I don't know, but if we can calculate how long it is until Jake passes through puberty, that's where I'd lay my money.
Also, just a random thought, but can you resole elevator shoes? Because I swear in every recent photo Vienna seems to be getting uncomfortably close to him in height (she is 5'4" confirmed).

Sorry Sonyab, I definitely need to go back and look at Martin Hilton again. When I saw him, my honest thought was, "how interesting that this series showcases attractive people in glamourous situations, but everyone on the other side of the camera seems to range from extremely average (Martin) to kind of a slob (Rozlyn's producer) to someone you don't ever want touching your children (Frankenfleiss)."

I'm definitely going to watch it, but I have this terrible feeling that it'll be a Fleiss directed documentary on the making of a reality show, minus the stuff that bothers many of us here -
the contracts these people sign
manipulation by the producers
reading off cue cards
the casting of characters
outlining the story in advance
the real reasons why people leave
liquoring people up until they say something stupid
conduct of people off screen
splicing and editing to create a false impression
pressure to get a proposal
Chris Harrison's disinformation campaign
addressing tabloid stories (the Tanya scandal comes out tomorrow)
how they get away with it
Now if somebody on a competing network had the guts to do THAT story, it would demonstrate true journalistic integrity, and nerves of steel.
But it isn't going to happen on 20/20 (ABC). So in a way, I feel like we're just being manipulated again

You remember when JED went on the show this season to "help" Jake evaluate the girls (he took none of their advice)?
I thought that was one of the funniest and cutest moments I've seen on this show - because they were so much on the same wavelength. A little goofy, slightly twisted, but totally comfortable together.
I personally think Ed made some mistakes. I think Jillian has a big heart and was able to let it go. So I genuinely believe they are happy.
I may be proven totally wrong, but I don't think Jake and Vienna are anything like JED - not in ambitions, underlying values, depth, motives, quality, intelligence...you name it.
Jake is going to do what is best for Jake. And even if that means dropping Vienna out of a plane over Sanford, Florida, it will still have been worth it to Vienna because for 8 1/2 minutes, people knew her name.

I love, "The sky did a full Mesnick on their wedding."
Jason Castro is a complete stoner, or retarded. He was the best entertainment this show could book? They must have had to drag him out of coffee house with 3 patrons to book him. I guess this is where they cut the budget.
Please get this twerp out of my life. Put him in a van with Jesse Csinksak, drive them to Nicaragua, take their passports, and throw away the keys.

I'd rather spend a month locked in an elevator with Jake, Vienna, Ed, Wes, Nikki with orange hair, Rozlyn, and nothing but beer and pork rinds than turn on my TV again and see Jesse Csinksak. WHY???
