Anytime you put yourself on national TV you lose your expectation of privacy.  If these were contestants on Jeopardy, I *might* say a gossip board about their personal life is going a bit too far.  But for God's sake these people agreed to go on a national show where they get MARRIED to a stranger and talk about their personal life, sex life, etc.  Any lines that could have been drawn they long crossed over.

The bolded could not be further from the truth. It has zero to do with choosing people that are photogenic or that make exciting TV. And I mean zero.

Every single couple has issues they are dealing with, just like we all do. This is real life. Production builds a storyboard surrounding the conflict or hurdle, but it is in no way part of the selection process.

The experts are putting their professional integrity on the line and they each take this very seriously. Not one of them would be a part of this if it were about creating exciting TV. That has been made very clear to me in multiple conversations.

ANYWAY, back to the topic of discussion, anyone notice how both Sean and Davina and Ryan and Jess had sushi the first night? And Ryan and Jaclyn had pizza?? Could that mean the sushi eaters are divorced and the pizza eaters are the winners?!?!

This year there were 7000 applicants based on what Dr C has said about his pages of data per applicant and the hours he spent on annalyzing them he looked at 56 applicants. So there may very well been better applicants for each person we will never know as they were not looked at in depth.  Re their professional reputation this year especially they seem to be pairing people that do not seem ready for marriage, they need to do some self reflection and ask why are so many of the participants unable to communicate effectively  when that is one of the major things needed for a good relationship"

I have never posted on one of these sites, but I have had it with the cyber bullying & mean words from strangers who don't know either party. I want to say that Jerseynurse is spot on with her post. Sean is not a good person at all!! Not one person that personally knows him, have had anything postive to say about this guy, not even his own family. As for Davina, the only people posting negative comments are strangers. Not one person has come forward with a true negative story about Davina. Sean definitely went on this show for the wrong reasons, he wanted to be a TV star, not married to someone. For anyone to believe that he doesn't watch this show, that is crazy to me, he eats it up & swallows it. He would tell people while they were filming, just wait & see the show, it's going to be huge, you'll know me then.

Sean has severe anxiety issues & very high highs & very low lows,
This guy crys at the drop of a dime, & the one time Davina crys on camera, everyone wants to criticize her for being needy. Sean is so disconnected to anyone else's feelings in the room, almost as if he is completely empty inside. How can one person claim that they were bullied as a child, yet they were a womanizer & a jock.. A womanizing jock is not a kid who was bullied. He is a compulsive liar. He wears military dog chains everyday & talks about the army to strangers & poses as if he is a veteran, meanwhile, he has never served in the military. He got on this show because he knew Jamie & Doug from last season & had an in, not because he was searching for love. He made sure to play up the miscarriage on camera, just to get women to feel sorry for him, while his knocked up "booty call" was pregnant, he was flirting with every nurse & hooking up with other girls! If you all watched so closely, which it seems like you do, pointing out every flaw of Davinas.. You would notice Sean say that he hadn't been in a relationship or involved with someone for 3 years, which is why he spent Christmas alone & single. Yet he just had a miscarriage this year, this guys story never adds up. He says in one clip, how he was willing to relocate for love, yet he only would drive into Manhattan when they needed to film.

Everyone wants to say Davinas high maitanance, selfish, a bitch, etc. all of these people writing this about her are strangers whom never met her. Davina went on this show, because she had everything going for her in her life. She just purchased a new apartment (yes before she went on the show) She has a great job based in Manhattan, has lots of great friends, & a loving personality, only thing that was missing was a genuine man that she could call her husband. However these "experts" found a compulsive liar fame searching, non affectionate, "ER/trauma" nurse. I hope that in the end of the show, the truth about these two comes out for the viewers, & they can actually see the "true" character of who they really are! The truth always comes out! Maybe Sean learned from this experience, maybe the tides will turn, & Sean may become the Prince Charming, everyone watching the show makes him out to be!! I hear he has a visit from the fairy godmother & becomes a changed man on episode 8, & they live happily ever after!

Thank you JerseyNurse for actually exposing Seans true colors for the viewers, as the only people, these viewers should be sympathetic to is Davina! Hope that puts a lot into perspective!
