"The Bachelor" on ABC (3 Viewers)

[Zegras11]

If you don't want the guy cutting in on your emotional diabetes story, man up and say you need a couple minutes to finish telling her something. Is there some rule that if you are tagged out you have to go?

Yeah. I'm not sure of the wording of the rule, but there's a rule.

I'm waiting for a Bachelor/Bachelorette to institute a rule. Whomever does will instantly become the G-O-A-T in my eyes.

Suggested Rule - Have a timer - for effect, something cool, like THIS, which could also get marketing $ for the show. Guy/girl with rose picks another contestant to have time with Bachelor/ette and starts timer. Contestant gets 1-on-1 time until timer goes off, at which point he/she gets to pick the next contestant to have time. This solves 2 problems. They know how much time they have, so they wrap up the awkwardness quicker, and douches like Ben and Tierra from last season will have to learn to play nice or never get 1-on-1 time.

Not a bad idea...

My idea is just to put all the names in a bowl and she picks them randomly after each talk and then no one ever freaks out.

Mr. Pickles, I have some news for you.First the bad news:Tim Tebow turned down Chris Harrison's offer to be the next BachelorAnd the good news:He wants to be available to play for the New England Patriots

Gotta hand it to Tebow.... the guy has a lot of patience and is Brady's #1 fan.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Haven't watched in a while. Is John Lackey still around?

 

[Jayrok]

One of the guys booted last night was a cryer. He cried when the other guy got busted by his girlfriend who came on the show and outed him.

After the rose ceremony he said he had no more tears left to cry. Guess by now he's back on the island of misfit toys.

Random thoughts from last night's episode:

- Check out the guy digging deep for a boog while standing behind Brandon in the kitchen as Brandon's reflecting on all the father figures that disappeared from his life while growing up. Good stuff.

- Shirtless guy Zak from the first episide is coming around. I would have never predicted that.

- Brandon simply had to go as his desperation was way too heavy. I ended up not even being able to stand it so I can't imagine how it made Des feel.

- My money on the pair most likely to end up together at the end of this show are Brad and Drew. Odds are good that they're not being honest about their sexuality.

- My wife couldn't love Juan Pablo any more.

- Federal prosecuter guy is a toolbox. I love how worked up all these clowns get about Ben wanting to spend time with a chick that he's trying to woo. They act as if Ben is violating the well defined Time Restriction as detailed in the Bachelorette Code of Conduct that they all adhere to.

- Amazing.

 

[McGarnicle]

As I no longer watch this show, any of you still watching are flaming homosexuals, not that there's anything wrong with that. Just a reminder. Enjoy.

Ben is a bit annoying to me, but that prosecutor guy and Mikey the plumber are being drama queens about it. Prediction: None of the 3 make the hometown dates.

we're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.

Especially the bolded. My wife is in love with him as well.

Interferes with recording The Real Housewives?

 

[krista4]

I just finished last week's and am about to fire up this week's. A few observations:

-Brooks is dreamy.

-The military guy would be OK-looking with a better haircut. She also seems to be way into him for some reason, perhaps his dearth of IQ points. I think he'll go far.

-The rest of them range from barely average to yucky. Poor Dez.

-I assume Drew is the token gay guy this year.

-Speaking of tokens, was the black guy even IN the second episode?

-Why do they insist on tarting up the Bachelorettes? She doesn't need the triple-eyelashes and heavy makeup.

-It is hard to watch four hours of this in a row.

Seriously. After that cowboy stunt date, I was ready and willing to take it up the butt from him. What a hunky Latin man.

I'm not understanding the Juan Pablo love. Mrs. Koby doesn't either.

Don't be jealous, Mr. Boring.

I was under the impression that men have hair on their bodies.

 

[koby925]

I hadn't heard more than 5 words from each of the guys she booted last night and certainlynot any "connection" - yet somehow both guys cried at losing love

 

[Henry Ford]

I think they should have a whole season with just guys who have back hair.

 

[jwp]

A date touring a disaster area, I wonder who the genius was that thought that up?

 

[(HULK)]

Dez is like a taller Katie Holmes, without the Scientology baggage. So hot.

She really loves to mention that she grew up poor though. Its like at least twice an episode.

 

[oso diablo]

i thought that segment was a home run.

They should have given Manny a fantasy suite card to give to Jan.

a few thoughts:

- not sure which is more pathetic: writing a poem to Des, singing the 2nd half of a song to Des, or using the letters of Des' name to tell her about her best qualities.

- What Not To Do On a Dating Show, Part 40: "Hey, I've had a really great time traipsing all over storm-ravaged Seaside Heights, so I wanted you to know that I cheated on my first love and feel pretty bad about it. So bad, in fact, that it actually broke my heart and now I'm ready to love again. I will now kiss you awkwardly and aggressively."

- "Women should not look at guys and just think about them as meat-heads and dudes who work out all the time." :takesoffshirtandflexes:

- and honestly: dude takes a bubble bath in anticipation of his date with Des? in real life that dude crushes a few Natty Lights, take a shower in Axe Body spray, and hits the streets.

