Perky, Meet your TUESDAY Groom...REVEALED

Tuesday Groom REVEALED

Batman UNMASKED

The story

OFFICALLY ELIMINATED   CLICK TABS ABOVE FOR UPDATED VIDEO & AUDIO!   Perky got to meet Spiderman yesterday and had a nice chat with him on the phone last night. We're not sure if that's going anywhere, but there are more grooms to come.   Today, she met Batman. He's a 23 yea Check out the full story.
  • Dont call his best man Robin...Cmon
  • Ok, sounds nice to a degree. Does he have a job lined up for when he graduates? What is his grade point average at this point? What are his normal habits for the evening and weekends? Does he frequent bars and strip joints? If it wasn't for his mom, would he spend those 2 days in church, or does he go regularly? What kind of car does he drive, and what is his favorite article of clothing, and where does he shop? What sports does he like, and is he involved in an sports? Lots of things that I would want to know.

    Well..from reading about this one i wouldnt tell her to RUN! LOL but there is alot of things that need to be clerified. Does he have a job now? Or what is he going to do when he graduates? So, does he live with his mom? Does he support himself? And what kindof things did he do to get into that Frat...Wasnt there an initiation? Other than those questions ....he sounds ok...Except he is REALLY tall...but that is ok.

    PICK BATMAN!!!!!!!! Everyone else is going to suck.
  • This guy bothers me to some degree. How ghas he been putting him self through college? Does he have student loans that need to be paid off? It is quite posible he is using perky and the show as a means to get money and support him after graduation, or does he see this as a way to get a job in communications. To tell you the truth this guy's answers were to good. Where does he live now? Does he have any idea what the real world is like, out from under his free life style. He has no work record, so who knows what kind of a responsible person he will be. I do not see, nor did I hear this morning of any type of work he has done in the last 23 years. Is he a sponge and is going to count on his parents and grandparents, along with Perky to carry him through life after his free ride of the first year is up? Most of all what about this one time long term relation he had? Is he going to run back to her if she ask him to? He has more history with her than Perky. The guy just seems like he has a lot of growing up to do yet. I believe that if Perky picks this guy she is going to have a free loader on her hands since this is the life style he is acustom to. SORRY PERKY, I think this guy is bad news, and for his great answers, remember he has been a life time student and know how to get the right answers for a test.
  • Offensive comment? Just an idea.... 740 Days ago
    Maybe we could get a groom or two who actually has a JOB? Whoever is choosing these grooms is really doing a poor job, in my opinion. Perky specifically said she would like a guy who already has a career established. I don't think that's asking for too much. Neither of the first two even have full-time jobs, as far as I can tell. Monday's groom was all around scary. Tuesday's groom seemed nice enough, but still, he doesn't appear to have a job. And he's just getting ready to graduate college? That probably means lots of school loans, debt, etc.

    If I were Perky, I'd be really disappointed in the choices thus far. It's not like she's asking for that much. She wants a man with a job, preferably no kids, no debt, and ready to settle down. WHY are we giving her the opposite to choose from?

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's no wedding, considering the potential grooms thus far.

    COME ON CORNBREAD! Surely you can do better than this!
  • Being a recent college grad myself, I think this guy sounds great! Grounded, not full of himself, and ready to settle down with the right girl. Sure he might have some college debt, but who doesnt these days? In my opinion, it is really difficult to find a guy at this age who A) has a job AND is nice and B) is ready to settle down. I think Batman sounds like a good catch and Perky should seriously consider giving him the chance to add excitement and joy to her life!
  • Sounds like a possibility. Very quick and witty and sounds honest. I'm like some of the others. . . I want to know how he earned money for school, what jobs has he worked in the past, who paid the beer bill and the fraternity dues. In general, I liked his voice and answers.
  • Offensive comment? batman's sister 740 Days ago
    of course he has a job! he has had a job since he was 15 1/2 years old. he moved back home recently so he could work a little less and really focus on finishing school on a strong note. he drives a 2002 chevy malibu that his buddies make fun of for being an old person car, but he bought it because he got a great deal and it only had 20,000 miles on it. that was a responsible decision, no? our grandparents cut his hair because they're getting older (in their 80's) and it makes them feel useful to be able to help him out. believe me, the haircut doesn't always come out right! he's had to take a couple of emergency trips to the salon immeadiately after leaving their house. but he keeps going back because it makes them happy. he has some student loans, but nothing serious...i'd guess around 5,000 or so. that's nothing these days.
    he's a great catch and i'm not just saying that cause i'm his sister. perky would be lucky to wind up with him!!
  • Offensive comment? Just an idea... 740 Days ago
    Batman's Sister,

