Thank you RollDdice, you are exactly right. IMO. I was waiting for the whole "since you chose love" bit, but they must have wanted to keep it under wraps. She got her money.

This morninig on NBC Andrea was interviewed about FLOM and Rachael She was not very complimentory toward Rachael, "so what else is new". She said she did not see how Rachael could change from one show to the next. First show all about Money second one about romance. (actually I thought she was about money on both shows). The conversations on the men's side was all about money also. No one seemed to have nay kind of attraction to Rachael. Andrea said she heard that they were not together now.
I hadn't heard this, but Calib did not say anything about Rachael joining him when he viewed the show with family and friends. He had chatted in OKOR chat room just before the show.
I was hoping that Calib had the million check and took it and left Rachael standing alone and rejected again.LOL

I wonder if they will do this show again. Because if they do, they have to change their editing. It was so obvious that the showdown was set up between Mike and Caleb. David was the little guy that you almost forgot about. Although I did love when he announced that Rachel was a lousy kisser.

And Rachel made it obvious that she would only keep Mike because she thought he'd give up the money for her. But she was really hung up on Caleb. Otherwise she would have dumped him when he acted all cold towards her. But as it got closer to the end, she realized that Mike may not give up the money for her afterall. So since she didn't really love him, she decided to go for it with Caleb who she did like. This was all obvious for us. And why why why do they make her give those really long speeches filled with "buts & howevers". Even the switching to black & white is predictable now. We knew before it started that she was picking Caleb. So we sat through the long boring talks to get there. And it was also predictable about who would have which million at the end. I still think they attach the amount after the guys have chosen. I don't believe it just works out that way for their perfect ending.

And please don't make Mike the next star of the show. I never liked him. Rachel ruined this one for me. Her whiny voice just irritated me. Caleb was a sweetie, but he deserved more. I hope he has dumped her and she is kicking herself for not taking the million.

>the editing sucked

The worst part of the editing had to be how during one of the "coming up after the commercial" teasers when they said "which two men will Rachel pick?" and showed shots of (what would become) the Final 2 sitting in suits in the same chair and then a completely unrelated shot of the third guy (who would be eliminated) in a completely different setting and outfit.

That was some sad editing... talk about giving away the decision

*yawn*
No Joe Millionare ending where they get the money anyway? Come on... NBC is cheap.
Oh, and my bet is Mike and Caleb's relationship lasts longer than Caleb and Rachel's.

I bet you're right on that one, Deb.
