Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[Magic Mom]

aaww poor Kacie. Hopefully she will feel relief and realize what she was spared when she watches the season.

 

[phorsenuf]

She's going to be watching this episode tonight and breathing a big sigh of relief.

I was trying to see if Courtney had the ring on but I couldn't tell.

 

[ebtbmom]

Wow I'm shOcked! He probably realized that he could never live up to her family's moral code.

 

[robinb]

Whoops! Courtney told her sister about the skinny dipping.

 

[Dee77]

I thought there was something about Courtney's sister that reminded me of Khloe Kardashian and then when she said the thing about the skinny dipping in front of their parents I was certain she is soooo like Khloe. Eww the whole family is gross!

I know! Classy move, telling the parents about your sister's skinny dipping escapades with the guy she did it with right there too! Ugh. My dad would've probably kicked Ben's patootie to the curb before that toast was even finished.

My guess is that her family already knows what an adorable skank biscuit she is.

 

[lucas]

WTH is wrong with his hair!!!!?

You cracked me up!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I'm going to vent, then I'll go back and see your vents

I think Lindzy would be the best real match for Ben - personality and lifestyle - but he won't pick her because she is too real, and she isn't a dominatrix. AND she didn't go skinny dipping. I really like her parents!

Kacie B - I think you can see that she knows the spark is gone, but she's in love with love - pisses me off that he can't even say anything to her when she leaves, just looks at her like a stupid monkey. She deserves so much better - which she wasn't so heart broken.
"What is it???" Ummm, you didn't run around naked in Puerto Rico with him.

Nikki - I think Ben is entertained by her, but not really that in to her. I think she is "ready for love" but I'm not sure she really knows what she wants.

Courtney - No class, No pride - she didn't have to be a B, because no one cared. Oh the wedding. She had to stage that in order to tell him how she feels???? She had to put on a play and play the part. And of course he falls for it. WINNING!!! I still don't see how she's a model. And she had her first "photo shoot" here when she was 17??? Probably to make her own portfolio. Her mom is scarey looking -

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I'm guessing Kacey won't be accepting that bedroom date. Either that or she'll be taking daddy out for dinner when that episode airs.

And that's why she's going home - he doesn't think she'll put out.

Oh he was totally zoning out during that whole conversation!

He's probably realizing her family has some class, and he might not get lucky, and wondering if she would skinny dip.

I really like Nicki's parents. They seem like really good, down to earth people. Ben does seem to be more "into" Nicki than Kacie on the home date.

Looks like Kacie knows what's up in her heart but won't face it.

Aw, Nicki and her parents are so sweet! Which of course means they're way too good for Ben. But regardless, I thought it was strange that while Nicki was pouring her heart out to Ben, he kept shifting his gaze around. Hello! She's telling you she loves you and you're having trouble looking into her eyes? Strange.

He's feeling trapped, I think.

Me too Wine glass in hand, I sit and look at all that is wrong with society today.

I'm DVRing so behind you guys. Will stop back when it's over for me. So far I am with Lyndzi's family - all adorable and way too good for Ben. And I also just have to say I will be SO glad not to see Ben kiss anymore when this trainwreck is finally over. He is the ugliest kisser, worse even than Bachelor Bob. The girls all seem to pull away from that wide open ape mouth coming at them. It just looks so wrong!

This is the creepiest date ever.

It's like the Adam's Family

Wow. This is just too wrong. I'd be pissed if I was one of the other girls and found out about this 'wedding'.

You know she'll show the other girls the ring. WINNING!!!

I'm guessing he'll send Kacie home since he doesn't think she would move in with him before getting married.

Yup. It's like a pre-requisite to get to know each other. How about you get to know someone before you propose??? And why does that mean you have to live together? He should have told her Dad, "well, it will be required for her to act like a skank before I choose her...."

I'm sorry, but Ben is ugly with his horrible hair and honker of a nose. His hair was especially bad with Courtney. All of the parents seem genuine, but Courtney's mom was a bit strange. All of the Bachelor/Bacheloretts families appear to live very comfortable lives with beautiful homes, with the exception of Vienna's folks. I wonder when girls/guys who don't come from this type of family will be chosen as contestants. The powers that be seem to have an elitist mentality.

Wow she is really blubbering, oh and cursing.. Yikes!

She's going to be so embarrassed.

My guess is that her family already knows what an adorable skank biscuit she is.

