“No, Rick, ditch the GYM rat, pick the MALL rat!!!”
He never listens…

I don’t give the marriage long - it is based on utter bizarreness. I think I saw Darva utter “Yikes!” right before she said her vows, like it hadn’t really sunk in what she was going to do before then. How can such a thing survive when it started under such weird cicumstances?
I have to say, like I did on the other thread, that I am surprised by everyone’s insulting remarks about “the bride”. No, she wasn’t the youngest there - but did you see how old the groom was? He is no spring chicken - 40-something. She certainly looked younger than him - so why the comments about how “old” she is? It’s relative. (Oh, and she wasn’t the oldest “contestant” - there were some women in their 40s among the 50, and I believe that she was listed as being in her late 30s.) She wasn’t the most gorgeous one there either, but she was attractive, if a little too skinny, and a little too tanned. But I guess this guy likes that in a woman.
Frankly, I was quite appalled that there were 19 year-olds among the 50 prospective brides, since it is obvious this guy is no kid. It would have been creepy if he had married a 19 year old (or someone in their early 20s), at least in my opinion. There would have been such an age disparity there. At least with Darva that was not an element.
I heard a news report on the radio this morning that shed a little light on his choice. Turns out he got to read bios of all the women beforehand. There also must’ve been a question section - this woman was the only one out of the 50 to answer all three hockey-related questions correctly. (He played hockey in college and must be a big fan).
His mother stated that he already knew he was going to pick her before the show started.
The local tabloid had this article today: Word of warning for the bride
It doesn’t paint a very flattering picture of the guy…
