The Bachelor: 11th Edition

[Rosebud]

I know you all have been on pins and needles! ABC has announced the new bachelor.

From ABC.com (http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelor/index?pn=newbachelor):

ABC'S NEW BACHELOR IS A SINCERE, SEXY, SUCCESSFUL SELF-MADE MAN WHO MAY BE THE SERIES' HOTTEST GUY YET

The 11th Edition of ABC's Popular Romance Reality Series Will Premiere With a 90-Minute Special on Monday, September 24. Brad Womack, 34, a successful, self-made entrepreneur, has been selected to star in the 11th edition of ABC's popular romance reality series when it returns this fall on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 (9:30-11:00 p.m., ET), on ABC with a special 90-minute season premiere. It doesn't hurt that his sexy good looks make him The Bachelor's own "McSteamy."

For all his hard-earned accomplishments, there is one thing missing from Brad's life: He is ready to find his soul mate, settle down and have the family life he has so long desired. But Brad's heart, determination and commitment have already given him a good head start.

Currently residing in Austin, Texas, Brad co-owns four lucrative bars with his two brothers, Chad and Wesley, both of whom are married. With the success of these establishments, they are now looking to expand into other ventures and are in the early stages of developing a hotel. (continued)

And from People.com (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20050538,00.html):

Working with his brothers Wesley and Chad (his twin), Womack saved enough money to purchase his first drinking establishment in 2001. He now co-owns four bars with his brothers – both of whom are married – and resides in Austin. (He and the brothers are featured on the MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/chugginmonkey) for one of their bars, The Chuggin' Monkey.)

[JenniferEC]

He looks a lot like Lt. Andy Baldwin! I just hope he's not as cheesy!

[KK812]

lol I think the second pic is andy. ;)

[Rosebud]

lol I think the second pic is andy. ;)

I thought so too! But some board had it posted as a picture of the new guy and they do look a little alike. But I'm with you- I think it's Andy doing a triathalon.

[kugrrly]

OH NO another season of this? I am sure I will get sucked into this.

[Rosebud]

OH NO another season of this? I am sure I will get sucked into this.

Oh, but this time I hear it will really be a journey and two lovely people will find their soulmates (with a side of drama and hot tubs). Oh, and supposedly these are the best rose ceremonies EVER. How can you hate that? ;)

[j*east]

Ick. Between the tan, the moustache, and the weird eyebrows, he looks icky to me.

I'm sure I'll watch anyway...but I hope he shaves.

[jennylou]

Um, '08? Is that a typo? I can't wait that long!

[jesvet]

The middle pic is definitely Andy, it was on the superficial or perez or something a few weeks ago.

This guy looks more McCheesy than McSteamy! Those eyebrows!! eew.

[Natasha]

The FRC is in August? That doesn't make sense. I am sure I will be watching this season, too. I swear, I kill brain cells watching this... :p

[Rosebud]

Um, '08? Is that a typo? I can't wait that long!

LOL-- Is it too early to start blaming stupid mistakes like that on pregnancy brain? :p

I changed it. The show is this year.

[loving624]

I am sure I will get sucked in and watch just like every year. Oh the drama!

[ginastorm]

I get sucked in every single time. I'll be watching come September! I wonder how many of the ladies will have "model" as their occupation! There's always at least 3 or 4!

[TazLuv]

How can they say they find true love if the ring ceremony isn't even filmed for another week and a half? :confused:

I'm sure I'll get sucked in too - DH will be THRILLED! :D;)

[SMgal]

Thanks Rosebud for getting me excited about yet, another season of this show! I'm proud to admit, I feel no guilt about getting sucked in every year, nor about losing brain cells... I find The Bachelor to be pure entertainment! :D

[maplekitty]

I want another season of Bachelorette!!!

[Toonces]

LOL-- Is it too early to start blaming stupid mistakes like that on pregnancy brain? :p

It's never too late for that. ;) Thank you for starting this thread.

His promo pics are cheesey. His pics on MySpace are better. His bar looks like it attracts hoochies.

[SMgal]

His promo pics are cheesey. His pics on MySpace are better. His bar looks like it attracts hoochies.

And with all the bars he co owns, he's probably a serious alcoholic! :p

[Rosebud]

Are you excited?? :D

The Bachelor premieres tonight!!

[ginastorm]

I'll be watching!

[kugrrly]

Okay three minutes into the show, and I am already sick of hearing "The Sexiest Bachelor Ever."

[kugrrly]

The drunk girl who lost her "boobs" was a hoot! Her face during the rose ceremony was priceless.

[Chris~n~Jen]

"Well someone had some sort of time."
snort.. :rolleyes:
that's all I have to say about that.

[Rosebud]

Oh man, I totally forgot how late this show starts. I had my popcorn all ready to go.... and it's not on until 9:30. :mad:

It is REALLY sad that I care.

[Sand]

the editors had fun with making it look like he was going to give the bikini/swim girl the FI rose.
aack! edited to put it in white. forgot about the time diff! sorry girls.
subscribing...

[kugrrly]

Sand-They really did

[Rosebud]

Oh man... well, this show never fails to be cringe-worthy, does it?

Between the human pretzel, the girl walking around with "one boob" and all the drunken booty shaking, it seemed like a sorority party gone very, very awry.

BTW, Brad = NOT the hottest bachelor ever. Does anyone else think he looks just like Seann William Scott (aka Stifler)?

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/rosebud03_2006/Misc/scott.jpg

Looks like it's going to be a long season of catfights and hot tubbing.

[1_mommy]

haha, he kind of does

[skyblu]

Rosebud, totally! I couldn't put my finger on it, but *that* is who he looks like! Stifler!

He's so not the sexiest bachelor ever. Hello, Andrew Firestone! (was that his name?)

Last night was okay. I kind of miss the crazy excitement of the chick with the eggs that were close to their expiration date. Remember? A couple of seasons ago? She upped the ante for me on trainwreck-ness. There was just nothing quite as shocking last night.

I'm rooting for my homie from Argentina, although I have to say, I barely remember her. But hey, I'm from Argentina, too, so I feel like I have to like her. ;)

[TwnklToes80]

Some of the girls were very....interesting. Women choose to impress him by being...freakishly flexible, ultra slutty, drunk as hell and just plain corny (a la Hillary "I'm an RN so you'll have to let me check you vitals and see if your heart goes pitter patter for me" as he is literally PUSHING her away).

I just don't get it. But, the slutty girls will reign, as usual. Except at the very end when he surprises everyone and picks the sweet girl next door. Why are we always surprised by this?

And I agree with pp on his sexiness....eh, not so much. Andrew was WAY hotter....and as icky as it sounds to some, I'd rather have Byron. Something about being a professional bass fisher just makes me all hot and bothered :rolleyes:

[udsweetpea]

Hello, Andrew Firestone! (was that his name?)

Completely agree!!!!!!! I wonder if he's still single ;)

I thought the episode was quite amusing. I couldn't hold back my laughter when the girl showed Brad her webbed toes. How weird was that! I think Mallory could have gotten a one-on-one without jumping in the pool and asking him to take off his pants, but she still got a rose, so who knows!

I LOVED the boob girl. Was it Melissa? She just couldn't understand why she didn't get a rose. I would have loved to have seen her sober reaction to it last night.

[Rosebud]

Completely agree!!!!!!! I wonder if he's still single ;)

Nope. He's engaged to some "former model":

May 7, 2007
Andrew Firestone, star of ABC’s reality series The Bachelor season three, ended his bachelor days as he proposed to Serbian model Ivana Bozilovic. According to Us Weekly, Firestone and Bozilovic dated for two years prior to Bozilovic’s acceptance of his marriage proposal. She said, “[Firestone] is a lot more down-to-earth than I pictured him.” An engagement party has been scheduled in two weeks. source (http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelor/former-bachelor-star-andrew-fi-6248.aspx)

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/rosebud03_2006/gossip2/firestone.jpg

I agree that he was the hottest Bachelor, though!

