Checking in with Matt and Shayne
Hey, I've been curious about these guys. Here's Matt and Shayne from this past season's The Bachelor. I don't know if I'm in love with the new short haircut, but nobody's asking me.
We watch a little retrospective of their relationship. Watching the final rose ceremony brings tears to Shayne's eyes.
Since the show ended, they've become engaged and now Matt is living in Los Angeles with Shayne. They put to rest some rumours - yes, they are still a couple. No, Matt did not propose to her in order to get a green card. As Matt points out, there are easier ways to secure a green card. Good point.
I don't know, they seem pretty happy together. Chris is right, they do act like an old married couple.


She barely smiled when they showed them...he was grinning ear to ear. It will never last. She will dump him.

Didn't watch that Bachelor show (they don't have a good record) -- glad I didn't. She looks like a bimbo. Sort of like Prince Charles and the Bimbo he's married to now.

Just tuned in to see the update for Matt and Shayne. I loved them together from the beginning and they look really happy. That was the best season. Best wishes to them and it's good to see that they laugh at the rumors...

hmmm..since this is ABCs blog I doubt you'll reveal which country Matt referred to in his segment when he said "it's not like I'm from XXXX... the United Kingdom is a GREAT country". What a tool.

Check out Shayne's body language. She is merely present for the show. No love there.....

I think Shane's having doubts about the whole thing

They look like they will make it! The body chemistry showed lots of love there.

I think Shayne is so cute and sweet. I'm glad Matt chose her- she seems sincere and really in love with him.

Where did Matt joke about where he was from when the green card comment came up?
Posted by: h82frown | July 07, 2008 at 07:37 PM
yea, I don't believe that they are still together, they were just odd.
Posted by: lesrmh | July 07, 2008 at 07:38 PM
I can't stand this... They are so boring and fake couple!
Posted by: Nelly09 | July 07, 2008 at 07:39 PM
What country did he say he's not from again?
Posted by: Trishelle | July 07, 2008 at 07:40 PM
Shayne's totally in this for the fame. She wants to be an actress, and this is her foot in the door. They will never get married. She is as bright as a small appliance bulb. (Then again, I question his overall smarts, too.)

United Kingdom.....She is so in it for her career...nothing else
Posted by: | July 07, 2008 at 07:43 PM
Shayne is so fake and clearly just wants the publicity
Posted by: | July 07, 2008 at 07:43 PM
where did he say he was NOT from? whatever it was, it seemed like an arrogant comment
Posted by: bebe | July 07, 2008 at 07:44 PM
Matt said he was from Khazistan (sp?)

I think they are in love and liked them together from the 1st show..

something was strange about them. did yu see when shayne said they were going traveling and Mat was like we are!?
Posted by: E.C | July 07, 2008 at 08:01 PM
Oh, absolutely not. They will never make it. There was so much tension between them. Whoever cited body language wasn't seeing what I saw -- Shayne hardly ever looked at him, and he had his arm around her but she had her arms and hands on HERSELF. Remember how in love with him she was? It wasn't there AT ALL tonite. Oh, no way is this going all the way. She's already disenchanted. You could read it all over her. Even Matt seemed a bit deflated. Didn't you just love it when Shayne said, "Oh I think we'll do some traveling ..." and Matt looked like he was hearing this for the first time. These two are not communicating. They're not going to make it. By the end of this show, she was rapping him on the head for something. I have no idea what you guys saw, but i absolutely did not see a couple in love. They're DOOMED, I tell you. Mark my words.

Well i think they are great together whether some of ya'll think so or not.
Posted by: Sarah | July 07, 2008 at 08:17 PM
The host asked the couple..."So what are your plans?..(for example when's the wedding?) There was an awkward silence. Shayne in the dippiest voice ever says...Probably some traveling. Matt looked terribly surprised by that answer as if he doesn't have a clue. Poor thing by the end of this week she'll probably be dating one of her friends that he so freely allows her to hang out with. What's up with this couple

Oh My GOSH all the haters in the house just stood up. It seems when two georgous people get together everyone wants to tear them down because they do not react how everyone thinks they should. Shane did cry as she watched the clip or was anyone really watching
Posted by: nonhater | July 07, 2008 at 08:48 PM
I agree with with kc. Shayne's body language is a little different than the final rose. She'll dump him soon.

Did anyone else notice that Shayne looked pregnant?
