It would be a great shakeup of the show if Bentley was the next Bachelor.
I would pay cash money to watch this.
Honestly how could they not do that at this point? The dude is money. Money money money. I loved that the night before Ashley questioned him about leaving early, he blows it off, leaves the next day and she still hasnt caught on.

Ashley is a needy girl with incredible low self esteem. I didnt think the roast that will did was that bad.

 
Need to get caught up on the ol' Picklesblog.In the meantime, caught my first episode of this the other night. Ashley is a disaster. I love how Bentley is tearing her up, and in the coming attraction for this week, they show another guy making her cry. Has this show ever seen a girl the guys are less interested in? Could be great shtick. Although I'm amazed that some of these nerds keep talking about how hot she is.Also when she started talking about how difficult it was to see all the public criticism she got during the show last year, how many of you guys also pictured her doing a Google search and ending up in the FFA and reading this thread and crying into a bowl of Haagen-Dazs?
Ashley was a horrible choice..
She may be 5ft, low self esteem, no knockers, horrible tat, painted eye brows and kisses just about anyone. Yeah she is an abyssal choice. They missed the boat by not locking up Chantel or that funeral director.

They really need to do a spinoff. As Pickles so aptly observes, most of the 18-34 female, "I believe in one true love" crowd wouldn't go for it. But the guys in this thread, plus the cynical old bats like me, would love to watch a season or two of "The Dickmitten".
 
Just finished tonight's episode.

Ashley makes me embarrassed for females as a whole. Never has there been a more desperate, low self-esteem, and needy Bachelorette.

There were two guys who got roses tonight--Blake and Lucas--who I feel certain have not been on the show before tonight.

Most importantly, I might have internally poo-poo'd Pickles's earlier prediction on JP in the finale, but I'd call it too based on this episode. The only time our girl Ashley actually seemed comfortable. If she can get over the idea that she wants only what she can't have, this is going to be her guy.

How moon-faced, absence-of-personality Constantine continues to fascinate her is beyond me. Maybe it's the floppy hair.

I hope Picklesnotes will address the issue of Ames's too-tight shirts.

Bentley should definitely get a show.

I don't understand why he didn't hang on for one or two more weeks.... the cool international trips were getting ready to start.

My man Blake is starting to step it up a bit and I'm seeing him make a deeper run. He was solid at the comedy show and the previews make it look like he's getting ready to blossom.

:dentist:

 
I haven't been watching because it's Ashley. What did the Bentley guy do? I read his bio and he sounds pretty dorky.

Bachelor Bio

What is the most outrageous thing you have ever done? Drove 40 hours straight.

What is your most embarrassing moment? Tripped down a bowling lane on a date.

Describe your idea of the ultimate date? Visiting a new place with great views and a great temperature.

Seems like the produces are doing everything they can to mess with her. Hmmm, what's a good idea for this season? How about get all her dates to pelt her with insults? Yeah, that would be great. Have our little insecure bachelorette get ripped apart by the guys she's supposed to fall in love with.

Tune in next week when Ashley takes the bachelors to a beauty contest where they point out women who really turn them on.

Bentley bored me to tears. He looked like a washed up Reality TV cast-off the entire time, with the requisite facial stubble and that odd, low-pitched mumble talk with drawn out 'whaaaaaaaaats' and 'buuuuuuuuuuuuuts' when talking to females. I didn't find him witty or interesting in the slightest. There are at least 8 other dudes on the show I'd go gay for before picking him...and that includes the Cell Phone Salesmen. Guess I'm not seeing the genius in old Bentley.

And that scene at the end with Bentley and Phantom Jeff faux pooping was about the dumbest segment I've ever seen in TV and I watched Cop Rock.

Anybody else catch that big tub of Vasoline on Ashley's bedside table when she ran to her room for a cry? :unsure:

Some girls look really cute in glasses. Ashley is not one of those girls.

That roast was painful. Pretty sure that segment madeThe Situation uncomfortable. Though I did enjoy Kiosk Will's hubris leading him to believe this was his big audition for one day roasting a celebrity. That was about as close as we get to a real life version of Michael Scott. I was serverely disappointed that William's wander down the mean streets didn't lead him into a tattoo parlor where he purchased a matching wrist tat to redeem himself.

This series is pretty lame.

 
Bentley had the best shtick of any dude ever on the show...big fan.

Ashley is a trainwreck, but I would be into her in the short term. In the long term, way too insecure.

