Anyone else watching The Bachelor?

#1 Post by secondchance » Thu Feb 05, 2009 11:30 am

The only girl that seemed amazing, he just let go. I'm finding no one left that seems irrisistible.

including him, unfortunately...

Me.

Stephanie was not right for him. She made me crazy with her breathless way of talking. I trust she will get calls for dates from men for whom she is right.

Naomi has got to go. That girl is not ready for what she says she is ready for.

There is something about Molly that just doesn't seem right.

I think it will be Melissa and Jillian standing in the end.

No clue who will get the ring.

I'm thinking Melissa.

I'm glad Stephanie is gone. She struck me as Stepfordish. And like Pea, that breathy voice thing bothered me. I sincerely hope she is NOT the next Bachelorette

Yikes!

Erase that one from the possibility list.

I will not be watching that season if that happens.

(sheepishly raises hand)

I liked Steph, but not for him.

Rumour has it that Melissa is the last one standing, but I am rooting for Jillian (Canadian and all LOL)

Molly seems a little too self-centered, and


what about Naomi


She is just waaaaaay not ready.

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:


I see someone mentioned it may be Melissa. Hmmm, I had it down to Jillian and Molly.

The more I watch it the more I am wondering why so many think "he" is such a great catch.

He's not my favorite Bachelor, either. There always seems to be a lot of sympathy for the first runners up, and if it makes peeps tune in....

Great catch?

Don't know.

He certainly can afford to be attentive and understanding and compassionate during this process.

Just wait till real life kicks in.

Yes, The Baboo watches every episode. I am on the other end of the couch reading enough that I would like to make a proposal for consideration. When the next season comes around, I would like for us to get up a pool and guess how many times the word amazing is said on the show by The Bachelor in a season.
I felt the change

Time meant nothing and never would again

My guess is 500,000,000.

Very insightful observations, all. I concur!

Spoilerish, but has been on an early preview, and discussed on "Ellen" the other day:
Spoiler
I can't wait to see the episode where Deanna returns, tail between her legs, insisting she made a mistake and wants him back! Ellen predicts that she gets the ring.
I'm hoping anyone but Naomi.

Poor Jason has gotten less and less intriguing as the season goes on. What does anyone actually even know about him, other than he's been dumped big-time twice, loves hugs and liplocks, and likes to smile really big?

I miss Shannon. For the cringe factor.

I saw Jason crying on the balcony. They spliced that into a preview after Deanna came and told him she made a mistake.

I am betting it was all put together to give us the wrong impression. I don't think Deanna would come on and tell him she made a mistake and picked Jesse and wants him. I just don't see that happening. I think she told him something about something else - not her final choice.

We'll see.

Stephanie needs an older Southern gentleman who can shower her with affection. I like Jillian the most, but I think he does seem to be more into Melissa.