[ginastorm]

Andrew's new fiance sure looks a lot like Jenn (the girl he chose on his season)!

[isign]

My fav scene last night was when he was laughing about the girl with the web toes. It was nice to see genuine ( I think) emotions. I think he's hot and I like that they aren't playing up his money too much.

[ivansbabe]

Ugh. I can't believe many of you thought Andrew was the hottest! Look at his wonky eye...I don't know, I just don't see it.

[udsweetpea]

Does anyone have a favorite girl so far? Do you see any of them making it all the way to the end?

[megc1]

I think my favorite girl so far is DeAnna (sp?). Bevin was my favorite girl in the beginning last season and we all know how she turned out!

[meatpie]

I was totally into the Andrew Firestone Bachelor days. Then came Bob and I lost interest. I think I'll make some time Monday nights for this show!

[maplekitty]

Yuck, you guys think Andrew was the hottest!? No way he was way too shmarmy!!



Okay, I was almost chocking on my water when that girl did the butt in his face move, OH MY GAWD!!

And when Brad was falling off his chair laughing at web-toe girl, I couldnt stop laughing....."Hi nice to meet you, look at my web toes!" Yah....charming, way to impress a guy!

So far I like:

the greek girl, DeAnna ( although she corrected him on the saying of her name and it sounded really biotchy, so...we'll see about her)
http://a.abc.com/media/primetime/bachelor/images/season/11/bios/deanna/detail/01.jpg

Jade, she seemed put together and classy (but looks like in previews she turns kinda biotchy too??)
http://a.abc.com/media/primetime/bachelor/images/season/11/bios/jade/detail/01.jpg

Michelle, the stripey-haired realtor who egged the cheerleader on
http://a.abc.com/media/primetime/bachelor/images/season/11/bios/michele/detail/01.jpg

And Erin was cute and sweet, so I'm rooting for her

[Rosebud]

Does anyone have a favorite girl so far? Do you see any of them making it all the way to the end?

If anyone really wants to overanalyze and has time to waste, I highly recommend the F.O.R.T. spoiler board (http://www.fansofrealitytv.com/forums/bachelor-spoilers-speculation/67713-bachelor-11-part-1-spoilers-screencap-analysis-only-spoilers-157.html). They post screen caps of the shows and previews and analyze them to death. They should have the final two nailed down any time now. For real.

[udsweetpea]

Wow, they sure do analyze the crap out of those screencaps on FORT.

[jesvet]

It's interesting how much we think different bachelors are attractive or not. Firestone was SO not my type. And though it is an unpopular opinion, but the one I thought was the most attractive (at least physically) was Aaron Buerge. It seems impossible that ALL 25 women just happen to find the Bachelor any one particular year super hot, kwim?

I wonder if Chris (the host) is bored with his job yet.

[udsweetpea]

I was just reading a theory on FORT and it totally made sense. When Brad first met Solisa when she came out of the limo, he asked where she was from like he had met her before. How weird is that.

[skyblu]

I was just reading a theory on FORT and it totally made sense. When Brad first met Solisa when she came out of the limo, he asked where she was from like he had met her before. How weird is that.

Oh, interesting analysis. To me, it sounded like he wanted to know what her ethnicity was. Because he said, "Where are you originally from?"

Maybe I'm projecting, because people ask me that all the time. And they don't want to hear me say "I live in Boston". They mean, "I can't pin your look/accent down. Are you Latina, Italian, Middle Eastern, or what?"

Because Solisa looks "ethnic", to me, that's exactly what he meant. I could be wrong though.

[udsweetpea]

Because Solisa looks "ethnic", to me, that's exactly what he meant. I could be wrong though.

That's what I thought too, but I thought the theory sounded interesting.

[framboise]

A couple of things cracked us up last night:

- The girls stayed at the same hotel where DH & I spent our wedding night, the Westlake Hyatt (http://westlake.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/rooms/room-description.jsp;jsessionid=ZGBPRUFSTNISJTQSNW2VAFO OCJWYYUP4)! We were looking at the rooms, and especially the fountain in the lobby & said "hey, wait a minute...."

- Brad's version of the webbed foot story was soooooo funny!

- Seeing his twin brother step in could be really amusing, or really lame. :p

[Sand]

Yea, the uncontrollable laughter talking about the webbed feet was hysterical. :D

I like Jade + Bettina

I can see Stiffler somewhat but I kept thinking Patrick Swayze

[udsweetpea]

ROFL! I've never laughed so hard out loud at work before... LOL!!!!

[TwnklToes80]

OMG, no comments on the train wreck that occurred last night??

Brad is just....stupid...honestly, he's not the brightest bachelor we've had. It almost seems like he is reading from cue cards or something when he talks to the girls.

Michelle--Did she think pulling a Bevin was going to get her to the final rose?? Come on girl, it's already been done...on a side note though, i was glad to see she didn't break anything or do any real harm to herself.

Jenni--I felt so bad for her. She really does seem genuinely sweet. I don't know why her bringing her modeling portfolio with her is such a big deal. The girls furthered her career by opening the damn book on camera. She didn't really have to do anything!!

Solisa--OK, I'm assuming everyone picked up on this...."I want a body shot" as she pushes out her chest, rubs salt on her cleavage and tries to feed brad a lime with her tounge. THEN, she pulls brad aside and says "I'm a christian, I like to stick to my morals and values" and he's like..ummm...ok. THEN, the girl takes off her top and goes streaking down the beach. THEN she wears a dress to the rose ceremony that barely covers her tatas. and he STILL picked her. WOW, can we say shallow?

Jade--I don't like her, she's trouble.


That's all the commentary I have. I'll be interested to see who makes it to the top.

[udsweetpea]

They cut out to commercial when he was talking about the kiss with McCarten. Did he say it was bad? She looks like a 5 year old BTW.

I actually like Jenni, and I can't stand trash talkers like Jade.

I'm thinking he only chose Solisa because none of the other girls were interesting, and the producers probably told him to keep her around for ratings.

I thought of Bevin too when Michelle fell down the stairs. You've got to be kidding me. She could have gotten a rose on her own merits.

I thought I was going to like Hillary, but damn, that girl has claws. I can't wait to see her emotional breakdown next week during their date.

Is it just me or is his twin brother hotter?

[megc1]

Brad did say the kiss with McCarten was bad. Haha-how embarassing.

Solisa drives me crazy. Loved her morals/values talk. Give me a break. I still can't believe he gave her a rose.

I am interested to see next week with his twin brother. I don't think they look that much alike. Maybe it is different in person?? I can't imagine them fooling anyone.

[Rosebud]

My favorite part of this episode was how a girl fell down the stairs and REALLY hurt herself, and the other girls react with catty comments and skepticism. "Wow, she has a concussion and she can call you?" :rolleyes:

What a bunch of b*tches.


I'll admit that I've been reading spoiler boards, but I think the girl who's our winner is getting a Jen Scheft edit-- as in way under the radar. Hmmmm...

eta: I must add that the one great thing about this season is that we've just seen episode 2 and there haven't yet been ANY tearful declarations of eternal love for Brad. Very unusual.

[ginastorm]

Brad's kiss with McCarten was just awkward. She said she was going to kiss him and then he started talking, I think to have her not kiss him. It was embarrassing to watch, yet I have to admit that thanks to Tivo, I hit rewind & got to watch it again!

I didn't think that Brad and his twin (Chad?) looked very much alike. Why couldn't we have twin Bachelors this season?!

Did you guys catch Chris Harrison on "Chelsea Lately"? He's hilarious. Chelsea made fun of him last week saying that Chris wanted Brad to pick him. She also asked him who his least favorite Bachlors/Bachlorettes were. To my surprise, he gave an answer, albeit with the disclaimer that he was basing his picks on how the ratings were. He said Jenn Schift didn't translate well with the audience and that her season was a disappointment. He also didn't care for Lorenzo's season, also saying that the ratings weren't too good.

[Sand]

I'll admit that I've been reading spoiler boards, but I think the girl who's our winner is getting a Jen Scheft edit-- as in way under the radar. Hmmmm...

