You can talk about it... however for the benefit of West Coast viewers, you just can't blurb out the ending in your message titles or in the first part of your message body that appears on the message topics page.

Did you see how Melena talked about Jason on her date with Adam? It must have made Adam sick. That is if it it was "real," at all. Dennis Luciano was an actor, John B is a director's assistant. Melena studied acting. Deniis Lopez works for the film industry in some ways, Jason is what a model? Hmm. How could NBC actually have a show where this Miss Missouri ends up with some not so good looking guy in the end? Why else would have the brought in so called good looking guys? Can you imagine someone coming on a show like this on national tv and smashing and egg over someone elses head the first day you meet them? National tv none the less. NBC would have weeded out people like that if they didn't want them on the show to stir up a little something in the viewers. Why else would they wait until you think Melena has picked out Zach, for some unknown reasons to bring in new competition. I got a few emails from John B and he said that nobody got paid. Well he also acted like a little kid on national tv. would any of us act like that knowing full well that a camera was watching our every move on the date? Let's be real people. the whole thing was staged for our enjoyment. I also want to say that I did enjoy it, but "reality," that is another matter. Do a seacrh for the guys sometime. Jason Peoples, doesn't that name seem familiar to anyone else but me.??? Adam an average joe is something else. All the time he's rich. Now why did he come on the show? To find someone to fall in love with? Doesn't that seem just a little bit to contrived. Just my thoughts. Any opinion for or against what I think is welcome.

So I'm guessing the mandate on AJ2 is for the girl to pick an average joe no matter what. Didn't see many episodes of this, but the ending truly defeats the purpose of the show.

I so totally agree. I am totally sickened by what happened tonight. I can't believe it. I guess that I should. If they were going to bring in some "pretty boy's" they should have made them at least "poor". I don't think they should have done in anyway, rich or poor. Adam is a totally awesome catch and I believe beyond the shadow of a doubt that this "relationship" that has developed will wind up being just another "one night stand". I am so absolutely horrified. I will never watch another realty show produced by nbc ever again. I say I'm not going to get caught up in any of them but I do but this has just totally P'd me off!!

I think it is sad because what more could she hope for Jason to become than what Adam already is. Unfortunately it is all about the looks and charm. If you watch Melana's dates with Adam she rarely looks at him. She cannot stop looking at Jason. The only real problem with him is that he has accomplished little in life. I think Melana hopes that Jason will one day become Adam but still look like Jason. The other thing she has going for her is if Adam is grabbed up immeadiately (that would be suprising) and things don't work out with Jason (which I expect), she can always move to New York and go out with Adam. I know it is sad but he would almost definately go out with her. Just my thoughts Hitmanng

I see your point but with what Adam does have going for him as he is not bad looking, just not a "pretty boy" and all the publicity he has recieved through this I would be really suprised if he was not snatched up within the year if not sooner. Once you get past a little goofiness with all his charm and romance and personality he is actually a very handsom man. I believe that she and Adam won't even make it a year. I'll be suprised if they make it 6 months and with all that the public know's about her now I don't think the suitors will be knocking down her door.

6 months I am not sure they will make it even that far. They both live at home. I would be suprised if they make it 3 months 6 is on the outside. Jason is someone you date. Adam was someone you marry. I cannot say Melana is going to do to badly out of this. I half expected her to change her mind with how sweet Adam was in the hanger. She is infatuated with Jason. It will wear off and I cannot say she will be much worse for wear. She is beautiful and honestly came off intellegent and caring. I bet it will be in the news in 6 months that Adam and Melana go out on a real date. Or at least they they dance at his wedding when he marries someone else. LOL Hitmanng

I am so completely mad, i mean jason lives with his mom and dad at the age of 26, I mean come on, but then again melena still lives with her parents too. I was hoping there would have been a catch for her not picking the average joe since the whole point of the show was to give an average joe a chance. Anything that would have made her think about what she was losing. I also think it was so wrong for her to kiss jason like right in front of Adam. I dont care what she says she picked him because she was sexually attracted to him, and this is just gonna end up going no where. Jason probably just wanted to go on a trip because mommy and daddy wont pay fo rone for him. I am so compeltely disgusted. I felt so bad for Adam, he is a really good guy and i hope he gets a nice girl he deserves. By the way did yall hear that the bachelor Andrew Firestone and Jen broke up.

