For Love or Money

[DocRafiki]

so, who else thinks they'll give the money to the girl even if she choses the guy?

 

[lulubelle]

Of course we are supposed to think they will get both...but I wouldn't be surprised if they throw a twist in there. Heck, maybe the girl will choose the $$$ instead of him! Ha! It seems like the one who is "head over heals" for him is the one he will pick, but who knows. I can't wait to see it tonight.

...Guess my answer was evasive, sorry

 

[Disney845]

Great twist at the end!!!

 

[CathyCanada]

Can someone PM me the end? I totally forgot it was on tonight!!!!

[TigerBear]

I missed it too. Can someone please tell us how it ended?

 

[Disney845]

Sent you a PM!

I haven't followed this show, but I have read about it.

My opinion of these women: GET A LIFE. Is it really worth it to suck up and kiss (or whatever) this guy knowing that he's doing the same thing with another bimbo the next day? Is the money or fame worth it? Not for me, but certainly for the contestants. I don't get intimate in real-life with a man who is screwing around; why would I on national TV?

 

[DocRafiki]

Would it be worth being able to retire 10-20 years earlier? HELL YES! These people will be recognized on the street for a couple of years, max. Then no one will care, and they'll still have a greatly-improved lifestyle, if they're smart.

I think that chick is silly silly silly for gambling like that. There's something fishy there, though. I mean, they already had this other show set up based on what her decision would be? So if she said, "No I'll take the million," it would have ended and they would have canceled the next show? Hmmm.

I can't believe anyone would give up a million $ for someone they just met a few weeks before AND has been dating other people at the same time they were dating you. It's so strange that they played some quotes from the guys that actually sounded like some would be willing to pick her over the money. Silly, silly, silly.

I give Erin alot of credit for chosing the money. I kept falling asleep but luckly woke up for the end. I can't wait to see the twist now with her and 15 guys.

 

[wdwnutze]

I tried to stay awake for the very end but fell asleep while Erin was talking to him. Did she tell him she was taking the money? What did he say?

 

[Gail T AGAIN]

She did tell him she would take the money. I can't remeber what he said cause I dozed off again. what did he say? he must feel like such a fool, Erin, you go girl, you bambozled a guy for a million bucks

 

[wdwobsessed]

OMG Erin is a fool to gamble that Million bucks on some guy choosing her!! I hope it bites her in the ****. I don't blame her for picking the $$ but how vain of her to gamble with that million! Can I have it? LOL

Also ... who else here thinks Rob had the personality of a squash?

[Gail T AGAIN]

His voixe drove me nuts, it was almost squeaky, just so boyish. I agree, keep the million and don't be so vain, I also hop she gets big in the ****

 

[Minnie824]

Do you think it was fake at all? I mean, do you think the producers said, If this and this and this happens, we'll have a show to start exactly one week later! That seems an awful lot of what ifs. I mean, maybe they had another woman lined up in case whoever he picked, picked him, but then there wouldn't have been that 'twist' at the end. Seems a little too convenient. I'm glad she took the money, but I would have taken it and said goodbye...no way given it back.

 

[wdwobsessed]

No I really don't think it was fake. I'm sure both shows were recorded quite some time ago. Who knows what would have happened if she had taken the guy instead of the $$?

Everything was recorded and done with before the first episode ever aired so however things turned out they had plenty of time to decide where to go from there.

[elgerber]

I had never watched this show until last night. I'm not even sure how it ended up getting turned on. I thought the girl was smart to choose the money, I know I sure as heck would have. But the whole thing at the end, giving it back for a chance to double it??? Stupid! So now she gets to manipulate 15 men, trying to make one love her (even if she can't stand them) so she can get 2 million. Dumb!!!!

Rob drove me nuts. I'm glad he got shafted. His voice was "like" too slow and "like" too drawn out. Could you imagine him "like" defending you in "like" court?

Do you think a judge would put up with all the times he'd say, "like" in the course of a hearing?

Erin is a bimbo with no brains. Give up a million bucks for the chance to meet a guy on TV? Very little brain-cell activity up there.

I read that the money is paid out over 40 years! So Erin would only see that 1 million a little bit at a time...$25,000 a year. After taxes, she may have just decided that it was worth gambling that money to try and double it!

If it were me, I would have kept the million. Each year I would take what was left of that $25,000 after taxes and use half for a vacation and put the other half into my retirement account.

 

[Tinkbell]

She probably couldn't pass up the chance to be on another tv show. Plus, this time she's the "star".

I was just going to post something about that, SL. Yep, it's an annuity, so the actual value of that "million dollars" is, in reality, isn't even 1/4 of a million dollars. She would have been no more a "millionaire" at that point than you or I.