I was wondering that... he picked Lips - I mean Kristy - right off the bat twice now, right? but they havent shown the two of them together very much.

[maplekitty]

wow, okay my predictions were WAY off! Jade is a biotch, and now erin and Michelle are gone! Atleast I'm still holding true to DeAnna

[tonic]

I thought it was hillarious when Brad said the kiss was bad. I had to rewind it to make sure I heard that right.

I'm not sure who my favorite is, but I kinda like DeAnn. They really have only featured a few of the girls, so it takes me a couple weeks to figure out who I like best.

[isign]

I really do like Brad's honesty with the camera. I don't think we'll see too many fake tears, from him.

[JenniferEC]

I'm not sure why he's keeping Jade around. She seems like such a bitch and did he even spend any time with her last night?

I have no words for Hillary. She made a complete ass of herself last night and am stumped as to why she got a rose. I knew these girls were desperate, but geez, show some restraint!

And Solisa, what show does she think she's on? She's better suited for Rock of Love or perhaps auditioning for a job at a strip club. I'm still wondering about her speech last week on morals and values.

The whole Brad/Chad switch was pretty funny. They don't look identical to me, nor do they sound anything alike. Some of those girls must have already been drunk. Can't wait for the double date next week!

[udsweetpea]

I'm really liking Sheena. She seems so genuine and honest. Maybe she'll be our "Jen Scheft" of this season. Both her and Christy show some real potential.

I can't stand Jade- she needs to go. I still really like Jenni, but I feel like I shouldn't.

[megc1]

Seriously, why is he keeping Jade?? She always has this snotty look on her face! I thought she was friends with Hillary but she looked like she wanted to murder her when Brad was putting the necklace on her.

Why did Hillary keep crying? I had to look away b/c I was so embarassed for her. Everytime they cut back to their date, she was still crying! :rolleyes: I totally thought she would be going home. Oh well.

Solisa was ridiculous last night. Did anyone notice her lips when she was talking to the camera after she got cut? They didn't look attached to her body.

I want to like Bettina but I have never really seen her talk to Brad. When she finally told him she was divorced she kept playing with her hair. It reminded of the "I'm so mature for my age" girl from last season that always played with her hair.

I like Sheena too. She seems like a nice, normal girl.

[udsweetpea]

Was anyone else annoyed at how Hillary cried and how her eyes twitched? I had to look away too.

[ginastorm]

I think Brad kept Hillary because who knows what she would have done or how she would have reacted if he didn't give her the rose!

I loved how Chad showed up to Brad's "house" dress identically to him, yet acted surprised when Brad asked him to pose as him to the ladies. Do Chad and Brad still dress alike? ;)

[megc1]

I loved how Chad showed up to Brad's "house" dress identically to him, yet acted surprised when Brad asked him to pose as him to the ladies. Do Chad and Brad still dress alike? ;)


I thought this was funny too gina!

I wished we would have seen more of the girls that knew it wasn't Brad and those that had no clue!

[Rosebud]

Both her and Christy show some real potential.

I think Kristy's days may be numbered. According to the preview she freaks out during an improv date next week.

I liked that sending in Chad was able to flush out a few of the girls who shouldn't have been there, like Lindsey and Solisa. They may be twins but they aren't that identical-- even I could tell which one was which. But my real question... who names their twins Brad and Chad? So ridiculous!

I like both Sheena and Bettina. Liking Deanna a little less now-- she seems to have gotten a little bitchy, no? Brad definitely seems to like Jenni the best at this point, though,

[ginastorm]

Hee! Rosebud, I went to high school with identical twin boys named Brad and Chad. I could never tell them apart, but then I wasn't dating one of them either!

[megc1]

But my real question... who names their twins Brad and Chad? So ridiculous!

Didn't one of the girls make fun of this too? I think she was talking about Brad and Chad and then realized after she said them out loud and started giggling. Maybe Sheena?? Too funny. Really, who does that?

[JenniferEC]

This show is crazy! Where do they find 25 batshit crazy women? So glad Jade is gone. She was only there to bitch about the other women. I'm not sure who said Jenni was a slut for kissing Brad, but all I could think about is how any one of these women would probably have already slept with him given the chance. And I hate Bettina. She's a carbon copy of Bevin from last season. Can't wait for Hillary's meltdown next week.

In past seasons, there was some guy that wrote a really funny recap each week. I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link?

[megc1]

I am pretty sure Bettina said Jenni was the slut for kissing Brad. She then said she is a slut & a liar b/c she didn't tell anyone she kissed Brad on that date. I'm sure that given the chance, every single one of those girls would have died for the first kiss! I don't know if it is editing but Bettina sure changed a lot last night. She used to be this quiet girl that never said much but she was pretty outspoken last night. Not sure what to think about her. I still like Sheena. I think Jenni is really cute too.

The guy that I think you may be talking about is Reality Steve. Here is the link:
http://realitysteve.com/

I think this girl is funnier but she usually doesn't put her recap up until later on Tuesday afternoon:
http://thebachelorrecaps.blogspot.com/

I can't wait for the Hillary meltdown! Major drama!

[j*east]

Wow. What an awesome episode!

I felt bad for Jade. It's hard to tell who is the bitchy one, her or Deanna...or both.

Before the show even ended I was thinking that Hillary and Bettina have major psycho potential. Can't wait for next week. It's interesting that they revealed that Hillary gets cut.

I have to say I still like Jenny. I think the others are just really jealous. She and Brad seem to have the most genuine and mutual connection.

I did like when Bettina said the others have no clue about marriage...I don't think they do. :) It makes for a fun show, though.

[TwnklToes80]

I don't think hillary gets cut, i think she leaves on her own. I don't see why they would reveal a cut. Something must have happened to her.

[mmm0708]

Yeah, Chris said, about Hilary, when Hilary leaves the show... leads me to believe that she is leaving on her own... not sure why she's crying so much if it was her own choice, though.

I noticed a huge difference in DeAnna last night... I don't like her as much anymore.

Yes, it was Bettina who called Jenni a slut AND a liar.

Off topic... I went to school with identical twins named Miles and Niles. LOL

[kugrrly]

I have to say I still like Jenny.

So do I. She does not seem as crazy as the rest of the girls.

[Rosebud]

I did like when Bettina said the others have no clue about marriage...I don't think they do.

Yes-- possibly the only words of wisdom ever spoken on this show, and all those twits respond by scoffing, calling Bettina damaged goods and uttering my very favorite phrase, "When you know, you know."

Marriage is hard, ladies! But what do they care? They just want to win a game show.

I actually don't like Jenni. I think she's playing the game HARD and her fakey-fake sweetness seems so, so contrived to me. If I had to say I like anyone... maybe Sheena? There's no one I'm rooting for, though.

[udsweetpea]

Maybe Hillary had a family emergency and that's why she was crying so hard and had to leave the show.

I'm really rooting for Sheena or Deanna, but I can't tell if Deanna is too fake or not.

[Koala_Gurl]

Sheena is kinda growing on me. I am not sure if Jenni is "fake" or not...sure seems hard to keep that "bubbliness" up though if it is fake. :)

[ginastorm]

Yes-- possibly the only words of wisdom ever spoken on this show, and all those twits respond by scoffing, calling Bettina damaged goods and uttering my very favorite phrase, "When you know, you know."

Marriage is hard, ladies! But what do they care? They just want to win a game show.


I thought they were especially mean about Bettina's divorce too. It's not like she's a convicted felon, she was married before and now she's not. What does it matter?

[bluberry]

I can't believe Hilary called Bettina a "used car" because she's been divorced!!! :mad: :eek: :mad:

I know someone who was around Bettina in college and said she used to be painfully shy and quiet. It looks like not too much has changed...except for this last episode. Maybe she hit the wine hard?

And am I the only one who thinks Bettina has really bad hair?

[j*east]

And am I the only one who thinks Bettina has really bad hair?

