I like Tali because she's...

she seems so genuine. And very beautiful!!

Malissa acted like it was a competition and sought to find ways, not always sincere ways, to get advantages. For example, when she speaking his mother, she said how she couldn't "figure" his mother out. She was obviously trying to find whatever possible way to say the right things, which is really superficial.

Tali may have been more submissive and less of a go-getter, but she always tried to be sincere and honest. I liked that about her. In the end, the mother picked up on that, and kudos to her!

What I also liked is how this show, not only resulted with two big people in love with each other, but two big people of different races being in love with each other! I thought that was very unique, considering it's mainstream TV and many people still frown upon inter-racial dating.
