Let's talk about The Bachelor this week. *potential spoiler alert*

edited January 2016 in Chit Chat
Who is watching?? Thoughts so far?? Favorites? Girls you just can't stand??

I can already tell you right now that Lace is the girl I can't stand. She is just awful on so many levels.

So far I am cheering for Becca, and I also really like Jojo and Olivia (potentially- depending on if the previews are true).

Overall the girls seem very classy this season. I really like Ben. I thought he might be boring at first, but now I'm thinking he might just be more shy/introverted.

  • Let's talk about how Clemson is doing instead.
      
    :tongue: 






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • @lyndausvi are they winning?? I really want them to win over Bama.

  • 7-14 Clemson.    Clemson just threw an interception.

  • I was never a big fan of Ben on Kaitlyn's season. Not that there was anything wrong with him, he just didn't stand out to me, but I actually do like him as the Bachelor. I think he is really sweet and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy. 

    I can't stand Olivia nor Lace. I didn't mind Olivia at first, but after this episode I really don't think she is a good fit for Ben. I get the impression that she is just there to win, not find love. Not gonna lie though Lace has given me a couple good chuckles tonight though so I don't know if she should leave just yet.

    I really really like Amanda a lot. I think that she is SO SWEET and would be an awesome fit for Ben. Caila is my number two. 
  • half time tied 14-14.  If you care.

    I care! Let's go Tigers!

  • #teamCaila

    Go Clemson!
  • Sorry to resurrect an old post .... any thoughts about the season so far?  Anyone have favorites?  (Mine is Caila)
  • Ah I forgot about this thread and I'm happy to see it back! 

    I actually don't like Caila... I don't think she's that into Ben and I get annoyed at anyone who sincerely describes themselves as "complicated" (which, to be fair is basically every girl on this show but she was especially egregious last week).

    I love the single mom (what is her name??) and he obviously also has a good connection with Lauren B. I also like Becca and JoJo. I was sad to see Lauren H. go... really I don't think I super dislike any of them now that Olivia's gone.

    My least favorite of the ones I can remember right now (lol) is Emily. She seems immature and dramatic and I was surprised to see from the preview that she makes it all the way to meet his parents. 

    At this point I always start thinking about who will be the next Bachelorette. I think Becca could be good but I do not want to watch a whole season with them constantly making a huge deal of how she's a virgin. 
  • I can never remember the single mom's name either, but I really like her.

    Caila reminds me of the girl version of one of my ex-boyfriends. Attractive and fun to be around but "scared" and pretty vague about feelings. The whole "I think I'm falling in love with you but I'm afraid I'll hurt you" thing struck a bad note with me because I dated someone who said the same thing all. the. time. Guess what? We didn't last. So I'm having a hard time liking her.

    JoJo is my favorite. She just seems so genuine and normal. She seems to really be in tune with Ben's emotions and knows when to comfort him.

    I'm not the biggest Emily fan, but her cussing cracks me up. I don't know why, it's just hilarious to see someone that drop-dead gorgeous cuss like a sailor. She seems a little young and immature, though, which is not a good fit for Ben. He's a pretty deep thinker.

    Becca is ok, but I don't think she and Ben have any chemistry. I also don't want her to be the next bachelorette. Shes a virgin - big deal!!! It happens. The focus would be totally on that, and it would just be too much for me.

  • I read the Reality Steve spoilers, and it seems like he could be right this year. What I'm curious about is the teasers that make it seem like he sent someone home and regrets it. And then maybe calls her? Who knows. 

    Love JoJo. Becca is still pretty boring.

    I hope JoJo is the next Bachelorette if he doesn't pick her! She definitely seems real and nice- she reminds me of Kaitlyn from last season but without all the things that drove me crazy about her. 

    I think the part last episode where Ben was talking to JoJo and was like "I think you of all people understand [how I'm feeling etc]" was pretty telling. It seems like he kind of sees her as like a person he can depend on already.
  • I was sad to see Lauren H. go. Not sure how I feel about Lauren B. and Caila. I like Becca but I don't think I see her and Ben together. I like the single mom (Amanda?) and it looks like Ben is meeting her daughters soon? Right now though my favorite is JoJo.

    How about the look ahead to the rest of the season? Ben crying?

  • First of all, Ben is so pitiful looking when he cries that I can hardly stand it!

    The look ahead looks like he sends one girl home and then calls her back?? I'm with @climbingwife in wondering how it's going to turn out. Sometimes they build those teasers up to look like something that they aren't, so it's hard to tell. For all we know, he was calling his mom or something in the teaser.

  • I wonder if this is Jason Mesnick 2.0 ..... and yes, there are a lot of ugly criers.

    ABC does this all the time - I can't stand it.  It usually turns out to be nothing, but hey, I guess they gotta try and keeps things interesting for ratings.

    Am I the only non-fan of Ben?  There's something about him, in his eyes, that reminds of a college sleaze bag.

    I had the same thought too, that maybe he was calling a relative and they cut it to look like he's calling someone back. They always do shit like that. And I always fall for it.
