The Bachelor 13: Episode Discussion

Alright, for the sake of having a view on this show I am going to forgo watching sure to be epic "The Story of India" tonight on PBS and give this a shot.

[quote=Bacchus;43002]Alright, for the sake of having a view on this show I am going to forgo watching sure to be epic "The Story of India" tonight on PBS and give this a shot.[/quote] Is this scripted?????? What fun I will have. I'm totally clueless when taken out of my comfort zone.

[quote=V1man;43004]There is no real scripted dialogue except for Chris Harrison's role and the names of those read by Jason at each elimination. Obviously, production wants to know who they are in advance so that the cameras can capture their individual reaction. Is the show spontaneous? Some say no. When you are sitting in a hot tub with a guy or lady you really don't know, and there are six people in the TV crew standing around you, I'm told it feels a little staged.[/quote] So can I pre Judge? Any rules to blogging when you don't know them in the real world?

Oh do I hate the super teases. This is one of those shows... I hit mute and came here to type as to not spoil the next segment.

:( I am just now turning it on! I completely forgot about it.... At least I get to catch the eliminations. Edit: Never mind, he is just now going into the house... It must last for two hours. :D

I am not going to lie, some of this is just a bit too much, lol. Nicole seems to have handled the poem better than I. :D

[quote=Bacchus;43013]I am not going to lie, some of this is just a bit too much, lol. Nicole seems to have handled the poem better than I. :D[/quote] I am really, really trying. This is tough to watch. Why does the Jersey Girl have such a fresh mouth????? That was a rhetorical question.

My intial picks have done little other than prove why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I chose both Megan and Erica. I'm now retracting both endorsements and replacing them with Nikki and Melissa.

Sadly she is just my type which says a lot unfortunately, lol. I court trouble. I hope he cans her next week... As for the others, I think he did a good job as most of those that got cut would have been on my list to get the early exit (at least if I followed my vision boards.) I personally would have kept Nicole for a bit longer as she had a few interesting, positive personality traits. I think Brazilian girl should salsa herself out the door and soon. Faux snaggle tooth needs to go. I don't like Megan at all and I think Sharon is just plain weird. Lauren is hot. She might not be a bad choice although I question her reasons for being on the show. Not sure how into him she really is. [B]BTW:[/B] What is up with the girl that comes back from the preview? Whoever it is, it looks like she brings the drama! Heck, I might give this show a shot if enough people want to chat about it - although Monday is a busy TV night with House, 24, Chuck and Heroes!

[quote=Phoenix;43024]That was the last Bachelorette, DeAnna... she picked the other guy instead of Jason on the season Finale.[/quote] Oh snap! This should be fun.

[quote=Bacchus;43026]Oh snap! This should be fun.[/quote] At least you remember some names. And I do like Jersey Girll (fresh mouth and all). It's time for me to call the child and get the inside track. If not I will PM you Bacchus and we can discuss your vision boards!

Yay I had no idea you all would be discussing this, or I would have been right here. The whole meet and greet night's are usually pretty slow moving and weird. I think Jason is gong to be the best Bachelor this show has ever had( and those shot's with his shirt off dont hurt) because he is taking it seriuosly, but not to seriuosly. A few thing's to touch on Stephanie the widowed mother, ahhhh there is something wrong with her. No Body language at all. My favorite Melissa barely got shown at all, BoOO!

[quote=V1man;43063]Maybe Melissa will get a slow reveal, letting us all fall for her too?[/quote] That is my hope V. I am a hopeless romantic! I just dont want to see what happened with Deanna, no offense to her, but I feel like the edit they were showing was Jason as F1. I think my heart was broken right along with his. Although it did turn out to be the best for him!

[quote=V1man;43526]I going to try hard not to be upset about the DeAnna stuff in future episodes. I just know too much backstory to be comfortable with what Mike Fleiss elected to do. Damn that non-disclosure agreement![/quote] I hear ya V, there are a lot of people out there wondering why she comes to see him?

The Bachelor replays tonight at 8 on ABC. I'll probably watch the first 30 minutes as I missed it the first time around and don't really know the whole background.

Yay!!! This is the only time of year that I look forward to Monday's! We get to see Jason 's 1 on 1 date with Melissa!!!!

I hate pre-show previews that give away all the best parts of the coming show. I literally just plugged my ears for two minutes like I was two years old because the remote was out of reach and I had no recourse. I like to enjoy the show as it unfolds and having a preconceived idea of how things are going to go down ruins it for me. I wish they would stop doing that! Yes, I know I complain about this all the time. :D

Shannon is a psycho. I'm worried for Jason's safety. lol I kinda like Hotdog Jillian. Does anyone else?

[quote=Insider;44235]Shannon is a psycho. I'm worried for Jason's safety. lol I kinda like Hotdog Jillian. Does anyone else?[/quote] I agree about Shannon. Jillian seems like friend material, haha. Fun, yes - but not his next wife. I think his first rose selection was the right one.

[quote=V1man;44237]Does anyone want me to nominate Bacchus to be the next bachelor? I just happen to know someone who has cast for the series.[/quote] It sounds like a gig I could handle. I forward you some headshots, see if we can get some traction with this, lol. Back to Shanon - Ice cubes? Is this second grade?

[quote=Bacchus;44240] Back to Shanon - Ice cubes? Is this second grade?[/quote] 15 women competing for the attention of one man...yes it feels like 2nd grade!

[quote=LilysMom;44243]15 women competing for the attention of one man...yes it feels like 2nd grade![/quote] Well, that is true! ....I just thought it was a bit desperate. However, Shanon is a wacko so maybe that will play to her advantage. The date with Melisa was good. I think she'll be a top five. She had all the right answers.

[quote=Bacchus;44244] The date with Melisa was good. I think she'll be a top five. She had all the right answers.[/quote] I agree. I def like her too. She's going to be one of the top girls for sure. btw... Shannon just laughed.. and it gave me chills. I hope Jason's son doesn't have a pet bunny!!
