Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I was on the boards at NBC last season...and there were rumors that Marty and Amy had hooked up. (He was married).. He' s since divorced his wife and proposed to Amy on the reunion show.. They tried to make a big deal about it.. But many of us... (me included) thought it was horrible that they would humiliate Marty's first wife. I remember when they did family background pieces via video that his wife was sharing that she and Marty would be able to start their family. Of course there may have been some underlying issues to begin with.. we'll never know.. But I personally think it was humiliating to have Marty's wife come onto the show last year while at the same time he was having an affair (confirmed by the other contestants) and then obviously a divorce over the issue.. and a very public proposal on the reunion show.

I'm sure alot of viewers weren't aware of that.. Everyone loves a good love story.. But Marty was a rat... Things happen but he didn't have to rub his ex wifes nose in it.. Who knows whether their divorce is even final yet?

Some of the posters at the other forum think Marty orchestrated the public proposal to boost his and Amy's new found Personal training business. I'm sure the publicity didn't hurt... except to those who find the way he treated his first wife was in very poor form. I'm sure Amy has some fault in it.. She should have known better than to get involved with a married man.. But at least she can go into this with her eyes wide open.. Once a cheater, always a cheater.. (maybe not really.... but I sure think that trust issue could be broken with little effort..)

The difference with Matt and Suzy's story...they were both single..and it slowly evolved in a natural way. I hear they cut the part where they came out on the stage. They weren't weighed. Their baby was born in June and I'm not sure when this show was actually taped. Hopefully they don't regain their weight.

I think the show concentrated mainly on those who've kept a substantial amount of weight off. Alot was edited out... to allow time for the Amy and Marty proposal 'schtick'.... But I thought even both of them had regained a bit..

Believe me, you didn't miss much.

You might enjoy the forum over there! Let me know if you want a link... You should be able to find it pretty easily.

They did show a couple clips about the new contestants and I did see the older gentleman you are referring to. There were several compelling stories.. Looking forward to tonight!
