The Bachelor

climbingsingle · February 2015

That's sad. There were a lot of rumors about her not getting along with his family.

I wonder why they didn't do any international trips? They usually do a world tour of exotic locations. They've stuck to the US so far.

The production claims it's because it fits Chris's "story", that he's a hometown boy, he needs someone down-to-earth, and exotic locations just don't fit him/his lifestyle. I suspect it's because they got offered the the trade-outs for Santa Fe, Deadwood, etc and weren't thrilled with the international offers. And it's so much of a PITA to shoot internationally, that they decided to save the money this year, and see if it affected ratings.

There's also been some rumors that because Chris has some DUIs on his record he can't get visas to certain countries, but I find that hard to believe.

I haven't gotten to watch last night's show yet, I've only seen the interview with Kelsey so far. 5 hours of Bachelor is a lot to get through in a week yeesh.

I did hear they wouldn't let Chris enter Canada due to the DUI's, but it was a radio promo teaser clip that was all about "Is Chris who you think he is?" hype which usally takes a grain of truth and then twist it all up until it is unrecognizable.

I love Becca!

I'm not surprised he sent Jade and Carly home. I saw that coming. But damn, am I happy Britt is gone. She totally wanted him to beg her to stay.

theycallmelinz · February 2015

I was sad to see Carly go, not surprised about Jade.

If you're curious, google her. That video she showed him is very easy to find and... DAMN is all I can say.

I was talking with FI and I told him that I've never read a Playboy magazine (I mean, I've got boobs of my own so I didn't think there was a point) and he said that they usually keep it relatively classy, which is what I thought of when Jade first said she posed for playboy. I was like hm.. that's not a huge deal.

But that video.. poor Chris's mom if she ever saw it. Which I'm sure the whole family has now, even if Chris doesn't know lol

And Britt, GTFO. I was so over her.

climbingsingle · February 2015

Yeah, for some reason, the video just made it worse. And it was just so surprising because she seemed SO shy and sheltered.

My FI kept saying "Why would she SHOW him? It's enough to just tell him. Making him see it is too much!" I agreed.

Yeah, I agree. It's fine to tell him, but then to kind of force it on him right at the moment seemed weird.

I think he should have just said "no, I'll wait for the right time to see you naked in person" or something like that. I'm sure by that point he knew he was going to send her home soon. IMO, seeing the pics of her then sending her home said to me "I got what I needed ... bye!"

Eh. Maybe at that point he still didn't know. And maybe he didn't want to hurt her feelings by saying no? Who knows.

But it really seemed like he's way more into Whitney than the other girls. He had a way more intesense conversation with Whitney's sister.

I felt like the whole time she was showing him that stuff, he was thinking of what his family and people in his tiny little traditional tight-knit community would be thinking if/when they saw it. That, coupled with the weird crap her brothers were saying ("she's a wild mustang, she won't settle down yet, she'd be leaving this big new career in LA and that would make her unhappy, etc") kind of sealed her fate.

Looks like they go to a foreign country next week. I think they said Bali?

climbingsingle · February 2015

Yup, they go to Bali next week.

Was it weird to you at all when Britt walked out of the house to go home and she was crying and saying "I thought Carly was my friend. I trusted her. Why would she say things about me?" AFTER she had said to Chris "Carly has some crazy grudge against me!" and AFTER Carly had called her out multiple times on her BS?

Britt seemed more and more like a big fat faker to me.

climbingsingle · February 2015

Yes! That was totally weird. And I don't ever remember Britt and Carly being friendly. Even the night before when Britt said she was leaving, Carly was calling her out on her BS.

[Deleted User] · February 2015

I was sad to see Carly go. Not because I thought she and Chris worked, but I found her commentary entertaining. Seems like she always said what everyone was already thinking, for better or worse. It did become childish in this last episode though.

I think he will have Kaitlyn and Whitney in the final two. Becca is super sweet and gorgous, but I haven't seen much personality from her. I think he picks Whitney.

I would love to see Kaitlyn as the next Bachlorette.

As far as Jade goes, I wasn't surprised he sent her home. not because of the Playboy thing (everyone has a past) but because I don't think she would be happy in Iowa. Oh well, she walked away with some fabulous diamonds and Louboutins from that princess date.

Also, was anyone else thinking it would be slightly amusing (albeit totally wrong) if the production crew had conspicuously placed Jade's Playboy into the "man room" at the fertility clinic?

Hahah! I totally thought that too.

I think Caitlyn will be the next Bachelorette.

This is totally not credible information (Because I heard it from a friend who heard it somewhere) BUT -- the information I got was that Britt is set to be the next bachelorette

climbingsingle · February 2015

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what Reality Steve thinks. And he does tend to be right about things. Though I would prefer Carly or Kaitlyn.

theycallmelinz · February 2015

I refuse to watch it if Britt is next. I'm totally team Carly for the next one!

And I said the SAME thing to FI about the producers putting Playboys in the clinic with Jade in them. They definitely dropped the ball on that one lol

thespeshulestsnowflake · February 2015

Am I the only one who is curious what Britt looks like under the pounds of makeup? I have nothing against people (or others) wearing that much makeup, but I get curious what she really looks like under it all.

I predict Carly. That's just my gut feel; I think she would be a fun bachelorette.

Her lipstick bugs me. I can deal with the glitter, and she really is a beautiful girl. But that lipstick every single damn day in her purples and pinks and deep reds. Give it a rest girl!

Me too, though they all got the lipstick, it was in the goody bag the contestants receive. She just never took it off!

lol yep me too!

I would love for Carly to be the next bachelorette. I could tell that she and Chris didn't have that strong of a connection but I really liked her. She seemed like one of the most honest, no-nonsense, down-to-earth girls on the show. And she's adorable.

[Deleted User] · February 2015

Ugggghhhh I would NOT watch if Britt is the next Bachelorette. I am Team Kaitlyn or Carly. Carly was a lot of fun to watch and I think Kaitlyn has such a genuine personality.

daria24 · February 2015

I kind of think less of Chris for not saying to Jade "that's ok, you don't have to show me, I'd rather have this moment privately" or something like that. I would not want to be on TV looking at porn haha.

I think Kaitlyn would be a fun Bachelorette, she reminds me of Jillian (not just because she's Canadian ha!) that she's more fun-loving, down for anything. She doesn't have the "emotional" arc yet but if/when she gets dumped maybe she'll have a "story." And she'll have finished in the Top 3, and they almost always choose someone from the Top 4.

I really, really don't want it to be Britt. But I can see what they would choose her. She's very attractive, she was a front-runner who spiraled out of control, she's very emotional. I guess we'll see how WTA goes and if she can rehabilitate her image enough. I think she would be the producers' choice. But I just don't like her or her story at all.

I think Carly has the story arc (she lacks confidence because she isn't the "hot" girl, she just wants to be love, etc). But I would be surprised if they choose her. I don't exactly know why I feel that way, but she just doesn't seem to be the sort of lead they would go for.

Jade and Becca don't have a prayer since they are both soooooo quiet. And reserved. And yeah they aren't going for the Playboy girl who barely speaks. Or the virgin who won't feel comfortable doing a hot tub makeout.

Since 99.9% of people hate Whitney's voice, I think that would be enough to kill her chances.

YES! She was outside crying so loud. It seemed so fake and that she just wanted him to hear and come out and talk her into staying. I was actually pretty surprised that he was letting her go. I thought he would have fought for her, too (not that he should have).

lc07 · February 2015

Also, did you guys know that Carly is Zak from Desiree's season's little sister? I liked Zak! I wanted him to win or be Bachelor on Des's season.

The Bachelor
