"The Bachelor" on ABC (2 Viewers)

[Dr. No]

If the show really wanted to blow the roof off they should have a gay bachelor and gay bachelorette show

there was a tila tequila "bi" dating show. It was poor.

Don't think the following has happened but they need to do thisHave some hot Asian / black chicksHave a guy who is openly gay to the viewers yet trying to scam the bachelorette by pretending to be straight Has there been a hot Asian or black chick on the show? I think there's been a few that look part Hispanic but what's up with all white all the time? Some of the hottest chicks aren't white.

they know their audience. white women.

Ames seems pretty darn fabulous. Maybe its just the lisp but it seems like he's a fake mustache away from being the construction worker in a Villiage People reboot.

My money would be on Ryan.

Agreed but if Ryan goes off at 3-2 on the gay board, Ames is just behind at 2-1.

Not seeing it. I just this he's devoid of social skills, not gay.Current Gayness Odds:Ryan: evenWilliam: 3/1Blake: 9/2Ben C.: 5/1Mickey: 6/1Nick: 8/1Ames: 10/1Lucas: 11/1Ben F.: 11/1J.P.: 12/1Constantine: 13/1

Current Gayness Odds:Ames: 10/1

I could buy 4-1, maybe even 5-1, but 10-1???

 

[krista4]

Found out a friend of mine went to school with Ames. She says he's an awesome guy, extremely smart, and just a very nice person. They called him "Polite Boy" in school (who says Yalies aren't clever?). Still doesn't outweigh the Hitler youth outfit and the weird eyes, IMO.

He's 2/3 to lock himself out of his Mercedes S65 AMG or 2/1 to eat his own boogers, but that doesn't make him gay.

Multiple Hitler Youth uniforms.

Well shucks. Now I feel bad about cracking on the guy.

So he's even less interesting (for our entertainment purposes) than it seems. Awesome. They're really not giving Pickles much to work with here.

how accurate is "reality steve" at spoiling/forecasting this show?

has he been accurate in the past?

if so i just read his blog and ruined the show for myself.

 

[Otis]

Ames?

I was thinking this plus this.

 

[Otis]

Ashley's a dud

This is the kind of awesome insight we need your blog for.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

He's basically 100% accurate up until the finale. It gets a little hazy after that. Last season, he told everyone that Chantal was the winner. Swore it up and down, and mocked anyone that disputed him. Obviously he screwed that up. Previous to that his vaunted sources told him that Ali was single even though she's still with Roberto to this day. So, pretty darn accurate.He's a little touchy about his accuracy, but it's completely dependent on others telling him things. I don't really see why he's the only guy to get this kind of info, but he seems to be able to leak stuff well in advance of anyone. His commentary about the shows are otherwise pedestrian partially because he obviously has a severe lack of dating experience.

 

[Thread Killer]

And they're really going to torture this girl by bringing Bentley back? Brutal.

I'm hoping it's Brad.

I'm hoping it's Chantal O, and they do some naked kissing and stuff.

Chantal O. + Emily doing the sexy time, Ashley dissolves into a weeping puddle of hairspray and fake eyelashes.

Harrison was complicit in this little charade, so he has to get some bad press no matter how much he and Ashley text each other now (true story) as good buddies after the fact.

You're kidding right?

If you can stomach Ryan Seacrest, it's from a radio interview here.Toward the latter part of the interview: "She's been texting me like crazy."

Seeing those two walk off arm in arm prior to the rose ceremony last episode was... weird.

All I can think as I watch this mess is that this particular episode is rife with material for Pickles.

 

[Walton Goggins]

I would LOVE for all the guys to just get up and leave. If one of these guys doesn't think "I'm trading DOWN if I get this girl" they have to either be gay or live in a place where there's no women interaction.

I love how Ashley keeps saying "I'm just a normal girl and want you to see that" as if she's some 10.

 

[Walton Goggins]

And what's up with most of these guys who look like they live in a gym hitting like girls? Popcorn muscles.

 

[krista4]

I love how Ashley keeps saying "I'm just a normal girl and want you to see that" as if she's some 10.

This was particularly noticeable tonight. Ack.

 

[Walton Goggins]

This is also showing that you treat an insecure woman like total crap, she'll be begging for your affection. She looks beyond pathetic and this is the kind of stuff even women don't want to see. I would love for her to keep telling the guys about Bentley then all the guys just say F it, walk up and leave and see her reaction. Bentley's ego must be going through the roof although this has to be scripted since she is such a dud.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Ashley "Guys I am sorry but it's not fair to you, I am still thinking about Bentley and I can't forget about him and I need closure. I'm just a normal girl and I want you to really see that so what I want to.."

(All the guys get up and start walking off)

Ashley "Ahhh wait, guys, where are you going?

One of the gay dude: "Seriously, you aren't a 10, not even a 7 and I'm freaking done! Good lord you suck balls...in a bad way."

Ashley: "Wait, come back! I was just kidding!! OMG I love all you guys cause you are rejecting me!!!!!"

