HOLD ON!!! NO PROPOSAL??? What was the damn point?

XOAlumXO · #32 04-26-2002, 08:46 AM

I think the 'no proposal' was a good thing. It's only been 5 weeks and I am sure they thought it was too soon. Maybe he bought it to let her know where his intentions are?

Someone please update on GMA. I didn't get to see it...

LexiKD · #34 04-26-2002, 10:33 AM

I am so mad that Amanda was the one that I don't even know where to begin.

All I want to know is if they were allowed to keep the HW ring!

Hootie · #35 04-26-2002, 01:18 PM

Okay, here are my final thoughts. First off, I'm glad they aren't engaged...I'm glad he's not engaged to ANY of them. It was a weird situation and too soon. Granted I do believe in infatuation at first site, but even 5 weeks is a short time to know if you're "meant to be".
Secondly, wtf? Amanda is from small town Kansas and tight with her family. She'll be leaving it all behind for nothing. I mean, in my opinion, she won't be happy. Why? Because they aren't exclusive, they're NOT engaged, she won't know anyone...she'll have to readjust her life for him, and in the end, I bet she gets hurt (I'm not hoping she does, that's too cruel). I just know, from current situations, what it's like to leave home and family and friends all behind for love. It takes a LOT of adjusting...and I'm engaged...she isn't!

That show was taped in February, and we're almost in May. I wonder whether they are still together? If they should dissolve as a couple, I am sure that it will hit the media.

I wonder what ever happened to that girl who went on a date with the Prince in "Who Wants to Be a Princess?" (it was kind of a beauty pageanty type of show)??

It would be ridiculous if they actually became engaged under the circumstances of this show. On the other hand, I absolutely agree with DetaBetaBaby in "What's the Point!!!"

Most viewers were led to believe that something was gonna happen so it kinda makes the show a fraud. Perhaps they shoulda had a shotgun wedding...lol. Or better yet, shoot the series before it began.

Okay, I felt that Alex picking Amanda showed the kind of guy HE really is more than anything to do with the women. This guy is sort of a loser, and insecure to boot, but it was to be expected: if I only had 5 weeks, I'd probably chose the guy who was the most fun/sexiest as well. It's also probably a big ego boost to have someone fall in love with you in 5 weeks, and to take a small town girl and show her the "big city". However, what about after the fun times and great lust wears thin? Again, Shannon, if she can get some control of her issues, is wifey material, but I don't think that's what Alex was looking for. Trista was more mature with her emotions, which is to be expected with a 29+ year old woman--and she let her guard down like Alex had been hounding her to do for 5 weeks, gets intimate, and for what--a sorry and "thanks but no thanks" at the end!

The fact still remains that apparently our dear Amanda has recently had her marriage annulled, and apparently this guy was her former teacher 17+ years her senior (unconfirmed) and a "big" boob job, rumored to have been paid for by the now ex-husband. Rumor on the ABC.com boards is that Shannon or Trista and Alex will hook up. Hootie, I agree with you--she's in world of trouble to pack up and move for a guy without a ring. However, she's young--who knows, maybe she has other objectives (stardom comes to mind).

this guy screwed up big time. He should have slept with as many of them as possible.

CutiePie2000 · #40 04-26-2002, 02:26 PM

I don't know if the ABC webmaster is playing or what, cuz I sure did not see this on TV!
Read this Episode Summary....
http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/...001-02/64.html

The two go for a dip in the hot tub, and start to kiss. Alex breaks the news that the mansion he's staying in is a little different from his real apartment; Amanda doesn't seem to mind in the least. Later on, Amanda tells Alex how amazing she thinks he is, and that she is falling in love with him. They kiss some more, and Amanda tells Alex she has a surprise for him when they go back inside. They do, and Amanda surprises Alex … in a French maid's outfit. We hear the sounds of spanking behind the closed bedroom door.

Do you think the webmaster is joking? Or did they cut that for TV so we didn't see it?

Do you ever post anything that isn't at least remotely offensive? Reminds me of a certain other poster...

Anyway, did anyone see the follow up on GMA? I missed it and am curious...

xo_sue · #42 04-26-2002, 02:46 PM

This guy had it made- he got to play around with all these girls for five weeks, play with their heads and emotions, got some nooky, live the high life and in the end.... he didn't have to make any kind of committment - he didn't even have to give up the ring (which the network probably bought!).

I know each girl would be sued for 5 million dollars if they blabbed the outcome - what did they get for 1st & 2nd place? Hopefully something more than the opportunity to know this pig!

Alex is so lame. I hope the next time they choose a more interesting guy!

He's not even cute.

I agree now...I thought he was pretty striking looking at first, but then as I "got to know him," I became turned off by him. It's like eventually it doesn't matter what a guy looks like because a super sweet one becomes cute looking, and a downright rude mean one becomes the most repulsive person you have ever seen! Or at least that's what I have come to find true for me.
