I didn't realize Randi was that young. But even still, that's old enough to have fallen in love at least once ---- I find it hard to believe she never has been. I was "in love" with my high school boyfriend and a couple subsequent --- or at least you think you are.

Although, come to think of it, it was her mom that said: Randi's never told me she's loved a guy before ---- so maybe it's just that Randi's family is too uptight to discuss stuff like that and Randi just didn't share. Which is sad enough in itself --- if ever a family needs to take a good look at themselves after the airing of this show, it's the Randi family.

BTW, if they are so affluent, WHY do they need a measly $250K?? After taxes and all, it's a nice chunk, but certainly not what they need to put themselves through in order to get it if they already have money. Maybe Randi could use the $$ on her schoolteacher's budget (although she sure does have some damn nice clothes --- is the show supplying some of her wardrobe, I wonder??) but her family sure doesn't look like they need the money, even despite Randi's protests of how much it would "help" them.

I am loving this show, though. Steve is great. Randi could make it a little funnier if she'd start going with the flow. At this rate, I have no idea how she's going to convince her family of anything. I sure hope an acting career isn't in her post-reality show plans. lol
