The New Bachelor

[VegasAngel]

A few things already mentioned:


I totally noticed the sideburns.

Naomi resembling Eva- she does & I couldnt think of who it is/was she looked like, thank you.

Stephanie-She seems like a sweet woman but I too agree there is no chemistry there & she does look older than her age.

I'm glad he sent the girl demanding a rose home.

Woah!! Can't believe I had already forgotten!! She was still struggling to walk when she was leaving the house after rose ceremony. Between her and Shannon during there one on one conversations on the group date, I couldn't tell who drank more... These girls don't seem to ever be without some sort of alcoholic beverage.

I don't think I've mentioned how much I LOVE that Jason has a severe inability to hide his emotions!! I makes for some real crack ups!! The face he made when Shannon was, let's admit it, she was groveling; was one of the most hilarious expressions I have ever seen. We had to back the whole sceen up and replay it!!

 

[blackpolkadot]

Oh, the sideburns! I could not stop staring!


And I was shocked when Nikki said something like ''Stephanie''s been married before and has a child. Sadly, her husband died, but she''s been married. Give me a chance to be a wife and a mom.''

I don''t really like stephanie that much, there is something about her that is weird and I''m not sure if it is just the makeup or what.

THANK YOU!!! She bugs the cr*p outta me. Geez louise.


Still love Jillian, and Eva Mendes I MEAN Naomi is growing on me (wonder if that has anything to do with keeping her around??). I like Melissa, too. Glad creepy Shannon is gone.


Okay, seriously? Am I the only one who sees this?? Even the moles on the left cheeks!

I''m SO glad you posted this! I''ve been saying this for weeks, but couldn''t remember Eva Mendes''s name. I kept saying to dh how much Naomi looked like the girl who played Will Smith''s love interest in Hitch, and he finally looked it up for me last night (how lazy am I?) Spitting image!

I was really happy with who he sent home last night. I have to say, he seems a lot more genuine than all the other Bachelors I''ve seen and he makes choices that I actually WANT him to make (since when does a reality tv star agree with me?!?)

Molly is my favorite. I missed a lot of her 1on1 date though...did they spend the whole night talking or was it implied that even more happened?

Didn''t Megan say that? I dunno I''m really bad with names...

and yes i am SO glad he sent home the girl who kept demanding the rose! she was getting to be realllly controlling!

i didn''t notice the sideburns at all... haha.. i''ll have to look into that.

 

[ChinaCat]

Yes, that girl that "demanded" the rose was so annoying. And what was up with her song at the end about wanting to be famous and not having to brush her teeth? WEIRD.

The is the first one I have really watched this year, and I was giggling all the way through. The faces the stalker Shannon kept making when she kept trying to spy on him. And what was up with the "I won''t let you let me go" and then she did the two finger point in his eye??? Seriously, what do they put in the water (or alcohol) in that house????

Naomi is really pretty and seems sweet. Melissa is just too cute. But don''t they seem a bit young for him? Molly seemed down to earth and normal. Jillian I didn''t get a good read on, but she seems manly to me. Sorry.

Stephanie seems like such a sweetheart, but she definitely seems like his older sister.

I felt sorry for Nikki- she obviously has some issues with not being good enough due to the ex. I wonder why someone who is that sad and insecure would go on this show??

My DH was like WHY are you watching this? I said because I am pregnant and I want to. And yes I said this as I was eating ice cream out of the carton. Great waste of 2 hours, and I enjoyed every minute of it!!!!!

Shannons nose picking/wiping was funny especially when he was wiping 'napkin" from her lips, Jason did not want to kiss her. What did she say at the end something about electric toothbrush & letting her dog lick her face?

Is it me or does the show have too many commecial breaks?

Haha... I don''t know what was better... the nose picking or when she handed the snotty napkin back to him!!! LOL!! At the end of the show she said she was going home to use her electric toothbrush, and give her dog lots of french kisses... eckkkk!!

Ohh and Nikki was the one that said, "She''s been married before, and has had a child. Her husband died, yeah it''s sad. But it''s my turn to be a wife and mother." She said that while Stephanie and Jason were off talking, and she sat at the table.

I know way too much about this show... but all two hours of last night was MUST-SEE-TV!!

Yes, I was shocked too! Couldn''t believe she said that!

I agree with just about everything here! Chinacat...you read my mind!!!
Naomi, Melissa and Molly are all 24-25 y.o. Sometimes you can tell how young they are (Melissa especially!) and other times you can''t. They all seem like the sweetest girls though!

Jillian is still my favourite. I don''t know if you think she''s manly in her appearance, but she does seem more tomboy-ish than the rest of the girls...probably because the other girls are SOOO girly! Jillian stays away from the silly drama, which is why she''s my favourite. I would have hated to be Jason on the GH date because EVERYONE was crying! What kind of a group date is that?!?!

musey, I definitely agree with the Naomi-Eva comparison! The entire episode I was trying to think of who she reminded me of and by the end I realized that her voice and way of speaking reminded me of Whitney Port (from The Hills fame).