No--and yes it is bad! I think she looks like Olivia Newton John....from 20 years ago. :p

I think she kind of looks like Heather Locklear...but her hair has been dyed blonde one too many times.

[SiValleySteph]

I'm not sure who said Jenni was a slut for kissing Brad, but all I could think about is how any one of these women would probably have already slept with him given the chance.

I'm pretty sure Bettina said that. What a lame thing to say. Who doesn't kiss on the 1st date is what I want to know? :p

Hillary "Bettina is a used car" "when you know you know" has got to go. She is scary.

Jenni & Sheena are my favorites. I liked Bettina, bad hair & all, before the whole "Jenni is a slut & a lier" thing.

[tonic]

How is possible that I dislike just about every girl left?

I guess if I had to pick my favorites it would be Sheena.

I think the re-caps on TVGasm are HIL-arious. A person named "Honey Gangsta" posts "The Bachelor" recaps there and they are the best :)

TVGasm Recap (http://www.tvgasm.com/shows/the-bachelor/the-bachelor-th-1-5752.php)

Bettina is nutso. I can't believe she said Jenni was "the sluttiest one in the house" b/c she kissed Brad. What is she, 12 years old? That girl has serious issues.

Hillary annoys the living $&@#(* out of me! Ugh - when she was saying "Well I may not have been the first to kiss him but as long as I was the LAST person to kiss him I'm fine with that!". Hellooooo idiot. He's been on dates since you last saw him one-on-one. What makes you think you wre the last???

I think he obviously has the strongest connection with Jenni - and maybe the next strongest with Sheena.

PS: SO glad McCarten is gone. First of all what is up with that name? Second of all what is up with her over-pronouncing each syllable each time she says it herself?

Hillary bugs the crap out of me too, but I think she said "as long as I am the last person to kiss him", meaning the person he chooses in the end. Either way, I hope she is far from that.

I want to like Jenni, but I just can't. I'm with tonic, I would root for Sheena if I had to choose.

[ivansbabe]

In past seasons, there was some guy that wrote a really funny recap each week. I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link?

I think I now who you are talking about...this is the reason why I watch this show. I love getting a recap from a guys perspective, lol.

SO glad McCarten is gone. First of all what is up with that name? Second of all what is up with her over-pronouncing each syllable each time she says it herself?

Hee hee-- I'm glad I wasn't the only person thinking this! That name is horrendous! Her real name is probably Jennifer or Sarah and she's using some family name as a first time to sound more "interesting." :rolleyes:

[TwnklToes80]

http://www.katebrockhouse.blogspot.com/


Check that out. That is Kate from Andy's season. She basicly blows the cover on what we already assumed was going on. The producers rig everything and what these girls do/say is all an act cooked up by the producers. Interesting stuff.

[megc1]

Did anyone else think it was weird that they hardly showed Kristy last night. I know she didn't really want to participate in the pool date but they didn't even show her talking to the camera after she didn't get a rose.

Also did you catch the person running in the background while Hillary was having her meltdown? Do you think they were running to go get Brad? Or a medic?? :rolleyes:

I still like Sheena and I am on the fence about Jenny.

[udsweetpea]

I didn't think Hillary was the nutcase they were making her out to be last night. I mean, she was crazy, but I was expecting SO MUCH MORE!

[megc1]

I didn't think Hillary was the nutcase they were making her out to be last night. I mean, she was crazy, but I was expecting SO MUCH MORE!

Yeah it was a little anticlimatic considering how much they had been hyping it all week. I am still surprised that they revealed who was going home last week. I figured there had to be more to the story than just not getting a rose. It was pretty funny though when Brad kept trying to tell her they were just friends and then she would say something about how great their chemisty was and she can see it when he looks at her. Ouch. How embarassing.

[ivansbabe]

Yeah, they basically showed everything during commercials and the "later on the show" segments so the Hillary thing wasn't as bad as they made it sound, though her sunburn sure was.

Is anyone getting sick of Jenni's headbands? WTF? She looks like crap when she's wearing them...not a good look.

[JenniferEC]

KGif - Thanks for the link. I love reading all of these recaps!

I still don't get how these girls think they are "in love" with Brad when they barely know him. Hillary made an ass of herself just like most of the other girls do when they don't get a rose. Sobbing and having running mascara for a guy you maybe got lucky enough to have a one-on-one date with? It's a wonder my eyes aren't stuck in my head with how often I roll them. :rolleyes:

Of course I'll still watch because nothing makes my Monday nights more complete than laughing at a bunch of desperate nutjobs.

[mmm0708]

Yeah, I noticed they didn't show much of Kristy. There's been very little of her all season. They didn't show Brad talking to her prior to the rose ceremony AT ALL. I thought that was way weird. They showed him and each of the other girls. Weird.

[torch76]

I can't believe they are already on the hometown dates. The season seems to have gone so fast! I can't remember......do they usually get rid of two girls at a time this late in the game?

I agree that Jenni seems to have the strongest connection. I also like that she seems to qenuinely care about the others' feelings. Sheena is okay. I guess she just seems so young to me. Also, she doesn't seem to have a very strong personality. I did feel bad for her when she fell though! I bet it will be down to the two of them at the end.

Bettina's hometown date looked BAD!

[KGif]

For some reason I'm a bit on the fence with Jenni now. I don't know why. I can tell you the headbands definitely aren't helping. There are some people who headbands just don't work for. I'm one of them. Somebody needs to tell her she is one of them too.

I agree that Hillary definitely needed a Xanax or something last night but they WAY overhyped that. Well, and they showed pretty much the entire breakdown in the previews anyway! I thought it was hilarious early in the show when going into commercial the voice over was like "And later .. Hillary LOSES HER MIND". Ummm no. That she did not. The producers of this show kill me with that!

I honestly don't think Brad did that good of a job of telling Hillary he got the "Just friends" vibe from her. He was "I had to shoot straight" but there is a difference between telling someone "I ONLY feel the friend thing" and telling someone "I feel very comfortable with you, like a friend". The latter indicates that more feelings might be present.

Is it me or is Bettina a complete brat? And a terrible liar. When Jenni confronted her about saying that her date sucked after hearing about Sheena's date her excuse of "I totally meant it as a joke" was terrible. It was like you could see her processing the excuse in her brain as she made it up. I expected her to be like "YES! That's it .. it was a joke!"

I think Deanna is a complete bitch. At least that is how she is portrayed. He seems way too nice for her.

I think I might be on "Team Sheena" for now. It somewhat looks like her mom might screw things up for her a bit with the "She's the one. She might not be you're one, but she is the one" and then "lets get a ring!". Ummmm WHAT?

[ginastorm]

I was just embarassed for Hillary after Monday's episode. I kept noticing that her dress looked too tight. Then, when she hugged the girls goodbye, I saw that her dress wasn't zipped all the way.

KGif, I thought the same thing when I was watching Bettina try to cover up that she was disappointed with her one-on-one date. She's a terrible liar. I don't really blame her though, I would have wanted diamond earrings too!

[JenniferEC]

:rolleyes: at Bettina's family. I can't stand people that judge others like her dad and two moms did. So he doesn't have a college degree, so what? And to hear her dad say that her ex-husband was a great guy and she won't find anything better, well no guy is going to want a jerk like that for a FIL.

Jenni should have thought of something better to showcase than her dancing because that was pathetic. When she told Brad not to laugh, all I could think was there was no way he could not.

[udsweetpea]

I'm wondering how Jenni got on the Suns dance team dancing like that. She didn't seem very good.

I could not believe Bettina's family. Yeah he owns bars, but isn't he a millionaire?!?! And I can't believe he gave Bettina a rose after that. At the end of Bettina's hometown date, Brad seemed so uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. Must be something we didn't see.

After last night's episode, I'm really leaning towards DeAnna.

[Koala_Gurl]

I kind of feel like he gave Bettina the rose instead of Sheena, just to spare Sheena.

But, Bettina just seems loony.

[ash0708]

I'm wondering how Jenni got on the Suns dance team dancing like that. She didn't seem very good.

