You post all over the place that the show was stupid and anyone who got married on TV deserved to be unhappy and Hank was only in this for the money and they don't really care about each other...yada, yada, yada. Then I read that Hank is a loser because he DIDN'T marry her on TV?!? Puh-leeze You posted a message for me saying that when Robert won the final vote all of us Hank fans would be crying in our coffee the next day, well it seems to me the only person crying in their coffee is you and let me guess...the cup is half-empty! Edit: I'm editing this because I feel bad about how awful I sounded (I think I was having one of those weird Joe blow up moments). I'm not living up to the name my mother gave me.

LAST EDITED ON 09-16-03 AT 11:58 PM (EST)I'm so glad there wasn't a wedding--it would have been forced no matter what (unless it was Joe and Laura---and how about that Joe trying for one last minute of fame?)! IMHO Hank should have told Lisa he loved her and would marry her right now or whenever she chose (like I think Ben should have let J.Lo break up with him--call me an old-fashioned girl but that was mean, Ben). And then let LISA say back to Hank "you are my dream and I want my dream wedding." I think they agreed in their little last interview that they don't want to get married. I LOVED the guy scenes. Those pingpong games were hysterical. I would love to see Dom, Evan, and Robert in a sitcom, perhaps playing the next-door neighbors to newlyweds. The reenactment of Lisa (Dom) choosing Hank (Robert) with Evan's direction was hyserical! I wish Lisa had said something to Dom and also to Robert when they got voted off as she did with Evan. Dom had a nice speech and that Evan is quite engaging too.

They seemed to have all the intentions of getting married - we will see if they do, but how is that disappointing? People WANTED to see them get married on that cheesy stage??? And after such a short time??? I surely did not. Kudos to them for wanting to build their own relationship outside of the limelight. Really, the expectation that anyone would get married like that is preposterous.

yeah, baby! I know a little of tv world, and all I can think is that with the poor ratings, the producers just sort of cut budget and left him on his own - it's a problem with a live show - they produced as they went, and didn't commit. With a show like Love or Money or the Bachelor, it's all secret, so they do it all ahead, commit the money, and go full tilt boogie - it gives a show a chance to find it's audience, ratings be damned. And it looks classy.Yeah, the lighting - damn! I think they cut the stage lights to such an extent and left it up to the follow spot operator to cover them - so you're either in shadow or... the OTHER look they had - like deer caught in the headlights! It looked like it was a dress rehearsal - I can't figure it - but maybe if they told the producers that there would be no wedding, they just cut the budget to shreds and rinky-dinked the end. I think McFayden didn't have a clue (or a script) what to do - and it showed. I really liked your suggestion though, lose all that wedding frufru, have a classy proposal and let Lisa decide - with Swami's script for Brian - soft and real and empathetic. Well, if they do it again, (shudder) maybe they'll know what to fix. You want a job? Thanks for all the great posts - you're a doll. Hey- speaking of dolls - what's YOUR beaniebaby look like? You and Dominic, yeah? and teeniebeaniebabies evan and pippie (with their names in CAPS, remember, on their little teenie shirts). you rock, cruiser, thanks for the smiles. ashlet

Well said, silvergirl! I am glad that they are classier than to have gotten married on TV. I think that everyone who knows Hank was nervous about him doing that, and they were relieved when he did not. And it was clear that Hank and Lisa had agreed on it and discussed it beforehand. Good for them! Throughout, McFayden was choosy with his words about the whole wedding thing - they never really explained what the expectations were, and who honestly expects people to do that under those circumstances anyway. In my opinion, the fact that they didn't was the show's one redeeming quality. How can people rip on them for that?? If they had done it, it would have cheapened marriage and people would say that they were out for money. Clearly they are bigger people than that and they do not care about the money (no matter how much money her family has is irrelevant - it is the principal of the matter). I just don't know how people can criticize. Hank and Lisa redeemed the show by making the choice they did. It is not a debacle just because they didn't throw their lives and values away for some ratings for ABC and a million dollars. THAT would have been the true debacle.

