"The Bachelor" on ABC (1 Viewer)

[Fat Nick]

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.

Do you have DirecTV? My DVR box is a crappy refurb, so every couple hours, the sound will blip in and out. If I hit the quick replay button (rewind 15 seconds), it comes back, so not a big deal.

If only the vocal went out and all you heard was the background music, I wouldn't think it'd be a transmission issue. My 1st guess would be that you have some sort of surround sound system. The front speakers lost signal somehow (either lose/bad connection or internal circut issue in a receiver), but the back surround ones were OK. The back ones don't typically have any vocals.

*ETA: To keep this from being a total hijack, was this during a Whitney segment? If so, you need to find out how to replicate it and you can probablty make some money marketing that method to viewers as a way to block her voice.

Whitney's legs looked good last night.

Yup. Nice skin going on.

 

[General Malaise]

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.

Much better skin than Jade. Jade up close was pretty rough. Lotta sun damage and razor burn rashes.

Yes I have directv with dvr. Not sure if it was refurbished or what, I just took whatever they gave me and didn't ask questions. Don't have surround sound either. I'll have to remember the rewind trick if it ever happens again. Unfortunately I don't think I missed any of Whitney speaking. Seemed like it was Chris doing confessional and then him speaking to Harrison. They also showed Becca walking around on a beach. I assumed it might've had something to do with Becca and the fantasy suite.

Kaitlyn is the ONLY one with even a hint of a personality. Why on earth would you want to watch a entire season of two women so vapid and banal as Jake or Britt? At least Kaitlyn is funny....and hot. She doesn't need a gallon of cake batter on her face like Britt and is light years ahead of Jade mentally.

#Kaitlynismybachelorette

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Totally spaced about this being on last night, my wife was excited about watching The Voice and I didn't argue as I was flying out to Dallas today and would be leaving her with the kids. About 9:30 my wife goes, "Hey, is the Bachelor on right now?" and we both have a WTF moment. We watched the whole rose cermony, Becca chat but obviously missed the rest of the episode. Did he nail any of these broads?

I was really rooting for Kaitlyn to keep up the brave front as she was trying hard not to cry. She caved in which is too bad but I understand. I really don't get these broads letting the dude off easy though at the end, if he had just boned her Kaitlyn should have totally called him out on it and when he offered to walk her out let him know she was all set.

Becca looked huge last night at the rose cermony, perhaps a bad outfit but with that big head I have to imagine there is a fat chick just waiting to get out once she has a ring on her finger.

 

[General Malaise]

He kept Becca because ABC wants to make Kaitlyn the Bachelorette and they've never given it to the runner up, as far as I know. He has his mind made up on Whitney and ABC told him to let Kaitlyn go. Huge Twitter movement to make her the Bachelorette and ABC isn't stupid. Chris might be, but the producers are not. Becca is an easy cast off. Zero personality and will do just fine when she goes home to either San Diego or even Shreveport where her less attractive sister married a former LSU football star. Having spent time in Shreveport I can tell you unequivocally that the ONLY thing good that has ever come out of Shreveport is the highway.

for knowing this, but if you download the Watch ABC App on your phone you can watch entire episodes (unfortunately with ads). I was digging Whitney last night and I think the edits was meant to, as best as possible, sexy her up a bit. I thought I even caught a panty shot as she got up from dinner to head for the fantasy suite (although, I suppose the fantasy suite shark move for her would have bee no panties at all). If Kaitlyn is the Bachelorette and I hope she is, I hope they cant a bunch of Bob Guinny (sp?) types when he was in the running for the Bachelorette (not when he was the bachelor). That was when the guys were a hell of a lot less serious and #####y.

What the hell do I know?

 

[sublimeone]

Seems like Chris is genuinely looking for a wife. He was obviously attracted to Kaitlyn and Britt, who imo, were the hottest but he let them go because they weren't what he was looking for in a wife. I can't tell you how many poor saps are walking around miserable, married to the hottest woman they could bag, who is no longer hot, has emotional issues and is a ###### mother.

 

[McGarnicle]

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.

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

loved thatAnd I believe 100% of the reason is that he couldn't wait to pull off the trifecta. No schtick, I think it took him a minute to process that he wasn't going to get to nail her.

