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."
Aww. Hehe. I didn't mean to ruin your day!! Consider this though... Anna chose me for the very fact that we WOULD remain friends, regardless of whether a relationship were to develop out of it. Happily, we are both still very good friends and it continues to grow everyday.
As for not getting a chance to make things work... this is true. I will admit that NBC (or any channel for that matter) doesn't make it very easy for contestants on these sorts of shows to DEVELOP a real relationship post-show. But... it's what I signed up for. I'm more than happy with the outcome of the show. MORE than happy. It's been a great experience for all parties involved.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I did my best to maintain a hearty sense of 'self' during the show regardless of what that meant for the outcome or the opinion of the 'critics' in the end. Although as I mentioned in my conversation with Anna... I HAVE always been seen as slightly odd by my peers, it has taught me over the years how to better cope with the opinions of others... ie.. not worry so much about them :p
