Wink | Monday, June 02, 2003 - 08:54 pm     Ryn he's a criminal defense attorney from Dallas. Scary. MLT I got the same impresssion. |
Ryn | Monday, June 02, 2003 - 08:55 pm     So they say half the girls going home next week - then we will be down to 5 - no need to get to know the names yet ;) I have discovered another thing that bugs me about Rob - the way he talks reminds me of a co-worker - he seem to take FOREVER to get his point across!!! I agree MLT. A defense attorney? omg - that is scarry!!! |
Spygirl | Monday, June 02, 2003 - 09:02 pm     He came across WORSE on the Today Show this morning if that is possible. NBC found him in a bar, if you can believe it. Walked up to him and asked him to come for an interview. |
Sawheel17 | Monday, June 02, 2003 - 09:46 pm     I gotta feeling that baby girl Paige is going to be chewed up and swallowed.Bless her heart. I probably wll watch again. I want to see Rob make an as' out of himself and see where that goes. Million dollars is about to look better to them all! |
Sawheel17 | Monday, June 02, 2003 - 09:51 pm     Oh yeah Mit, I agree about the Paige begging! Or changing his mind anyway!! |
Wendo | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 12:47 am     I'm a little po'd. My Tivo, for some unknown reason, stopped recording after one hour and eleven minutes. So, I wasn't able to watch the final 45 minutes. My Tivo's never done that before; how annoying. |
Readonly | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:13 am     Remind me that if I ever need a criminal defense attorney, not call call Mr. Love or Money (I can't remember his name). I wonder what his record is? Has he ever won a case? And you're right, he did make Joe Millionaire look like a genius. But next Monday night I'll be right in front of the TV again, watching this show. I also have no life. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:33 am     I fell asleep in the middle of the elimination round. Granted I was tired, but could this move more slowly? I predict that there will be at least two women who sincerely want to have a relationship with him but they will be elimintated and he will choose someone who will take the money. This show is doomed. NBC is the last one to hop on the Reality TV bandwagon and created a lousy show for this monumental event. Having said that I will watch to the bitter end. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:41 am     Oh my heck, I am getting a lot of joy out of reading everyone's comments! You guys are too funny! This is definitely another guilt-free snarkfest show! |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:42 am     I fell asleep last night also, I was so tired. But I kicked myself because I wanted to watch the rest. I too, need a life, because I will be watching again next Monday. LOL |
Hootyhoot | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:52 am     I'm thinking that after the producers saw how dull this guy is, they must've been delighted when he made an <el> of himself in some way for next week's show! That'll keep me watching! <el> |
Conejo | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:01 am     Well, I also fell asleep after the first hour and missed the elimination. Did I read here that they had the eliminated 'girls' burn their checks? I don't understand why they would make such a big deal out of these checks as they didn't even have a last name on them! And this smarmy host placing the checks in that 'secret' hiding place was just too much melodrama for me. But I'll probably be sitting in front of the TV next week hoping this guy ties one on and makes an <el> outta himself! <el> |
Gina8642 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:15 am     I liked it, I really did. I didn't think Rob was too boring. I guess I like soft spoken mumbly guys. He is definately cute too. He does seem too old to be dating 21 year olds. I hope he doesn't blow my good first impressions next week. I haven't really watched too many of these bachelor shows/meet your mate shows, so I guess this format is still fairly new to me. I guess I like the 'twist' shows. I totally agree with whoever said they don't show the women's names often enough. I was tempted to come up here and print off the pix that were posted so I could have a 'cheat sheet' to try to figure out who was who. I like the shool teacher and the math teacher. I think it is great when women teach math. Helps girls realize that math isn't any 'harder' for girls, just socially acceptable to treat it that way. No clue what their names are. Guess I need to print out that cheat sheet. I was always good in math and science. Some teachers and fellow students seemed to dismiss me, based on my sex. Even in college some professors seem to assume you are in their class just to furfill a credit requirement. Very annoying!!! My TiVo recorded everything ok, full two hours. The only bad thing it has done to me so far is when it decided to record Sorority Life (rerunning nine billion times a month) instead of the season finale of West Wing. What a bummer, and I was home too!!! (Urgh!!! Urgh!!! URGH!!!!!!) Just not watching TV. All my priorities were picked correctly - no clue why it did that. Mysteries of TiVo I guess. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:37 am     I was thinking, maybe there's a method to NBC's madness. Maybe they purposely chose a good looking oaf to see how much the women would overlook for the money or how much they would dismiss about his personality (or lack thereof) because of the way he looks. It's kind of like, as an example, how would women respond if they were presented with a million dollars and a Brad Pitt-look alike except the catch is, the guy hasn't showered for two weeks? How much of his stench would they deny to "win"? |
