Second Show
Buttercup | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 05:45 pm     It's about to start... |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 07:24 pm     Rebekah isn't all that Why would you make a plea for someone you didn't spend time with? |
Puttergirl | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 07:30 pm     I think she made a deal with Mike- she'll give him part of the "dowry" if he selects her. He had no other reason to. She's only interested in how big she can get her dowry!! Also, does anyone else think that Cecile exagerated the kiss tonight?!! |
Mamaanja | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 07:40 pm     Yes, Puttergirl! She exagerated, or they didn't show us everything. I wonder what happens next week. Did you catch the previews? Why is Cecile so upset? They showed Karen (I think) in bed with a guy, who is taking off her shirt. Maybe she gets it on with Cecile's man on ice? |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 08:05 pm     I don't see it in our tv guide.. busy watching the Lakers in the playoff game.. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 08:10 pm     Oh.. Kay.. on fox and labelled Looking For Love.. how helpful. I suppose i could watch tho I missed the first episode, but not much else is on, have already seen Joan of Arc. And it looks like the Lakers pulled it out.. Kobe and Shaq are being interviewed.. |
Muse | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 08:19 pm     Was it definitely Karen in bed? Because I thought it was Andrea and Kristian. But I wasn't sure either. I would guess that either Tim or the new guy that Cecile dates does something to make her upset. I don't see her being close enough to any of the other guys to have that kind of reaction. What on earth was Michael thinking? You know, I have to wonder what kind of personality Karen has. It's not like she's ugly or anything. Why are none of the men interested in her? Too shy? Cecile must have exaggerated, because her date's description of the kiss was *very* different, and he seemed to think she was interested in him. It seemed like she wanted to make some drama, and/or get Tim jealous. And I'm sorry, but "maul" is a pretty strong term to use when describing a kiss. Especially when it doesn't sound like she did too much to avoid or stop it. I can understand why she wasn't interested, though. Jeff was kind of creepy. I think Sissie's trying to avoid being humiliated by trying to avoid (or *claiming* she's trying to avoid, at least) getting other dates. But I also think she's really just interested in Brent, so whatever works for her... Rebekah is still annoying. 'Nuff said. Andrea was kind of annoying me as well, though. She seems to look up to Rebekah, and is sort of acting like her. I don't get why she chose Kristian, either. Not after what he told her. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 08:51 pm     Waiting waiting waiting.... Even though I read the East Coast comments, spoilers don't seem to matter with this show. |
Wink | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 08:57 pm     Muse I think Andrea chose Kristian cause she's hoping to change his mind. He certainly looked very appealing in his beret tonite. |
Theowl | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Or maybe she picked him because he was the better of 2 evils. She didn't have much of a choice, since she didn't like the guy she was with. At least she could talk to Kristen.  |
Oregonfire | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 10:01 pm     Okay, what was that all about? Why did Andrea stay with that Kristen guy? What a glutton for punishment. She's now moved into the coveted "most annoying bachelorette" position. Why are these people so boring? I really liked Patrick--my type and all. Why did Michael plea to Rebekah when he was lucky to have a date with Karen? People never cease to amaze me. I do have to say, at least Rebekah's changing it up once in a while and keeping things interesting--though I think her biggest love affair so far is with the mirror. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 10:33 pm     First time seeing this and yes.. they all see pretty boring to me.. and the teacher with the large pink glasses.. uh?? |
Mssilhouette | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 10:35 pm     Okay since I missed the first show I haven't had time enough to remember the names cept for that Rebekah dealie girl. Henceforth they shall be known as: Paddin da ole Dowery MsMauled & MsUnderstood CowgirlRed BlondeCurly BlondeStraight Welp it's different than The Bachelor by leaps and bounds. But I suppose no one will do a date show without the promise of cash. Oh wait, yeah they did it was called "THE BACHELOR" The guys are OK looking I haven't seen any knockouts. But then the woman are pretty OKAY looking, which is fine, They look like real folks for the most part. Okay what's up with "Padding Da Ole Dowry"? Lordy, is she annoying. She fake giggly and extremely nosey. Yet and still guy's keep pleaing to her. So now MsMauled has won the award for telling them extreme exaggerations. What next. I might have to change her name to MsDrama. She's young and apparently has no idea how to push a guy away when he's leaning in the for the kiss. Which is not a being mauled. I got a sure cure for that, move and say NO. I think that her date was pretty..well um..did anyone else here the Banjo Duel song when he was talking. It wasn't just the twang it was the look in his eyes. Sheesh how'd he get past the background check? MsDrama/MsMauled rushing to someone who is either really shy or has barely any idea where he is or what he's doing, to tell that she was in trouble and the big bad man was trying to hurt her. I mean what did she expect him to do. Punch the guy out? I'll give to the production crew/editors for splicing in the footage of her getting that massage in the car. (Which looked pretty