Hmmmm

I just do not think it was fair to smother one couple with so many more gifts then the others.  These couples all needed some assistance with their own self esteem and making one couple win so much more gifts, in my mind, was not fair.  The other couples could feel less not more confidence because they were not winners.  Also why did they give such a great runner up gift when finally the blue couple won the tango.  It seemed like the yellow couple won even when they lost the challenge. 
 I somewhat agree...however, I think it's silly to give these couples gifts to begin with.  Will they even appreciate them? I understand that they put themselves out there on national television, but they aren't even nice to each other and they are winning trips, etc. The only thing I feel they should be winning is counseling...but that's just me :)

I was looking foward to watching this show because it looked interesting, and I thought I could learn something about my own marraige.  I was very dissapointed that the whole show was about winning prizes.  I was even more upset when I saw these extravagant prizes that were won by people who are behaving so poorly in their marraige.  It was a nice thought, but I agree that the prizes could have been distributed more evenly.  I'm not even sure that these gifts will help the situation.  Trust is a very hard thing to gain back from your partner.