 

[Shrugs]

Sexing two attractive women and getting a BJ from the third is the most excruciating week of your life?

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

That's the brilliance of being the Bachelor. He doesn't need game. His value is pre-established.

 

[Rirruto]

They should really offer live feeds inside the fantasy suite. I'm not sure there is a number that I wouldn't pay for that after a couple of Shirley Temples. Just the awkwardness of this guy and the virgin would be worth the price.

 

[Da Guru]

No wonder Chris has 2-3 DUIs...he has to drive 2-3 hours to do anything.

I thought his reaction to Becca's virgin announcement was about the same as his reaction to Jade's computer pics -- caught completely flatfooted. And he does not seem to have picked up on the fact that the Producers know all this stuff in advance and are setting him up for these little surprise bombshells.

Not a chance man...that girl's sewn up tight. I'd bet everything from the neck down is virgin territory, maybe more. She's one of those kind of asexual types, probably fueled by some guy who dumped her when she was in 8th grade and made her insecure.

Nah. I'm much more OtisTM than Christo on these matters, but I think she mostly looked largish because of the outfit and because she was standing next to Kaitlyn, who is pretty tiny. I don't recall any bikini action with Becca but I'm pretty sure she's in good to very good shape.

In fact, that height issue was one thing that struck me about this season; the girls, at least the ones who were relevant because they made it past the first week or so, were mostly pretty petite and on the smaller side in terms of height. No Desirees in this group: Britt, Jade and Kaitlyn all looked about 5'4" tops and Carly was even shorter. When I noticed this I figured that they had cast a group of smaller girls because Mumbledore seems to be pushing 5'10" at best and may even be wearing lifts to get there (no judgment as I'm 5-11-plus-something-i.e.-definitely-not-six-feet-in-socks myself, just observing). So of course he ends up picking two of the tallest girls in the cast for his F2.

Becca does have a thicker body type than Whitney, though.

 

[Scoresman]

whitney reminds me of that chick on seinfeld who wouldnt let george break up with her.

 

[Aerial Assault]

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.

She doesn't need a gallon of cake batter on her face like Britt and is light years ahead of Jade mentally.

I didn't find either Britt or Jade to be vapid and banal. In fact, I thought Jade's story was utterly fascinating; there was so much more I wanted to know about the trouble she got into in the past, why she moved from Nebraska, whether she regrets the nude modeling or is proud of it, etc. As for Britt, she was extremely articulate and funny when given an opportunity, and also (like Jade) a very nice person. I wanted to know more about her move here from (I think) Michigan, which (just as with Jade) they never addressed at all.* A whole season of her would be quite interesting. BTW, there are plenty of pics on the Innertubes of Britt in not much makeup. She's very attractive regardless; the only thing I wanted her to knock off was the almost yellow tan, which was annoying me by the end, particularly since she doesn't need it (or all the makeup).

But I will gladly watch Kaitlyn as the B'ette. She got prettier as the season went on for some reason (it's usually the reverse on this trainwreck franchise) and her personality is great.

*A lot of these things never came up because Sergeant Stonesinmouth is one of the worst conversationalists ever displayed on any form of television, so we never learned much of anything about the women despite the considerable amount of screentime they got. Also way too much time wasted on the ridiculously daffy Kelsey and the discomfiting (as edited: I suspect she actually may be more normal) Ashley I.

 

[offdee]

One note on Britt....I remember on the first episode with her meet the contestants intro video, she said something along the lines of (paraphrasing from memory) "my last major relationship was over a year long and we never once had sex...I just really want to get to know someone before I commit to that level of commitment". Anybody else remember that....WTF was that all about?

I really liked Jade's understated personality and her totally smoking body. Also, she has one of those faces that you don't really notice until she smiles, and then her whole face lights up, and you are like, man, she's attractive. You are 100% right about too much screen time for Kelsey and Ashley I. That was painful to watch, although the payoff of leaving them both in the badlands was pretty good.

Yeah, good call; that payoff was actually one of the best moments in the history of the show, I'm told by people who have watched it for most or all of its run, and in my much more limited exposure (watched Emily, watched Sean, skipped most of Desiree, skipped pretty much all of Juan Doucho, watched Andi, have watched all of this season) I agree. It was hilarious and awesomely filmed too.

