Thanks. I figured, but I missed them saying it. I've been switching between it and Joe Schmo, which is hilarious.

I taped Joe Schmo... will have to watch it later, looks like from the other thread that it is really good.

Dominic now - as usual they are questioning his readiness for marriage - not for Lisa.

Robert's date was hilarious... he is the biggest entertainment value of the show.
Laura - gracious host but creepy massage
Kim - good date but not right for Lisa - just be happy that they are friends.
(I'm voting to keep him in again!)

Have they said how next week would be done? I'm not sure where to go with the poll. It would seem like they have to get rid of more than one man next week??

No info about next week Puttergirl.

did anyone catch what Hank said to Lisa about working? In response to her family thinking she wouldn't want to live on a farm (Hank's dream) because of her career, she said that she wanted to NOT work when she started a family. Hank said (live after watching that clip) that she needed to keep her brain active and still be a breadwinner! The way he said it was weird, like a demand, like he expects it his way, not what lisa wants....what he said on top of what happened last week convinces me he is all wrong for her. He's really got some issues.... guess they all do but Evan is the best for her. Did anyone else notice how out of left field Hank's comments about her working came? very bizarre IMO

Re: Robert........seems like Laura and Kimberly are learning that the voters want to keep Robert because they're so nasty to him so they were really nice LOL it's obvious what they're doing (a little reverse psychology) LOL doesn't look like it's working!

I wonder if her parents were doing the same thing or were sincere in how much they liked him??

Please don't vote for Robert, even tho it has some comic value. Vote for Renda or Dominic.

I just LOVE LOVE Dominic. If any producers or casting directors get a look at this show, this guy should be able to have an unlimited future. With his looks, his smile, and his kind heart this MAN has just gotta have a thousand doors open to him. I can see him as an actor, a host, a spokesperson or just about anything. GO DOMINIC

I will never forget that he brought his developmently disabled sister to the interview. It could have gone badly for him. Some people, like my daughter for instance, immediately thought about the genetics involved and that perhaps that would knock him out of contention.
I believe that it showed his loving heart and his committment to his family. What a guy.

Sorry to be so gushy, I'm more than 50 YO, but damn, what an awsome, loving, beautiful, sexy person. I really hope doing this doesn't ruin him.

Ghod, please don't vote for Robert. It's like making fun of the handicapped kid in school. Very mean and spiteful.

I just finished watching the tape and all I have to say is PUUUULLEEEZZZEEE.

Lisa to Renda: You're treating marriage like a circus. Marriage is not a circus.

Well, what the heck do you call this show? Allowing America to pick your husband for you?

I'm laughin' so hard, I'm cryin over here.

Hoosier, very good point, LOL!

I wonder what Renda meant when he said everyone in the house was there for another reason including himself. ???

Dominick bringing his sister could have been for the "sensitive good guy" vote, as well.

Hank is the creepy one now. His comment about her being a bread winner, too, shocked me. He was not paying attention. Joe stating that Evan was the man to vote for sealed the envelope for me. There is something up with Hank. He is strident but there is more.

puttergirl~~I thought the same thing....I think the parents were told before the date to be nice. Also, aren't they watching the show? If so, they can see how the public is turning on Lisa for laughs.

yep, I had to laugh too when Lisa said to Renda that this isn't a circus......uh, helloooo, this whole concept is ridiculous, read; circuslike. I sure wouldn't let my friends (or pretend, paid friends) pick my husband and definitely not America! LOL what a show! I feel for her tho and want Evan to go the distance. He's the most 'normal' if a reality show contestant can be normal. I love Domenic but he needs to play more (lucky women who are the playees) He will make an awesome husband someday.

I thought Hank's comments about working after children was weird too. Does he not get it...she does not want to work after having children.

That being the case, I hope she ends up with someone who has a steady income. A million dollars will not last a life time for sure. Can you imagine Renda supporting Lisa and the kids?

Anyway Lisa has to take what she can get...she went on this show so America could pick a husband for her...if she ends up with Robert...serves her right. I would not let strangers make important decisions in my life!

