He does deserve it, for wanting ratings, drama, and more drama! And giving the ladies bad edits.

I am telling you the man would throw his grandmother under the bus for an advantage and tell her, "It's reality tv".

He would probably tell her it was a better mode of transportation, too, albeit a rougher ride and then take out an insurance policy on her with him as benificiary.

We will see Deanna, probably at Eagle's Nest before or after the helicopter date IMO (whenever that is) and she IS coming back because Fleiss made her come back - for the same reasons he does other things

Hi jelle thanks. I bet he didn't have to twist her arm to much. I for one have seen enough of her.

I think that's the perfect way to state it - what we see are edited characters, shown in a way to be surprising and entertaining to the audience. I imagine there is maybe 10% reality in a reality show -- what they say isn't scripted, but the plot certainly is. The dates certainly are. The situation lends itself to an almost guaranteed hyper-aware sensitivity of attraction and immediate stress level.

Then add on top of that the fact that the editors are going to look for the best hooks, the most drama, the characters that create a good show...and edit accordingly? Who we see on the screen are almost like caricature versions of the real thing-- close enough to resemble, but nothing really like the person to start.

We see the characters fall in love... it's up to the people whether or not they are a good match and can last in real life. But I almost look at the two as different "couples" altogether.
