'...You were offered a bribe...'


Uh, WTF?

A *bribe* involves an offer to cheat, with an offer of something in *return.*
The woman simply saying "I'm going to tell her to vote for you" is NOT a bribe. I'm not even sure one can call that cheating.


I don't know if I've lived 10,000 days, or one day 10,000 times...

True, but whatever! It's all been pretty superficial from the start, lol...

Also, everyone that watches this show must be on the west coast because I didn't see any topics on who won until after it aired here, lol.

I wondered abuot that too! I live in the Central Time Zone and came to this board after the show ended at 10:00 pm and there was no discussion about who left last night.

Also, I couldn't hear what Michelle said to the florist. I thought she just laughed and didn't say she would do it. Also, was one of the weddings Michelle was chosen for supposed to be the friend of the florist, or was that all made up too?

She said "thank you" which means she accepted. But like someone else said it didn't seem clear whether it was a bribe or just a plain statement.

I'm sure that was fake.

"It's around 4 o'clock. We've been here since 12 o'clock. Five hours is like enough."

I totally agree. I'd think of it as more of a gift then a bribe. But I can see it going either way. If I were there I'd probably tell her to just let her friend pick whoever she wanted, but who can be sure what they'd really do.

I guess it would depend on what rules they were given. Maybe they were told they could only get votes from the bride and groom. Who knows. They are stupid anyway, most of them are from small towns and Vegas is known for being crazy. I wouldn't talk to some random guy on the street, it's just not safe, I also wouldn't go up to a guy who I thought was drunk, I would have gone out of earshot and called the cops or asked the bellman to do it.

I would have helped the woman with the dog, that's just common courtesy like holding a door for someone, but some go against common sense.

I agree with rd. Some of the challenges, I know I would have failed because I saw nothing wrong. The tour bus with the score card, was there anything wrong with looking at the score? Changing the sore was wrong but isn't the evaluation going to be read to them anyway? I didn't understand why some people where like, "I don't even wanna look at it". Touching it I understand but not that. And the "bribe", I don't think they know what it meant. I would c nothing wrong with sayin, "ya, plz tell her to vote for me!!" Would u say that to a random person?? I assumed the "spy" would say that cuz she was chatting wit them and decided that they were a fun person and deserved the vote. The contestant didn't say, " and I'll do this for u." So I view that as more as being nice than a trade/bribe.
