The Bachelor II premieres on Wed, Sept 25th!
 

The Bachelor II premieres tonight!
Although it is pure mind jello, I will be tuning in to enjoy the cheese!

All I can say is that someone like Alex Michel, who was the first bachelor, didn't have any game if he had to go on TV to get a woman. You would think that an executive type like him who went to Harvard could pull.
:p

Last season i didnt start watching The Bachelor until he had already selected the final three. So, i was sure to watch this one from the beginning.

Out of all the 5 finalists, I wanted Aaron or John to be te bachelor and I am glad Aaron got it. Not only is he stable, financially, but he *seems* like a good guy. Oh, and of course I think he is a HOTTIE!!

What did you guys think when they said that the one girl he didnt pick in the last round was going to be the Bachelorette? By the way, it premires in January.

I thought it was kind of weird to pick someone that was on the Bachelor. I would have rather them picked someone new. Oh well!
I know ill be watching that one too!

Ok...I admit it...I watched the last Bachelor and I know I'll watch this next one. Aaron is quite a hottie and being from the South, I love his accent!! :p

I am sure it'll be intersting! :D

Eeeeeek!
 

Okay, I hate to admit it, but I'm hooked. I was at the gym so I really had nothing better to do than watch it, so of course I did. I tuned in as they were featuring the second guy (I forget his name). Not realizing that they were showing the finalists, I thought that he was THE bachelor. I was thinking the whole time, OMG, this guy is AWFUL...I am NEVER watching this again. Thankfully he is not the guy they picked, and I think they made the absolute right choice. Of all the guys, Aaron was definitely the most interesting and the most attractive, and seems like a nice, decent guy.

My other thoughts:

Go Trista!!! She is cool and fun, much more laid back than she was on the original show.

My mom and I both think that Alex and Amanda are NOT together and were just faking. She says that Alex just wants to be a movie star. I don't know if that's true, but there was definitely a vibe that should've been there but wasn't. I think it's splitsville for those two.

I am so GLAD that they did not go with Jason (Bachelor #2)...I did not like him. He thought he was God's gift to women.

The first guy I found kind of bland (Air Force guy).
Bachelor #3 was Robert the Financial NY guy...I liked him!
Bachelor #4 was Aaron... I think he'll grow on me.
Bachelor #5 was John (I think).
#5 was my favorite, hands down.
#3, was my 2nd choice.

The VCR is already pre-programmed for next week...I can't wait!

Yea, I kinda got that feeling too about Alex and Amanda. Since it's their 'last' public interview- I wonder if they'll tie the knot.

This morning I saw an interview with the new bachelor...he is HOTT!!!!:eek:

ronnie :D

Dang, I missed this. Oh well because I was not about to miss BB3 for this sh*t. I'll catch this lame dude and the freaky girls that want him next week. Please let this be more interesting than last time.:rolleyes:

Yes this bachelor, Aaron, is waaayyyy hotter than Alex!http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/...opic_Aaron.jpg

He is cute!@IowaHawKeye:D

sigh!!:D

BUMP!

Okay, who tuned in on Wednesday night?
Wow...I have to say that Aaron is growing on me.
As for some of the women, that Miss Idaho girl is starting to bug me already. I thought Camille was a bit unladylike, when she said, "I'm so ready to go home, you have no f**king idea"....I mean, is it really necessary to be so crass and rude to the guy's face? I liked Liangy and was disappointed that she was not chosen, but Merilee kind of bugged me.

I am guessing this guy is greek. He went to University of Missouri at Rolla, was a third generation banker, football guy, pretty much your All-American-Stud.

Anyone know?

BUMP!!

Okay who watched the show tonight?!?!?!

I think that Christy is a PSYCHO! I am sorry but I do not like her. Did you see how she would always take him off to the side, or just hold him while they went on the date to napa valley? She even started crying during the rose ceromony because it was getting down to the final 8 and she wasnt picked yet. I didnt really like Suzanne either, but I would have wanted her over Christy. Another thing I noticed about her was that she is 23?? I think she looks more like 30- and she was Ms. Idaho I believe.

Its okay though- i hope she doesnt last the next round. Aaron said that when they were hugging on the date, she wouldnt let go- i thought that was funny. Then, towards the end of the show he said he decided to give Christy another chance because he was very impressed when he first met her. Hopefully, he wont pick her next week at the rose ceremony. I think he eliminates 4 and stays with 6 next time.

I really like Gwen, Brooke, and the girl with the red dress. The one that talked to him at the end and told him she didnt know how much longer she would stay because of all the drama.

My guess is he might pick Gwen and the girl in the red dress as the final two!