 

[emeraldlover1]

I really like Naomi however I think she goes home next week. In the preview she is the one crying with the girls around her. I hope its a fake out.

 

[niccia]

Molly grew on me this week...you can tell he definitely has a thing for her and Melissa. I don''t get the girls who don''t seem to understand his body language. Jason is pretty easy to read, and it''s obvious he isn''t kissing Shannon, Megan etc because he doesn''t want to! Especially when you have just blown your nose in front of him

Stephanie too...I don''t think he feels anything romantic for her at all. She is sweet and graceful, but it isn''t going to happen. Lauren was bossy and annoying, and I was glad he sent her packing. Most sensible men who watched her on the show will now be running for the hills when they see her coming....Naomi is nice but I don''t see much there either, and Gillian definitely likes to give off the tomboy vibe. I like Melissa best, but she does seem a little young still, so Molly is probably his best bet. I think it will be between those two anyway.
(Oh and Shannon''s spying face as someone else put it was hilarious!)

 

[Clairitek]

I needed to catch up on this thread! I too am relieved that the creepster Shannon is gone and that he finally got rid of Nikki. I really thought he was going to keep Megan around for another week but I''m glad he didn''t keep her away from her little boy any longer.

I''ll have to go watch online to see the clip of the 4 girls huddled around each other. By reading your posts I''m going to guess that he tosses Steph? I don''t really see a lot of chemistry either and I feel like if the two on one date hadn''t been with Steph and Nikki and instead Steph and Molly or Melissa he would have tossed Steph.

Can''t wait for tonight! FI is gone this week so I get to watch all the crap TV I want!

 

[Skippy123]

Shannon was a bit strange; she probably freaked him out. The look on his face ---->

when she said I want to be a mother and you can''t let me go.

 

[steph72276]

I can''t wait for tonight''s episode...and when is DeAnna supposed to come back?

I''m so excited for tonights episode. We aren''t having our girls get together, so I already asked FI if he would watch with me!! I''m not sure about DeAnna, but I don''t presume it will happen this week, since they are supposed to be in Seattle for the show.

I remember the trailer showing her on the balcony and girls look up from the pool. Maybe next week? I could be wrong. I also think that they may have edited that entire scene, so she could really show up whenever. Who knows...

I''ve been reading that there are some people on the "main" bachelor board that really think it will be DeAnna in the end. I also ran across a girl that was using the SN, "nikki''s sideburns"... LOL, cracked myself up, I almost cried!!!

 

[VegasAngel]

SN, "nikki''s sideburns".. LOL

 

[OUpearlgirl]

I am watching the first episode again, because it''s always funny to watch the first impressions of these girls after you "know" them.

I think the final two will be Molly and Melissa..

 

[bebe]

Yeah, I keep waiting for Deanna to show up. Laughing at myself, between this show and Housewives of OC, my trash TV quotient is getting full.

I''m sorry bebe, but I''m going to have to completely disagree... these two shows aren''t even comparable!! I can only handle two or three 15 minute segments of Housewives before my heaed hurts.

Most of the time while watching HOC, I''m totally shocked, in total disbelief women live like that!!
Bachelor is tamer, most of the time!

meresal, is your job back home yet? Kinda thought you would be.
Hopefully you can join us when we have a Houston GTG late Spring.

Warning: I admit this is a bit... ok a lot... pathetic on my part... but..

The only reason I know there names now is because during the first episode a friend and I printed out the names/pictures of the girls (from the bachelor website). I am HORRIBLE at remembering names... even faces... so it worked for me... GAHhhh. I can't believe I just admited that. hehe

Oh, that''s kind of cute, actually! I hadn''t been watching this show. Hadn''t watched in a few seasons. I only saw a bit of the last episode and then started reading this thread. Now I want more!

I can ONLY watch this show on Tivo because of that and because of the constant replaying of stuff or previews of stuff coming up. I figure between all of that, the actual amount of new footage is about 40% of the total show.

Do you have them framed on bookshelves as well...

bebe- I got back to Houston and to my downtown office the week before Thanksgiving. They are still doing construction on our floor, literally 5 feet from my desk, and the 2 floors above us. I think they're supposed to have the windows replaced by March. It's a realy gem I tell ya. I'm definitely there for the GTG. I wasn't happy I had to miss the one in November.

I don''t usually remember them either, I have made up nicknames in my head to keep them straight (like "Eva"). The only ones whose names I can currently remember are Jillian (my fave!) and Molly (dunno why, maybe cuz that''s my best friend''s name?).

I have to look them up on the site if I want to reference them by name.