I am a HUGE Suns basketball fan, but their dancers SUCK!! I was appalled when I went to a game in Phoenix last year. Of course I am overly critical, as a dancer, but I think that may be par for the course, the NOLA/OKC Hornets dancers sucked last year too.

[Sazoo]

Some of the scenes in the preview for next week's episode (fantasy dates in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico) were at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach resort, where I was on vacation with DH at the end of August. According to the production schedule that Rosebud posted on page 1 of this thread, the Bachelor was filming there up until 4 days before I arrived! :p

[ginastorm]

I wasn't too impressed with Jenni's dance abilities either. If she wanted to show Brad how much dancing is a part of her life, why didn't she show him a routine or something? I found a picture of Jenni on the Phoenix Sun's Dancers website. If Brad did indeed choose her, I guess they are doing a long distance relationship
http://www.nba.com/media/suns/0607_dancers_portrait.jpg

ETA: I just read on Jenni's bio that she was a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders too. Interesting!

[udsweetpea]

Jenni has some rockin' abs!

[tonic]

I totally agree that her dad should not have said some of the things he did. However, I think her family was the most real out of any of them. Most people are skeptical about the Bachelor and he does have to string them along to some degree. So I can understand the 3rd degree.

But they should have faked it a bit.. and acted like they loved him ;)

I guess I'm back on board for DeAnna. I'm not sure how I feel about Jenni, but I am SO GLAD she isn't just giving up her love for dancing and her career.

[JenniferEC]

Sazoo Too bad you missed out seeing Brad and the girls!

I agree that her family was skeptical of the Bachelor, but they didn't need to take it out on Brad. Why not ask their daughter/step-daughter why she's involved in a show like this. And asking Brad about stringing the girls along was kind of stupid considering they should have known what this show was about when they signed papers allowing themselves to be shown on it.

[tonic]

Well.. Brad did agree to be on the show and signed those same papers. So he has to expect that some people wouldn't approve of the show or be skeptical. So it goes both ways. I wouldn't be surprised if her parents didnt approve of her being on the show but only did it because they wanted to support her.

I do agree that they shouldn't have been rude to him, but I don't know if we really saw the whole interaction between him and her parents. I suspect not because she did get a rose!

[JenniferEC]

I think Bettina is still around for the drama. No way in hell is he going to give her the final rose. He had absolutely no chemistry with Sheena, so at least he can have an overnight with Bettina before he sends her packing.

[meatpie]

Three overnights is pretty disgusting. Was it always this way, or was there two overnight dates.

[megc1]

Three overnights is pretty disgusting. Was it always this way, or was there two overnight dates.

I'm pretty sure it has always been three overnights. Usually though, the girls are in different locations but this time they are all in the same place.

[udsweetpea]

They were all in Hawaii last year too. I liked when they went to different places. Seemed more romantic that way.

[Sevilla]

I watch the Bachelor on abc.com the next day - but the episode is messed up and showed Deanna's visit twice and not Bettina's at all. That is the one I was most interested in too, darn.

I think it is skeevy that the bachelor could potentially have sex with three different girls three nights in a row - do all the bachelors do that or is it more of kissing/cuddling and not sex?

[Sazoo]

They were all in Hawaii last year too. I liked when they went to different places. Seemed more romantic that way.I agree; the bed-hopping seemed a little less obvious when the guy had to fly to a different location and start the fantasy date thing all over again. With them all in the same city (even at the same resort) it just seems even more...icky. :p

P.S. My boss has been to that same resort in Cabo, too, and when I told her this morning that the Bachelor is going there in next week's episode, she told me she knew because she watches the show, too! :eek: I have to say that it was a little weird chatting with my boss about The Bachelor - especially when she commented "I always wonder how many of these girls the bachelors sleep with on the fantasy dates." I was thinking "Yep, no kidding. Now let's change the subject..." LOL!

[Sazoo]

I think it is skeevy that the bachelor could potentially have sex with three different girls three nights in a row - do all the bachelors do that or is it more of kissing/cuddling and not sex?As the audience we don't know, because once the couple goes into the bedroom of the fantasy suite they shut the door & the cameras turn off. So...it's left to our imagination whether the bachelors actually have sex with the girls or not, which ones, etc. :p

[maplekitty]

I'm wondering if he chose Bettina, because it would be easier to let her go next?
Sheena's mom was total MOMZILLA!!! And a little drunk to boot! How embarassing!

I'm on the fence about Jeni. It seems like he has the most feeling for her.
But I'm really liking DeAnna more and more, even though she was pretty biotchy in the beginning!

[torch76]

Jenni: I think she was just embarrassed to dance in front of Brad. She probably (hopefully?) is really a better dancer. She seems the most real to me and the most genuine,

DeAnna: It still seems like she is in it just to win to me. Although she has probably convinced herself she has feelings for Brad I don't see them lasting.

Bettina: I think it is funny she is not even smart enough to come back with remarks to defend herself when put on the line. Like when she said she was just joking about not liking her date last week. Ummm...no you weren't. I can't imagine him picking her with such an unsupportive family. I get the feeling though that Brad isn't used to being disliked. He's usually the golden boy.

Sheena: Although I like Sheena she still seemed to lack personality to me. I saw the most personality in the limo after she was rejected. I think Brad was trithful when he said there just wasn't a spark.

I think DeAnna and Jenni will definitely be the final two. I will be shocked if he doesn't pick Jenni.

[SMgal]

I think Bettina is still around for the drama. No way in hell is he going to give her the final rose. He had absolutely no chemistry with Sheena, so at least he can have an overnight with Bettina before he sends her packing.

LOL! That's what my DH says! DH says Bettina is hot and that Brad should atleast, bang her before she goes! :D

[Sevilla]

I actually think that Deanna will be the winner in the end. The very first night I called her as one of the final 2, and I want to be right!

[JenniferEC]

I don't know how to put the puking smiley on here, but if I did I would. Brad is so cheesy on the overnights, especially with the notes from Chris. It would be easier if he just asked them if they want to go back to the fantasy suite and have sex.

[ihearttx]

The way Chris just said "When Brad follows his heart.." in the previews..I'm starting to think he won't pick either of them. Or something. Too weird! What else could the big surprise be about how it ends?

[ash0708]

Ok, so I may have been dreaming, but when I was watching Dancing with the Stars, they showed a preview of the last Bachelor, and the girl that got out of the limo had on a red dress and either gold or black shoes (can't remember), and I thought it was Bettina. Well, when the Bachelor was over, and they showed the previews for next week, neither Jenni or Deanna had on a red dress for the rose ceremony. I need to go back and rewatch that commercial, just to make sure I am not imagining things.

[ihearttx]

INTERESTING. You need to let us know if this is true because maybe that's what "as Brad follows his heart" means?

[Sevilla]

I think Brad picks Deanna in the end. There was a photo of her on his bar's Myspace page a few weeks ago.

Wouldn't it have been funny if the Bachelor was filmed during the writer's strike? I wonder how much cheesy dialogue would be omitted due to that ;).

[tonic]

DeAnna's eyebrows were bugging me during their dinner date. I think maybe she should lay off the tweezers for awhile.

Oh and.. did they eat anything at dinner? Their dinner plates looked untouched when they left to go "do it" ;)

[SMgal]

DeAnna's eyebrows were bugging me during their dinner date. I think maybe she should lay off the tweezers for awhile. ;)

Maybe that's what it is that bothers me so much about this girl! :p She seems to have a GREAT family and is smart, but there is something about this girl that has BUGGED me from the beginning! I'm sure that the fact she came off as a biotch had nothing to do with it...;)

Found it! It was definitely a red dress with gold heels, and neither Deanna nor Jenni had a red dress on when they showed them walking to the rose ceremony (unless they were showing different shots of them). Holy scandalous!

[ivansbabe]

Speaking of dresses I thought Bettina's dress last night was so pretty...if he was choosing based off of looks she'd win hands down. I don't think Jenni is that pretty and with her resume (being a dancer for three different pro teams) I hardly think this is a good fit for him...that is if he's seriously looking for someone.
I'm glad they at least changed up the rooms for all the overnights. How icky.

