"The Bachelor" on ABC (1 Viewer)

[offdee]

Free $30k ring + free $100k wedding. Well done.

 

[McGarnicle]

God told them to have the wedding live on ABC.

 

[Rohn Jambo]

My money would be on Desiree, but AshLee would be a wild ride.

We'll find out in a minute....

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I love how Sean thinks the key to this working is dogged determination and the will to shove it down America's throat. Easy, big guy. You don't need to prove anything here. And trust me: god couldn't care less about your failed TV relationship.

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Why the big rush? Are they virgins or something?

Unless it's Selena Gomez, I don't care.

Sean is a born-again virgin. He said he'd like to go straight to the courthouse right now, and I believe him. All the tears are because he hasn't gotten any ### in years.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Desiree's brother part of the 25?

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Desiree's brother part of the 25?

He is a vey smart guy. If Sean had any feelings for his sister then he wouldn't let his rudeness break them up. Do you have any sisters you can try it on?

So do any of you dudes watch the Bachelorette as well?

I don't really see the point. 98% of the appeal is watching the girls get all emotional over something so silly (plus most of them are hot). 25 meatheads fighting for sloppy 2nds seems pretty gross.

I watch it for the hoodies, V-necks and helicopters.

 

[PIK95]

Anyone else notice that the Neil lane wasn't on the ring box during the replay?

Every season.

So why?

The only appeal is the handful of complete trainwreck dudes, like the one who kept saying he would "guard and protect her heart", or the country singer who only wanted the exposure and openly stated he wasn't interested in the woman, or the dude who wore the mask 24/7. Once it gets down to the true believers, it's unwatchable. The concept makes even less sense than the Bachelor with the sexes reversed.

 

[McGarnicle]

Every season.

He pays for the one product placement in that moment only, so the show is under no obligation to play it again. Plus it makes you think of the brand again when you notice it's gone.

 

[Mister Martie]

Sean and AshLee disagreeing on whether he said he wasn't into the other two girls during the overnight -- awkward.

He was totally lying about never having said that. Just look at his body language during that.

Agreed. If what she was saying was a lie then he would've gotten angry about her impugning his integrity. Remember how he reacted to Dez's brother. insteadall he could do was smile and say I didn't say that.

Yep. Dude was flat busted.

I'm not so sure. He's going to call out a guy on national TV, but I doubt he was going to call out a girl. He's gone out of his way to always compliment the girls and not throw them under the bus.His reaction to me was one of, "WTF did she just say?"

I thought he did a great job of apologizing for something he didn't say to not make her look bad on TV.

And she's just crazy enough to twist something she thought she heard into something she thinks actually happened because of all the pain she went through. She hasn't been married for 15 years for a reason folks.

I agree with this. It seems like a strange thing for him to say on that day, as we saw he was clicking with the other girls. Unless he really was trying to sleep with AshLee in the fantasy suite, it's an odd thing for him to say at that point. He might be less than intelligent, but he has shown to be as much a gentleman as you can expect on these shows. He already knows he hurt AshLee and he wasn't going to attack her over this accusation. It probably was just a misunderstanding of a woman hearing what she wants to hear. I thought he handled it about as well as possible.

Me, three. My wife thinks Ashlee is telling the truth. I think she's a nutty and heard what she wanted to hear. He probably was slightly intoxicated and said more than he meant to, but I seriously doubt he said felt nothing for the other two girls. His reaction seemed pretty genuine given the circumstances...especially after seeing the "off-air" conversation.

Me 4. No way he said that. He knew he was going to ice her so I don't really see why he would tee her up like that. He wasn't getting laid no matter what he said so I'm not buying that either. I think he clammed up because he didn't want her to stab him on national TV.

I never have. Because I like Des, I'll probably at least watch the last few episodes. No way I'm going to sit through watching all the dbags early on.

 

[Shrugs]

It's a good thing Sean hadn't just proposed to Lindsay when the letter arrived. That would have been awkward.

 

[pantherclub]

That last episode for constantly showed how horrid Lindsays tats are for whatever reason. It seemed like every shot the camera angle either picked up on the stupid writing on her hand or the anchor(?) on her foot.

 

[McGarnicle]

I think he told Catherine he was picking her. If you listen to their conversations on their final date, they are practically talking about china patterns and what religion they will raise the kids. The producers made him say he hadn't decided until the very end.

