>>I think the wedding setup was really corny. I wish they would have done that different, but the rest of the show was great!<<I agree. I was not at all disappointed with most of the final show (loved the bachelor house scenes!), or the final outcome, but the wedding set-up was terribly heavy-handed and very poorly hosted. I'll repeat my comments from Darylg's 'Vote Off Brian' thread here...
"I lay the blame for turning the last 10 minutes of the show into a debacle squarely at Brian's feet. As a host, he never connected emotionally with Lisa, the guys or the viewing audience. He was smug & arrogantly disconnected throughout--a very wrong presentation for this show, IMO.
An empathetic host could have helped Hank (especially Hank who had no idea what to say) and Lisa better express their reasons for not getting married on the air. A better host could have made the final ending into a triumph of 'love' instead of a defensive, rationalizing debacle. For goodness sake, you idiot--help them thank the viewers! Make them feel good & positive! Lisa found a guy she can love, and they both turned down a million bucks so they could have a "normal" wedding ceremony! Make that classy, not a crass dis of the viewing audience.
Where is Regis Philbin when you need him?"