[Sazoo]

Oh and.. did they eat anything at dinner? Their dinner plates looked untouched when they left to go "do it" ;)I don't recall seeing any of them eat during any of their dinner dates. I could be wrong about that, but all I remember was the conversations about going to the fantasy suites.

Do you think he had sex with all 3 girls? In past seasons I didn't necessarily think that after watching the fantasy date episodes, but...last night I really got the impression that's where things were headed on each of his 3 overnight dates. :rolleyes:

I'm glad they at least changed up the rooms for all the overnights. How icky.Icky, I agree. It looked like he stayed at 3 different resorts for his 3 overnight dates - they're all part of Pueblo Bonito & are close together though. One of them has these cool beach beds out on the sand, and I thought for sure we'd get a scene of Brad and one of the girls hanging out there (obviously not for the overnight date due to lack of privacy) but no such luck.

[Sazoo]

Here's one of the beach beds at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica that I mentioned above. The Pacifica is where he stayed one night (I think with Bettina) and where he held the rose ceremony.

I had the same exact impression. I don't recall any previous Bachelor where he seemed to almost come out and say that they would be having sex. Even the girls gave that impression. So I think he did.

[JenniferEC]

I've been trying to find spoilers at TWOP and FORT but am coming up empty. Over at FORT they are analyzing screen shots and it was too confusing for me.

[Sevilla]

Here is a Podcast with an interview with Brad this week where he says he did *not* sleep with any of the women and the reason the girls and he all acted so eager to go back to the rooms was b/c they could spend time together away from the cameras. That makes sense to me.

http://www.967kissfm.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=BobbyBonesShow.xml

[Rosebud]

I think this is the first season of The Bachelor that the people on the FORT boards have not been able to conclusively figure out the winner at this point. The editing on this show has gotten tricky!

I'm betting the winner is Jenni. I don't like her (or Deanna, for that matter), but Jenni is the only one that he's clearly had chemistry with from day one.

[ihearttx]

Did anyone watch tonight? Yet again, they keep saying "When Brad follows his heart". Even he said it himself. Not "I'm so in love blah blah blah" like they usually say.

I still say he doesn't pick either. That would be awesome! :)

[JenniferEC]

It would be funny to watch the FRC next week and not have him give out a rose. Two meltdowns are better than one!

McCarten and Jade still seemed as bitchy as ever last night. It's no wonder most (I think Sheena has a boyfriend) of them are still single.

[megc1]

I am beginning to agree with you especially after last night! That will be quite fun to watch!! I still can't figure out who the girl is getting out of the limo in the red dress and gold heels. They only show that preview during Dancing With the Stars. It will be interesting.

[ihearttx]

I just saw another commericial for tomorrow night and it said something like "And the ending that you never saw coming" and then you hear a woman's voice say "I'm SOOOOOO sorry".

HMM?

[udsweetpea]

I just saw another commericial for tomorrow night and it said something like "And the ending that you never saw coming" and then you hear a woman's voice say "I'm SOOOOOO sorry".

HMM?

The woman who apologized really sounded like Jenni. I can't wait to see what will happen!

[megc1]

I thought it sounded like Jenni too! I think they are just trying to throw us though. I am still thinking that he doesn't pick either one.

[KGif]

I'm thinking they are totally over dramatizing this "ending you NEVER saw coming" like they did whats-her-names departure with the "biggest meltdown in Bachelor history". Dun dun DUNH! :)

Bettina
I'm hoping they are not bringing her back or anything b/c I don't see how they would do well with her family being so "disappointed" with him. Thing is his family never said they were upset b/c of the way they were meeting - they specifically said they were put off by Brad b/c he owned a bar and didn't complete college. How freaking snobby can you be? Personally I could never be with someone who would comletly judge me like that without getting to know me.

Jenni
Okay I liked her before but now I just find her annoying. I can't quite put my finger on it. Just annoying.

Deanna
Still not a huge fan of her but LOVE her family! They were just so warm and inviting - the way you should be when you host someone in your house. Plus they just seemed like so much fun. The type of people you'd actually look forward to spending holidays with - unlike Bettina's family the McStuffy clan ;)

[ihearttx]

I'm still sticking to my he doesn't pick either one theory. I just think after last week's show when he never said how "in love" he was blah blah blah, I say neither. And if it IS neither, watch out Austin as women from around the world will be throwing themselves at him at his bars! Yikes!

[Rosebud]

I'm so tempted to read spoilers as soon as it ends on the East Coast. I'm totally hoping there's no cheesy happy ending this time. :D I wonder if ABC would let him get away with that or if he really has to pick one.

[kugrrly]

interesting so far

[ihearttx]

verrrrry interesting..still 13 minutes til the end..hmmm...

[kugrrly]

I am just waiting for him to say something.......

[ihearttx]

this is GREAT stuff.

[kugrrly]

and there it is.

[ihearttx]

Wow.

[ihearttx]

best.bachelor.ever.

[JenniferEC]

this show is so cheesy

[kugrrly]

I am curious to the person that he was talking about in the reunion show.

[kugrrly]

this show is so cheesy
it really is.

[Noa]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST SHOW EVER!! LOVE THIS! Its about FRIGGIN' time!

[kugrrly]

at least he has told the truth.

[JenniferEC]

They really should provide kleenex at the end because watching snot run out of someone's nose does not make good tv.

[imagirliegirl]

I don't usually watch this show but it was marketed as so interesting so I went for it. This was awesome!!

[ihearttx]

OMG. Tomorrow night, baby!

[ihearttx]

They really should provide kleenex at the end because watching snot run out of someone's nose does not make good tv.

LOL!

[JenniferEC]

Here's a guy that has four bars to promote and had the chance to do that on national tv with 25 desperate women throwing themselves at him. In the end, he got exactly what he wanted -- publicity, a few weeks of bikini clad women, and now the chance to date anyone he wants.

[TravelGirl]

I live in Austin and from what I understand, his bars do pretty well without the publicity this show will give him.

I thought it was great to see someone not get totally caught up in the drama of tv and do what everyone expected of him. That took guts.

[maplekitty]

wow!
didnt someone predict that, with the whole "brad follows his heart" thing? good call!

It really seemed like he had a panic attack at the last minute and changed his mind. If he's so easy to change his mind like that, who's to say that he didnt also make a mistake by sending Deanna home and not just doing the "let's see what happens" thing. I'd much rather a "let's see what happens", then to hear about a broken engagement.

That would be me who predicted it. I am still gloating to my husband this morning. haha. :)

[torch76]

Why did he go pick out a ring? Just because that is what he was supposed to do? How lame that he has to act like he is totally in love and go through the motions when he really isn't. I agree with DeAnna. It would have been better just to say I don't see myself marrying you rather than you are so awesome!!! I care about you so much!!! Blah, blah , blah.....

[udsweetpea]

It seemed to me that he was going to choose her because he was talking about how excited he was after he left Jenni go, and then he had a change of heart. Poor girls.

[TwnklToes80]

Although I called it, this was a really bizarre ending. I wonder if Jenni knew before last night that Deanna didn't get the FR either...I also wonder how ABC is going to recover from this with a new bachelor season. To be honest, I wouldn't watch again. I know this show is incredibly scripted and edited and it's not entirely real, and in the past i can get past the ridiculous sobbing with each goodbye. But for whatever reason, watching this finale made me feel like they really DID screw with these womens' hearts. I mean, they were both completely unsuspecting. In the past, I have seen the women cry and boo hoo, but you could tell they were ready for it. I dunno...just kinda weird.

[nic]

Recap anyone?

[diam124]

I admit that I've never watched a full season of The Bachelor (I do generally watch the finales though). I agree that it seemed like both of them were genuinely hurt by his decisions.

