"3"

I'm not sure. I think that was mainly The Bachelor that was an hour.

I like this show way more! I'm over the Bach Nation. Over it!

Ep 7 is already up at CBS.

Wow! Great to know. Most likely due to Mon being a holiday.

Yay!

What do y'all think about the cliffhanger? I really like Rachel's choice and I felt bad for Libby. I think she ended up with two great guys....what a difficult choice!

And April...who is so hard on poor Joe when he's obviously trying so hard.

I loved this episode! Everything I've always wanted from a dating show. At this point I'm invested in the people, and they are showing so much that is real. Real connections, real issues to decide on (and no manufactured drama), and real romance! Some very cute moments, just wish all the women could have kept all the guys!

Not sure why they wanted the cliffhanger, though. Definitely felt bad about the relationships that didn't work out at this point, but at least they were handled with some dignity.

I think the hard thing was that the episodes getting to this point were more difficult to invest in, and if you don't rope in the viewers from day 1 and keep them through day 2 and 3, the odds are against them making it to day 7.

Eta: So Marcus, Joe, and Andrew talk a lot on twitter and seem to be friends. I wonder if they're the winners. Just one guy for each goes to Hawaii, right?

This has been rolling around in the back of my head for awhile and it makes sense to me now...glad they were able to make friends from their journey and time together in Hawaii! I really enjoyed that all three "couples" spent time together and I LOVED that they all sat down with one of the other women/men to give advice and ask questions. I'm assuming they did that with Josh, John, and Richard too...but it didn't get shown? Or maybe not, since Richard left early the second day.

I feel SO bad for Joe...I think April is super hard on him. She says she wants to be a mom and a wife, but she definitely seems to be keeping the conversations light and happy. I think Joe is ready to commit, but I'd be hesitant too if the other person was always so flippant and telling me to lighten up.

Two men per woman went to Hawaii. Marcus, Joe and Andrew were in the same set of dates. Watch episode 7!

The original quote was back in the beginning when were sleuthing things...so when I saw them together in Hawaii, it made sense to me. (I wish the quotes had date stamp info on them.) The rest of my comment was after I watched episode 7.

I'm waiting to watch it tomorrow!

I did not get why Marcus said "I dodged a bullet" in reference to Libby?

Marcus & Joe are both Harvard guys, so no wonder they are still twitter pals. Found it ironic that 2 guys from our nation's most prestigious school ended up as fodder for a reality dating show LOL.
