The Bachelor

[Deleted]

I can't be the only one who continues to get swept into the vortex of skank.

Last night did not disappoint with the Oncologist who openly declared that her "eggs are rotting" and she needed to reproduce. Lovely.

This guy is cuter than the more recent bachelors but there's something off about him. His cheeks are weird. Or something.

You're not the only one!

The first time I saw the new bachelor, I agreed with the "best bachelor yet" hype. But throgh the course of the show last night, he lost some of his lustre with me too. I think they're hyping him so much as the best ever that it starts to make him look worse or something.

The oncologist girl was NUTS! I love the bit at the end with her harassing the crew guy trying to get him to admit she deserved to still be there. Best crazy woman they've ever had. I can understand totally why she was cut, but from a viewer standpoint, I'm sorry to see her go! Maybe ABC will cast her as the next Bachelorette. It'll be the first time ever that the first episode goes "Will you accept this rose?" "Um, no thanks" 25 times. Each episode can be 25 more guys rejecting her.

Heh. I especially loved when she was like "I'll just join the convent" My first thought was that convents have psych tests which she would undoubtedly fail and then she'd have to realize that when you're rejected by Jesus, the problem might be you and not everyone else.

Or when she was listing off everything she'd tried (personals, matchmakers, online dating, blind dates, speed dating, etc) and nothing worked. Oh the denial! The delicious taste of denial! Honey, if THAT many people can't stand to be around you, perhaps you need to turn it down a notch.

It's all so much fun.

I especially love their job titles. A 25-year-old Director of Public Relations. A CFO who's under 30. A "vitamin sales representative" whatever that is and a "model" who appears to be 5'6" and only moderately cute.

And also, who names their child Princess?

After the first episode each season, I"m sorry that I didn't tape it. There is always so much going on that I totally miss out on who some of the people are and what not. I always wish I had it on tape to go back and watch the first half again once I've seen how it ends up.

I thought the same thing about Princess. It cracked me up because Cole had come along just before that, and he'd been so taken by her unique name. Then, Princess came along, and it looked like he was almost laughing at her name. Poor girl. I think I'd have to adopt a different name. But then, maybe the fact that she has not says something about her.

I thought Crazy Egg Lady was entertaining but I like insanity on "reality" TV. Some of those women had scary expressions on their faces during the rose ceremony. The doc seems dull and is not hot. Who knows, maybe some of the keepers will be entertaining too. Let's see, there's Miss Drunken Canadian, Miss My Strapless Gown Won't Stay Up, Miss Crazy-Eyed Kindergarten Teacher, and Miss Good Rockin' Tonight (the curvy one in the black gown).

It would have been interesting to see a French bachelor and 25 American women or an American bachelor with 25 French women.

Did anyone else start to get really annoyed by so many of the women thanking HIM for their being there? What exactly did he have to do with it? Mike Fleiss is the one who brought ALL of them to France. I also had to laugh at the number of girls who told him they hoped he could show them around ... as if he had so much more knowledge of Paris than they did!

[Deleted]

I think that our Nashville ABC station will be doing some segments with him as the show progresses, seeing as he lives around here. After hearing about crazy onocologist I am almost sad I couldn't watch it, had to take a friend to the airport.Let us hope for repeats.

[anne]

I wish that Mike Fleiss would come up with idea of making the crazy oncologist a co-host for the rest of the season with Chris. It would be fantastic. Everytime he'd hand out a rose, she could be there to say "Now see, why did you give HER a rose? Is it because she's got big boobs? Because she doesn't want babies? You big liar! You could have me"

[biondetta]

Oh man! I can't believe I missed this! These shows are so bad, but I can't resist them. Now I've already missed one of the crazies!

[anne]

DOn't worry - I think the crazy will continue. I'm willing to guess that the desparation to stay will be compounded this season. When they were sending people home, Chris kept talking about how you'd be "Flying back to the US TONIGHT". These women aren't just competing for the guy. They're competing to extend their French vacation too.
