Wow, where was I when people were trying to figure out if he's Greek? Cuz that person from UMR would be ME...

Anyway, if anyone still cares, I'm not too sure on his Greek affiliation. Our newspaper reported that he pledged Delta Sigma Phi in the spring of 1994, but that chapter closed the summer of 1994... the article said he was not initiated due to it closing; however, my roommate's sister knew him and said that he WAS initiated. It's hear-say, but better than nothing, eh?

This guy apparently lives an hour away from my house (Springfield!) and he even lived in Joplin for a while for highschool (I live directly north of Joplin--technically not Joplin, but nobody recognizes my town so that's what I say

) And if anybody wants to stalk me there, too bad b/c I'm never there

and my parents are moving anyway lol

To add another comment to what I said earlier: when Aaron was deciding between Brooke and Gwen and the camera gave a Brooke closeup (twice actually), you could tell she knew she wasn't going to be selected. It was so evident in her that she wasn't the one, that I was really surprised she was given a rose. Ya never now. M'mmm, who knows, maybe she'll be the final one.

There's a lot of stuff that goes on behind camera that we don't see and they could be editing some of the clips to disguise some of his "love" feelings. I was really surprised when he said he's in love with one of them, cuz that depth of feeling between Helene, Brooke, and Aaron only shows through Brooke.

I'm still banking on Helene, mainly cuz of logic, but love isn't always logical.

Brooke is too good for him.

I still think he's going for brooke. I picked the last one so let's see if I can go two for two!
I think he would have let brooke go this round because it's obvious that she would be very hurt, but that's my opinion. Oh and I don't really enjoy hellene.

Man, wednesday's show was a shocker!

I really thought he was going to pick Helene and Gwen and let Brooke go. He even said that is what he was planning on doing too, but when he saw Brooke, things changed.

I dont like Helene! Unfortunately, i think she will be the last one standing. I was reading on the abc.com message boards, and people on there have said that several people have seen Helene in Springfield, and she is the winner. I doubt they would allow her to move to springfield while the show is airing though!

It was so sad to see Gwen go, and he even told her he couldnt look into her eyes and tell her that that was the right decision. I also heard when Gwen said to the camera that Aaron told her he is falling in love with one of them, and im sure it's Helene. He seems to be really into her, and I think he has had that attraction for her all along..... remember when he gave her his number in case she ended up dropping out?

Poor Brooke, you can tell she is really falling in love with him and is showing all her emotions on her sleeve. I hope she wins because she has a great heart, she is sweet and caring.

What do you think about him getting that star named after Brooke's sister? I thought it was really sweet of him-- who knows maybe she is the one!

I saw the clips for the last show, and she looks so pretty in that red dress!

Helene seems to me like she never fixes herself up for anything. She is always just wearing her hair down and doesnt do anything with it, like she doesnt really care!

So, next week is the reunion show. Is the following week, the finale???? Do any of you know if they are still going to meet Aaron's parents??

Next week all the girls that were rejected by Aarron will be on for a special where bascially they bitch. then the week after that is the finale.
I was suprised by Aaron's choices. I thought he would choose Gwen and Helene bc he was always saying positives about Gwen and how he could see himself with her. I felt that the five min before he made his decision helped him in choosing Brooke bc she started crying. i think Brooke is a great girl though.

Even though the suspense is killing me, I really do want to here what the "rejected girls" have to say. It seemed like they were really going to dig into Aaron! Atleast from the tv shows perspective, he really seems like a nice guy. Can he help it if all these girls fall in love with him?

Actually when I watched the show I felt like, any relationship would be accelerated if you went on all of those magical dates! If I was Gwen with the princess date, I would definetly be swept off my feet.

Most of us our busy with school, work, families, other responsibilities we can't just whisk away for a month and have romantic evenings. It's all so surreal so I think that's why girls fall so fast?? What do you think?

