Reality dating shows are a big guilty pleasure of mine. Have you seen any of these shows? Would you admit it if you did?

"Daisy Of Love" is the new one. I don't know what it is about it, but I love it. I think it could have something to do with the fact that I think several of the guys on the show are super yummy. Then again, most dating shows involve a bunch of girls chasing a guy. I like that this one is the other way around. I find it interesting to watch the reactions of these guys to competition and jealousy.

I also really enjoyed "Tough Love". This show was about dating, but it was centered around teaching (somewhat dysfunctional) women how to date. Some of the ladies did form relationships on the show, but in the end I don't think any of them lasted.

Do you think that it is possible to find love on a reality show? Would you try it?

Do you think Daisy had plastic surgery since her appearance on "Rock of Love"? I caught an episode last night and she looked different. I can't believe that she would think that 12 pack is on that show in order to find true love. How many reality shows has he been on already?

I don't think that it's possible to find true love on a reality show. Most of the contestants on those types of shows never have enough alone time to really get to know the person they are trying to fall in love with. I think that in most cases it's just lust and they realize that once the cameras stop rolling.

I don't think I would ever try out to be on a reality show in hopes of finding love because of that. Also, I don't think I would want my private moments broadcasted on live television.

Yeah, I think she's maybe had a few surgeries? Natural or not, there is something wrong with that upper lip. Sometimes I think she is pretty, but sometimes it looks like she has lipstick smeared all over her face because her lips shouldn't be where they are...? Do you know what I mean?

I liked London, even though he was a total mess. (He actually looks a lot like one of my ex's. For a minute I thought it was him! ) Anyway, I think they really kind of did like each other, and maybe if they had met in a different way, they might have had something.

12-pack being on the show is just funny. She seems to kind of like him though, did you notice that? I guess it's possible that he's an alright guy, but c'mon. He obviously likes to be on tv, a whole lot. If I was Daisy, I wouldn't trust that he was there for 'me' at all!

I think you are right about the lust thing. None of the couples ever stay together for long after the show. I guess Brett dated Amber for 10 months or something, but what does that really mean? Did they spend any real time together? The the way it sounded to me, they talked on the phone sometimes and maybe "hooked up" once or twice a month. I guess I don't count that as a meaningful relationship.

Would I go on one of those shows? I don't know, it looks kind of fun but it's more like a game than anything else. I wouldn't let any guy kiss me after he kissed ten other girls the same day, so I'm sure I'd get eliminated, but that's just gross. Do I think you can find true love on tv? No way. The situation just seems to make it an impossiblity. You can't take any of those people seriously. I think they are all there just to get on television, no matter what they say. I also think that many of them fool themselves into thinking they are having real feelings. They maybe even believe it. The problem is that they are forced to try to form a relationship in a certain amount of time, and with all these crazy things going on. When things calm down, the cameras turn off, and they go back to every day life, they seem to find that it was just glitter, not gold, so to speak.

No joke. I've never been the orgy type -but that's just getting started on all the reasons such a venue is disturbing.
Whew.

Daisy kissed at least two (maybe more) of the guys on her show before the first night was over. It couldn't have been eight hours after meeting them for the first time.
I wouldn't call all of the people on these shows "kids" but most certainly don't act like adults either. (Binge drinking, getting into fights, making out with people they don't even know...) But, am I a prude? Do people really act like that on dates these days? I wish I could say no, but even my mother-in-law, who is 58 years old and dating again, has said that many of the guys she dated "expected something" from her after a first date. I'm no goody two shoes to be sure. I have kissed someone goodnight after a very good first date. But is dating even about getting to know each other these days, or is it all about sex?

I think it takes a certain type of person to go on that type of show and I honestly don't think most of them have any respect for themselves. I agree with you, they are adults but nothing they do proves that. I still can't help watching though!

London seemed cool and I thought it was pretty mature of him to walk away from the show because he didn't think that it would work out with them.

I think for most people dating is about getting to know each other but since so many people are willing to have sex on the first date, it has become expected also.

So far my top three picks for her are:

Cage
Sinister
and maybe Flex?
They seem the most 'real' to me.
I like Big Rig, but I don't think they would be right for each other.

At first I kind of liked Chi-Chi. He seems sweet, but I'm thinking he's maybe too sweet? A bit wimpy.

Fox needs to go. He's pretty, but he's also very conceited.

I only watched the fall0out of "Rock of Love" in "Rock of Love Charm School" because a schoolmate of mine was in it... She ended up winning!

Oh, that's funny ladymacb! Small world!

Well, of course now Cage is gone. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to hold back on the fighting. Kinda knew that was going to happen. Still, I feel sorry for him. I think he's a very sweet guy who has had a very hard life. Poor thing. Sounds like he has been fighting his entire life to survive. He's all screwed up, but it's sad. He could probably use some professional help to deal with his issues, but I bet having someone love him would go a long way too. Makes me want to give him a big hug.

That thing with the skunk was positively hilarious! I can't believe those guys were throwing up. That was so funny!

I was right about Fox, although I didn't realize he was quite as dim witted as he. Wow. How does a hairdresser not know who Marilyn Monroe is? He also sounds so silly when he talks, using words that don't exist or that he minced up. What a dope. I am going to guess that he gets by on his looks, ey? I liked 12-pack's team's photo much better, but I'm not suprised that she picked the other one. The good news is that Fox won the single date, and I think that even she realized that there is nothing more than a physical connection there. I hope he goes home next but who knows. These guys are doing a fine job at eliminating themselves.
