Here is another depiction of Rebekkah and her spine.

(Sorry. Oregonfire and I are both apparently evil. :))

He, he, he. Wicked people. Seriously though if one were to believe the Madison Ave types they would have us thinking this is the ideal woman. Yoo-hoo, the average woman (over 60 percent now) is a size 14 and up.

She is pretty and definitely slender but luckily that is not everyone's cup of tea.

And Weinermr, as usual I agree with your assessment of her inner beauty (or lack thereof)- I will be the devil's advocate and say perhaps it is just her callow youth. Although she actually isn't THAT young... lol.

Ok, this is my first time watching a full episode, and I didn't see the first episode at all. What does the dowry thing have to do with the show? Only one woman can get it?

I think the show is OK, but if it was on in the Fall, I don't think it would be on my "list" of must sees.

Seamonkey, I would say that Rebekah is more...what you said...than Cara.

Mygetaway, the dowry is just money that the woman gets. Every woman will get what's in her dowry at the end, apparently regardless of whether she gets engaged or not (as evident when Sissie mentioned that Rebekah would be laughing all the way to the bank when she makes a lot of money, but doesn't settle on one of the guys). They get $2000 if one of the four new men in the episode wins the contest and picks them for a date, and whenever one of the new guys makes a "plea" for them at the end of the episode. Sissie is just noting that Rebekah will be laughing at all the guys who threw themselves at her (and gave her the cash), but who had no chance with her whatsoever.

I have a question for everyone. I've probably just ignored whatever they say, but has it been specified whether the women actually get married to their Alaskan significant other at the end of the show (assuming that both parties are interested, that is)? Or do they just get engaged? I'm hoping it's the latter.

That's terrible!! Cara's at least younger than Rebekah.. I'm ever so grateful that I missed Her Knobbiness then..

From the fox website:

"By the end of the series, the women find themselves at Promise Lake once again -- only this time they stand in wedding dresses -- where the men have the opportunity to propose marriage. The ultimate decision is up to the women."

My prediction:

Brent will propose to Sissie. She'll accept.
No one else will receive a proposal.

I can't wait!

If I remember right, the ladies started with a dowry of $5,000 each and it goes up 2,000 every time they get a plea.

Mamaanja, I think you are right about the proposal situation by the end of the show, unless some "love at first sight" comes along. Could happen!

I'm bummed. I missed the last ep. I did read recaps, though, so I'm somewhat caught up. Glad I missed R's spine! Great pics of it above, though! Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks, Mamaanja! :)

I'm not sure if Brent will necessarily propose to Sissie. She hasn't met his kids yet, and I could see that being something they'd want to do first (especially if they don't live with Brent's ex most of the time).

But I could be wrong. They're the only ones that I could actually imagine getting engaged. And their relationship seems like the only healthy/normal one at this point.
