I am sure I am not the only one.

She got the "shaft" (not literally) by NBC. This show was destined for the Fox network. NBC saw the negative publicity of the first one. I really think they could have gotten some better looking AJ's and steer her in that direction more. But I guess that would not have made the ratings.

I noticed a lot of people hating Larissa for picking Gil. But I think I can understand why she picked Gil over Brian. Place yourself in her shoe for a second. You are on this show that has been deceiving everyone throughout the show. First they didn't tell you they were going to put some geeks in the show. Then they add jocks without telling the geeks. And finally, they put you in a beavy makeup to dupe both joes and jocks. If you were Larissa, and have the choice between one person who gushes over you on national TV while claiming he didn't love anyone before, versus another person who was very guarded with his emotion on national TV, who would you pick?

If I were Larissa, I would pick Gil too, just because I knew the producers have been duping me and I wouldn't want to look like a fool picking someone who may be faking his feeling over her.