    That's very sweet about your grandparents. I'm not doubting that your brother is a nice guy. He sounded very nice. I just don't remember him saying what his current job is. Or maybe I missed it.

    I just think whoever Perky marries needs to have an established career. If they were just going to date, that's one thing. No problems there. But to marry someone in three weeks (?!? is that right ?!?!) who is still going to college, and doesn't have a firm plan for his future scares me.
  • Offensive comment? Friend of Perky 740 Days ago
    I think batman sounds ok..but there is still questions that need addressed. Like what communitcation he is planning to go into. Communication leaves the door wide open. And perky is a well successful woman and needs to know she is going to be taken care of. She already established a career and wants someone with the same qualities as she has. That is reasonable I think. There is nothing wrong with studen debt, I have some of my own as well. It is had to get yourself through school. I know the feeling, but she needs to feel secure when she gets married...the same way that she feels secure right now not being married. What kindof job is he looking towards? These are just simple questions.....Trying to help you out perky...Love ya girl
  • I hope Perky doesn't pick him!! I would love it if Cornbread would give some girls like me a shot at him. I can't remember when someone has been so honest and down to earth and has a good sense of humor. I love him!
  • Offensive comment? What are you all, three? 740 Days ago
    Having an opinon on this guy is fine. I think he was an appropriate pick for perky. Maybe not the best, but opinions are what these blogs are for. But why don't you wait until Friday before you start assuming all the guys they picked are gonna suck? Your patience level is as bad as my 3 year old.
  • There's to many haters out there!! Batman - Keep on keepin on!!
  • I guess we WILL have to wait until Friday to see the final 'pickins'. But I think it would make more sense to have a terrific guy go first and then worry about the quality being slightly tarnished than to start with 'rust'.

    And regarding the debt, I would be more concern about his 'other' personal debt like crdeit cards and other unsecured laons than she can definitely inherit once they become married. But regarding student loan debt (like Stafford loans), it does not become her debt too when they are married. If they get divorced, he will take his student loan debt with him!!!
  • Offensive comment? Friend of perky 740 Days ago
    Just so everyone knows, I am not here to bash anyone...I am just trying to think of questions for perky to ask. Maybe some questions that might slip her mind. I think Batman has great potential and I praise him for wanting to not work so much and focus on school. He is fortunate cause not everyone who goes to school can do such a thing. Just looking out for perky's interest...and trying to get a feel of these guys just like everyone else, Including perky...Love ya Perky..youre my girl!!!!!!
  • I would sure ask what he plans on doing when he gets out of college. Is he committed to finding a job in St. Louis? Lots of new grads have to relocated to find a job.
  • NOW IT TAKES A WISE OLE OWL TO HANG OUT IN THE EVENING HOURS. CANT BE ALL THAT BAD WITH INTEREST IN COMMUNICATIONS. IF PERKY IS LOOKING FOR RADIO HOOK-UPS - THEN SHE JUST MIGHT FIND ONE IN THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPT. WE WISH ALLTHE BEST WHATEVER THE DECISION MAY POSSIBLY BE FOR THE FUTURE. GOOD JOB ON ANSWERING QUESTIONS - GOOD LUCK ON THE PHONE THIS EVENING. WE ARE ROOTING FOR ALL OF YOU.
  • "opinions are what these blogs are for"

