That's an insult to truckers! :D

Cassia-- so pretty with the softer makeup and new hair. She cleans up nice. Brett/Daya-- Daya has grown on me. I think she is fundamentally a nice person, just no filter about crappy rings and the wrong flowers. She will be a good stepmom to Cassidy. Brett is still kind of gross. Love his rationale for seeking a wife from the Philipines. Translation: "I want a woman who can't ever leave me cuz she has no legal recourse!" Amy-- She really impresses me. I admire her for being so patient and loving toward her racist father-in-law. May be that is the right approach after all. Danny still seems very weak though. Chels/Yami-- lol. She must have read the comments about living in the baserment. Yamir is so cute! I hope he can still do something music related. Evelin-- gorgeous as usual, Jason, clueless and dorky as usual. Danni/Mo-- I shudder every time she buries her head on his shoulder. She's clearly living in her own delusional system.

Totally agree. I am also tired of over-the-top weddings that cost thousands and will prolly end in divorce anyway. The simplicity is kind of refreshing. Chelsea's hippie wedding was very ..er.. "sustainable," and well suited to her. At least nobody could accuse her of being a materialistic bridezilla. I think she and Yamir really love each other, hopefully down the road he won't resent her for breaking up the boy band. Dani is the only bridezilla here-- she's totally bought into the fantasy presented by those wedding shows and is so fixated on having her pretty pretty princess dress and party day that nothing else(- like the reality of what happens AFTERWARDS)matters. The Dani/Mo situation imakes makes wonder about the vigilance of homeland security I don't think Mo is a terrorist at all, just an incompetent Gigolo, but the fact that this joke of a marriage even took place makes me think somebody is asleep at the wheel.

Wow. Evelin was just gorgeous. The others all looked pretty too. Glad Cassia lost the winged eyeliner, but wish she had ditched the hair and pink lipstick. Jason's father seems to have warmed to her-- they had a cute moment together,

I think if you make your religion the defining characteristic of your identity and you fail to live up to it, critcisms like "that's so un-Christian" are valid. But as you say, I didn't get the sense that Reed was doing that, unlike some players who are constantly invoking their faith like Coach or Brandon Hantz. I enjoyed Reed's speech for what it was--campy attention-whoring at its finest-- kinda like his random heel-stretches and splits with beautifully pointed toes. LOL

LOL. I don't know what possessed her to throw the "I haz no uterus gambit." It was like she was answering a pageant question about how she would use her survivor winner's platform to help others. Sorry Jacks, no dice.

lol@Survivor: Class warfare!

I liked this too-- she was clear-eyed and unsentimental with her moves. No fake hand-wringing over loyalty and friendship, but also not a jerk about things.

Yay! She did it. Nat and Sandra are my fave winners. Nat had it all-- competitive in challenges, killer strategy, and great social game.

Heh,heh nicely done Reed.

...and right away the integrity and chronic disease cards are played. Really lame. Natalie FTW.

So relieved-- go Nat! I thought she was dead meat when she said outright she could win, but thankfully she's still there. Not much of a choice for Jaclyn-- she would lose against either Keith or Nat.

Yeah that's what I don't get. Mo is on national TV brazenly gaming the system and Immigration does absolutely nothing about it. WTF?

...and yet he ate Cake. LOL.

That was painful to watch. "Do you promise to cherish, love, and honor her so long as you both shall live?" "Mmm hmmm...uh...yes."

That's Renee? Dayum. At first glance I thought that was was a DUDE's picture.

Oliver is totally gorgeous. Heh. though I know it means "Vienese" in German, "Wiener Models" makes the adolescent in me chuckle.

Don't forget Sandra (one of my faves). I hope Nat can take it. I've been rooting for her all season. So glad that the "golden couple," is broken up. Have fun sipping your merlot at Ponderosa Jon!

I think Will is way hotter than the Austrian winner. Grrr...stupid Keith...

I think you're right-- someone who's all idealism (which goes with her hippie vibe) but no pragmatism.

Arggh I tripped up on "river." I immediately thought of _Deliverance_. Bummed because I loved The Last Picture Show-- beautiful, beautiful film.

Cassia and Jason-- Every time I look at Cassia I want someone to kidnap her and give her an emergency makeover. That crazy ombre-effect hair is driving me nuts-- it's like an oil spill in a wheat field. The winged eyeliner is maddening too. I mean, she's no model, but if she got some decent hair and makeup she'd be a pretty girl. Even as she is now, she's too good for Jason whose flat affect and elderly appearance creep me out to no end. I think some of these guys (such as this massive ahole) who "import" foreign wives think that once they get them here they don't need to be attentive or make romantic gestures because the act of "rescuing" a poor woman from her awful country should be sufficient to earn him a lifetime of gratitude, sex on demand, and housekeeping services without having to exert any further effort. That or they think that a women from foreign countries automatically have lower romantic/material standards than all those"spoiled" American women who have caught on that they are undateable loser douchebags. Jason and Evelin-- Meh. I think she's a nice lady. I give him credit for making a romantic gesture. I just think he comes off awkwardly on camera. Their relationship is probably the least problematic and therefore the least interesting. Amy/Danny: He knows she's the best woman he'll ever "get" so he wants to rush to the altar. She's too naive and inexperienced to realize HOW MUCH BETTER she can do than milquetoast Danny who is probably her first serious relationship. Sigh. I hate watching her make this big mistake with her life. Brett/Daya: Excited to see her go off on the MIL next week (judging by preview clips)! Mo/Danielle: Okay, so if the INS supposedly cares about fraud, how the hell did Mo not get weeded out by them already? This case is just one huge-ass red flag. Anyhoo...I hope they don't EVER consumate their marriage...the thought of them doing it is so gross... Yamir/Chels: Bad career move, Yamir. Poor guy, you should have stayed in Nicaragua, made money off the band while it lasted, and THEN come to the states when that short-lived fame dried up. I don't know if Chelsea is selfish-- maybe just dumb?

When will people learn? If you're mediocre in looks and status that hot bikini model/chippendale's dancer is not going to go for you no matter how nice a person you are or how good your heart is. That picture you are corresponding with is either a)a fat chick/dude b)someone screwing with you. That's the freaking outcome of practically every episode.

It's like some of these contestants think that they're entitled to win because they've had a difficult or relatively difficult life or something-- puhleeaze just spare me the violins. Yeah, I don't know what happened to all Keith's football money-- bad investments? Pissed it all away? I guess Keith's an ok winner-- he's handsome and he has a great body, but he's also kind of boring and wooden. Who knows if he'll get much work-- Tyra's endorsement seems to be like the fashion kiss of death.

Shit. I wish I had been wrong. :(