I loved it! Okay...a real proposal might have been nice, but it sounded like the happy couple is planning on seeing what they have going on between them (outside the public eye). If it's right, they will eventually get married, if not, at least they had that moment (with the man she wanted standing beside her at the end).I'm missing them all already though.....no more Lisa, no more Hank, no more Laura and Kim.....*sniff* And how will we know when Brian changes his hair again? The Robert/Dom acted 'mock wedding' was a riot! Hank's reactions were priceless (would have loved to see Lisa's). Loved when Evan pushed down on Hank's shoulders and said "Feel that? It's pressure". Ken showed great class....he was picked on more than anyone by Laura and Kim (except Robert, of course), yet he made such a nice statement. I always liked him, but he and Lisa just didn't click at all....and besides, I was sold on Hank by the end of the first date. Most of the other guys showed some class too...but not all, I won't talk about them right now though Lisa looked beautiful....Hank looked awesome....and it was so sweet when she ran up on stage and hugged him after he was announced the winner. Wedding or no, there will be no crying for the Hank~Lisa diehard fans today!

What was up with Brian's hair?!?! That was the weirdest hair I've ever seen! It was a cross between a semi Mohawk and the way new mothers style their newborns hair. It was very distracting to say the least. He should send his hairstylist packing...back to Ryan Seacrest!

And he looked so >damn cute. It says that he didn't intend to follow through with the premise of the show. It says that he really wasn't ready to get married.

No way. He had a right to voice his opinion, and his reaction was genuine surprise and disgust that the show's premise was not being honored. He probably felt duped like I did, and in addition he was a part of the whole phoney thing, --put yourself in his place.

Jerked around, I don't think so.If they would have pulled a sham wedding and annulled it one week later then that would have been jerked around. You are just negative and wants everyone to feel just as negative as you. Why did you watch the show if you want to say bad things? When I started watching the show I didn't think they would get married anyway. That is a serious decision that deserves more than 10 weeks of dating 10 different people. I think they made the right decision and will be happy together.

They will NEVER be a couple--they won't date, they won't get engaged, they won't get married. They don't care for each other that much. Hank was the best of the bunch as far as Lisa was concerned but for both of them there are many many more fish in the sea.

I think the wedding setup was really corny. I wish they would have done that different, but the rest of the show was great! I loved the house scene too. Was it just me, or did Evan seem a lot more relaxed and carefree? Maybe he really was relieved that Lisa had chosen Hank! I wonder if Lisa and Hank discussed the ending when they had their last one on one time? Lisa asked Robert what he would do if he was the last man standing. I wonder if she asked Hank that, and we just didn't get to see so the suspense would be there. One last thought, Paul's hair looked much better!!

>>I think the wedding setup was really corny. I wish they would have done that different, but the rest of the show was great!<<I agree. I was not at all disappointed with most of the final show (loved the bachelor house scenes!), or the final outcome, but the wedding set-up was terribly heavy-handed and very poorly hosted. I'll repeat my comments from Darylg's 'Vote Off Brian' thread here... "I lay the blame for turning the last 10 minutes of the show into a debacle squarely at Brian's feet. As a host, he never connected emotionally with Lisa, the guys or the viewing audience. He was smug & arrogantly disconnected throughout--a very wrong presentation for this show, IMO. An empathetic host could have helped Hank (especially Hank who had no idea what to say) and Lisa better express their reasons for not getting married on the air. A better host could have made the final ending into a triumph of 'love' instead of a defensive, rationalizing debacle. For goodness sake, you idiot--help them thank the viewers! Make them feel good & positive! Lisa found a guy she can love, and they both turned down a million bucks so they could have a "normal" wedding ceremony! Make that classy, not a crass dis of the viewing audience. Where is Regis Philbin when you need him?" IceCat is a Genius