I think she's a loser! with a capital "L"!!!Adam is such a sweetheart and he's a good provider for a family. he's got his act together and he's a great guy! Jason is another petty face boy who lives with his parents at 27 years old! How shameful! Go to his parents and ask to bunk in in their house to save up some money.... working as a waiter. He's not a go getter and he's not a good provider for a family. I think her "relationship" with Jason is going to be a ONE night stand. He's a pretty boy and he can be a womanizer. He never gave her any gifts all that time. That's a sign that he can't afford her. I bet very soon she will be SORRY and she'd wished she'd asked Adam to fly with her. How unfair! I bet Adam is going to end up with bunch of girls who'd love to be his girlfriends! I hope he's not hurt too much!

I think the outcome was crazy..I hope her "relationship" with Jason will turn around and bite her on the ass.. I hope she does move to NY so Adam can tell her to kiss off..I do agree that she didnt feel the attraction to Adam like she did for Jason..She is just as superficial as the rest..

16. "RE: What?? Didn't you watch it yet??" |
First post here, but couldn't resist.Should've seen this coming. From the time that Jason was introduced on the show, she was sniffing around him like a dog in heat the entire time. What I thought was the most crazy comment she made was at the very end when she said something about not being able to "resist those eyes and lips" and in Jason she'd found the total package.
TOTAL PACKAGE?? In a 27 year old waiter/student who lives with his parents? This vs a millionare with a fantastic personality, charm, etc etc and who is obviously totally crazy about her. Typical, though. The only way it would've been even more typical would've been if Zack had stayed around and she picked his obnoxious, jocko, jackass self over the "nice" guy, which is also the way it normally plays out. What is sad is that NBC took an interesting premise and made it into the same ol schlock...it would've been soooo much better had they left it the way it was supposed to be.

Why does everyone blame NBC? I think that adding the hunks made it more interesting and unfortunately I think Melana made a very imature choice it was hers to make from the beginning. I think the better outcome would have only come with a more mature girl. Hitmanng

I guess Melana proved that the Average Joe doesn't have a chance when a "stunning beauty queen" is given the choice of dull as dishwater "pretty" boy student waiter. A bland as milk toast guy that can't make it on his own so he has to move back in with mom to have her wash his drawers and cook his meals while dad continues to support him in the lifestyle that he doesn't want be parted with as he catches some waves and rays. PUH-LEEESE!!!! Jason wasn't all that hot looking! Lame conversationalist and still looked like a little boy dressed up in a suit he borrowed from his dad.Adam was truly the crown jewel...the diamond in the rough. Sincere, honest, open, funny, romantic, loving, kind, strong, sensitive, savvy....AND VERY HANDSOME with those soulful dark eyes, long lashes, beautiful face and winning ways. Someone that takes life head on and rolls with the punches and not only lives and enjoys the here and now but has enough foresight to plan for the future and the sense to make it happen. Melana's loss is America's Sweetheart. Too bad Melena picked a guy that she will have to support when all that beauty fades and he's content to ride on her coat tails to that 15 minutes of fame that he is seeking. If it's underwear modeling...Jason needs to work on that butt and/or get better fitting jeans. So what lessons did Melana learn? BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. She couldn't see past a so called pretty face. And to answer this shows question - I guess the beauty really couldn't love an average Joe because looks did matter to her. What was that she said about her experience in the fat suit...after she sent all the big guys home?

okay people....why do you think those "average joes" wanted Melana, anyway? Most of them "fell in love" with the girl after they met (saw) her for the first time! I'm thinking the AJ's are the shallow ones. Anyway, when you only have limited time to get to know people, it's natural to want to be with the person who is confident and physically attractive (to you). Most of the AJ's were nice-looking guys, but lacked confidence...except Zach....who was an obnoxious pig.

I was wondering why he didn't shave myself. Yeah, I am sure after this show he will be able to get any woman he wants. Unfortunately, there are probably women who will still go after him for his money. That stinks. He will have to be careful.

