The Bachelor

climbingsingle

I know, I know. It's so trashy. But I'm totally sucked in. Did anyone watch last night? 

So Kelsey thinks her husband dying is a "great story". That made my skin crawl. 

And she's a guidance counselor. WTF? 

What's the deal with Britt not showering? I wonder if they're serious or if they're exaggerating. I thought it was interesting that she's SO afraid of heights but was fine going up in an air balloon. 

And I've totally got H sucked in. He was watching with me last night, and then texted me this morning that they were talking about Kelsey on the radio.  

novella1186

I think Kelsey was lying. She waited till the most opportune time to tell him that story, so she could stick around longer, and then when she got the impression that he was still going to send her home, she laid down on the floor and screamed. Ok.

And I said the same thing about the hot air balloon ride. "You're so deathly afraid of heights that it physically shuts your body down, but you're hopping up and down with glee for a hot air balloon ride. Ok."

oh and how bout the girl who was so excited to go to New Mexico because she had "never been to another country before" ?

Omg. I almost missed that and then was all, "wait, did I hear that right?" Who said that?

I'm behind in my DVR so I'm not all caught up, but I fast forwarded a lot of the episode I was watching last night (the Jimmy Kimmel episode).  So much stupid.

Yes, I'm lactose intolerant but let me guzzle this milk down...  

The woman whose husband committed suicide is a sad story, but it was a weird time to tell him about it.  Sure, everyone is having fun during a pool party, let me pull you aside to tell you this gut wrenching story and cry my eyes out.

I also majorly judge the women who are on a reality show about love so soon after losing a spouse.  You don't just heal that fast after a trauma like that.  Dating is one thing, but to go on national tv and exploit your story to get extra screen time or to get more one on one time with a guy is just pathetic.

OMG Kelsey creeps me the eff out!! I hate how the Bachelor every year just becomes this competition over who has the saddest story. I can't believe she's so happy that she got a "story" out of her husband dying! Ugh made me so mad.

Also that girl Ashley (I think it's Ashley? The one with the scary spider lashes who keeps going on about being a virgin) has GOT to go. BF said he wants to run over her with a truck (yes, he watches with me haha, he has no shame now). I have to agree.

climbingsingle

Yes, the virgin! I forgot about her. Is her name Ashley? I can never remember. She is nuts. She's crying during every episode. When Jade got to go on the princess date and she game out in her "princess gown"? Psycho! 

I had forgotten who Jordan was when she came back. Then I remembered she was the drunk one that had wanted to kiss him. That was super awkward!

Totally agree on Ashley. (I'm pretty sure that's her name?) She's really immature and bratty and obnoxious. When is she NOT whining or crying? I want to know. Is there ever a moment when that's not happening? 

And trying to rally all the girls to be mean to Jordan for coming back? Really? Then she smiled in her face and hugged her. Nope. Don't sit there and talk mad shit and then smile and hug. And then she walked off crying again lol. In a dress that I'm pretty sure was actually a shirt, considering her ass was hanging out of it.

Yes, I thought the same thing. She was all smiling and hugging Jordan as she left. How fake. And then threw a fit about Whitney getting the rose.

Kelsey makes my skin crawl. When she was interviewing and said, "Isn't my story just AMAZING?" I really thought she was about to admit that it was made up. And I still don't know that I buy it as a true story. Especially since it happened less than 2 years ago and they were together for something like 8 years. She's just too "Oh yeah this happened but it's cool. I'm good."

I really really liked Britt when the season first started, but she rubs me the wrong way now. She's super giddy which annoys me and I feel like she's the most obvious fake one. (but yeah, aren't they all?) And sleeping in full ass makeup? Are you kidding me?

Virgin Ashley - STFU. I think she's really super immature, and then when I see she's 26 I'm like holy shit maybe she's just unstable. And when she kisses him, OMG I cringe every time. It looks like she's trying to suck his whole face off!! I tend to blame this on the fact that maybe she really is a virgin and she's kissing like that to try and make up for being inexperinced/thinks that's sexy? I don't know, but it's horrible to watch.

I really like Carly (the cruise ship singer), and I kind of feel like it will come down to either her or Kaitlyn (the dance instructor). I have no idea if I spelled their names correctly. I like Carly more, but he and Kaitlyn always have fun together so he may end up choosing her. 

Thank you for starting this topic because I love this show even though it's awful! lol

climbingsingle

I think it's going to come down to Carly, Caitlyn and Whitney. 

novella1186

I like Jade, she seems really sweet, but when she was talking about her disorder where normal temps send her into hypothermia, I was like "yeah, she'll do well on a farm." 

Carly, Caitlyn and either Whitney or Jade are who I think will be in the top 3 but I usually end up being wrong. At first I really liked Brit and I thought she'd be in the top 3 for sure but they seem like a bad match to me. 

I just looked up the current "cast" because I can never remember names. There's two girls on there that I don't recognize at all so I'm guessing they'll be leaving soon (Tracy and Samantha?) 

I would like Ashley and Kelsey to exit immediately. I also don't like Mackenzie at all (single mom, alien chick) but she cracked me up last night when Ashley was talking so much shit about Whitney getting the rose and saying she's a bad person or something and Mackenzie chimed in, "I don't think there's anything bad about her, I think you just don't like her." Lol. Most normal/honest/smartest thing I've heard any of those girls say. 