[TwnklToes80]

I'm assuming you know what happened, since it's all over this thread...but a recap of his heartfelt words, lol...I got that

So the girls meet the families. Mom has a private talk with each one. Deanna is very sincere and honest, Jenni is giggly and sweet. Mom says she like deanna better, but probably because she met her first, so she doesn't know.

Now both the girls get one last chance to wow Brad. First Deanna. She is making dinner in some apartment (I doubt they get to stay in nice apartments like that, probably just used this one for last nights show). Brad is saying in the voice over how much he cares about deanna and he can see being with her forever. Then he completely pours out his heart to her.

Now Jenni has a turn to show she is domesticated. She's in another apartment (or maybe the same one???) cooking dinner. Brad comes over, they eat and talk. Then they end up on the couch where Jenni gives him this journal and on the inside is a note from her telling him how much she loves him and how she had a hard time saying it before (before what?? you've only known him for 3 months) and she hopes its not too late. Brad is so touched and tells her he really needed to hear that from her.

And onto the FR. Brad is waiting at the pretty little podium for Jenni. He says lots of nice gooey things to her, but says that she is not the one. He asks her to say what is on her mind, she says that she is embaressed now for telling him all those wonderful things the night before. They hug, brad teas up, sticks her in the limo. Goodbye Jenni

The voiceover comes on and he says he is nervous and scared about what is coming next (i thought he said he was excited, but i'm starting to think I was wrong). Deanna comes down, he is just pouring his heart out, then he says "you know how you said that you want to get married once and that's it? well I want that too, and I just said goodbye to jenny" (not exact quote). THEN, he actually says excuse me and walks away from Deanna and had to loosen his collar and regain his composure. Then he comes back and tells her that he cannot tell her that he loves her because he doesn't. And she looks like she is going to put her fist in his face. He says to her "Don't you know how much I care about you". and her award winning reply is "I thought I did, up until now". He looks like he is going to choke and he tells her "I have to take you to the limo...now". Into the limo she goes and goodbye Deanna.

And THAT was the most shocking ending in bachelor history :)

[ginastorm]

I don't understand why he didn't just ask her to date him. He said he cared a great deal about her, but had to let her go because he didn't love her. I think it would be extremely difficult to truly love someone that you met on a reality dating show and that you've only known a few weeks.

Deanna still looks angry (I don't blame her) on the After the Final Rose show tonight.

[ivansbabe]

I think the girls have every right to be angry but I LOVED the ending. I didn't see him ending up with either one of those two. I don't know, I'm so happy to see them (I guess abc) actually be more real about it than previous seasons.

[Koala_Gurl]

In white, just in case... Make sure y'all watch the "after the rose" tonight.

ITA!!! Haven't they done that in the past? Where the Bachelor said he wasn't ready to get married but wanted to see where things went? (I haven't watched it since Trista and Ryan, but I seem to remember hearing that one recently ended that way.)

Call me naive, but I really felt bad for him at the end. He really did look sad (and sexy at the same time!). Although I do live in Austin and I think I could hear thousands of women shrieking with joy that he is still single. :)

And by the way...Since I live in Austin, I have heard him on numerous local radio shows talking about how it was such a happy ending and alluding to the fact that he missed his girlfriend. Not sure what that was about. :confused:

Why did he go pick out a ring?

They were probably contractually obligated to show the ring, since it usually given by the sponsor.

Didn't the last Bachelorette (Jen) do something similar and reject both finalists?

I heard a rumor that there may be a proposal tonight. ETA: not sure how reliable it is, that's for sure.

That's all...

Koala--thanks for the clarification. I couldn't figure it out! :)

Yeah, didn't make much sense without the added bit. :) Sorry 'bout that!

[imagirliegirl]

I can't believe Deanna is saying she'd give him a chance. :rolleyes:

I gotta say though, if what he's saying is real about thinking she deserved more than some guy who said I don't love you, that's fair enough.

[ihearttx]

hmmm..something tells me that spoiler ain't happening. haha

[ihearttx]

Wow, he really is an ass!

[kate's mom]

Trista and Ryan's son-Max is so cute!

[imagirliegirl]

Wow, he really is an ass!

You really think so? I think these women have completely unrealistic expectations. I don't see how any woman can expect a man to fall in love with her after 6 weeks when there are 20 other women are around.

Also, maybe he did see something in them but maybe it wasn't enough. That's called relationships. I don't see why they aren't able to grasp that concept.

The way the women are acting now is making me think he did the right thing by letting them go. I think it's kind of sad that they have been in mourning over him for 2.5 months when the show didn't even last that long! I think Deanna is looking especially stupid. She really needs to let it go. If she thinks she's as great as she says she does, she shouldn't be crying over him. Why does she want someone so badly who clearly doesn't want her?

I do think he misled them before the finale but I highly doubt the show would allow him to do anything else. This is television.

[JenniferEC]

I really don't think he was on the show to find a wife.

I think it's kind of sad that they have been in mourning over him for 2.5 months when the show didn't even last that long!
ITA! Move on.

[kmmommy]

I really don't think he was on the show to find a wife.

My thoughts exactly. I think he figured on a fun time with lots of girls throwing themselves at him and cheap publicity at the same time.

I don't get why they all thought he was so hot. Not my type, I guess.

[TrulyBlessed]

I don't get why they all thought he was so hot. Not my type, I guess.

ITA...something about him totally weirds me out. I have no idea why these girls are still mourning over him. Especially after he has made out with practically every single girl on the show. I always wonder why women even agree to come on this show-- attention seeking, wh*res perhaps? ;)

[imagirliegirl]

I always wonder why women even agree to come on this show-- attention seeking, wh*res perhaps? ;)

I wonder that as well. What amazes me is how they all seem to fall "in love". They are either really good actors or gigantic idiots. Jury's still out on that one. :)

[Koala_Gurl]

Eww...I apologize for that stinky (non)spoiler, LOL! A friend of mine's brother was DiDi's old manager...that is where the info came from...and wow, what a bunch of hooey! Sorry! :)

[kam]

I am one of those fans who only watch the women tell all, the finale and after the final rose (I find you can know everything important that went on during that time).

His explanation was bizarre. I can respect the "I got caught up in it all, I'm just not that into you" part. He's being honest unlike Bob (ewwwwwww). What I don't get is the whole "I love you so much to let you go" part. He should've said, if he meant it, "Listen, you say love takes time and that's not how I see it. I tried to force something that I think will never turn into love." Not sure why he didn't just say that. Instead he said "I can't be forced to love someone" when people said, "Why not just try a relationship?" He could never answer clearly (although I guess he tried) that he doesn't do relationships like that. Odd.

[jarm]

He obviously has commitment issues. I think his feeling were too real for him and that scared him away. No one was asking him to tell either of them that he loved her, but if you find someone who has all the qualities you've ever looked for in a wife, then why not give a shot? He could've been honest that way and still gave it a go. My personal opinion is that he's a chicken for not even trying to give it a shot.

[Jaycee]

I think that he probably got turned off when these girls professed their love for him. He was still in the "like" phase. If someone told me they loved me and wanted to spend the rest of their lives with me and have my children, six weeks into dating, and I wasn't there yet, then I'd probably get a little turned off myself. I think that when a relationship is that lop-sided in mutual feelings, regardless of how much you may have liked that person before, it may be hard to go forward.

Maybe in this case, had one of them "not" told him that they loved him, she would have gotten the rose and been asked to continue a dating relationship with Brad.

[cocopops]

I use to watch this show!! The last one I saw was Andrew Firestone and I watched the Finale of the guy in the Navy. Can someone tell me besides Ryan & Trista if any of these couples are married and still together?

[mmm0708]

Byron and Mary are still together. Trista, Ryan, and their new baby and Byron and Mary were all on the show last night. ABC's last ditch effort to make us all warm and fuzzy about the show after this week's disaster of a finale. :p

Charlie and Sarah just recently broke up. They last a long time for a Bachelor couple.

