"The Bachelor" on ABC (1 Viewer)

[dhockster]

Olivia was happy at the end saying she got a good vibe. It didn't seem that way to me from watching. She's like Jekyll and Hyde. One time see her think she's hot and looks like Cameron Diaz. Next time I see her can't believe she made it this far.

She's like the Good lighting/Bad lighting girl in Seinfeld. In good light, she looks great. In bad light....YIKES!.....Run Away!!!!!

 

[TLEF316]

She said she got a good vibe because she's delusional.

"Ben sort of touched my leg. We're gonna get married"

More like makeup (decent) vs no makeup (scary)

[SIZE=medium]When he sees Olivia walking up for the 3rd[/SIZE] time interrupting other girl’s time (and he’s clearly annoyed by it) why doesn’t he stop her and ask her to respect the other girls and turn her away? Put Olivia in her place and would bump him up 10 more pegs with every other girl. There wouldn’t be a dry seat in the house!

My theory on that is that the show encourages interruptions, and the girls are told that they can't prevent it when it happens.

Maybe he's not allowed to call them out on it either.

Just another mechanism to create drama.

Olivia looks good from certain angles but most of the time, when you see her move in live action, she's not really that attractive. And her personality kills it anyway. Call her the reverse Anna Kendrick.

Do you think the producers forces ben to keep olivia on? Seems like she has no chance

 

[Otis]

When he called out Olivia's name to give her the rose, he had a look on his face like he was pissed because the producers just told him he had to keep her around for ratings.

This. He was noticeably irritated.

Told my wife the same thing. He so clearly didn't want to keep her around.

 

[Aerial Assault]

Do you think the producers forces ben to keep olivia on? Seems like she has no chance

Sure; they're forcing him to keep her for sure (maybe that ends next week). Or she's an outright producer plant, as it's difficult to believe that anyone pursuing a career in broadcast journalism would (a) go on this show and (b) be the season's designated nutjob.

I've been wondering if she gets fired after this. Seems like she'd hurt the credibility of any serious newscast given how she's behaved.

Sure, but I'd take it a step further and say you're assuming facts not in evidence - I don't think she was ever really a "news anchor" as claimed. She may not even work for a news organization (in Austin was it, supposedly?), or if she does it's an ABC affiliate and this is part of her job.

I watched a clip where she was a local correspondent on a story, not an anchor. But I'd think even in that role, this has to hurt her. Then again TV news is more about entertainment and eye candy now, so who knows.

Ahh, thanks for explaining. No, you're right about the blurring between "news" and entertainment, and so that makes perfect sense. This is all about setting herself up to be the next wacky entertainment "reporter," in as high a market as she can achieve. And in that respect, I doubt that this stint will hurt her much at all.

News Anchor. My god! Top 5 hottest Bachelor chick ever.

Not sure what I was drinking this night to think this, but ever since I first spotted her she has done nothing but churn my stomach. From the stupid slack jawed guffawing to the shiny face that looks like it needs to be dabbed with a paper towel to that personality that makes Lace look stable and secure. Egads.

 

[General Malaise]

Olivia will be perpetually single until she makes some poor slob miserable. She's so incredibly unattractive; physically, personality, as a person. She's like the anti total package.

Come again?

Although considering the other options were amber and an unemployed chick from arkansas, he couldnt have been all that broken up about it

I kind of dug the unemployed chick from Arkansas, mostly because she didn't do anything to embarrass herself or annoy me, but also because I think it takes some guts to get up there and say "Hi, I'm Cindy Lou from Arkansas. I have no job and I live with my parents". It beats the hell out of fabricating a job title like Chicken Enthusiast or REALTOR.

 

[General Malaise]

Other than the blond hair dark eyebrows thing she has going on, I like Leah as well.

Surprised she's getting almost no screen time especially since she's also from Denver (where ben lives). Maybe a 1 on 1 is coming soon and will put her on the radar

Never understood why women do this. If you are going to color your hair, do it all so that you dont look like Groucho Marx

If I may, I am an albinoish looking man with white hair and white eyebrows. I would kill for some definition on my face in the form of eyebrows other humans can see. I can understand why women might opt for this look.

 

[General Malaise]

Olivia and her sister are both volleyball players. Olivia played for TCU. Her sister plays for Dartmouth. She could certainly play for me.

 

[General Malaise]

Last thing for me....

I've been trying to place where I've seen that open mouth guffaw from an attractive woman before. You know the one Olivia has here?

And by job, I've got it!

 

[General Malaise]

Sorry, I spent nearly 4 hours catching up on this yesterday. Alone.

 

[RUSF18]

JoJo is criminally underrated around here. She seems to get hotter and hotter each week. I have a feeling she'd be lots of fun in the bedroom as well.

Pretty sure JoJo is bisexual, no? When she was having that conversation with Ben, she kept referring to her ex as "they" instead of he/his/him.