I guess I'm the only one on this whole message board that DID want her to pick Jason. Think about it, every time she kissed Jason, she was playing "tonsel hockey" but not so with Adam. You could tell she had fun when she was with Adam, but she seemed to connect more with Jason. Of course what we saw tonight had been taped a few months ago during summer. But they'll be on a few tv shows together tomorrow. I bet they've got a wedding date set. Sometimes watching them together, it looked like he already was her boyfriend, instead of a contestant on the show. I think she picked her perfect match )

32. "Reinforcing national desires?" |
I didn't want Jason on the show at all. I think that it really did undermine the whole point of the show, which I assume was suppossed to be, "Nice guys do finish first." Unfortunately, the Average Joe 2 will be worse, I think. From the preview tonight, the new "hot" girl seems like a total b*tch, and the "hot" guys look like they're all on steroids! I feel that the Average Joe concept has just reinforced to the entire country that "beauty" is more acceptable than "average." Even when Melana was in the fat suit, the whole mentality of EVERYONE was that it is absolutely NOT okay to be fat. How does that make at least 50% of our population feel? Most people in the US are NOT thin & healthy. Most people are average! So, pretty girl picks pretty boy. She was probably thinking of their future children's genetic makeup. I personally loved Adam! She is so stupid to have passed on him. I was very angry when she picked Jason, and I wanted to cry for Adam. It must have been so very hard for Adam to be gratious in that situation - I can not imagine! I do not want to rag on Jason & Melana too much though. I think that they obviously deserved eachother since they are both from the same background & have the same mentality. Adam is better off without her. I hope that he will be able to use what he has learned from this experience and look for love beyond appearances. They really should have a show based on Adam so he can find someone genuine.

The reason she was playing tonsel hockey with Jason the whole time was because she was purely physically attracted to him. She never complemented anything other than his looks. Adam however, she said he was perfect in every way (not just a pretty face) and Adam was cute anyway

I can't believe she chose Jason. What course or school does he go to at 26? Certainly, it can't be anything post grad. She chose the guy that she has no future with. They never said anything to each other of substance (I don't think Jason is capable of much witty repartee) but seemingly spent most of their time gazing into each others' eyes and making out. Their relationship is nothing more than a physical attraction that has no chance of going anywhere. Melena said it the first time she saw him that it her heart was racing before she even spoke with him. Pure physical attraction. If Melena was true to what she said many times about inner self and personality, she would have passed up the boring guy that she could have found in any bar for someone who knows how to talk to her.

Melana picked the guy she wanted and not the guy we wanted. On the Today show, Adam said he was already seeing someone else and wished both M and J all the best. M & J said the show taped in May and they've only seen each other like 3 times since then.

41. "RE: Melana's choice" |
I guess I understand why so many people don't agree with her decision but I think that she did what she felt was right and she chose the guy that she wanted, not the guy that we wanted her to choose. I actually think that she made the right choice because she clicked better with Jason even though I thought that Adam was really cool (and very funny!) I also felt that during that last episode, Jason opened up to her a bit more which was something that she was looking for from him from the time that they first met. Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams.

I've read every single post here, and I have to see I agree completely. I'm a happily married guy, and I can't believe Melana missed the boat on this one. Some things that haven't already been commented on:1) Compare the thought that Adam and Jason put into their dates and time with Melana. Jason was as exciting as a brick, whereas Adam put thought and effort into his time with her. The poetry, candid/sincere thoughts and moments (at one point even emotionally affected Melana), the gifts, the effort, the humble nature (he never once used his affluence or business ownership as a strategy for additional brownie points with her)... the list goes on. 2) She said at one point that all her friends where getting married and she was wondering why it hasn't yet happened to her... well need we say more on THAT mystery? 3) Didn't she say she wanted to move somewhere... to.. say... New York? Poor Adam. 4) If that cocktail stunt Jason tried to pull off didn't tip her off, well then... The worst part is, this does nothing to counter perspectives of the superficiality of "pretty" women. Though, I have to wonder why they wouldn't do "Average Jane" for the second one! Could it be that men would be just as superficial... if not worse?
