Re: ABC names new Bachelor

  • I was hoping for Ames but I like Ben too.  I will probably watch.  Who am I kidding?  I will definitely watch. ;)
  • I'm actually a little surprised.  He seems more conservative to me - I didn't think he'd jump back in to another season.  I love him though, so I'll definitely be watching!

  • I love the bach but I probably won't watch for the first time ever. I never once thought he was cute and he is about as interesting as a blank wall. I think their ratings will tank, 2 bad seasons in a row.

  • I'm skeptical about him making a good Bachelor. I hope I don't accidentally flip to that channel while it's on and get sucked in like last season. It's like once you start you can't stop, no matter how lame it is. DH teases me endlessly about watching that "trash."
  • Cool! I am also surprised since he doesn't seem that type but ABC has enough time to mold him into what they want.

     

    Maybe he'll at least cut his hair.

  • I'll watch, since, well, I have nothing better to do but I'm disappointed.

    I wish they'd stop using former bachelor/bachelorettes and just start fresh.

  • I wish they would use new folks. It wasn't a big surprise to me, because it seems like there are always a few that they "prep" as potential future bachelors/bachelorettes from each season. I thought Ashley's season was boring and part of it was her storyline with him. I'm not too excited that he's the new bachelor, but I'm sure I'll tune in, at least in the beginning.

  • Ugh. I'm not happy about this. He bugs.

  • He seems like a good guy but kind of boring. I think Ames would have been more interesting.

  • I read an interview with Chris Harrison not too long ago, where he said that he didn't think they would ever use anyone new, that they'll always continue to use former Bachelors/Bachelorettes.

    this makes sense actually. I think viewers automatically become more interested when they feel like they know the bachelor or bachelorette, which happens from seeing them over another season. except when it is an undesirable person...

    i wonder how often the new season will feature the voice ben uses to talk to his dog. ick.

  • I use to really like them picking former bachelor/bachelorette contestants because we knew them (:Now I'm over it and want them to start fresh.  They last couple ones have been sooooo boring and blah!

    It's perfect for ABC to recycle someone from the show. They can test out how the person comes across on TV during the first season. Meanwhile the viewers become invested in the person so they will likely watch the following season. The new bachelor/ette also comes in with a good backstory. I just wish they would have gone with Ames, but I think he's too awkward for them.

  • Blah. That's all I can say.
  • I"m not overly thrilled, but I will more than likely watch it.   I think Ames would have been way more entertaining to watch for an entire season.

  • I wish they'd quit recycling previous contestants.  New people please!!!!  Ben's hot, but boringggg. 
  • Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! I am going to hold out hope that is isn't true. I wanted it to be Ames, I love him, I even dreamed about him last night. Weird I know, but aren't pg women supposed to have crazy dreams Big Smile
