Coming January 14, 2004: Meredith Is The Bachelorette!
As one fairy tale romance ends happily ever after, so another begins. Be there when Meredith begins her quest for love on The Bachelorette!

This should be interesting....:o

ok now i'm getting all these shows confused...who is meredith? what was sheon?

Meredith was on Bob's Bachelor series.

She was voted most compatible with Bob and her grandmother died right before their date?

Ring any bells? :)

oh thats right!!! thanks!!

I really liked Meredith on the Bachelor, she's not as annoying as Trista... I hope she finds true love.

awwww. She seemed so sweet on the Bachelor. I might finally be interested in watching one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons in its entirety because of her!

Is anyone else as excited about Meredith being the newest Bachelorette as I am?

I think she is so sassy, trendy, and down to earth. This season is going to be so delightful!

Yay! I was secretly hoping it would be Meredith. :)

Here's the link for the show:

This Wednesday. Don't forget!!

Is it just me, or are the men not that attractive?

Maybe, they'll look hotter on TV. But the pics are sorta scary!

I can't wait! It's airing here in Korea on Thursday nights!

I'm happy it's Meredith simply because that other girl (the last one to get cut) seemed marginally too classy to go through that whole experience again.

Meredith was annoying, but NO ONE could be the total fame-whore that I have grown to love hating in Trista.

Darn, I have dance rehearsal the night of the premier.

From discussions on other MBs, I think you either love or hate Meredith. I like her, I think she'll be fun, especially since she's been through this once (meaning, having the cameras on her) she won't be as closed as she was on the Bachelor. Kelly Jo is also appearing as a confidant, I guess, so we'll probably see some of her, too. . .

I love the Brazilian guy, woo hoo!

Four guys are originally from TX, three still reside here. Yay!

Chris R looks like the guy who Malena chose in the first Average Joe.

I didn't like Meredith on The Bachelor, thought she was just kinda blah on the dates, but I read in US Weekly that the host said he didn't want to bash Trista, but she's the realest Bachelorette.

okay so I wasnt going to watch if she was picked as the next bachelorette, but then I decided to give her another shot.

Turns out, I really like her and she seems very down to earth.


I think Rick is HOT, and I loved those slippers!!

I don't really have any favorites. It's too soon. They are all majorly hot though.

I didn't like that guy with the pony tail. He looked creepy to me.

What, you mean the guy who thought being aggressive would help him get a rose? :rolleyes:

I, too, liked Rick...am hoping the San Diego boy makes it all the way to the end :D

Speaking of which, did anyone notice how many of the guys seemed to be from California? I noticed (for certain) six of them, and I'm pretty sure there was more than that.

My roommate knows one of the guys on there!!! Lanny from TX..he's hot!!!! She sat in his lap..he got a rose!

I noticed that too. It may have something to do with the fact that she lives in California. No idea though.

I really liked Chad and Rick!

Did anyone notice Matthew looks like Bob?

He was the first guy out of the limo, yes? If so, I sooo noticed that! I wondered, "Hmm, why is the Bob-look-alike getting out of the car first?" I think it's the Celebrity Mole watcher in me. LOL

YES! I was watching it with my friends and when he stepped out of the limo we both said at the same time, "He looks like Bob!!!!"

I thought the same thing about Matthew!

I totally have a favorite - Marcus! The smile, the voice, the face...He reminds me of the Barber twins from the NFL (Tiki and Ronde) who I think are hotties, so that's probably why. However, I clearly noticed he was NOT in the "This season" scenes - except one. Pretty hard to miss the only black or bald guy - even when they weren't showing faces! :( :p

I liked some of the other guys, too (Lanny was a cutie and seemed sweet). Not sure how I felt about slipper boy. He seems to push the fact that he is "successful". OK, we get it...:rolleyes:

What's the investment banker's name? I think he's hot..the other guys didn't seem all that to me..

Like the show, but I dont think I'l stick around for the whole season.

I think so. I forgot his name......just remember what he looked like...longish brown hair and kinda slimey (to me).

I was hoping that Harold the hockey player would have a bit of that cute Quebec accent (the website lists that he's originally from Montreal), but NO!! :(

Keith was the name of the creepy Fabio-esque, Steven Seagal guy with the gross ponytail.

I got to the say, I thought the slippers were kind of dumb. They were a bit baby'ish, I thought.

Meredith needs to get her teeth fixed...one is kind of "out there" and I keep looking for it...it's very distracting.

Okay, I will go and be off with my b*tchy ways...meow! LOL

And in the spirit of Tina Fabulous and her dehydrated dinosaur ways (and as an homage to MoxieGrrl who deserves the credit as she coined the phrase here), I nominate Aaron for the role of Dehydrated Dinosaur...

I thought she lived in Portland?

I know they were doing casting calls for the Bachelor/Bachelorette here in San Diego, so maybe they were doing the same all around California and the guys that matched up with her "hand-picked wise" were mainly from California?

I thought Portland was Meredith's hometown, and that she now lives in California.

His name is Ian, and from what I saw in the previews...he and Mere get some lip action!

I also think he is hot!

My bad....I remembered them continuously saying she was from Portland, but I just checked on the official show website and it says she's residing in LA....sorry! :o

For some reason this guy reminds me of Evan Marriott with better hair. Maybe its just me.

In checking out the pics of all the guys on the website from ABC, it looks like some have used a little too much self tanner...a la Ryan Seacrest! UGH! Guys with fake bake look silly.

I am with xo Kathy on this one...Marcus is FINE!

Yeah he is!!! He is by far the hottest guy on there.

I don't know why she kept the super religious, hunting, horse breeder guy. They are so incredibly NOT compatible. I thought slipper-dude was too slimy, but I like that Robert guy with the goofy hair. He seems fun.

I really wish they would stop picking rejected people and bring a new bachelorette into the mix!

I checked out the first episode and I really don't think very many of the guys are attractive. There were maybe five that I liked - including Marcus and Harold the Hockey Player. :)

I'll probably flip in and just check out the rose ceremonies.