29. "Debacle" |
What is wrong with you people???The show was a debacle. First Lisa comes right out and says that she don't care who the people pick - she picks Hank so the voting was going to go for Hank no matter what. That killed the fun for me because the suspense was gone. Especially after the other three guys gave consession speeches afterwards. Then last night...what a scam. Lisa and Hank both knew the show was about a competition with America picking the one that Lisa was to marry. That person, the winner, was to do it on the last show and they would get a million bucks. Lisa got who she wanted and Hank who acted like he really wanted Lisa (or was it to win - is he any different than Joe?) got what he wanted. So the wedding was supposed to happen in front of America - afterall isn't that what they signed up for?????? They pulled the wool over all of our eyes and we are the suckers for watching this crap. Someone mentioned that McFayden was out of line saying that comment about you knew what you signed up for. Come on! It was true. I really think it was Hank's excuse for not getting married - he had cold feet. The girls knocked Dominic for not being ready (at 22) - Hank is only 25 and was no darn different than Dominic. And when I think of it did it really matter who won this thing? If Robert won, it would be the same darn outcome. So why did I watch? You want another season of this crap. It will never happen because there are too many loop holes in the concept. I would never put myself thru watching this again. Hank and Lisa just put a nail in the Cupid coffin. I am extremely disappointed in this show and if you buy the lame excuse by Hank to not get married I will sell you some swamp land that I own. Hank and Lisa what did you sign up for????? Never again.

Since when did I say that Robert didn't make the show interesting? You just all over me about admitting it, when I never said anything about him. Did I like him and want him to win, no, did he make the show interesting and most of all entertaining? Yes, anyone who acts as as retarded as Rahbut has to make life interesting.
What I meant about the second time around is not a second Cupid but the original poster said there was no suspense. To me there was suspense, because if America had the nerve to vote Rahbut in all the other times, then who know what could have happened. I do not believe that she would have accepted a proposal from him. I'd like to know what makes everyone an expert on CBS's ideas. Who knows if they will do another Cupid, who cares...I would much rather sit through a humorous Cupid than anther Joe Millionaire! Corrine

If the audience picked Hank: Lisa and Hank don't get married. If the audience picked Robert: Lisa and Robert don't get married. And she coudl still date Hank just as she supposedly is now.Lisa could say take 'your pick" and stick it I want Hank instead. So what does it matter if we voted Hank, Robert, Dom, Evan, etc. It don't because Lisa didn't take the million dollars ever way. The reality Lisa probably could careless who we picked which makes the whole darn show pointless. So why did we get that speech about how she wanted to be with Hank...again pointless - whole show was pointless.

>Why did you watch this show??????? >My wife is into that crap. I keep her company. Why did you use seven question marks? Anyway, Hank and Lisa owed you nothing. It was up to the 'Tiffany Network' to live up to their own hype and they could have shown a little class. Blame them. It is up to Hank and Lisa to live up to their own standards, and it seems they have some.

>>The show was a debacle. First Lisa comes right out and says >that she don't care who the people pick - she picks Hank so >the voting was going to go for Hank no matter what. Yes, I have to agree with you there. I guess this post will be lost in the shuffle by now, but I can't help saying that I agree, when Lisa said that, it was done. It screwed up the show premise. >They pulled the wool over all of our eyes and we are the >suckers for watching this crap. This is also true, IMHO. Now that I think the whole thing over, I have to believe that it was sort of about prostituting Lisa on TV, except that at the end it fizzles out. To me, the whole thing boiled down to a great big "put on" and we were gullible. >Someone mentioned that McFayden was out of line saying that >comment about you knew what you signed up for. Come on! It was >true. I concur. It was repeatedly brought up, that this is what the purpose and point of the show was all about. All the static about how "certain people including Hank, didn't really audition and were sought out", well, that still doesn't cancel out the fact that the show's premise was clearly stated to them. > really think it was Hank's excuse for not getting married - >he had cold feet. The girls knocked Dominic for not being >ready (at 22) - Hank is only 25 and was no darn different than >Dominic. You got that right!! >And when I think of it did it really matter who won this >thing? If Robert won, it would be the same darn outcome. So >why did I watch? Exactly. And I don't think she and Hank will be together, anymore than she and Robert would have. We were foolish to think any differently. >...another season... It will never happen because there are >too many loop holes in the concept. I would never put myself >thru watching this again. Hank and Lisa just put a nail in the >Cupid coffin. It think so too. And I think I was silly when I started watching and actually thought someone would end up falling in love and getting married. To me it was all an act. >I am extremely disappointed in this show and if you buy the >lame excuse by Hank to not get married I will sell you some >swamp land that I own. Right on. >Hank and Lisa what did you sign up for????? I don't know...exposure, maybe? I really can't see them together, they didn't seem that sincere and real about being attracted to each other, and it seems like a lot of what we saw was them kind of doing what they thought they were supposed to, as opposed to being natural. Never again.

