I think you can find lust...not love. And when that wears off what happens next?

Ksabin you are completely on point. The alcohol was flowing and all inhabitions went out the window. How can you find true love in that situation? It's aboslutely crazy!  The track record for couples who met on the show proves that there is one in a million chance that you will make it once the luxuries and booze are gone.

Awesome question Ashley!

Why wouldn't they fall in love?  The picnics with champagne, the horse and carriage rides with champagne and the long walk on the beach.....with champagne.  Are we seeing a trend here?  They are all drunk!

Seriously though, I believe you can find some chemistry and that is about it.  Any relationship that started on a reality show really did just that...started.  After that they have to sober up and see if there is really something there.  Looking at the track records, most of the times there isn't.

This is intriguing.  Sure, I think you can fall infatuated with someone in six weeks.  You can do that in a day.  But can you really and truly fall in love with someone after that long?  My response is not really.  I think you can envision a life with someone, love them for the person they seem to be and want to spend all of your time with them.  

But give them a few more weeks.  When they get stressed out or if you do something that ticks them off, then you'll start to see them in all of their real glory.  I'm not at all saying they will turn out to be a monster or your relationship will fail, but I think you need to give someone time to show all facets of their personality, unleash their quirky (aka annoying) habits and share their values with you before you can say you really love them.  If you can love them even though they pick their teeth with paper or refuse to turn off the lights when they leave then you might be starting to see what love is.  To me, love is a choice you make everyday,  and sometimes it's a hard one.

Oh yeah and for the TV part, I honestly believe these people are putting on their best and most dramatic faces for those short 6 weeks.  It's definitely not the real person we are seeing.
