ROFLMAO Pamy I was scrolling down to post the EXACT same thing!!! GMTA

Also mark my words now...there will be some additional twist at the end. My guess would be that they announce near the finale (to us not the contestants lol) that if the girl choses love not money they will get two million...or at least the same mil.

Either that or maybe they will offer Rob the same deal...a million if he turns down the girl AFTER he chooses. Actually this thought makes more sense because it's a way for him not to look like he was just used throughout the show.

(And since he lied and there's probably some moral's clause in his contract they'll probably get it right back anyways if he chooses it LOL)

Seriously, what kind of bogus private investigator do these shows use? It is not hard at all to find out what type of discharge a person recieves from military service! Even, if his discharge from service didn't show up as anything suspicious you would think a good private investigator would notice that he didn't serve an even amount of years (out 20 months early)? I honestly think McDonald's probably looks into your background when you apply for a job better than these networks do when you apply to be on TV!

I posted this yesterday & with this new revelation I think I might have nailed it exactly:

--------------------------
I wonder if the producers of this show asked this bachelor to be boring, obnoxious, rude & crude (I'm assuming from the preview of the next show) to make him as undesirable as possible. Let's see if these women will still desire someone who is not terribly desirable(?)
Someone posted that someone who knew him said he's quite a womanizer. I can't imagine a defense trial attorney being monosyllabically inclined & unable to interview effectively. NOR can I image an attorney (who wants to continue practicing law) allow himself to be portrayed so unflatteringly UNLESS he wants to prove what a great actor he can be. Didn't I read a posting stating that was his aspiration??

Is the show on at 9:00 tonight? I'm on the west coast and I can come here and get the scoop early.

Yes - it should be on after Fame which is on now on the east coast. I checked the NBC site and it said it was on tonight.

Ok.. this is still bugging me, but this is closer to what I was thinking.. (trying to figure this is more fun than the show itself, LOL)

Erin's got a bit of Paula Trickey going on. Paula has been on lots of stuff. Pacific Blue is the lastest one I can think of.

Ok...taped the show (missed the ending thank you so much NBC for ending a 9-10 show sometime well after 10), watched the hockey game. Then watched the show. Both nauseated me lol.

I just have one question...ok maybe 2. At the rate they are going this show should be over in what, 4 episodes and they expect love to even be an option by then? Am I wrong or didn't they say tonight would be 2 eliminations? That would have seemed reasonable. I wonder how long filming took since nothing seems to have gone on since we left the girls...a total of 2 weeks? Man it makes me yearn for Paul (that was his name right?) the butler...and even worse it makes Evan look like a sweetheart and a rocket scientist. Which brings me to my second question/point...

WillWillBee, forget about interviewing effictively. Can any practicing atty in ANY specialty be as incapable of speaking in a complete sentence at any given time as he is? I'd say he is an actor but they would be able to read lines. This guy is just scary. When he was eliminating the woman, half had to guess what he was saying and finish it up for him. Good grief.

I have to agree with the majority opinion here...this guy has as much personality as a stick. Joe Millionare has more on this guy.

This guy is such a dim bulb! In retrospect, Evan's smile lit up the room.

I watch all these reality shows, and this is the most sickening of all. Not the show, the show's premise does not bother me. But this guy nauseates me. There is nothing redeeming about him. He looks slimy, he sounds slimy, he acts slimy ewwwwwwwwwww <shuddering>

Does anyone else think that this guy looks/acts like Bill Clinton? I think there is a striking resemblance.

It's not even a contest. I'd be going for the money!!! Who cares about this slimeball. This is a chance for each gal to show what a good actress she is, however, as they have to make him think they are interested in him so they can advance. Yuck! I'd rather take my chances in the real world.

The 21 year old sure wears rose colored glasses!

This show lost almost all of its appeal to me last night. At least this guy is fun to make fun of, with the way he talks and the stupid things he says. I missed the entire pseudo rose ceremony (whatever they call it) and most of what went on after "I'm really sorry... I was really stupid". I couldn't take it anymore, he sounded SO insincere!!! This show is gross, good thing NBC has Fame cause this is no Joe Millionaire.

However... I will probably watch next week! ::insert maniacal laughter here::

I wasn't going to watch this show. I saw only a few mins. of the 1st ep. After reading about the guy before the show last night, I decided I would watch.