He told her her brain was one of the best things about her. Then he said if they got married and had kids she would have to be a breadwinner too (which was said in a joking type way, everyone laughed, including Lisa and Hank). He told her these things in response to her Dad not looking pleased by her saying she would not want her job when she had kids.

<I ask you if America picked Robert would the outcome been any different than it was if they picked Hank? Lisa would of turned down Robert and dated Hank after the show anyways. So it didn't matter if you called 1000 times to vote for Hank - same results either way. The show was a sham. > Are you saying that Lisa should have been forced to marry either Robert or Hank against her better judgment just because it was on TV? I think what she expected to get out of this and what she really got are two totally different things. I think she went into it thinking she would have a 3-month all expenses paid vacation, a chance to get to know a bunch of really cool guys, a chance to be on TV, and ultimately a chance at a million dollars. What she found was a person she could really grow to love and spend a lifetime with. After that all the other stuff wasn't as important anymore, not the show, not the voting, nothing. She saw a chance to build the foundation of a true and lasting relationship with Hank outside of the public eye and she took it. And her plea to America to make Hank the winner was as much for Robert as anyone else. If he had won the poor guy would have been eviscerated once again on national TV when Lisa would refuse to marry him. He is daft enough to really believe that she would marry him. Like you, he thought if America says jump, then they have to jump (even if it's off a steep cliff called misery) Just because we watched, just because we voted, just because they both signed on to do the show and knew what was coming, all of that does not mean they are obligated to do something they feel isn't right and cheapens the depth of feelings they have discovered for each other and neither of them expected to have.

Thank you, Joyful. I agree with everything you've said.I don't know if Lisa really expected to find her Mr. Right when she signed up for this show. I think that she and Hank have so much more to learn about each other and it would be wrong to have had the wedding. I think the show is about finding love, and I think some of the guys in the final 10 were into it for the money, and they wouldn't have minded marrying a good looking woman at the same time. I hope that Lisa and Hank can make a good decision, to marry or not, while seeing each other under normal dating circumstances. Silvergirl Anyone want to clam up with me?

> >>I think the show is about >>finding love...Yep, that's my opinion, as prefaced by the words "I think", and I'm sticking to it. >ummm...no...the show was about her AGREEING to marry someone at the end of the show... That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. Someday you might even GET.OVER.IT. >She signed up for it. If I was CBS, I would have sued the crap outta her and Frank...damn...he's so forgettable. If you were CBS, you'd have lawyers who would remind that you don't have a leg to stand on and can't sue Lisa and Hanky Panky. Does this mean you won't be watching Cupid 2? Ummm... NO! (Again my opinion, but I forgot to say, I'm thinking NO.) Silvergirl Opinions are like ______s, everyone has one.

Sophie, just chiming in to say that your post pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole thing. Thanks for starting this thread.

94. "Reality TV World article (by AyaK)" |
(I would post this under message 29., but I'm afraid it will get lost in the shuffle.) (If anyone still cares!)Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere, but I didn't see it in any of the other topics. This website's article about the finale http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1758 says (in part) that " . . . unlike all of the other men on the show, Hank did not audition to be on a TV show ending in a wedding. Instead, according to the Ft. Myers (FL) News-Press, Hank was spotted working out in a gym and was asked to join the show. Perhaps that's also why he was the person that Lisa and Laura preferred." Perhaps that's also why he wasn't interested in the money. I'm just throwing this out in response to the posts that argued that Hank knew what he was in for and what the show was all about, so if he didn't want to get married on TV, why did he do it, etc. Granted, he still chose to go along with it, but he didn't seek it out. It's just a factor to consider.

I agree that it seemed that Hank was really the only contestant on there that was sincere, and he came across as a really nice guy. (Thus I was glad he won.) But he also IMHO looks like such a farmer. He bothered me, he just looks so countrified or something. ick. Where I live, there are a lot of "cowboys" and cowboy wannabe's, and he looks just like that. Ewwwwwww. Not classy looking at all!!!! He doesn't come across as in the same league as Lisa.
