This show is incredibly real -- but it must be said that it is like watching a car wreck or a show about hurricanes destroying peoples homes.

If you don't want to see girls crying because they feel rejected, don't watch.

I was surprised how much Mandy (redhead) was crying, yet she is totally a flirt, and shown kissing someone in a show preview... All the girls cried except Valerie. Interesting!

Maybe it's a sign of my age, morality, upbringing or sense of privacy, but I will not watch this show and did not find it in the least interesting. For people who are supposedly couples to willingly attempt to "get to know" other males/females, particularly when they know how hurt their current mates will feel, is beyond my comprehension. Yes, I understand morals are not what they once were, but I for one do not enjoy seeing people hurt emotionally for the sake of alleged "entertainment" of viewers.

Bring on Big Brother II and Survivor II!!

There is speculation that at least one of the couples are 'swingers'.

One of the couples has a baby.

One couple is incredibly young.

They all want a fling before getting married and are finding a great excuse for it. Too bad its on national tv.

How young is "incredibly" young, OI? They all looked pretty young to me.

I should have said one couple is incredibly young and immature looking.

Isn't it obvious? The guy who looks like he's 12 and they've only been together 1.5 yrs

I thought the videos they were shown tonight, with their creative titles were good. They had no idea who they would be seeing on the tape, or what they would see. My favourite one was the Sex Advice, with the guys talking about how Mandy acted on her date with Johnny, and how Billy had gone to Vanessa's room. Kaya yelling out "ride em cowboy" was classic!!! I laughed so hard. Valerie was really upset by it.... She's looking way too hard for things he is doing wrong. She always looks sooooo paranoid!!!

It looks like Billy is breaking out of whatever shell he was in. Apparrantly he was doing some uncharacteristically wild stuff. What they all need to realize is that they are all exhibiting the same uncharacteristic behavior in one form or another.

Seems to me the producers are toying with these people, showing them certain clips of video to manipulate their emotions. Tonights videos were tame. It think this is to keep the people interested in seeing the videos, then one day (like maybe next week or the week after or whenever) they'll dump a big heavy duty video on them...something really nasty, like their boyfriend/girlfriend totally getting it on with someone or whatever. Know what I mean!?

It's all manipulative, designed to make the players jealous and to control their reactions. It's good!

Neil, Lisa, I can only imagine what you guys are saying to each other while watching this! I take that back--I can't imagine, but wish I could!

Tuk, that is indeed what they need to do--although just by the fact they made the choice to test their relationship this way may well indicate the road you mentioned will be a road with no travelers.

Mandy is an incredibly immature girl. She is flipping out over that little strip tease dance? C'mon, I think her behavior has been more risque then his. I can't believe I watch this show and Love it! What is the world coming to..LOL

I agree Resortgirl. I couldn't believe how immature Mandy was, saying she hadn't done anything trashy on TV!!! She really needs to grow up. Don't you guys think she's beautiful though? Her appearance seems to change every clip. I think she's stunning!

Enbwife... she is striking! Unfortunately when she opens her mouth it detracts from her beauty. She's young though and hopefully she will grow up and use her gifts wisely!

Mandy is impossible to take my eyes off. She is extraordinary looking. She's very young and very stupid to have ever got herself into this mess in the first place, but she's impossible to forget, so maybe it will work for her.

The guys that have gone out on dates with her so far have echoed the fact that she is very sweet and very beautiful. The first guy compared her to a mermaid...with all that hair, how could you not? The second guy thought he would be better for her than Billy. The third guy had much the same to say.

I think that the problem with Mandy is that Billy has allowed her alot of leeway in their relationship. He admits that she flirts and that she can get along with anyone. I think what bothers her is that she always had that "safe" base to come back to...Billy. When Billy starts acting totally different than she invisioned, it knocks the blocks out from under their relationship. Billy is supposed to be her "safe haven" and Billy has become someone she does not recognize.

You wanna talk pretty ... Have any of you seen the cover of this weeks US magazine? WOW, Mandy looks amazing and so does Billy. All the boys have this trendy hair cut (sticking up) and clearly the girls had some work done as well.
They all look very good in there matching white swimsuits. The article talks about Mandy wanting to be a Rock star ... and Billy an actor. I think Mandy will extend her 15 minutes by quite a bit. She is young and she has a very unique look.

I'm glad Taheed and Ytossie seemed to have worked something out. I'm still not sure how stable their feelings are but they seem serious about each other.

As for the other couples, I think Billy and Vanessa are enjoying themselves. That may turn out to be something.

Andy's date seemed to be all about herself instead of reciprocating the romance. Maybe she needs to just hire a houseboy.

As for Valerie, she is a total wet blanket. She's no fun to be around and she left her date alone on the couch in his own room at 9PM. I'm sure he's having a blast. NOT.

What I'm still not clear on is how these couples will carry on, if they decide to, when most of them live across the country from each other? Long distance boyfriend/girlfriend relationships don't last most of the time. I think they are also being blinded by the atmosphere. Take that away and you will have a problem with a few.

I guess that about sums up this week.

I'm not buyin' the Taheed/Ytossie reconciliation. I'm really curious to know if it stuck. I might be too suspicious, but it seemed a prime opportunity for Taheed to put on his best camera face and say what would look good. Remember, Ytossie said he always puts on a front so people think he's great, but the behind-the-scenes Taheed is often very different in his actions. I hope they worked it out for the sake of their child (and they need lots of individual counseling, IMHO,not just couples counseling), but I have my doubts.

I'm not sure any of them continued their relationships.

Billy/Mandy: Mandy is SOOO young, emotionally. She's much too immature to be settling down yet. Even if she and Billy do get back together, I think it will be after a break. I think they are a great couple, but definitely not at the same emotional maturity level.

Valerie/Kaya: Kaya seems so all about himself. (What was that tripe about him "discovering his bok value" or something?) Valerie seems so all about Kaya. Not a good balance in a relationship. Kaya seems to feel that they agreed to go into this experience, play it to the max, and have no regrets. Valerie doesn't seem to be very comfortable with that. I think Valerie really needs to develop more of a sense of herself as an individual and then find someone to complement that. All her talk of "having a visual" in her head of who Kaya is spending time with is just way too dramatic and needy. I felt sorry for Dano. He looked like he wished he'd been on the boat with the other guys.

Andy/Shannon: Andy impressed me early on with his thinking about how Shannon would react to things. He was the one guy who really seemed to be thinking beyond the moment through most of this (Megan was the biggest exception). He sure did get stuck in the bit about not getting the dream date location he wanted, though. Sort of petulant, which is not at all attractive. Shannon seemed pretty concerned about what he would think afterwards, too. At least until Tom turned her head a bit. Of all the couples, I think this is the one that MIGHT have a chance to stay together. Although it's a toss-up now after the dream date with Tom. Definitely, I think Andy is more interested in preserving their relationship right now than she is.
