Cable Guy felt wronged by our assessment of him and went ahead and corrected me in a PM. Thought you might all like to know what was really going on with him:
Hey,
I didn’t think it necessary to make a post reply about this. But i wanted to make something clear.
It’s not that I didn’t LIKE Daisy. The thing is, going into that show, you have to adopt an almost totally different mind state. One that I just couldn’t latch onto. And more importantly, if she is TRULY trying to find love, then it’s important to ME (as I stated on the show) that she is getting a true assessment of the man she’ll be getting at the end of the show. The guys in the house were cool and were decent people. But if she thinks she’s gonna have a guy who’s going to give her that level of attention once all of the other guys have been eliminated, she’s wrong. And wouldn’t it suck for HER if the version of the guy from the show is the version she falls in love with only to find out that that isn’t how he is on a daily basis?
So my attitude wasn’t one of disinterest in her. But more a disinterest in making good TV over trying to be the best man for the woman.
I’m not exactly sure whether I can actually believe a word of this, to be honest. “More a disinterest in making good TV,” says Randall. And yet he still agreed to go on a VH1 reality dating show? Randall really WOW-ed me with his perceptive view on reality… “wouldn’t it suck for HER if the version of the guy from the show is the version she falls in love with only to find out that that isn’t how he is on a daily basis?”
No shit, Sherlock. Look what happened to every single reality couple, right down to the Bachelorette. Nobody stays together, and none of the romance is real, mostly because real connections aren’t formed by winning paintball competitions.
All in all, Cable Guy was easily the worst fit for this show. Cable Guy/Randall seems relatively normal (although compared to Flipper who the hell knows what’s normal) in looks and personality. He is by no means a freak which implies that he will never have a career in reality television.
Randall: +1, Cable Guy: FATALITY.
NV/R,

p.s. Randall – feel free to come fix my cable any day…
I’m not sure I’m comfortable with people from reality TV shows existing in real life, especially not ones that realize how the central concept of the “love” show they were on is actually not love at all. Hold me Maria, I’m scurred.
funnnnnnnnnnny shit