Willwillbee | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 08:18 am     Good point Scorpiomoon, I'd bet some of the ladies would have passed on him except for the $$$ incentive. He's cute but such a dork. |
Chance | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 08:25 am     I thought Rob had no "affect" in his voice for most of the show. The livliest moment was towards the end when he said to one girl, something like, "I can't take the tension, you're in" that cracked me up. For him its a win/win situation. He gets face time and that might enhance his career. |
Froggiegirl621 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 08:52 am     I also thought Rob lacked personality. His comments were dumb and he kept saying the same thing to every girl...very boring. I was also amazed at how all the girls were fawning over him like he was the best thing since sliced bread! Yes, he's good looking, and yes, there's a million dollar prize, but get real! He's dull, dull, dull...at least admit it! Some of the girls were entertaining, and some of them were nice and sweet, but that Kelly girl is just plain EVIL! She's a name dropper and keeps bragging about her friends with money and her designer-brand this and her $400 that. She was getting on my nerves, but she'll be the one to keep me watching. I bet she'll be the one to win, and she'll take the money without missing a beat. After all, she could spend it all in just one shopping spree if she wanted too - or so she says! |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 09:01 am     Something has been bugging me. Does he remind anybody else of Bill Clinton? Something about the mouth? Or the way he looks over the women as they are walking away? Something? |
Realfan | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 09:17 am     <<I got the distinct impression that he was going to keep that Cristy girl and let Paige go. But that Paige managed to talk him into keeping her. Did anyone else get that impression? >> I did, too. He sure seemed to be leading up to a dismissal. But I'm SO glad <M> is gone (did she have a man's chin, or what?!). Now Designer Diva Kelly doesn't have her best bud around to gossip about prices with. Too bad, so sad. I do sometimes wonder if people like <M> and Kelly are plants, though, they're both so over the top. I was almost glad Kelly was staying, so we have someone to root against. Yeah, Chance, no affect at all. Everything is said in monotone. A really bizzare trait to find in a criminal defense attorney. And the hemming and hawing?? "Uh, judge? I think I'm gonna say this time that he's, uh, not guilty." I was impressed by his bio, and ready to feel sorry for him because of the hoax. But this guy is BLAND. Well, maybe not after next week. Funny, could he anger the girls enough that some of them would leave despite the mill? I doubt it! Probably just make them not feel guilty about it. |
Rslover | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 09:23 am     I agree with all of you. I was wondering if other people were thinking the same thing as I was watching this show. He reminded me of Jethro (from the Beverly Hillbillies) and made Evan Marriott look like a rocket scientist!! I can't believe that he is an attorney - so inarticulate and strange. He is cute, though. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 09:47 am     Did I see a Fruitbat in here? I'm still feeling a bit bad for this guy. What are they going to tell him when the winner walks away with her check and leaves him in the dust? I'm wondering if he's just a doofus around girls and comes to life in a court room. He obviously isn't a public defender because he lives by a lake and sails. His speech was so monotone, but toward the end of meeting the girls he started to show a few sparks. He is handsome. I'm not liking him yet, but I'm open to that changing. There are a lot of likable women. It will be fun to see how they change as this progresses. |
Wendo | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 09:51 am     Gina8642, I've never had my Tivo record the wrong show. Major bummer. But, I've turned off all those Tivo recommendation preferences. I heard they can sometimes over ride ones recording choices. Still haven't figured out why my Tivo stopped recording the show mid-way. (Probably never will.) Has that happened to you ever? Not me. Oh well. Something obviously interupted it while it was recording. Not a power outage though. I was on the computer at the time and nothing happened. Hm. Oh, on topic, the guy seemed ok. Not really my type honestly. |
Realbiz | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 10:02 am     Rob said he is shy around girls, maybe that's why he seemed to lack spark last night. I'd like to think his speech is "smooth" rather than boring at this point, hopefully things pick up as the show progresses. Anyway I think he is good looking, who prefers brunetts than blondes. Were all five girls let go blondes?! |
Sherbabe | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 10:58 am     I keep waiting for a "twist" to this story. Anybody else suspect anything? |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 11:00 am     Maybe he just doesn't go for "bottle blondes"! I think Rob is probably just getting the feel of what he's gotten himself into. I think (or at least hope) he'll get more outgoing as he gets more comfortable. He's a handsome one though. That Paige is a little sweetheart. Would have liked her better though on the Bachelor for BOB! |
