The new Bachelor - Page 9

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

I was screaming and squealing the whole time. The minute I saw Kirsten get out first I was like "YESSSSSSSSS HE KNOWS!!!!!" AND what realllllly annoyed me was when Kirsten was saying how she wanted to vomit and so forth, and ya know Jen would have not said that but said something more classy. Just goes to show good girls do win!

I was rooting for Jen all the way. She's just so down to earth and her and Andrew seem to complement each other perfectly. Although it seemed as if Andrew had fallen for Kirsten through the entire time, it was just lust and not love. I hope Jen and Andrew stay together, unlike the previous bachelors' break-ups.

I am SO THRILLED that he chose Jen.

But did anyone think it was a lil awkward when he asked her to marry him?? The whole thing was just weird to me. They didn't seem like they were in this equal relationship...she just seemed uncomfortable, I dunno.

I watched the last hour-- OMG I was crying so hard!!
I did think the proposal was lacking in romance. i think Trista and Ryan had a way better ending, BUT I think Andrew and Jen will be happy. I think Jen is the kind of girl we'd all like for a friend.

I guess I am the only person who was rooting for Kirsten. I don't know, I agree that her speech was TOTALLY annoying, but Jen just seemed like this simpering little vanilla-pudding thing. I guess I always root for the bitch.

I'm happy and not about the outcome. On the one hand, seeing Kirsten crying and upset was very satisfying because she is just a horrible, vacant, insecure little person (or at least she came off that way on tv). On the other hand, I liked Jen, but I don't really think that Andrew is the prize that these women were making him out to be. Hello -- this is Andrew, and I'd like to order one large personality please! He is boring beyond words, and the thought of spending the rest of my life on a vineyard with him is, as Tina Fabulous (who was my favorite by the way) would say, not fabulous at all.

i have only seen a few episodes this season and watched the whole thing tonight.

I always root for girls with my name

so i am glad he picked ME... er JEN!

Yeah... Kristen sounded too much like Jackie from that 70's show. All looks and no substance... kinda like Andrew's sisters were saying.

And come on... you don't give a girl a monogramed bath robe if you don't plan on seeing her again.

count me in the boat with you!

Ok did anyone REALLY believe when he said he was in love with Jen? He's in love with the fact that Jen fits into his life and family. He was very attracted to Kristen. Everytime he talked about Kristen, he said how gorgeous she was and all that. I liked how she liked animals and she's very excited about life. But I knew she messed up the moment she mentioned her ex. His brother should have told him about the convo, but I think he kinda put too much on it. He even said he was leaning towards Kristen before that. If that's all it took for you to make your choice*shrug* I dunno.

As for the last part, Kristen looked STUNNING when she came up and when Jen came up, well....not hating but that dress she had on was either too big or just not the right fit.

Kristen messed herself up, but I was still rooting for her.

I completely agree. The only episode that I watched was last night's and I would have to say that I was rooting for Jen. She definitely appeared more classy and grown-up than Kirsten. (Jen saying that she just wants Andrew happy be it with her or not whereas Kirsten was POSITIVE that she was going to get the ring - and wanting to vomit when she was rejected was TACKY!). I could tell that there was more than just lust between Jen and Andrew. And Kirsten's attitude when asked about her ex-boyfriend. . . . not very mature (there were other ways to have a discussion in a mature manner than getting as defensive as she did!).

Just my two cents!

I would also like to mention that Jen is an Alpha Xi Delta from our Pi Chapter at Ohio University.
She made us proud last night!

I thought Kirsten was a brick. I didn't watch much of this season, but I did watch all last night and I just couldn't see Kirsten holding her own in a room full of rich, high-society people at some fundraiser or party. Jen definitely has that posie. And while he may have been hot for Kirsten, perhaps seeing the ladies with his family made him realize that being a hottie isn't all that's important in a relationship. I think the fact that he is nervous and awkward around Jen shows that he really digs her and wants to impress her. When he was with Kirsten he knew it was a sure thing so there was no awkwardness.

Did anyone hear Kirsten say: "Of course my mom was weary when she heard his last name was Firestone. I mean, who wouldn't be weary of that?" Hello, dummy! You're not tired of the name!!!!

Yes, she is dumb (or at least they made her out to sound dumb). It was hard for me to understand what she was trying to say most of the time because she phrased every comment? to Andrew? in the form? of a question? you know?

Plus sometimes she sounded like she had a piece of candy in her mouth.

I was glad that Jen won. And I was SOOOO glad when the brother told Andrew about her ex-boyfriend situation!

Also happy that Bob will be the new Bachelor, but I thought that maybe they would alternate between having The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

LOL!!!! THAT explains the " Congratulations Jen Firestone, OU's Super Fuzz " sign on their house this morning!!!!! I was really confused because that's their chapter specific greek award and Jen was not the name of the girl who won it at Greek Awards last night!

**edited because I got the sign wrong the first time

LeslieAGD · #14 05-19-2003, 11:29 PM

I was kinda leaning towards Kirsten, and then I heard the whole boyfriend nonsense!

Now I'm glad Jen ended up with Andrew.

APhiRattlerGal · #15 05-20-2003, 11:48 AM

I'm sorry but I'm soooo glad Andrew didnt pick Kirsten.....she wouldn't fit in with his family. She has class, but i think she's more in for the $ than for love. Thats just my take on it. I didnt like her the moment i heard her speak or the way she glared at the other woman so HA i'm glad she lost!!