This is the most boring of all reality shows ever.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz: the guy and the show. I'm with Ryn...can't stand the way he talks. I also cannot stand how there is no substance at all to what he says. I also agree with one or more of you that NBC had him apologize.

I do think Paige is in it for the money, though. Something she said last night really made me think that (can't remember what), also, she's trying hard to be the chosen one.

I don't see how they are going to be able to do another season (well, not really a season) of this show.

Everything about this show is so slow slow slow and boring. Not only is it the most boring reality show ever, it may be the most boring of all shows ever. Nothing at all happens on this show.

Conejo, that is exactly what I said after the first show. There was just something about him. Maybe it is the mouth, I don't know, but I also see Bill Clinton.

Anyone else notice the big disclaimer at th end of the show?

I couldn't get the exact wording, but the $1 million is paid over, 40 years!! The winner can take it in a reduced lump sum.

So she gets $25,000 per year before taxes or a lump of $400,000 before taxes!

I wouldn't refuse it but it sure isn't going to let anyone live the high life.

And I am back to add that

Rob Has Been Released From His Law Practice


Quote:

Firm's Decision on Rob Campos

In reference to the recent controversy regarding Rob Campos, this firm makes the following public statement and decision:

Following the events of September 11, 2001, Rob Campos was laid off from his employment due to the economic turmoil resulting from the terrorist attacks. After he returned to Texas from New York, Mr. Campos expressed interest in working with our firm and was ultimately offered a position as an independent contractor to perform "Associate Attorney" duties. This relationship began in December, 2001. During his relationship with our firm Mr. Campos also had discretion to practice on his own cases.

When Mr. Campos expressed interest in performing work for this firm and maintaining an office with us he did not volunteer the negative information that related to his experience at the JAG Corps nor was this information known to us. The firm conducted a criminal background check, which showed no arrests, no probation, no deferred adjudication or convictions. The firm was not privy to the JAG Corps related complaint during the background investigation as the proceedings are protected by privacy rights.

The recent news stories related to Mr. Campos' misconduct during his tenure as a Marine are alarming. Furthermore, we were concerned about his conduct during the second episode of the TV show "For Love or Money" on NBC, which aired on June 9, 2003. Taking the two events together, we find that it is in the best interest of this firm to disassociate our relationship with Mr. Campos. Since Mr. Campos has never been a formal "employee" of this firm, the firm simply will cease any additional work and we have asked him to vacate his office space.

We take this action carefully, without haste, and after due consideration. We have factored our relationship with Mr. Campos as well as the decisions he has made over the years and the last several weeks. Although we have known Rob Campos to be an intelligent and hospitable person and a person who has acted mannerly with our staff and our clients, he has allowed himself to become ill perceived. What is of greatest significance to us, is that our firm vigorously enforces the rights of individuals, many of them minorities, many of them foreign to this country and many of them women. We hold our relationship with our clients and potential clients dear to our hearts and of the utmost importance in prioritizing our responsibilities. We do not wish to allow any possibility of our practice of law being perceived as unsympathetic to the causes we strive so hard to protect.

Sincerely,

Mathur Law Offices, P.C.

Sanjay S. Mathur




OK - I get them releasing him, but they had no problem at all letting him bring a reality TV camera crew into the courtroom while defending a client on trial for murder.

Man, if whomever he picks takes the money over him, he has got to be the most bummed out dude ever. I hope he doesn't have a dog because the way his luck is going that dog better look out before venturing near a road.

You know, this guy epitomizes that oft used but not liked word on this board, smarmy. I know the mods don't like it, but I think we can agree that, in this case, this guy is the definition of the word based on what we've seen of him these two episodes. Were I on the show (and I wouldn't be), I'd be taking the money all the way.

I just wanted to point out, it may not have been NBC who taped the court procedings. Also, if it was, they would need permission of the judge and it has to be in a state which allows taping of trials, not up to his firm.

You can often watch them live on Court TV. I believe it's up to the discretion of the judge in courts which do allow cameras, to ban them if it is a controversial case, but many of them make it to Court TV. NBC very well could have gotten the footage from already taped archives. FWIW

I feel bad for the guy. When is punishment over? He already lost his career in the JAG core. Yes, he does seem smarmy. But, at some point, punishment needs to be over, and people need to continue with their lives.
