Iceprincess | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:19 pm     They went bowling and he sung to her. It was painful (the singing). The bowling was typical date stuff. He chose bowling because it is similar to the past time in Austria except the balls have no finger holes. |
Curious1 | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:47 pm     DARN IT! I missed tonight's show. If it hasn't been on yet on the west coast could someone PLEASE do a short summary for the dates? Did they have to earn money again for the dates or how did they decide who got to do what on their dates? Oh yeah, and how did the friends react to each guy? |
Aus10 | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:20 pm     I'll see if I can remember their dates....please excuse any premature Alzheimers moments I might have. Date money didn't have to be earned that we saw. The date was supposed to tell about the guys hobby he enjoyed. Dominic - Took Lisa to a bar, show'd her how to make drinks and they talked. She seemed to enjoy it, and even though Dom is one of my favs..this didn't impress me much.....oh well.. Evan - Went ice skating. Said his hobby is learning new hobbies. Seemed okay as far as the date goes, but something about this guy just ain't right.... Hank - Went fishing....Both seemed to have great time Joe - Quickly become another favorite of mine. Took her real estate hunting....for million dollar mansions.....They seem to get along so well. Ken- Took her to the beach to play volleyball and talked...uummm....I think Ken will soon be leaving this little competetion... Paul - Took her horseback riding. Very nice date however I still remember him in that pink suit and picturing him on a horse in it is a very frightning image... Rendo - This dude in my opinion gets stranger and stranger. He took a writer to the park to learn how to write poetry? The part where they launched their poetry by ballon was cool and imaginative.....but up till then....1 on a 1-10 scale...... Scott - They both like movies so he took her to a movie lot and they had a picnic with food from her favorite movies. Awesome concept...to bad he had to spoil the picnic with lots of talk about kissing and sex ...which he wanted and she didn't!.. no connection here at all that I can see.. Robert - Well..what can you say. They went bowling...you saw her get the 7-10 split and he hit a strike (how with that delivery I'll never know) bet he beat her badly...(Note to Robert, when trying to impress her on 2nd date it's nice to at least keep the score close). Then the most ear-piercing, screetching song ever heard on TV came out of his mouth, one which no doubtedly he made up right there on the spot. I've got my three favorites: Dominic, Joe and Hank (coincedently all from Chicago...go IL!) Ken will go soon, but only when the general public votes off Robert. It's the only humane thing to do before he sings and makes a complete ass out of himself again...........hope this helps! |
Curious1 | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:52 pm     Thanks so much for the re-cap Aus10! Who got voted off this week? And who did her friends like? So Aus10 you are from Chicago, what part? I grew up about an hour west of Chicago and now I live about 3 hours west. I was just in Schaumburg this weekend, shopping of course. HEY since you seem to be a fan of reality show guests from Chicago, do you like Toni from paradise hotel? She is one Chicago native I don't care to claim LOL |
Iceprincess | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:59 pm     Rob got voted out (not to be confused with Robert A.) The 2 lowest vote getters were Ken and Rob. I can't remember who they liked, but check the CBS website tomorrow for the Cupid Recap...they have it almost word for word...I was impressed. |
Curious1 | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 10:01 pm     What was Rob (the one who got voted off) and Lisa's first date? I can't remember the guy maybe if I could think of what they did on their date or what he did to earn his money I would remember him better. |
Hobobabe | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 10:27 pm     If you hear about a repeat airing of tonight's episode, let me know, okay? I missed the show! (Too many reality shows--too little time). |
Miggles | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 10:59 pm     I wonder if America confused Robert with Robert A and voted the wrong guy out (though both deserved to go). Actually, I hope Robert A stays in for a little while longer just to see what outlandish stunts he pulls in later dates. I thought Lisa had 3 bad dates (Ken, Rob A, Scott) and 6 good ones. I can't imagine what kind of schedule Lisa is keeping to go on all these dates. My guess is last week she had to go on 10 dates in 5 days, assuming she didn't know who was eliminated tonight. |
Moondance | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:58 pm     Aus10... THANK you! I am in class on Tuesday and forgot to tape |
Bluie | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 12:32 am     Well I guess I just see Robert A. different than most people, lol. I think he's very cute and shy and I'm not giving him sympathy votes, really I'm not, when I vote for him. I really like Joe after tonight. He seems like a great guy and I loved his date idea. Evan's ice skating was a fun idea also but he's probably not serious about marriage. Dominic is very cute but definitely still a young party guy. Paul just creeps me out. He reminds me off a professor I had in college that was always trying to make the moves on his female students ~ in other words I think he's there to pump up his ego and get exposure. I'm not as thrilled with Hank as others seem to be. He just could be cute when he smiles and not much else. He just rubs me the wrong way I guess. He seems to be the favorite to win, which means he probably won't win. I'd really love to see Scott go. His date idea started out a winner and he spoiled it by acting like a cad. Bleck, that was painful to watch. He is a little cheesy if you ask me. Ken is just all wrong for her. They have next to zero chemistry, but he does seem like a nice guy and good husband material for someone, lol. For marriage at this point I'd pick Joe. He'd be a great family man. Hank and Evan for short term romance. That leaves Robert for me (lol), since Lisa doesn't seem to like him too much at all. But she is mildly amused by him. |
