The Bachelor

[Marla]

Okay guys, 'fess up....who's been watching this show besides me? Renee? Karla? Someone else must be watching.

Next week is his final decision. Who will it be???? Brooke or Helene??

[MaryL]

Me, me, me!!!!!!!!! I think it's going to be Brooke. I was sooooo hoping it would be Gwen. :( Did you see the show last night? I felt bad for Gwen, I think it was hard for her to see Aaron.

I'm a COMPLETE addict!! :lol: :blush:
I'm afraid it's going to be Helene - just the connection he's had to her from the very beginning..... I don't like her.....

I saw the show last night, and felt terrible for Gwen --- they would have made a great couple. I think his answer last night as to why he let her go was a cop out - she basically didn't stroke his ego, from the way I heard it.... I think she gave the MOST sincere, thoughtful answer. Like she said, she wasn't going to go in there and beg him to pick her....

How 'bout those other girls.... whoa!! Catty catty!!!

[KarlaB]

Another addict! LOL!

I felt really bad for Gwen last night :( - was wishing he'd say he made a BIG mistake, but I'm sure the show would have killed him and I think all in all he is just really overwhelmed. I think he is really into Helene and I can't stand her. Her voice and mannerisms just bug me. :rolleyes:

Forgot about some of those women until I saw them again last night! 8o What was up with Heather being so offended about the food/fattening them up coment when she is the one that was first joking about it and saying it was all part of her game plan because they were all so skinny, blah, blah, blah. :rolleyes:

[Marla]

I only got to see the last 15 minutes last night...I forgot about it 8o
I did see when Aaron came out on the stage; I felt so bad for Gwen.

I hope that he choses Brooke tonight...they look like a great couple. Helene looks more like his sister :rolleyes:

I am an Amazing Race addict....but check into the Bachelor usually during commercials....I too thought he would choose Gwen....actually thought he would take Suzzane to the finish with him...but....I think Brooke would be better for him...but he will choose Helen...just cuz he likes the challenge.... Heck they are all willin to be with him...what's the challenge????

I thought the show last night was kinda sad.....missed anyone dishing...although I did see that Chissy girl....she could use Dr. Phill....:lol:

I've missed the last two shows. I don't normally watch any of these kinds of shows but saw the intro about the guy and was hooked from there. I'm another one that thought it was going to be Gwen. Really surprising for me that she's been cut. Up until these last two people that were cut that I missed, I felt he was making good selections.

Is Helene the one he was saying was so hard to get to know?

[JAK]

I've been watching too. I missed the first show and half of the second, but have watched all the rest...

I thought in the end it would be Brook and Gwen ?( I think he'll choose Brook, although I think he should have stuck with Gwen. She loked so upset the other night. Those two need some alone time to really discuss their feelings w/o the cameras.

Hailey is from a local town. One of the radio stations was interviewing her (she sounded really nice) and asked her who she thought he would pick. She said Helene. She hoped he would pick Brooke but still went with Helene. Her reasoning was that he had complained a couple of times about how hard she was to get to know but he keeps picking her and coming back. Hailey thinks he likes the challange Helene presents. She described Brooke as a really nice person. In fact she called her Brookie. Just by what she wasn't saying, I don't think she liked Helene very much.

Of those that made the first two cuts, Helene didn't impress me and the one that seemed so young bugged me. The one that started crying over the fight at the table because another girl asked her why she always rolled her eyes.

Did you know they aren't allowed to watch TV, listen to the radio, or read newspaper, magazines or even BOOKS!? I'd go crazy.

Ugh! I'd go nuts! :crazyroll What are they supposed to do all day? I suppose they want them to interact as much as possible and not have someone go off alone with a great book. LOL!

Here's a fun link to an interview. First an article, then follow it to the video feed. It's actually fairly long.

I think they don't let them do things so they are forced to interact with each other all the time. If I spent that much *quality* time with anyone - I'd want to beat them over the head. I think that's how they bring out some of the cat fights and such. They all want to know what each other is doing because there's nothing else to do. Makes for more interesting TV for US!

[MaryL]

Do you think that he might not choose either? I notice how the host is always saying, "if you "choose" to pick one girl to propose to..." etc. I don't recall him saying that on the past Bachelor show. I think he'll pick one of them...but wouldn't that be a twist if he didn't choose either!!8o

[Lynda-WA]

On that internet clip (from some news show), he said he is still seeing *her* 2 months later. He said the airing of the show has caused some pressure though.

On Real World and even Big Brother they have the same restrictions- they just want the people to interact with each other and not just watch tv and ignore each other.

On the Real World season that they taped when Sept 11th happened, they actually gave them a tv so that they could watch that, but I think that's just because it was such a huge thing in everyone's lives.

I admit it I too am addicted. I have been watching the show from the start..something about those reality shows .

I am glad to see that it isn't just me as far as Helene goes. I'm not sure what it is about her but I can't stand her!

I was hoping it was going to be Gwen..and I think from the last show that he realized he made a big Uh Oh after seeing her again.

I now wish he would choose Brooke. But I too fear that he is going to pick Helene.