Last nite's show changed my concept of several of the "boys":
Hank is really starting to creep me out - That charming, aw shucks, guy we saw in the beginning was an act.
Dominic CANNOT say "I am ready" to marry - he always adds " I THINK I am ready". Her dad tried to get him to drop the "I think..." part, but he couldn't. He is NOT ready to get married.
Renda - wants to charge admission to let people "see" he and Lisa together after they marry as a way to make a living. Wants to hitchkike across the country. Uh-I think not.
Evan - can't that boy do ANYTHING??? He was a hopeless dolt as a host and cook. Her brother was right - he has pretented to be able to do several things during this competition, but has not shown that he is capable of doing anything.

I was very surprised to see Robert as the best of the bunch. The meal was great - he did it all himself, an old family dish of some sort, and everyone loved it. Her folks were genuinely impressed by his graciousness and his selfless ambitions, and, I even think of his love and respect for Lisa. And the backrub was not "creepy" as the charming Laura said. No leering remarks about getting her naked (only from Laura...), no inappropriate touching. All that being said, he's too good for miss perfect. There is someone out there who would appreciate his sweet self.

FINALLY, I'm noticing that people are seeing what I have been saying all along....that Hank is nothing more than a wolf in Richie Cunningham's clothing. That sh!t-eating grin can get him but so far, I sense a lot of pent-up anger in him. Naturally, the family (and America) falls for his ish.

Joe - Sorry to see him go, but he's not for Lisa....(Joe, if you happen to be reading this and you are into full-sized black women then come and get me, Iceprincess be damned!!)

Renda - Dude, you just don't get it. While I give him major props for the salad idea (if nothing else, he is very creative), to quote an oft-repeated line from the late, great sitcom Martin...."YOU AIN'T GOT NO JOB, MAN!!" Creativity won't pay the bills! What if God forbid something happened to Lisa and she couldn't work for a while? Stop talking about what you hope to do and just do it! Get that eye of the tiger, ANYTHING!!

Dominic - Eliminated next week, fo sho....maybe he is in denial about not wanting to marry yet, I don't know. But if Laura, Kimberly, hell, even Lisa's FAMILY are telling you that you aren't ready for marriage, then maybe you ought to ask yourself that question....and don't THINK, either you are or you aren't!!

Robert - America, you guys are sick....I like that in a country!! That said, this man would SO be given a restraining order in real life. I didn't think the message was creepy, he looks like he is good with his hands.

Evan - Since reading the previous post about his reluctance to try for the show until he found out about the million-dollar dowry, I'm not feeling him as much. Interesting that Brian (Lisa's brother) didn't like him. Oh, and when Lisa's father asked if he loved her, he dodged that question as quickly as a cowboy side-steps dung in the Old West! However, I would vote for him only because of the sexual chemistry between him and Lisa.

I voted twice for Robert.

I wasn't impressed by Dominick bringing his mentally challenged sister to the audition. It smacked of exploitation. A picture would have sufficed. And no, he's not ready for marriage, but this isn't a serious show about marriage. It's about winning half a million dollars.

I also caught Hank's domineering "You WILL work" schtick--and after she said she would quit to care for the kids?? What a dip. I don't like him anymore, either.

Not that I care for any of them, especially Lisa, who macks on all of them (except Robert, which is why he gets my vote.) More and more, Lisa is a real pushover. Whatever the guys want, she goes with. If she doesn't want to do something, TELL THEM. It's kind of sad.

It'll be interesting to see which man she prostitutes herself for.

Oh, and yeah, her walk is AWFUL. Gorilla is a good parallel! BWAH!!!!

And yeah, what makes HER so ready for marriage? Especially as she takes it so lightly she's willing to marry a guy America chooses for her to win a cold hard cash award?

Interesting that Simon is rooting for Robert. It's all about ratings . . . (Wonder how Lisa feels about that?)

ITA about Hank's comment that she "will" work. There's much more to this boy, and it isn't good!

While I don't dislike Lisa, I do agree that she's wishy-washy. She just sort of molds herself around the guy and doesn't seem to express her ideas or wishes. Why didn't she confront Renda about his plans when he said them, not later.

I'm really curious about how the finale will play out. If it is down to a final 4 and then we vote, I think the anti-Robert camp will be split amoung the 3 remaining and thus Robert will end up with the most votes. Scary, but it could be entertaining. I'm still voting for EVan.
