I've seen people look better after serial all-nighters than he looks these days. And what's with the wardrobe?! ABC publicity is giving him no attention, that I can see. Gray pants, brown shoes, weird shirts. Next to Shayne, all dolled up for her Close-up a la Sunset Boulevard it's positively jarring.

This is the Big Moment, adrenalin if nothing else would carry one through. Yet, he has this Hang Dog "What Have I Gotten Myself Into" look in every appearance, not just one.

Contrast this with multiple post-filming appearances (Ellen, Chris Harrison, Yo on E) where he was pinked up and lively and funny and interactive. Now he's kind of snarky and hollow-eyed. Not exactly the portrait of a Young Man in Love. Indeed, not even the portrait of Young Man in Love with the Public Eye. At least Shayne has that glow about her.

In terms of the relative morality among the final 3, it's silly to debate it at at some level. It's like studying animal behavior in captivity and making scientific judgments about how they would behave in the wild. The experiment is contaminated by the interference of producers and writers and editing.

Post-show, it's a bit less artificial. Shayne wants celebrity, and the GGW spread was a means to that end. There is no other way to understand her decision to pose for those photos. Whatever it says about her morality (very little probably), it says that she wants and craves public attention. Matt thinks he wants that too. But lately, he doesn't look like his Love Affair with the camera is going so well.

Maybe spending tooooo many nights out on the patio causes that exhaustion....

Those pictures look like they were taken after the interview with Chris Harrison. How odd that they would take pictures kissing....it looks like a staged photo op ala the movie premiere for Holly and Matt's one on one date.

If you go to justjared.com, you will see that the photos were taken last night. Shayne wore the same white dress on Ellen as she did on the Hollywood 411 interview with that cutie Chris H. She's in all black in the photos that were posted today.

Her clothes may be different, but his clothes appear to be the same. Nice to see them out and about.

He looks hammered and she doesn't look all that happy. In the other shots on Just Jared it looks like she is holding him up so he doesn't fall on the stairs. He looks as though he has done nothing but drink for the last three months. How much make-up could she jam into that purse?

The video is really telling too I think. He is pounding down some beverage when not making out for the Paparrazi, no doubt some masking strategy for whatever transpired inside Villa.

Anyway, what I really wanted to say was much more important than red flags about substance abuse: if I was the maid Chez Shayne, I'd "accidentally" put those ever present gray slacks and brown shoes out at the curb on Trash Day. My Mom had to do that for my brother's favorite bathrobe once. Totally worth it.