I like how they depicted him being completely clueless as to what he'll do right up until the day he has to propose, and then he's suddenly certain.That finale was amaz

I found her extremely annoying in the finale. She is one of those girls who thinks it is really cute to make certain voice inflections and facial expressions like a 10-year-old. Reminds me of Kelly from 90210, except I really wanted to nail her.And yeah, horrible tats. That could very well have been the dealbreaker if it really was that close.

Without hearing her speak, you could glean how dumb she is just from seeing those two tats.

to be fair, Sean seems like he is a couple IQ points from separating the recyclables as well.

And now he moves on to Dancing with the stars. Good thing he doesn't need a job to pay for the wedding.

 

[Gr00vus]

Hey, is this the first time a non-caucasian has "won" this thing?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

It's a good thing Sean hadn't just proposed to Lindsay when the letter arrived. That would have been awkward.

Why would the producers ask Catherine to wrote a hokey letter if she wasn't winning?

 

[McGarnicle]

It's interesting when you think about it -- the show pays for the ring and the wedding, and your first meeting and courtship were part of a reality show. I'll bet they kick in for the honeymoon too. If this is me and I end up going through with the wedding, I would think at some point it would dawn on me, holy crap, my life is built on a foundation of complete and utter horse ####. Ignorance is bliss baby.

 

[CurlyNight]

I never heard her say to him she loves him last night at all. All she said was oh my gosh 10 times. She doesn't look "so in love" imo. The guy gushes all over her and she doesn't really respond verbally or visually. We'll see about this abc wedding coming up!

 

[Aerial Assault]

Sean/Catherine: meh.

Desiree as The Bachelorette. Ugh. Do not want.

 

[EYLive]

Woah, you guys are really bitter. Did life take a dump on your chest or something? How long have you people been sour ########s?

 

[Gr00vus]

Agree. She might be worse than the one prior to Emily. Not must see t.v. for me. Hopefully Pickles blogs this one to make it interesting.

 

[butcher boy]

Reality Steve already has a bunch of bachelorette cast member bios before they even left to start filming. We'll probably know who wins by this weekend.

After watching this season, I do not see how Emily could be Sean's type at all.

They should take a page from the Seinfeld book and do the whole season backwards.

Never got this at all but there seems to be a faction here that brands every Bachelor/Bachelorette a moron.

Do any of the past say 5 strike you as the intelligent kind?

 

[jwp]

I have an in-law that is about to be on the new Bachelorette season. They start filming in the beginning of March and it ends the beginning of May. Supposedly airs this summer. :wheelhouse:

Which one is he?

So did Sean and what's her name tie the knot yet? I thought they were getting married today?

hard to root for the dental student this time around.... he seemed pretty #####-y showing up in the white coat was horribly bad form.

did he make the day 1 cut?

Poor enough for us to dub in engine knocking noises as her 10 year old Honda Civic pulled up to the mansion in Malibu.

Nope, gone.Is this the biggest group of tools they've ever had? I felt embarrassed for pretty much all of them the entire time.They have one black guy and he's whiter than me!

I watched about 30 min of this and felt the same way.. the tool factor was off the charts.

I mean, i know they want drama, but i feel like they are putting things at risk of being too "jersey shore" / "white trash"

generally speaking the programming is pretty trashy, but at least with mostly classy individuals who have been fairly successful in life.

But showing clips of fistfights is heading down the slippery slope to MTV type of stuff

Those fist fights are obviously not real. Probably some stupid date of them making an action commercial or something.

a few thoughts:

- i wonder which apology worked better: glasses on, or glasses off?

- #putabulletinmybrain

- Dez' central incisors remind me of Tic-Tacs.

- pint-sized RedBull vodkas + dragging Dez to Fantasy Suite = early exit #kindarapey

- i haven't seen a child pimped like that since Emily spent her entire season "being a good mom"

- "Hi. My mom's had a boatload of substance abuse issues and gave me this token of her sobriety. Now I know we've said 10 words to each other, but I want you to have this coin so I can try and guilt you into keeping me around for hometown dates, and then you can give it back to her. I promise: it won't be very awkward at all."

- Magician? how about Magican't

- according to my wife, Juan Pablo is "hot," and that's why Dez was making "my downstairs is kinda squishy" noises every time she saw or talked to him.

- my money's on the War Vet
