The Bachelor: Brad Womack, Redux
 

.

Hello, my YVR sister - I took am watching the train carnage.....

Future Train Wrecks...
 

Here are the bios of the women.

http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelor/bios#Bachelorettes

Madison from Vail, CO, has fangs. Brad was not sure what to make of it. Apparently, they could not find a female fire fighter like our guy Ryan.

Loved it when the first Bachelorette slapped him.

Let the train wrecks begin...

Ehhh, if he wasn't feeling it the first time, he at least manned up about it. Much better than the couples that "are so in love" and then break up within months amid whispers of wanting to go Hollywood.

And the slap? Please. "This is for all the women in America?" Babe, don't include me in that group. Although it was attention getting and I am sure he remembered her name!

I might end up getting hooked on this iteration even though I haven't watched it in years. Got tired of the "most unusual/surprising/best/whatever" rose ceremony EVAH hype.

Some of the women are kind of, err, unusual. Fang girl is definitely unusual.

Unusual Bachelorettes...
 

Keltie the Rockette who got kicked off. No rose for her.

Rebecca "Manscaper" who "wax on and wax off". Correct me if I am wrong here. Her profile says Esthetician. Do we have two of these?

Shawntel "I see dead people" Funeral Director from Chico, CA.

Not sure what to make of the woman who made him open the limo door for her.

We have the tease of "That thing..."

I am disappointed that no one passed out, puked, gave him her panties or asked to reproduce. Not sure if the producers limited the amount of alcohol or if the women have learned not to be drunk floozies. Then again, if they did anything, it would take away attention from our Bachelor Train Wreck, Brad. We can't have that, now, can we?

I know one of the girls who is a contestant on that show. Sarah L.

I am excited that two of the women who got roses tonight are from the Seattle area. I already know someone who knows the slapper. This should be fun.

Fang girl was too much...

Maybe she'll suck his blood:eek:

I don't really get the outrage either. He clearly had some issues, and has attempted to work through them. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

But seriously, the fang girl?

I like Emily, the one whose fiance was killed in a plane crash, but she seems pretty reserved so we'll see.

One of my sisters grew up in the same neighborhood as Emily. She said she's incredibly sweet, but to me it seems like she's portraying herself a little incorrectly. She described herself as a "coal miner's daughter" from WV - not accurate. I know that coal miner's daughter and WV usually go hand in hand, but to me "coal miner's daughter" sounds like you're a simple, down-home country girl. And from my friend who has known her most of her life, that's not the case. Just thought that was odd.

I like Emily a lot though. Already can't stand Michelle, the Utah hair stylist. I think she'll be really cut throat. I also liked Ashley, the Philly dentist.

Fang girl needs to go ASAP.

If you guys are fans of the show, then you'll LOOOVE this blogger. She's hilarious (and a greek woman to boot!).

Any guesses on what happened to Michelle's eye?

Seeing as how she is CRAZY, I wouldn't put it past her to have punched herself in the eye.

I think Michelle hit/punched herself in the eye, and not accidentally while she was sleeping.

i heard on the radio today that Brad was in a fraternity. he said "i was a young frat kid." this was in regards to his arrest way back. any idea which one?

I really can't stand Michelle. I'm afraid that this is going to be a Vienna all over again and that she makes it to the end. :rolleyes:

You know what's funny? It was last season or the season before that that there was another really off-her-rocker girl, and her name was Michelle.

ETA: Yes, found one clip of the OLD crazy Michelle (wish I could find more):

Yah, with her luck, Michelle, will make it to the end.

Being from Utah, Michelle should be used to sharing her man with other women.
If this whole The Bachelor thing does not work for her, I think that she should go on Sister Wives, the reality polygamy show! Watch out sisters!

Omg yes!! I remember the other crazy Michelle, too!

Btw, I'm gonna go there - are any of the bachelorettes Greek? One of them was wearing a shirt that said "Exec 07" on the back, and it reminded me of an Exec Council. I couldn't read the small print on the front though.

My predictions for final 2: Chantal (the hotter one) and Emily.

Found out today - The Day After - that Chantel is now apparently dating one of my brother's friends. Small world!

I didn't get to watch the last ep yesterday...no worries, all my FB friends posted the winner before the show started Pacific time.:rolleyes:

Emily looks much more attractive with the slightly darker (and more natural looking) blond hair. Her hair looked so bleached out on the show.

Brad needs to read the "He's Just Not That Into You" book. He is infatuated with her but she is just really not that into him. They never appeared to have much of a relationship throughout the show - it always seemed so awkward and forced, whereas things with Chantal were much more natural. Granted, you can never trust the edits. But he and Emily never seemed to be comfortable. It was always awkward and weird.

Loling at Trista and Ryan making yet more money off the show by another guest appearance. They're a couple who seems to have done it right. It was weird seeing Ali and Roberto after being on a flight with them last month (wanted to talk to them but they did not seem to want to be bothered, plus I had my hands full with a squirmy toddler who wanted to run around)

I think Brad still has intimacy issues which is why he went with Emily, who was clearly not as into him and still holding him at arm's length. First time around, he doesn't pick anybody after both women tell him they love him. Second time around, one woman says he loves him and tells his brothers she would marry him "today" and writes a touching note, pouring her heart out. Despite his constantly saying he can totally be himself with her, he picks the one who keeps him at arms length and questions his commitment. I suspect that if Emily comes around and lets him in fully, he will run scared.

I agree about her hair color. Her bad dye job bothered me the whole season.

I don't see Emily moving to Austin, either. She seems to be under the watchful eye of Ricky's parents in Charlotte.

Something I thought was kinda funny about Brad's whole "Austin" thing is that he treats it as if he needs to live nearby the bars he owns with his brothers. He doesn't. When he came up to Seattle to visit Chantel and meet her family, he seemed to like what he saw of the city. I think it's interesting that we never heard him say anything about maybe opening a bar in Seattle - you know, expanding his business interests. Like a lot of the people on this show, I think he's probably really boring and unadventurous, and a homebody.

Supposedly Chantel was supposed to be the next Bachelorette, but she turned them down because she's now in a relationship with someone she likes a lot.
