The Bachelor

I'm shocked Liz didn't start this thread already

Thoughts?  Who watches?

I used to be a bachelor addict. I was annoyed with him the first time and even more so the second time around. Anyone know who the new bachelorette is? Not sure if they announced it last night, I fell asleep before the end of the after the rose show.

I heard the "Dentist" is the next bachelorette! 

I have to say that I usually am a die hard fan but i can't stand brad so I didn't watch as intently as usual. Just enough to get anoyed at brad. 

I think Chantel dodged a bullet.  I feel like brad really loves Emily but she doesn't love him! Serves him right for what he did last time!

See, I had a different feeling, I kind of admired the way Emily seems to be very realistic.  I mean, at this point, she and Brad have only known each other for like 3 months.... 3 months is a really short time to date someone, get engaged and set a wedding date, imo, especially with a kid in the mix.  (not to mention, she's pretty dang mature for being 23!  probably more mature than Brad is, at 38).

I don't know... I know the point of the show is for them to end up with each other, but more power to Brad for not choosing someone just for the sake of choosing someone the first time around (I didn't watch though, so not entirely sure what happened in round 1).

I'm kind of annoyed that they always pick someone from the current season to be the next bachelorette.  I felt the dentist was pretty immature and I don't really see that changing much because it's her turn to pick a guy.

It's been a crazy day at work!  Please forgive me

First of all, I will be mad if the Dentist (Jen? J-something, why can't I remember her name?) is the next bachelorette.  She really bothered me.  Plus I didn't like her new hair and she was way too tan like she was trying to hard to be like "look at me I've changed!"

Chantel bothered me when asking Brad questions.  Obviously, he picked another girl over you so of course he had more feelings for her.  He was trying to be nice about it but yeah, it's a reality show, he may have strung you along a bit.  But he didn't do much to hide his emotions from you.  If you watch how he interacted with both girls in the final episode, it was so obvious he was going to pick Emily. 

As far as Brad and Emily's interviews, that was super awkward to watch.  Brad looked extremely uncomfortable and I felt bad for him.  I don't know what to make of their relationship.  They seemed weird when answering questions like they didn't even know how to answer.  I dunno.  I hope they make it simply because I always want them to make it but I don't see it lasting.  I had concerns when they used the word "volatile" when talking about their fights.

I did like seeing Jason and Molly because I thinkt hey are super cute.  Ryan just seemed like he was talking just to talk without actually saying anything.  And I'm getting irritated everytime they talk about successfully couples, Trista and Ryan are there.  We get it, you lasted, bring some other couples out.  And I thought Ali's hand was waaay to high on Roberto's thigh.  FI actually noticed it before I did.

All in all it was a pretty blah episode if you ask me.

I agree about seeing Jason and Molly! They might be my favorites!
