Bachelor (spoilers)

Somebody needs to get this thread going, so I guess it will be me!  What did you think of last night's show and the preview for next week?  I've always thought Jake was sort of a milquetoasty/boring guy, but he's growing on me.  He showed a lot of cajones last night by letting crazy Michelle go, as well as Elizabeth and I am really intrigued to see which two girls he wants to give the boot to next week so badly he doesn't even want to give out all the roses.  It really seemed like this show is wearing him out, which also made him seem more real and appealing to me.  What do y'all think of Vienna?  Ugh, that name is horrible... Big Smile

Re: Bachelor (spoilers)

  • where to start, where to start...

    With the group- I don't like Vienna. She seems like the 25 year old party girl that is in the club every weekend and possibly in the wet t-shirt contests. She doesn't seem mature and her eyes bother me- think runaway bride eyes...haha. But....when alone with Jake- she seems great. She's 2 different people- not a good quality really.

    Michelle....wow...did she really turn ALL of that around on Jake and say "I can't believe he is sending me home."...biyotch is just mad b/c he called her bluff...

    I did like Corrie but she put herself in another category at the comedy club by making fun of Vienna. True, Vienna is a character but it brings you to her level to do what you did.

    Ella....how unoriginal to bring her son there for her birthday....didn't Bachelor/Bachelorette do this before?

    Still like Ali and Tenley

  • OHHHH and how did I forget Elizabeth? Honey, honey, honey....it's not about the dang kiss. You were respectable, in my book, when you asked that he not kiss you until you got the last rose but you became trashy when you turned it into a game. Get over yourself!

    "I should have kissed you"....as she walks away! barf!

    DITTO!! :)

    Michelle was crazy chick! I am sooo glad he sent her home. 

  • I was pretty impressed with Jake last night, too.  I felt his frustration through the whole episode and am glad that he is working to clear out the drama.  I don't like how he seems to quickly kiss everyone.  He didn't seem like that type to me but I'm sure that's all just part of the show and the dating game.

    I like Ali but she needs to lay off Vienna.  Just be a big girl and let it all roll.  She seems to keep drumming it up.  I really have no idea yet who I think is best for him.  It's hard seeing past all the cattiness so far this season!

    Either I am getting old or the girls are all just so immature.  I think it's me getting old...  :)

  • SOOO glad he told Michelle to leave!  That was so awesome.  I was watching Ellen from yesterday and she told him (this was before the show aired) that he needed to keep her around the whole season just so people can watch her!  HA!  I'm glad he was truthful with her and didn't just lie and be a "nice guy" about it.

    Vienna weirds me out.  I don't like her.  And now that we know she talks trash about everyone makes me like her even less.  But who doesn't talk about other people on that show?

    I Ali so far the best. 

    I was shocked he let Elizabeth go.  But really??  Would you not kiss any other guy you were dating until he proposed?  Surely not.  And kissing (and general intimacy) is SO important, imo.  And why is he keeping Jessie around??  I don't even think I've seen him talk to her.   

  • I think kerij pretty much summed up everything I would want to say.  Bye Bye crazy Michelle and game playing Elizabeth.  Ali is my fave.

  • LOVE that he called Michelle's bluff!  She was so clearly hoping he'd beg her to stay and I agree with maribel, I'm liking this guy more for growing a back bone and sending her packing!  What a nutter she was. 

    Ali's adorable, but she's such a little shiit-stirrer!  Just focus on why you're there and quit interjecting yourself into all the drama.  She reminds me of the mean girls in high school - obviously lacking some confidence and trying too hard to be "cool".

    I really liked Cori (sp?) until the whole comedy show thing.  Not so classy. 

    Vienna.  Ugh. What a mess.  The hair?  Goodness gracious.  Her and Kate Gosselin must be seeing the same hair guy.

    IDK, not really loving any of the options, if you couldn't tell by my list o' negativity!

  • i agree with everyone's post that Jake really stepped up to the plate during this episode.  On another note, these girls are all crazy!  Even that one chick who had the first one on one - she seems like she's playing the nice girl card with him but is kind of a b!tch towards vienna.  I know vienna isn't the most likeable but there's no need to reciprocate.  yikes

      LOL, about Michelle being a nutter.  Haven't heard that one for a while.  This, totally about Ali.... She seems sweet on paper, but she is a little high school for me.