Aus10 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 05:28 am     Curious..I'm not from Chicago....a wee bit south. Six hours south...LOL But we "Illinois Suckers" have to stick together. I do think our midwestern simple attitude is a definite keeper and perhaps that's why I'm drawn to the three guys I am. Tell you what all....next week I'll try to write a synopsis as the show is on, unless someone else wants or is doing so. Don't want to step on any toes here. That one was from memory and really not very complete. Just a small note though, I will miss two weeks later this month due to taking the son to college so someone will have to cover the 19th and 26th for me...... |
Sweetbabygirl | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 06:41 am     Bluie, THANK YOU for saying exactly what I've been saying to anyone who'd listen (although it is hard trying to convince two cats, lol!) concerning Hank....outside of a nice smile, I'm not impressed by him at all. Now if you want a true winner, then Joe's your man....on his date, he found something to do that not only held his interest, but LISA's as well. They seemed naturally at ease with each other, and since the beginning of this show I have been touched at his sincere comments about love and marriage. If he isn't chosen for her, then trust me he will quickly be off the market when he gets back to Chi-town, as he is definitely marriage material....I'd cut my right arm to be with him, fo sho! I liked Scott until the kissing incident....the date was very creative until he got Hollywood sleazy on her. She seems to want to take her time, he should have respected that. Ken has a super-duper hot body, and that height....YUMMY! Still, these attractive features can't erase the fact that he is a BORING date! Renda - Honey, you need a real job! Wack rhymes don't pay the bills or put food on the table, I'm sorry....however, the poem sent in the air by balloon was creative. Paul actually surprised me....I'm still skeeving on him because of that awful suit, but I thought their date was really nice. I almost fell to the floor when Kimberly gave Evan positive comments....I still have it in him for putting Laura on his lap. I know it was a joke, but he is supposed to be into Lisa. Dominic is cute, but too young....killer smile, though. And finally, we have Mr. "Oh, My God!", Robert A....LAWD HAVE MERCY, I'm still traumatized by his warbling of Born To Be Wild, and now this....WTF was he singing to that poor woman at the bowling alley? At one point I thought I was going to hear "Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan!" Piece of advice, dude....you might want to be less competitive in the lanes, he was playing like he was on Bowling For Dollars! Laura and Kimberly were right on the money about him, he seems like he'd have Lisa on lockdown 24/7. GO JOE!! |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 07:04 am     I am lovin this show, and it seems that all roads lead to a showdown between Dominic and Hank. Get rid of Robert A. I would have to strangle myself if I had to listen to him all the time. How much of a nutjob is this guy? He is probably okay in real life, but on camera, geesh. My favorite, Ken (omg that bod) is a short-timer as well. Well educated, good dresser, athletic, well spoken, driven, but not much personality clicking going on I suppose. Did I mention that he is my favorite? Just a lifesize poster of his body please. You would think I was 14 again. Drool. Hank-sweet, shy, but bleh for me. She seems really into him though. I predict Hank as the winner. Dominic-cute as a bug, but I dunno. Haven't seen enough to form an opinion. Some men are mature for their age. Let's hope we see that in him. Renda-Poet, Schmoet. Need more substance from the man. Get a real job and cut the hair that frizzes in the humidity. Like artsy guys, but something about him skeeves me out. Joe-I like Joe, but I don't like Joe...Something rubs me the wrong way about him and I don't know what it is. But then again, this isn't the Cupid show with Jennifer as the prize and dowery now is it? Scott-I know there is more to love than beauty, but he reminds me of sleaze. Cannot put my finger on it. I have to look away when he smiles. I am such the superficial (fill in the blank)! Evan-Could see they had chemistry between them. I think she is into him, and good comeback on second date. It just makes me wonder. She has her favorites, so do the producers edit the shows in order to favor the ones that she prefers. I would think so. Oh, and have I mentioned, I am cold, so very cold, can I have a towel to wrap up in please Ken?!?! Okay, I am done. |
