Thanks you two!!!

Vic picked right. Just because he wouldn't be eliminated tonight, didn't mean he was going to make it to the end. I didn't see anything in her statements that made it seem like she was super into him.

So, what up with Eric? Why does she like him so much? He reminds me of the guy everyone wanted in highschool. By the time you finish college, you want a more manly man. Kind of reminds me of the guys in the teenybop mags. LOL, oh well. I assume we will see his cumuppance. They (the editors) wouldn't have set him up for such a fall otherwise. (IMO)

I haven't watched this show too much, but whenever I tune in, I always see Erin wearing the same brown jacket. She wore it during the first "season" and she wears it on almost every episode this time (from what I've seen). I couldn't help but think, in the real world, we all would do the same thing--who owns a closet full of jackets? But I find it kind of odd that they couldn't supply her with a bigger wardrobe.

I like Chad the best. I think he is adorable and the most real.

Yes but I still think they are all doing the same thing Erin did, keep the money in mind, and they are playing her for the money. Esp Eric, he just has all the right moves and words, and then he comes across as creepy in those DR type entries!!

Wonder how Rob will spoil it - - how many more episodes are they stretching this out to?

Also, for the 2 million is there ever a chance she could lose the original 1 million? Or is that safe - or was it "double or nothing"?

It's supposed to be double or nothing, Reader.

I think I'd probably like Eric more if I didn't know about his "Meet My Folks", "I'm a virgin" stuff. I do agree, Gina, that they are editing him for a fall which is fine by me. I like Chad the best and Vic as well. But I agree that Vic was right in removing himself from the competition -- I don't think she ever would have picked him. But he should have held out for more cash. LOL!

Forgot to add -- I laughed when I saw her wearing the tube top! I never would have noticed if you guys hadn't pointed it out...

I don't really understand what they can do with Rob, or why they would want to do anything with him for that matter!

If they reveal that Erin wins $2 million if the guy chooses her, then that means that the guy knows he'll have spending money whether he picks Erin or not, which kind of ruins the point of the game!

And if they don't reveal Erin wins $2 million the only shock is that she's been through the process before. They'll understand why she rejected Rob the minute they meet him :).

I loved Erin's line at the end, something like "what does he [Rob] think he's doing?".

I want Munch back!!!!

And what a fool that guy was to take the 10K...they virtually told them they were gonna go higher (they said something like, we'll START at 10 grand). I loved how he tried to make it seem he purposefully took ONLY 10K not the 25K that was gonna be offered because he didn't feel he was right for her. Ya right. He was too stupid to wait lolol.

And with Rob it made me wonder if it's all a setup (since a lot of this show has sounded scripted for both seasons). If she takes him in the end and the split the 2 mil then the first one seems less skeevy maybe. You know an "and they lived happily ever after" type thing. Ya right.

Must say Chad seems like a really nice guy...so I'm sure he'll be toast too. Sigh.

I just finished watching last night's episode. Something struck me as I was watching this one. I have never liked Eric....he seemed just a little bit smarmy and disingenuous to me. So of course, I apprecaited the fact that the other guys seemed to have a similar opinion. When they were all saying that he was "rubbing it in" about going to the hot tub with Erin and also stuff like saying he was "two faced", "sneaky", had a "hidden agenda" and was being "strategic", I just cracked up. It suddenly dawned on me who he reminded me of.....Dr Evil (Will on Bb2)! They do have a resemblance both physically and in the personality department.

I don't know if this resemblance has been brought up earlier in this thread (I didn't read the whole thing) but now his Dr Evil similarity seems (to me) to be really obvious!

Does anyone else see this resemblance?

Wow Sanfran!!!! You really hit the nail on the head...I kept saying he looks familiar...his actions disgusted me...and his hair is WAY too greasy...I prefer to run my fingers through a guys hair without having to rub the gunk off on a towel....but yes...Will incarnate!!!

There you go!! Dr Evil, would love to know if Eric is a BB fan!! ROfLOL!!

Thanks, Sanfran - it was driving me crazy.

He's more like Dr. Will Lite, though.

I hate that greasy hair look! Just makes him look more weaselly. Blech!

