Reality show "For Love And Money" on NBC

DVD Talk Limited Edition
Great concept ... someone mentioned that the idea was "stolen" from a thread on DVDtalk.
I like the show. 6 episodes may be a bit short. 5 more girls get the boot/burn on the next episode.
I think Rob is bland and repeats himself with the girls ... what else is there to say but how's it going ... I like your _ insert _ clothing/bodypart/personality trait.
I am *hoping* beyond hope that there will be another twist
That would be GREAT tv.

I thaught it was good overall..
My favourite girls are:
Paige (a little ditsy but very cute). What's with the "I'm not a virign but a reminder to myself ring"??
The Burnette with the dimples and whom he said looked very sophisticated (I cant think of her name)
Christina looked good too and she seemed to have a good head on her shuolders
My Least favourite:
Kelley (The alcoholic egotistical superficial one)
The black girl who had a great body but NO personality. She was so conceded. Major turn off for me
PS As for the "stud du jour" Rob I agee with what other's have said he was about as interesting as watching a faucet drip.

For latecomers, you can check out the women here:

I didn't really think Paige was all that.
Erin is the brunette "sophisticated" one. She reminded me of a combination of Nancy O'Dell (Nashville Star host) and Sandra Bulloch.
The first one he picked, Christina, is stacked!
I want Kelley gone as well. What an unpleasant superficial wench!
I'm ambivalent towards Stacey, though it was funny to watch Rob get all tongue-tied in front of Stacey (and in front of all the other girls at that same time). Her legs are too skinny.

Decent crop of girls. That black girl has an incredible body. Rob is definitely bland but I assume a lot is nervousness.

I agree that Rob seemed boring, but I attribute a lot of that too nervousness as well. It looks like he breaks out of his shell a little too much next week.

I don't know about anybody else, but everything about this show screamed FOX... right up to the production values and the cheesy music. Kinda surprised it's on NBC. They also thin the herd pretty quickly, cutting five the first episode and five the next episode (out of only 15).
I don't know how much of that last selection was staged, but it did look like Paige made him change his mind. It was almost too perfect, though, since the last girl was the one who mutilated Paige's picture, right?
It may be due to nervousness, but the guy reminds me a lot of Joe Millionaire... although he has a better job. Nothing besides his looks makes him seem very attractive... and next week's "wild" episode should be interesting. I'm sure a bunch more of the girls will be going for the money instead.
Did I miss something, or did the host not explain to the girls that they can pick either the money, or the man? Will it be explained to them later?

They don't know and that is part of the twist. They have to pick one or the other. I assume that means that they give them the check and say you have to leave the mansion immediately and leave the guy hanging.
Granted, I assume they could hook up later.

I'll continue to watch it just because it's short and there isn't much else on. I'd probably watch it anyway because it is 1/2 way fun.
I get frustrated at times because sometimes it could be SO MUCH better in many ways.
The best scenario for me would be to see:
The guy be portrayed as basically broke but handsome/nice and have potential (so they couldn't say the broke part showed a lot about him as a person).
The option to the girl at the end choose between a sum of money (maybe a bit less than a million, maybe $250k or something) or the guy.
The guy could know about this but have the girls also know, but have the girls THINK the guy doesn't know about it.
Have the final girl basically be head over heels in love with him, but because of being broke, and being a gold-digger too, take the cash.
Then reveal the guy is basically a billionare!

The guy, Rob, really seems like a major mope. I am curious to see what he does next week to get them all pissed at him. Seems like he might have had a little too much to drink...

Whether or not they choose the money, Rob is an attorney, so it's not like there is no possibility of being financially stable. It would be better if they made the guy a low income person like Joe Millionaire instead of someone that women would most likely chase after anyway.

But he's in criminal defense (and sometimes people just aren't crazy about that type of law practice...until they need one in that line of work, of course).

Aw man, he let one of my faves go...
This guy Rob is a schlub. The way he draws out his words makes him sound so pathetic. If there wasn't a $1 million prize at stakes, most of these women would be leaving the compound in droves!
Is it just me, or does Kelly remind you of Minnie Driver (but with straight hair and an American accent)?

I was disappointed to see that he let
go. I thought the former was gorgeous, funny/goofey and the later was just flat-out beautiful.
Laura is still my fave. And Erin is growing on me.
Paige just grates on my nerves.
