The Bachelor

[K9_Trainer]

I decided that he was going to pick Jenni from the first episode You can tell they have alot of chemistry...Her enthusiasm about life is probably what gets Brad the most. Her grandma was funny though.

I can't tell who's going to be next to go though....Deffinitly not Jenni. I don't really see anything going on with Deanna and I'm suprised that Bettina's judgemental parents didn't scare him off this last episode. What do you guys think?

The same as you!

 

[Jenster]

Yeah, it's Jenni. So how many episodes are left? Just one, or two?

 

[Thankful4HIM]

3.. after tonight 2

 

[K9_Trainer]

Yep.

Can't wait for the women tell all episode next Monday. All the girl drama should be interesting Not to mention we get to hear an explanation for Hillary's dramatic exit.

I still think he's going to pick Jenni though. DeAnna seems too streightforward for him.

 

[Jenster]

iF it's not Jenni, that would be a shocker!

 

[llghoney]

I'm still saying Jeni too! Although he was taken aback by what DeAnna said. Something about her she seems scripted to me.

Oh, I agree, llghoney. A friend of mine said she just sounds "formal," and I suppose that could be it. But to me there's an air of unbelievability to what she says, even if she IS being genuine. It just comes off as not-quite-sincere.

 

[K9_Trainer]

I agree as well, she did sound formal during that "confession" at dinner. I don't really get how she can basically be a recluse with showing and telling how she felt throughout the entire show and then suddenly say it all right there and say it so streightforward and flawlessly.

Anybody else notice that she seemed to become a different person on that last date with the ATV's? Idk, it's just like throughout the whole show she just kind of existed and then all of the sudden she was racing ATV's like a tomboy and showing Brad up.

I wasn't surprised to see Bettina go... Then they showed more clips of Sheena's mother, which I didn't remember seeing, about her saying "Let's get the ring!" Too bad, because I had liked Sheena. LOL. I can't wait for the women tell all episode!!

 

[Naamah]

I thought it was pretty weird that Bettina tried to sell Brad that the only problem her family had with him was that they thought she was really into him, but that they felt like he wasn't into her.

It seemed real clear on the hometown visit that they looked down on him because of his lack of higher education and because he was in the bar business, and Brad seemed pretty peeved about being judged in that way.

I think it's going to be Jennie.

 

[K9_Trainer]

Deffinitly. I was actually suprised he sent Sheena home instead of Bettina after meeting her family. I was expecting Bettina to go because her family obviously disapproved of her being with Brad.

I really don't like the idea of the overnight dates though. I mean, he supposedly slept with all three of those women and he's only going marry one. What's really suspicious is that he kept Bettina despite her family and then sent her home right after the overnight date. It's like he knew he was going to send her home anyway but decided to keep her instead of Sheena just until the overnight date was done because she's "hot".

I really don't see how he can get down to 3 or 4 women and at that point, NOT know which one he likes more and has stronger feelings for. I know I can't seem to like more than one guy at a time, maybe guys are wired different in that aspect or something, idk.

 

[llghoney]

I think he has a attraction to Bettina like he said but not sure of her substance. And let's face it we don't marry the family although it may make it easier to get along but what matters is the 2 of them.

 

[Jenster]

Alllllright ladies! The last episode has aired. Let's DISH!

[I won't dish tonight, though, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.]

 

[Thankful4HIM]

Wow! I can't believe it...

 

[Jenster]

I did NOT see that one coming -- although my roommate did. She said that happened on The Bachelorette once. I was, like, !

So I don't get Brad. He's all "either of these ladies would make a great wife for me...blah, blah, blah..." I mean, I understand what he said at the end (I'm still trying not to spoil this for anyone who hasn't seen it!) about not falling in love. I mean, I respect that, but ...

One thing I did notice -- throughout the final episodes, people kept asking the women if they loved Brad, if they were IN love with him. But no one asked that of Brad... Hm!! I think they shoulda.

 

[RedTulipMom]

shocking! whats up with that? It seemed he was all ready to ask Deanna to marry him, he even said right before she arrived "She is everythign i ever wanted in a woman". It seems that at the moment he was about to ask her he realized he didnt LOVE her and couldn't say it!

i was thinking ...why would he send BOTH home..even if he didnt LOVE either..maybe 6 wks wasn't enough time..why not be honest and say "Hey, i care about you and like you alot, i can't honestly say i am ready to marry you but i do PICK you and want to give you this rose and ask you if you would be willing to continue a relationship with me, dating..and see if it leads to Love and marriage!"

BUT..i think the reason he didnt say that is this..
He freaked out at the last moment and got cold feet and it was a black or white issue for him at that moment..Marry her or say goodbye! he forgot about the GREY area!!

Another possibility..he might have realized AFTER saying goodbye to Jenny that SHE was really the one he wanted!

I will be interested to see his explanation tonight..and keep in mind he has now had the opportunity to see ALL the shows and see the women behind the scenes!

Wow, do you think that's what happened? That he suddenly realized he didn't love her? It's weird; in the limo ride TO the rose ceremony, he said he was confident in his decision and that he was following his heart. After the show I thought, "Was his heart telling him he didn't love either one?"

why not be honest and say "Hey, i care about you and like you alot, i can't honestly say i am ready to marry you but i do PICK you and want to give you this rose and ask you if you would be willing to continue a relationship with me, dating..and see if it leads to Love and marriage!"

Yeah, one of the previous bachelors did that, and it seemed completely appropriate! Why didn't Brad do that?

BUT..i think the reason he didnt say that is this..
He freaked out at the last moment and got cold feet and it was a black or white issue for him at that moment..Marry her or say goodbye! he forgot about the GREY area!!

Hm, good point, RedTulipMoon.

Another possibility..he might have realized AFTER saying goodbye to Jenny that SHE was really the one he wanted!

Ah, poor confused Brad. He did say there was something missing from their relationship, and I did start to feel that at the end. Maybe they couldn't talk as easily as him and Deanna.

I will be interested to see his explanation tonight..and keep in mind he has now had the opportunity to see ALL the shows and see the women behind the scenes!

I may not get to watch it, so please post details!!

 

[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!

i knew that was going to happen last night! interesting ending for sure...... im glad he followed his heart! although.... i still find it odd that he didn't want to atleast continue on dating one but i guess if he knew, then he just knew!

All of Jenni's crying on their last night together was enough to turn anyone off! oh my! (with the journal)