You hit it on the head with Jade. I am huge fan of Robin Tunney (who has barely aged in 20 years) and Jade reminds me of her - same height, same body type, hair color, and similar faces. Terrific smile. Would flove to see them make her the B'ette but after seeing the F3 play out I imagine Kaitlyn has it in the bag. I could see Jade and Britt on Bachelor in Paradise this summer, tho.

BTW, which bachelorette told Chris he could plow her fields in the first episode? I vaguely recall it being Kaitlyn, but I could be wrong about that.

It was Kaitlyn.

Confirmed. For the first few eps she came off as the quiet gal who realized at some point that she is very funny, so she cracks wise to defuse tension, etc. Then she got more comfortable. I liked how she stayed drama-free and did not like, say, Carly.

In retrospect, she got a reallllly good edit, probably well-deserved. She just didn't have any chemistry with this cromo, which wasn't on her.

One note on Britt....I remember on the first episode with her meet the contestants intro video, she said something along the lines of (paraphrasing from memory) "my last major relationship was over a year long and we never once had sex...I just really want to get to know someone before I commit to that level of commitment". Anybody else remember that....WTF was that all about?

You sure that was Britt? I was almost exclusively focused on her early - before I got into their personalities and also noticed how ridiculously attractive Jade was - and don't remember that at all.

Thanks, never saw that. Damn, the pants on the hike? And her personality is really endearing. That video makes me want her more as the Bachelorette now. But the smart money seems to be on Kaitlyn.

Sexing two attractive women and getting a BJ from the third is the most excruciating week of your life?

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

That's the brilliance of being the Bachelor. He doesn't need game. His value is pre-established.

after spending 5 minutes with this guy I am betting his ADP drops significantly for many of them......

I am really quite surprised at the number of people who think the trip to the fantasy suite is a slam dunk stoink fest......I would actually wager that it happens less than 50% of the time......just my opinion....

Chris Harrison on record saying its a 66% bang rate

that's pure speculation......

if there ever was really a way to truly find out.....and I had to bet.....I'd still take the under on 50%.....

I think it's at least 2/3 each go around. You have to remember that most of these deranged women treat this like it's a normal relationship, so to them, they've been with this guy for a couple months now (I believe...no idea of actual timeline). What percentage of women aren't sleeping with a guy they've been "seeing" for two months? I'd guess 20%, and that doesn't take into account that, in their heads, this is a guy they're expecting to be engaged to within a month or whatever.

Just found her Twitter account. She's a Godie. I stand by my assertion of vapidity.

I'm still glad I did it. God consistently works things out for good when we trust Him...even through

whitney reminds me of that chick on seinfeld who wouldnt let george break up with her.

Really?

She reminds me more of the Schmoopy chick.

Nailed it.

the amount of one on one time before the fantasy suite date probably adds up to less than 48 hours.....and that might be generous....let alone two months....

and supposedly he has weeded his way through the most severly deranged and gotten rid of most of the one night hit it and quit it ladies....these are the final wife prospects and I would think some/most of them probably don't want to feel like they have to "give it up" for him to pick them.....the women here are actually in a pretty tough spot emotionally when it comes to giving it up, even if they really want to.......I realize they may want to "test drive" it as well, but I really think many of them think that can be worked out after the "proposal" should they get it.....

Her personality was loathsome. She seems about as fake as it gets.

Yeah, I was aware of her godbothering, and thanks for the unpleasant reminder. It's a ding, but it doesn't make her vapid IMO.

I'm not a huge veteran of the show, but it seems like the spec about the next B'ette is far more interesting than Mumbles' Choice (which should be Whitney without a second thought) at this point, with three viable candidates.

If you say so. I thought she was a nice kid and I really didn't see (or wasn't bothered by) the fakeness beyond what anyone does on these shows. And "loathsome?" Wow. There were/are several contestants this season - and, it should be added, the Bachelor himself - who approach, meet or exceed that description, but Britt isn't one of them by a long shot.

You're analyzing this like the women are normal. I addressed all of this in my post. These women are "in love" despite all their interactions amounting to less than 48 hours.

If I was the Bachelor I would go 3 for 3.

Of course, I'd stack the deck. If a girl told me she was a virgin I'd send her home before she finished her sentence.
