Yes, the line "Rob Campos was paid a consolation prize" was definitely there, I was looking out for it too! I don't think he'd have done it without one, too much of a risk of humiliation. Boy am I glad he's gone, he's so creepy!

Has anyone noticed that next week there's the reunion show, NOT the final episode. I can't check the following week's schedule yet (it doesn't reach that far) but I presume the FLOM2 finale is on the following Monday. [[Warning to TiVo people: you'll have to set a separate recording for next week!]]

Yes, next week is reunion, (that should be fun), and the following week is the finale (2 hour).

As for Erin's facial expressions. They don't bother me. I'd certain hate to be taped and then have people pick apart my quirky expressions or how I bite my lip or wrinkle my nose. I think she's adorable.

Sure she talks about the money. It's a part of the show. But it's very obvious she's quite smitten with Chad.

Has anyone seen the fine print at the end of the show? It says the winner receives an annuity which matures over 40 years! I guess this adds up to an extra $25k/year, but it's not going to change the winner's lifestyle in a big way. It's not like they could go out and by a $500k house with cash or something.

Do the guys still NOT know that it is either the love OR the money?

Madelane Many probably noticed but like me, just didn't post a thank you. Thanks for the heads up :)

<<I swear, she doesn't have any real feelings. Every time she addresses the viewers on the subject of which guy to choose, it is ALWAYS which one will choose her over the money. I have never, ever heard her say, "I don't know if he'll choose me, but I have FEELINGS for him, and that is what matters." >>

That's my read, too. The longer this show goes on, the less I like Erin. I think both Wade and Chad deserve better. I hope the winner takes the money.

Erin has YET to show us a personality. After so many weeks, it's amazing I have no real read on her. What are her likes and dislikes, her dreams and desires? I have no idea. She always parrots whatever the men say.

I thought she was pretty meh on the first show, but thought she might show more of herself on this one. Nope. Rob is right--she doesn't open up to the men. I don't get why they're so taken with her, but there are dollar bills in their eyes, of course. But so does she. She never says anything about these guys except whether she thinks they'd choose the money over her. Boring!

I haven't liked Rob, but I loved his rant at Erin. Hee! He's right. But I'm still glad he's gone.

And, on a shallow note, her facial ticks are driving me crazy! I've noticed them from the first time I saw her and they're just getting worse.

I read the fine print last night, and it said Rob Campos received a consolation prize. Nothing about an amount, though.

I want Chad or Wade to star in a more authentic bachelor-type show (no money involved). They'd both make great bachelors.

Chad and Wade both seem like great guys. Why would they even come on this show? Chad said that he didn't even know about the money part of it until after he was there. They both seem sincere in their feelings for Erin. And she is playing both of them. They deserve better than they are getting.I agree that they would make great bachelors on a show where no money is involved. Maybe then they could meet someone who is there for them and not the money.

In a small way I feel for Rob - yes he put himself back out there to be rejected but even the guys were mean to him - not a huge fan of the guy but he did seem sincere - he's just shy and seems to have a problem opening up - I'd rather have a guy like that than a guy that's really cocky.
Anyhoo - Erin? BORING - deserves what she gets - I really wish Paige had come back instead - she would have at least shown emotion.
Ok done with my ranting:)

Erin will get a consolation prize too!

Sorry Madeline, sometimes there are so many posts I have to skim through and miss a few things :).

No problem! And how hilarious is it that there ARE so many posts for this dang show? Seriously, what is WRONG with us?

To make it worse, I have some comments. Rob is strange. I never watched the first season so all I have seen is his wooden declarations to Erin these past couple shows and his horrible hair. I never hated other hair, like Joe Millionaire's hair, but I hate this hair.

I like Chad. Go Chad! What is a typical San Francisco guy like? I don't know, but if they all look like him, I'm moving five hours north.

I wondered what Erin's friend meant by that too, maybe she just meant a big city guy rather than a smalltown guy. Do Sanfran guys have a bad reputation? Chad's my favourite also, I don't think Erin has any chemistry with Wade. I don't know if either of them would pick her over the money though.

I still think no person in their right mind would chose someone they've known for a few weeks over a million dollars. It's just not sensible, you can't know someone well enough in those situations in such a short time. That makes the whole show seem a bit weird for me.

YES! Rob is definitely strange. He creeps me out. There's something not right about him.

i have a question--wasn't this supposed to be a 2 hour grand finale of this whole craziness? now they are doing a reunion show, with the other show about marrying someone's dad off (something i refuse to even give attention to) to fill out the rest of the night (FLOM always goes past 10:00). i hope they haven't forgotten that erin hasn't won or lost yet :). does anyone else remember this? thanks :)

Shelb724--Exactly what I was wondering too! I guess they're just to announce who she choose and whether they take the money or not then go over to the reunion segment?

When I saw my TV Week I thought there had been some error in print or that I had missed last weeks episode which I tape religiously I might add! lol Thought I was losing my mind! dontknowyet

I think Erin will lose. Just a feeling I don't know why.

I think tonight is ONLY a reunion show for the first FLOM. Next week will be the finale for FLOM2.

Warning for those who have TiVo - you need to specially program to catch tonight.

Yes, it's only the Reunion show. They are billing it as a reunion of both season's cast, but I think they must mean just season 1, as it would give too much away if they showed season 2 members.

Next monday is the finale.

I think it is a reunion for BOTH shows, since they did them back to back. If they do it like the other reality shows have done, they will probably have all the original guys, but not include Wade and Chad, since we don't know yet who the winner is (and won't until next week's 2-hour finale--could they stretch this show out anymore????) and they don't want to give it away. I'm hoping Chad will win, since he and Erin seem to have the most chemistry. Would serve her right if the final guy picks the money over her, but I am a sucker for a happy ending so hope she really does find love.

As for Madelane's question about what is a "typical San Francisco guy," I lived (and dated) in the Bay for several years, and I can tell you that there are a lot of guys in SF (the ones who aren't gay--maybe the gay ones are, too, but I never dated any of them--hee!) who are just out to have a good time and aren't interested in a commitment. A lot of them are more interested in their jobs than a relationship. I nearly despaired of ever meeting anyone until I met BabyJaxDad. :)

Well, according to the female host of the reunion show, FLOM is a "cultural phenomenon". WHat a load of crap.

Oh I don't know. I think you guys should have watched a bit just so you could have seen Rob's new haircut. You would have laughed so hard...

I thought Rob's new hair arrangement was almost as strange as his old 'do! What, did he decide to have different styles on the two sides of his head?