- you know The Batchelorette is boring when they spend more time on the septuagenarian anniversary than her date.

[Fat Nick]

I will now kiss you awkwardly and aggressively.

I thought I was the only one noticing that. Glad someone else did too. He really was an aggressive kisser. Not like "tongue down your throat" aggressive, but more like "Me Tarzan, you Jane, you kiss me now" aggressive.

 

[butcher boy]

This show is now a joke and even my wife is starting to see this which says a lot.

They're obviously starving for any sort of drama this season and it just isn't there. That's why there's this manufactured drama with Ben. We still don't know why everyone hates him other than, "Oh look, he just took Des aside to talk to her alone. How dare that mothereffer!"

Seeing them spend an hour on the two old people just reinforces my idea of turning the show on its head and making either an old people bachelor or a fat and ugly bachelor. It's the only way to salvage something out of this trainwreck at this point.

 

[Shrugs]

How about the guy who likes walking in heels, and then even later when sitting at house waiting for time with Des he had his legs crossed in a completely effeminate manner. If Des picks him, he'll be stretching out her clothes.

 

[Dentist]

I think I would've already tapped out if i were one of the dudes due to the high odds of her family coming to me for money, or her having poor personal finance habits.

But she is hot, would bang

 

[offdee]

The old people segment was such a joke. What in the hell was that all about?

I think I'm giving up on this amazing adventure. At least with the Bachelor I can watch and make fun of multiple hot women. This now ends my time seeing a bunch of doods frollick and cry.

 

[Henry Ford]

I think it would be awesome to do a whole season with a Bachelor or Bachelorette who has a really specific fetish and watch the competitors slowly realize they're all into feet, or dressing up like animals, or something. Lots of great hidden shame in the confessionals.

 

[Quint]

i think the producers may be setting the stage for the first Gay Bachelor with this group of dudes. it can't be far off, right?

i'm almost serious.

We're called furries, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Well played sir.

And re. the gay Bachelor, I think it's about time for this. Not joking. I think the original pole for this post needs to be updated with that as an option, because I'd STILL say that they'll cast a gay bachelor OR cancel the show before we get a black man as the bachelor.

I actually think that, if done correctly, a gay bachelor could save this dying series. Just think of the drama if the contestants might want to hook up with each other!

Well Des just got rid of Brad, he's clearly an option if they choose to go this route. So too is Drew, who is still on the show. I pegged them as the couple most likely to end up together at the end of this season. I'm definitely serious.

Oh, and loved that they made Brad walk to the top of the freaking light house to tell him that he's going home. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. utofbreathwalkofshamebackdownthelighthousestairs: Sheesh.

 

[EYLive]

Why hasn't Bravo or Logo beaten ABC to the punch with a gay dating series? Or have they?

I think ABC, being a Disney family friendly company, wouldn't put on a gay verision. Wouldn't they lose a ton of viewers?

Ha, I thought that too. Hey, let's walk up all these stairs and then I'm going to immediately dump you.

But seriously, nothing will ever beat Kasey the muppet-voiced guy getting left on an iceberg.

there WAS a show like this a few years back, on Bravo. Called "Boy Meets Boy"

The prosecutor really went after Ben last night. That was one uncomfortable situation. Was that the first time that the person that called someone out succeeded in sending them home?

First time I'm aware of, and I think I was less surprised OJ got off than that Michael succeeded in getting Ben sent home. Based solely on how that scene went, I didn't think there was ANY way she kept Michael. He came across as a giant #####, not only to Ben, but also to her with his smug glances and complete lack of chemistry.

I think this was a very very fine job of editing and that Ben's "real" persona came out in front of Dez a bit more than they let on. I also think maybe she had a little more with Michael than they showed previously and that made him more comfortable doing that.

I don't think so. Last season Sean sent home someone all the women hated. But he sent home the first two or three women who told him that first.

He called his shot and then parked it over the fence. Nicely done.

Won't help him stick around much longer, but he really did brutalize Ben.

"You didn't call your son on Easter."

 

[Ray Karpis]

I'm over this season. We watched last night after missing last week's episode and spent more time on Facebook than paying attention to the show. Just nothing interesting going on.

Michael was so terribly awkward using his "prosecutor skills." Ben must have really shown his ### at some point to get booted in light of Matlock's performance at dinner.

It was hard to watch. If Ben had a little deposition prep, he would have crushed Michael like a roach.

 

[oso diablo]

we can blame it on the editing, but the other guys in the house thought that Ben would survive, too.

 

[koby925]

If Mikey couldn't see the writing on the wall after his alone time with Des, I don't know what to tell him.

M - "Do you want to make snow people?"

D - "Do I?" (Yes anything to keep this meatball from trying to kiss me)

M- "And we can be a family of five Tarantellis...or ten..."

D -

Zack in distance...."YODELLAAAYHEEEHOOOOO!!!!"

D - (Sweet someone saved me...now time to give this guy the cheek and bolt)

M - "I had a great time..." (goes for the kiss)

D - (cheeks Mikey and gives an awkward hug)...."Zack Zack!!" ...running away
