If Zach wins, expect every dork, dweeb, and nerd in America to start acting like a--holes.

I hope Melana realizes the consequences of picking the show's only a--hole.

Dennis, you shot yourself in the foot more than any other guy on the show. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY would you tell her you're a thirty-five-year-old virgin (so soon after meeting her)? Not all information needs to be shared right away.

If Brad doesn't win, I expect him to be arrested within six months for violating a restraining order. He's a total freak.

John, poor guy doesn't realize what a pity kiss is. Probably the first time in his life he's ever been kissed on the lips. If a girl gives you a peck, it doesn't mean she's madly in love with you.

Which one was Brad again? The cleancut guy with dark hair who told Malena he hadn't had sex with a lot of women while he was giving her a massage? That was one of several cring-worthy moments.

That was very sad.

I don't think I've ever watched a program where I have so much.

Most "dorky" guys know that game already but have enough respect not to treat women that way. Still, there probably will be a rise in the classic ******* treatment. Despite my actions around here , I'm a pretty good guy in real life, yet I definitely went through my "be an ******* to get laid" phase when I was a teenager. That whole "be yourself, and treat women with respect" thing never worked half as good as "be a dick, objectify her body, and treat her like shit in public." Women love that shit ... God knows why.

As for Brad, I agree ... dude's got issues. He's the one talking about how, "if the group voted, they would have sent me. She's just picking him to weed him out ..." Jackass. I'm surprised she kept him around ... actually, I'm not.

The first episode was a bit fun and interesting, but this one was really hard to watch. It bordered on cruel at times - not really the episode itself, but what the show is doing to these guys. I don't think some of them are really emotionally stable enough when it comes to relationships to be on this show.

And is it any wonder that John takes a simple kiss so seriously when he starts crying over his "best friend," a guy he only met a couple days earlier, getting sent home?

Yeah, but nobody was forced to be on this show.

"Reality TV"'s sole purpose is to exploit people, yet the exploited people ALWAYS have a choice. I refuse to ever give any of those people any sympathy.

I hated how they kept promoing the "twist that will shock us all" and told us to stay tuned in to see it, then never showed it and said it would be next week.

Next week they'll probably say it'll be the next week, so on and so on. How much longer is this show going on, anyway? till Dec?

Let's look at the facts about the upcoming twist:

1. We see a door opening with a blinding light behind it.

2. We see Malena's jaw drop in shock.

3. We hear one of the guys say "Oh my God!"

Could it be...The Second Coming?

For some reason, I have a feeling it could be someone well known from another reality show. Don't most reality show contestants have a 'no-compete' window of 1-2 years?

Well, that was NBC, too, so maybe it's a network thing.

My guess: ex-boyfriend who only broke up with her because of life circumstances (long-distance, alcohol rehab, death in the family, etc.).

That's what I said to my wife. The second he told her he was a virgin I said he would be eliminated.

DAAAANG! I think I know what the twist is!!!

POSSIBLE BIG SPOILER (although it's still just a guess):
Spoiler:
A friend of mine sent me a link to a website that's Dennis'. He's actually an actor and from the pics, he's actually not a bad looking guy at all. My guess is they're going to bring him back all spruced up and looking all GQ'ed out. Here's the link...http://killerreel.com/dennis_luciani...s_luciani.html

Spoiler:
I've read that Dennis is an actor. That would make sense they'd bring him back since they like him.
Kinda like the new Joe Millionaire brings someone back, probably Linda.

Are these reality shows trying to play God?

Also: my wife said Dennis wouldn't be that bad if he fixed his teeth and got a better haircut. I think losing the glasses would help. Maybe those are fake teeth?

I'm wondering if that should be in spoiler tags, Buford?

I added them but I'm not sure if it was needed since it was speculative and the basic info about the person's elimination was already posted.

Anyone have an opinion?
