I think Larissa is actually very sympathetic to the Joes. The himbos are just a flash in the pan to her, by comparison.

> She's really prone to
>occasional boughts of losing
>control when it comes to
>the Himbos.

Yes, but later in the same episode she admitted that she was not proud of herself for some of the dates she'd had. She realized that she needed to get away from all of that and get back to just being herself and really getting to know the guys.

>Watching the Pool fight a couple
>of nights ago, was in
>my opinion like watching some
>bad Teen movie from the
>80's.

Sure, but even that was an example of getting away from all the kissey kissey hot tub stuff and just being yourself.

>I fully expected Sex to soon
>ensue. IT's pretty sad, how

Yes, but that's because she actually connects with them on a real level, especially Tony.

>I really hate the whole, let's

>it's so Cheap.

Yes it is.

I don't know how long you've been watching Average Joe 2, but again, after watching all the episodes, it seems to me that Larissa is actually connecting quite well with the Joes, and views the himbos as being very superficial, eventhough she admitedly indulges for a while with them.

Then after that, she sends them home. For example: Todd, whom she sent home on Monday. He couldn't understand why Larissa sent him home after he had so much kissy face with her.

>Reality shows really do bring out
>the truth about people.
>i sensed the same sort
>of stuff when i was
>watching Paradise Hotel. It's
>like a train wreck, you
>know?

Oh My God! Don't get me started! Paradise Hotel was the biggest reality farce of all time! But not because of the bodies and the hot tubs, just because they changed the rules constantly with so many twists each episode that by the time it was over the conclusion had become meaningless.

>you want to
>scream, you know, if you
>have a great body you
>get exactly what you want.

On some shows, maybe. But I don't think that's where Average Joe 2 is headed.

>I hope I'm right about Michael
>C. I really hope
>he blows it tommorrw.

Even if he doesn't, I don't think Larissa will chose him in the end.

>I'm
>sad to see Fredo Go,,
>but I"'d REALLY REALLY REALLY
>prefer if it came down
>to Two Joes. Iknow
>it won't happen.

It won't happen simply because the producers are requiring Larissa to eliminate equal numbers of Joes and Himbos each episode.

>Does anyone know what the success

>Joe Millionarie is the one
>that apparently can't hold a

>a lot of cheating and
>broken relationships, but i'm wondering

>wonder if Maleena is actually
>still with her, Hunk?

They say that he and Maleena see each other about twice a year. As for the Fox stuff, it's all garbage in my opinion. lol
