Now I'm really confused as to whether we're talking about Ashley or your home life.

"The Bachelor" on ABC (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter azgroover
- Start date
My girlfriend for some reason follows Ashley I or something. She told me that Ashley was going to be on Millionaire Matchmaker last Thursday and that she disavowed the entire experience. So we recorded. The matchmaker was telling her hard truths about how Jared would never be into her and she needed to move on, starting with unfriending him on Facebook and cutting off all social media ties. She cried and refused. Eventually she did so that matchmaker would set her up on dates. Though does she qualify as a millionaire? Confusing. The end didn't go so badly for her so not sure what she's so upset about. Guess she just didn't like being forced to unfriend her soulmate!

I don't know if she is. That's the premise of Millionaire Matchmaker, but they didn't say how much she's worth in the episode or talk about her having money at all. If she's made a mil just from the notoriety she's gotten from The Bachelor franchise then wow.

Whoa. Missed this as I haven't watched tonight's yet. Was it on that show?
Having only watched Monday's episode, a few thoughts:
- Damn it, despite myself, I find myself rooting for those crazy kids, Carly and Evan.
- Grant has the patience of a ####### saint. I don't think Lace is a bad person, but so supremely ####ed up. Best of luck, dude.
- I thought Wells was reasonably attractive on the Bachelorette, but he just seems like a munchkin doofus now. Well, at least he's not Alex.
- I know this is all staged, but if even a smidgen of it is real, what they're showing of Josh and Amanda is classic "battered wife" stuff. I'm serious that it's actually scary and alarming...if any of it were real.

They teased Nick picking out a ring and then crying with Jen while standing in the proposal area in the previews for next week, then at the end of the after show they announced him as the next Bachelor. Even if the news had gotten out (my girlfriend had already heard), why not wait until next week's after show so as not to spoil for everyone that his relationship with Jen doesn't work out?

Ashley is an enigma. Sometimes she is strikingly beautiful, other times she is just not that attractive. Like that character on Seinfeld where Jerry only saw her in a certain light but everyone else never saw that light.
So tired of Jared, Kaila and Ashley. So tired of it. Bachelor franchise is milking it for everything it's worth, which ran out 4 weeks ago.

Yeah. I was almost certain that they were going to announce Jared as the next bachelor after telling us he and Kaila didn't work out. I'm glad they didn't because Jared is so boring and yesterday's news. But then they bring out Nick.
Nick is on the same level as Jared as being old news. How many times does that guy get pushed on tv? A season more it appears. They should start fresh and introduce someone new.

Grant should thank his lucky stars if/when crazy Lace turns his proposal down. Dude, just run away.
Josh and Amanda have to be fake... right? They show him with a ring as well. Why would people get engaged after a few weeks of dating? Can't be real.
I'm starting to believe that Carly and Evan knew each other prior to the show and were dating. This whole season of her thinking he is a doofus, barfing after a kiss, acting not attracted to him is just for show. They were probably already engaged prior to the show.

Especially when he hasn't even met her 2 kids yet. Would be ridiculous for Josh to propose and would be idiotic for Amanda to even consider it at this point.

Well they're all idiots, so that's not surprising.
Nick as the bachelor is pretty funny. Hes done a pretty good job turning his image around (he went from show doosh to paradise's Mr congeniality) but it's still odd. I guess some women think he's good looking and he's a nice enough guy, but he's 35 years old and obviously has no career (what decent job would let him take off 4 times in 2 years to do the show?)
Guessing luke from last season of the bachelorette told them to go pound sand.

