Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[FINFAN]

I was thinking the same thing...I hope not

And I don't know if this was already posted or not, but I get ill every time Ben goes to kiss a girl and licks his lips first...

I keep hoping Blakely's uber huge earrings get in the way and block him, lol....maybe his smacking comes from all that wine -tasting, eewwww, now that's gross image as well

What a lot of freaking build up for NOTHING. I am getting sick of this show, why do I waste my life every season?....QUOTE]

....it's like that one horrific accident - we shouldn't, but we can't help but keep looking out of morbid curiosity....

Girls throwing up on a scale from 1 to 10 with blue lips.



I just don't know if I can hang a whole season. There is bad, and then there is unwatchable. This very well might be unwatchable.

When fainting girl did her thing DH said "It's okay, there's a funeral director in the room". LOL

 

[kimmar067]

Okay, I just lost an hour of my life....

I DVR'd it so I could FF thru most of it because I'd rather pull my eyes out with a spoon than suffer thru one of Ben's one on one dates..

I just wanted to find out who was the mystery girl!

Uh...THUD! :confused What a waste of time. I actually want to write ABC to give me a refund on my time!!

Horrid show... bad bad BAD.





.see y'all next week!!

This show blows. I'll be surprised if I make to the end of this one...

What a lot of freaking build up for NOTHING. I am getting sick of this show, why do I waste my life every season?

I think Courtney needs to consult with an OT or something for her upper lip dysfunction, I can't stop staring at it.

...we're all complaining, yet here we all are..... WE ARE A PATHETIC LOT.

His kisses must be lip smackin' good! They are certainly loud enough.

Now we know why tattoo girl went home.

That tattoo was definitely vomit inducing.

Why on earth would anybody do that and why on earth would they think that it's cool or attractive or gangsta or whatever the thought process was there.

{{{shudder}}} I'd be great on this show...I'd make him brush his teeth first if he has been kissing anyone else before me.

Ben's a total bore, and most of the girls are obnoxious. I just want to slap Courtney.

And if Ben were really there to find love (OMG...did I just say that? ) and not for the show, then he would have chosen Shawntel, since it appears he's interested in her (because everything we see is real on these shows ). But he went with what was "fair" to the other girls?

The nice thing about this season, like the prior season with Ashley (was that her name?) is that I can multi-task during it, since it's just ridiculous and I won't miss much.

I'm so sad. I missed the tattoo clip.

{{{shudder}}} I'd be great on this show...I'd make him brush his teeth first if he has been kissing anyone else before me.

So would I. It's too much skank-o-rama in his mouth, seriously. I'd make him Listerine too. And then rinse and repeat.

Ben's a total bore, and most of the girls are obnoxious. I just want to slap Courtney.

He is boring and dull. It's like he's a kid in a candy store with all these girls. And Courtney...she's really strange. She acts with a lot of self-importance, strutting around like she owns Ben. Her behavior (along with most of the other girls) was atrocious towards Shawntel, really classless and rude. I wish Ben had seen that footage.

And if Ben were really there to find love (OMG...did I just say that? ) and not for the show, then he would have chosen Shawntel, since it appears he's interested in her (because everything we see is real on these shows ). But he went with what was "fair" to the other girls?

Are you implying that the show is a farce? I agree though, he looked a leetle too excited to Shawntel. He even said something like she's exactly the kind of girl he'd want to date. So it makes perfect sense to send her home then? Maybe Ben's afraid of some of the girls he already has.

The nice thing about this season, like the prior season with Ashley (was that her name?) is that I can multi-task during it, since it's just ridiculous and I won't miss much.

Lordy, I'm still trying to block out Ashley's season! But I agree, I found myself wandering and doing little things while the show was on. It only got interesting when Shawntel arrived. Someone mentioned upthread that perhaps Ben will call her back, I hope so! Can you imagine how that would chap the hides of the girls left? Ratings gold ABC.

It was disgusting. Thank your lucky stars you missed it. Ben looked like he wanted to vomit, it was hilarious!

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I had forgotten about the in-the-mouth tattoo. Yuck.

[violetrose]

There isn't enough listerine on the planet to make me want to kiss him. If you will, look closely at the way he is kissing. His mouth is sort of half open, but then it doesn't move. Honestly it's one step away from Bachelor Bob who licked their faces. Ewwwww!!

 

[violetrose]

yes, creepy and ugly lipped.

And crazy eyed too, anyone else notice that? Crazy eyes, ugly lips, and bony shoulders. I'm not sure who she is modeling for but I'm thinking she isn't doing too well in the industry.

Here's Benny boy's asessment of last night's episode:

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20561957,00.html

QUOTE:

"I think Mötley Crüe said it best: "Home Sweet Home." San Francisco is the one place on the globe where I am truly happy and feel completely myself. I was so excited to show these women this amazing city and get to know everyone so much better.

