I haven't read all the posts, but I'm trying to think who the HECK Erin reminds me off.
erin

Kind of Nancy O'Dellish (I think) but someone else too. Who is it she reminds me of? Anyone have any ideas. You'd notice more during the show.

mga: Good call on Erin/Nancy O'Dell. I think that is the person. However, she does look a little like someone else. Now this is really going to bug me. It may be that either her eyes, nose or smile match someone else.

Nancy O'Dell is good though. For a second I thought of Nia Peoples, but no.

I thought she looked a lot like Sandra Bullock.

I thought Erin looked like a cross between Sandra Bullock and What's Her Name Crosby (of Dallas fame).

I thought Erin looked like Cindy Crawford.

As for PAige's page: LOL! OMG! Does she have groupies or something? Hmmm... do you think random people would buy t-shirts with my name on them? I don't get it...

I'm glad he kept her over the he-man-she-man chick who was a pain in the a**, but I still can't believe Paige is 21. Even at 21 she would be too young for him, but I demand a birth certificate because I'd swear she was only about 14, 16 at most!

Anybody watch 48 hours last night? There was a story about a Brothel in New Orleans and 3 woman, a girl, her mother and her grandmother that worked there. The mother looked just like this girl LOL

thank goodness for the million dollar prize because the guy sure is a dud. evan may have been as dumb as a box of rocks but at least he brought sense of humor to joe millionaire. my fave is the materialistic kelly and my least fave is the childish paige. i was kind of hoping they would keep the girl who got booted. only because i didnt like her. she stirred the kettle just right. i learned early in my big brother 1 years that if you dont care for them, keep them around a little longer, otherwise it gets boring.

Bbfan - Exactly. I too wanted to see the troublemaker stay. I would have loved to see how her and Kelly would have ganged up on the other contestants, and then turned on one another.

It will be interesting to see how the other personalities come across as the weeks go on, and as the numbers dwindle. Somehow I bet that being one of 6 who has a possibility of winning 1 000 000 instead of 1 of 15, will bring out a lot sharper nails!!!

I wonder what the 'disaster' that strikes in the next episode will be? To me, 'disaster' implies someone getting hurt?

Anyone have any ideas?

I think we'll have plenty of catfights without she-man.. in fact they were bonding with each other because of her actions, so now they can start squabbling even more.

The disaster.. well from the teasers it looked like maybe he got too frisky in the pool or hottub? Not sure. I assume he didn't drown any of them..

I think he might have got a little naked in the hottub, not sure, but that's what I thought the trailers suggested.

Interesting twist to have the women wondering whether he's worth the $1M, I doubt that's what the producers expected!

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??

Tonight's the night! Finally something new on TV (besides reruns!).

From a post at SS:

JUNE 9--The star of a new NBC reality TV series had his military career derailed after he drunkenly groped the breasts of a Navy officer after barging uninvited into the woman's dormitory room early one morning, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Rob Campos, the 33-year-old attorney starring in the program "For Love or Money," was headed for a career in the Marine Corps Judge Advocate General (JAG) unit, when the drunken escapade occurred in mid-1999 at the Newport Naval Station in Rhode Island. As a result, Campos was expelled from the JAG training program, slapped with an administrative punishment, and ordered to enroll in a substance abuse treatment program. The incident effectively ended his military career--Campos was subsequently allowed to leave the Marine Corps 20 months before his service commitment expired, a truncated tenure that apparently did not bother military commanders. In a reflection of his damaged goods status, Campos left the Marines having never been promoted from his original rank as a lowly second lieutenant.

According to an NBC spokesperson and Bruce Nash, executive producer of "For Love or Money," Campos did not disclose to them his checkered military career. In fact, after TSG contacted Nash Friday and gave him a brief outline of our story, he directed private investigator Mike Miller, who conducted detailed "For Love or Money" background checks, to contact Campos. According to Miller, when he asked Campos whether there was anything irregular about his JAG service, Campos answered, "Absolutely nothing. Nothing. Nothing."

During a brief interview Friday afternoon, Campos said he did not disclose the incident because, "I thought it was a private matter. I thought it was over." And, he surely would have realized, disclosing the incident would have precluded him from being tabbed for the role of the hunky, desirable bachelor. It's a safe bet that NBC would have blanched at casting him opposite female contestants who would have been entitled to know about the chink in Prince Charming's armor.

Despite Campos being booted from JAG school, his online NBC biography states that he "joined the U.S. Marine Corps as a Judge Advocate." And his bio on the web site of the Dallas law firm where he works is more misleading: Campos claims that after "his initial training, Rob stayed on and served in the JAG Corps...Rob gained a great deal of experience in the JAG Corps and the experience was rewarding and fulfilling for him."

"For Love or Money," which debuted June 2 to strong ratings, features Campos and 15 women angling to be selected by the bachelor as his future mate. The show's twist--of which Campos was not apprised while recently filming the series--involves the winner being asked to choose between continuing her relationship with Campos--or walking away from him for $1 million. At the conclusion of the reality show's premiere, a preview of tonight's episode included shots of Campos cavorting, drink in hand, in a pool with several contestants. The promo then cuts to footage of some of the women complaining bitterly about Campos. He is then seen apologizing for his behavior. While the teaser does not further explain what Campos did, Nash said the tipsy bachelor placed his boot on a contestant's rear and then gave the woman a push. But don't be surprised if that little boozy vignette somehow magically gets edited out of this evening's program.

I came to post the same link, but being on the West Coast, too late. It is worth reading the whole thing.

I feel slimed.

There is not even the thinnest shred of feeling left (if I ever had any) for that time when
this guy is left alone while his "chosen" boogies off with a million $$$.