    You're right. That's why I stated my opinion. Thank you for yours.
  • I cant tell you how anxious I am for you 'Perky'. More and more by the groom. (By the way I cant tell you how much that nickname Perky irritates me.) Its sounds like it was given by Flavor Flav. Anyways, I've filled out the application twice and havent submitted it, but if the choices dont improve I will be forced to get over my fear of this "experiment". -26 and single hoping you find what I havent!
  • Offensive comment? Tuesday BRIDE 740 Days ago
    It's about time guys start getting on here talking. Adam just do it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Beside you might actually get to find out PERKY's REAL name! You never know.
  • I missed today's interview with Batman. When will they have a link to his video/audio posted?
  • Cornbread I want to know why Adam wasn't selected as he sounds more mature and sounds like he is looking for the same as she is? And where in the world did Craig disappear to, the 26 year old that was in the military but wanted to get his parents approval before his application was put in? He sounded so sincere and caring and as if he fell in love with her voice! Batman sounds as if he needs to grow up yet and drinks way too much and not very career oriented......communications? NOT! Come on Cornbread I am so disappointed in your choices of grooms so far.......let's hope there are better men coming up this week. Because if they are all like Monday and Tuesday you might as well pick out 5 more grooms to choose from or call the wedding off!
  • It sounds to me like I left everyone hanging as I lost phone service. I had to go to work directly after that. I would love to comment more but I want to hear the entire interview. Im looking out for the best interest of perky, so far Batman has my attention and would love for him to set back on my porch.

  • Offensive comment? NOLA friend of Batman 740 Days ago
    Batman is terrible at spades, but other than that he is an all around good guy.

  • I would like to hear someone ask about his relationship with his mother. I found out after I got married that for better or worse, the mother will have an affect on your life in either a good way, or a bad way.
  • Offensive comment? rooting for batman 740 Days ago
    batman sounds terrific!! it's refreshing to know a young man wants to concentrate on his studies and that mommy and daddy aren't footing the bill. sounds like a responsible guy. gotta love that!!
  • BATMAN DECLINE!! YOU HAVE TOO MUCH GOING FOR YOU TO GET MARRIED AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. RRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN
  • Offensive comment? Pat James - Cornbread Show 740 Days ago
    Due to some techinal issues, we won't be able to have any video of Tuesday up until Wednesday morning. Sorry for the delay! Also, be sure to listen in Wednesday morning in the 6am hour for highlights from Perky & Batman's "After Hours" phone call!
  • Hi Ms. Perky,

