Darva and Rick Reunite

February 22 -- Just when you thought they were gone for good, one-time TV newlyweds Darva Conger and Rick Rockwell resurfaced on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday, which would have been one day after their first anniversary — had the hastily arranged marriage not ended in controversy and a swift annulment.

Conger, 35, and Rockwell, 43 — who tied the knot in front of a national television audience on Fox's ill-fated Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire? show — didn't mince any words in their first public meeting since the split.

"You and I are two people who will never mesh," Conger told her former groom. "[We'll] never see eye to eye. It was a bad TV show. That's all it was."

Early in the show, the blond Conger laid to rest her much-voiced animosity toward Rockwell. "I don't hold him responsible, I don't blame him, I'm not angry with him; it's not his fault," she said. "I apologize to him for things that should have not been said. I should never have been there; I should never have married and I'm so sorry I put myself in that position."

"Is this an apology?" King asked Conger. "Yes," she replied.

Rockwell just shrugged at Conger's peace offering. He claimed that his decision to pick Darva was "beyond physical. There were other women there I thought very attractive. Darva had a job, an education, a career, I thought [with her there would be] more of a chance of making something jell."

King's show was hardly without its tense moments between the non-lovebirds, who oddly fought like a couple who'd been married for life.

"I wanted very much to have a friendship after this," Conger stated. "I don't vilify you; I don't hate you. I did find it impossible because our personalities conflict so much." Rockwell replied, "I offered an olive branch. … I sent numerous messages. You did not respond."
