Glen finds love on Monday’s finale of The Littlest Groom on Fox. He chooses Mika, who is of short stature, over average-height Zoe.
It’s no surprise he picks the Michelle Branch look-alike — she is the prettiest of the shorter women, fun-loving and charming. Mika wins over Glen on their private yacht date when she shows him that she received a fortune in a fortune cookie that reads: “A short stranger will enter your life.”
Because Mika’s the winner, she receives a 2-carat diamond ring, which Glen insists is neither an engagement nor a promise ring.
The charade is finally over on Fox’s My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance. Randi miraculously gets her entire family to show up for the ceremony, despite her siblings’ anger. Once the couple gets to the I do’s, Steve presents the show’s last twist and refuses to get married. The embarrassed Coys immediately leave the ceremony and insist on going home, but producers convince them to let Randi and Steve explain. (To win the money, I think Randi should have had to convince the family to return to the ceremony for the explanation.)
So Randi tells her family the wedding is all a plot to win money, which makes her family even more embarrassed. Then Steve admits he’s really an actor, which makes Randi the most embarrassed. And the real Steve explains the point of the show is not to embarrass the Coy family or Randi, but to show “the love of a family and the bond that keeps them together,” as he passes out $500,000 to Randi and $500,000 to her family.
What a joke! The show has nothing to do with family, morals or values. Randi lies to her family and loses her job for the cash.
What kind of a terrible setup is that with Fredo on the submarine on Average Joe 2: Hawaii? Brian should be sent out on the sub with Fredo to see Larissa making out with hottie Jim, too. What Fredo sees through the periscope makes him so angry, he leaves Larissa a note and hits the road. And Larissa seems to barely care! At the elimination ceremony Fredo doesn’t attend, she says, “He was the one I was going to eliminate anyway.” How obnoxious.
The finale airs at 10 p.m. Monday on WPTV-Ch. 5, WTVJ-Ch. 6.
