   when will people realise that you can't make sweeping generalizations about every blonde woman who's in the acting profession. Just because there are fake people out there that have a similar look to Shayne, doesn't mean that because she looks like them, that she is therefore fake. Just like how a celeb 'lookalike' doesn't (usually) have the talents of the person they might impersonate/look like. Both Matt and his brother said that on first impressions (ie appearances) they had got Shayne all wrong and that once they got to know her they realized se was very different to their pre-conceived ideas (that are often generated by visual media) . I thought it was very revealing to see the footage of Shayne with her mom and sisters, who are clearly eccentric and nutty in a very refreshing way! they were very real and loving with eachother and actually you can see that despite seeming 'ditsy' they are actually very grounded intelligent women. It is quite common for people to adopt a certain image that they like and not realize that it can cause certain assumptions from other people. Had Shayne arrived on day one with black hair, no make-up and different clothes, she would have been the same person on the inside, but people such as 'ell' (see above comment) may well have had a different opinion of her. It is a fact that we all make assumptions and opinions about people within the first few seconds of seeing them and are often proved very wrong about those ifirst impressions. Give Matt some credit for knowing whether she was real or not. Shayne was being herself, regardless of whether that is good or not, whereas many of the girls in the house were being false, which is what got them eliminated. If you are yourself and get dumped then hey, the connection isn't there (and you'll mutually know that) but if you are fake and get to stay with someone, then either they'll figure it out or you've got to keep it up forever!

   Matt picked the perfect woman. She is sweet and loving, open, affectionate, charming and poised. She was my first choice from the beginning and I was so happy when he picked her! I did not like a thing about Chelsea, thought she had a horse-face, lacked class - she did not even bring a gift to Matt's parents, Shayne was raised with manners and class she came with a bottle of wine. What a sweet delightful woman. I wish them both all the best and wonderful and happy life. To all the haters in the world Shayne is lovely. She kept the peace in the house of hell, I can not imagine being in that situation. Hurray for them both Matt and Shayne forever.... I understand wanting some privacy, but I have grown to care for them and so I hope there are occasional updates. I would love to see them of A Wedding Story, so romantic....

   I think we project too much onto these girls. HK is right. The one who really is in the position to know the girls is Matt alone. There was so much that occurred off camera that viewers weren't privy to seeing. It was however obvious that Matt and Shayne had a great connection. That part was apparent in their body language and facial expressions. Shayne is charmingly playful about herself and I think she continually surprised Matt with her depth and openness. I don't think either has any illusions about having a perfect relationship from their recent comments but the fact that they agree on that makes them well suited for each other.