Hoosiergirl | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 07:37 am     Hey, I just found this board and am lovin' reading everyone's thoughts. I too, unfortunately, missed the show last night and I'm VERY disappointed that I missed Robert A.'s seranade). Just some of my random comments (kinda long since it's my first weigh-in!): 1. Laura. Someone had commented that she looked familiar and should they know her from somewhere. They described her as a hairdresser from Detriot on the first show. I don't know about you, but I've yet to meet any hairdressers from Detriot who can afford to wear couture clothes. Maybe it's a perk from the show? At times I question her ability to judge Lisa's soulmate when she displays such an obvious lack of ability to select age appropriate clothes. 2. Joe. I liked him and his first date with Lisa. But I was bothered by his overspending on the date, althought everyone else on the show seemed to think it was okay. Does anyone else think that if he cheated on something as small as this, that he wouldn't hesitate to cheat again. And on important things? Trust issue there. (and did you get a gander at the wad of cash he took out of his pocket?) 3. Renda. I can't believe he's even there. A "professional" street hustler and he couldn't raise the most money for the first date? What does this man live on? (Bet he lives at home with mom). Longest relationship? 2 to 3 months. 'nuff said! 4. And saving the worst for last; Robert A. I'm shocked that I seem to be the only one who finds him creepy. Stalker creepy. When he appeared the first time, with a framed photo of Lisa in hand, professing how he had already fallen in love with her picture, about that their future was "destiny" and all the coincidences dealing with the number 7, my radar went off! Everytime he's on camera, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! I get the feeling that he is already so into Lisa and it would only get worse. Like "I have to be with you every minute" worse. Just my thoughts. |
Aunt_Bob | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 08:42 am     Hoosiergirl, howyadoin... You said: "I'm shocked that I seem to be the only one who finds him creepy. Stalker creepy." If I had to pick ONLY two (cause I've got plenty more) words to describe the vibes I get from Robert A., they would be stalker creepy!!! Without a doubt!!! And I'd bet a few dollars that there are many out in TVland that would use that same discriptive. |
Theowl | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 08:50 am     "I"!! |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 09:01 am     I was a Renda fan until his date last night. Poetry?! She certainly enjoyed it 1000 times more than I would have. The blonde bad boy (Eric?) is so cute i would fall hard for him. Dominic too. Hank doesn't do it for me but seems like a great guy. Robert is really creeping me out too. He's way too into someone he doesn't even know. But I fear that all the slamming of him is going to cause many to vote for him (see LCS's Dat) and he's going to be around for a while. Ick. |
Hoosiergirl | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 09:03 am     Good to know I'm not alone! But our club isn't too populated since he wasn't one of the bottom two vote getters last night.  |
Curious1 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 09:55 am     Hoosier girl, welcome to TVCH, you will love it here, I do! So, who were the bottom vote getters? I would certainly think that Robert A and Ken would be in there if American is voting based on Lisa's chemistry (or lack of) with them. Aus10, I think it is great that you are willing to do a play by play of the show!!! I guess I'm in the minority here but I really do like Hank. He seems to be a good match for Lisa and I just think he is very sincere. My second favorite is Joe for the exact same reasons, his sincerity and compadability with Lisa. I hope american doesn't vote for the underdog like they did on Last Comic Standing, this is after all hopefully going to result in marriage, not just a sitcom deal with Dat Phan. |
Konamouse | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 10:23 am     If Lisa is looking for a husband, then Joe and Hank are best bets. If Lisa is looking for a boyfriend (i.e. sex toy), then Dominic and Evan are her best bets. If Lisa is looking for just a friend, then Renda or Paul fits here. Out of the running for any of the above - Robert, Ken and Scott. 'squeek' |
Bluie | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 11:48 am     I really don't think Robert is a stalker, lol. He's from a different culture and I also think he's not completely relaxed speaking English in conversation. I don't think he really thinks he is in love with her, it's just a humorous way to get attention which doesn't really work with Lisa. I guess I'm one of the few that see his humor in everything he's doing. Which was really apparent when he begged for money by asking for money for his funeral, can't stop laughing on that one. Even though he's not right for Lisa I'd love to see him stick around so he could show his more sane self, which I believe is there lol. Also about Renda...He's the kind of guy I would love to date in college. When we were all carefree and worrying only about finals and finishing a painting or paper for class. He's definitely not ready to get married, but I really think he's convinced he is, lol. I guess I'm the only one who likes his hair, I hope he doesn't cut it. |
Scribe | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 05:18 pm     Like this show - rated best to worst - my opinion only - Tied for now: Hank, Joe, Even and Dominic Paul Tied Scott Ken - different reasons - first is smarmy (drop the mustache/gotee) - second is dorkish and boring (though appears to be quite smart and successful). Tied: Rendo and Robert A - different reasons - first is smarmy, second is so boring and i think stupid - |
Hoosiergirl | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 08:52 pm     Bluie: I lived in Germany for 6 years (which is practically Austria) and trust me, it's not a cultural thing. If anything, their societies are more formal than ours. You call someone Herr or Frau (Last Name) until they request you to use their first name. I watched his face, his intensity and obvious sincerity and it creeped me out. My radar on dicey people is ususally pretty good. I don't think that Lisa is comfortable with him. Their amusement park date was excruciating to watch. But then again, I could be wrong! Time will tell.  |
Puttergirl | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 06:24 am     I'm feeling very devilish today. We should all vote for Robert every week to get him to the end and then see how bad she wants that $1,000,000 dowry. Bad enough to marry Robert?? I am so evil!!!!
