"It just goes to show you, you have to go with your first instinct.  If you were originally thinking A, then go with A.  It's good to know that sometimes your gut is right."

* Either MTV's most cynical or most idealistic show yet.

No, no, no! No conversation has been had, and I have no indication that he will.

Context: the premise of the show is that twenty single people on an island have to figure out who their computer-calculated "true match" is. So this one girl and guy had an instant connection upon meeting, but she then was attracted to this other dude, and it took her a while to get back to the original guy - who was her "true match" after all. So that's what she was saying in their "exit interview." Which reminded me of my back-and-forth-ing first semester of graduate school, when I essentially made the "wrong decision" on who I chose to pursue.

Sorry, that was very unclear.

Haha yeah, the theme was more just, words spoken and unspoken.
