Is it me, or is it just my age? I thought several of the outfits selected by the men were simply hideous!! My husband commented that one outfit, a very short skirt and tarty blouse looked like something our daughter would put on her Barbie doll. Then DH said when the second date was shown, "Geez, they ARE dressing up a Barbie doll!"

I don't believe that ALL those guys selected exactly the right sizes for each item. What do you bet that an AP had to exchange lots of garments for the exact right size. No way could that many men have selected the correct size 100% of the time!

My opinions of the remaining guys:

Dominic - Too young, but still my second favorite. He'd be good to date, but not to marry (yet).

Evan - Still a player. I just get the impression that he gets by on his charisma.

Hank - My favorite, although I don't think he'll win since he's not as conventionally good-looking as Evan or Dominic. But he and Lisa seem to genuinely enjoy spending time together, and not just on a friendship level. I didn't get the fuss about the kiss, since it seemed nice enough to me. Laura apparently wanted a full make-out session, which would be strange with Hank (at this point, with the cameras there).

Joe - Something about him rubs me the wrong way. I think it's just that he's trying too hard...like I thought the gondola idea was a little cheesy (maybe because I've seen them on too many dating shows :)). And his repeated references to marrying Lisa seemed a bit too much, too soon.

Ken - Seems SO nice. I was happy that this date went better, but ultimately it seems clear that Lisa's not terribly interested.

Paul - I agree that he's there to promote his play and himself. Rumor is that Lisa did the show because she's interested in doing some modeling (she was turned down by agencies since she's too short at 5'8), so I could probably overlook that if there was a strong connection there. But I don't see that, either.

Rendo - Seems fun, but he's still a street hustler. And thus probably not the best match for someone like Lisa. He needs a more laid-back woman who has more of a goofier side.

Robert - I almost hope he stays a little longer, since his dates are the funniest. But obviously -- he's weird, and there because he wants to be an actor.

Um, I can understand purchasing an outfit for Lisa, but buying her underwear gave me SERIOUS douche chills!!

That said, my two cents....

Dominic - Nice guy, but too young....who knows, maybe he is ready to get married, but not the guy for Lisa. Loved the outfit he chose for her for their date though.

Hank - Everything about him screams 1950. I felt more passion from a turnip than I did from their date. I'm sorry if the following comment is offensive, but I feel that he uses his loss of loved ones to gain points.....do we have to hear about it on EACH and EVERY date?! Bottom line, I find him bland and boring; unfortunately, America will choose him for Lisa.

Renda - I will give him points for creativity, but I can't get over the fact that he has no real job. And the outfit he chose for her was horrible!

Ken - DROOL! Me likee his height and body - MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! Wha? Oh, I'm back. Anyway, who'da thunk it....this date was actually fun; I agree with Laura though, he should be sleep-deprived more often.

Evan - The date/outfit was really cute, but I'm still not feeling him....can't get past the fact that he put Laura in his lap at the house, joke be damned.

Robert - Okay, the joke is over America....you can't really be serious about this man, can you? HUH?! He has PSYCHO written on his frickin' forehead, for chrissakes! The outfit! The tears! The sniffing of underwear! WTF?! WTF?! He is beyond skeevy and needs to be the next one eliminated.....WTF?!

Paul - I'm not getting the vibe that Laura seems to be feeling regarding him using her to further his career....but, I could be wrong. All I see is a nice guy who could use a wardrobe overhaul.

And finally, saving the best for last....Joe!! If Lisa and Company don't want him then please, Fed-Ex him overnight to me! This man is exactly what she is looking for....he's got the love of family, they share the same values and most importantly he is attentive to her needs. Since the show has gone live, I have noticed that he always acknowledges Laura and Kimberly during the critique, very gentlemanly. However, I agree with Kimberly about the short-fuse incident in the store, I hope he doesn't have a quick temper; if he does, then maybe the love of a good woman (*me, cough, cough!) would calm him down. And his ending comment about wanting to take her to Venice for a real gondola ride brought out a swooning "Awwww!" from me and my cousin. In fact, he is always making "Awwww!" comments about Lisa....just how it should be.

