C'mon.... he did play triple A baseball.Also, they had a pretty low standard for field naming out there. I was expecting to hear that her grandpa was a 3 sport star who later played football at UT or something. He was the local sporting goods store owner.

Kacie B: Seems like well-liked, good character person
Courtney: Seems like spoiled child who only cares about herself, and therefore, has no friends
Kacie B's parents: Seem like strict, hold their kids accountable type parents
Courtney's parents: Seem like permissive, do anything for princess type parents

I'm writing in this thread for the first time ever because I'm so extremely disappointed in each and every one of you for failing to discuss the single greatest moment of this week's episode.
Watched this one on the DVR with my wife 24 hours after it aired and fully expected a solid page of jokes about the following:
First hometown date lands Ben at the horse ranch owned by LindZi's parents, the Cox. After a nice glass of chilled Chardonnay, Mr. and Mrs. Cox challenge Blindzi to a carriage race around some cone lined obstacle course. All in good fun, right?
Mr. Cox: Ben, the only rule is that I insist upon trash talking before the race.
Ben: Ohhh hoo! I'm not sure about that, I just met you Harry!
Harry Cox. Almost unbelievable, but even worse considering that if you rewind to when Ben first pulls up in the carriage, Mr. Cox says, "hi Ben, I'm Mark (that wasn't it, but can't recall his name), but you can call me Harry." So he PREFERS Harry Cox, or at least for people to call him that. Nuts.

Ben is completely ####ed. Courtney has this #### in the bag.

"Hey, I was a dork in high school!"
The only reason why I truly believe he prefers to be called Harry, is that after he said "hello Ben, my name is Mark, but you can call me Harry," Ben responded with "that's what I hear!"Lindzi had clearly brought Ben up to speed on the fact that her dad goes by Harry Cox prior to his trip to her hometown, so it seems as though she wanted to avoid a Meet the Fokkers-type situation. "Wait, your name is Gaylord Fokker? Gay Fokker?"

That's about par for the course. The preview after the last episode tried to make it seem like there was some bombshell coming (like they always do), but of course, it will be completely underwhelming. Her coming back would fit the bill nicely. They're trying whatever they can to inject some drama into this mess but Courtney is Secretariat at the Belmont.
i found it kind of funny that 3 of the 4 girls get to do something "fun" with Ben while also meeting the parents....
horse racing
boots and hats
picnic/mock wedding
Kacie: sitting in the bleachers in the rain
all this after proclaiming when she first sees Ben "I have so many surprises for you"....I realize there is some serious editing going on, but they really tipped their hat about who was leaving by making Kacie's date seemed doomed from the beginning..
also the show totally edited the way the date went with Courtney as he had the fake wedding ring on while at the parents house.....not after...

No Pickles yet this week? Has he thrown in the towel on this season's trainwreck?
3 out of 5
Footballguy
I'm sure its getting harder and harder to come up with a lot. None of the people left are giving him much because they are all kind of boring people, outside of Courtney. And she's been heavily covered from the start.Frankly, each time Pickles is able to put a new blog out, I'm more and more impressed.

Is there any doubt he's picking Courtney?
It's honestly going to be the best thing, he's gotten so popular he's gonna get a ton of ### with all the #####es coming to his winery for a taste and a chance to "console" the idiot guy that got played.

So basically every date is a helicopter tour now?

He is so picking Courtney. To have at least 3 women (Emily, Nikki, and Kacie B.) bring up problems with Courtney, and it
doesn't change his mind about her means he's picking her.
I really want to see him interviewed after he picks Courtney and they end up breaking up.
"I don't know what happened, I really thought she was the one". Idiot.

I'm moving toward the camp that is saying that he is doing all of this simply to drum up recognition for his fledgling wine business. He is choosing Courtney because he knows it will never work out. He had no intention of marrying any of these broads, so if he chooses the one that he knows won't work out, he is home free. In the meantime, maybe he gets a piece off Courtney before they break up.
Why else would this moron keeping choosing Courtney despite all of the warnings about her that he has gotten over the past several weeks?

I would bet he already has.

So he basically will have messed with 25 women, including a few who will have their hearts broken, all to market his business? I'm not saying itis not true, just that he is one cold blooded dude, if that is true.
SecondCity34
Footballguy
Maybe initially he thought he could possibly marry one of these chicks, but I think after the first 3 or 4 weeks he said "the hell with it" and figured he may as well promote his wine business since he is not interested in spending the rest of his life with any of these broads.
Nigel Tufnel

It's not hard to fall in love when every date takes place on an alpine monolith. Maybe these would work out more often if the courtship phase took place in something resembling reality. Ben doesn't even know if any of these broads can cook or not.

