Most of the couple's from the franchise, especially in the earlier days, would stay together for at least a year and a half-2 years before breaking up. Some even 3/4 years. And no marriage. If they encounter problems in their relationship eventually, it's common sense not to marry. JoJo is not working for accesshollywood btw. It was for extra, and it was only a if they need her/want her thing, since they also had Chad interview the DWTS couples too.

All IMO.

No. I argue that couples from the early days fizzled practically right away. With only a few exceptions: Byron/Mary, Charlie/Sarah, Trista/Ryan (obviously), and like Meredith/Ian who clocked a year. Otherwise early day relationships were DISMAL for this franchise. I'm talking months or even weeks, or like not at all. Pathetic. I'm not sure what has changed, but now there is much better success rates with couples usually at least trying for 6 months minimum, usually at least a year or longer. I suspect the shilling and the brand plays a role now. And maybe (if CH is to be believed ) the show has just gotten better at facilitating relationships and giving them more time via safe house visits or whatever... more laxed policy during the airing of the show, which is when and how many early couples imploded. IMO. 

I know she did a stint with Extra. I was being general and flip. Extra/Acess Hollywood. Tamatoe/Tahmato. IMO

Alanna wrote:I see them getting married and not even because of my own romantic notions of their coupledom. I think Baddy realizes how "valuable" a connection to her will and already is for him personally and professionally and there's no reason not to strengthen their relationship with marriage. Just my own cynical spin on a couple I seriously love to follow and fan for.

I don't know about a future divorce  Maybe as a middle age crisis thing for him though.
