YES! Will wedding bells ring????????????????????????

Here's something interesting. At the poll right now we have 10 people picking Hank for the win and 7 for Robert. Its interesting that so many are picking Robert.

Woot! Woot! Hank said no to marriage now? Yaaaaaay!

I didn't want Hank to win, but now that he's said no, I'm so excited and don't mind that he won. Lisa deserves what she got. I wonder if she's disappointed!

Ok...Lisa and Hank are happy happy! The money...he wont do it for money..cause he really cares for Lisa. They want a private life...she didnt care for the money either.3


She would have said no to Robert. Not for a million dollars!! lol

I'm confused...do they still get the money? Or was the deal the money and a t.v. wedding?

My honest feeling was that Hank was carried away by the show. He was thrilled to be competing against other men. Although he had feelings for Lisa, I'm afraid the feeling was only driven by his desire to beat the other men in the game. Now that he's won, he's realized what he's gotten himself into and isn't willing to take the plunge. He got the thrill he wanted already.

Too bad, Lisa...!

Brian, the emcee, seemed to be a little annoyed with Hank. He made a comment to him about the fact that he knew what he was getting into from the start. Lisa said that she and Hank had talked about it ahead of time but she seemed disappointed to me.

Is he nuts? Granted it is not the ideal setting for a wedding...but good grief 1 million dollars is a lot of money...especially when you are starting out.

They could have been married and then had a nice reception at another time for family/friends.

I can wait to see if this relationship works out.

I agree Brian seemed to be annoyed at the situation and Lisa did indeed look a little "off".

Sooooo- I guess Hank wasn't a creep only interested in a million dollars! Lisa seemed pretty happy to me- what a crappy wedding that would have been if they had done it on TV!

Told ya Hank would win no matter what. The stuff about what other guys said about him in the house was just to throw everyone off, otherwise it would be too predictable.

I find it very heartening that pretty well everyone when put to the test will NOT get married on national television- OK well, maybe Trista and Ryan.....

boo hiss....Brian wasn't the only one annoyed with Hank. That had to be the worst of the worst finales to a reality show.......no payoff. Now, I kind of 'get' what they're thinking but are they idiots??? You can have a 'real' wedding for the families later....I guess I'm a little more practical there....he bugs me.....sucked the fun right out of the end. I thought Lisa was committed to marriage on the show.....oh well, should've expected it....bet there won't be a season two. I do wish them the best tho and hope it works out.

Have to agree, it would have been a cheesy tv wedding....not much creativity in the end but still....sheesh...I just wasn't feeling the romance/magic....hope they are

Yeah, but only if you pay them $1,000,000! Those two have to be the biggest reality show prostitutes out there!

I was annoyed with them. Now I'm just bored.

Bull! What was all of that drama about who she would pick and who the audience would choose if he had no intent to marry her? Hank is full of it. You could see he was nervous to death. His hands were shaking as would a nervous wreck's.

Well, at the end, here's my opinion: I just think Hank from the start got carried away with the competition. I think it ties in with the whole ownership attitude he seems to have. He didn't want anyone else to have Lisa. He fell in love with her in the process, but it was really the game and not true love as he thought.

Some of you say, 'Oh, that couldn't be. I mean, why wouldn't he just get married and take the money?"

Well, it isn't that easy. That's what makes this show special. Unlike other reality shows that automatically give the reward to both contestants, this show obliged both to stay commited maritally for one year. That's asking a lot for most people ... it wouldn't be so easy for Hank, even if it was a clear case of no affections. (Or maybe he was so disappointed that they couldn't throw this lavish wedding (e.g., Race To The Altar) for him and his bride.)

If I'm wrong about Hank's motive, then I would venture to say that Lisa did not from the start want to get wedded. She entered the show with intent to get publicity and help further her career.

Speaking of ... what is up with her tomboyish walk? Is it just me or what? LOL! If she gets accepted by a modelling agency, she'll have to work on her walk and posture.

Sorry to the producers of the show for the huge disappointment. Perhaps it would have been nicer if they asked the bride first before asking the groom, so it would have been a bigger shock if Lisa had said yes but Hank said no. We would also know if she really wanted to get married (or if she's just covering her a$$). I guess they weren't so creative in this show. I'm happy he said no, even though the show wasn't as fun as it could have been.

P.S. Did anyone else notice how much Hank had trouble making eye contacts with Lisa, even during the so-called wedding? I see this one going down the toilet. I hope someone keeps us updated on the so-called relationship.

Well one thing I wonder about - what if she really wanted Hank in part because THEY would be getting a million bucks... "The man AND the money..." - I mean if she truely was in it just for him and not for the money - she should have said last week that she was picking Hank no matter what and that the vote wouldn't matter. Ya know? I think a big part of her attraction to Hank was thinking about being with him AND having a million to spend together.

It would have been alot more interesting if Robert had won and SHE would have turned down a million and chosen Hank. The way it turned out was not really that interesting at all. There's no reason they couldn't have concidered that wedding a token wedding and then had a real one later....

We think that Hank really took most of the people there by surprise with that one. Laura and Kimberley both looked and acted as though they thought that he was going to marry her if he was the choice (if they knew it didn't matter, then they were awful nervous about Robert winning). Her father made a nice speech about Hank, and the emcee looked stunned and appalled by Hank's decision. Lisa covered well, but I'm not sure they really discussed it ahead of time. I agree that Hank probably just got caught up in the thrill of the competition and lost sight of what the "prize" was. If they truly are in love, they are crazy not to take the $million and then have another proper ceremony later. What did they think the whole premise of the show was? Also, notice how Hank's family was no where to be seen??? Terrible ending for the producers as well.

SIMON, SIMON, SIMON.... tsk, tsk, tsk.. did somebody forget to think this show through to the end??

All together now, can you say...ANTI-CLIMACTIC!!

Wow dumbest reality show ending ever!!! I don't believe for a second that Hank and Lisa will stay together! My little baboo Robert lucked out by not winning, he's a sweetie and deserves a woman that truly cares for him. Hank and Lisa are a couple of arrogant snobs, I don't care if they stay together or not. Evan was too free spirited and fun loving for the likes of Lisa, he comes out a winner too. And Dominic didn't have me fooled for a second that he was ready for marriage but it's great he admitted it, he comes out a winner also.

Double thumbs down for Hank and Lisa and I'll be a Robert and Evan fan forever, lol.
