(I'm hoping I didn't just confuse who was who, but I remember this specifically)

Speaking as someone who worked at Nordstrom one summer in college, I can say that Nordstrom pays a lot better than what you may think. Especially with commission. There are plenty of people there that make quite a nice living.

Is she divorced? The property may have been purchased while in a marriage.

Nordstrom's only been open for less than a year here, I think. But who knows, maybe she makes enough. But Sewickley is a VERY pricey area, so 20 acres would cost a bundle.

She kind of annoys me, but at the same time she seems to be much more of a real person than many of the other contestants.

I feel bad saying this, but the woman who is a widow frightens the hell out of me. I think she is just plain scary, drag-queen 50 year old looking. She seems like a good person, but just creeps me out.

I thought the girl who got the most roses was the one that was a lacrosse coach with a 14 month old son, who kept lecturing the girls on single parenthood.

I really wanted to hug the widowed mom with the daughter, and then give her a make up lesson!! Every other girl had subdued makeup and hers was just so jarringly overdone. I'm glad she got a rose and hope somebody takes her under their wing and tells her eyeliner and lip liner like that went out a long time ago unless you are in a girl gang.

How pathetic was the girl who quit her job? She was personality-less. I think it was a pity rose.

I thought the most genuine girl was the one who got the "first impression" rose. I liked her.

I think I will like this season, but I am still somewhat queasy about the exploitation factor of having his son, a 4 year old, filmed for this type of thing (with all the nutjobs out there). I'm curious how his ex-wife feels about her son being on national tv. He is a cute kid and I hope this works out for them...

I know you did a typo, but I would say that she got THORNS from the other girls, not roses. hee

I'm so glad that he got rid of Nicki (or whatever that blond girl's name was that he took to Vegas)

I loooooooved that she got all pissed off and started cussing. I bet when he sees that he's going to be glad he didn't give her a rose

This girl wanted to elope? Seriously?

Best season ever.

If I were to create a drinking game around this show, it would have to be whenever the word "amazing" is used.

Like I said, she needs a makeover. Her makeup is what makes her look old and drag queenish. There was a shot of her in the previews of the upcoming season where she was by the pool with less makeup and she looked about 15 years younger.

Poor thing, whoever taught her that more is better -

Less is More.

Yeah, woops, I meant votes!

Thanks for catching it.

I found out that Ericka is an Alpha Chi Omega. Graduated from URI in 2005. Some younger chapter members of mine remember her. I haven't watched the episode yet, but I did hear she got a rose.

And to your second comment, right on! So many seemingly normal people just become unhinged on this show.

That's the only reason to watch it

Anyone watch Ellen? She thinks she caught him almost saying that yes he was engaged to DeAnna (I dont know who any of these people are, but I thought I would share). She replayed it and I think he was about to say yes he was......

I'm watching it now....others before me have said to pay attention around the 5:15 mark.

I'm going to take a guess right now that he picks either Jillian or Melissa.

My money is on Melissa. I've read a few spoiler boards and also Melissa and DeAnna were basically separated at birth in terms of similarities, looks-wise.