 

[Scoresman]

You're crazy if you dont think Olivia is attractive. Her personality kills it, but she's got a sexy Michelle Pfiefer thing going on, looks-wise.

That would be a game changer.

Ben: "I believe it's pronounced 'Menage a trois'"

In your defense, she received the first-impression rose for a reason and did appear hot that first night.

Once she's gone, this season will be so boring I'm kind of hoping for him to bring back Lace.

I'm afraid we'll have to wait for Bachelor in Paradise to get Lace back for our viewing pleasure. Once he cans Olivia (no pun intended) they will focus on the Crazy Train known as Jubilee.

Amber taking her shoes off, laying down on the barcalounger and sobbing uncontrollably was an interesting departure. I always enjoy these pretty young people melting down and saying they'll never find love, never find a mate, this was their one and only shot at a spouse. Some sell it better than others, but come the hell on. Amber, fly up to Portland and hang out at a bar up here. You'll get descended upon by bearded hipsters and lumberjacks alike who would treat you better than nice. And really, you know going in that you have a 1-25 shot at being the finalist and even if you are, you have like a 15% chance of actually marrying the other person.

You want TRUE depression? Create this series for single people in their 40s who have never been married. Let's cease and desist with the babe in the woods routine, I want honest despair, damn it.

I want a bi-sexual bachelorette with male and female contestants so they could all #### each other and the whole thing would explode.

That would be great, except I don't see Jubilee lasting through next week. :(

Is this the longest a Bachelor/Bachelorette has kept a black person around?

Yes, I think he's well past the "must keep until" episode.

 

[(HULK)]

If I were ever the bachelor, I'd decide on my top 2 pretty early (of any race IMO), then carry two other black ladies along with them to get the boot in 3rd and 4th place. The bachelorette has finished 3rd or 4th for several years running now. This would pretty much force their hand.

No. Just no.

"So like, we got married when my daughter was like, 6 months old? And like, he never wanted to like, hang out with me on like, the weekends and stuff? And like, then I got pregnant again, and I like, crapped out another kid? And then like, he was cheating on me with all these like, girls and stuff?"

:gunshot:

Driving me nuts. Shame because she's otherwise maybe my #1.

"I know my taco is delicious"

 

[Shrugs]

They act like Olivia is evil. She's just insecure and awkward, and tries to mask it with a false confidence. Loved when Emily called her fake, then immediately turned off the waterworks and pretended like she hadn't just been discussing her when Olivia walked down.

JoJo rapidly moving up the hottie rankings.

 

[shady inc]

what a cliffhanger episode. based on next week's previews, it seems like the girls are angry olivia is still around. i hope she wins

[dhockster]

Leah has to be gone next, because she has basically had zero screen time with Ben.

Which is sad, because she seems normal and cute.

Leah - No Chance

Emily - No Chance

Lauren H - No Chance

Jennifer - No Chance

Amanda - No Chance (having kids will ultimately send her home)

Lauren B - Frontrunner

Jojo - Frontrunner

Becca - in the mix

Cayla - in the mix

Olivia - Wild Card. If Ben continues to see what he wants to see with Olivia, then she can go far. Ultimately, I don't think she wins but Crazies who were only interested in marrying the bachelor (regardless of who it is) have won before.

Good analysis. I was really glad to see the mentally exhausting Jubilee go home. And yeah, I think I've mentioned before that Leah may be the cutest (attractiveness and personality) gal there, but they have virtually never shown her interacting with Ben, and certainly not since opening night.

 

[RUSF18]

Forgot if I posted this before, but JoJo reminds me of a brunette Isla Fisher.

She's definitely my #1 but seems like Ben is more likely to go Lauren B. If not, she is a prime Bachelorette candidate unless they think she'd be too boring. Could also see them going with Becca to really play up the virgin angle.

Good call, and tremendous funbags after seeing her outfit on the cooking deal. Great googlymoogly.

There's something between Ben and Lauren B, though. Seems like a stronger connection than with Olivia. I'd like a Bachelorette season with JoJo as the lead.

 

[nirad3]

Leah (smokin' hot btw) and Jennifer (great funbags, go back and watch 1st episode) are definitely gone next. Emily and Caila will be on deck.

Lauren H.'s face is nothing special but her body is smokin' and she and Ben had a pretty good connection on that fashion date. I think she's a dark horse here.

Olivia is being kept around for ratings, nothing more. Oh, and she's supposedly a very legit member of the media according to my wife who got bored and spent 10 minutes researching her last night

Lauren B. is cute and - like many others - has a rockin' body, but she keeps saying everything is "scary" in terms of getting close to Ben. That will be an issue and will make her one of the final chicks to go.

Final four... Olivia (ratings), Lauren H., JoJo and Lauren B.

JoJo will be the next bachelorette.
