Anyone catch The Bachelor on Monday night?
 

Maybe I'm just a sucker for reality shows, but I really liked this one! Now, I'm hooked! :p It's also pretty cool because the bachelor's from my hometown :).

He's from your hometown? He is some peice of eye candy. And the girls aren't lacking in the looks department either. I though the whole rose ceremony at the end when he was picking who continues on was half romantic half disgusting. The feminist side of me thought it was a bit degrating. I def. will keep watching tho since I'm a sucker for that stuff. As long as no one is eating anything gross or alive I'll watch Reality TV.

Barffff!!!!

If you did a "B" movie making fun of a tasteless, brainless, witless bachelor it would look like him. What girl would even think of getting involved in marrying some guy (or even pretending she wanted to) that she barely new and then threw herself in public to get.

You talk about self-degrading....geesh.

Hey ZTA Michelle! Yes, he lives in my hometown -- San Francisco, California. I thought the shots of The City were amazing (in the first few minutes of the show, they showed him around the streets of SF and him riding a cable car. Also, there were shots of a sunset in SF around the "Painted Ladies" -- those famous Victorian Houses...the TV show "Full House" was filmed in one of those "Painted Ladies.").

Didn't you guys think that the part with the roses was a bit cheesy? I was like, "Geez." I also felt so badly for the blonde girl who was crying b/c she wasn't picked.

Periwinkle -- Yeah, I also thought it was mighty brave/ridiculous for him to meet his "future wife" on this show, and equally stupid for a woman to marry him just on the basis of this show, but I have to admit that this show is addicting!

I'd love to see the female version of this show -- "The Bachelorette." Now THAT would be awesome! (25 yummy-looking guys!)

I have a night class on mondays so I was only able to catch the end, but I thought it looked interesting. The scenes for upcoming episodes looked good too...can everyone say "catfight"? :)

Oh yes, I watched it-I always get sucked in to these kind of shows-no matter how much I swear I won't watch !! But I did roll my eyes everytime a girl was like-I came here to meet my dream man and I'm going to marry him, etc.. barf barf!!

I didn't watch it, but I've seen the commercials. He's a hottie. The concept seems to be a less cheesy version of "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" to me. The goal of these shows is to win a marriage to a man that these women have just met. I guess he's the prize. :rolleyes:

I also didn't watch it but have to say that it'd be interesting to see how everything turns out. From what I hear he doesn't have to propose to any of them and they don't have to accept his proposal either. So that's good!


Hootie

I have never even heard of this show and it sounds interesting what channel and when is it on?

Okay, who is going to tune in on Thursday for the Season Finale?
I know this is such TV trash, and yet it is like a car accident!
I just can't look away! LOL!

So who do y'all want Alex to choose?
Amanda? or Trista? My vote is with Trista, myself! :D

What was the deal with the plastic sheet :eek: and chocolate sauce with Amanda? KINKY!....It was strongly hinted that they got it on....

youre so right... it is such trash but we are all addicted here - lol!

i am sooo sooo sooo glad he got rid of shannon - all she did was act like a jealous girlfriend the whole time - she knew the premise of the show, she knew there would be other girls alex would be seeing, kissing, and spending time with - there is no need to be acting all territorial with him. plus, she got mad at him for asking simple questions and when he wanted to talk about things people in a relationship talk about - if youre going to be with someone you have to be willing to give all of you, the bad/good, the restrictions and the limitations to them - just lay it all on the table. thats why i like trista a lot. she told him up front, i'm in like with you, but i don't love you yet. and honestly, i don't see how she could be in love - they've only had 3 dates and he's been spending time with so many other girls. she's taking it slow and letting him know there's barriers, but one by one, together theyre breakingthem down... amanda... yeah, not much to say on her :rolleyes: she seemed all to eager to jump in bed (yet so did he with that whole sex in a plastic sheet dessert) - i wonder what would have happened happened with the whole room had alex not been lying on his sick bed....

I'm interested to watch the reunion part were the women talk about the experience...can we say bitch fest? hehe

I love that show, I am so torn because the Bachelor and Survior are on at the same time !! My one sister and I are totally adicted to each and every reality TV show!!!

I'm adicted. I kinda want to see Amanda win because the other women were all saying she was too young and blah blah blah...she's my age, so I just could relate though. Not that I would have put myself in her place at all. It's just not my thing to compete for a guy on national tv. However, I do think the better match is Trista. She is just real with him. From the commercials it looks like he will propose even though he doesn't have to. He does keep mentioning lines like, "her stunning beauty...she's hot." I'm sure their kids will be impressed when they watch the reruns on tape. :p

I was thrilled when Shannon got the boot. He was asking basic relationship questions, and she just was too much! The fighting all the time, and for goodness sakes, anyone could see that he was at least trying to work it out with her. He did keep her for the round after she was cold toward him the last one. He even got rid of the cameras, even though I betcha the producers of the show were pretty mad about it.

Would anyone here want to be on the show? I don't think I would mesh with him, so I'm out.

Oh and the next one is looking for more bachelors...I don't see any of "The Bachelorette" in the furture. Such a shame.

Shannon...
