THE BACHELOR: An Officer and a Gentleman
 

Ok ladies, the newest season of The Bachelor has been filming since the beginning of the year. The wrap party happened last week on the North Shore.

I'm sure y'all have already seen pix of Dr. Andy the Naval doctor, triathlete, model, Duke grad, yada yada. But just in case you didn't, here he is:

The Bachelorettes

I don't know who he ended up picking (and I certainly won't post it here if and when I do ;) ) but he was having a "good time" at the W on Saturday. :rolleyes:

I'm unsure at this point if I (or any of our Skyline/W crowd) will watch it. I don't think I can stomach it.

Okay here is my personal favorite bachelorette description:

- Peyton, a 24-year-old sorority recruiter who currently resides in Dallas, TX


What the heck is a sorority recruiter? I've never heard of this job. I've heard of recruitment advisors, recruitment officers, recruitment chairs, but not sorority recruiter :confused:

LOL, I didn't even catch that. I know collegians are technically sorority recruiters when it comes time for recruitment, but I've never seen anyone list it as their occupation! :eek:

Now the real question is -- which sorority does she belong to?

Knowing the kind of person Andy is and judging from the last five girls he's dated/screwed around with, I doubt that he and Peyton will have much in common. Of course I could be totally wrong, but it'll be interesting to see if he steps out of "the usual".

Didn't mention what sorority she is a member of. Who knows, she could probably be one of the 26 (nationals that is) because she is living in Dallas Texas.

I just check abc.com and the "official" site with the bachelorettes photos and mini bio's isn't up yet. The only thing up is the bio on the bachelor

Arlington is right outside Dallas and that is where Tri Delta is headquartered. I am guessing she works for their HQ. ETA: There is a Peyton who works at their HQ.

Andy is cute but I find the ads for the show ANNOYING. He's a SAILOR, not a SOLDIER. And while he is a sailor, we tend to call officers officers, not sailors.

But semantics.

This is why Duke sucks. Dorkiest looking white people, ever.

I know my fraternity employs full-time recruitment consultants, who are paid by the fraternity to help with rush at schools in a certain region. It may be something similar to that.

The "Bachlorette" second from the top right (the one that has the "eat shit" look on her face) kinda looks like Ann Coulter.

Maybe its the picture but he looks plastic. I know we've talked about Spencer from the Hills looking like a Ken doll but I think Dr Andy takes the cake on that one.

I doubt I'll be watching this season, the Bachelor lost its appeal to me a few seasons back.

He reminds me of Mark-Paul Gosslaar (or however you spell his last name)....i.e. ehhhhhhhhhhh

Hmmm...they sure do! She's listed as a "Marketing Coordinator" and she's blonde!

This might be worth watching!

She does!

Peyton is definitely a Tri Delt! I actually was just on InCircle (like a private facebook/myspace for Tri Delts) and they had a group discussion page on her. I believe she was a field consultant a couple of years back from our University of Tennessee chapter, and continues to work for Nationals.


Generally, I can't stand "The Bachelor," but I might have to watch to support my fellow Tridelta!

The name itself, "Peyton", makes me think of that babysitter villain that Rebecca DeMornay played, in "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle".

I'm not digging this bachelor and I look forward to hearing more dirt from OTW in the 808 (by PM if necessary, girlfriend.... ;) ). :D He looks like a wax figure from "Madame Tussaud's".

Oh it will most definitely be via PM! I'm curious to see if he'll be out and about once the season starts.

That's the thing about living on an island like this. Everybody knows your business.

I'm starting to see that....LOL ;)

That picture of him is terrible.

He is soooo freakin' gorgeous on TV!!!!

Awesome how that one girl (Lindsay) made a complete ass of herself at the end of the show.

Is that the girl from Kansas? I didn't even know they HAD people like that in Kansas! :) She was vile.

I never watched this show . . how does the whole set up work? He just dates them all and picks one? Can he sleep with them? Do they?

Do you think they are actually on there to get married or just exposure?

Lindsay from Lawrence, KS...please tell me she's not in a sorority! :eek:

Her comment about him preferring blondes is BS. To me, Lindsay was pretty...but she was definitely vile (to quote someone earlier). I don't think he has a preference, really -- especially since his last two GF/flavors of the week/whatever you wanna call em have been Asian. ;)

Glad to know he still has that Jeep!

