I am guessing this show's not getting too many viewers here since it's up against 24/House, CBS comedies and Chuck/Heroes. But... for those that are...

What is up with what the previews showed for week after next? Looks like it will be a first in Bachelor history.

Any thoughts on this? Do you think it's a set-up by ABC to attract more viewers and controversy? Somehow, I don't think so... other shows, yeah... but it doesn't feel right for The Bachelor...

I'm sorry, I haven't been watching it but is it this Jason you're talking about?



because that's the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the thread title and it took me at least a few minutes to stop laughing at the thought of it.

leeta

Should have thought of that since it was just Friday the 13th!

I'm sure the rejected contestants think of him that way!

Now see THAT I'd watch. Whoever doesn't get a rose literally gets the axe.

If you watch The Bachelor, you have to read Chris Harrison’s blogs (he is the host. "Jason, girls, this is the final rose" (that guy)). They are great and provide a lot of behind-the-scenes information. Episode 7 was the New Zealand show, Episode 6 was the hometown date show, etc.

Personally, I thought it would come down to Melissa and Jillian, with Jillian being proposed to. At this point I would say that my head is saying he should go with Molly, but my “heart” is saying Melissa. Melissa seems like a great girl, but there is a lot of baggage. She is dumped everytime, her parents and brother don't care enough to come onto the show, her friends say that her boyfriends always "use and abuse" her. I'm not sure that she can handle a serious relationship. But she is very attractive (and a former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader). Molly... cute girl but very WASP-ish. Jullian really was the better choice in my opinion.

As far as Deanna goes, I don’t see him going back with her. Whenever they show her talking with him then him running out onto the balcony in despair, notice that he is wearing completely different clothes. I think the scene of him running out onto the balcony is right after he tells either Melissa or Molly that he chose the other.

With regard to spoiler tags - I think we are the only two reading this thread aside from a few Friday the 13th fans so I don’t think spoilers are really needed.

And there are three more shows for this season. Next week is the "women tell all" show followed by the final rose ceremony, followed by a wrapup episode (which I guess tells their current status).

Jason is the most bland and boring bachelor ever.

Perhaps you should remember the "charismatic" Brad.

cdollaz

Brad was better than this guy.

Thanks for the info and insights. Interesting blogs.

I'm also surprised he didn't pick Jillian. She seemed more his type and they sure heated up the screen in that hot tub scene. He had stated that the only thing he wasn't sure about was her passion...

I don't see him choosing Molly. They don't seem to fit.

Not surprised that he picked Melissa. She even looks like Deanna, but there are lots of unanswered questions with her... It's my guess that this season won't end with an official engagement, but more like a 'promise' ring.

I've been watching the show for the first time this season . I must admit I've enjoyed it so far. I dont think I'll watch the next one though .
I like Melissa. Really dont like Molly. I could have lived with Jillian making it to the end.

One blog I've been reading says he has info on how it will end. He says he will be posting it tomorrow.

Really liked Jillian, but I think Jason needs to "take care of someone" and that someone is Melissa. Jillian is to strong a woman for him, and Molly seems really fake to me. Like she is forcing a good time.

I really like Jason as the bachelor, he is def. a DILF. There is no accounting for the chemistry he has with Melissa, and I see her taking the final rose.

Bluelitespecial

I only like watching to see how hot and crazy the women are, but this season interfered with too many other shows.

leeta

If what he says is true, it's every bit as shocking as ABC has been promising.. if it's true, hopefully it will backfire on everyone involved..

spainlinx0

And with that, I won't read it.

I will comment, but in spoiler tags since I am discussing based on previews:

Jason

Gee, thanks.

Heat

Interesting show, I wonder if Jillian will be the next Bachelorette?

And the previews for next week look good, it will be interesting to see Jason's family interviewing Molly and Melissa, as well as to see Jason's reaction when Deanna comes back.

Jason, you have the same name as the Bachelor. Which one would you choose?

leeta

Heat, did you read the 'realitysteve' link? It will be interesting to see if that rumor is true...

Patman

Molly's hot. Enjoyed her goofy family.

Melissa's voice would drive me up the walls. Plus I find her a bit too immature at the moment.

I'd picked Gillian and Molly for my final 2. Wouldn't mind seeing Gillian as the next Bachelorette.

Stephanie looked a little too much like Joan Allen at times.

Heat

The pieces are coming together now with what happened. Pretty heavy stuff so I’ll put it in spoilers:

Edit: Really heavy stuff. If you read this you will probably be less inclined to watch the rest of the show. Read at your own risk.


It looks like next week will be a very interesting show!

edited to update the spoiler

spainlinx0

I kind of wish I didn't read the spoilers.

magiccmom

uh yeah, me too. I'm done with the show. I've always enjoyed it, but this was the last straw for me.

Heat

I've added a new warning for the spoiler, as well as deleted my earlier guesses. I'll be recording it so I can skip through the slow parts / commercials. The After the Rose Ceremony on Tuesday will be worth watching.

Minor spoiler:

sinned

I'm not reading the spoiler posted by Heat, but I'm really intrigued. I'm still guessing that the Deanna thing is a red herring & that nothing will come out of it.

Any further discussion of Heat's spoilers.... please make sure they are in spoilers as well!

Jason

I don't watch it, just looked out of curiosity because of the name.

If there are pics if the girls anywhere. I'd be happy to make a totally shallow decision based solely on physical appearance though
