Emily may be the hottest of them all but she is by far the dumbest and she is devoid of any emotion or character. She has no apparent talents or redeeming qualities and her reluctance to let go of the past will haunt her until the end.
This is a bit harsh. Granted, she isn't going to sit around discussing Descartes but I don't agree that she's stupid. She's perceptive enough to spot the shy guy and see what he's about instead of being hypnotized by all the meatheads and d-bags. And how is she devoid of emotion when she was breaking down when she sent the tow-headed guy off? Is she boring? Sure, no argument there. And she may be a Grade A ##### off camera for all I know but on the show she seems genuinely nice, so she either has a talent for acting or the redeeming quality of being a considerate person.

I will flip it around for you then, what has she done to make you think she has any intelligence at all. Other than getting pregnant by a multi millioniare?

She called the condescending doosh with the bad hair and Napolean syndrome who calls himself a pro athlete "too perfect." Other than that, her perception of him was spot on.
 
i think a pretty damning piece of evidence in the "is she smart/is she not?" conversation is that not one of the bachelors has commented on her intelligence.

there's been plenty of "I'm so lucky to be here with someone as pretty as you" compliments, but in 4 hours of edited television there's nary been a mention of how smart she is (or appears to be).

attractive, boring, and stupid is no way to go through life son.

Well, she seems to be able to carry on a reasonable conversation. You take away her drawl (which I think makes her seem less intelligent than she probably is) and she's relatively well-spoken. She was able to spot the fact that the curly-headed guy really didn't know what he wanted - she didn't just fall for his bull####. That requires some intelligence. Again, she's not going to be curing cancer or solving the problems in the Middle East but to say that she has no intelligence at all is unfair. If she weren't a blond with a thick drawl, it's doubtful you'd even be pinning that on her.

I'm on board with this.I also think that Emily has never pushed herself or had any expectations to do anything other than marry well. She's probably capable of better things, but when you look like that, why bother?

:goodposting: If I got the "don't worry, we'll take care of you" offer from the Hendrick family, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be out there putting in 10 to 12 hour days at the office either.

I'm not watching very closely, but this season has a weird flow to it. Maybe it's because they haven't flown to a new destination every 4 hours. They seem to be doing more normal stuff including her friends and such. Although i saw next week they are off to burmuda or someplace. Emily just doesn't portray any excitment yet these guys are fawning all over her.

 
Man it was really boring last night.

One thing I did learn was that Dollywood looks as boring and dumb as I always imagined it to be.

I don't have much else....

 
I learned women want you to be totally honest and upfront when they grill you for personal information, unless the topic is whether you'll be cool with them ballooning up into fatties after you get married.

Actually I knew this already, but it was one of the few entertaining moments of the night watching mr. phys ed try to squirm his way out of that one.

 
a few observations:

- are you really "excited to be here" when you say it three different times on the same date?

- glad to see Brazilian Cinnamon get run last night.

- proud of Brazilian Cinnamon for getting "honest" and saying what he was thinking about Emily's progeny.

- He's Got Less Game than Me Award: dude who climbs a building in a lightning storm and fails to go in for the kiss, then asks for a kiss at the end of a song.

- apparently skin-tight, size Medium, deep V-neck t-shirts don't improve your passing skills.

- Jerry The Racecar Driver has this all wrapped up. Emily looks at him and sees $$$$ without having to give up much of her life while he's on the road.

- Emily's friends are awful.

- is asking a girl on The Bachelor for a lap dance the same as asking a guy on The Bachelorette to sit on his back while he does shirtless pushups? i think so.

- Worst Date in the World Award: get interviewed by a bunch of hens and then be forced to play with a bunch of kids on a playground while Emily drinks coffee and gossips with said hens.

- does anyone really need 16 oz. of over-oaked Chardonnay in their glass at one time?

- Faux-Patrick Bateman is awesome: "I like hearing you talk, but let me finish." :lmao:

:lmao: You would notice that, wouldn't you? I know exactly what you're talking about...told my wife, "I think they may have overpoured just a bit."