My daughters and wife usually love this show..they can`t stand watching bow-legged Ashley walking around. Horrible blunder by the producers. Seems like all the guys hate her too, half of them did not even hug her after getting a rose. They had to resort to kick boxing to stir up some interest.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I'm this close to writing a letter to the production team. THIS CLOSE.

 

[3 out of 5]

The boxing kangaroo. For the crap source material, your blog is still fantastic.Spot on right here:

The real idiocy of this situation is that Harrison could end this whole mess by just showing her five seconds of Bentley on tape. It's not like he's still on the show... he left. Instead, he carries out this fake dilemma about how to resolve this situation. All he'd have to say to her is "trust me, he doesn't like you. Move the hell on."

What I hate about this show:

- The guys’ superlatives for every situation: “best date in my life”, “Most awe-inspiring place I’ve been to in my life” Haven’t these guys ever been out of the house before?

- Ashley’s (and every Bachelorette’s) hypocrisy – “I need you guys to be completely open and honest with your feelings. In return, I will string you along, lie about how much I like you and struggle to find some positive angle on you so that the viewers think you might have a chance. “

- The boringness of the guys. So the guys who are not on dates sit around a hotel with cameras on them… and yet in all this time, there’s nothing interesting enough to put on the show? The editors are struggling to fill up 2 hours of content (witness that golf lesson) and not a single guy can say or do something witty? C’mon.

- The premise that this set of guys would be fighting over this girl. I’m willing to suspend a large amount of disbelief for most reality shows, but clearly, the joke is on the viewer.

What I like about this show:

- Mocking everything above

 

[ODoyleRules]

Love the blog. Highlights:

"Don't get me wrong, I think Ben is a decent guy, but he's about as exciting as a can of diet Sprite."

"Of course this was before I heard about Lucas and his extensive street fighting history. Once I knew Lucas was such a bad-### brawler I was like, ####, this guy will eat these amateurs for lunch. You know what Lucas was doing while Ames was studying for the SAT? Street fighting. Which of course explains why Lucas was easily dispatched by a dentist."

I would pay to see Ashley get knocked out.

 

[Dentist]

Blake, DDS had his highlight episode last night. Nice performance pwning that one dude, getting more on-screen time than he's been used to, getting a rose, a kiss, and spouting some actual logic to Ashley.

I still think he gets bounced in 1-2 episodes and he should be happy he made it that far.

Sadly, no dental dialogue yet that they've shown.

The guy is just too reserved to make it in this type of a show.

I know his exact type. He only made it though the casting on this show because he was a dentist and is a decent looking guy. Otherwise he doesn't fit the profile of someone who's going to be irrational, fall in love at first site, go to the effort of competing with 15+ other dudes just to win her over, etc.

I wonder how much trim these guys pull post-show. It has to do wonders for your ###-getting career.. even though most of these guys have decent enough social standing and looks that they are probably doing well anyway.

 

[dhockster]

Hey, just curious: Do you think any of the remaining guys on the show are anti-dentites?

 

[Dentist]

you know, for having 1 almost dentist (who will never practice much) and 1 real dentist, they have played down that entire angle big time.There's been a few quips here and there about dentistry, but overall i've been vastly disappointed.I'm this close to writing the production team a letter to ask which of THEM are anti-dentites.I want the ADA involved.

 

[Gr00vus]

I had a hard time detecting the difference between normal Ames and concussed Ames.

Also it was great seeing this idiot kick a guy off the show because some other guy told her bad things about him, before she even attempted to give him a chance to explain. Then kick the stoolie off as well. She's terrible. I can't believe her incredibly poor decision to subject these guys to literal physical violence for her amusement didn't give at least one of these dudes pause about what a moron she is. "Hey, I really care about you all, now go perform dangerous martial arts to compete for my love." Awesome judgement there - that'd get a big FU from me to any chick attempting to pull that stunt. That these guys continue to stick around is proof that they're absolute chumps or have agendas other than actually ending up with this clown.

The only winner last night was captain caveman. He got to go shopping and eat amongst the flowers, doing it all in his own awesome monotone idiom. The giddiness was indeed palpable.

I would love for once show a guy out in a foreign country boozing it up and hooking up with some local Thai ho's then watch the drama ensue. Then he could flat out lie to her and say everyone is just jealous and did nothing wrong. At least it would put the focus on you and definitely get you on the Bachelor Pad and make additional money from it.I would love to get on this show only because I haven't seen a number of things happen yet that I would like to see and if you are going to pull some stunts why not go 100%? I was thinking Bently would be this guy then he bailed. Then again it's probably all scripted since all you see are guys hanging out inside their hotel room in exotic places and you think why aren't they exploring a city they gush over on camera then stay inside the whole time except on "dates".

 

[YSR]

At first I just found her boring and mildly annoying. I'm now to the point where I actively loathe her.

 

[offdee]

That Aames elevator kiss was no doubt one of the most awkward things I've ever witnessed. That dude is such a dork.

I'd also like to hit Ryan across the face with a dragon boat paddle.
