Not that it really matters, but yeah, of course he knows. I can't believe it's even in question. I've never seen worse acting in my life. This "matt" guy is the most unreal person I've ever seen. And here's the best "proof" I have. If this guy is supposedly so super-nice - as he's portrayed as being so far - why did he suddenly forget what an asshole "hutch" was just because "ashleigh" had a crush on the host guy? The super-nice guy who all along has SEEMED super nice and sensitive not only gets upset with asleigh, he then goes on to scheme with EVERYONE about getting rid of her. It just doesn't ring true.
Nevermind the thigns everyone else already adds.
He has more "emotion" than anyone ever. He responds to almost every single comment with a huge grin on a huge grimace. (no wonder he had to drop out of law school, if that's really what he's like) He's just over-acting to a fault. He's also gone to trouble to confound all their setups, like the "hooker" thing, and at the same time, takes "all the teeniest breadcumbs" they throw and eats it up like mad.
I can't even believe I'm wasting my time WRITING about this stupid show. I just came to this site to see if anyone else in American was smart enough to realize this whole thing is one huge set-up.
Ok, I'm not watching anymore of it.