Pretty confident I've got more game than most of the guys left...the place is tool central.

You strike me as a William type.

Damn it, I knew I should have put in a full application.

Aames is painful to look at. Such a nerd.
I missed an ep or two, but I assume someone has mentioned that he looks like an overgrown Oompa Loompa?
Has anyone mentioned they never keep his face on the screen more than .8 seconds?I'm pretty sure he was a character in the bar scene from the original Star Wars.
 
The mention of them only showing Ames for .8 seconds at a time is spot on. I DVR'd last night and the wife and I actually paused a screenshot of Ames to dissect the weird shape of his head. It's really square, huge forehead, eyes spaced far apart, and it looks like he has Dirk's white mouthpiece in.

To have a Yale and Harvard degree, the guy just oozes "I'm a little slow."

I hate that it's week 3, and I'm already losing interest. I don't like any of these guys (kinda like wine guy Ben), and I don't like Ashley. All so boring and predictable.

cellphone salesman...um, no.

Ashley's a dud, and I think the producers realized this early on. They found a way to resurrect Bentley later in a desperate attempt to salvage some drama and audience share. People don't really want to see a weak lead on this show. The other 25 should be flawed, but the lead has to at least be confident. Ashley is pretty much a mess. Thy also had better options even if Chantal wasn't available. Shawntel, Madison, Michelle, or even Jackie would have been better picks. In some cases much better. People were already tired of Ashley's lack of confidence last season. Why would they want to see it again this season?I have a feeling this will get really bland as it winds down to the finale. But I'll keep slogging through it. Recent google search referral to the blog: "bentley salt lake city family fun center" :thumbup:
 
"In retrospect, things might have been different if Emily was the Bachelorette." Please make this guy the next Bachelor.
If they want to go out in a blaze of glory, maybe.Personally, I think it would be disappointing. He barely says anything, and what he does say is borrowed surfer shtick.

He's slayed the bachelorette...just think of what he could do to 25 women that are even more desperate than Ashley.
 
The unmasking was shocking. I thought maybe his eyebrows would be a little thicker than they were, but, nay, they were slightly thinner than I anticipated. I just sat there, slack-jawed, as I stared into the easily extrapolated face of Jeff, who, only a precious few moments prior, wore a mask that covered up a small portion of his face. Eat that, Geraldo.

i'm pretty sure he got insta-eliminated upon mask removal.ash's comment: "he's older than i thought" bad.his scene of reading the newspaper to bentley while unloading a huge dump... awesome though.
 
If they did bring Bentley in to be the new Bachelor, he would have to swear an oath that he was there for the Right Reasons. Maybe even steal a page from Brad's book and have his therapist be a side character to show that He's Learned So Much About Himself.

In short, while I still think it would be awesome to have him there as he is, in order for the target Bachelor audience to buy into it he would have to squeeze himself into ABC's cookie cutter.

It's obvious they've set this up so he and Michelle can have some drama on the upcoming bachelor pad season. Ratings gold there.

That was bizarre. He showed more personality the one minute outro to the show than he did in everything else I saw of him.
Oddly enough, this could apply to either of those two in the final scene. Bentley was great, but only because of the way Ashley reacted to him. Otherwise, I completely concur with the idea that the dude was a complete bore. And that "dot dot dot" scene... "I'm so, like...", "It's just that, like...", "I mean, it's like, it's not that I, like, don't LIKE you like you..." I'll never understand why everything had to become a similie for the under-35 crowd. That very well could have been the most pathetic scene in the history of television, and that's true on several levels.I don't think I've laughed so much at an episode of this show, but I must confess that I wasn't doing it for the right reasons. I told my wife before the roast that there's going to one guy that cares more about getting the laugh than he does about publicly eviscerating our noble heroine and, of course, it had to be Mr. Funnyman. I've heard Jeff Ross on several podcasts before and he always makes the point that roasts should be left up to the professionals. I don't think his point could be made any clearer than this episode made it for him. I do think, however, that Ryan should have been left out to dry a little longer on his roast clip:

Ryan: "And Bentley, what was up with that rose ceremony???"

Bentley: :confused:

Audience: :mellow:

Ryan: :blush: "So anyway..."

The "What's up with..." joke series claims yet another victim.

I also agree with whomever said that Bentley should be the Bachelor only if they are going to end this thing because for it to work, he'll have to come back as Evil Bentley and that's not what the Haagen Das and sweatpants crowd tunes in for.