"I have a special group date planned for you girls today. One of you gets to clean and iron my shirts! Another one of you will work on getting the streaks out of my underwear! A third lucky lady will get to clean pee stains and facial hair stubble in my bathroom! And finally one special woman will get an amazing opportunity to wait on me and some buddies as we sit around and watch football"
Ray Karpis

That's been the consistent theme of me and my wife's conversations about this show over the past several years.You go on these perfect, once-in-a-lifetime dates...every week. Who can't at least develop some warm feelings in that environment?Then, suddenly they're in a regular, day-to-day routine with someone they barely know. Shocking the series is batting .055 on couples staying together.

that. Ben is one of those guys who never dated the head cheerleader in HS (like many i would guess) and is using this opportunity to choose the hottest chick on the show while promoting Envolve Wines. (note: his winery changed from "Evolve" to "Envolve" between his time on "The Bachelorette" and his stint as "The Bachelor". interesting.) throw in the fact that Courtney is down for coitusing at any time, and is also on the show to promote her acting career, and it's a "win/win" for both of them. they'll split up in August, and Ben can get his face on the cover of People and US Weekly right before Harvest 2012. should help sell a few more cases.
too bad they don't have a tasting room to really cash in on the hype.
Ray Karpis
Footballguy
Has to be just a matter of time don't you think?Will be in Sonoma in May...if he opens a tasting room, I may hand-deliver a leather bound copy of Pickles' blog from this season.
Or getting Ben to pose with my FBG logo hat would be...well, epic.
Quint

i think a tasting room would be in order. with a production of about 4500 cases (with 2900 of that under a second label) i think it would make sense to try to move some wine direct to consumer. but with the popularity of "The Bachelor," the wine club may take up a good chunk of the production. Ben's been out and about in Sonoma recently, doing winemaker dinners and pourings at different wine shops. who knows, you might see him when you get out in May.
(also, if you want to do some wine tasting on your trip send me a PM. i'll pour you some wine and get you the FBG hookup.)

Haven't seen any spoiler alerts or anything else......so here are the predictions.........
Courtney wins this going away - similar to a 1-9 shot in a horse race
Courtey turns down his marriage proposal - just to give some more spice to the "After the Final Rose" clip and all the girls can say..."I told you so"
Kacie is the next Bachelorette after Emily - she is a hometown girl and the show finally realizes that you can't have every date on a mountain top or in the tropics. They bring more of the dates to her hometown and do normal things. (O.K.....this is a far-fetched one)

You did take that whole baby hiatus for a while, so those months should be cut out of any averages. Think you have the stomach for Emily's Bachelorette? After all, she had Ashley pump her up and give her advice. What could go wrong?I'm up to about $50 over the lifetime of this blog. I can only cash a check at $100.

What.. No comments on last night :shuked:
The best part of last night had to be Emily being ready to bust out of that top... no pun intended..
I wonder when that was taped? I am guessing after the whole thing was over and all of the spoilers are out, but I wonder how long ago? After last night, after the final rose is going to be a glorious train wreck!
Pickles, was bored yesterday and gave you a ton of ad clicks.. you are probably upto $ 50.50 by now....

These episodes are hilarious. Without fail the girls no one remembers even being on the show talk the loudest and most often. I also like how the front row girls (Kacie B., Emily, and Nicki) all seem to have gotten together and agreed to act like they are now really relieved they didn't get picked and that they want nothing to do with Ben. :tryingtoohard:Blakely is just dumb. No two ways about it...her IQ is probably mid-90s at best.Did the awkward girl that split her dress really say, "I still want to get to know you" to Ben last night? My theory...Ben picked Courtney. He saw how much of a #### she looked like on the show, realized everyone hates her, and made her go on the show last night and try to repair her image by groveling. Another Oscar-worthy performance by Courtney...59.93. Not bad for two years of work. I'll definitely write up The Women Tell All. That chihuahua line was just scathing.
...that was so contrived and insincere. Emily's bewbs were the star of the show. They aren't anything spectacular, but the rest of the episode seemed to gravitate around them last night. I couldn't look away. My wife punched me because I kept commenting on them.

No doubt. Part of me wanted to feel bad for her, but I just didn't buy it.Another Oscar-worthy performance by Courtney...

She's slow, for sure. Samantha seems like she might be the dull knife of the drawer, though.Monica makes me laugh. It's too bad they spent all of their time molding her into Jenna's nemesis. She could have really messed up Courtney's game if they played their cards right.'Ray Karpis said:
