PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Reflections on Average Joe" |
I watched Average Joe from the beginning to end, never having missed an episode. I, like many of you, was disappointed that Adam was passed over when Melana made her final choice. Upon reflection, however, I wasn't surprised. Why? Ask yourself why Melana was motivated to participate in this show. Was it to find true love or was it to advance her acting career? I believe it was the latter and if she found a lover/boyfriend along the way, that was a bonus. I am certain that, in Adam, Melana saw a potential long term relationship with marriage being the final destination. However, I don't believe that she was interested in being a wife and mother at this point in her life in spite of what she may have said on the show. Her career is her main focus. As for Jason, a long term relationship is unrealistic. He is in no position to provide her with any sense of stability, financial or otherwise, as a student living with his parents. By having Melana choose the "pretty boy", NBC is able to maximize publicity for the show with two highly photogenic people. She maintains a short term relationship with Jason knowing that it will end once the public spotlight dies down. Melana can then add this to her acting resume and pursue other television projects. Jason can regale his college buddies with stories of his romantic evenings with Melana at keg parties. As for Adam, I firmly believe he is the ultimate winner. He proved himself to be a gentleman throughout the entire process and I am sure that his stock among the female population has risen considerably.
