in this thread we discuss the new bachelor
 

So they just picked the new bachelor and I'd like to go on record saying that I think they should've picked the other guy. Who wants to end up with a dude who fishes for a living and has crow's feet the size of Nevada?

Okay...for those of us on the west coast, we don't know who it is!! Will you be willing to tell us?? Or should I not peek at this board until tomorrow?!?! ;) ;)

Okay, I should revise my earlier post -- I have to give Byron credit for saying he'd marry a woman who doesn't want kids when Jay said he wouldn't. He gets major points for that.

WTF was he thinking by picking that weird ass Krysta woman? She's the ugliest one there but has the most awful attitude, although she'll be amusing for the drama factor.

I'm basically giving up on these shows. I don't know if I'm going to be interested in seeing Bachelorette 3 in the winter. I too thought the professional fisherman shouldn't have been picked. In fact, I think he's freaky looking. :rolleyes:

It's half over here in Germany...I'm so sad that Jay was sent away. He just seems more sincere to me. I wish that he and Tanya would've been able to hook up. They seem like a cute couple. Maybe, the ones that liked him better will get to contact him afterwards! That would be nice. :)

...now for the second half. Looks interesting!

Thoughts about last night


ABC exes: Stop trying to make Krsta this season's Trish. Krsta is annoying. As much as I dislike Trish, she was very pretty. Krsta is just not attractive. The whole 'psycho- woman- who -would- do whatever- it -takes- to- get- the- man- on -national television storyline was so 5 seconds ago.

Krsta: SHUT UP. YOU ARE NOT TRISH. YOU COULD NEVER BE TRISH. SO STOP TRYING TO BE TRISH

Amy: Girl, I wish you had gotten a rose. It would have been fun to see you and Krsta go at it. Major props to you and those other girls for putting Krsta in check when she started trashing thar Kristie girl for no reason

Andrea: Feeling a connection already?:eek: You hadn't in been in the house 24 hours!! HITH are you feeling a connection already? HITH is the connection so strong that it made you cry? Get it together girl

Jayne: You are so cute. You are my early favorite. Hope that is not you having a nervous breakdown in the previews

Bryon: Not even the brightest of lights could make you look attratetive. Not seeing it AT ALL. But the girls thought you had some redeeming quailities (do no what they are) so I guess I stuck looking at your mug this season

Jay should have been the Bachelor.

Byron can take all the showers he wants, but he'll always look dirty to me.

We all know Krysta will stick around for a number of episodes solely for the drama factor.

I don't understand how the fuck any stupid bitch can "feel heartbroken" after some guy you've only known for less than 24 hours. Quit your crying honey, he's not all that.

I still don't understand why anyone could just willfully put themselves up on the auction block like that...and some of these girls are actually smart!

Hooray for the two new girls they'll add later on. It's on now.

I liked Jay better. I liked what I saw of him on all the morning shows before the show aired, and he just looks more distinguished. Nontheless, I'm sure I'll be watching every week :rolleyes:

This show really baffles me -- it seems like every season, the women get more and more catty to each other, and I don't get it. What's the point of being all mean to each other to compete for the guy? What's the point of wanting to "win" at any cost?

The mature, sensible way to play the game would be to try to spend as much time with fisher dude as possible to see if your relationship with him develops and if you both really dig each other. Being mean to the other women has absolutely no bearing on that at all, and why would anybody want to win if she wasn't really into him or he wasn't really into her? You could go through the whole game being perfectly nice to the other women, and I don't see how it would hurt you at all as long as you don't tell them too much of your business.

I thought that dental woman from Denver was freaky too, the way she was crying about her connection with him even though it looked like she had spent almost no time with him. They must get some pretty unstable women as contestants -- I've never met anyone in real life who is such a freak about wanting to land the dude, and they're all talking crazy shit about how they can see themselves marrying him after 30 seconds. It's a fascinating world that I do not understand.

When I first started watching the show, I thought, "these women are an older group than the past shows...they're will be less cattiness as the women will be more mature...."

As I continued watching the show, my mind changed...now I'm realizing how much more desperate some of these women are which will only increase the cattiness....

I think someone needs to send them a DVD of "Mean Girls." They're acting just as catty.....

JMO...

I admit that I watched it. Well I mostly fast forwarded through it. :)

Krista: wasn't she the chick who was all like "the man has to know how to order a good bottle of wine" and her attitude was like "he has to take care of me".

You know what gets me about this show every time is the fact that the women don't know how to deal with "their boyfriend dating 14 other women". HELLO that is the game. Morons. Yes, I do realize that women are going to start falling for him, I get that. But geez these women act like he is the "only man for them". :rolleyes:

I think the older women can sometimes be more catty bc they feel like they have to prove themselves better than these younger girls and they have a lot more on the line so to speak.

Also, I am always surprised more women don’t turn the bachelor down. It’s like all these girls going crazy for this guy, how do all these women think he is attractive? Maybe it’s just me and I am picky, but honestly if he isn’t my “type” I know right away. I’m not just talking looks wise.

I was a Jay fan too!
 

I'll admit it - I thought Jay should have been the bachelor. After the men's rose ceremony I turned off the tv and went to bed!

Jay DEF should've been the bachelor!!! Byron su-ucks. And Kelly is stupid.

Awwww... it was so nice of Brandy to wear fishing lures in her ears last night to make Byron feel at home!

Seriously, she looked really bad. She's beautiful, but looked like crap last night!!

Comments/thoughts on the show? I didn't watch the premier so I don't know that much about the women.

Re: I was a Jay fan too!
 

