Best moment.. the opening scene of the Bear, loping away.. probably from Rebekkah!!

and Rebekkah standing there with that grin pasted on her face and no one showed up! So she got the most money, she is the weakest link, goodbye! So sad, too bad. yeah..

Sissie..and Brent.. well cool.. I think they do have a chance!!

For Cecile, actually this gives her closure.. she still was talking about the guy and now at least maybe she can drop it.. and of course it saved face having someone show up.

I do think the show was set up to degrade and make fun of the women (the strange costumes, the drama of standing there in the snow, all dressed up..etc.) And really even Rebekkah may not have deserved that.

The Rebeckah moment was priceless--I was actually cheering at the television. I know that's mean, but true. That fakey, smugly assured smile on her face was so annoying.

Again, I'd have to say poor Karen. I know the guy was too young for her, but sad nonetheless.

This show definitely was set up to be degrading to the women. And I can't believe how finicky the guys were. So much for the man-to-woman ratio in Alaska--they're still as picky as all get out.

I have to agree, that facial droop of Rebekka's was priceless. I felt really glad Cecile didn't have to stand their alone.

I also agree with Oregonfire. Looks like the Alaskan guys are just as pRicky as the lower forty-eight's.

Well, that was fun. Now onto BB3 and whatever that show was with the three guys and the in-laws...

ITA with the above. Not much to add here. But I did actually dream of Sissie and Brent last night after the show--they were picking out a van together, so I think they'll end up together (not that my dreams are ever prophetic!).

I think this show would work better with more women--and Alaskan men who really DO want to get married.

And I think the girls keep their dowry money. No "contingent upon" clause was ever mentioned.

BTW, I thought this show was billed as being seven episodes? This one started abruptly, too. They jumped from the women picking their second man, straight to them picking which of the two to keep, which makes me think they dumped an entire episode showing their final dates during the 48 hours previously.

Probably done because of low ratings (and it was WAY predictable), but it's annoying.

Ketchup that was my thought too :) But not unless she'd get more dowry money for hitting on the pilot.

i dont know about any of you but i thought cecile was about the beeeeyatchiest girl in the bunch. i thought she was the immature one. she gathered info from her "girls" and forced a guy to get in bed with her when he really didnt want to. she was all about herself, bleck.

her only other connection was with the "sports guy" and they liked sports..i thought that that was ridiculous. im glad Tim left her dumb ass and did something for himself.

i felt that karen was unbelievablely boring throughout the entire 6 shows and her being left alone was so expected.

rebekahs ego smashed is a good thing, jason ditching her is not, but whatever theycoulda had a fun time.

cissy and brent just need to do it, it doesnt matetr about the families they are both so ordinary nothing could be bad about either side.

and andrea....she was my favorite on the show. the "long distance" thing should have been just either cut or dry...it was basically long distance while on the show too. haha. kristain is lame and i hope he gets his act together and taskes what he gets.

the show i thought was basically ridiculous. with the challenges for example....

the title sequence was probably made by the peeps who did survivor's (almost exactly the same) and i want to know how much the producers influenced the final proposal scenes....

i give the show a "watch it while you are really bored eating a grilled cheese sandwich and laugh at it " rating.

i hate the stupid marriage on tv idea someone maim the guy who thought of it

I've waited to allow the mess of this final show marinate in my brain a bit, but one word comes to mind…Pathetic Sad, Desperate, Cheesy, Degrading…Oh well at least I thought it would be one word!

Someone has to tell me WHY when it’s a dating show the women have to come off as crazy, icy, bitchy, slutty/man crazy or desperate? I mean I can pretty much fit every woman I’ve ever seen on these dang marriage/dating reality shows into these categories.

Initially I was happy to see the women get their chance to pick from a bevy of guys. But I at least expected 2 or 3 emotionally adjusted, mature women. Not 1 out of 5. I mean what did they do, comb bars and ask folks to sign up? These other 4 women (I’m not counting Sissy, cause at least she made a match) made up the worse traits a woman could have.

Rebekah was money hungry and just basically toyed with guys and in the end she finally learned that no one really wanted her beyond her superficial exterior. Sorry but what her Man On Ice said was crap. “The princess behind the looks?” LOL When did he get to meet that part of her?

Cecile was immature and seemed more like a girl in high school than an adult woman looking for marriage. Tim and the producers decided to give her a break and he came back to apologize for the cameras but he really had no intention of doing anything more than that. And for what she went thought she should have told him “Thanks, but No thanks.”

Andrea didn’t know how to leave a bad relationship to save her life. Christian is and will always be a jerk, a selfish one. Gee when he left you after you wouldn’t sleep with him that night, that was …oh I don’t know...A CLUE! Why the hell pick someone as your final guy. *Sigh* Maybe when she finally sees the tape of the show she’ll realize her stupidity.

Karen was the ice princess of the show. Still having fresh wounds from being left by her hubby she didn’t have the skills to even venture into a relationship and she sure shouldn’t have expected to find a new hubby out in Alaska.

I think the production of the game was nicely done. I think the game itself needs to be revamped. I would rather enjoy 1 Bachelorette with 50 men and see how she gets to have dates with a bunch of guys. Gee something like THE BACHELOR was! That way we get involved with her process but at least we know that the woman would have to be successful, mature and some better background checks should be done.

Well if wishes and buts were candy and nuts…..