ETA: clarity

Kelsey is crazy and Ashley is even more crazy. It's also super gross that Kelsey used her husband's story to try to get the sympathy stay. 

Megan is so. dumb. I feel like she is only vaguely aware of what's even going on. "This is my thinking cap." Uummmm oh my.

I like Whitney and Becca and Carly. I like Kaitlyn and think she would be a good next Bachelorette, but she has vampire teeth that scare me a little. 

climbingsingle

Megan is the makeup artist I think. She must have been the one that thought she was going to a different country. 

lmcooper86

I can't stand Kelsey. She was awful last night; who shares the story of their husband dying and they does on and on about how AMAZING their story is?? She's bat crap crazy and listening to her talk makes me feel icky.  

I was distracted through a lot of the group date since I kept yelling that Ashley needed to put on some damn pants. Everything about her was wrong last night: no pants, her meltdown when Whitney got the rose, and calling someone fake...while batting her scary spider eyelashes.

Also, I'm pretty sure most virgins wear pants.

Sorry, I could not get over that.

I like Whitney (she's sane and rational), Kaitlyn and I think Becca seems nice but doesn't get a lot of airtime. Britt seems too "on" a lot of the time. I can't put my finger on what it is about her.

daria24

I.Cannot.Wait.For.Ashley.To.Go.Home. She has to be one of the most annoying participants I've ever seen on the show. 

I just want to know how Britt sleeps in her makeup. I mean how does she not get lipstick smeared everywhere? I can't even wear a scarf without getting lipstick on it and all over my face. Don't you get foundation smeared all over your pillow?

novella1186

So, I've said before that I'm a total fact stalker. I didn't believe one word of Kelsey's story about her husband. FI even said, "I don't think she's talking about her husband, I think she's talking about some guy she used to stalk who's still alive..." 

Especially when she got giddy and laughed about how awesome the story was. WTF? 

My best friend died 12 years ago and I still can't stand to talk about what happened to him. I get that people deal with grief in many different ways, but to call it an amazing story that I love? NOPE. 

Well, because of all this, I decided to do some research. Looks like the story is true. I've found 4 different sources claiming it as fact. Here's one: 

http://heavy.com/entertainment/2015/02/kelsey-poe-husband-sanderson-death-the-bachelor-widow-obituary-dead-died/

The fact that it's true just makes it even more chilling. She seemed to LOVE using it as a way to get alone time with Chris, and as a way to make sure she gets to stay this week. She even slipped up at the end, saying "It sucks that I'll have to say goodbye to some of you now. I'm not going home-- I MEAN! I don't know if I'm going home!" Her whole demeanor just seemed... sick, to me. 
By the way she talks about it, you'd think she had survived a tsunami or something. Like something to be really proud of and laugh at how happy you are that you turned out ok. But... your husband DIED. How is that amazing? *shudder*

If you want the spoilers, just go to Reality Steve. He has the spoiler about next week, and who wins. 

I only watched the first few episodes this season, but it sounds like there are some good BSC girls to watch. I might need to play catch-up!

Kelsey comes off as a psychopath to me. (I am not licensed to say so but fuck it - she's psycho) if her story is true, it makes me wonder exactly how her H died if you know what I mean.

I don't think he was attracted to Carly at all. He said something like "inside she is the perfect wife" and he was just really not feeling her. She won't stay.

I do not know how you guys can stand Whitney's voice. I would NOT be able to listen to that for the rest of my life. Holy crap.

I don't have a front runner. Kaitlyn bugs me. She's just really obnoxious IMO. Britt is too fake. I like Jade the best, I guess. And what's up with that one girl where we have seen her say 2 words the entire show?

He was wrong one year! I forget which year but I accidentally read his spoiler about who wins and I was bummed I read it but it wasn't right.

climbingsingle

I think Reality Steve's source has dried up. I did read who his pick was. I'm interested to see if he's right. Anyway, I think it got a virus from his site, so I haven't visited it in a while. 

Novella, I totally googled Sanderson Poe last night!

It genuinely hurts my feelings that these couples never last. There's been like what? 15 seasons now? And how many of those couples are still together? I get that they have to spend so many weeks apart after filming so they don't spoil it for people, but people do long-distance relationships every day. Of course, after those 10 weeks are up I'm sure these relationships fizzle when you aren't going on super romantic and expensive ass dates every night. But make this work damn it!!

I'm totally team Carly for the next Bachelorette!

Okay - so Crazy Kelsey and Fake Ashley go on a two-on-one date with Chris and sends them BOTH home. So can't wait to see that.

YES.

I could fall in love with anyone if I was being whisked away on magical vacations every date night.

Agreed. Though I really loved how when Jimmy Kimmel was on the show, they sent them to Costco. There's some normalness for you!

He was wrong one year...but he's been right about so many other seasons. I don't really care if he's right or wrong tbh, I just really like spoilers.

I cannot wait to see this happen. I like the crazy to stick around just long enough to keep things interesting while there are lots of girls, but I never want them to make it too far.

I just love Ashley's constant attempts to show Chris that she's a good girl/marriage material/virgin princess when all she does is bitch about the other girls and make sure her eyelashes are properly applied. Kelsey is sketchy too and I'm dying to see what happened... also what was up with Chris getting emotional during the rose ceremony? I think next week will be good. FI is totally hooked and announced he's going to make sure we have plenty of wine for next week's ep.

I was thinking maybe he got emotional because he wanted to send Kelsey home. But then, why bring up the story? I don't know. That confused me.