    Keep waiting! Remember you will have a total of FIVE grooms to pick from! And, I hope the choices continue to improve for your sake! Take Care!
  • I think Batman sounds great. I am tired of CB and everyone saying these guys are not good enough for perky. While we have met and picked her already these guys are going to have to be an equal part of this equasion to make this work. While we heard Perky isn't perfect from the lie detector test it is impossible to pick a perfect goom. She has things the guys need to get use to also like her age, her close over protective family and I think this guy sounds great. What more do you want he is almost done with school and trying to do good things with his life. I think people need to let up on the grooms this is who gets along with perky not everyone else. My question for batman is where did you grow up and what area do you live in now? Good luck and I think you sound very mature and I would think you family is very proud of you.
  • Offensive comment? Friend of Perky 740 Days ago
    I dont have a prob with batman..he sounds ok..but I am really hoping cb gives us something to pick from. Not just one okay one..and the rest duds. I think perky should have someone equivilant to her. Career, stable life, good family, and the spontaneous spark she brings to everyone's life she touches. I think she needs a MAN! and that is what she likes. SO lets give her what she wants! Something to choose from! I dont want to see her settle!Not saying anything bad about the first 2..just give her more to choose from.
  • Offensive comment? Friend of Perky 740 Days ago
    To UNCLE PERKY....I love hearing you on there...You crack me up! I love that everyone in the fam is supporting her..you guys mean the world to her. Keep on keepin on! LOL
  • Offensive comment? Perky supporter 740 Days ago
    To the Adam guy...what have you got to lose? Submit your app....you might find what you are looking for. Youre a man, youre not suppose to be scared..be couragous! Have Faith! Good luck to you!
  • Offensive comment? Perkys Sister :) 740 Days ago
    batman..outta the 2, he's my fav! he sounds fun! actually.. if she doesnt want him.....i'll take him.....!! just kidding!
  • How come the bride choices all got a silouette kind of shot and the guys so far are just getting symbols? Who are we really saying love is "blind" for? The guys or the girls? To me, it looks like the experiment is slanted toward the guys being able to get some sort of visual, while the bride gets the blindfold.
  • Video of Tuesday Groom "Batman" is now POSTED. Sorry for the delay!
  • Highlights from Perky & Batman's "Semi-Private Midnight Chat" is no posted. Click Audio tab at top of page.
  • Okay, after listening to the show yesterday, I went home and started thinking....the golf cart incident, well i know someone who did that. I definately know someone who is 6'8''. That person was also studying communications when I was going to school with him. After talking with my husband, I was sure it was him! I know him! He is awesome, he actually used to be my husband's fraternity brother! I had him in a few classes while at school. He is probably one of the funniest people I know. He is also a blast to hang out with! I haven't spoken to him in about a year, however after hearing him on the radio, I knew immediately that it was him. "Batman" is a very caring guy, he's the guy that will not only be your husband, but also your best friend. I wish him the best of luck. Perky, you would regret passing him up!
  • i take back what i said about spiderman , i think i'll wait til friday 2 decide although after hearing weds groom this morning it sounds like they have a lot in common like the loss of a parent it doesn't matter how old u r losing parent is devating i lost my parents when i was in my early 40's they died 4 wks apart! so perky and weds groom can relate 2 how the other 1 feels on holidays etc. so far i go for weds groom
  • I listened this morning and I'm still a fan of Tuesday's fan! Perky and Batman had such a cute phone call last night! He really seems like he's been thinking about the wedding a lot.

  • I have listended to all the conversations so far, and only batman seems to have things together. I would call him Big Game for the way he is stepping up to the plate...i think Perky would be lucky to have a guy like batman!!
  • What gambling problem?
  • i am listening 2 batman and perky on the phone call last nite it sounds like they like each other pretty much but i'm still waiting til friday to make an opion oh yeah he does have a parttime job, he also goes 2 school don't 4get

    Hey It's Personal. You can see the blurred image of the guys if you click on the video tab. We're trying to do something different for the guys. The girls didn't have names that lended themselves to logos, that's all. It's not a groom conspiracy! Gump

  • Perky you would be lucky to have a guy like Batman. He has a great personality and if you love to laugh, then he is definatly the one for you. For as much as he is funny he is also sincere, a hard worker, and a wonderful person to know. We're all pullin for ya Batman!!
  • This is so weird. I tried to give this an open minded thing, but I think this will end up so bad for Perky. This whole think is as bad as that fox show where everybody screws up their life for money.
  • batmans the best!!!
  • This contest is senseless. What kind of idiot marries someone sight unseen???
    Isn't marriage about an emotional and physical attachment?!! Drop out now BATMAN!! Perky's family is supporting this...doesn't that tell you something, man.
  • matt,
    So what exactly do you mean by that??
  • Offensive comment? A Woman with an Opinion 738 Days ago
    Matt,

    I totally agree with you. Marriage is about an emotional and physical attachment. You can not get to know someone well enough in a couple of weeks (just talking on the phone) to make a lifelong committment.

