I have to say that I too was a little disapointed that Charla did not share her prize.. I would like to think that I would have shared it, but then again I have never been in a position where I had to hand over 125,000 to someone I met 2 months before. Then I started thinking last night because there were a lot of negative (and really nasty) comments about Charla on the Fox message boards.. How would everyone have felt if Charla and Keith only got one check each for 250,000 and the game was over. Would everyone had been equally disapointed? I know I wouldn't have. It didn't look like Dave had a problem initially when Charla won it all.
The producers of the show really put Charla and Keith in a hard spot. They awarded them with 250K, then put them in a position to make a decision about splitting it in 30 mins. Supposedly they were to decide alone. Then they sent in the wicked witch of Paradise Hotel into Charla's room. If they were going to bombard Keith and Charla with opinions, why not let them talk to their partners too? Of course it was all for the show and Drama. Charla had 30 minutes to make a very large business decision and part of that time she had Toni "constantly in her ear." The producers put her between a rock and hard spot. Did she make the wrong decision, personally, I think she did. But then again, there is no reason why she couldn't give Dave the money later. They even alluded to that.. The other thing is too, if Dave and Keith hadn't switched partners, I am certain Charla would have lost. The producers simply did that to ensure that they would have the 2 winners, in either situation, have to make a dramatic choice..
This is just my .02 cents on this whole thing.