Oh I agree the Christy is a whacked job. To put it bluntly, she's coniving bitoch. Her reactions during the rose ceremony was funny. I thought she was gonna crack. Her looks was of distane and shock and the evil eye. I don't have a preference for a girl yet. He is a total hottie. If he wasn't doing that program, and lived in town where I do, hot damn. But yeah me being the quiet type, it wouldn't happen.

I have to agree with you, girls. Christi is a crazy lady....she is all ready to marry him and everything...hello, you have known the guy all of 3 days!!


I liked Dana (the brunette) and I wish that Suzanne got a rose instead of Christi!

guilty pleasure
 

This show is my absolute guilty pleasure. I love it! :D

I'm still wondering what fraternity Aaron was in. I know someone on here has to know.?.

Re: guilty pleasure
 

Rumor has it Aaron was a member of Delta Sigma Phi at University of Missouri Rolla. The chapter also supposedly closed in 1995, so theyre not listed as an organization on UMRs website.

Maybe someone at UMR can verify there was a Delta Sig chapter there at one point or a Delta Sig can verify Aaron is a member?

I have to agree with you , bucutie02. I was not a fan of Suzanne but after watching the show last night, I totally hated Christi. Psycho is definitely the word for her. I thought Shannon from last year's show was weird but this one takes the cake!

I can't believe that 2 left before the rose ceremony. I did like Frances alot (didn't like the other though).

I don't know who I am rooting for. Definitely not Christi. Anybody but her - please!

Yay, Crazy Christy got the boot.
She was way too Fatal Attraction'y. No wonder Aaron was squirming in her presence.

I am so glad Christy the psycho got booted off. She was totally mentally unstable. She was already married to him in her mind. I like the 2 girls that went on single date with him. But I think the blonde chick should of told him about her dad.

Ally

Tonight was the first night I watched this show.

There was one part I couldn't stop laughing about, when that girl was sobbing and said something to the effect of, "I just want him to know that I am not an emotional reck."

Guilty pleasure...
 

I've even got a guy watching this show with me (hetero, not a Will and Grace type) every Wednesday night! :D.

I am so glad that Christy got the boot. She is so baseline unstable and looking WAY, WAY, WAY older than 23, I was going to stop watching the show if she'd made it another round. I know he feels like he wasted a choice keeping her around.

I can't recall all the names, but I like Helene (the school psychologist who almost make the primo error by blabing her mouth about the note) cause she's intelligent and she looks like Julia Roberts a bit. I like Gwen and Heather from Texas primarily because they're old hens like me! :D (I do wish Heather from Texas would get some fake professional eyelashes though instead of the Tammy Faye Baker mascara). I like the convict daughter's accent (and I want to copy her hairstyle from last night), but I do wish she'd stop putting her dad's business on front street--he's in jail, like legions of other fathers. I don't really have favorites yet though.

I'm sad that some of the prettiest ladies (to me anyway) got the boot in round two, but that's just the way it is--this group looks a little weathered.

Finally, my guy friend pointed out that he didn't think Aaron was as "nice" as he portrayed himself to be, and I gotta agree. He seems like one of those guys who is really nice on the surface, but thinking some mean thoughts underneath. Nothing wrong with that though...most of us are like that, right?

Even though Aaron "talked the talk" that he was disappointed that Alex did not propose to Amanda, I don't think Aaron will propose either. Too much pressure!

Or...he'll wind up with Gwen and be calling Helene after the show.
I think he will cut Haley, based on her small "ahem" cup size.
Not a nice reason to, but I can see it happening.
No more predictions at this point in time.

Eeeek. I've missed the last two episodes, and I can tell from reading this thread that I'm completely out of the loop now. What a fool I am!!!

Wow, this show is definately my guilty pleasure. Aaron is SUCH a hottie!!! I am soooooooooo glad Christy got booted, she was completely psycho!!! :eek: I think my fav parts of last nights show was when she was saying how Aaron brought up all that stuff about their last date when SHE was the one who brought it up and he just sat there looking frightened and bored. Also when they were playing the game and he said whoever wins gets alone time with him on the one ride and then when she won, he changed the rules to best two out of three. Hah! Loved that. :D

So, I actually watched this show last night for the first time (even though I hate tv, in general, and reality tv, in particular). I found it pretty interesting because girls do act crazy when guys are involved (well, not me, but most girls)... :)

Anyway, it was so funny when Christi was saying that if she had met him on the street they would have dated and they would be together... and then when she got kicked off she said "I am NOT going to be okay." Whatever... so ridiculous.

Oh, and I totally thought she was about 35 years old... did you see all those wrinkles in her forehead?!

