The Bachelorette-Let's chat
Ok ladies, I'm glad it's Wednesday because I couldn't wait any longer.
What the heck is she thinking keeping Bentley!?!? I think it's hilarious that she said "I'm a really good judge of character and I can usually tell when people are genuine."
FAIL.
He's a freakin douche. But, according to the previews for next week it looks like he decides to call it quits and go ahead and tell her he's not feeling it, and go home. I don't get why she looks so broken up about it. She still has a ton of great guys that are there for her.
And William. Let me just say, I really liked William until this last week. The way he was bragging to all the other guys and being a jackass about his date kind of turned me off. He wasn't being modest at all.
Ok, I think that's all I have for now. 
Re: The Bachelorette-Let's chat
Yeah I hate Bentley, but I guess we are seeing a different side of him than she is.
I still like William but if the bragging and stuff continues that will stop. Their date was a little weird in my opinion though, I just think it went a little too far.
I still really like JP and I think that she didnt give him a date really speaks to the connection she feels with him.
The mask guy has got to take that dang thing off.
I think JP is much better looking than the guy she did go on a date with, I can't remember his name. With the dark hair. I don't think he's all that hot.
I agree she's probably seeing a different side of Bentley, but even what we see of them on camera just looks fake to me. I wouldn't think he was genuine for a second.
I think she is the type of girl that falls for men's crap in a heartbeat, is what I think.
I think she wouldn't be able to tell a genuine guy from a walking douche-bag if it hit her in the face.
This! I worry that since she closed herself off in the Bachelor that she is now going to open herself up too much,
Yeeeeeaaah....I just think she's naive.
ETA: I would like to think that about every woman who goes on The Bachelorette expecting 25 honest, genuine men. But, there have been some really strong, smart women on that show in the past.
Ashley just doesn't seem like one of them.
I would definately agree with that. There is a vast difference between say Ali (whom I LOVE) and Ashley.
Yep. And a universe of difference in both of them and Trista. If you watched the first season.
That's because she was like 34 instead of 26! I liked Meredith too.
I think women like this don't need reality TV shows to find men.....
I generally agree. But Trista married a wonderful man because of the show and is still married 10 years later with 2 kids. Love can be found in crazy places. I think she did it for correct reasons, unlike most of the other women.
Oh, I didn't mean that they can't find love there....but that normal,secure,emotionally mature women may not be interested in going that route. That might be why there is a lack of candidates for it.
That.. or mature women make for boring television. Idk.
Sorry, I won't crash your post anymore.
Bio
I wouldn't ever in a million years do it.
re: Bentley (sorry but I hate that name)
I seriously thought this was another Wes, but now I can't decide if it's worse than Wes or not. At least he's up front with the whole thing whereas Wes kept his other life in the closet. My jaw dropped when he made the comment along the lines of hitting it and quitting it.
Jeff the Mask needs to reveal himself soon, and of course the producers would have one of the other guys barge in right as he was about to.
I really liked the second 1-on-1 guy, but I was for sure she was gonna send the first guy packing. It seems like Brad never let anyone go on his 1-on-1's last season for a really long time. Are the producers making them keep people?
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
Well I'm late to the game this morning, but couldn't resist some chat!
William - date went a little too far and I almost feel like he had to brag about it bc it did. He pretty much looked like a pansy so he had to play it up. I think he went overboard on the bragging business, but then again it will just get worse.
Micky - I can't decide if I think he is cute or not. Something about him doesn't sit good with me. IDK
Blake - the other dentist, geeze he seems a tad egotistical right now
JP - still think he is such a cutie pie, can't wait to see how a date goes for them
Ashley - Phew she is naive right now! My goodness take a step back, listen to your "text messages" from your friend and get rid of Bentley. I hate guys like him and you can totally tell he's playing her. Glad he's going home.
Wes was worse. At least Bentley is up front with us about it. Not to her, obviously. But he's up front to the cameras about it. And I'll admit, Bentley is a dumb name but he's hot. Wes wasn't. At all. And his stupid band was laaaaame.
You thought William should have gone home? The guy she "married?"
I totally thought that was rigged by the Producers too!
Me too!
Someone I work with told me that she heard on the radio this morning...that the stuff with Bentley next week almost shut down production of the rest of the show. This is supposedly per Chris Harrison's blog. WOW I cannot believe it.
Yes! Oh that was the other thing I left out. What was with the fake wedding? Talk about making a mockery out of something so sacred.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
This reinforces my thoughts that Ashley is insecure and needs to get over it. I'm sick of hearing "Boo hoo everyone wanted it to be Emily."
It's not like Bentley dropped the bomb when he was one of the final two. She is still going to have a lot of great guys to choose from! She's known Bentley what, a few weeks now!? Give me a friggin break!
I haven't either. She was on "Extra" the other night and Mario Lopez asked if she was happy and had found someone she just said "I don't know, you'll have to watch and see." Normally they say "Yes I'm very happy!"
Oh wow that's crazy, now I'm going to be speculative the whole season.
My HSOs:
I agree the whole Bentley thing going down next week looks bad--but I'm always suspicious until I actually see it happen. But she knew going in she should be cautious but since he was cute, she just disregarded the knowledge she had been given, which was stupid.
I thought I was going to like Ashley and now I'm not so sure.
The mask guy is weird, there is no 2 ways about it. He should have taken the mask off on night 1. Now he just looks crazy.
I think my favorite is one of the Ryans--he was the guy that got the first impression rose and the first guy out of the limo. Her eyes seemed to light up when she saw him. I hope he gets a date soon.
And ITA--I liked William initially and now not so much. Looks like he really hurts her next week also. Way to go dude.
Do any of you follow Reality Steve? I admit I read the spoilers right away. I haven't been over there yet though.
I like JP too. I didn't like Mickey when he did that kiss thing out of the limo but he grew on me on the one on one date. The whole dance date was stupid and very hard to watch.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
I don't read any of the spoilers and try hard not too listen to the gossip. Sometimes, it's to good not to though! I hope you share if you hear something juicy!
I agree about the dance date. It was pretty lame. I hope these dates get better.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Oh dang, I can't decide if I want to know or not. Let me think on it.
