But they&#039;ve done a good job of overproducing the commercials so each week it looks like they&#039;ll be drama.<\/p>\n<p\/>It&#039;s down to Amanda, a 20yr old, and Jen, a 40yr old.  Or at least, those are their respective teams, not sure what their actual ages are.  Does anybody believe for a minute that that&#039;s coincidence?  That from the very beginning the producers weren&#039;t manipulating the choices to make sure it came down that way?  I think I would have been more impressed if it had come down to two from a single age group, it would have felt more real.<\/p>\n<p\/>My guess is that he picks Jen, the older one.  Because although almost all the episodes have been edited to show Amanda getting all the attention, several times you got this &#034;I saved the best for last&#034; comment regarding Jen, who was normally left until the end.<\/p>\n<p\/>But what happened to Megan?  She&#039;s afraid to fly, so she can&#039;t go on the trip to Australia, so she&#039;s kicked off the show?  Kerry is pissed!  She&#039;s sitting there yelling at the tv, &#034;That&#039;s how he&#039;s going to decide who he loves, who&#039;s not afraid to fly?  That&#039;s not fair!&#034;  All&#039;s fair in love and reality tv, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I guess this show turned watchable after all, Kerry and I have been following it through the weeks.
