Would have bet the house on Erika

So, after the first episode I was making fun of her on Twitter, calling her out for having a fake nose. She ten contacted me and showed me photos of her at age twelve with the same face. I felt embarassed about it, but she's been very nice to me ever since.

As the weeks rolled on it seemed obvious that she would win. BUT... she always was nice to people on HIDDEN CAMERA, and the judges read that as being fake! Maybe they should have called the show Double Standard.

Yes I agree. Per the criteria they were trying to reach, she should have been the winner. The ONLY thing she didn't pass was peeking at her card (big whoop), & talking about someone (which is a natural human thing to do. EVERY one does it!!! I'm sure Ms. Minillo has done it plenty of times). I don't understand how they thought she wasn't genuine... she was genuinely nice to every one even when she didn't know she was being caught on tape!!!!!

I agree, fairly small infraction. Taylor isn't even a nice person, as we saw over his blow up over his "$200 jeans" Kinda pissed me off, by the way. Living in these economic times and he's talking about throwing away $200 on jeans?

You and me both! I watched it last season, and the girl who won then passed every hidden challenge, so that's what I thought the judges were basing it on. The only one Erika failed was peeking at the questions in the elevator. The other footage was her talking about the other contestants, which I didn't think was that bad because Liz was a total nut job!

didn't Taylor do some trash talking to anyways? Or at least I recall him arguing with Liz at some point. Either way, he failed a lot more of the hidden challenges. He was laughing at a woman being called fat by her mother on the wedding challenge? Don't get me wrong, I like Taylor and am glad he made it to the final (particularly because I don't think Craig should of been there, glad he at least was third), but I think Erika should of been first, Taylor would of been good second.

I just don't trust Taylor, he seems like a stuck up jock to me, like the guy that went around giving nerdy kids wedgies & swirlies back in High school. I think they just wanted this year's winner to be a man.

I thought Erika should have won. She was always so sweet. She just peaked at her cards. What seems lame is that Liz was a total bitch but the judges act like no one can react to it??? They have to be doormats? I think it would have been more fake of Erika to pretend she liked people she didn't.

It's ridiculous that they called Erika fake - she had nothing to gain from being nice to the woman with the engagement ring or the wedding dress woman, and she was still incredibly nice to them.

Meanwhile, Taylor laughed at the wedding dress woman and bitched about Liz just as much as Erika, so she definitely came out on top in my books.
