Britt's style is wearing clown makeup to bed and not showering.
I guess she could wear a housew Frau dress from 1990 instead.

She has great style. She's a brat, but she's hot and has great current trendy style.

The show will either resuscitate her after her leaving the way she did (they will say she was so in love with him and too upset to bear him with other women) so they can make her bachelorette or they'll bring in Kaitlyn. Or they'll have about 5 viewers.

 
How in the world do you not nail Jade immediately after she shows you her pictures

and videos? Complete clown.

I would have to imagine the virgin goes next and he ends up with Whitney, one of the least

attractive of the whole lot. She does seem to have a lot of other things going for her though as she has a real job and decent personality.

If it goes this way it would make sense to the conundrum with picking the next Bachelorette. They probably feel Brit is too whacky, Becka is too pure and Jade is too dirty.
Kaitlyn down?
I'm assuming Kaitlyn is the runner up and others have stated that due to timing the runner up can't be the next Bachelorette.

 
The only thing worse than him not taking advantage of Jade in the fantasy suite was when he was walking back to the football game and said "Wow it's 20 to 28!"

Disgusting.

Let's not get carried away. The franchise survived Ben Flajnik as the Bachelor. Plenty of people will watch even if they don't make Pigpen the Bachelorette.

 
Not sure if this has been posted, but it kind of relates back to the original poll that started this thread.

WE network just bascially gave ABC an excuse to never cast a black bachelor/ette with the show "Match Made in Heaven." I can

see the ABC execs breating a sigh of relief now. "Thank god...now we can just say that somebody already took that concept."
I think they could get away with a light skinned mulatto
Honestly, and this sounds bad...I don't. Not unless the bulk of the cast was also black or mulatto, and I don't think the producers would do that. African Americans just don't do well on that show in the contestant pool. Look at Marquel from last season. He's probably the guy to last the longest as a contestant. If you made the bachelor or bachelorette African American too, then I think you run into contestant pool dynamics at play.

If contestants truely don't know who the bachelor/ette is before coming, I think there would be a significant portion of the contestants who just couldn't see themselves dating someone of another race. Many might suck it up for the sake of TV, but I think you'd have a higher-than-average level of people doing things to get sent home.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it happen, just because it would be a change of pace...but I don't think it'll happen.

 
A bunch of crazy black chicks would end up beating the #### out of each other, it would have to be the regular cast of crazy white chicks and a Derek Jeter like mulatto. They will never do it though and I don't blame them.

 
this show has started to come around realizing they are who we thought they were.....they even make fun of themselves at this point.....for that reason and growing social acceptance of certain things, I don't think Jade doing nude pics eliminates her from being the next bachelorette.....

sure you have some of the uptight crowd who just flat out won't tune in, but even they would struggle to really not watch this show if they have been viewers in the past....IMO Jade's story would actually be kind of cool....acceptance, people moving on......you go girl....

they could tap into that little part of every woman that feels like "hell yeah, if I got it flaunt it".....even if they are not allowed to say/think things like that because of their upbringing/lifestyle/etc.....

every woman has a little "playboy model wannabe" in them.....I found Jade's mixture of emotions from "do you want to see the pics?" to her humbling/sincere admission that it has cost her relationships to be super sexy/attractive.....she is still hanging on to that naughty girl while also realizing I need to chill it out a little.....quite honestly the perfect woman IMO....the ol' lady in the streets, freak in the bed thing....

plus her hotness if off the charts....not a guy or girl for that matter that wouldn't like to take a run at that.....if they say no....they are lying....show would not lose viewers....

I actually really like the suggestion above about the show moving towards "dueling bachelor/bachelorettes"....add a few more singles to the mix and check out the dynamics when say Britt/Kaitlyn are picking from the same pool of dudes....

I believe part of the secret sauce of the Bachelor/Bachelorette series is the appearance of "class." Most of the contestants and their families are middle-upper class folks... Jade's family and story are a little too close to the trailer park for her to be the next bachelorette.

It's funny...right before they did Jade's hometown, I asked the wife if I thought they brought in home make-over crews and re-did the family's houses because most of them looked impeccable. We pondered for a bit, and then, after seeing Jade's house, we came to the conclusion that no, they did NOT come in and do make-overs. My wife's only comment was, "They really like deer," referring to the giant deer head over the sofa.

Two bachelors would be awesome. They both go on a 1 on 1 and switch in the middle.
This really would be interesting TV. Some rules:

-They alternate handing out roses.

-They can only choose to go on a one-on-one date with a girl they gave the rose to in the previous elimination.

-At some point, maybe before hometowns or something, a girl has to give one of the guys a rose. That basically eliminates her from the other guy's pool...then, you go through the last few episodes with essentially 2 separate bachelor endings, but the splitting part could be dramatic if both guys liked a particular girl...she could get dumped in the end by the guy she chose, etc.

The "surprise" Duran Duran live concert performance of Girls On Film during one of her dates will be awesome.

Wow, a heck of a lot more thought than what I was thinking with Kaitlyn and Jade as co-bachelorettes specifically. I was hoping they'd eventually get bored with the guys and end up in the fantasy suite together.

He packed every long sleeve solid shirt in his closet for that Bali trip. Seems like the obvious choice when it's 105 degrees with 98% humidity.

 
also: he's picking the 2 girls he thinks there is any shot in hell will stay in that Population 0 town he lives in.

