Because it can in no way hide how into each other they are. Just look at the screen caps. They look absolutely ga ga !

I just tried to post this on the network board and they wouldn't accept it.

Matt may indeed propose to Shayne, but only because Chelsea told him on the last chance date that she wasn't ready to get married and she had a lot more living to do before she starts a family as he remarked in an interview.


Isn't that odd that it couldn't be posted? Of course there is a clip of Chelsea saying she would accept his proposal.

Re: Airing an ATFR on the 27th-- can't see that happening. We'll be 2 weeks post-FRC and people will be engrossed in Deanna's show. I can't see them suddenly bringing back 'the happy couple' when their time is done.

ETA: Didn't realize you'd already mentioned it (jumbling up words) happening to you too, Cailg. You're not alone!

This is a quite common and interesting phenomenon called "Spoonerisms". There are a bazillion research papers out there in scholarly journals if one cares to read them. The more interesting papers are written by psycholinguists (psychologists who study language, not "crazy" linguists, although there are a few of those out there too) and linguists.

Ok I'm a little confused with your comment. Why would Matt think that Chelsea would want to marry him when she didn't really open up to him or want PDA with him??? Matt is very affectionate like Shayne. They are both Water signs, so I really don't think he was considering Chelsea for a marriage proposal. jmo

Where do we find these vids? The parasailing, the parents?

[dodie430]

Thanks for the direction to the videos. I think I just about went into a diabetic coma with all the monkey syrup in that one. Gag. I'm sorry I don't know anyone who talks like that - even in love.

[Oops I take that back - my 13 yr old daughter talks exactly like that about Zack Efron]

Anyway, I so totally apologize to the Shayne fans, but all that "I'm up here flying like a little angel with wings over the clouds, thinking about rainbows and kittens and Matt proposing to me"...

I know... I know... the response is that they are "so in love". But seriously, good for them, it all just seems waaay over the top to me. I am not insinuating she's being fake about it - I'm saying that I don't think I could take that whining and baby monkey stuff for 30 seconds let alone the rest of my life. Like nails on a chalkboard.

So please - it's just my opinion - and I'm not the one who has to live with it.

[Calypso]

I'm still going to "fargo" the FRC. Wouldn't be able to take the squealing when Shayne gets a load of that $60,000 ring!

The fact they're both born under the same sun sign is not normally a good match. There will be area's of strong shared emotions and other area's where the emotions are equally as strong but have a very negative effect. It usuallly runs the extreme one way or the other.

I know what you mean. My hubby and I are both Aries. We are both passionate and do have some heated "discussions" but after 20 years of marriage, I can still honestly say I love being married to him. Life is never boring with him.

I get the feeling that Shayne's growing up years may not have been as easy as we have been led to believe. Wasn't it posted that she left home at 17 which most likely meant she left school as well. Which could account for a lot of what we saw with her.

I know I'm behind but wanted to add my 2cents to the bolded part...I graduated at age 17 and moved out 1 month later...so her age is mute to this point. Also, I know many people who lived on their own their senior year of HS still and attended school.
