He looks like Jim from the Office.

And as a man who cannot really grow facial hair, I'm glad I've trapped my woman with several kids because ain't no way I could compete with the new look for men.  Not that I was competing very well before that either, but I had a punchers chance when clean shaven was the way to be.

Clean shaven (or actual mustache/beard) is still the way to be for guys with real jobs, an understanding that photos live on forever, and/or a little self respect.

Guys who look like this are going to look back on this era as their "Miami Vice" period.

3 days of beard growth on a man just screams "I haven't had to be anywhere important in 3 days.  Either I'm independently wealthy, or you'd better be prepared to support me."

Your ugly face doesn't show.... and the beard still grows... like Don Johnson in '83!

Badumpbadumpbadumpbadumpbada...

I can see you douuuching on TV tonight...

 
I really want actual mini-celebrities to go on this show right after their divorces.  I think it would make for amazing TV.  

Celebrity Bachelor: Jermaine Jackson

or 

Celebrity Bachelorette Mariah Carey

Go tune into VH1. Rock of Love, Flava of Love...garbage. 

And back in the day they had Prince's from England and Jesse Palmer (NFL QB/sports announcer) as the Bachelor.  You hear rumors all the time of guys like Ryan Braun getting asked, but none of them want to (and for good reason)

You shut your mouth.

 
She'll never get any parts it's in her next wannabe career if she doesn't learn how to turn on the waterworks for when the role calls for her to cry.

 
So Aaron Rodgers became a rich & famous NFL QB and blew off his family?! :lmao:  

I'm guessing the real story is he wants no part of being on this show, or this toolbag is the real reason they're not close, if that's really true. So weird.

 
Any rumors on the next Bachelor?  I could see them going for James Taylor.  I don't find him the least bit attractive, but I could see his sad-sack, "good guy" story going over with the viewers.

"I'm your goocho." :lmao:  So happy the ventriloquist dummy is gone.

As for the remaining four, is she going to have them wear nametags to tell them apart?  I guess the one guy doesn't have a three-day beard and always looks angry, but other than that... :shrug:

I'm just looking forward to Aaron Rodgers being thrown under the bus some more by his jilted idiot brother. That aspect of this is pretty fascinating to me. There is a 0% chance Jordan is being honest about that situation. Aaron is probably pissed that Jordan did a stupid reality show and that's why they aren't speaking.

If that is true, then I find it strange that Olivia Munn's trainer, friend and Jordan's ex was bashing Jordan when the show premiered.  If the two girls are close (and there's nice pictures of the two of them together) wouldn't it stand to reason that Olivia at some point told Aaron, "hey, your DB brother is on this stupid show".

I'm curious what the real story is, too.  Sounded longer-lasting/deeper than just that he went on a reality show, though like you I don't believe at all that it's "Aaron got famous and ditched his family" either.

 
Jordan became a lot more sympathetic with the "you won't get to meet my brother and we aren't going to the super bowl" stuff. 

Luke and Jordan final 2. She picks Luke and breaks up with him when she realizes Burnett is too far from, well, everything.

And if he says one more time that he 'walked away from football' I'm going to lose it.  Not only did he never take an NFL snap in a game, he never took an NFL snap in a PRESEASON game.  Hell, for perspective, Craig Krenzel got a few snaps in the NFL and he couldn't throw up.

I'm hoping Luke.  That guy isn't going to take any #### from the women.

Same here!  He immediately regretting telling her that he was in love with her.  That was awesome.  

 
Yeah...zero percent chance aaron doesn't know jordan is on the show. Bus tossing your famous brother to maybe win a reality show isn't gonna help their strained relationship

How often do you think people say "I'm falling in love with you" in real life? It's such a weird, unnatural phrase. Yet on this show it's like they give these people an IFILWY $100,000 bonus.

:goodposting:

Trying to figure out which of our regular Bachelor thread denizens has received a time-out, by the way.

 
So what's the deal with Aaron Rodgers? Why isn't he close with his family. Wifey wants to know...anybody have the scoop. 

 
So much manufactured drama. Luke seemed like the only one who was a lock after the in-homes and all of a sudden he's on the block because he hasn't said "I love you"? Not buying that nonsense.