I think I'd agree with that... it's like a dream and you just get caught up in the fantasy of it and I think it's easier to go with what "should" happen in a fantasy regardless of real objections or worries/fears/whatever. If that made sense?

Some of the guys I dated I think I only dated b/c it seemed like we'd make such a good couple, forget the fact that I didn't completely like him, it just seemed like a good idea "on paper"...

Emotions can be so complicated. Bah!

UofIL AXO · #84 11-08-2002, 04:59 PM

Aaron has a few interesting things to say in the ABC Bachelor website ..

http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/...lor/diary.html

I think the fact that he had his mind set on Helene shows that she's the mysterious one that he told Gwen he was falling in love with. Also, from the diary it doesn't seem like he picked Brooke to "make it easier on himself." You never know!

IowaHawkeye · #85 11-08-2002, 05:25 PM

apparently brooke isn't greek - but she's a "Bama Girl" football hostess... i guess it's a big honor and they take recruits to the games and give tours. I could totally see that - she's such a cute girl, she'd make a good impression!

FAB*SpiceySpice · #86 11-08-2002, 07:19 PM

I want Brooke to win, but I don't think Aaron wants to marry someone so young.....

As for Helene, I kinda sorta liked her and I can really see her and Aaron together b/c they're comfortable enough to be romantic with each other AND make fun of each other. He doesn't tease anyone else the way he does with her, so that's why I think it's her that he loves. She just seems a bit....off though, I dunno?

Oh well, regardless of what happens, I am SOOOO excited for the finale!! And next week should be pretty funny too, just to see the girls reacting to psycho Christi and her backstabbing comments come to life. Haha, that will be VERY entertaining.

valkyrie · #87 11-08-2002, 10:17 PM

Well, I think Helene rocks, and I think that they are really good together. They're goofy and sexy and everything that people should be around someone they're into. She just doesn't kiss his butt and act like a delicate little flower like, say, Brooke. I have nothing against Brooke at all and I think she's a great girl, but I guess I just relate more to an independent woman who is who she is and says what she wants to say because that IS who she is and not because she's trying to make the "right" impression on someone. To me, that person is Helene.

I was totally shocked that he didn't pick Gwen. As much as I'm the head cheerleader of the Helene camp, I did think that he was going to end up with Gwen and Helene as the final two, and that he may well end up picking Gwen at the end. I think he picked Brooke because (1) he loves Helene and (2) he just felt sorry for Brooke and couldn't cut her loose. She is way too fragile -- the way she got all teary when he was talking to her right before the decision -- it just probably tugged on the ol' heartstrings a little too much and he just couldn't do it. It's like something REALLY hard he's going to have to do eventually, but he's going to leave it for later because, well, it's just so hard. She's going to be crushed. Gwen, with more maturity, was able to handle it better, and he knew that. At least now Brooke can say she made it to the end...

Of course, I could be *totally* wrong...

UofIL AXO · #88 11-13-2002, 05:20 PM

Predictions anyone for tonight?

Not as fun as picking out roses for a rose ceremony but just as interesting ...

Obviously Christi will start crying and still not get why Aaron didn't like her. Heather from Texas will probably be just as angry/tearful. I think the most interesting aspect will be to see how Aaron responds to these women. I wonder also if he'll give any hints as to who he's leaning towards or we can get a good idea from the "Scenes from the next bachelor." I can't wait! I think this reunion special will be just as good as any other episode even if it is dragging out the finale!

jess_pom · #89 11-13-2002, 06:19 PM

Ok, I read yesterday on People online or something that people have spotted Aaron with his final choice.

Quit reading if you don't want to know...

appearantly he chose Helene. But I don't know how much credit to give to the reports I've read. He's been seen out and about with her in his hometown as of late. Hmmm... I always thought that the final choice was live, I guess I was wrong.

Well, it could possibly live. Perhaps they were seen when he was in her hometown meeting her family.

I still have hope that Brooke will win.
