yes well it was all about Michaels' girlfriend having a hard time keeping Jerome because everyone wants him out. I think she should not care what the others think and live this experience for her. If she is attracted to this guy Jerome then keep him.

They showed her talking to him about not being sure if to save him or not. Then when it came time for her to save him she chose another guy during the first round and in the second round she broke down in tears saying she did not want to make the decision but eventually chose JErome.

The blonde girl (don't remember her name), the one that does not watch the tapes, started a streak where she chose to date one of the other girl's date so then they all chose a different guy then the one they have been dating.

You did not miss anything spectacular really.

I taped Survivor and watched TI since I was not going to be home until about 9 and then saw Survivor later, so I know what you mean. If my VCR would have been broken I would have been upset.

I am way too hooked on these shows.

He is not the same guy. They look alot alike but the guy on Temptation Island is Derrick.

The guy on The Mole was an actor...Erik Vansomething. Darn, where is Neko? She would remember his last name, she had a crush on him. :)

oh Gosh! Does anyone else dislike Kristin. She is so annoying. I just want to wipe that annoying smirk off her face. Such a "goodytooshoes" I wish Melissa had tried to strangle her for me....urgh!!!!!

I guess they are just getting this show over with. Two hours last night and a two hour finale on MONDAY. I will survive without it, that's for sure.

Nearly everything about it is ridiculous. Michael taking himself so seriously, Kristin's smirks (I agree Danzdol), Jason's eyebrows, I could go on forever. If they do another season, they are insane.

Kristin actually smiled when she was returning to her seat after watching another girl's traumatizing tape. Stephanie's, I think.

I'm beginning to think her and her Kevin-Bacon lookalike got on TI for a free vacation and media exposure. Neither one seems that interested in the the singles. So far it sounds like the men are all wanting to be "committed" still, but Michael's woman (Melissa?), and Kara (Jason's woman) are the question.

I think Michael is gross and stupid. I was sure he'd spoken filth to Melissa, too, but when I learned from her he never had, I came to the conclusion he views the singles as wh---s (as opposed to his Madonna girlfriend--as in Madonna/wh--e complex, not the singer). That, or because he's desperate to be a player, he actually thinks dirty talk is "sophisticated". Did you see they blurred out something he was doing with his hands? And geez, whatever he was saying must have been really filthy for the tasteless FOX network not to closed-caption a portion of it with deleted words!

I only watched the second half. I have the other on tape, but it really is a boring show this time around. I bet the producers were annoyed by how little actual canoodling has gone on with the singles. Has anyone even KISSED on camera? At the bonfires, the couple people are all so guarded in what they say. I miss Mandy and her tears and the other girls' freakouts. And Mark Wahlberg talked it up like the "best ever." Ha!

The ratings are not good, so they're scrunching it up to get it over with, like Madelane said. Just as well. I read a commentary that said when the first one came out, it seemed like a really racy concept, but now with the glut of reality programming, it's just not that big a deal anymore.

I think I read Michaels'lips saying "I put my hand.........." when they blurred the hand motion part.

Yes Kristin kept smirking at all of the tapes specially Melissa's. I have to side with Melissa. WHo is she to tell her who she should choose. It is her choice and she is not going to throw out the guy she has an attraction to.

Michael is a huge dork and he drives me nuts the way he talks.

I still think it's a good concept of a show. I think in order for it to be more effective it needs to be longer so that the couples have more time apart.

What was that whole bit about Kristin not living with her boyfriend...does she live with her parents? Why did Melissa say she was a "sheltered little girl"?

Yeah, I never got the thinking that the girls should toss guys the OTHERS don't get along with. This isn't Big Brother or Survivor! They shouldn't toss anyone they think they might have a connection with.

That said, after seeing yet more of Michael's stupidity, and now Jerome, I'm thinking Melissa has terrible taste in men. She seems to be stuck in "rescuer" mode--"I'm the only one who understands him," "he needs me," "He may seem brash and unrefined, but deep down, he's a good guy--and only I am enlightened enough to see it." Followed naturally by, "I will change him for the better."

Did I read right or did it say Jerome was an interior designer? If that is the case, I do not see it...........

I feel embarassed that I have watched all the shows and still do not know the names of the people on it! Is this one doing poorly in the ratings? Seems like they are just trying to end it.
My biggest complaint is Kristen (blonde curly haired girl). I think it is totally unfair that she and her boyfriend are not watching the tapes. And yes, I also believe that she and her BF came on the show for a vacation. I would have yanked them right away. She is so smug about not watching her tape and yet she runs over to stand behind the other girls to watch theirs. I wish the girls would turn to her and say, "sorry honey, if you are not even going to watch your tape then you are certainly not going to watch mine".

Is anyone else dying to know what Michael was saying? It must have been pretty bad. I agree with the assessment that he (Michael) is trying to live out some fantasy where he regards the single women as wh@res and can get away with that kind of talk.
I missed the beginning of the show so I did miss the fight/blow-up at the mens side. Thanks to those who spoiled, as I was a bit lost.

I completely missed the blowup between the tattoo guy and the Single, Sandy is it? What happened there?

I thought I liked the blonde girl, Kristen, but now I see her as a snooty busy body. How dare she tell Melissa to get rid of the one guy who interests her. I don't care if he is a creep, it's her creep to choose! And then her whole "I could get a restraining order" was just high drama. She looks down her noses as the other girls and their boyfriends and smirks about the anguish they're feeling. Her and her boyfriend are totally just there for a vacation. We see no footage of him because he's not doing anything. That's fine that they are committed and not interested in doing this reality experiment, but whoever cast them for the show must be really disappointed!

I am so glad you guys see what I see in Kristen. She is so nosey!! And she was being self-serving and inconsiderate when she went after Melissa knowing that Melissa's boyfriend is being a creep.

I think that if I was one of the other single girls I would be nice to Melissa even if I didn't like her. It would be difficult to be mean to someone who is finding out such horrible things about her boyfriend.

I always sort of glaze over with this show on, so it is hard to deeply care about any of them, but Kristin makes me want to slap that smug snide smile off her face.

Its that weird pursed lips puss that Jason puts on that is so annoying to me. He's a Vin Diesel wannabe, and a big bully. I so wished that Sandra's parting shot to him would have been a wish that his precious Kara someday make a judgement error and that there be a big bully to degrade and humiliate her in front of a group. He's a loser.

I was pretty surprised that the finale is coming so soon, I personally have enjoyed this season and will miss this show. Krisin definitely has come off snotty and appearing to think she's above it all, I loved the episode when she went on the date with Derrick (I think) and he was bored out of his skull cuz all she did was gossip, lol.

I think all the couples will stay together with the exception of possibly Melissa and Michael. Michael has been so blatantly disrespectful and his true colors have really been shown. But I'm still expecting all the couples to do the usual "No one is you!" speech. But I would very much like to see Melissa dump Michael on his ass.

I hope this show comes back again.

I read on another board that Kristen is the stand-in for the actress who plays Marissa on the OC. She's an actress wannabe, so that was her real motivation for going on this show--screen time.

I'd like the show to come back, too. Maybe as a summer show instead of into fall, so it gets more air time.

This season was not as good as the last one, but I'm watching it anyway. I'm a sucker for these kinds of shows. I think the ratings haven't been so good and that's why they are ending it early. My friend dated the single guy Jerome for about 6 months. She says he's really quiet and a nice guy. He doesn't really seem that way to me on the show. Remember the fight when he was in the pool? She's been trying to get in touch with him for a few weeks now and she hasn't been able to. Maybe he's gone "Hollywood" or something.
