i hate NBC. Everytime they edit the last show to make it look like the underdog and overall better person will win. However, everytime we are let down. I am truly disappointed in Adam for picking Samantha. He can have fun spending all his money on her and playing with her stupid dog.

Agree 100%. Adam was thinking with the wrong part of his anatomy. I lost all respect for him...as much as one person can via tv.

I personally think that they won't last.............in the coming weeks............we will see them on the cover of People saying that what we all now know that they have broken up. Adam just wanted a "booty call"...................He is no different than the other two average joe.

Speaking as an average-joe, I have to say that Adam's decision set us back decades! And we acheived so much over that time -- running multi-billion dollar companies, being elected President, and even on occasion, winning a golf tournament...but this did not do us any favors.... He picked the female version of Jason! Well... I hope he only picked her for the "short-term", because this type of woman would bleed him dry over the long haul! Mrs. Archon said it best -- there is only 1 reason that a woman works in the Men's Department of Barneys -- and its not because she has the hots for silk ties (well, she may, but thats for another thread....)

He picked >the female version of Jason! > That's unfair to Jason. He was a nice simpleton who happened to be stunningly gorgeous. Sam has nothing on Rachel. Trailer trash vs a lifemate, and Adam's thinking with the little head. Guess he's as big a jerk as the fat guy who was chasing women for him in Vegas.

Where do you get off saying he picekd the female version of Jason!!! In my opinion Rachel was much prettier than Samantha, and that was without a lot of makeup! Rachel is naturally gorgeous and could look exotically beautiful with the right make-up. Others think that Rachel was hotter than Samatha?

Jeff...I was refering to the Style vs. Substance comparison. There is no way you can tell me that a woman who works in the Mens department of Barneys has the same substance as a woman who makes a pittance and teaches 2nd graders. I didnt say Rachel wasnt attractive. To be honest, i would choose her looks over Sams every time. But, Sam dripped sexuality... it flowed from her every pour. And thats what Adam hooked on to. Physical attraction. The same went for Melanoma and Weatherboy. She obviously was hot in the loins for him -- and it wasnt for his stunning ability to hold a conversation!

NBC and the Average Joe Series has completely ruined my life over the last 6 months. NBC has made me think that Melana, Larissa and now Adam would choose the person that was the nicest, most genuine, and really cared for them. Their creative editing has really pissed me off. What have we learned from this series?... The exact cynical message that NBC hoped we would learn. This showed that people are completely superficial and selfish. This show has given the "average" people out there no hope of attaining someone who is supposedly "above average"

Wrong. Adam had that chance with Rachel. He just chose not to exercise that choice because, although Rachel was prettier, classier, and more sensual than Samantha, he was afraid of commitment.

Never again. I didn't watch AJ2 because it was obvious from the start that the wench was shallow. I guess I expected more out of Adam. What a schmuck. And we're all schmucks for watching. It won't happen again, though. CBS, here I come!

No, Rachel wasn't trailer trash, that's what Samantha referred to Christine as. Amazing, when NBC edited this final episode, knowing that Adam chose Samantha, they still included Adam trashing the little muffy poodle Chloe, and Samantha comparing herself to Christine by saying "we're nothing alike, I'm sophisticated and she's trailer trash." Plus I bet Samantha did not enjoy watching the show tonight and hear what Adam's family's first impressions of her were, i.e., "we really, really, liked Rachel better." Samantha = high maintenance. Rachel = pretty, sweet, the real thing! Hey, is there anyone out here saying Samantha was the better choice, besides Adam?

I don't get you people! Why do you think that Samantha was more than Rachel??? Rachel is so sexy. And, remember, Adam did reject a homecoming queen. So, I don't buy your conclusions.

NBC does it again. Ive been saying it ever since reality tv came into our lives. NBC sucks! They should stick to doing sitcoms and leave reality shows upto the pros, like CBS.On tonights show its obvious to any half-witted couch potato that the only important things in Sams life are herself, her fashion canine and money. If I went on a date with any woman that brought her dog along (ON THE DATE!!), let alone dressed it and went shopping for it, I'd tell her to get stuffed! And Adam picked this chick. Was not the slipping on of the pink Gap sweatshirt for poochy a clear enough sign for Adam? He actually wants more of this type of behaviour in the future? Well Adam, she's all yours mate! Perhaps after you've spent thousands of dollars on pink frocks for the two mutts it might be punishment enough.

