Roteach | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 04:07 pm     Erin was in the New England area this week. She threw out the first ball at the Red Sox game (there was a photo in the Boston Herald). The next day she was the ring announcer at Monhegan Sun boxing. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 09:26 pm     I have to chuckle every time I see remarks about those MILLION DOLLAR prizes. It says in the disclaimer at the end of each episode that the million dollar prizes are spread out over FORTY YEARS! For the $1 million prize, that's just $25,000 per year (before taxes!)...and for the $2 million prize it's $50,000/year. Yes, that's nothing to sneeze at...I know that *I'd* sure like an extra $25k/year until I'm 92 years old....but my point is that if one of the guys wins this game, he is NOT going home a "millionaire"! Using that formula, anyone that can earn $25,000 per year for 40 years could be referred to as a millionaire! |
Sia | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 12:50 am     Good point about the FLOM2 million not working out to an ENTIRE million dollars, SanFran, which makes me wonder about BigBrother4's Jee3 making a "deal" to give $50,000 to each of their two other buddies if one of them wins the $500K. So, are they figuring before taxes or after?! LOL, it would make a big difference. Has there been any mention on BB as to whether such talk about splitting the prize money is against the rules or not this year? Thanks for any info. |
Happymom | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:27 am     Frenchy, you're not alone in being annoyed by Erin's head turning! It drives me crazy! Because the article you mentioned with Erin makes it seem like she didn't end up with $ or a guy, that makes me think she got both! LOL! I wonder what they're going to do with Rob too. One would think this could be an interesting twist, but he was so boring on flom1 that I don't have big hopes that it will get more interesting. As for why they haven't been told about choosing between Erin and the $, I am not sure, but I think that in the first show, the girls were not told until there were only 3 of them left. |
Kizz | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Nobody watching tonight on the east coast? Ended here a little while ago (the show ran 70 minutes BTW). Rob was introduced as "someone from Erin's past", no elaboration, but on the previews they show Rob at what looks like an elimination (but could be the beginning of next week, the end of this week's elim) as Rob tells her in that horrible annoying monotone "Ahm just crazee abaht yew" GAG. Love it tho... but she better pick Chad...love me some Chad. Those lips of his...mmmm mmm. |
Abby7 | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:37 pm     Anyone: who was eliminated tonight? |
Gemma120in2002 | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Greg was eliminated. I thought for a second that she had actually developed some sense and some taste. But no, she kept Eric. He could teach a course on smarminess. Seamonkey, you're right he does keep getting creepier and creepier. Sanfran, you also hit it on the head. He does look very much like Will Kirby, but Will had a 'what-the-he**' attitude about so many things. He was manipulative without being obsequious. I respected that. LOL! Eric shows no integrity in his deceptiveness or manipulation! (I can't believe I actually typed that crap, but it's the best way I can describe what I mean.)OMG! I need therapy. |
Seamonkey | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Urk.. yes I was really hoping Eric would be OUT tonight.. And Rob.. just hated to see him show up. |
Marameko | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:29 am     Eric is a whiner and that oily hair. I felt bad for Greg he never got to strut his stuff. Didn't they look kinda silly sitting in the couch waiting for the phone to ring ? I'm rooting for Wade,he seems like a gent. It was actually kinds spooky to see Rob standing at the top of those stairs. |
Madelane | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:35 am     I keep forgetting to mention how hilarious the open of this show is. "But what THEY don't realize is that she knows what they believe they don't know and she THINKS she knows what they will soon find out..." It goes on forever - I clocked it at three minutes of explanation by the narrator last night. Add Rob to the intro "And THEY don't know HIS motives but HE knows what SHE knows, although SHE may be confused about what HE knows..." and the show will be like an hour and a half next week. |
Mack | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:31 am     Erin looked about as happy as somebody who'd just been told she had some terrible health condition when Rob showed up. What a dud! They've got to be paying him to appear...I can't believe that any human was subject themselves to this for free. And why she kept Eric....God only knows. My wife thinks he's "throw away material" for Erin and that she's really going for Chad. Eric may last another show only because she'll want to get Rob out of there ASAP. |
Grooch | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:41 am     Mack, didn't they film the second FLOM before the first one came out? Right now, (on FLOM2) Rob has no idea how horrible he came across to the viewing public. Otherwise, I doubt he would have showed up to do this second one. (Though you never know with Rob.) |
Mack | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:43 am     You're probably right about the filming but he was still rejected by Erin. I mean....I would rather become a monk than go back to a "broken" relationship. Of course, in my case, I've had the tendency to marry my mistakes....with the exception of my DW....I finally got it right!!! :-) |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:13 am     I'm wondering if Rob will know about the 2 million and this way Erin can pick Rob and he can say yes to her and they can split the money -- a sure thing? I don't know. I hope she picks Chad. I like him best. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:05 pm     I hope Rob and Eric hook up and go away in one of those yellow cabs. |