The dates this week on The Bachelor were really awesome, as well, and I couldn't wait to go on them.

Let's start with hands down the craziest thing I have ever done in my life – climbing to the top of the Bay Bridge.

Emily and I both had (and probably still have) a fear of heights so it was nice to have someone that understood exactly what I was feeling, and vice versa. Emily got pretty freaked out on the bridge, but I will admit, I was right there with her. The horns from the trucks below were enough to make you lose your mind. The worst part was thinking that if you passed out on the railing, you would wake up hanging from two ropes off the side of the Bay Bridge. Nuts.

Later in the evening, Emily and I had a great dinner, full of lively conversation, and some amazing fireworks. Emily was very easy to talk to, and I can honestly say I enjoyed every moment of the date with her. I found her to be witty, smart, beautiful and everything that I was looking for in a woman.

On to this week's group date: Aside from my flat-ironed hair, everything was going great. I mean, come on, who has ever gone skiing in San Francisco? Kacie B. was the woman who stuck out most to me on the skiing portion of the date. She just bombed the hill as many times as she possibly could, which was awesome. I love someone that is up for a challenge and loves to have fun.

Later that evening, Brittany's departure came as a total shock to me. I respected that fact that her heart wasn't in it and that she didn't want to take away from the other women and their time with me. I wonder what Grandma Sheryl had to say when Brittany got home.

My date with Lindzi was something I had been looking forward to since the first cocktail party. I gave her the first impression rose for a reason and in doing so, I told her it was going to be awhile before our first date. I didn't want to put a target on her back early on so I waited until late in San Francisco to take her out.

The shining moment with Lindzi was in the piano store. I felt like I had known her for a long time, and in that moment I knew there was something special between us.

Shawntel Returns
So I have heard from everyone that makes this show happen that this was truly the craziest cocktail party and rose ceremony in Bachelor history. Having only seen one other season (Brad Womack's), I would have to agree. Wow. Nothing in my life would have ever prepared me for the s––– storm that happened that night.

After watching, I didn't realize that the women were so mean to Shawntel and I was a bit taken aback. I mean I knew it was a bold move on Shawntel's part, but some of the women took it a bit too far.

Shawntel and I had chatted a few times in between seasons and I thought she was an interesting, beautiful woman and she was right to assume that there was a connection. There was, but the timing was wrong. So, you can imagine how surprised I was when she showed up to the cocktail party unannounced.

I knew if I kept Shawntel around I would lose all the credibility I had built with these women and it wouldn't be easy to dig myself out of that hole.

Let's put it this way – if Shawntel had started the journey with the rest of the women it might have been different. But I was already so happy with the group of women that I had that I wasn't about to jeopardize the rest of my experience in trying to find love. I do want to thank Shawntel though for coming. She gave up a lot to try this and I really respect her for it.

Well, that's it for San Francisco. What a ride!"

6. Fainting girl - come on! You've talked to him twice and now you're passing out over him. And what is the "someone bring some orange juice solution?" Is she diabetic?

She could have just been hypoglycemic. Alcohol has a lot of sugar in it. Meanwhile, we don't know how long it's been since the gals had anything real and substantial to eat. Her blood sugar could have been way low. Although, I think she was just sick from drinking too much.

I'm beginning to think they brought her back as the lead in for being the next Bachelorette. I imagine her dating life is not as "lively" as she might hope, lol.

I think so too. I can't imagine she has had too many takers after putting Brad on the embalming table. They'd have to find her contestants who'd be willing to agree to having that in her life.

When fainting girl did her thing DH said "It's okay, there's a funeral director in the room". LOL

Are you implying that the show is a farce? I agree though, he looked a leetle too excited to Shawntel. He even said something like she's exactly the kind of girl he'd want to date. So it makes perfect sense to send her home then? Maybe Ben's afraid of some of the girls he already has.

I think after Brittany left, he became afraid of all the other girls walking out & rejecting him. He was also there when Ashley made her announcement that the other guy came back, and Mickey left because of it.

Finally, deep down, he's too much of a wimp to handle many furious women.

This stinks! I just spent 30 min replying to all of you - I had too many images, and now the DIS deleted all of my comments. Not doing it again

I do a Highlight & Copy of EACH one of my posts before hitting the submit button. It has become an automatic habit. I even do this with emails I am sending, even if the email program saves a copy.

This way, if there is a problem, I just have to hit the Paste button and all the info is there again. Between computer problems, faulty internet or web page problems, it has been a fail safe that has saved many, many posts I spent way to much time typing out. This way, the ONLY times I have had problems is when I forget to copy my post and lost all the info.

Oh, is that the excuse you give?
I always thought it's because you went on another bacon run then forgot about the TR. . .