I still don't know who he's chosen (nobody knew as of this weekend), but apparently he's still with the girl and is absolutely madly in love with her, says the mom and dad.

That chick Lindsey was right about his teeth. It's really annoying the hell out of me the entire time. And did he really tear up when that chick sang the anthem? :confused:

My wife couldn't stand her -- or the bug-eyed internet stalker -- and was planning to be very upset if either of them got a rose. (The wife has skipped a few seasons, but decided she wants to watch this one.) I, on the other hand, was pulling for both of them to get roses. If I'm going to be watching this with the wife, at least let there be some psychos in the group. Of course, the one who baked the cake with tequila instead of eggs looked like she could snap any minute.

And I could not stop laughing when the one girl sang the national anthem -- not patriotic of me, I know, but I couldn't help it. I was waiting to see if he felt like he was going to have stand up and put his hand over his heart.

C'mon, Sandy, you've got to fill us in on this guy. Is he really as plastic as he came across on TV?

I haven't watched the Bachelor in FOR-EV-ER but last night, for some reason, I decided to watch.

That Lindsay girl was out of control! I also couldn't stand the bug eyed one and the stalker-ish one who said something like, 'we have so much in common because I go to the gym every morning and work out and i do triathalons and i was in the military' she irked me for some reason.

There seems to be a few pyschos-and I can't wait to see who snaps

i'll admit it... he's hot. guys like that intimidate me though.

For some reason my husband decided I wanted to watch this, so we kept switching to it during commercial breaks in the b-ball game. He'd never really seen it so he was a little in awe of it all. Well, not awe...bewilderment maybe?

Anyway, we both agreed that the girls are not so cute. Most have nice figures, but facially, they really aren't that attractive. Especially when they aren't all made up and in fancy dresses, they seem pretty plain.

That one girl with the bug eyes? Annoying! Someone should have given her a bottle of eye makeup remover to get all of that black crap off her eyes. And her ears looked like a martian's.

Lindsey from Kansas at the end cracked me up:D What kind of idiot acts like that the whole night in front of the man she [supposedly] wants to marry?:rolleyes:

It's weird because he made himself look fairly decent last night. I was expecting a more arrogant Andy...not so much a "fish out of the water OMG I'm so nervous to meet all these women" Andy. Y'all can have him because I know I'm not missing out on anything. I wouldn't mind having that Saleen, though! ;)

I took one close look at him on TV last night, and judging from the fact that he's only 30 and comparing him to the first time I met him two Thanksgivings ago -- he's not aging well. :(

I have to agree with xo_kathy. When you think back to previous seasons, a lot of these girls aren't so cute -- but I'm glad that the majority of them are smart and have careers.

Crossing my fingers that someone brings up his old Match.com profile during this season.

I assure you, that Kansas has more than one. ;)

Ha ha...yes, aging well can sometimes be the best revenge. I would love to see the match.com profile. :)

I haven't watched The Bachelor in a long time but I actually was curious enough to sit and watch this one. I loved how that one lady (and I use the term loosely) made a complete and utter ass over herself. I'd love to see how she's explaining her behavior right now. What a moron.

I had a dream about him last night. Needless to say, I felt dirty when I woke up this morning. :mad:

Other than the Tri Delta bachelorette, do we know of any others that are GLO members?

he looks like a plastic ken doll?

I'm hoping Peyton stays! I thought the bit about her job was great!

i really LOATHE stephanie from south carolina!

and no, it wasn't cute when susan and erin decided to walk around the pool.

nicole seems abrasive.

i love alexis!

Ok the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen twins need to LEAVE!!! Seriously, it's like they were trying to get roses from each other rather than Andy! They are driving me crazy with their "Oh we're best friends now and we're sticking together" garbage!

couldn't have said it better myself! theyre really annoying.

so far, i really like danielle, amber, tessa, and peyton. i i want to throw stephanie from south carolina off a bridge. kate's purple dress was hideous.

Is that the girl with the nauseating purple dress that had the blue underneath?

UM...WHAT THE HECK??!?

i'm disappointed.

yes, i think i had a dress similar to that in 1992. yuck.

i can't believe he gave one of the blonde barbies a rose... neither of them impressed me.