Kellee | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:50 pm     Okay have to say I really havent watched this show much..maybe flipped to it during the comericals during Paradise Hotel..but I have to say I totally thought it was preiceless when Erin is there telling Greg that he never opened up to her..she never got to know the real him...and his reply that pretty hard to do that when you dont have a date was PERFECTION...I thought god can this girl be more dumb ..she never gave him a chance and she blamed HIM for that???? |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 01:32 pm     i am having trouble getting into this show. i did watch the last half hour last night. i have also watched parts of each show. i think eric is the paige of L&M2. i didnt like paige. i knew she would be the emotional, immature one at the end. since the beginning of L&M2, i have felt eric will be the emotional, immature one at the end of this one. it was so obvious he would be around for awhile. rob was on E! News Live. his hair was awful and that voice just is a big turn off. |
Catfat | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 02:54 pm     Erin was on Regis and Kelli yesterday morning and 90% of the segment was filled with Kelli flapping on about the concept of the show, trying to explain it to Regis. Several times Erin would open her mouth to say something but Kelli just wouldn't shut up. Gawd, she is annoying. By contrast, Erin came off as a really class act. Why doesn't Gellman tell Kelli to just shut up when a guest is being interviewed? |
Hoosiergirl | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:17 pm     Bbfanatic: I had the same though about Eric...the male Paige. Especially when he spent the entire day in bed because he didn't get a call for a date. Pleeeessse. I wasn't on this board for LOM1, but my impression of Rob the very first show was that he must be an ineffective defense attorney. I can't believe he didn't prepare a short statement for each young lady at the elimination (even repeating himself), inarticulate, and worse of all, BORING. I've always wondered if Paige really fell in love with him...and WHY? Where the heck did they find this drip? I can't believe he was the "best of the best" of those they interviewed. And then that whole scandal came out about his Marine Corps discharge and frankly, I was not surprised. Does he HONESTLY think that he has a snowball chance in hell of even getting Erin's attention again? This should be interesting. I hope. |
B4ugogo | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 07:43 am     Hi All, I swore I wouldn't watch this season, but I was channel surfing and stumbled upon flom2 on Monday. I watched 'cause Wade seems relatively intelligent and pretty handsome. Does anyone know anything about him from those short descriptions they give in the first episode. Oh, and that whinny kid and Rob didn't make me feel I missed much by not watching til now. Thanks |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 04:34 pm     there's a spoiler in the tvguide.com description for the episode after next (the 25th)...so if you don't want to know, don't highlight this.... The final three men take Erin on overnight dates in hopes of making the top two. But will Rob be able to convince her that he's the one, even after losing her the first time around? (this means Rob is NOT eliminated next week) |
Realfan | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:44 pm     <<Does anyone else think she looks like an anorexic Sandra Bullock?? >> ME!! Have from Day One, Frenchy. Great post. I have also come to the conclusion, after watching my tape of the episode, that Erin has all the personality of a dead animal floating in a swimming pool. I never hear her say anything funny or interesting. All she does is parrot what her date said. "Yeah, it's been nice," "Yeah, I think so, too," tilt-head-and-nod. Not that she deserves Rob. I'm think instead of THEM paying HIM to return, Out-of-work Lawyer Rob (first cousin of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer) threatened to sue them because they caused him to lose his job (or rather the publicity did). So instead of dealing with a frivolous lawsuit and the resulting bad publicity, the producers figured out a way to bring him back into the show toward the end of filming (the first show could have begun airing, after all--these guys get no TV). I felt so bad for Greg. Like you, Kellee, I loved his comeback to her at the elimination about how could she get to know him, when they never went on any dates! Snap! All she could reply was that she wanted the ring back. Any of the remaining three (NOT counting Eric) are head and shoulders above Rob as gentlemen bachelors. Wade or Chad could SO carry their own Bachelor-style shows (both are HOT! and have personality, too!). Rob looks like a frickin' Neanderthal next to them. On the above spoiler, how do we know Rob's not eliminated at the end? He still could be. Unless the producers are giving him the advantage of not being up for elimination. Ugh, he's so gross. He didn't even shave and he looks like a head waiter in that white jacket! BWAH! I think he's secretly Joe Millionaire's brother. |
Monkeyboy | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 11:55 am     All i have to say about Wilson's spoiler is UGH! |
Seamonkey | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 06:50 pm     And as so often happens, Seamonkey agrees with Monkeyboy. UGH |
Frenchy | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 06:56 pm     Oh lord!! I hate that there is a possibility that Rob will be sticking around til close to the end of this show!!! I am about ready to snap!!! Man! There is just nothing that the producers can come up with involving him that I would enjoy!!! Oh man!!! Am I also the only one who thinks that Wade looks like Chris Isaak? And Kizz....Chad's lips DO look quite kissable! hahha!! But he needs to do something with that hair!!!!! Him and Chris must go through a sh*t load of gel between the two of them!!! |
