I'm with you Beb- why did they even bother airing this? It was doomed from the start!

I really think this show will live on as an example of how these dating shows are so incredibly degrading to women...
This really is the best example of this yet...

Lol to your cousin, seriously it's ridiculous to think just because Sara might have been a fan favorite to some that they would cancel a show because she wasn't the F1, if anything this would have been an automatic winner for the next season of this, since Sara was supposedly the fan favorite .....Eva probably didn't tweet about this show because she was with one of the leads, NBC pulled the plug because of that and the rating wasn't great....Not because of Sara that is doing a disservice to the other lovely women who was apart of this show that I really enjoyed

Exactly! We've got two successful couples coming out of this show ... still together 10 months post production!! I can't see how that's a bad thing.

Yes, the edit was crappy but that's not the final couples' fault. Unless one of the members here was actually part of production or in the room with Tim & his producers (or Sara & her producers), we'll NEVER know what went on behind the scenes.

Probably because a) they'd already sunk production money into it, and b) they may have hoped that there would be a large enough audience willing to watch a train wreck that it would eclipse the 'romance' viewers they'd probably lose.

And that brings me to the most cringe-worthy moment of the whole thing...Jenna at lunch with Tim's parents telling them how impressed she was about Tim's 'respect' for women. At the time, I remember thinking 'wow' that's awkward coming out of her mouth. But now it's hysterical in context of the show. Like the producers/editors thought her saying it was gonna make it all okay. Too funny. Not saying Tim doesn't respect women (don't know him) ..but.just funny that they felt Jenna needed to say it out loud.

I am truly sorry for Sara. She was classy on this show from start to finish. That said, I am kind of surprised that so many here feel it was horribly cruel to take her to the end. Maybe Tim did legitimately see a future with her, but ultimately decided that he wanted a different one than the one he saw with her.

Nonetheless, Sara, to my eye didn't shed a tear. She's a strong woman, no doubt, but she didn't appear to be devastated. I'm sure it hurt. She had every reason to be emotional, yet she held it together.

We've seen women go home on The Bachelor, without nearly a connection at all, sobbing.

Anyway, when Tim got down to his final women, he clearly had a tough choice, but he made the choice that he felt best for him.

He said that they were offered other options to show it but that it was obvious that Sara was the fan favorite by such a large margin and that Ernesto was done with Shandi that it didnt make sense to sink any money further into it. He asked me if I didnt think it was wierd that you have not seen a thing about it on TV recently. He said they cant be done with this soon enough.

You are absolutely right. Her show just aired it's finale today and she doesnt even congratulate the 2 successful couples! That's a 66% success rate which Mike Fleiss would KILL for. And she's adopted radio silence. That is incredible.

Eva's silence: Eva doesn't want to answer any questions regarding the pictures of Ernesto and her!

Mike Fleiss would also kill for an ending like Sara's ... guaranteed ratings for the next season.

Let's face it ... NBC pulled this when the pictures started coming out showing Eva and Ernesto together.

Loved Tim's song; he and Jenna are together and happy; Sara didn't shed a tear, and she needs some distance between her fiance's death and her next relationship, this show gave her that distance and she was thankful to Tim for showing her she can feel again ... why shouldn't we also be thankful if she is?

Great sleuthing Noobs, CSW and everyone else!

All this talk about what really matters is that Tim and Jenna found true love on the show is disgusting. Let's be real...Tim is a loser. Respect for women, you say? That's a bunch of crap. In Hailey's hometown date, he had a mad make-out session with Hailey on the beach and said that he needs to keep her around, but then he lets her go. In Sara's hometown, he said SO many things to Sara and her family that made her seem like she was the final one. He obviously followed a script and did/said all those things solely for the show. I didn't care for Ernesto, but at least, he stayed true to himself - didn't go kissing every girl and didn't string them along for show. In my opinion, he is the only who respected the women.

I saw Eva on Katie Couric's show 2-3 weeks ago, she was on for multiple segments and they talked about a bunch of things Eva is involved in, but not a single word was said about RFL. This was after the rumors about her and Ernesto surfaced so I wondered at the time if that's why Katie was told not to bring up the show. But maybe Eva is embarrassed about it being cancelled so quickly and didn't want to discuss a failure. Anyway, it's obvious Katie was told it was a forbidden subject. If Eva believed in the show and was proud of it despite being cancelled she would've wanted to get in a few words about watching the episodes at NBC.com or OnDemand. And like you guys said, she'd be tweeting about it.

I think Sara was edited to be a lead in season 2, perhaps at the expense of Tim and Jenna. They do this on the Bachelor a lot so I kinda expected it and saw where they were leading the audience in the last two episodes (I didn't watch the 4 episodes in the middle).
