Re: Tim Lopez - Ready For Love - Spoilers - Thread #3

Beb, I've penciled you in my calendar.

I've enjoyed the dissection with you and look forward to more.

FWIW, I think the editors of RFL should not add this show to their resumes. As an prospective employer, it would be a huge red flag to me.

Litta/Noob, There's probably some bragging rights (for us and them) in being so intimately involved in the show that jumped the reality TV shark.
Never been such a convoluted mess of a TV show. Little wonder our heads our spinning off our bodies...

And Cho, ABOUT HAILEY!!! Wouldn't surprise me if she was F1. Nothing else about this show makes any sense. I could see the producers going okay, we've messed with them enough, just stick her in at the end. Sara's stuff in the context of Hailey as F1 makes sense to me.
Jeez. How the heck did they rope us in like this?

[Litta123]

C'mon girls (and guy, Hi Matchmaker!) If Sara is F1, then she's had to endure the 'Jenna Love' on this board for weeks. Put yourself in her shoes. I'd be ready to come out swinging at someone...if she's not F1, then yes, the pics on her FB are a little weird. That's my point.
If she is F1, I would have had ENUFF at this point of everyone on this board saying it's Jenna. ENUFF.

Playing devil's advocate again, I think that the stuff posted here is pretty insignificant to Sara. I'm not sure she's even reading here. The only reason I think that Jenna and Hailey are is due to their specific responses on twitter. Sara seems to have quite the support from people on her FB page because that's where she's doing most of her posting. I don't have a masters degree in Sara's twitter page like I do Jenna's, but I think, in general, she's getting positive feedback. If anything, as a F1, she might appreciate the confusion to keep the spotlight off...unless, you think Sara is the jealous type? Jealousy is not a characteristic I see in the little I know of Sara...but maybe I'm wrong.

Perhaps she is simply celebrating and sharing her discovery that she was able to love again.

I agree, doc. Sara has made so many statements during the show that reflect a joy about feeling those feelings again...for the first time since she lost her fiance. Knowing that Timmy was sick and doing battle with cancer, she must have lived with a heaviness and state of grief for such a long time. This experience must have given her hope for a happy future...at least, it would me.

So when people wonder why all the Sara positivity towards Tim, their experience on RFL, and Tim's family if she's not F1, I think she could simply be expressing a heart of gratitude. It would be consistent with being a woman of faith and in whom she has put her trust. When someone has been a part of your healing journey, there is a sense of deep gratitude and specialness towards that person -- even if/when it doesn't become more than that. At least, that has been true for me. There are people in my life that have been used to bring significant healing to my soul and heart. We no longer walk side by side in the day to day journey of life; but when I think of them and their impact on me, I become teary eyed. I am eternally grateful for them...and will always remember our time fondly.

Yes, I can agree with this to a point, I'm just questioning some of the more personal ones about them as a couple.

" So, you know, it worked for Tim. He's still with the girl that he met on the show, so. He was really ready for love. It seems to be going strong for him so far, so, we'll see what happens."

Are they or were they in Florida?

Litta, they are ALL reading this site. Even Ms. Sara.

I think Sara's gotten her fair share of love as has Hailey. We just see more 'evidence' for Jenna otherwise I'm sure more would be said about Sara.

I want in on this too! We can make a new thread called "WTH happened!?!?" However, we would have to then create a subsequent, self help, thread entitled "I must be a sadist, because I continue to dissect this horrible show Anonymous"

Thank goodness the show is over and we won't have to go through it again.

Hahaha! No kidding! Glad I'm not into the bach this year!

Maybe it is just me but I do not really see a true connection with Tim and Sara. I keep seeing Sara as this girl that his parents would like. She forces her "I am an honest and true person that would love and be always there". Just once I want Tim to think of Sara of some person he would want for himself and not what his parents want for him.

I completely agree with your comment!

