman, not that they aren't all incredibly beautiful compared to an average jane. The rest of the women just seem blah or unkind (Andrea). I notice how incredibly quickly the show broke it's vow that the woman will ONLY know their check amount at the end of the game. Yeah, right!

Was it just me, or did ya'll think Preston looked a little uncomfortable when Andrea was all over him when he took her aside for their alone time on the group date. Even my DS caught this. We both thought she would be the one to go. DS thinks he let the "hottest chick", Jamie go. I don't see much connection between him & either dark haired girl. The girl with the $1 looked like she might be thinking she has the $1 mil. LOL. The one that actually has the $1 mil. didn't look like she had a clue. Rachael grew on me a little too. Preston knows she is only worth $1, but still seems interested. She's fun to watch. I don't care for Andrea & think she's still there because she's worth $500 Thou.

I also liked Rachel a lot better last night. She actually did say she was starting to care more about him than the money. Now wouldn't that be just an "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" moment if he picks her, she picks him and she finds out it was just a $1 and doesn't care? LOL I don't think he should have known what they were worth. It would have made it more interesting.

I feel like the editing helped make Rachel a villain at first, and now it's cleaning her image (and making viewers like her more) by presenting Andrea as the villain. Personally I don't like either one. I do think Rachel looks for attention and is a litte spiteful. I also still remember that she was so quick to lie to Preston to try to win the money...it's hard to fault her for that since there's potentially a lot on the line, but the fact that she did it without seeming to feel the slightest bit guilt kind of irks me. I doubt she'd *ever* choose Preston, too, regardless of what she says. Andrea seems like a bully. Even if she dislikes Rachel she could take the high road. But instead she's doing stuff like going in the room after the fight and stirring up *more* trouble. And how catty/immature is "I thought we weren't talking to HER", anyway?

Well I'm always the one with the stupid questions. I thought I would have figured out by now why the guy cares how much they're worth, but I haven't. I thought the girl decides at the end whether she wants love or money. Then she finds out how much she had. And the guy either gets the girl, or not. What does it matter to HIM how much her check is worth? He doesn't get to pick money. Or does he? Did they explain that when I wasn't looking? I watched the old shows, but this one is all different so I'm confused.

I think,the way it works Madelane, is that if he picks a girl and she chooses him over the money..he gets the money as well as the girl???? Am I right??

This season the final girl can choose the guy or the money, as before, BUT... If she chooses the money, he gets nothing. If she chooses the guy, then HE can chose her or her money.

Found this Rachel interview over at sucks. Article at Chicago Sun Times Rachel's not evil, just upfront, and makes 'Love or Money' fun June 14, 2004 BY PAIGE WISER Staff Reporter Advertisement You've seen the promos for the new season of NBC's reality show "For Love or Money," airing Monday nights at 8 on WMAQ-Channel 5. "There's only one Rachel," teases the announcer, as the ads linger on a sandy brunette's mischievously dazzling smile. It is clear that Rachel, at least, would choose money over love. "Idiot!" she says of her potential soulmate. And tosses her hair. Yep, Rachel is one of ours. The flight attendant, 26, is based out of Chicago, and is somewhat taken aback by her characterization on TV. "I didn't realize I was going to be so evil!" she says. "That was the big surprise to me. I thought you really had to be evil to have them make you look evil." Nope. Now that she's in the final six contenders, Rachel tells us what it's like to be slated as the next great pop-culture villainess. (We tried not to use the word "Omarosa.") Q. Almost immediately on the show, you say that bachelor Preston Mercer is "probably not" your dream man. What was wrong with him? A. Did I say that? Honestly, I think I was slightly bitter because he didn't notice me at first. Q. And yet you managed to get the first kiss out of him? A. Hey, no sloppy seconds for me. Q. Also on the first episode, you curled up in bed and cried when the other girls were mean to you. Any regrets about that? A. Let's just clear this up. That was so unfair. There were so many things happening that day: It was my birthday, and my brother's baby was sick in the hospital. A lot of things were going on, but in the editing, it seemed like I was just complaining, "No one likes me!" Q. Why do you think you got so much screen time? A. I'd like to think that it's because I'm really upfront. The producers told me, "You're so open and honest, and said the things nobody else would say." I'm hoping that's the reason. I'm hoping it means they like me. Q. Where did you watch the first show? A. I watched with family. We drank champagne, made fondue. At least I had people who loved me around me. Q. Have you been recognized yet on any of your flights? A. Not yet. I'm afraid someone's going to throw food at me. Q. On the show, you announced, "I'm great in bed." Weren't you a little nervous about making a statement like that? A. Well, who's going to say they're bad in bed? Things are asked in a certain way. Q. Whenever they show your name onscreen, they also show how much money you're secretly playing for. What's it like to see "Rachel, $1" all the time? A. I know! Like that's what I'm worth! That whole show is just, like, comical. Q. The real question: What is the price of love? A. In my heart, without a doubt, I feel that true love is worth so much more than any amount of money. But in this one particular instance in your life, you can win a lot of money. Q. How much are you worth? A. I know myself, and for me, there is no amount.

Thanks for that article Gina. It helps me to rethink my opinion on Rachel. I keep forgetting how much the producers can distort our view of people with their editing