And yeah, pretty sure Luke doesn't miss Aaron all that much.

Word on the street is he visited his family back in 2014 at least. I know this because I went to Chico State and was shopping at the local Trader Joes when he materialized right next to me in the frozen aisle. He picked up the frozen artichoke hearts and looked at them in thought. I told him they were pretty good for casseroles or as a sauteed veggie. As I walked out of the aisle the female checkers basically died because I spoke to him. My girlfriend was pissed I didn't stalk him to wherever he went to next. 

 
I called Luke being the one left behind, mostly because no one on earth would choose Burnett as their primary residence.  Great place for a weekend getaway, not exactly a hot bed of paparazzi.  I even had $20 on it.  #### THIS TO BE CONTINUED THING.

 
Saying I give you my heart and laying a candlelit path to rose petals making up a heart just doesn't express the sentiment of falling in love. You must say the exact words "I'm falling in love with you" in order to get the point across.

 
JoJo really really wanted to meet Aaron Rodgers.  Odd how the oldest brother wouldn't say his name.  Called him our brother or our other brother.

Yup.

And she shouldn't be needing that reassurance just yet anyways.  I get wanting it before giving it up to 3 separate guys on 3 consecutive nights, but it shouldn't be mandatory just yet.

PS: "I'm falling in love with you" is just wishy washy namby pamby nonsense.  I'm falling in love with someone if I move from neutral to just kinda like them.  It means nothing.  At least Luke went full bore "I love you" in the hanger.

Robbie is a liar and JoJo is a fool for believing him.  I've seen that movie before.

What's it called?  I love movies. 

(Agree 100%. When Robbie loses he will be on the cover of US within a month back together with his ex. It will be one of those side blurbs, but definitely the cover.

The story of me, in 1983.  "I was told you were with her.. is it true?"  no, never never.  

 
Even though he's obviously really boring, is there any chance Luke ISN'T the next Bachelor?

They get to play up the whole Texas farm boy, West Point Grad thing. He's a real likeable dude. 

What does it say about Jojo that her final 2 are both "Former _________"? (I also love how Robbie's fantasy for life with Jojo revolved around being late and leaving early from work. What does he even do for a living now? )   Pretty sad when the most important traits you're looking for in a husband are good hair and the ability to say "I love you" after 3 dates.

He's super-boring, and he will undoubtedly be the next Bachelor, and I will take a stand that I will not watch the next season because of that, and then I'll watch anyway. :(  

 
I like how the hometown dates ended with JoJo in crisis mode over Robbie and doubts brought up about his ex, and with Luke laying out a candlelit path to his heart. Yet somehow at the rose ceremony she is eliminating Luke because she isn't sure of his feelings for her.

What's JoJo talking about with Jordan and how she doesn't know where work may take him in 6 months? She think he's going to get picked up by an NFL team?

 
She wants it to be Jordan as she has all along.  But she's hedging because she can't figure out why Aaron Rodger's brother isn't "Aaron Rodgers brother".  Add in that he lives in Nashville, not California, and she is right to wonder where he will be in 6 months.  Does the Internet have any idea what he does for a living?  Is he a football coach or have a radio show or something? 

Robbie is creepy. And he brings up his ex girlfriend too much.  Even if it's just crafty editing, the fact that he talks about it so much should be a red flag.  "I'm not with her anymore...if that answer isn't enough for you then too bad. Let's move on..."

Chase's reaction was awesome and I can't believe he came back to act like an adult.  When a girl does that to you and then runs after you so that SHE can feel better about it, screw that.  He had the right Idea to grab a beer and go.  

Next bachelor odds by Herd:

luke - 1:2

james - 6:1

chase - 8:1 (although I thought I saw him in a Bachelor in paradise ad)

 
Pretty sure Rodgers is an aspiring football tv personality of some kind. So basically, he'll end up at whatever local TV affiliate decides to take a shot on aaron Rodgers' sort of famous brother. 

Yes robbie is really creepy. He and I have the same job. I was a "competitive swimmer" from ages 8-13. Is he even good looking? Hes obviously in good shape and has a fancy hairdo, but that beak of his is rough.  Looks like sam the eagle from the muppets