dang painful considering all he was doing was pinching her shoulder) What was with all the eye rolling or was that just pain cleverly disgused. Tip #2 If you're not enjoying something someone's doing to you. DO NOT PRETEND! Well enough of her, there be more about her next episode. CowgirlRed and her beau or MAN ON ICE are already acting like a married couple. He doesn't see them going anywhere and she wants her space. So he gives her space (about 4 feet away) while she laughs and jokes with the new guys. Afterwards in the cabin she talks about how she had fun and enjoyed the space but didn't WHA THE HECK!? Either you liked it or you didn't stop being wishy washy. He told you straight out that he didn't see anything in the future. So instead of letting him go on and enjoying the next week with a new guy what does she do....HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE! *Sigh* I see this coming to a bad end. I think I know why 3 outta the 5 women aren't married yet. Geez talk about figuring out what you want. The BlondeStraight and BlondeCurly seem to have it all down they stayed with the guys they had before and are getting to know them better. BlondeCurly seems to have the best shot at getting married. |
Realfan | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 09:16 am     ITA about BlondeCurly (Sissie) having the best shot at marrying one of these guys. Sissie's guy, Brent, seems so much more mature than most of these fellows--having been married and being a dad will do that to a guy. Cecile's date did seem weirdly creepy. Something inately scary about him. I have questions!! I had to leave the room a couple of times. If anyone can answer these, please let me know! 1) Did they ever show Cecile getting "mauled" (or French kissed) by her date? I remember the massage scene in the limo, but no kiss. 2) What did Rebekah's "man on ice" do to annoy everyone? I walked back into the room and they were talking about how he just had go be let go. I thought I had another question. If I think of it, I'll post it. Thanks in advance! |
Mssilhouette | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 09:21 am     Okay RealFan (what's ITA?) your answers are: #1) No they never showed anything beyond that massage #2) I don't know that he really did anything to annoy anyone. Maybe someone else saw something. |
Twiggyish | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 10:23 am     Rebecca is getting on my last nerve. My husband has a good name for her.. (pt) Sorry don't want to write that one out..LOL But, she is all over the men, but she has no intention on being serious with any of them. She is playing a game with them. They are stupidly falling for her. Michael was a shock! He completely ignored Karen (I think is her name) and went for Rebecca. (What a dork) I sort of liked him, even with his goofiness. |
Seamonkey | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 11:22 am     Massage guy did talk to the camera and other guys? about how he moved in stealth for the first kiss but for the second he thought she was loving it.. sounds like they weren't on the same wavelength.. And maybe she told the other guy she was "mauled" to deflect any reports from massage guy about what happened, or to keep the first guy? Ah well it was my first viewing too. All I can say is this is a very strange way of finding a mate |
Sunshinemiss | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 12:38 pm     I would like this show better if it was a little more relationship and less of the game show/contest aspect. Ok switch the guys and all that, and even the dowry thing is ok but the fish throwing and the "plea"s just make it seem really hokey. I am interested in the more personal aspects of it, in the Temptation Island/voyeuristic way. I don't have a problem with Rebekkah's flirtatiousness, but only if it is sincere, a true desire to get the know all of the guys. It seems to me to be more of a manipulation to mislead them into a plea that will increase her dowry (and no doubt her ego). I like Cissy and her guy, they seem very bonded already. I hope they make it. I wonder about the kiss thing with Cecelia too, as to whether there was just "much ado about nothing" to try to make her Man on Ice jealous or force they shy guy into making a move. The producers/editors didn't give us enough information to make an informed decision on that one. Yah he seemed a little slimy to me, attractive until he opened his mouth. Pilot? Not on a major airline I would wager. Bush pilot more likely. Karen has been very under the radar. Not enough face time to come to much of a conclusion about her. Andrea, give it a rest, if a guy tells you there is no long term prospect, take a hint! I have walked that road and it can be painful. Here's an opportunity to meet a bunch of other guys, and hey if Kristian changes his mind, there is always the telephone after the show. And it totally sends the wrong message if you are willing to stick around and be a puppy dog once you have been told that. In my opinion anyway. Can give the guy permission to mistreat you in effect, and they think you will put up with it. Grow a backbone and move on. Good show, could use some fine tuning. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 12:52 pm     Exactly, Sunshinemiss! I've walked that road too, and it is indeed painful and humiliating. Keeping Kristian smacks of desperation on Andrea's part, and lowers her property value, so to speak. You have to be willing to walk away and mean it, even if it's hard at first. |
Mamaanja | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 01:06 pm     I bet what's his name is a pilot for Alaska Airlines. Which is a semi-major airline in the western part of the U.S. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 03:55 pm     I totally agree Sunshinemiss.. seems so stilted.. fish throwing, and even the dates.. odd And those bizarre costumes the women wear to the meetings.. boo! |
