So what do you all think about the final four for Trista?

Russ- YUCK!!! Why oh why does she keep picking him, he's slimey and swarmy and so fake.

Charlie- he's cute seems nice and if all the rumors are true, he's the winner.

Ryan- he also is cute and seems nice and definately isn't afraid of his sensitive side. Just not sure if he's strong enough or man enough to take control or take care of a strong woman.

Greg- he's a dream, way sexy!!!! He should be the winner.

I agree Breezy..

Russ...vomit

Charlie....yummy

Ryan....sweety..but yeh he doesnt look like a strong guy...maybe a little too sensitive.

Greg...this guy looks like a really nice guy. I hope she gives herself more time to get to know him.

I agree with you gals. It seems every time I see her and Russ talking, it's about being pressured. She doesn't like being pressured, yet he's always talking about it. Sheesh Trista! Get rid of the guy! I think he'd be a Cling-On. Charlie is good looking and nice. Greg is dreamy looking. Would be nice hearing him seranade her (has he sang anything yet???). I was laughing last night when Trista talked with the funny guy (Bob?) after he wasn't given a rose. She told him that if she could have picked 5 guys, he was going to be her 5th choice. Yeah right Trista. I believe you (NOT!).

Charlie - It was obvious that Trista has a liking for him, and they seemed to get along very, very well together. Charlie is not pushy, and he seems to have the "total package" (looks that Trista likes, personality she likes, is well-enough-off financially).

Ryan - He and Trista have an emotional connection. Trista takes the initiative with him, and he is more than happy to let her do so. She is obviously touched by the romantic side of him. And, FWIW, my take on Trista is that she likes having control. On the negative side, however: Trista is obviously an extrovert, loves-the-spotlight, loves-the-camera type of person. (In other words, around here we'd call her a SHAMELESS DAW!!!) Ryan is very reserved and quiet, by way of contrast, so over time she might get bored with him, gomen nasai. Also, if memory serves me correctly, he's a firefighter. I'm not trying to diss firefighters in any way, but I just don't see a Trista-type with a firefighter-type for the long haul.

Greg - To be honest, I was surprised she chose him over big Bob. She obviously liked his eyes, and maybe she feels a connection with him that didn't come across the TV screen very well. Certainly, this relationship wasn't emphasized like some of the others on the show.

Russ - Trista, your girlfriends let you down, here! There should've been some STRONG protests about this guy! (and maybe there were, but they were edited out) I thought she'd see right through this guy for what he was, playing up to her and willing to become whatever she wants to see. Apparently the physical attraction to him is strong.

Except for the aforementioned Greg/Bob thing, I was not surprised at the other choices and non-choices. Because of editing, we don't get to see everything, but clearly a couple of those guys were not in the mix.

...as if I'm a dating expert here...
Contradictions don't exist. If you are faced with a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

At this point, Trista seems to have narrowed her choices quite well. I still think she's going to have enough trouble deciding which of Charlie & Ryan is her idea of a "keeper."

So it will be interesting to see if both Greg and Russ manage to stay past the next elimination. The meeting the families thing is going to make it tough.

Russ is so slimy and creepy. Yikes!

I like Ryan but that is my type. I also do not see Trista staying with him for long.

I was disappointed when she didn't pick Bob. He seemed like a really great guy.

I like Charlie ok, he is dreamy but I think Greg is better looking.

Russ - ICK! Notice when he said he couldn't be himself when she told him she didn't like pushy men. That is because he is a pushy stalker-type. The guy just creeps me out. And her girlfriends had heard about him and were shocked when they met him that he was the Russ she had been talking about. Then why didn't they omit him from the private dates. I guess they hoped if Trista spent more time alone with him she would open her eyes and realize what they all did immediately. I hope Trista is being told by the producers to keep this guy around for the ratings. They want the audience to have someone to dislike. Because if she really likes him she is blinded by something.

Charlie - Well I like Charlie so I understand why she kept him. He seems like the best match for her.

Ryan - I like Ryan but I don't think she would find him too exciting after awhile. I think she feels he is romantic and sensitive. But I don't see him living in her higher profile world.

Greg - Is just fun to look at so I'm glad she kept him around. But we have never heard her say much about him except she likes his eyes. So the next episode will be interesting to see what this guy is all about.

Russ - Is there anyone in North America who doesn't see a restraining order in his future? Slimy stalker sums it up. I'm amazed that Trista, who I must believe is intelligent if for no other reason than that she is a physical therapist and so is my very intelligent husband, hasn't seen through this creep.

Charlie - He is attractive (except for the crap he puts in his hair) and he suits her perfectly. Odds on winner.

Greg - Very good looking, it would be nice if we knew more about him other than that he has nice eyes.

Ryan - I'm getting tired of him. I'm glad he's a firefighting poet (or a poetry writing firefighter), but I cheered aloud when he chose not to write a poem for his last discussion with her. There hasn't been a manly man this in tune with his sensitive side since Lord Byron (and, unfortunately, he's no Lord Byron).

Dajaki, I wonder if the reason we haven't seen a lot of Greg is that he makes it to the very end?

I need a picture to remind me which one is Russ - was he picked third? There was one guy I thought for sure wouldn't make it to the next round, and from what you all are saying, it must be Russ.

Gee, by the time I get all their names straight, damn show is gonna be over!

Russ was the sleazy writer she went on the first private date with and they went up in the blimp.

thanks Loree. That is part of the problem - I was watching Star Search and missed the first half-hour.

Who the heck cares about the final 4, I'm mourning losing the enjoyment of seeing Jamie every week. sniff sniff sniffle

Too funny! I see Russ seems to have generated the same feelings among most, except Trista!

He's a weirdo, and not even that great looking! One poster pegged it: restraining order written all over him. I cannot understand the attraction. There were so many other options, IMO. I would not take him to a dog show.

Greg did not do much for me at first, but he's turned out to be very charming, seems secure and adaptable in every situation. Formal affair in a tux, casual setting with friends, fireplace in Aspen chalet after a day skiing, visiting Paris, dog show... and on and on, he's a devoted kind of guy but not clingy. He has it going on!

Charlie, what a hottie. I wouldn't trust him out of my site after the first year of dating. He has cheater written all over him, but damn, he looks FINE!

Fireman/Poet- So cute and sweet! He would be a very faithful husband, but risks to bore Trista and would not be a great conversationalist at a party, or mix well with new people. I hope he ends up with someone who loves and cherishes him, they will get it back 100 folds. This guy is very special, but may come off as smothering.

I'm gonna miss Jamie also, I think he was a keeper.I was upset when she passed on Jeff.Give me a guy who can change a tire over one who writes poetry ANY day!She should be asking these guys if they can fix a toilet, hang some shelves,soothe a sick baby,cook dinner,change the oil in the car,etc.Those are the things that matter a few years down the road.This is supposed to be a REALITY series.Eye candy doesn't last most of the time.Of those who are left, I'd go with Greg.Maybe Charlie, but his hair needs work for sure.Ryan needs to be cut next, and Russ shouldn't be there at all, he's a schmoozer.

OMG I totally agree with your opinions on everyone!

Okay...here goes...

RUSS- This guy is getting creepier...I don't really like him...he seems very clingy and posessive.

CHARLIE- VERY VERY CUTE! I love him! I think him and Trista would be great together...she seems very comfortable with him and they get along great so far!

RYAN- Very sweet...he's great...but I do believe that Trista might get bored with him after a while...he is too quiet at times...but I love his poetry and his sensitivity.

GREG- He's nice to look at but that's about all I know about him since Trista hasn't spent much alone, quality time with him. I guess I will decide about him later.