Here’s why Luke didn’t make ‘The Bachelor’s’ final cut
BY EMILY BICKS AT 07:08 PM ON AUG 30, 2016
It’s been a few months since JoJo Fletcher’s season of “The Bachelorette” ended. In all fairness, that is about a year in reality TV time, so people can become forgetful. Which may explain why fans are naively upset that Luke Pell will not be the next “Bachelor.”
The fourth runner-up in JoJo’s cycle was a fan favorite. His final appearance on the series featured the 25-year-old real estate agent declaring his love for JoJo, but he was still sent packing. It’s this exact scene that has had audiences gunning for his return as the next “Bachelor” star.
Luke seems like a genuinely good-hearted guy and, well, he’s gorgeous. This 31-year-old southern gentleman is the textbook definition of hashtag blessed. He’s almost too pretty to look at, and almost handsome enough to forget his one huge flaw.
Is everyone forgetting Luke and JoJo’s hometown date? If there was a medal for grinning and bearing it — JoJo would’ve taken home the gold. Luke brought JoJo to what at first seemed like an intimate outdoor picnic … and then introduced her to 50 of his closest friends. Five-zero. Fifty.
He ends up digging his grave even deeper, glibly apologizing that everyone couldn’t make it. Like a champ, JoJo plastered on the best fake smile manageable. It was clear to viewers at home that she was silently screaming, “Someone get me out of here!”
We know it sounds crazy. Who in their right mind would ever want to run away from a man that looks like this?
Simply play revisit this episode and you’ll remember why. It’s the moment JoJo realizes the reason she left Texas in the first place. She couldn’t fathom living on Luke’s farm for a few days, let alone for the rest of her life! The city of Burnet has a total population of just over 6,000 people and Luke seems to consider everyone within a five mile radius a close friend.
Luke obviously loves the small town lifestyle. But JoJo? Not so much. It was, unfortunately, a relationship deal breaker. Producers of “The Bachelor” seem to agree.
Sure, it may sound romantic on paper to move to a remote locale with a guy you met two months ago on reality TV the love of your life, but the women who go on national TV to compete on “The Bachelor” are not that type of romantic.
A few contestants may say that they are willing to drop everything to live a quiet life with Luke, but these women all have one of two things in common:
They think they’ll be able to work their magic and talk Luke into moving.
They don’t realize what they’ve signed up for — living in a place where your only neighbors are horses in a barn, with the nearest Starbucks an hour away.
Aside from the fact that Luke wouldn’t be a compelling “Bachelor” star — his personality and sense of humor leave something to be desired — the odds that anyone he meets will be in it for the long haul is minimal.
Would “The Bachelor” ever be able to find that rare unicorn of a woman? You know, one not only cool with starring on a reality TV show, but also desires nothing more than to be a farmer’s wife? Anything is possible, and there lies the rub. It’s why we keep tuning in. We can’t seem to give up hope for that one-in-a-million match.
Moving forward, it looks like it’s going to be Nick Viall getting another chance at love. The two-time “Bachelorette” star — and recent “Paradise” graduate — may be way past his 15 minutes, but he’s still a more entertaining option than Luke or Chase … or Robby.

I think he's good looking and I've always liked his personality, but appear to be in the minority. Definitely more interested in next season than I would have been with boring Luke.
that was me but I didn't really buy the book
I agree, but it's more her mood and crying affect her face rather than a different light. I think Lace is the same way where looks beautiful at times and badly others.
My girlfriend and I were discussing this last night. Obviously there's no reason that makes sense in a relationship. The sensible thing to do even if you hit it off more so than you've ever hit it off before is to say, "OK, we got on during this two-week vacation, now let's see how we like each other in real life." There are only two reasons to get engaged on the show, publicity and the free ring/potentially wedding (I assume you have to give the ring back if you don't get married).

If they were planning for it to be the finale season, would be an excellent move. But, if they plan to extend this thing for many more seasons to come it would be a terrible move. All the desperate housewives who live through this show and the romanticism of it would be appalled.

Well, that, and also if you're Tanner (or any guy, really) and have a chance to lock up Jade. What a beautiful, and also quite sweet, girl.

How stupid. Spoilers will be available well before then.
EDIT: The Final Four is already spoiled on Reality Steve.

Of course, but if you're excited about a Bachelor fantasy league, it must kind of ruin it to know that most of the field will have the exact same bracket or whatever based on the spoilers.Maybe don't read the spoilers and enjoy it for what it is

I'm thinking purely this would be fun with friends who you know watch the show and are on the honors system with spoilers. Great way to involve lady friends too who could care less about FF or football in general. "See, how great is fantasy now that it involves something you're into? Now does my FF sound so dumb because you don't follow football?"

Agreed... I was confident from the promo that she would be a winner.
He solidified it by calling her a keeper as she walked away from their initial meeting.

Just here to say I need this awful #### right now with a bunch of stuff going on in my life, and that I ####### love Nick. Always have. He's hilarious and hot. I usually hate the bachelors they choose but am all in on this one.
Whatever. I said it.

He looked like he smelled a fart when he was forced to say Liz's name at the rose ceremony. I wonder how long the producers keep her around.
Nick likes the chocolate, interesting.
I hope shark girl stays for a while, she seems fun.

Definitely some nice top end talent this year (including a few that looked much better than their profile pictures)
While I hate to give Nick too much credit (love how they showed him walking around the city with a bag like someone who has a job outside of being a reality TV star) I gotta think that at 35, he's going to shoot a little higher and pick someone with a brain in their head.
Corrine obviously set up a the villain who Nick eventually cuts at around 6th or 7th place. Some of the previews showed some pretty surprising deep runs (Jaimi? Only explanation is that Nick is banking on her being open to bringing another woman into bed)
Big Danielle M fan. Canadian Vanessa is awesome as well.