I found out this about Aaron's Greek affiliations...
"I can tell you that Aaron joined Delta Sigma Phi fraternity in the winter semester of 1994," said UMR's Director of Student Activities and former Greek Advisor Mark Potrafka, "but the chapter closed during the summer of 1994, so he was never initiated."

Not impressed
 

I watched the Bachelor last night for the first time and I have to say I was not impressed at all!! I don't think Aaron is that good looking at all! I actually think he is kind of creepy but then again I thought that about the last Bachelor too! I just can not get into this show at all. That one chick last night was soooo psycho! What was her problem!! I think she really thought that she was going to marry him after like 9 days on the show!! I was glad she did not receive a rose. I think the concept of the show is sort of humiliating. I mean who wants their personal life broadcast like that! These girls are being used by this guy and on national TV!! I just don't understand why someone would do this-- Then again they do get to be on TV which I think I think most of these women actually want. Most of teh women are beautiful so I don't understand why they would out them through this. It's obvious they don't need help finding a date so I just don't understand....?

I agree with everyone else- I am so glad Christi is gone! Definitely psycho!! It was so funny when 1. Christi won the first game so then Aaron changed the rules to the best 2 out of 3- and she still ended up winning 2. When she said she really isnt an emotional basketcase after crying her eyes out because of not getting picked to the guy she "loved" and wanted to marry after 9 days of meeting him and 3. When she said that if she had seen Aaron on the street that they would definitely be together??? :confused: :eek: PSYCHO!!

I really really like Brooke- she seems really genuine, sweet, and she is cute. I also like Gwen! I dont know if I like Helene that much. It seems like he is really into her, but i dont think she is being real about her feelings. I also think is was cheesy of her to talk to Aaron like the second night they had a party and told him that she might leave the show. That is just asking for more attention from him. Although, he was wrong to give her his number anyway because if he doesnt end up with her, i wouldnt want to be the one he picks knowing he gave his number to another girl on the show!!

What was with Brooke taking a long time in saying yes when Aaron offered her a rose????

I also like Haley, she seems sweet and cute, but they havent really shown much of him talking to her.

Heather from Texas..... well I was also rooting for her because she is from texas and all, but now i'm not. First of all I didnt like how she was talking about Brooke to Aaron. Telling him that she thinks she is too young and blah blah blah. That is up to Aaron to decide, and you shouldnt be worthy of getting rose if you are going to talk about other people in hopes of Aaron siding with you and not picking the other girl. In this case, he didnt eliminate Brooke, but why did Heather have to say that? I also think she may be trying too hard. I didnt like when she went and sat on Aaron's lap when he was talking into the camera. He even looked like "oook, what are you doing here??"

So, thats my take! ;)

I am rooting for the girl that said I am ready to take him home to meet mom and dad. She seems really down to business with this guy.

I would rather the show be 50 eligible men and one woman. I think it would do more for the feeling I have that there are no great men out there. I also would like to see the way the guys acted.

I like Helene, Brook, and Heather from TX. I am SO glad he got rid of Christy- I couldn't believe she made it this far. I can't understand how she got SO emotional after NINE days!? If I were Aaron, I'd have run the other way...............

:p

This show has definetly become my new guilty pleasure! And yes, Christy came on strong! I wonder if she will ever be able to recover. Let's hope for her sake that her future dates have not seen this show or else she'll have a tough time finding a guy!

Brooke is my fave! :D I am rooting for her all the way. And if this doesn't work out I'm sure she'll find someone because she just seems like a very sweet, classy girl! It also seems like she's had a rough family life, so I feel for her. GO BROOKE!

Any predictions for the new episode on who will get the boot?????? :eek:

http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/...4_mmoorree.jpg

Aaron has to go from 6 women to 4 now.
My prediction is that he will cut Heather from Texas and maybe Haley (or Angela). I feel pretty confident that he will keep Helene, Brooke and Gwen. It could go either way between Haley & Angela. I do think that Aaron will be a bit disappointed in her Heather's display of sniping about Brooke's youthful age.

All I have to say is
















GO BROOKE

I will probably miss it tomorrow! I am so upset too! You guys will have to keep me updated!

I am rooting for Helene and Heather from Texax.

I hope he gets rid of Heather from Texas. I dont like her since she was not talking real good about Brooke in the last episode. He might also eliminate Haley. I think she is cute, but i really havent seen any interaction between the two.

I really think he will keep Brooke, Gwen, Helene! Maybe Angela. Like others have said, it could go either way!

I cant wait for tonight, but since i might not be home, I am going to tape it just to make sure!!:D