Let's be honest, not one of the toher ones lasts a few months... Whitney is willing to give up her entire life to be a human semen depository (I will NEVER understand women like this) and Becca is simple being simple.

They were his only hope.

Also, Whitneys voice will be easier to deal w when you're 50 acres away plowing a field all day

:goodposting:

Nobody else was gonna go there.

 
I love when Chris gets caught off guard. He mumbles through a meaningless response every time. When he found out Becca was a virgin, so many ums came out of his mouth. When Britt called him out after the camping date, the guy strung together 10 straight seconds of incoherent sounds.

He may be rich, but he isn't smart.

 
Sexing two attractive women and getting a BJ from the third is the most excruciating week of your life?
I'd be surprised if Becca has ever been to 2nd base. No way she's given anyone head.

No idea why he kept her. She's a cold fish.
If he keeps her, there's not a chance they make it past the first few weeks of the post-Bachelor media frenzy. Last night during the rose ceremony, she looked miserable...and that's probably after he told her she was going to stay before bringing her back.

I think he likes her simpleness. She doesn't threaten him and I don't think he feels like she really has much else going for her. The thing is though, I think she's OK with that, and would leave to go back to simpletown rather than deal with all the media.

She's not cut out for this show.

you are giving him waaaaaaaaaaay too much credit....I don't think he has that kind of game.....

made the comment last night to the wife that this guy isn't really a prize......she gave me that low brow squint as I sit there on the sofa....I told her I meant in the way that last year when announced everybody was soooooo excited about this guy, etc....it will be so special to have him as the next bachelor.........and now as the show moves on, he has really just shown us that he is a nice guy......there are lots of nice guys.....he is nothing special.....there have been a ton of really nice guys on this show.....I think the girls are realizing that and adding in the fact that he really brings less to the party than a lot of other guys.....he is not very smart, he lives in a really small town, and let's be honest, he's a couple plates of biscuits and gravy and slacking off on working out for the show away from getting bigger.....it's happening already......I realize a lot of that sounds judgmental, and it is, thats what happens when you go on TV......but the last two bachelors Chris and Juan Pablo have made this show really hard to watch after most of the chicks and the accompanying "drama" and eye candy leave.....it is really boring when it gets to this point with guys like this....

I don't even think Whitney will last with him.....

 
I find Whitney quite attractive. No, she's not gorgeous like Jade or Britt - and my "type" is usually blondes* so take me srsly on this please - but she's very pretty. She's got a better figure than I realized too.

Not only that, but around her, Captain Mumblemouth (just simply an *awful* Bachelor) can actually string more than 75% of a sentence together, a feat he has not been able to accomplish with any other woman. I think they're quite a good match and that was obvious as far back as the wedding crash date. Doesn't mean it will last but they're not obviously wrong for each other.

For the B'ette, I want Jade, just slightly over Britt, then way over Kaitlyn. Any of them will make for a good show, I think.

*I realize Whitney's not really blonde, but her skin and eye colors are right to pull off blonde hair that works.

 
Why is it that women get on an island and feel the need to dress in big mumu sun dresses and ugly strapless tents. I never understood this.

 
Whitney's legs looked good last night.
She's great from the neck down. Her face isn't so great, and the harsh sunlight at the last rose ceremony really exposed her facial flaws. Her voice is a deal breaker. Her lack of backbone in terms of being willing to completely abandon her life to become Chris's baby momma was a turn off also. Of course if you're Chris, that that puts you at number 1B on the depth chart.

It's obvious he wants Becca though (who did look the best at the last rose ceremony, probably because she's the youngest).

I don't think they're choosing all their own outfits at this point in the show. :shrug: The rose ceremony garb was pretty bad across the board.

I lost sound for a good 10 minutes last night for some reason. It was right after his fantasy suite with Becca. This happen to anyone else? It looked like Chris was crying about something then had a long interview with Harrison. I couldn't hear any of it just background music. It was very annoying because I wanted to hear what he was talking about. I went online to see if there was anything talking about it and of course got spoiled again as to was going home last night.

I agree he's kind of botched this whole thing up. He clearly liked Britt the best and that got messed up so now he's settling. I bet he wishes he had a mulligan.

The rose ceremony stuff was part of that temple ritual garbage, so I understand that. I'm talking about the crap they wear on the nighttime portion of the dates. They have to have some say in those outfits I'd think. In a city that's 30 degrees.... wear a mini skirt dress. In a place that's 110 degrees...wear as much unflattering fabric as possible.

that's a good point: Becca is non-threatening. Mr. Mumbles strikes me as the kind of guy who, when in an argument with a woman/wife, would literally walk away from the situation because he doesn't like conflict. then come back in a few hours when things are calmed down and pretend like it didn't happen.

Whitney seems like she'd be pretty controlling in a domestic environment, and i think Chris senses that. and he doesn't relish the thought of a woman taking control of his life in that small town. he's also had a dose of her family's version of crazy, and he's probably scared to death of Whitney's sister (with good reason). however, he does like how she's getting her eggs primed for a baby-making session of the highest order, so that's attractive.

in the end, he's gonna pick Becca because it'll be easier to break it off with her when it doesn't work out.

His reaction to the virgin disclosure was bizarre. It was like someone hit him in the head with a hammer.