Yes, the resemblence is there. He was a contestant on Meet the Parents too. That in itself is very telling. He did not come looking for love, he came to be on a TV show. He has an agenda for career in the media.

He's another Toni.Reality show groupies. I'm looking for her to be on the up-coming Temp. Island. If she is, I wonder WHO will be tempted by her. LOL!! Maybe if Eric goes off the show in the next week or so, he'll show up on Temp. Island, too!! Then him and Toni can compare notes.

Regarding Rob (the dud) and his return:

How's this? That the decision is out of Erin's hands until the final two.

That every elimination will be up to the men. They will be offered more (and more) money to drop out? (Vic - you need to LISTEN more carefully)

I think the spots said that Rob is "putting himself back in the running" What, like he's a better catch this time around? Not in this lifetime buddy.

But how will they explain how the two know each other? More questions!

If I had known that Rob would be included in the second part of this series, I would have avoided it like the plague. Sigh..

Ice & Sanfran.. I agree--- He looks just like Dr. Will. You are right!

Will was better looking - though I admit, there's is a definate resemblance. Will never looked oily. Will also carried himself better, this guy is twitchy. I surprised Erin isn't bothered by it.

shelb724, you asked "what did she do to rob????"

this is Love or Money 2. In Love or Money 1, Rob had his choice of women. Erin was the one he chose in the end..but she chose the Million instead of him so he lost out. Then she was offered this show if she gave up the million. If she gets the guy to choose her over the money she gets her original million plus a second million.

Hope that answers your question. Welcome to this site. We are glad to have you :)

I don't think Erin did anything "to" Rob. It appeared that she did not feel as strongly towards him as he did her....and who in their right mind would give up a million bucks for a guy that you hardly know (a few random dates often shared with others over a few weeks) and were not in love with? I sure wouldn't.

Besides, I wonder if it had been up to Rob to pick Erin OR the money...would he have picked Erin? Who knows? Finding true love in these shows is a totally random shot in the dark. That money is most likely going to last longer than a relationship made under such extreme stressful conditions on a dating show. I would think that the whole Krista thing finding her soulmate on Bachelorette was a real fluke.

No guy in their right mind would chose Erin over 1 million dollars.... unless of course they are absolutely insane! Can't wait to see how this one ends.... :)

I am still in shock that she agreed to do this show in the first place... I mean, if they had offered 10 million instead of 1, then maybe. But give it up just to double your winnings and get a guy?? Hello??? Go home a millionaire girl, invest your earnings...and as for the boy?? Sweatheart, you will have MORE than your fair share of fellas wanting your attention now that you have $$ and have been on national TV!! So... I still do not even get how they get her to do it. I read an article on her in US WEEKLY, and she basically said that she regretted her decision and that the producers had only given her like 24 hours to consider their offer, and that if she had had more time to think it over, she would have likely just refused the show and gone home with her million. Oh.....but greed is a powerful evil!! :)So, the article did not make it sound like she even ends up with $$ or a guy!! Hmmmm.... Guess will will soon find out!!!
I am confused about a couple of things on the show at the moment:
1- What ARE they gonna do with Rob?
2- Why is it that the guys have not yet been told that, in the end, they will be forced to choose between Erin and the money...and not go home with both, as they were originally told? Is this not what they did the first time with the gals? Initially told them that if Rob picked them, they would go home with the boy and $$, and then later said that they would have to choose? Why has this not been offered to the men yet?
3-Am I the ONLY one annoyed with the fact that Erin turns her head to the side and looks up in the air EVERY time she laughs??? And can somebody PLEASE hand her a few Big Macs?? The girl is wasting away!!! Does anyone else think she looks like an anorexic Sandra Bullock??

Well, that is all I have to say about that! :)

People magazine also has a one pager on her this week. I didn't realize that her father is a former San Fran 49er quarterback (John Brodie).

Under love life it says she is single "since jilting Campos" (no mention of a new man from this show)

also implies that had she had time to think it over she may not have done it..she says "I look back and think..what was I thinking!"

Under where she's headed..it says she quit her job to be in the sequel and is now LA bound to possibly pursue TV work as she "can't just freeload off my parents anymore". No mention of being two million dollars richer or having a man in her life to share it with.
