Shannon, Wake Up! 2/12/01 Come on, you asked the question too, if not on the first episode certainly by the second. What in the world is she doing with him - for five years? Shannon, the pretty, successful attorney and Andy, the beady-eyed, unattractive, under-employed kayaker who obviously isn't as into the relationship as Shannon. The other couples seemed to go together pretty well. Billy and Mandy seemed equally crazy, Taheed and Ytassie seemed equally angry, Valerie and Kaya seemed equally, well, maybe not so much, but that's another story. They at least look alike - they're equally brunette.
But Shannon and Andy, go figure. And the "What in the world is she doing with this guy?" initial impression just deepened as the show progressed. Andy, with the possible exception of the now historic Taheed, was the first to forget he even had a girlfriend. When she was forced upon his conscience by the after hours tapes, he was not particularly miffed by the sight of his woman sitting in a hot tub with a man in her lap. He declared that Shannon appeared to be "going for it," and you could see the wheels turning in his head: "....if she's going for it, then I can .... where's Megan?"
And when confronted by the camera, he waxes philosophical about the possibility of Shannon hooking up with another guy. It went a little something like this: Everything is meant to be....if some other guy can make her happier than I can....my main priority is Shannon's happiness....I'm getting choked up just thinking about it." Choked up, was that it? Or had he just exhausted his limited vocabulary? Or was he just in a hurry to get the interview over with so he could go look for Megan?
And speaking of Megan, after Andy threw his little hissie when Kaya and Megan returned from their date in a blissful state, what happened to his love for her? The next day, when informed that the blocks were off, he went straight for Elizabeth. Well, who could blame him. As Andy put it, so eloquently, "She's hot as hell and she has this amazing, beautiful reef ass." Say what? "She's right out of the inside corner of every surfing magazine you've ever looked at." Okay, by this time we're really starting to wonder about Shannon. Five years. Five! And we're ready to strangle the guy after seeing him on a TV show that's only five episodes old.
So we cut over to Shannon, what's she been up to? Well, on her first date she was really impressed when the guy she was with (we forget who) paid for everything. It was almost like she hadn't had that experience in at least five years. Then there's Shannon sitting in the hot tub with a guy in her lap. There she is dancing the night away. Hugging Tom. The very Tom for whom all the ladies have the hots. And then there was the boy parade, when, in anticipation of one of them getting the boot, er, necklace, they declared their favorite among the ladies. Shannon got the lion's share of the votes. Whoa Shannon! She's been doing something right.
And then, the moment of truth. The much awaited, much anticipated and possibly overrated Tom was last to declare which of the three ladies was the love of his past couple of weeks. Shannon. So when it came time to choose the next date, the other two ladies put their hots on the back burner and allowed Shannon to choose Tom. Shannon has a butterflies-inducing time with Tom; he even bought her a special necklace. (One wonders if, over the past five years, Shannon has forgotten about the custom of gift-giving). All this causes a dilemma for Shannon, torn between her feelings for Andy and for Tom. Again, that nagging Why? surfaces. But at least she's asking herself the question. It's a start. And after five years of being in a self-induced coma, a start is a very big step.