Me three! I keep seeing a girl that is trying so hard to sell herself to Tim---Each time she talks, it's like a sales speech. I liked her story and thought she was a great match for Tim in the beginning but I don't anymore.

Aww I like Tom! He can write me a song anytime. Seriously, what kinda of girls is he going after that wouldn't be impressed by him or his songwriting? Maybe he does need a matchmaker.

[Guest]

What lyrics to a song? I missed that? I could see him agreeing to that for that reason though. I will say he has said a few things to lead her on if she's not the F1. Sometimes, I even consider that she is a plant if he chooses no one.

Just to be clear, I am talking about the general public viewing the show. To them, they would be thinking Sara is the F1. We make up a small percentage.

Here is a tweet from Jenna's friend to her. Would she joke about it, if Jenna was not the F1?

Jenna Reeves ‏@imaJENNAtion_ 6h
Phew! Safe for another week! “@ccottington: @imaJENNAtion_ you had me worried for a minute.”

Grace the song about him being in reverse or something like that. Made me think that he knew he wasn't going to be doing a lot of kissing and he said he'd slowed down so much he felt like he was in reverse or something like that. Help me out here ladies, I have an old mind. LOL I think the lyrics may be in this thread. I know I saw it in one of the RFL's.

No, I don't see the friend joking if Jenna weren't the F1. That could be painful and would be hurtful unless she just didn't know if Jenna was F1 or not and I can't see her close friends not knowing esp if Jenna has been seen in the same places as Tim has since the show wrapped up.. How long has the time been between filming and now of this show. Seems like I remember somebody saying close to 8 months? If so WOW! .

Oh ok.. I understand what you were saying about the lyrics now. I was surprised that the MMs (especially Matt) agreed with Sara on suggesting they not kiss. Sara seems to leading in substance, but lacking in chemistry, so I didn't think that was a wise move on her part. Now if Jenna said that, it would make more sense, because their chemistry is established and it would leave him wanting more, but they could develop on other levels. But even with Jenna, I would find it to be a game and in this short time span with other girls kissing him, not wise.

As far as the format of this show, they need to hire all of us as consultants next time they develop a show. I'm pretty sure our combined insights on these shows would be most helpful! For instance, we would have shot down the barbie tubes! My head was spinning with how many times they were in and out of the tubes yesterday. I'd keep Matt for his delightful commentary (he is the star of the show in my eyes) and maybe Amber as her matchmaking skills were not bad. Cut it to two bachelors and 1 host. Focus on the dates more. No WTA fighting, but I enjoyed the MM feedback.

[Brill]

Why does Sara have to sell their relationship on Twitter and Facebook. IMO it seems so controlling and desperate or she is not F1.

Sara Lavagnino ‏@thelavagirls 6m
What a beautiful family Tim comes from, that's so important and rare these days! #family #love [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

You never know what one picture means but to me on this one of Tim, he has his arms folded which is never a great sign. His smile seems to match hers but his eyes are of a friendly nature, they don't match his smile. Like I like you but......

Now she could be the F1 but that is what I read that as.

*sigh* Sadly, some of her original comments about making him see that she is one for him are ingrained in my brain and I can't seem to get past them. In Santa Barbra she planted a seed in his head that as of the most recent episode has grown in a full blown weed... with roots deep enough to convince Tim that what he is supposed to want might actually be something that he really does want.

Sweet girl, and I'm glad she was able to love again, but their story from the very beginning has seemed kinda manipulative or like a game plan. Even before they saw each other (the first episode) the deceased fiance was coming up. It worked because after he heard that he brought her around. I want to like their relationship and see it as sweet and blossoming, but I just can't. I knew from the beginning her past coming out so early would bother me. Sorry! Don't hate me. :hidingchair

I too see the similarities between Sara and Ashlee and Jenna and Catherine... even Lindsay a little.

[Brill]

NBC needs to go back to doing Love In The Wild. After only 2 seasons they have the most couples that are still together after the show then any other Reality show about Love.
Plus I LOVE the show and the concept!!
