Is Robert Really a Prize?

I said this several times, he really isn't that handsome. In the first episode, when he went undercover, it was the dumbest thing I ever saw because he REALLY didn't stand out from the guys.

Okay, he got abs, but his features are boring, the grey hair is a turn off. He doesn't have anything special really.

I don't know if I would even pick him up at a bar.



As for the guys, from everyone constantly finding reasons to leave, I don't think anyone of them care about him. Robbie even claimed he asked Robert to send him home.

And as for the guys - are they really into him? I don't get that from anyone. Chad and Brandon are the only one that talk about feelings, but Brandon seems (based on Robbie's statement) that he just want to win period regardless of Robert. And Chad was just in love with the idea of being in love.
Hence, why he left when he realized the crappy prize.



Assume that most of the guys basically want their 15 minutes of fame and possibly maybe try and get some work like an acting career or something out of it.

Do you think Robert would still be a prize if he had an average or small endowment?

When I read this the first thing that came to mind was the prize in the Cracker Jack box.

He's handsome by most standards and he's got a great athletic body. But his personality is flat, uninteresting and he comes across as vapid and vain. The most attractive people are those who still don't know they are attractive or those who still feel insecure about themselves. People who don't take their looks for granted and who don't expect everyone to look at them when they enter a room. Robert has no charisma. He's a walking refrigerator who thinks highly of himself and to me, it's a big turn off.
I don't care about his past as an escort, at
least that could make him more human. But he's definitely not as charming as most of the remaining contestants.

I think Robert is a prize. He was most appealing when he looked distraught as Chad walked out as if it bothered him that he had hurt Chad. The lack of a personality so many refer to is just what the producers wanted. They are selling a monogamous fantasy that Prince Charming will live happily ever after with his chosen one. If Robert had too much personality he would always draw a crowd and would be more likely to cheat.

He looks like a sea captain and has the personality of a morphine abuser.

I watched the marathon Logo ran of this over the weekend. I didn't understand how anyone would want to be in a relationship with him, let alone be around him for extended periods.

I feel like he's one of those people who was so pretty when he was young that he never had to develop a personality and now he's an adult and has no idea of how to interact with people. He comes off as an alien trying to be a person, but has only learned human interaction by watching television. It's uncomfortable to watch him. He always seems to be mildly delayed in his response to things or in his realization that it's his turn to contribute to an interaction or conversation. It's like he's waiting for a signal or something to know when to go.
