To get noticed on TV and hopefully start a career in the industry.

I don't give a isht.

I still think he's hot.

Some of y'all are just plain over sensitive. I could give two ishts about whether or not he's cocky or rude or if he looks high all the time. I'm never meeting the guy, I just like the fact that FINALLY ABC decided to put someone worth looking at.

I'd take my QB over that guy any day, anyway.

I've gotta come to Hawaii soon.:D

MMMmmm... I love me some athletes...:D

I'll be watching!

I liked the way Extra referred to him as an "all-American boy" last night... he's Canadian. ;)

Bwah ha ha ha....yeah, he's from Ottawa. I wonder where our Ottawa boy, Lil_G is?

fyi...for everyone yelling at cashmoney...

I was in Gainesville during the whole time Palmer was there. I've met him a couple times. Since the announcement was made that he would be the next Bachelor, my friends and I have been talking about it and laughing our tails off.

Yes, the boy is F-I-N-E. He was even better looking, IMO, when he was at UF. And TV doesn't do him justice. He's way hotter in person.

However...

Personality, is, ummm, a tad lacking. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I never saw any direct evidence that the guy was a tool but he certainly made his rounds at the bar scene. (he really should have paid rent at The Swamp, he was there so much!) Since we've all been talking about him again, I'm hearing new stories.

One of my good friends knew a girl he dated, and hung out with him a lot. She says he's as dumb as a box of rocks, he always tried to act like a big player, but would screw it up. "The boy's got NO game" is what she called it. Again, I don't have any firsthand knowledge about him being an a**hole but he definitely was no saint. But hey, who is in college, right? ;)

And maybe he's changed. Of course, it's been just a few years. Hmmm. And I'm sure that being in the NFL and suddenly getting millions of $ is just such a character building experience. I bet he's just the most enlightened young gentleman now.

HA! :rolleyes:

I still cannot believe that idiot messed up the girl's name. I called a friend who's still in Gainesville and we were laughing so hard we almost cried. Trust me, people, I would bet that Palmer is going to give us lots of great moments like this.

Okay I think I am going to love this season of the bachelor far better than I loved the other ones for these few reasons: (spoilerish if you haven't watched the episode already)

1) The spy
I seriously thought I had it figured out. I had originally narrowed my choices down to Holly, Karen, Dolores, Mandy C, and Julie. And this was because when they showed the 'spy' earlier in the episode she obviously has brownish hair. So obviously any of the blondes were immediately out of the running to be the spy. But then after the rose ceremony, I changed to Trish, Karen, Dolores, Mandy C and Julie. After seeing the previews for the season I can pretty much knock Trish and Karen out of the running for being the spy (mainly because you see Trish in the scene where the girl is revealing herself, like you see Trish's reaction. And with Karen you see her sitting on a chair by herself and it looks like she is about to cry over Jesse). So I now think the spy is Dolores, Mandy C or Julie. Watch me be totally wrong too. :)

2) The stalker
I think I'm looking more forward to finding out who the stalker is than who the spy is.

3) The rose ceremony's
If the others are anything like tonights, man I can't wait. I seriously cannot believe that he mixed up Katie and Karen's names. But I thought it was only decent that he gave Katie the option of staying or not. Did anyone else notice that before he gave her the option of staying that she was walking back over to him to give him back the rose? I kind of think that shows a bit of class on her part. I liked how she chose to stay though. I kind of hope that she ends up getting another rose because it just proves that you need to get to know someone better.

All in all I really enjoyed tonight's Bachelor. The woman seem to be good catches. Although I don't think anyone could beat out LeAnn (Bachelor Bob) for bitchiest (did I spell that right?) woman but it looks like (based on the previews which of course are going to show the drama, drama, drama) that Trish might be a close second to LeAnn.

Thoughts?

I, too was trying to figure out who the spy was....I originally thought it was Holly, but since she didn't get a rose, I'm now looking at Jean Marie (Dolores can't be the spy since she didn't get a rose). I also don't think it's Mandy C with them showing so much of her conversation with Jesse. Who knows, maybe they've thrown a brunette wig on the spy to throw us all off and it really is "one of the blondes" :)

I'm kinda frightened by the stalker....she might outlive LeeAnn in notoriety of Bachelorettes (whoever the stalker may be)!

Trish is going to be the one everyone hates, and she's going to wind up making it pretty far....but I don't see her making it all the way, after Jesse hears from the spy what all has been talked about in the house.

All in all, this season looks interesting, to say the least :cool:

well, julie isnt the spy - she is actually a cheerleader for the 49ers, which means she can't be living in nyc.

i suspect jean marie too.

i guess we'll see when he starts making out with everyone.

Newsflash:

The Giants are looking for a new quarterback anyway.
I bet none of those stupid girls know that.

i can't wait to see who the spy and the stalker are - this season is going to be awesome :D

Sorry, guys...it ain't Jean Marie! I just finished watching it (again, we get it later here) and I think that Trish is the Spy! It makes total sense!

1. Her dress matches the one that the 'spy' was wearing. Jean Marie's was long, but her's was showing leg.

2. The 'first impression rose' is new, and giving it to the spy she is able to gauge everyone else's reaction about it.

3. They show previews about when it's revealed, and they are all shocked. Double shock with a spy, and it being Trish!

Those are my thoughts anyway...just watched the previews, and now I'm not sure! Now I think it's Jean MArie! Can't wait to see how this goes!

Not a put down to fans.

I have to go with Cashmoney on this. I flipped into this show and saw the last of the rose ceremony. That was all it took.

PUH-LEEZE..Yeah, he was so enamored of Karen he couldn't remember her NAME!!! All the others-No problemo. But the one he "couldn't let slip away"???:rolleyes:

So-yes he is good looking...even though he has an ape forehead...but he's either scripting or STUPID!
THAT's why I agree with Cashmoney!

That is why I totally thought it was Holly at first because they (ABC) blacked out her head but not her dress. So we know that she was wearing a black strapless. The only two women wearing black strapless were Trish and Holly.

I never thought about how giving the 'first impression' rose would work, but I think you are right. Giving it to the spy would be great. But the way Trish was reacting, I just don't know. I understand that the spy has to 'role play' but she doesn't have to be a brat about getting the rose.

I really can't wait to find out who is the spy.

As for the stalker, now that I do think about it I have to agree with ariesrising, I think it is staged. I say this because I can't see ABC allowing a woman who was dumped to somehow get back to the mansion. I'm sure they (ABC) put the girls up in a hotel of some sorts until taping is over so that no one will get the idea who who the final woman is, but security for the show is probably so tight (paparazzi and stuff) that it makes me wonder how she makes it past security and to the house.