Maybe in this case, had one of them "not" told him that they loved him, she would have gotten the rose and been asked to continue a dating relationship with Brad.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I actually feel this guy was the most "real" about the whole thing. I bet it was a combination of what ABC made him do/say and just freaking out about liking 2 women who professed their undying love. My DH would have freaked out if after 5 weeks I did the same. :)

I agree, had one of them said, I really like you and would like to see where this goes and left it at that, she may have gotten the rose (at least the rose to continue dating.)

I think I am actually very happy w/ the outcome. I feel bad these girls got taken for a ride, but hey, it's the real world...why does he 'have' to pick one?

[mmm0708]

I agree. I don't fault him at all for not falling in love. I respect him for being honest about it, actually. My gut feeling is that he had serious issues with having feelings for BOTH of them at the same time. He seems more of a hopeless romatic type and it just wasn't right to feel things for both. Perhaps because it was so uncomfortable he didn't allow himself to feel more... like being "in love" with Deanna. At least her Daddy was there to comfort her.

[skyblu]

I think I kind of get what he's saying.

If both people (he and the girl) had the same level of involvement, then they could date and see what develops. If they were both in the process of having feelings and wanting to be around each other, then dating is great.

But when the girl says she's in love with him, and he knows he's not, dating her to see if he will eventually fall in love *is* leading her on.

It sucks for the girls, especially DeeDee, who got her hopes up when she found out Jenni had been sent home. But in the end, I'd rather lose a guy I knew for 2 months than one I'd dated (or been engaged to!) for much longer.

[ahavnes]

I agree with skyblu. I do think he took the high road, but I also think that he has some relationship issues (which he acknowledged himself). I feel badly for everyone involved.

Did anyone else find it hard to watch that last segment with DeAnna? I felt like I was totally intruding on someone else's pain! Maybe I am too into this season! :)

[udsweetpea]

I feel so bad for the girls who expressed their love to him. I felt like he was ASKING them to share their feelings, and his mom even asked Jenni if she had said she loved him. I think they were both kind of pushed into these feelings and expressing them. They were definitely led on.

[SoPasMom]

I wonder that as well. What amazes me is how they all seem to fall "in love". They are either really good actors or gigantic idiots. Jury's still out on that one. :)

Haven't you ever been caught up in a moment? Kinda like when Christy Brinkley married that guy because they both survived that skiing accident. It's just a moment that brings you together and you get caught up in it. I understand how they could "fall in love" in such a short time. It's all very romantic plus they feed them alcohol the whole time.

[ihearttx]

If he knew he had commitment issues, he shouldn't have gone on a dating show where the goal is to meet the person you want to marry. And if he wasn't feeling any of the women, he should have backed out long before he got to the top 2.

I have officially watched every season of The Bachelor. Man, I need a life! :D

[ahavnes]

ihearttx-I don't think he really realized he had commitment issues. Most men don't. They are blissfully unaware until it bites them in the ass. :)

[ihearttx]

ihearttx-I don't think he really realized he had commitment issues. Most men don't. They are blissfully unaware until it bites them in the ass. :)

I think he did..he's 34 and has had a bunch of failed realtionships. His last one was over 3 years. He even said "I obviously have issues".

I agree w/ this. I think even our dear bachelor was pushed into leading the girls on. If he had known early on he wasn't interested in marrying / dating any of the women after the show, it wouldn't be good TV. I would have to assume the powers that be urge some feelings on all sides.

[KGif]

I'm so confused. If he was *SO* into both girls why not just pick one to date and see how things go? I mean in "real life" you're usually not going to decide in a month or 6 weeks (whatever it is) if the person you are dating is for SURE the one you will marry! I don't get it. I guess it ws b/c the girls both said "I'm falling in love" or "I am in love" but still - why not still just go with it and see if you don't fall for one of them over time too? And WHY am I not only spending time watching this crap but also spending time outside of normal viewing time getting all caught up in thinking about it!?!??!

[imagirliegirl]

I'm sure the producers of the show had a hand in that. It isn't like going to them and saying please don't tell me you love me because I don't love you was really any option.

You'd think the girls who go on this show would have figured that out by now.

[TwnklToes80]

The other thing is, they take away all of their communication to the outside world...no cell phones, no music, no computers, no books, no newspapers, no tv...no access to the outside world. They cannot call their family or friends, they can't even tell them they are going on the show. Then, the producers talk about the bachelor all the time and all the girls have to focus on is him. could you imagine if you have nothing to do but sit by the pool and drink all day...for 6 weeks...you'd fall in love with a leaf if it meant something exciting.

Yikes!

Actually, not to sound sanctimonious or too serious in light of the thread topic, but it really bothers me when the media makes light of men who are battered. TMZ's title "Bachelor Gets His Ass Kicked" is quite insensitive. If a woman had been battered, would they say she got "her ass kicked"? Domestic violence is wrong and sad, no matter the gender of the abuser!

Delgado and Velvick were at a friends' condominium last Tuesday night when the pair disagreed over whether they should leave the home after the couple they had been visiting with began arguing, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt Jim Bordner told The Tampa Tribune in a Monday report.

While Velvick wanted to leave the condominium, Bordner told The Times that Delgado wanted to stay, and after the pair got into Velvick's truck they "became involved in an argument which turned physical."

Boy isn't this a little petty to get into a fistfight?:rolleyes:

Who wants to bet that this is the end of the road for these two?

[December27JJB]

She was your NEIGHBOR!?!? Ok, we definitely need some examples and stories, stat!

Yeah she was my neighbor around the time DH and I got married. I dont really have much to report but we lived in an apartment and she moved in around the time the Bachelor with Bob started airing. I thought she looked so familiar. She had photo shoots and newspeople interviewing her around the complex. I finally figured out who she was. She wasn't friendly at all, she never smiled, never said hi, it wasn't like I was running up to her for an autograph (she acted like she was sooo important.) Another neighbor (who is also involved in the entertainment business) told us she was friendly but stressed out. She drove a low rider car (if I remember correctly) that had dark tinted windows and a license plate that read something like "What is up" DH and I started calling her "What is up" we would say "Oh, What is up is home" When she moved out she left her door open and it was open for like a week. DH and I were joking that there must be a body somewhere in there and we dared each other to poke in there but we were too chicken to do that.

Nothing You Say Will Stop This Man From Getting Laid: Love-Refusing Bachelor Brad Womack Runs the Daytime Talk Show Gauntlet (http://defamer.com/hollywood/nothing-you-say-will-stop-this-man-from-getting-crazy-laid/love+refusing-bachelor-brad-womack-runs-the-daytime-talk-show-gaunlet-328813.php)

Remember Brad Womack, the slab of The Bachelor man-beef who ripped out America's heart, doused it in Old Spice, and then set the still-beating organ aflame by failing to pretend he'd fallen for either of the two contestants who'd survived weeks of televised culling? Of course you do. That stuff only happened a week ago! Anyway: after giving him the what-for on yesterday's program, today Ellen DeGeneres invited Womack to her show so that should could get some f-ing answers to questions she felt weren't adequately addressed during the post-finale interrogation that repeatedly stole the breath of a studio audience scandalized by his inability to let love heal his tortured soul.

To his credit, Womack rose to the challenge, even knowing that his hunky, lunkheaded charms--or, in a pinch, the mesmerizing removal of his shirt for a peek at his Strip-O-Gram-quality abs--would be of no use against this particular inquisitor. Watch the clip, then head off into your weekend with a marginally greater degree of closure than you had three-and-a-half minutes ago. (article & video at link above)

[JenniferEC]

I could have sworn that on the ATFR show that he had admitted to asking for DeAnna's father to be flown out, but now he's saying that he didn't. Man, he can talk circles around the questions without ever answering them.

[ahavnes]

He DID admit to asking for DeAnna's father to come out on the After Show!! Jennifer is right.

It's not airing here on the west coast for several more hours, but wow, that's interesting about Brad! He must have gotten a lot of crap from people for the way he ended his season so he doesn't want to open the can of worms again. Acutally I'm surprised there aren't more of the past bachelors who were reluctant to participate in this reunion show tonight...are the rest of them all participating in some way?