Me too! I was sad that Jay didn't win. :(

I really, really like Jayne. She's sweet and NORMAL, unlike some of these women who come off as really aggressive and kind of weird. I have no idea why he picked Krysta again, but she is amusing even though her attitude is not warranted based on how freaky looking she is. I'm waiting for the woman from Denver to have a complete emotional breakdown.

I also thought it was really cool how that one woman left. I'd love to find out how things turned out for her.

I think this is exactly why he's keeping her around...keep the ratings going!

Yeah, I agree. I wonder if the producers encouraged him to keep her.

Comments:

Krysta: You are not 28. There is NWIH you could be 28. You look more like 38. And stop trying to be like Trish. You look like your are trying to force yourself in being evil. It's just annoying and you come off looking fake

Andrea: Insecure much? You're like a heartbeart away from having a nervous breakdown. This co-dependent act of yours is getting pretty annoying. (but it's slightly more interesting then watching Krysta trying to be "evil")

ABC execs: How much did you pay Krysta to say note in that one scene between her and Kristie?:rolleyes: :eek: She must had said it 50 times in the span of like 5 minutes. Where is pop-up video when you need it:D And what's the big ideal of putting this episode on at the same time as the Apprentice? That was just wrong

Jayne: You are still my favorite right now.

For some reason I can't find the urge to pay attention this season. It's just....boring. :(

Glad I'm not the only one, I'm totally disappointed. I think Jay would've made it better. I hate Krysta, she looks like the biotch my cousin just broke off his engagement to. I guess I'll watch it anyway, just because we don't have that many channels over here!

aj

Bwah ha ha ha ha........do you still feel that way, Valkyrie? LOL

Okay, this thread needs a resurrection. I think Byron is blech and yucky. I so wanted it to be Jay, but the ladies voted and 'twas not to be. :(

I think Cindy is a bit of a weirdo too...it's like her different personalities are putting bizarre expressions on her face.

And in praise of MoxieGrrl, who coined the phrase "dehydrated dinosaur" here, I have to say that Byron is the new dehydrated dinosaur. BLECH!

I was surprised that Cherese got the boot last night. Cindy is WAY weirder...but according to my husband 'he totally did her'. I feel bad for Mary. I kind of thought she was at the top, but after those dates, who knows! I'm still kind of partial to Tanya because she's from my hometown!

Unfortunately, it's still pretty dull.

aj

Wow you guys, I said that Jayne was normal! WTF?

Of the three remaining women, I think Cindy is really fun, but like CP2000 I'm wondering what's up with her weird facial expressions, especially after he gives her a rose. I really thought she'd be the one sent home last night, but I was wrong yet again. I'm kind of feeling like he's going to pick Mary.

I not sure if I have a feeling over who he'll pick, but if he does NOT pick Mary, I will feel really terrible for her. Rejected twice on National TV would be brutal. Mind you, I wonder if her being on the Bachelor when Bob was The Bachelor, if it seriously hurt her lovelife? I would think that it might? (Mind you, how many men watch the Bachelor?)

As for Jayne...ha ha ha! Yeah, Valkyrie, she fooled us all! :eek:

Mary is the one I'm rooting for. I seriously don't even watch the entire episode, I end up recording it and just watch the rose ceremony. I loved Mary when she was on Bob and I think she is still adorable. So of course I want Mary to get the final rose.

My sister and I were talking about this last night, we both feel that she got the shaft with Bob. He knew that she wanted to get married and have a family and I don't think getting married was actually a part of Bob's intentions, let alone having a family right away.

Mary and Byron seem to be a bit of a better match (IMPO).

So who else watched the cat fight tonight on "The Women Tell All"?

Hokay, if you're going to subject yourself to kissing the ass of a guy who's not even HOT for weeks and weeks, and then bitching about how you were screwed over by said ugly man, then I'm sorry...you don't have the right to feel sorry for yourself or even try to gain the pity of the audience. :rolleyes:

Still, I hope Krysta's cursed for the rest of her dating life. I pity the fool who ends up dealing with her and her issues.

Okay, I've totally never watched this show, but....

What's the deal with the next season of the Bachelor? I heard a snippet of something on the radio the other morning about the fact that the new bach is going to be "someone famous, funny, and from the midwest". The DJs were guessing Drew Carey-any ideas?

EW.

Having someone famous as the Bachelor is just stupid -- didn't they learn from that stupid QB they had -- I don't even remember his name now. If you're famous and need to go on the Bachelor, you have problems.

Have they already chosen the next Bachelor? I thought that would be later....hmmmmmmm.......I know that the upcoming season in the winter would be The Bachelorette...

January will be Jen Scheft as The Bachelorette (the one that Andrew Firestone picked, then it went sour).

I wish they would return to attractive Bachelors. Bob was unattractive and so was Byron. Aaron was pretty good on the eyes.......

I think I am changing my mind that Mary will be the last one. I think he'll go with his horniness and pick Tonya. They seem to have more passion somehow.

You know, I'm really torn on this -- I thought he was going to keep Cindy because they had so much spark -- in my opinion more than he had with either of the other women. He seems to be all about the really serious, family oriented women -- which makes me think he's going to pick Mary because she comes off as so serious. But who knows -- after all, I liked Jayne at first too so what do I know... ;)

I wish Tanya would have won but I like Mary and Byron they seem happy.

I had issues with Tanya's dress at the end.....it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

I thought maybe he'd propose to Tanya's boobs. WTF??

can i just ask what the deal is with byron's hair? It was horrible on the show (um, the wet look is out) but on the After the Final Rose Show it was even worse, if that's possible! They do seem happy, although looking at the track record of all of the bacholers on the show the possibility of a marriage is pretty slim!
