<p>Oh wow, these tigeress’s are the same age as DS.
He doesn’t have a chance. He’s gonna be cat food.
Hope not females are like them-,
I forgot, I hooked one for his mother. </p>
<p>:p
:9
:lol:</p>
<p>LongPrime, are you watching trash TV? :p</p>
<p>I’ve never watched one of those shows , but my niece in Sweden was the final contestant ( if that is what you would refer to the last one standing as ) on a similar show over there.
We knew about it right before it aired , but were sworn to secrecy 
Now she lives with the guy and his two children…go figure</p>
<p>I admit that I watch this ridiculous show. Two of my Ds and I watch, separately, and ‘chat’ during the show. I’ve always thought it was a terrible concept for ‘finding love’ and the number of couples who have actually maintained successful relationships is almost none. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if I’m getting impatient, or jaded, or oblivious, or what, to the women they have on this season but it’s not even remotely entertaining, even in a trash tv way. Of the ones who have had substantial air time, there’s only one who appears even remotely normal, and I’m surprised that she hasn’t been sent packing yet! Last night’s episode was even more silly than usual.</p>
<p>One thing I try to remember when watching the show is that much of it is scripted. They don’t want you to believe that, but it’s true. After every show, my Ds and I say, why are we watching this ridiculous show?! :)</p>
<p>LongPrime, I can’t wait until your ds gets married. I think all of cc should be invited to the wedding.</p>
<p>I usually watch this show. I actually boycotted the season Ben was on with Ashley, except the final three episodes. (insert embarrassed smiley here). The whole Shawntel thing was so dumb last night, but I like several of the girls on there this season. I think everyone seems MORE normal this season. </p>
<p>alwaysamom, who is the one you think is normal.</p>
<p>Youdon’tsay, the girl I like and who seems really nice to me is Kacie B. I acknowledge that there may be others but not all of them have had much airtime, and additionally, I know that the way the show is edited often portrays some in a very bad light, which may not necessarily be accurate. </p>
<p>I agree that the return of Shawntel (what a silly name!) was dumb.</p>
<p>Ben seriously needs a barber! Such a nice fellow, but these girls seem more dimwitted than usual!</p>
<p>I agree about Ben’s hair. I almost boycotted this season, too, because in the off-season, they generally spruce the bachelor or bachelorette up … and that’s the best they could do with him? Blech.</p>
<p>I also like Kaci B. She a favorite along with Emily. I’m unclear why Monica is still around. And that Courtney, for a model, isn’t that pretty to me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why certhainly. Ever since Oldfort said she would pay instead of having her D’s elope, and since she’s been reinstated. Buttt… if her D is like her, I’d be a >little, afraid. :$</p>
<p>LP. I am sure they wouldn’t hurt a fly…</p>
<p>My D was home from break and we watched 2 different episodes. Yes, the hair cut of Ben is atrocious … I just want to get my scissors and fix it, and I’m not even a professional. He is a very nice human, though, so perhaps that’s why I kept watching. I do like a few of the girls, but that model looks like she’s had some plastic surgery, as something is not natural about her nose or mouth. It’s weird how she is so mean with the girls and then turns it on so differently with Ben … I suspect a little more drama if she starts to fall out of favor with Ben. </p>
<p>Now if the snow would come here in the Northeast, I would be outdoors, but this is what happens when Mother Nature doesn’t do her job … I watch these kinds of TV shows.</p>
<p>Of course there is a saying, “Don’t touch anything you can’t afford.”</p>
<p>I watched an episode last week. I think it is weird and creepy to have that many girls wanting to date this guy. They wait around for him to make up his mind? The guy isn’t that good looking. And then his old flame showed up. Really?</p>
<p>oldfort, I think the premise of the show is weird and creepy, too, regardless of whether or not the people on it are good-looking. As I said, I don’t know why I keep watching. The girl that showed up last week was not an old flame. In fact, he’d never met her face to face. She was on another season of the show and they had had texting and online correspondence a few times. That’s it. </p>
<p>I think this season is the weirdest yet and I would not be at all surprised if Ben ends up with that awful model girl.</p>
<p>Has anyone read Reality Steve’s spoilers? I agree about Ben’s hair needing some serious work. He is nice but dopey, and so many of these girls are beyond dippy. You’ve only known him for 2 weeks - would you really be crying and having a breakdown when he didn’t give you a rose? The show is sooo scripted. Of course I keep (half) watching though! Two of the girls are from my state/area.</p>
<p>I haven’t, jambaby. Does Steve know the “winner”?</p>
<p>He says he does, ha ha! In previous seasons he has known every single detail up until the finale but then had the final results wrong (I think the show purposely leaks the wrong result). It is interesting to watch knowing who the final four ladies are and (maybe) the winner.</p>
<p>How does anyone stand watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows? Just the seeing the short promotions get on my last nerve. Then again, I realize one might well ask the same question of my own guilty pleasure, The Biggest Loser. :p</p>
<p>Jambaby, I haven’t read Reality Steve. Do you know how he gets his info? Do you think it’s an inside source or is the show actually leaking information? I wouldn’t put it past them, there are so many silly things that happen. I think your description of Ben as nice but dopey is an accurate one. 
</p>
<p>I don’t know if this bothers anyone else as much as it does me but at the rose ceremony where he stands up there, holding the rose, for what seems an endless amount of time, and appears to be trying to decide what name to call next? Ridiculous! And I always wonder how, at the first ceremony, he manages to remember all the names of the ones he wants to keep around. I’ve always said to my Ds that there’s probably a screen set up behind the women with the names scrolling across it! My H thinks that my Ds and I who watch are crazy. He shakes his head and rolls his eyes, saying “for a group of intelligent and educated women, I don’t know how you can find this entertaining”. I then remind him of the endless car auctions he likes to watch on tv, sometimes even reruns of previous ones! :)</p>
<p>I just looked up who Reality Steve says are the final two. And in the process I found an article on the Huffington Post about why smart women watch and love the show. Bottom line: “So instead of taking ‘The Bachelor’ franchise too seriously or using it as any kind of model for our own conduct, we take from it exactly what it can give us – an escape from our daily lives, a reason to appreciate our real, imperfect romances, and an excuse to drink wine on a Monday night … sans tears.”</p>