:thumbup: well, it was a 20 oz. stem and there wasn't much room left for any swirling.

 
Arie has to be a lock for the win. I dont see any other dude except for Sean that has a chance. Even with Sean, i still dont see it and think Arie wins this pretty easily.

Ryan is clearly trying the jerk/##### schtick with the constant negging and over-confidence, thinking Emily will eat it up. That stuff works on the girls at the bar and who dont know any better. Probably wouldve worked on that putz Ashley last season though. Cant wait to see the look on his face when he eventually goes.

 
I think Emily is more perceptive/intelligent than people are giving her credit for.

I don't think she has really connected with anyone yet beyond a superficial level. Maybe race car guy.

Also, note to future meatheads on this show. Mentioning that you want to be next season's Bachelor while on the Bachelorette is an automatic disqualification. It doesn't matter if you think God wants you to be the Bachelor, the producers won't after they use your comments to make you look like a turd.
 
Worst season ever?Has to be right?
Worse than dumpy Ashley? No chance.
What makes it an entertaining season for you guys? Every season is the same and the formula never changes. Just curious what the FBG'rs are looking for, that was in a previous season? There's comic value in every episode IMO. I personally like the bachelorette better than the bachelor because its more fun to see a bunch of dudes with the worst game make fools of themselves.
 
The only bit of interest last night for me was the revelation Sean played D-1 football. So I did some googling, found out he played for Kansas State and turns out I've seen him play.

Punter?Man, that cave scene was all kinds of awkward. "Is this Quinoa? It is! IT'S QUINOIA!!!" :excited: :mellow: Emily was a little punchy last night. I think she surprised HarisonBot2.0 a bit with her fiesty, take charge approach.Who is responsible for the fake glasses look? Can we find this person and hang him/her in public? As a man who is forced to wear prescription lenses, Kalen's fake glasses offends and insults me. As a closet homosexual, shouldn't he be able to find better fashion statements than LaBron Frames?
 
I said this to my wife after the first episode this season, and I think I nailed it. Kalen is the

secret love child of Martin Short and Christopher Reeves.

What do you think?

There's really no difference between this season and any other outside of the fact that the Bachelorette is somebody we can all agree is supremely attractive. She's far hotter than any of the other contestants, so we give her a longer rope with regards to her Saltine personality and 8th grade repetitive speech patterns (I KNOW, RIGHT!). The male bimbos are the same brain dead recruits they pull from the pages of J-Crew and Abercrombie and the show's formula hasn't changed a lick (I really like how they make sure to tell us at the end that the night's episode is brought to us by the good people of Travel Bermuda - REALLY? GET OUT OF TOWN! I HAD NO CLUE THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE!). So why is this season entertaining? Why is any season entertaining? Some of us prefer this generic formula to the other crap that is on TV. I shake my head and laugh every time a 'new' hospital drama comes out or they open up a new CSI in Topeka. Network TV is nothing if not predictable and ABC's Bachelor Series strikes a few of us right on the sweet spot. Outside of sports, Frontline and a Pawn show here or there, I don't care for Network TV. It sucks. I think sit-coms are written for booger eating morons who beat off into socks. But I know this series and will keep watching it with my wife because we both like to laugh at the dildos on camera and make fun of them like the two grumpy old judges from The Muppets. And I know what will happen at the end. She'll propose to the male version of Vienna, generating tabloid covers and ratings and water cooler discussion at frame shops around the country begging to know "WHY!!!!?????" and Chris Harrison will host a follow-up show where they will already be in the process of breaking up. The sweet and adorable single dad she leaves twisting in the wind will be the next Bachelor and Emily will raise her little sister Ricky in the biggest, richest mansion in North Carolina, teaching her how to fake tan, mismatch her eyebrows to her hair and talk like that elusive GED is just out of reach.

The problem with her is that her only shtick is dragging her kid into the middle of her search for love fame. And it's way played out already. Beyond that there's nothing interesting about her in any way. She bores me to tears.

You could even say it glows.
