The point of the show was basically another very entertaining way to gain money, and cause lots of drama. At first it was every man for themself participating in different games or challenges that would keep them save from being eliminated. The winner would pick 1-3 people of the opposite sex and take them on date. Within the first few weeks the viewers began to notice the frienships building, along with the love affairs and of course the hate & betrayal.
Nearing the end of a very emotional 7 weeks the finalists were Tenley & Kiptyn, along with Natalie & Dave.
The 4 finalists were both allies, very good friends and had love affairs.
The final episode definalty a nail biter for all viewers. The final decision was done by votes of the kicked off contestants. DEFINALTY NOT GOOD IF YOU BETRAYED MANY! The finalists were put into a room each alone. They had no idea how the decision would be made but it came down to "keep" or "share". Example: Natalie picked "share" and Dave picked "share" = team (Natalie & Dave) would both split the $250 000.00. If one picked "keep", and the other "share" = "keep" would keep the money to themself. If they each picked "keep" = the money was distributed evenly to all previous contestants who did not make it to the finals and left the winning couple with nothing. Luckily Dave & Natalie who got the most votes both picked "keep" with no idea what their partner would choose (HUGE RISK)!! & THEY WON THE COMPETITION! CONGRATULATIONS NATALIE & DAVE :)

LOVE STORIES:)!....

David Good and Natalie Getz

There couldn't have been a better way for them to end the competiton. They're cha-cha may not have saved them from elimination but their trust in one another got them to $250,000. Will the money allow them to shorten their long distance relationship?
David won the kissing competition and chose Natalie to share a fantasy suite with him. Although they are a "closet couple" for the competition, do we see a future for them? They may make it all the way to the end if they can keep their relationship hidden from everyone else. And they did!

Tenley and Kiptyn
Kiptyn and Tenley have been a couple since the first day of the competition. We were happy to see that they have continued to see each other after they left the mansion. Although they didn't win the money, did they leave the show with love instead of money?

Elizabeth Kitt and Jesse Kovacs

Despite having strong feelings after the show, Kovacs and Elizabeth did not continue their relationship after the show.
They are the only two that came into the house as a couple. We already saw Jesse's concern about being a couple during the first episode.

Gia Allemand and Wes Hayden

Gia and Wes definitely had some chemistry before Gia was eliminated. Wes helped Gia win the pie eating competition and received the rose from their group date. Gia is also the only girl that came to the competition with a boyfriend. Wes mentioned if he won the money, he'd be coming to NYC to find Gia. Should we believe him or was he just trying to play the game for $250,000?

Overall it was a very entertaining and easy to watch show that I hope is produced again in summer 2011:) It was alot of fun to watch! A great summer show:)
