So the lady with the kid who was looking at Jake like 'Instadad' got the boot? I saw that one coming. I hope going forward they will STOP bringing the kids into this show. I think it's uncalled for and a little mean. Get the kid all excited about a new man mommy loves, let mommy get all excited with the idea that maybe she has finally found the one to be a father to her son and then...yank the rug out from under them. Pretty awful. IMO.And yes, I know...the woman didn't have a gun to her head to sign up for this.

To be honest if any woman right off the bat brought her kid to meet me, it's over. You don't raise your kid as a single parent to have them see their parent have a revolving door.

I got the impression he arranged to have the kid there to surprise her.ETA: yes, I'm addicted to this but I cna't watch on Mondays so I have to avoid this thread and catch up on Tuesdays online. The ABC site has a lot of good outtakes and more drama/heartache in the dumped diaries.

Right so they contacted the little boy and never told mom about it and flew him in from TN. She was all for it and wanted to see how he acted around her child. Pretty much any doctor will tell you as a single parent do NOT bring around people you are dating until you know for sure they will stick around.
 
I was giving some thought to the orginal poll question here and think it's a legit question. Will we ever have a black star as the Bachelor/Bachelorette? It's a very fair question. Typically, the black conestants get iced out of a rose early on, though I've also noticed they tend to avoid the first round of cuts. Almost as if the stars don't want to appear racist by booting them off the first night? Curious what others think. At some point, ABC needs to find a minority to star, right? Would ratings remain the same?

Am I the only one asking these things? Do I need to just go ahead and hang myself?

The problem is, at this point, every Bachelor/Bachelorette is one of the late castoffs from a previous season. If none of the black men/women make it far enough before getting dumped for America to fall in love/feel sorry for them than they won't have a chance to be the star of the next show. Vicious cycle.

Before the season began, I found a supposed spoiler on some website. I did not know if this was a trusted site or not, but many of the predictions have proven to be correct. It nailed the fact that Ella would get a 1 on 1 date and stay, that both girls in the 2 on 1 would go.

It also spoiled the final 4 and the winner:

mytagid = Math.floor( Math.random() * 100 );document.write("

Final 4: Ali, Gia, Vienna, Tenley

Winner: Vienna*** SPOILER ALERT! Click this link to display the potential spoiler text in this box. ***");document.close();

Why do you guys WANT to know how it ends? I don't get that. I live on the west coast. If I wanted to know the outcome of this show or a show like it (Survivor), I could check into the thread here and get that information from people living on the east coast. But I don't. I don't want to know the ending. Even though I'm 97% sure this reality TV is about as real as the boobs on Brianna Banks and always laugh when I see "writers" show up in the credits, I like to pretend there is real suspense. The very first year Survivor hit the airwaves, I was hooked. One Thursday night, before Survivor aired on the west coast, I was watching ESPN. During the hockey game, ESPN broke in with an update. The flipping news honk updated us on who got voted out of Survivor that night. I was livid. Couldn't believe they did that. :goodposting:

I ALWAYS want to know how a show will end. I get my kicks out of watching and trying to figure out WHY the end occured based on the actions of an episode, not WHAT will the ending be based on the actions.I don't have any desire to guess what decision some idiot on TV is going to make. I enjoy trying to determine WHAT made the idiot make the decision.

I LOVE spoilers.

I am just waiting for LOST to be over. If it has a good ending I will watch the Blu-ray CDs to see WHY the events occured. I just get absolutely no enjoyment from trying to guess what some writer is going to write as the ending.

Africaned-americans already have BET. If they want to do Dark Chocolate Bachelor, they'd have done it already.

Long answer: Because it has allowed me to make a bet for something awesome (since I'm allowing the person to "win" something of high dollar value) and I can safley make that bet knowing I'm going to win and come off seeming really intuitive and interested in this show?Short answer/answer to any time you ask a guy "why?" = sex

 
I do NOT want to know how it ends.

I'm home sick today and looking forward to actually seeing it on TV instead of on my computer on Tuesday :lmao:

 
when corrie announced she was saving herself for marriage, i announced "buh-bye". my wife was not amused.

the previews from next week confirm that the spoilers previously posted in here are true

I'm 100% like this.I'll read every spoiler I can for any TV show and it doesn't ruin it for me.Not the same for movies, but I think it's because I'm more likely to re-watch a movie than a TV series.

:thumbdown: The funny thing is my gf said the same thing when we wee watching it. However, she was not amused when I told her the entire male species was thinking "threesome" when the dude was on the double date in the castle. She also refuses to believe me that as I've been saying all along I think Jake is an "underdog guy" and will wind up picking Vienna.
 
Compared to some of the past seasons, these girls are not the best looking choices by a long shot.

ETA: Vienna has yellow hair.

Why do I feel that Allie has been around the block a few times?

Not sure why you'd say that, but I wish it was around my block...She was smoking in that purple dress on their date. That said, her personality is so confrontational, which is becoming a turn-off.

Ali and that other blond who looked like a porn-star are incredibly hot and would be my pick for a vegas weekend, but their personalities hurt them. Dude isn't going to pick Ali on principle because she whines about Vienna and he likes her. If it were me and I'm picking long-term the uber-cute Tenley (or however you spell that stupid name) would be the runaway choice, but I still think he goes with Vienna out of spite.

Yup. Knowing what I know, Ali would have been long gone for me. Way too much of a drama queen. Her obssession with Vienna is wierd.Usually producers of these shows do a pretty good job of building up story lines, but in this instance, either The Bachelor/ABC missed what went down, or the girls really have no good reason to hate Vienna so much. What did I miss? (that's rhetorical. I didn't miss an episode)

Yeah, they are just not shapely. And I think she's going to struggle greatly with weight after she has a baby or two.

I like how "30 Minutes of Woz's Choice" is implied as something she really WON'T be looking forward to. Well played, GBW.

Relative to a weekend vacation paid for by me? Yeah I'm no Peter North.
 
I've started seeing a pattern with him. When he stops being lovey dovey and turns into Mike Wallace, the girls is gone. Just his facial expression when he was questioning the virgin I said "she's gone". Also anytime he gets embarrassed - when he went to her on the boat and it was :crickets: and no kissing. Goodbye.

I enjoyed his answer to Gia last night when she asked him about all the girls putting their legs on his lap. One of the best non-answers to a question I've ever seen. Gia: "Blah blah blah, I thought I was the only one who put my legs in your lap and that it was special to me, blah blah blah, what about that?"

Jake: "Well, you see, here's the thing Gia. I really am falling in love with you."

Gia: "Awwwwwwwwwww, you are, like, SOOOO amazing!"

:confused:

 
There should be a Bachelor drinking game. The rules are very simple:

1) Each time someone says the word "amazing" you have to take a sip of your drink.

2) Someone says "Oh my god/gosh" you have to chug the rest of your drink.

I am willing to bet most people wouldn't make it to the rose ceremony.

 
So how reliable is the "spoiler alert"? I am planning on making a wager with Mrs. Cawbird and I am going to give her the field and I'll take __________.
