Lori | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:10 pm     Wade and Chad chatting about winning a million - 50% chance. Talking about how good friends they are. They have a meeting with Jordan. They are waiting for the "twist"! Jordan tells them one of them is a millionare. He shows them the checks. Jordan tells them "what I am going to tell you will change everything! commercial |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:14 pm     i wonder if these guys have already figured out that the twist is going to be a CHOICE, not both erin and the money. lori, it just kills me how the "world" doesn't know how to schedule "life" around tv reality show finales! lol |
Lori | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:16 pm     Wade and Chad are told that if they are chosen...they will have to make a choice - the woman or the money, not both. They are told if they choose the money they cannot see or speak to Erin again. If they choose Erin, they will walk out with empty pockets but a great woman. |
Idolworship | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:18 pm     Thanks, Abby, Lori, and Dana, for the spoiling. All of us, in the Pacific time zone are grateful, I'm sure. |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:18 pm     I can help out for little bit Lori/Abby, don't know if I can stick around for the whole show, but can help for a while. |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:19 pm     Idol: sorry, i can't take credit. i'm on the west coast. i'm grateful along with you! |
Kellsma | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:20 pm     I thank you too. I just hate waiting to find out on finale night. My family gets so mad at me!I saw Wade and Chad on Regis this morning and I think whomever was chosen took the money. They both seemed in great moods! |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:22 pm     thanks essence. |
Lori | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:22 pm     LOL...I know life gets in the way of my reality t.v. Both guys are really bummed. Wade said if neither one feels a tie with Erin, they both could be going for the money. Wade said he is confused...tough decision. Guys discussing the situation. They think Erin may also get the choice - the guys or the money. They definitely feel something else is going on. They suspect Erin may be playing a game. They're talking about only having like 5 dates with them...like a total of 10-12 hours. Talking about how a million dollars is a lot of money. Boy are they agonizing over this...both guys. Chad saying Erin has to show him they have a connection. |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:22 pm     Now they are trying to figure out what Erin's choice may be. If she has the same choice to make as them, or if she's playing them. Wade says if she's playing a game, it's a good one because he's falling for it. She possesses qualities he's looking for in a soul mate. Chad says she's a special person. Has lots of adjectives for her, but questions if it's real. He thinks there's a real deep connection between them. Wade says he's leaning toward Erin. Thinks she's a great person. BUT, she really has to show me something tonight. Show me that there is some kind of connection. |
Lori | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:24 pm     gotta go pick up my son. Should be back within a half hour so I can watch the good part of the show. Keep spoiling for me Essence! |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:27 pm     oooh, sounds like one will take the money. (now if we follow past editing...that means one won't take the money!). nah, i can't believe that one will take erin over the money. no way. |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:28 pm     thanks lori! |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:32 pm     Erin shows up at the house to spend time with both of them. She feels Wade would pick her and thinks there could be a possible relationship with Chad. Wade says again she needs to show me something. Chad says if he doesn't feel what he needs to feel then it will be easier to take the money. She's having dinner with both of them. Chad asks her...What do you want to do as soon as you get out of here?...Erin says...visit my sister in Chicago. I would love to travel. Her ideal situation would be to come out of this with a solid relationship. (He's trying to get a feel for what she would do with the money.) She flips the question to the two guys... Chad can't think of anything, so Wade jumps in and says he knows what Chad is thinking. They are on the same page, so he answers for the both of them...Wade says he wants a firm relationship...means more to him than anything. Chad feels the same exact way. Wade keeps telling her that she's a loyal honest person. Alone time with Wade... |
Lovedana | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:33 pm     Actually, I won't be surprised if one takes Erin. Unlike Paige or the contestant on FLOM 1 (forget his name), I think Erin is smarter at reading people. She would know to pick the gullible guy. If she failed to do so, it would be funnier to me. However, I do hope and wish that she'll get rejected. |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:36 pm     Wade... Said again that Erin needs to show him something. He tells her she is a special person. Erin says this is a weird situation for her. She says she wants to tell him everything, but she's hesitant to tell him everything. It's hard for her because she's never been in this situation before. He's talking about a date they had where he tried to kiss her and she didn't show much affection. He told her it was kind of a let down. She's apologizing. He tells her