The Bachelor

[Jenster]

I'm surprised he kept Kristie, after talking about her being too refined for him and her having problems with doing improv. I liked Stephy, although I don't know if he really got to know her.

This is the first time I liked Jade. When they showed Deanna and McCarten ragging on people, and Jade trying to talk but getting interrupted, I started thinking better of Jade. She seems sweeter and more genuine than Deanna. Boo for Deanna.

I don't really know if Jenni knows what she's looking for in marriage. I just get the sense that she thinks it's neat and cool to be on the show and wants to win Brad's heart, but all the producers do is show her giggling and laughing. Does she have any real questions for him or any deep thoughts? She seems a little naive.

I still like Sheena, and I like Hillary as well. Not sure about Bettina anymore because she said in this episode that she came on the show not expecting to have feelings for the guy. That made me think, "So why did you come on the show?" Maybe she meant she was being guarded, but it sounded like she wasn't going to be open to falling in love.

So did you guys see the preview for next week? Hillary seems to lose it and takes herself off the show.

I saw that... How interesting.. I woke up and was like ooo it's thursday good shows coming on including bachelor.. I have nooo idea why I keep doing that LOL

 

[RedTulipMom]

This season isn't too bad. Last season with Andy was my all-time favorite..i loved that guy! Though this guy is pretty nice and genuine it seems too..

I vote for it to be on 2x a week!!!

I vote for it to be on 2x a week!!!

LOL! Me, too!

 

[SweetBella]

[Thankful4HIM]

Agree.

 

[SweetBella]

YAY!!! Monday is here again! Do any of you girls ever have Bachelor night where you watch The Bachelor with a bunch of friends?

 

[Thankful4HIM]

no.. i dont have any friends near me

 

[California Dreamin']

No, I don't have friends.
A group watched it when I went to university '04-'05 and the TV in the lounge was mine, but I still felt left out...

After last nights show I'm not sure who is my fav. Lots of things going on. But I think after the home dates the final 2 will diffenetly be obvious. And I'm glad Hillary is gooone!!

 

[Jenster]

So the show built up Hillary's exit as SO out of control, but really, when it happened I thought she spoke pretty well about how she felt. The teases had made me think she was going to faint or throw things or something, but it just seemed like she was reacting as I would've reacted if I'd fallen in love with someone. In fact, it reminded me of one of my breakups!

Anyway, Sheena's still a good one in my book. Jenni - I'm still not sure if she's playing the game or if she's really serious about him. I've never felt any passion from Deanna. And Bettina needs to come out of her shell big time in order for her to compete against the other ladies, imho.

Of course, after next week's hometown dates, the decision may be a lot easier for Brad.

 

[llghoney]

I think I'm liking Sheena too!

 

[llghoney]

I think the home dates episodes are my favorite!! And it looks like Jeni & Deanna will be the final 2 or that's what I get from last night. And Bettina's dad wooooooo. I know how that goes as some of my family are that way but, if they would flat out say rude things to someone it would be quiet embarrassing & I wouldn't be to happy.

So go Jeni!!

 

[SweetBella]

last nights show was so awkward and funny... i don't think he "clicks" with any of these girls..... those parents were toooo much!

 

[RedTulipMom]

hmmm..seems like he really likes jen alot..but the whole..one year away thing could stop him from picking her! he sure got along well with deanna's family. I was schocked that he kept bettina after that family..eek. she will probably be gone next im sure!

I was surprised too but Sheena's mom was kinda too! And I kept thinking he is keeping Bettina because he's attracted to her.

Yes, I agree... wow... I really liked Sheena, but I'm kinda weirded out by her mother rambling on about nothing...

 

[Jenster]

With Jenni there's a fairytale-like quality to their relationship. So I do think he'll choose her in the end. It seems like their chemistry is through the roof, and he did acknowledge to her that compromise is part of a relationship. So if he could do long distance romance with anyone, it would be her, I think. (Probably would end up spending a lot of time in Phoenix or traveling to see her...)

Deanna's relationship with him is somehow less interesting to me. It's just not ... "apparent," even though they both say how much they like each other and he admires her, etc.

I was surprised too about Bettina being kept and I 100 percent agree it's because he's so attracted to her. Sheena was my favorite and she's really nice and sweet, but perhaps he didn't find her as sexy as the other girls. Seems like the shy, sweet ones don't end up with the guy...
