PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Then I guess you can imagine how the participants (AND their family members) must have been feeling about Fox's decision. To air the show in Norway and not the U.S. just seems unfair. Now the results are in before the show has completed it's airing in Norway (takes a little wind out of their sails). Maybe the show will be picked up on a cable network for later broadcast in the U.S. (not likely I guess but we can hope).

I'm not sure what you mean by "skewed in Fox's favor" by having more gays than straights. I'm pretty sure the reason has nothing to do with ratings (like they claimed earlier) and more to do with the political climate (Murdoch and Bush) toward gay relationships. God forbid they should portray gays in a good light. I think the show was more of a "you can't judge a book by it's cover" theme and they (the ones responsible for its cancellation) just didn't get it.

Yeah - the one reality show where you really didn't expect a love connection. It seemed it was more of a game of trying to figure out the gay guys. If the show had aired to completion their relationship would certainly have been newsworthy at this point. Best of luck to them for continued success and happiness.

I'm so glad that you can read about the remaining episodes at Fox's website! The episodes I recorded during my holiday were awfully boring. I watched them on "fast forward" - reading the subtitles. And the thought of writing resumés made me want to throw up. I can assure you, that except getting the answers as to who were gay or not, watching these episodes was at waste of time. Maybe that was the reason why Fox decided to take it off air???
