It always cracks me up when those who feel that the one they favour is being attacked cry the editing foul (ie, you can't make those assumptions based on such a brief and hightly selective portion of the show) YET they also staunchly defend the virtues of their favorite based on these exact parameters.

Before anyone cries foul on me, I have been guilty of the same in past seasons, but lately I've been able to take a step back and now I'm just amused by it.

We have an EDITED view, but I don't see how anybody can really judge ANY of them on how they really are in the limited time we have seen them.

They have given us the actual words coming out of the mouth to match the actions of two girls in some detail enough to raise eyebrows imo - Shannon and Erica - but we still have to realize that even those portraits may not give us an accurate picture of those girls.

Moana was edited as having trouble jiving with the girls in the house. We heard them cattily whisper about her, and we saw her run off and throw herself onto the bed crying. However, later we learned that Moana cooked all the time for the girls in the house.

EDITING!!!!

Maybe Shannon and Erica were something entirely different in the house when we didn't see them?

When I look at this show and think about how people REALLY are in life, I remember what my 7th grade teacher frequently told us: Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

This is just a thought and maybe far fetched.........you know the picture on the beach with Jason and a unidentified woman walking together but not holding hands? Could this possibly be the Momma's boy with his mother? The family is in NZ and it would make sense that they would take a long walk to discuss the bid decision. What do you think?

I thought Jason mentioned in one of his interviews that Hilary was not participating the show. She didn't even watch it.

I think moxie was questioning if it could be Jason's mother... Hilary is Jason's ex-wife

Jason's mom isn't blonde though, she's brunette.

I just wanted to comment on the differing opinions of Melissa. Jenni drove me nuts in the first half of Brad's season. I thought she was very annoying, competitive and not genuine at all. But as we got to see her personality I really liked her by the end. I like Melissa, because mixed in with the bubbliness is a very clever and self-deprecating sense of humor - she's not shown as competitive as many of the others are. The wedding dress comment someone mentioned seemed to be just a joke and as far as her career aspirations, I thought the media-related field was a quote from 3 years ago. I guess none of us know what's in their hearts but as with Jenni, maybe she'll grow on those who don't care for her right now. I'm interested in getting to see all of their personalities over the next few weeks. So far my favorites are Melissa, Jillian and Stephanie. Depending on the edit I'm sure next week that will change!!

I agree about Melissa's self-deprecating sense of humour. The comment about having snot running down your face on the first date was quite funny, and shows she can joke about herself which is nice. She certainly is bubbly, and seems like a good girlfriend to have. Is she ready for marriage? Who knows, perhaps and then again perhaps not - she would be marrying an older man who already has a marriage behind him and a son, which could be very different than two young people starting out together.

Guess as in all things, time will tell.

Yes, and the comment about sweating in the first episode - I knew I was going to like this girl. As far as being ready for marriage and a son, who knows? Heck, I wasn't mature enough to have a baby at 30, but I did and now my kids are teenagers. Sometimes children mature you. I think that compatibility also boils down to common values and priorities. Jason said he wants a woman with a kind heart. So hopefully Melissa is that one.

And I still don't think being fun & silly goes hand in hand with being immature!! One of my best friends is the most fun person I know - she's 53, and a great mom & wife.

Besides..when you lose your sense of humor life becomes incredibly boring!

Laughter is the best medicine...and sometimes the only thing left to do is laugh at life...being outgoing, bubbly and funny doesn't resinate as immature. Acting irresponsible and neglecting your priorities is immature.

At least in my very Humble Opinion
