The Bachelor Week 1

[Deleted]

What did you ladies think?

There was very little drama   "Lauren the jilted fiancee" was more pathetic sad than drama sad....but I quite enjoy the ADA....can't recall her name....Ali?  She seems pretty sharp (rare for this show.). Also loved the woman who got the first impression rose and seemed very "erhm, sure?" 

Another highlight was the terrible, awkward confusion when the redhead in the pink thought she had been called...but it looks like another trash-tastic season is ahead!

(Also, H and I were quite dissapointed when Sean was shirtless...looks like he is clearly OFF his Bachelor shred diet...he has lost those sweet pecs....yes, H noticed, don't judge!)

I just can't quit this awesome show

[Deleted]

I kept thinking there was another hour missing. Sort of a snoozefest. I told H I really hope the ADA doesn't humiliate herself on tv because she seems smart and sharp.

I have to watch it online, because Mr. GT watched it during his snow day and then deleted it. GRRRRR!!

[spindle92]

The red head who got the boot is from a town I use to live in. She is saying the producers set her up to look foolish. I am not buying it, from what I hear from people back there she is pretty foolish all on her own.

I couldn't make it past the girls getting out of the limos. I know the first girl (Amy L.) - it was just to awkward/embarrassing to watch.

The girl hearing her name wrong was super awkward! I really like the pediatric nurse--can't remember her name. Wasn't overly fond of the opera singer that got the first impression rose, but I did like that she didn't seem to fit the mold and has a good sense of self.

Yes!

For now, I'm a fan of Nicki (the nurse).  I thought her introduction with the stethoscope was cute.

The opera singer is super awkward.  That said, I also appreciate her atypical look, personality, and perspective.  However, if she doesn't loosen up a bit, I hope she gets the boot.

The episode really bored me. Then I felt like the end showed basically everything that happens all season. The red headed girl seemed not very smart. Those two names did not even sound that close. Hoping this weeks episode is better because this is my guilty pleasure

[Deleted]

Also...how have we not talked about the FREE SPIRIT and DOG LOVER!?! Dog lover didn't get much TV time, but (1) those aren't jobs and (2) the Free Spirit is clearly just on to give us a few "that's weird" moments...right!?

[pugz]

hello guys FAKE PREGNANT CHICK??

[M]

I haven't had a chance to watch it but I'm excited to see...Juan Pablo.

H doesn't care to watch it this season because I'm excited about...Juan Pablo.

[marina007]

Also, what is a "Mineral consultant"?!

I think Juan Pablo seems a but awkward, full of himself, uncaring and not-too-clever. Hehe, but that just makes it all the more entertaining.

I *wish* the opera singer had not accepted the rose (she seemed genuinely reluctant) - would have been an epic burn!

Apparently she is from the town I used to live in too. Do you know her?

[lolo]

I am sad that I now need to log in to my cable provider in order to watch it. No cable = no bachelor. :,(

[sweetiesparkles]

No, Bachelor is on network television.....ABC.

Lolo, i might be wrong on this, but I thought that they just delayed it for non-subscribers.  As in, if you can verify you have cable you see it within a week of it coming out, and then after that I think it opens up and is more widely available?

[Stingyshark]

I think you can watch it in abc.com. I have watched it there during previous seasons.

[vegas]

Did the chick with the special needs siblings go home? She was one of my favorites but I don't think she got a rose.

I didn't like the girl who received the first impression rose.

I was sucked in to this show a few years ago during ben's season and nothing/no one can suck me back out! I think I may have even roped DH into watching this season with me but It's too early to say for sure.

[mrshandy]

Not too bad. Like someone else said, I don't enjoy the drama too much. Just the relationships. My H's friend from high school was the single mom Renee. She seems really nice and a good match for Juan. It will be interesting to see what happens.

[M]

So H and I finally watched it last night. H really likes Juan Pablo's personality and will be watching the whole season with me haha. H especially liked it when he said "We will see each other later" (or whatever he actually said) in Spanish in the lowered voice after that girl left. H does that voice sometimes so it was funny to him to hear it come from someone else haha.

I really like the nurse. She seems really sweet and genuine. I also like the prosecutor...looked like they had a good conversation. I can't believe he kept free spirit! And what was up with the one spilling all of her previous relationship issues already?!

Well, who wants to wait a week? LOL. 

I have enlisted the help of an accomplice and have now seen it.

Yikes, I feel badly for the girl who thought she was called but was not...