his emotions are heavily involved. She says when he's leaning in for a kiss all she could think about is what would his mom think. He didn't know how to take that (from what I could gather. I'm not getting much out of this convo.) He's not getting what he wants out of Erin right now. It's her fault if I take the money. Erin feels she has a slam dunk for the money. It's a greater risk if she takes Chad. |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:44 pm     i'm surprised that erin feels she has a slam dunk for the money with wade (even though she has said it all along). also, how can wade say that erin is honest and loyal? that is such a weird thing to say to a person you've only known through dating on a tv show. a tv show with twists and secrets. he doesn't know how honest erin has been. |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:48 pm     Alone time with Chad... She definitely has real feelings for Chad, she thinks he does too. Everytime he sees Erin it's like...wow. They hug and are now holding hands as they walk. They are at the gazebo where they first met. What was your favorite experience? She says Mexico...(that was with him.) She liked ice skating too...also with him. This girl is amazing, go for it. Why am I saying that? Take the money, go for it. (This is in a confessional.) She is flashing back to her last date with Rob and equating it with Chad. She's asking him what he's thinking. She would love it if Chad would trust her 100%. He doesn't know if he can trust her. She doesn't have any expectations, she just wants to see where things go. (He doesn't like that she said that...confessional) He would like to see a future for them. He has all these feelings and emotions. (He doesn't know if her feelings are true, he knows his feelings are true...confessional) Erin says that's a bad sign if he can't trust the relationship and how she feels. (that's in a confessional) She asks him if he thinks she's a liar. Chad says that was the most miserable hour of his life, when it should have been the best. She doesn't know what decision she will make. Chad and Wade are discussing things now. They know that she has a secret and both are hesitant. Wade says if she picks you go with your gut. That's what I'm going to do. Chad asked what did she tell you. Wade says I don't know, she talks in circles. She gives you enough rope to hang yourself. Chad says this is the worst possible scenario ever. |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 06:59 pm     Chad never thought he'd be here. It was a long hard road. Wade is trying to figure out if he goes for the money, what does that say about him to himself. That's all he's concerned about, is himself. Wade says his brain is detached from everything. It's running in circles. Chad says the scariest thing is not being chosen. You think she will choose you and she chooses the other person. He's getting antsy about tonight. Wade wants to be that someone that she is looking for, but doesn't feel the romance has clicked. He knows she has feelings for Chad. Chad is putting "things" on paper trying to figure it out. He feels she's harboring some kind of secret or a twist. He fears choosing Erin and finding that she's playing another game. If he decided to take the money choosing never to see Erin again it would be tough because he really does have feelings for her. Wade saying he never thought he would be final two. He and Chad are great friends but this is a decision to make on his own. He thinks they've had little set backs on their dates. His thoughts are clogged up. If he chooses money over Erin he'd never get to see her again. Chad thinks taking the money would be ok, because of the circumstances (playing a game). Relationships rarely work out these days. Trying to rationalize taking the money. Going to take Wade's advice...go with your gut. Wade says he's leaning toward taking the money, but he will have to see. |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:03 pm     You guys still out there? |
Abby7 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:06 pm     yes still here. thanks |
Lori | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:06 pm     Thanks Essence...now I don't have to watch the tape! |
Jan | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Essence I sure appreciate the spoiling you and Lori did as I was watching Paradise Hotels mean people and reading along here. PH is over now so i am actually watching L& M myself for the last hour. I don't know if the rest of your audience is still here...but I really do appreciate the spoiling. Thanks so much |
Lori | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:07 pm     How in the world are they going to fill the next hour...Jordan says it's time to fine out who Erin has chosen. Wade and Chad are hugging wishing each other luck |
Essence | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Tonight is the final night. She'll make her pick and then tell them who Rob is and that she made the decision to take the million dollars last time. Chad says he really likes this girl. But he doesn't know if she's in it for the right reasons. He has to think of himself. He hopes he makes the right decision. Either choice he would leave with an amazing thing (million dollars or Erin). Wade says this is the most nervous he has ever been. This decision has consumed his entire day. He needed to see things that he didn't get to see. Erin says what she has to say to them tonight will make a huge difference. She will lay her heart on the line. Gentlemen it's time. I'll leave you to say your goodbyes to one another. They will be in separate rooms. They feel they will be friends after this. Saying goodbye to each other. Wishing each other luck. |
