I'm a fan of the show because, well, who doesn't like a train wreck? What I will never get is what's the hurry? My husband is from England & we did the long-distance relationship thing for at least 10 years before one of us took a leap of faith & moved. (He did.) This was before skype & facetime, even at the very beginning of the internet so neither of us had email. There were a LOT of phone calls, letters, and vacations in both countries. We hadn't spent more than 2 weeks in a row together when he came to California, so we had the same worries & doubts that these people do, about what normal workaday life would be vs. fun, vacation time. But at least we felt we'd got to know each other pretty well!
