hi there mr producer Mike well I must say I like the show the guys are dumb to me. The guys pick the must ugly girl or the must dumbness, no job, and liar, Vienna may be painting a pretty picture to jake but she not the person he think believe me, so in order to make Ali a different at the end let her pick from three guys vice two guys change the over night dates a little.
The young man that was sent home this week that had lost his wife,I would like to see if its possible to somehow introduce him to my daughter who also lost her husband.I have never did anything like this before but my heart id leading me to see if this is possible.My daughter is a beautiful young women that is looking for someone to share her life with.She could also be a beautiful bachlorette.
