I also thought the way he acted and the things he said when he was on his last date with Kelly Jo were pretty crummy - considering the outcome.

Like, he kept saying things like "It doesn't bother you that I can't respond to the feelings you've stated?" and "You're not nervous at all about tomorrow?" etc. I think if he was thinking he might not pick her, he shouldn't have said those things. I mean, generally, if guys are uncomfortable with something, they aren't going to talk about it if they don't have to. If I was i the situation, I would have felt he must be okay with talking like that because he's going to be able to really reciprocate tomorrow. So I felt like him prodding her with those questions was sort of his way of trying to ease her mind that she was in. I don't know, maybe that was just me? :confused:

When I saw the show introducing all the girls, Estella stuck out for some reason and I really liked her... but this was prior to hearing her annoying voice more and more each episode... so then I was rooting for Kelly Jo, but while I was watching the finale I was like hmmm, Estella's not so bad-- she really interacted well with his family, (as did Kelly Jo) but Estella had that extra spark to her. And you could tell he wasn't picking Kelly Jo just by the way he was looking at her on their final date... he was always kissing Estella on their date before she met his parents... Kelly Jo and Bob definitely had a friend vibe going, look how he greeted her on their last date-- it was just like buddies. And I loved Estella's hairstyle (half up half down with rhinestones weaved in)!!!!!!!

I am glad he picked Estella. After watching that last show, you could really see that they "meshed" better than him and Kelly Jo. Plus, I think Kelly Jo was being over confident and I didn't like how she said she couldnt really see Bob picking Estella over her since she didnt know what Estella had that she didnt have- that was kind of rude. Estella never said anything like that.

Did all of you see how pissed Kelly Jo was when she found out she wasn't the one? I mean, I would be too I guess but none of the other girls on previous bachelor's acted like that. Oh, and how she let go of his hands and put hers behind her back?? I thought that was pretty funny.

Everyone see that before she got into the limo, when Bob was walking her back, she all of a sudden had an envelope in her hand?? I wonder what that was.

So everyone that is saying she is going to be the Bachelorette, when did they announce that? Is it 100% accurate?

I really wouldnt want to see her be the Bachelorette- I would still prefer Gwen from season 2, or even Brooke. After last night- I think Kelly Jo is pretty conceited.

I was glad to see that Bob's mom liked Estella better than Kelly Jo because she was right, Kelly Jo didnt even try to get to know her.

I just saw the after the last rose ceremony show... both Estella and Kelly Jo had some great things to say about one another.

I noticed that too and was a bit confused. Maybe it's a phone number? Seemed a bit strange to me

Now I hear that Meredith is the new Bachelorette. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Yes! She has the same kind of annoying voice that Trista has! Drove us all nuts!

Okay, I don't think this has been discussed here before, but we decided (that is, my sister, my best friend & I) that all the girls probably have their wardrobe provided for them (clothes look too new & too good to be their own), have their hair professionally styled (come on, some of those 'dos were just TOO nice to be done by themselves), and we think their makeup is done for them too (since "TV" makeup is different from "everyday" makeup). though they show the girls primping their hair & makeup, it's just for shot variety.

Any other "viewing parties" discuss any of the above?

OMG I hope it's Meredith! She's awesome!!!

I thought Kelly Jo's dress was really ugly. I wonder if the woman can turn down the dress that they pick out for her to wear for the final rose ceremony if she thinks it's hideous?

Yea, I didn't like that red dress either.

TV Diva Tells All: So, Bachelor Bob finally made his pick, and Estella is "the one." But more important, the latest word on the bit of gossip I told you earlier this week--that Bob's rejectee has been cast as the next Bachelorette --is that it will be Meredith, not the presumed Kelly Jo, who stars in the next show.

Regardless, word is the "reject's" show, which airs Jan. 14, is already in production. All this is according to a reliable source who, as far as I know, has no history of mental illness or hallucinogenic drugs, but only time will tell. For now, ABC is staying mum.

I know this is off topic.... BUT

Bob's parents cabin is 5 miles from my house, my family had a cabin on the same lake till we moved into our present house, there was no point in having a cabin 5 miles from our house and farm :) It made me very happy to be going home on Wednesday to see the family :) I'm happy that the whole nation got to see my beautiful back yard :)

I don't remember specifics, but they both kept saying how each other is an amazing woman. She was interviewed before she came out to face Bob and Estella and she's like Bob better treat her well because I wanted to be that girl, and she just wants them to be happy.

I really hope Meredith is not the next Bachelorette! She is actually kind of boring, and she even said she had a hard time opening up to Bob. If she does get picked as the next Bachelorette I dont think I will be watching.

Why her anyway? I dont really like Kelly Jo as much, but I would rather see her than Meredith. Kelly Jo has more personality and energy- Meredith is just kind of "blah".

ABC Family is showing the Bachelor Marathon today and tomorrow....it'll be interesting to see the comments made while they're watching the show:
Sat 2-8pm
Sun 1-7pm

Meredith is plain too. where as Kelly Jo is cute.
