either i’m just getting into the swing of things, or the shows are getting better. i downloaded and watched the 3rd and 4th episodes of transamerican love story and i really enjoyed them. the third episode had the men go to the beach and work out with a marine dude, while calpernia watched through binoculars from a yacht. now that’s something i could sink my eyes into. then the guys were divided into 3 teams, assigned a rubber boat, and they raced to the yacht. the winners got to spend a little time with callie.
the fourth episode, calpernia provided a little entertainment first while the guys watched, and then it was the guy’s turn. both revealing engagements.
i’ll say now, and for the record, i predicted who would stay and who would go, even down to the order. and i’ll even venture to say that the eventual winner will be shawn. i like him because he seems to fit in with calpernia’s friends and her nightlife buddies, he’s a real down to earth kind of guy, and he’s tall. my second choice is jim, who also fits in. now mike, who has the hottest body by far, just doesn’t seem to offer the intellectual acumen that i personally look for in a man. and while i see what calpernia sees in mark, who also is extremely hot - well, he’s a bit of a chauvinist, and can’t be over 5′6″. and i’m all about the height.
needless to say, if my hubby were in this show, he’d beat them all hands down 
Yes, Shawn, definitely. I think you’ve got this whole thing nailed.

ALL those reality shows get better after the first couple of episodes.
And I am totally with you on the height thing. Gimme a man who makes me crane my neck and I am happy.

i feel your pain, felix. it seems many of us older gals are victims of our upbringing. my niece married a man shorter than her, and my nephew married a woman taller than him. i think that speaks to a wiser, more progressive younger generation. so there is hope.
unfortunately for me, i am uncomfortable with a man shorter than me. my hubby is about a half inch taller than me, so i can’t wear heels (but that’s ok, they make my back hurt anyway). and i have dated men shorter than me, but it never seemed to work out.
as far as the next show is concerned, i think the next man to leave will be mark, followed by mike, followed by jim (for politically correct reasons - we can’t have the other trans person as anything less than first runner up). but i won’t be terribly surprised if she choses mike as her finalist. he does have a hot body, after all.