Please, please America, put Robert out of his misery and let him go home next week. I felt so sorry for him with all the audience laughing during the airing of his date. He may be very sincere about his infatuation with Lisa, but it is cruel to keep his hopes up like this.

Again, for marriage material, Joe & Hank would be my top picks. For "messing around", Evan & Dominic. For friendship, Renda. Still haven't figured out Ken - but I think that there isn't any chemistry.

The difficult part is the editing. We are only seeing what the director wants us to see. Oh, I'm sure the boys were told what size(s) that Lisa wears. Size zero??? I knew she was slender, but at 5'8" that is down right way too skinny. Serious bone-sticking-out issues. How about some workouts with some weight training to build up her muscles (and her bone mineral density). Oh, sorry, just the health professional in me coming out.

I don't get why Renda is still here... Joe as stated before NOT! Robert A needs to be escorted gently to the door and get some help to work on getting himself together...nobody really stands out to me, so I may or may not continue to watch. Very glad the slimey guy got voted off though. Well done America!

I'm with Muse about Joe -- he seems a bit too slick for me and I'm not understanding the love everyone seems to have for him. He's also too short for her. :)

Robert A is pathetic. He sprays her underwear with perfume and then smells them? She's supposed the wear these underwear that have never been washed but sprayed with lord-knows-what? He's totally there to build a hollywood career (see my post above about seeing him on Last Comic Standing). There's no doubt in my mind that the guys were told what size she wore.

Hank might be the best husband material but he looks boring. I'd have to gamble and go with Evan or Dominic -- both hot and cute and maybe not ready for marriage...

Wow, poor Robert A. He's still my personal fave, but for Lisa I'm leaning towards Evan!

Joe kind of lost his front running status with me this week. He's cute and sweet and a family man but not right for Lisa at all. Somewhere out there the right girl is just waiting for a sweetie like him that will make a terrific husband. And someone he actually has some chemistry with!

Paul is still seeming very swarmy to me. He just seems so much into himself. I think he's very much aware of how he's coming off for the cameras. I don't think he's serious about the whole thing.

Ken is a real sweetie and just right for someone else but not Lisa.

Hank is just very dull. I don't see what the fuss is about him. I also don't think he's all that cute anymore, but then I like Robert A. so I guess I'm a little nuts.

Dominic being too young was so obvious tonight. He's not even close to husband material. And I think he relies too much on drinking for his dates.

Lisa's chemistry is definitely with Evan! I really do believe he's thinking he's ready for marriage. And alot of times those wild guys settle down instantly when they make the real commitment. I love his sense of humor.

Renda is still a sweet adorable college boyfriend type. It would be fun to hang out with him but marriage is another thing . He needs a type more like himself. Earthy, co-op health food store, birkenstock wearing, alternative lifestyle etc... Which is a good thing but not right for Lisa.

Robert is still my personal fave. I think it's hilarious that people think he's a stalker or psycho. I just see him as maybe very lonely and sensitive ( with a hilarious sense of humor ). I really don't think Lisa is willing to give him up yet until they have a semi-normal date. I guess I love rooting for the underdog, plus he has very expressive eyes. lol

I think the date idea this week was very entertaining and the best outfits were Evan's and Paul's ( although I don't like him , nice outfit )
Also Dominic's pj's were kind of cute, lol And of course most unique would have to be Robert A's mirrored shoes and yellow shiny shirt dress lol.

I'd say Dominic, Paul or Joe should be voted off next week.

I saw Robert A on the tail end of a Blind Date episode. He had a hot tub session with a blond woman, and the last thing you see is them going into the bedroom and the woman yelling out, "time for you to get naked!"

Miggles just confirmed it -- Robert A is a reality TV ***** -- he's been on 3 shows so far!

Personally, I'd take Ken. He's my kind of man. I do like either Hank or Joe for Lisa though. The rest need to be dumped (especially weird old Robert A!)

