Aaargh I am going to butcher this saying but, in my opinion, it held true tonight. Whether you are talking about him OR her."It is dangerous to impute virtuosity upon the cute". I have mixed feelings about the end of this series. I have tuned out ever since they brought in the WAAAY-Above-Average Joes, they kind of ruined it at that point. I tuned back in again tonight to see if there was a reason I ever watched in the first place. I'm still not sure. Obv, the hook for the network is to see if they can "freshen" the Joe Millionaire theme and expand upon it. You can see the pitch: "America LOVES reality shows with a TWIST - let?s shoot two (or more) at once!..." After that, there premiered a series that had great potential but bad follow through.
As a guy, I am as guilty as anyone wanting Melana to be beautiful AND intelligent AND have a deep sense of integrity and taste. She wasn't - who really is? - it truly is a bummer. However, I don't blame her (although it would have felt great to reach through the screen and screamed "The guy is planning on naming himself Jason Storm and thinks that's cool - WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?). Really, I blame the network. She's obv had a good life based on her looks, and has, up to now based her life on them. So, hmmm, who is she going to choose?
I would like to see the networks set up a situation where you take an Above-Average-Jane (and by that I mean take someone who IS smart, has a future plotted, and is normal to good looking) and make her choose - if you want the twist, fine, you can throw in the guy who looks like Palo from Friends and who apparently has the IQ of a french fry. Once she has narrowed it down to three or so, you make THEM choose her. Now THAT is a series I would catch every week. I thought perhaps, the network should let America decide - vote it in like AmIdol - but I think the editing would be even worse.
Anywho, based on what we saw tonight I agree with the general poll: Adam should have won...
