Whose idea was the Tournament of Rosen? I’m starting to think that Adam cooked up this scam as a way to find a writer for the show, and you’re just the carrot on a stick. I bet the “date” ends up being the winner and the chaperones brainstorming sketch ideas.
If you’ve got 2 guys you like on 1 side of your bracket and 2 you aren’t too keen about on the other side, tell Adam you need to re-seed your bracket. This is a legitimate tool used in actualy sports tournaments (although not the NCAA). He’ll appreciate your sports knowledge if you make this argument.

Alison, haven’t heard today’s episode yet. I’ll grab it tonight.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re not going to find the love of your life in the Tournament of Rosen. It seems like The Weez and whomever picked guys based on who’d be most amusing, not best for you. I end up feeling like your stuck with Dork A vs. Dork B every day.
Was it wrong that I kept moving from side to side while watching this in an ultimately vain (not to mention ridiculous) attempt to get the “infinite mirror reflection” view that was prompted by the door in the background?
I feel robbed that the entry time frame for the Tournament of Rosen was so short. I heard about it one time and then it was cut off the following day. Since we know you won’t find love with this batch of losers, can we expect another Tournament to follow sometime in ’11 for us losers that missed the deadline?
I’ve never seen relationships between sisters that resembled that old Hallmark Card ad…. they’ve always been complicated, but in the end, worth the difficulties.
Your way too hot for any of the schmoes in the tournament of roses. The guys either sounds too nerdy or too dumb jock for you. If you were closer to my town I would have thrown my hat in the ring.
I just hope your chaperone knows how to scrap in case your date is a nutbar.
Well, that was sort of pointless. I still love you but a little less now. In these poor showings I believe a nip slip is an adequate substitution for content.
It doesn’t seem liked the guys were seeded properly. The highest seed goes against the lowest seed, but there were times when it seemed like a 16 was going against another 16 (worst versus worst, for the sports impaired), while a 1 was going against a 1 (best versus best).
If I am not mistaken I think you spoke about that particular issue on your ustream show. It does make it more interesting, and also don’t think you should beat yourself up. Sometimes people over react/feel really entitled because it’s their fill in the blank event that everyone should care about without limits.
Great show today. I agree with Geoff, I like hearing personal B.S., like the story about your sister, it makes you seem more “real.” And I have to say, I agreed with the choice you made in the bracket, with the first two poems. The Black dude’s poem was all about “I’m Black, and you’re White, wouldn’t it be funny if we started dating?!?”, while the other dude had worked in so much stuff about the show, like Adam being late to your wedding, that you could tell he was a real fan. So I would have picked him too, and I’m Black (& if I knew you were open to that, and I wasn’t broke, I would have totally signed up for the Tournament).
I’m new to the cult of Rosen. Love the podcast but only discovered your other work last week. Even though you don’t get around to doing the ustreams show as often anymore, thanks for continuing to do these vlogs for your longtime fans. You just continue to pile on the evidence that will eventually force us to conclude that you sure are one neat broad.

Whatever happened to okcupid? I’ve heard good things about it, a friend of mine found a charming old man from a foreign country looking “for happy marrying”.

You don’t have to marry these guys. You’re doing that thing that some people do (myself included) where we get all worked up about some guy or some girl and are discouraged because they won’t be “the one” or something like it, and so we just think, to hell with the whole thing. One might say that’s an elaborate defense mechanism, but I don’t care to get into that.
Relax. If they are good people, knowing them will make your life better.

How come there was no “way too old for you” match-up? I think I would have excelled there.

FYI – you sharing your personal BS makes the show much more interesting.
Do you have any single sisters around the age of 24? Bonus points if they are as beautiful as you Alison.

Oh well. Good luck with it anyway.
I find it sad that I will never find a girl like you Alison. Good luck in your future date
I love that your dog checks the expiration date on the food
You could just go out with the winner, but still go out with the one you actually like later. Because that’s what playas do.

Haha, I had my hand on the volume knob and was adjusting it up and down to compensate for the radical swings in your vocal volume.