Personally, you would have to fight me for Ken Merrywidow! LOL.

I think Hank is the man for Lisa...they fit. She seems like a nurturer, and he seems like he needs nurturing.

Joe is okay, but he rubs me the wrong way. He just seems like he could be a bit of a bully.

Dominic seems like he has filled out in the face a bit since last week. He's a cutie but he is not the one.

Evan is attractive enough, but still seems like a ladies man that ain't through with the ladies.

Robert is just solely there for entertaining us. I am telling you if I had to go out with the guy, it would only be once, then I would change my phone number and pretend not to be home when he started peeking through the windows for the next 3 weeks. He may not be like this, but that is the vibe that I get. I did feel a bit sorry for him last night, but the panty perfume spraying gave me the heebie jeebies!

Renda-meh
Paul-ditto

Now, give me strong, brainy, built, sturdy, tall, volleyball playing, take charge kind of guy that can pick out a dress any day of the week!!!

can someone tell me why america keeps voting for Robert??

Who cares if he's a nice guy and a real person and all that. Isn't really truly obvious that lisa and him don't have ANY chemistry?

I mean this isn't a popularity contest right? its about who would be right for Lisa and there are obviously a few guys who do click...why waste a vote on someone who obviously doesn't click? Good guys will be leaving to keep this person who would make a terrible husband FOR LISA just because america thinks he's hansome or feels sorry for him....common thats lame!
I'm so frustrated that Canadians can't vote! He would NOT be the one I'd vote for thats for sure

I Saw Robert A on Access Hollywood today. He was Arnold's body double on T-3. Robert A says that Lisa reminds him a lot of Maria Shriver & would really like to end up with her. He also talked a little about his dates with her. Usually what is shown on Access Hollywood is also shown on Extra or Entertainment tonight (I forget which one) later the same day. Check it out.

Lisa said it herself that she hopes she's the one for Evan! So there are still guys there right for Lisa. Robert A. is entertaining and they edit him to be. They want people to think he's a stalker or psycho to create some drama in the show. lol He is someone that has been on a couple shows but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any real feelings, lol. Really, the guys voted off so far have been the right choices.

Thanks for the heads up on the Robert interview Keepers. :-)

Does anyone remember the name of the wine they were talking about in the show on the 12th?
thanks!

The only thing I remember is the champagne Cristal. It it pricey and not an everyday luxury (unless you are a star where they have it on keg). We have had it on our anniversary and you can get a bottle at wholesalers for about 78.00 (depending on year). They also make some wines, but they aren't as famous.

"Had a great time Lisa, will never forget the time" She gets up gives him a big hug, says she is stunned. She is visibly shaken. Doesn't understand what America is thinking. THere is others up there with less of a connectcion, people up there who shouldn't be. Laura says, Robert should have been gone not Paul, she had a connection with him. Kimberly: Can't understand how America did this to Lisa. (Laura is so full of it, she hated Paul)

Dates include having 4 kids with them to see how they are with kids since Lisa is ready to start a family. 1st: Dominic, he seems to have fun, but the kids are kind of out of control. Dom admits he is not ready to have kids. One of the boys says he would not be a good dad. Laura tells him, no way is he ready, he had no control, kids need supervision. She & Dom argue a bit, Kimberly basically says the same thing, he isn't ready, Lisa is, etc. Lisa says about the same, she is ready in the near future to have kids & she doesn't see that kind of commitment from him. Maybe he can show her something next week. She looks disappointed in him.

Evan next. He is going to try to turn them into ninjas, teach them karate moves. THe kids seem to enjoy it. They bring Lisa in then try to teach her moves. They do look like they are having fun. He sneaks in a kiss. He does have them under control. Girls says, they are so cute & Evan could be a great dad. Laura: Said evan came through, he had a fun loving spirit, they respected him, would make an amazing dad. Kimberly: Evan should not be in bottom 3. He was great, had kids under control etc. EVAN: Some day i want ninjas of his own. Lisa: Evan is one of my favorites, America, please vote for him.
