LIBBY INTERVIEWS...
DARVA CONGER
Libby
First
off, I'm surprised at all the negative attention from the
press. A sweet kid like you, maybe a little long in the tooth--you
just wanted a husband, you took the only route available for
you to get one--why is the media all over you?
Darva
I'd like to start with marriage has never been a goal in my life--I never
pictured myself walking down the aisle.
Libby
Oh,
you poor kid that's so sad. There is someone for everyone! You're not bad
looking, you're kind of cute in a plain Jane kind of way. Why do you have
such low self esteem? Your mother Susan Harrison was in the Sweet Smell
of Success, but then she went crazy or got old am I right? Do you think
the low self-esteem comes from her? Or is it your big nose?
Darva
...I don't think I've got a big nose.
Libby
No,
of course you don't dear. It's probably your age.
Darva
I
wouldn't say that. I've got terrific self-esteem I am who I am and....
Libby
That
moment must have been a moment of triumph, a real "told you so"
moment. Little Darva Conga doing something no one dreamed was possible. Little
Darva found a husband!! You must have been ecstatic.
Darva
Actually
no, it was awful, I think that I knew the minute that he kissed me in such
an inappropriate manner on national television that he was not the kind of
person I wanted to be associated with. Those feelings intensified with further
contact with him.
Libby
Oh,
you poor sheltered kid. No one likes kissing!! It's something you do to get
a house kids and maybe if you're lucky an SUV. Poor Ricky must have been crushed.
Darva
He
took the thing seriously, he kept talking about how he hoped we would fall
in love with each other. I just cried.
I
told him the minute we landed in Barbados that this is not working for me.
"I don't have these feelings for you. I need to let you know right up front.
I don't want to lead you on. We can have a friendly relationship, we can have
a good time on this trip. I'm not going unless Cheryl ( the chaperone) goes
the rest of the trip. And I want separate cabins, separate rooms. If you'd
like to do that, it's a great cruise, we'll have a good time."
He said, "Well, why were you on the show?"
"With
all due respect, you picked me. I didn't pick you."