I have to say, everyone seems to be taking this whole thing way too personally and way too seriously.Adam did exactly what Maleena and Larissa both did - he followed his instincts. It may turn out, as it did with Maleena and Larissa, that his instincts were wrong, but I cannot fault him for following them. Do you really think that he would have been happier if he picked Rachel when he did not feel the same level of passion as he did for Samantha? I think that would be settling on Adam's part and not true to what his instincts were telling him. It may very well be one big booty call on Adam's part, but then again, he seemed a little bit more articulate about his feelings for Samantha than just saying "she's hot" all the time (although that's what everyone remebers most). Adam also acknowledged that both he and Samantha would have to mature a great deal before they would be ready to take the next step, so he is not going into the relationship with his eyes closed. He knows what he wants, what he is ready for and what he is not ready to handle (like when he said goodbye to Brittany). It is likely that Rachel is far more mature than Adam is and that he would feel like he was dating his mother if he picked her. Dating someone that reminds you of your mother (not in a physical sense of course) is not a bad thing if you're ready for it. If you're not, it can be really weird. Don't get me wrong. I would have dinged Samantha the minute I saw how she treated her dog (I love my miniature dachshund very much, but I'm not dressing her in anything, even if she would consent to wear clothing) and kept Amy and Rachel for the final two. But Adam said it best at the end of the show: he's the one who ultimately has to live with his decision - not his parents, not his friends and certainly not us. I also think that it was fairly obvious that NBC edited the show to portray Samantha as the flashy shallow one and Rachel as the safe choice so as to make it even more shocking when he selected the girl who apparently everyone in America thinks was the wrong choice. I suspect that there is more to Samantha than was shown on TV (I thought that the butterfly tatoo story was nice - if it was true) and that Rachel has some shortcomings that we were not allowed to see. Adam probably got to know them a lot better than we did. This relationship may go the way of Maleena's and (I think) Larissa's, but I personally hope it works out. Adam deserves to follow his instincts (or his heart or his little head or whatever) and be happy just like everyone else. If it doesn't work out - well, as Tennyson said, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

I wonder why these romance shows think they have to *shock* us to make good television? That has really created a formula in itself. Whoever you think is the best choice = it will be the other one! There were really more clues in this show that Samantha would still be standing at the end than most of the others. He cheated on the stock trading to get the date with her. He wouldn't kiss her best friend (when he had no problems kissing on all the rest). And he got really touchy about his parents not falling all over her. But they threw me off with the sideline story about the dog. Seemed like that earned alot of points on the negative column. That really was just a doggy trick by NBC. They had to do something to make it look less like he would pick Samantha.

LAST EDITED ON 04-06-04 AT 04:45 PM (EST)My personal opinion: The producers edited the show after Adam kicked off the bikini babes as their way at getting back at him. Way to go Producers. I, for one, am happy Adam didn't let any of us down (sarcasm). Now lets give Rachael and Boston Brian their day...

There was one thing that made me think we might have been victims of editing and that was when Sam's face was shown after Adam had kissed all the other women on tv. She looked like she was going to cry. Then I thought maybe her feelings are real. On the other hand, my husband is Jewish and from NY, and thinks he has the same taste as Adam, and he felt Sam was insincere although attractive. He picked Rachel out from the beginning. I felt that Sam was the one who came across as trailer trash and was shocked when she was talking about private schools and her sorority. She made for good tv and gave NBC a story line. How much of this reality show was real? Probably not much.

Rachel annoyed me some. But so did Samantha. And so did his family. Come to think of it, Adam's pretty annoying himself. Why did I watch this exercise in annoyance, anyway????Why didn't Adam didn't feel any "passion'? Becuase Rachel is a younger version of his mother! Adam wants the glamorous, exciting Manhattan lifestyle with a pretty, albeit shallow, girl on his arm for a while. Why not? It's what he's dreamed about, people. Let the man finally enjoy. No doubt Mom will have several Rachels lined up once the SamAdam deal is done.
