The Bachelor

[anne]

Last season, Sarah the nurse was edited to appear the same way. Krisily was the cute little thing that Charlie really had a spark with, and Sarah the nurse was his buddy. Then suddenly at the end, there was this chemistry with Sarah that had been there and edited out all along.

I forgot to mention earlier the part that I laughed at the hardest last night - When Travis was having dinner with Susan and telling her that he liked to be challenged, and didn't like a woman to just agree with everything he said. Susan said she understood completely and that it was important to be herself and not just follow everything he or any other guy wanted her to be. In other words, she was doing EXACTLY what he said he didn't care for by agreeing with him regardless.

I noticed that too, and his expression of complete disbelief afterwards. It was pretty funny.

Can we have a poll here about who the winner will be?

Democratic Candidate-Moana
Republican Candidate-Sarah

Not to point out the obvious but Topher and oxynia backing Moana, and anne backing Sarah cracks me up.

[Oxynia]

Which means Moana will run out of steam in the final stretch, Sarah will rig the vote and declare herself a winner, and Travis will sit between the two and wonder what the $%@# just happened.

I never watched any of the previous series and only saw about half of this one. It's a pretty sick concept, if you think about it.

I never watched the first season so I enjoyed seeing that girl get insulted by the concept of an overnight date. Very cool. She'd only been alone with the guy once or twice and he wants to spend the night with her and she's smart enough to find that skeevy. Was she cool on the show?

Shannon? She was a total The Rules girl. She might have been cool if she wasnt such a pissy and prissy princess. But considering what a loser Alex Michel the first bachelor was, she had a lucky escape. She was the only one of the final 3 who didnt put out which kind of set the trend for all shows to follow

Sarah is the "safe, future doctor's wife" pick. The fact that she's playing it to the hilt means unfortunately Travis will pick her.

But the show could use a little spice at the end. My head says Sarah but the heart says Moana.

Women Tell All! Apparently all they could tell is how big of biatches they all are. Jennifer needs to freakin' chill out. While I could understand if someone who was recently kicked out was still bitter, I can never understand why someone who barely dated the guy and was kicked out fairly early on is still riding the bitter train. Plus, she was really nasty with her relentless attack on Susan (I don't like Susan at all but come on, enough is enough) and her "I don't even know your name so why are you talking?" Damn girl, simma down.

I also was a bit shocked by her constant picking at Canadian Sarah "You were playing with your food!" OK, well, you were crying like a little baby at the bugs. So you're even?

I think Susan is still totally phoney in every way but I did feel bad when she was crying. Hey, they're all pretty fake but she just lasted longer so I don't know why they're flipping out quite so much.

Canadian Sarah made me laugh. Nice that the editors completely left out that she's a drinker who blacks out.

I must also confess now that I think it is Sara from Tennessee. Watching the exchange about "Aww, that's so nice that you gave me your meat" and seeing him laughing and not being all weirdly stiff and romantic made them seem like a natural couple with a little more chemistry.

I don't quite understand why they all decided they LOVE Moana now. That was odd. And normally don't they ask the girls "Who do you think is going to win?" and they all guess. I wonder why they didn't do that this year.

Jennifer needed to be slapped ... several times ... by each of the other women ... and the audience members too.

I have to say (reluctantly) that I've been rather indifferent to Travis all season, but I really gained a lot of respect for him last night. He dodged every single opportunity to really slam any of the women. He answered questions honestly, but was still aware of the fact that he was on TV and these people have feelings. He could have been so slick, funny, and charming to have been slamming the rotting eggs girl, and he steered totally clear of that. Andrew Firestone could have learned a lot from Travis.

Damn, I missed it. I wanted to see Jennifer go crazy. Think it will reair sometime?

[anne]

ABC Family used to re-air all of them, but they don't seem to do that anymore. It just doesn't seem like it's a huge hit, so unless they made a last minute move to air it next week at 8 before the finale, I doubt it.
