OU this was a great find!! I read it last week, and he has a really good sense of humor about the girls. It's definitely worth the read to get a little insider look. Do you have the link?

This is also where I found "nikki's sideburns" posting replies!! lol.
 
Chris'' First Blog

The only way I could find the other blogs was by searching on the website..

I thought it was funny that they guys spraying the pavement outside so that it would "look" better... Also, can you believe the first rose ceremony goes until nearly 6 am??

I wish I knew all their names like you girls do. I can''t really follow this thread . . . I''m going to tune in tonight, but I have a lot of catching up to do!

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
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.

Of course!! .... wait, isn''t that what everybody does.

hahaha just kidding. :)
 
I''m watching right now and am at the part where he is at home with Melissa. Just wanted to say that I''ve never really been that convinced about them as a match but after that date I am.
 
From chris'' blog: *The women start getting ready at 9 A.M. but the arrivals don''t take place till about 9 P.M. The first rose ceremony isn''t till about 4 A.M. We all get to bed around 8 A.M. That is except me because when I get home my kids are getting up and are ready for breakfast and are off to school.



What in the world are they doing for 12 hours!? I guess setup too?
I don''t think I could get up at 9am and start getting ready for 9pm.

I don''t think I could get up at 9am and start getting ready for 9pm.

I can''t figure that out either.. If I am taking my sweeeeeeeeeet time, it takes me 2 and a half hours.. tops.
 
If anyone has found additional blogs from Chris Harrison could you link them if you''re so inclined?

I''ll admit it. I''m just too lazy (well, really just tired... FI had a 415 wake up time to get to his 6 am flight this morning and you know who had to drive him there) to look. Maybe I''ll take a stab at locating them tomorrow.
 
Is anyone else a bit shocked at who Jason sent home tonight? WOW!
She will definitley be the next Bachelorette..mark my word!

I WAS WRONG! I''m so happy that was a fakeout. I love Naomi.
 
I''m not shocked.. Although she is GREAT, they didn''t seem to have a LOVE connection.

From what I read, the next Bachelorette will be an unknown.

Tomorrow I''ll post the order I think the girls will go home in!
 
I am not really surprised either. She was a nice friend. I just didn''t see the connection.

I think Naomi still isn''t ready for the insta-family.

Melissa and Molly are my picks for the moment.
 
Naomi is....ick!! She looked like a man with that hat on earlier in the show!! She has some growing up to do. Molly is a little too confident (the comment she made about her being the one, and how he should get rid of the rest, stop wasting their time). Melissa is a TRUE beauty inside and out..and is my pick! Something tells me Jason will end up with Jillian, the Canadian gal. Especially after visiting her hometown, spending time at that beautiful lake, and chalet (cabin) with her..he'll be hooked!!

I agree about Molly, but I think HE likes her, which is why I picked her. Melissa is my favorite though.

Number Two

Number threeeee

Aaand Four

Oh goodie! Reading for tomorrow. You''re the best!

Ok I''m off to bed to fight off this cold.

I feel like Jillian is the dark horse with this season because I don''t think that I knew her name before last week! Where did she come from??

Naomi goes home next. Then Molly. He will probably want to choose Jillian but will choose Melissa instead because he knows she is a sure thing.
 
I think next week Naomi will go home, making Jillian, Melissa, and Molly the final three... Then I think Jillian will go home next. He will pick Melissa.. I''m almost positive.

I agree. I don''t think Naomi is ready at all to be married and instant mom.

I agree. But I think Molly and Jillian will be the final 2. Melissa seems really cute and sweet but I find her immature...maybe it''s just her voice. Jillian has been my favourite from the beginning and she seems so much more mature than any other girl that''s ever been on the bachelor! I still think Naomi is stunning...and I loved her fedora!

It was a no-brainer that Steph was going...there was no love connection whatsoever. I also don''t think she''ll be the next bachelorette. She''s far too nice for reality TV!!! It was so sweet when Jason said that everyone should have a Steph in their life.

Oh, and thanks OU for the blog links...they''re awesome!

Ditto! I agree.
 
Was anyone else surprised at the order he gave the roses? I didn''t think Jillian would be a front runner until she got the first rose. I really thought he would have picked Molly first. That threw me off because I thought he would end up with Molly, and now I have no idea. Totally agree that Naomi is going home next week though! Anyone else think this season is going really quickly???

Me! I feel like it was just yesterday we were watching all of the ladies step out of the limo! I suppose we only have 4 more weeks... hometown dates, whatever they do when we get down from 3 to 2 women, the reunion show with everyone but the final 2, then the finale/after the final rose.

Chris Harrison seems really excited about this season and has mentioned the "amazing proposal" on the finale. Can''t wait!

FI just called and I told him that Steph finally got sent home and he goes "I know"...
23.gif
I then asked him if he had watched last night (hes away on business) and he told me that he had tuned in for the final 5 minutes while channel surfing. Riiiiiight....

Stephanie handled her exit with great poise and class. She should be an ambassador''s wife!!
 
I thought Stephanie was a real class act, and so was Jason. I loved the way he walked her out and actualy TOLD her why he didn''t pick her, which they never seem to do. He was honest and she got it. This guy seems like a good guy.

Those of you that have been watching- help me understand Jillian. I have only been watching the past few and she has been so under the radar. Did they have ANY chemistry in the early episodes? When they were at the cafe talking it felt like he was talking to his older sister or something. She seems cool, but I just don''t "feel" it with them.

Naomi is so pretty and fun, but she is just so young.

Melissa was the only one that their date/chemistry felt more real. He couldn''t keep his hands off of her (in a sweet way) and they just seemed to fit. I noticed with Naomi, although he got physical with her, it was different, like he obviously likes her and wanted to, but not like he couldn''t help himself. I am embarrased to admit that I caught myself "smiling" at them, like you do when you watch a cute romantic comedy. She is young too, but doesn''t seem as immature as Naomi. Naomi is not ready to settle down, you can tell. And she shouldn''t be!

Molly- she''s cute and I like her, but it seems like only chemistry with them.

Ok, off to read the blogs- thanks for posting! I think all of these girls seem like they could be a good pick- which is nice for Jason, but so not as much fun as when the crazies were there!!!!
 
I finally watched the episode last night. I don''t know how he would have been able to decide. They all seem like such good matches for him. I do think Naomi will go home next (esp''ly after the family visit -- what was that all about in the preview???), though not because of that specifically. I do think she seems very young. She says she''s ready for a family, but I don''t think she knows what she''s in for if that is the case.

I think Jillian . . . maybe, for the proposal.
 
I have found myself addicted to the bachelor this season and I never have been in the past!

I think Jason is such a nice guy and I think he handled Stephanie''s exit with as much class and sensitively as is possible. Likewise, I felt Stephanie was amazing! I''m so glad he let her go home to be with her daughter since there was obviously no chemistry between them. Can''t wait for next week and I''m wondering when DeAnna returns?!?!?
 
Who is DeAnna? And, why is she coming back? Is she one of the crazies?

DeAnna is the bachelotette that Jason fell for but she chose the other guy... I guess she comes back to say she made a mistake and wants another chance.

My pick, from day one, has been Melissa...
