Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[Kimberle]

I know THIS will shock NO ONE:

From TV by the Numbers:



If CBS was smart they'd eliminate 4 to 5 girls a week to shorten this season. It's a bomb.

It's already completely filmed.

Dose anyone else think that if Ben met most of these girls outside the show, they wouldn't give him the time of day?

I read he briefly dated Jennifer Love Hewitt after The Bachelorette (she persued him), but he decided to end it because he wanted to accept the offer to be the Bachelor.

....CBS?? It's on ABC here....

Ooops, I knew it was ONE of the networks I never watch!!

Oh yeah, I remember him telling everyone ... as they all do... that he's happy and in love....

I don't think Courtney or Blake would answer him if he asked for the time.

....and I used to be engaged to Hugh Jackman - he persued me relentlessly after my appearance on The Price is Right.......probably was only after my Ford Fiesta and my year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat....

I wonder which one is stupider??? Her, for thinking he's attractive? Or him, for ending it with her?

 

[Robinrs]

I just thought of who Ben reminds me of!! If you've ever seen the live movie of the Grinch, Ben looks like he belongs in Whoville! He has the same facial structure of everyone from that movie!

Wait, Ben is a WHO????:

more like a WHAT....

Hey, that was MY dream!!!!

[YOU won a Ford Fiesta, TOO???]

I think it's true. It was reported in lots of places, not just one or two gossip rags.

Now you've all gone over the top.
How could you guys be so incredibly mean like that???



















To a cute little Who in Whoville?
What are you all? Grinches?

So I just finished watching last nights episode ( There's 44 minutes of my life wasted ) Could not stand Ben's kissing noises/smacks, the sob queens, Blakely's 24 inch earrings in every scene ( bet the girls would like to wrap those around her neck) I did like the red-head and the first impression rose girl. The red head reminds me of the actress Amber Tamblyn (only prettier). Ben , honestly...take a cold shower you are creepin' me out.

I watched tonight online and was commenting as I went along, but somehow I lost my post.

1. First one on one with Kacie B was so sweet. I actually cried when Ben was watching his dad at the movie.

2. Liked Blakely at first, then not so much. What was the fake meltdown in the suitcase corner - just another ploy for attention - certainly no tears - and did Ben really fall for that?

3. I can't remember her name, but "I'm not a girl" is a freak. Good thing he sent her home - I think she is unbalanced, not just acting, like Michelle Money.

4. Oh and the worst for me is Courtney! She complains about everyone and she is so mean and conceited. Of course he likes her - the theme for every Bachelor series lately. Is she really a model? She looks like a wanna be to me. And too much collagen goin on for sure!

I'm excited to see what they do in SF next week!

The Who-guy is better looking than Ben. Why oh why didn't ABC insist he do something with that lank patch of seaweed on his head.

You ladies really make me wish I didn't have a job! I've missed too much good discussion.

I gave it a second look last night and I did manage to stay awake, but barely. Glad I did though because wow, I would have otherwised missed Keith Richards' meltdown! What the heck was that? That girl is what my DD would call a "hot mess". Do you really think she is a plant RobinRS? I do think many of these girls are but her, unfortunately I think is real. I've known too many girls like her over my life. If she is an actress, she's a good one.

Blakely/Courtney both obviously in it for the money and fame. They are interchangable to me, except for the fact that Blakely looks about 50 and Courtney is the homliest model I've ever seen. Sorry I have to call it like I see it there. The Bachelor has really sunk low this year, they gave us all this drama and none of it is even eye candy?

I do think the blonde with bangs (Rachel?) is gorgeous, and seems normal. Kaci B I think is potentiallly normal but has to stop the giggling. The way she was carrying on with him at the piano laughing was just ridiculous and a big turn off. Later in the date though I did see chemistry. She seems like she is a nice girl....maybe nervous?

The rest of them are all a mess to some degree. The girl with the bad red henna hair seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown if she doesn't get Ben-time, and the long blonde horsey face girl who said Blakely looks like a horse needs to take a good long look in the mirror. She reminds me a bit of the nut that was on Bachelor Pad last season, the one with the tiara.

ETA: How gloomy was it when Ben was walking room to room with all the wailing women? Blakely hiding in the corner, worst acting ever in Bachelor history. I couldn't feel sorry for that girl if my life depended on it and neither apparently could Ben.

Am I the only one who thinks she is downright ugly!!!!!

And, the whole overbite - speak using the upper lip thing.

EWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Ben also mentioned his 'earlier days' of traveling and partying....
Inside, I think the real Ben-the-cad is going to come out.
He honestly does NOT know how how ugly and boring he is.

And, being 'The Bachelor' on this show is DEF starting to stroke his male ego.

Could it really be that he marries a girl for looks, (model, trophy bride) and then becomes the ugly, boorish, wine-snobbish, self-absorbed, male.

I couldn't stand Courtney either. What's with the baby talk voice?

 

[KiKi Mouse]

Is the blonde girl with the bangs named Monica? She hasn't been given much face time or Ben time yet.

I was watching the show on the PVR when DD13 walked into the room and immediately became grossed out and made the funniest face. I asked her why and she said "his hair!". I didn't have to say a word.
