Do you think you could find a lasting romance on a reality TV show?
Asked at Teller’s, 746 Mass. on February 23, 2012
“I don’t know. I wanted to check it out to see what happens. I’m excited to see how (CBS’ new show “3”) may be different.”
“I figured there’s nothing to lose in trying. I’ve never been shy, always outspoken. I don’t mind being filmed.”
“I think in the format, you have to be open to the possibility it’ll work out, and the possibility it may not.”
“I don’t get embarrassed easily, so I thought I’d at least check it out at the beginning stages of the show process.”

My wife. But, I think she is just amused with the stupidity of it.

"lasting romance" yuk!
RonHolzwarth (Ron Holzwarth) says…
Yes, of course! It all depends on what you mean by "lasting romance." Do you mean until next week? Or do you mean until next month?

Sooo many opening for comments that would lead to sure removal!!!

Maybe if it was one of those shows were the contestants try to form relationships with inanimate objects. (Says to rock) why won't you talk to me???!!!!

The Newlywed game was the biggest anti-relationship reality TV ever. God, that show was funny!

Maybe if it's in 3D?

No. Lasting romance can only be found online.
RonHolzwarth (Ron Holzwarth) replies…
tange, I have known two people that got married to someone they met online, one man and one woman. The man I don't know how it worked out because he moved to Georgia, where she lived, and I never saw him again.
But, I did see the woman that got married to someone she met online, and as a direct result of that marriage, I contracted a very serious case of the dreaded 'foot in mouth' disease.
I knew her years ago, and the last I heard was that she had moved to Kansas City with her new husband, who I never met, and he was her second husband. After that, I did not see her for years.
Then one day in Topeka I was eating at a restaurant and a couple tables away, there she was! It was very nice to see her again. So we greeted each other and I walked over to her table.
She introduced me to her husband, and I told him that I was very pleased to meet him. Then I very quickly did a calculation in my head, and yes I was accurate, and I said:
"So you've been married about nine years?"
There were a few awkward moments of silence. Whoops.
Her new husband broke the silence by saying,
"No, we've been married about six months. We met in a chat room."
tange (anonymous) replies…
Yeah, I got married online once. L a s t i n g romance.
In fact, we talked—o n i i n e—just the other day.
Here are the wedding pics...

autie (anonymous) says…
Maybe. If it only had to last about a half an hour that might be good. But then again, I really doubt that....like, I'm proably old enough to be their daddy and they'd all think I was some creepy old man. Then Momma would show up and go to whompin on me...oh heck, forget the whole thing.

I would give the chance of finding a lasting romance a 6 on the Bristol Stool Scale.

I'm starting a reality show called 'Jack McKee needs Love Too". The three ladies above are my first contestants.
g_rock (anonymous) says…
Only on the "Dating Game".
Problem is that "reality TV" is never really real.
BABBOY (anonymous) replies…
G-rock gets the star with the correct answer!!!!
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
Maybe a show called "Hot Pursuit" . . . but no, they already did a couple of movies by that name.

The Mrs tells me if I were courtin' her today she could have me arrested for stalkin' her.
No idea why she would say that.
BABBOY (anonymous) says…
No. I think all reality shows are fake similar in the way of the WWE and sports entertainment.....
I mean l actually like the reality show Pawn Stars. But, seriously, those guys know more about history than the KU History department. They obviously have scripted responses, but heck I watch the WWE so I might as well watch Pawn Stars......
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
WHAT ! The WWE is REAL ! (say it isn't so . . .)
CWGOKU (anonymous) says…
Sure, love can be found anywhere. Even on a few city corners for cash. As for reality TV, I never watch it, horrible, horrible stuff. I can always find something better to watch or just turn the TV off and go outside or read
autie (anonymous) says…
Roe, I know me a couple of female types that would tell you that Triple H is definitely REAL...and boy howdy Momma sure liked it when the Rock stepped out to talk his lines with those silk shirts on....I told her my belly looked like that...back in 1979.
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
Yup . . funny thing 'bout them ladies. They all makes fun of it but ain't a one what cain't win a trivia contest aboutit.
(Roe kisses bicep . . Mrs Roe shouts, "Big Pappa Pump!"
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
. . . although my belly never looked like the Rock's . . . more like Big Show's
flux (anonymous) replies…
Maybe you should get a FB page?
labmonkey (anonymous) replies…
At least Roe stalks The Rock (kinda rhymes)... nowhere near as bad as someone stalking another LJworld commenter.
RoeDapple (anonymous) replies…
maybe I already have one . . . send me your name, address, phone#, soc. sec.#, latest bank statement, a copy of your DL and your mothers maiden name and maybe we could be friends. Maybe . . .
RonHolzwarth (Ron Holzwarth) replies…
You forgot that you also need a credit card #, and also its security code and expiration date.
labmonkey (anonymous) says…
So Marissa likes to be filmed.....
g_rock (anonymous) says…
As for myself, I may have better luck if I start a pen pal program with men in prison....*sigh*

SEND ME a card, I'm keeping A FILE of them.
riverdrifter (anonymous) replies…
Now, that's funny!
rockchalker52 (anonymous) says…
Romance. The definition changes all the time. Anything is possible, I s'pose.
FB = flux blessed?
prospector (anonymous) says…
Has it ever happened before? You think you are different?
Well, aren't you special. Get real!
CWGOKU (anonymous) says…
Thank you, I was wondering what FB meant

wat
rockchalker52 (anonymous) says…
Hey, Dapple, do I hafta start calling you Rock Stalker? That's an awful lot like my handle, buster. I guess it's OK, but you're gonna need to update your status. Will you be my friend?
Purely platonic, of course. No romance - unless we can get on TV.
RoeDapple (anonymous) replies…
pm me
;-)
faceit (anonymous) replies…
I kind of had a theory that rc52 & RD were the same person and now you're talking (to yourself). I guess you can find romance on a reality show.
labmonkey (anonymous) replies…
And stalker #2 (or flux's other ID) makes their appearance. Roe needs to start counter-stalking.
faceit (anonymous) replies…
It would seem the you're the only "stalker " here. You're not even in this conversation, but here you are.
labmonkey (anonymous) replies…
Why is almost every comment from you and flux a comment about ROE? You can go through all my comments and see that I stalk noone. You look through your's and flux's comments, almost exclusively a reply to ROE.
Andini (anonymous) says…
Only if there was nudity and lots of hot tubs.
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
"Roe needs to start counter-stalking."
Nah, I'll stick with stalker baiting . . .
You might say I'm a "master" at it . . .
(Oh, and don't forget flux/faceit's third ID , rantor)
faceit (anonymous) replies…
No connection there roe, but it would seem, we do all have one thing in common. We just happen to be the ones that would be happy to see someone else find a place where they might be appreciated. A more appropriate place on the Internet. A place where one can chatter as much as they want. Where they can send private messages or make public postings, show pictures and links to things they deem funny. A place where they can invite everyone they know to be their friend. A place where the passion and compulsion meet and can be satisfied. We're here for you, to help you, because we care, out of goodness, charity, and love.
RoeDapple (anonymous) replies…
"because we care, out of goodness, charity, and love"
Don't bother, I've got all I need. The funny part is, when you feel obligated to comment about me or others you become one of us! Well, with the exception that you add even less to the conversation . . .
rockchalker52 (anonymous) says…
"...that rc52 & RD were the same person..."
well, I'm not gonna deny it...

OMGoodness, too much fun for a Friday!