  • perky,
    i mean your family and you are NUTS!! do you really believe love is blind....you are going to require marriage counseling on your honeymoon....and then psych meds. GOOD LUCK!!
  • hey perky u were my fav from the get go and now batman is my fav, i have a good feelin about the two of u
  • LOVE HIM! LOVE HIM! LOVE HIM!!! Girl if you don't pick this guy you're crazy! He is so down to earth and easy going, and you could def hear your chemistry over the phone! Definatly my favorite so far!
  • Batman is by far the best groom for Perky. Laid back, good sense of humor, and ready to settle down with the right woman. Hang in there Batman you giant.
  • You posters with your personal attacks on Perky, her family, and the grooms (ie: MATT!) You make me sick to my stomach. How DARE you come on here and anonymously attack someone who you don't even know. Feel free to say you disagree and why. Keep the name calling in your own grade school relationships...
  • Go Batman go!!!!!! Perky Girl, this is the man.
  • Perky,I think you should pick !!! BATMAN!!! He sounds like a good guy
  • Offensive comment? DIZZLE and CALI 737 Days ago
    Batman... You are the man! Perky would be lucky to have you. To everyone else out there: I've never met anyone that didn't like this guy. Funny and fun as can be. Quit giving this man trouble when you have no clue. Batman, you've got mine and Cali's support.
  • perky,
    ride the batmobile to symphony hall!!!

    Perky
    You are very young and beautiful girl, this is a great experience for you. No matter how you look at it, "Love is Blind" You never really know someone till you live with them. Just open your heart Perky, and let your heart tell you which one to pick. Close your eyes and feel with your sences. Your heart can tell you a lot. It doesn't matter how tall they are or how short they are. What matters is what is in their heart and what is in your heart. You can build a life with anyone if you work at it. But feeling with your heart is the one clue that will open the door to a new life for you and the young man that you pick.
    Good Luck gentlemen.... I know Perky will pick the man that her heart feels is the right man. By the way Perky.... I think Batman is a keeper. Hugs To ya....
  • I just finished listening to all the audio and video from this past week, as I've only been able to catch snipits here and there. Batman was definitely my favorite. He has a great personality and can make you laugh--and I've found that's one of the most important things in my marriage! I met my husband online 9 years ago, and I have to admit that I was not blown away by his looks at the time. But now, of course, I think he's one of the best looking men I've ever been with! It was his personality that attracted me to him. I hope that you've had a chance to get to know the two or three guys a little better...and I'm rooting for Batman on Monday! Good luck with this!
  • Okay, I like this guy...but as always, there are some things to think about. I'm sure you've already thought of most of them, but just remember that it's important to be on the same page as far was church, jobs, and commitment to making a marriage work.
    I really like Batman a whole bunch more than any other groom. One of the grooms had twenty girl friends????? For about three months each???? That's FIVE YEARS of changing girl friends every three months!!! I think this guy might have a little but of a commitment problem...be careful of that!

    Overall, I'm favoring Batman. Choose wisely and good luck!!!
  • I like him, but make sure hes not a big partier. Hes telling a lot of drinking stories, but stumbles on the relationship questions. Be careful
  • Offensive comment? Batman's Bartender 735 Days ago
    Perky - I have known Batman for well over a year and must let you know: this one is a CATCH! He is so nice and just a great time! His demeanor makes everyone around him at ease, and he handles himself with the utmost respect while he is at my bar. The way a guy acts at the bar says a LOT about their personality as a whole - trust me, I have seen it all. Batman comes in with his group of friends, and always leaves with his friends. I know a lot of people have been dissing on him regarding his "partying," but I can guarantee you he is always in control and handles himself extremely well. He really is an outstanding person and instantly makes friends everywhere he goes. You should totally pick Batman - you are the only thing he has talked about lately! He's completely digging you, and he's definitely a dreamy catch!
  • I want to thank everyone involved and who care about this social experiment "Is Love Blind-Cornbread's 2 Strangers and a Wedding". You've chosen the perfect bride in Perky and as this meeting of hearts grows it's cool to see our 22 year old country girl really find herself and grow as a person. To hear her tell me on the air that she's learning about herself during this process and growing as a person, makes me confident she will pick the right man and have a long happy marriage.

    I'm closing this blog as Perky moves on to the next Chapter in her real-life fairytale. I'm so excited as all of us will soon be able to see for the first time on TV this couple who will see each other for the first time at the altar.

    It's been a wild ride. See you at Powell Symphony Hall on the 26th.

    Cornbread
