P.S. Why are they always eating meat on a stick? So far it's 2 out of 2 (episodes).
LOL!!! I noticed the meat on the stick both times too!!!

I'm getting a vibe from this guy that he's just on this show to hook up with as many girls as possible. He's still young. From the way he acts, I don't think he's ready to settle down yet despite what he's saying.

A repeat episode was on while I was in Philly. I watched it with a guy friend of mine. He couldn't believe how these women were acting. He said it made many of them look sad and pathetic as if all they had nothing else going on for themselves. To the women who were crying about how they've never been in love etc., he kept saying, "Ohhh come on!!!" or "Suck it up already!" He thought many of them were very beautiful and needed to show more confidence and self-esteem. He did say the guy was the luckiest and happiest guy on earth to be surrounded by so many beautiful women.

I am over the teacher with the curly hair. I swear I want to punch her in the face. When she told him she was falling for him he just stared at her blankly and then was like well I think you are a great girl lol

The plus side was I did not see any meat on a stick this episode, although they did show them eating quite a bit. What about that Danielle chick when she was eating the chocolate covered banana? I was lmao

i caught my first episode last night and was disappointed-im fond of heather i think but overall there is just a lot of whining and crying..i cant stand the teacher either and i thought it was RIDICULOUS when she was telling him she was falling for him, the impression i got was that she was more interested in staying on the show than him. i like that heather talked positive most of the time.

I know, I let myself get sucked in too after I said I wouldn't watch it! a few of those prom dresses were really nice.

I kwym, re the food. the show is shameless in how much they play that up. Double yikes with the frozen banana! I so agree with the tears, one more drop and I may throw a shoe at the screen (or a brick). Bf and I watch it, and we groan and comment on all the silliness too. Notice how they got rid of 4 girls in one shot (sorry about Amanda!), I think they know they're going to have to wrap this baby up quickly!

I saw just a bit of the show, but am just really tired of reality tv, unless it's something productive (which never seems to be the case lately).

I just wonder why these women would want to do a show like this, and portray themselves as they are.

I think it's all pretty unfortunate, but the networks wouldn't be able to do these shows without people sticking up their hands to be in them.

I did notice a couple of them are large sized models, maybe it's for the exposure to boost their careers a little. the "no such thing as bad publicity" idea.

the octomom things is completely shameless, Fox 5, you need a serious spanking!!

lol don't even get me going on her !!!

You know what I don't get? Why can't there be something real life but informative and productive on tv??? I can't even stand watching TLC anymore. There are 3 darn shows on multiple birth families, and 3 about little people. Why can't they cut those back and give us something on a real life person that is overweight and doing something about it, and showing us their life and how they're doing it??!

Ugggghhh I really hate TV !

The thing is though, all these stupid shows are on, and people natter about them, but continue watching. And as long as there's ones willing to go on tv and those willing to watch, it all continues and makes the networks rich

I miss good tv.

hey, you should write a pitch and submit it to TLC or whatever station. I actually think that's a great idea. You know that guy that lost all that weight living with a personal trainer made a documentary of his efforts and it's been telecast. You might have to expand the concept using several people since some might have faster and better success than others. I bet a less gimmicky reality show about weight loss really would appeal to a lot of people.