Yes, they are cut from the same cloth, I think. "Free Spirits- I'll bet they were hippies in Calif. at one time....

 

[violetrose]

Wow. What a trainwreck that was. Well Lyndsie and Nicki were somewhat normal, but the other two....so much to say, so little time.

I was just shocked that while Kacie was telling Ben the story of her grandparents who died within 6 months of each other, poured her heart out and seemed so sincere and sweet and Ben's response was "great!" while looking off in the distance! What a complete tool. I don't blame her Dad a bit for not wanting this guy in his daughter's life. He just has zero personality and zero chemistry with anyone. At least the bachelors in season's past had something going for them, whether it be a good personality or good looks. Ben has neither.

Courtney's mother seemed a bit...drunk maybe? Definately a bit off, with that same stupid baby voice as Courtney. The father seemed creepy too, I can't put my finger on exactly what it was about him, but I felt something off with him and the sister. I had to bust out laughing when Courtney stole Carrie's line from Sex and the City. "I'm looking for love, real love, passionate consuming can't-live-without-you love". Sorry Courtney, you are the farthest thing from Carrie Bradshaw so don't even try.

I felt sorry for Kacie at the end. At least she kept it together in front of Ben, I cannot stomach one more girl crying and him taking pleasure from it. Because you can see he does take pleasure. He gets this superior attitude when it comes time to say goodbye, very odd. I hope they don't pick Kacie as the next bachelorette - I think Emily would be better suited. Kacie needs to move back home and find herself a nice guy who will fall in line with her family's values. I don't think she has the emotional toughness or maturity to be the bachelorette but I am so happy for her sake she dodged the Ben bullet.

 

[emer95]

I have never, ever wanted the bachelor to choose someone I hate until this season. I *SO* hope Courtney "wins" this one. As sad as Kacie was, I was glad for her, knowing she is far better off. Like a PP said, she is way too good for him. I'm sure her parents are thrilled. My parents would have said the exact same thing hers did, and in fact, I feel the same way about my daughters. I'd NEVER want them moving in with some skanky dude, in a different state, when they barely know him, let alone saying yes to a hasty proposal, thrown together because "it's the end of the season."

Courtney's family was exactly the way I pictured they'd be. Scary, skinny-faced mom. Clueless oaf dad. Yeah, that's how I'd react if I found out my daughter skinny-dipped on national television. Oh, Courtney! TMI, you silly little *****!

Please pick Courtney, Ben. Please!!!

 

[shortbun]

I'm actually now totally rooting for Courtney, lol! I t came down exatly as I thought it would last night-even the order of the roses. My husband watched for the first time and thought it was funny that I was talking to the television, "send her home, Ben...throw her back, she's too young. Her Dad asked you to tell her now and not make it worse."

I really liked Lindzie's family. They were fun and light hearted, totally trusting their daughter. Contrast that with Kacie's parents totally expecting to be in control all the way in California and having no respect for their daughter's wishes.

 

[Imzadi]

Even Lindzy's horse has a better haircut than ben.

That's not so hard to do! His hair drives me batty.

At least it was clean for 3 of the dates.

Ok, Kaci has some serious parental issues I think. When she was talking to her sister, she kept saying that she wanted to do what SHE wanted to do. That her dad doesn't take risks but that her parents need to learn to trust her. Makes me think she's doing this out of rebellion.

Kind of like Shawntal trying to get away from her funeral parlor Dad.

Wow. This is just too wrong. I'd be pissed if I was one of the other girls and found out about this 'wedding'.

...oh contraire....he's got - the gift of GRAPE.

...court-NEY, court-NEY, court-NEY.......WINNING.

 

[Imzadi]

And cue the ugly crying and f-bombs. Kaci, dry those tears honey, Ben isn't worth catching anyway.

I felt bad that she was so hurt. I don't feel bad that she dodged a bullet!!!

 

[kimmar067]

I thought there was something about Courtney's sister that reminded me of Khloe Kardashian and then when she said the thing about the skinny dipping in front of their parents I was certain she is soooo like Khloe. Eww the whole family is gross!

...sounds like the perfect fit for Ben Flaccid.

 

[phorsenuf]

Does anyone know how the viewing schedule is for the remaining shows? Next week I assume is the sex test, then the show with all the women that dodged the bullet and then the most dramatic proposal in Bachelor history? Is that how it would go?

 

[kimmar067]

Kind of like Shawntal trying to get away from her funeral parlor Dad.

...OMG, you're SO RIGHT!
