Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[Wishing on a star]

Me again,

Yes, I believe that I may have been the first here to call Ben out for the nasty, narcissistic, pig that he is, in the early posts here.

The thing that gets me, even more than his blatant choice of Courtney... is the way that when woman have been sent home, he gets this blank, icy, look over his face... and it's like, 'I think it's time your outa here'. This week was just the latest of several examples of this.

That blank, icy, facade.... Scarey!!!!!

Can you imagine if you were one of these poor young deluded girls, and you did end up with him, and THAT is what you faced with any issue or disagreement. OMG!

I say he picks Courtney, they deserve each other, and when the cameras go away, it gets SCAREY UGLY.

Uglier than Jake with Vienna, or any of the other narcissitic, warped, bachelors that we have seen in the past.

That was so funny! And they had the nerve to throw her in a mini van no less. The harlot got dragged off the show and they couldn't even spring for shoes or a limo.

I guess no limos for when the girl is found to be defrauding the show. You could tell that there pretty much was nothing she could say to Chris to stay on the show. <shouting> "YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH HIM, RIGHT??? JUST SAY IT, YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH HIM."

And what's with him shouting at the girls, "BEN SAID, OPEN UP!!!"

. . . umm, actually Casey S's problem was that she didn't have closure from her last relationship.

OMG, I noticed it too. It's almost to a sociopathic level, no regard for the girl at all.

What's with the Bachelor picking men with anger issues? Jake, Brad & now Ben. Who PICKS these guys?

...If Ben couldn't catch something, what were they all going to do? Starve all day? ....

...I prefer to think of it as 'selective dieting'....

I don't know, but I wish they would PLEASE pick someone totally new! I mean, they find new people to be part of the 25.

 

[kimmar067]

Inquiring minds want to know, where did they pee? (Or poo)

The producers must really think "we" are quite stupid. Just like when Chris threw blondie (don't remember her name) in the cab with NO SHOES! Like she's just going right to the airport, no shoes, no passport, no bag.

...nahhhh, they just drove around the block...

 

[kimmar067]

I've been reading along with you guys but since y'all have voiced everything I've been thinking, I haven't chimed in yet. But I gotta say, this guy is seriously creepy! I'm not even sure I'm going to be able to make it through this season. I walk away from every episode feeling like I need a scalding hot shower. ....

...and a steel wool pad.

ok...I just have to share this comment the DD of a friend of mine said.
My friend and I were talking about how as boring and insecure Ashley was, she had brains at the end to pass on Ben, but how could she have kept him that long as it was, when her DD came in and said:
"That freak who's the Bachelor? If he's all that it's time to bat for the other team"...lol....I am still giggling over it.

It is getting to be like a virus, because they are finding men and women with problems, then putting them through a stressful situation and then dangling the carrot in front of them yet again.

I think Ben would be an emotional bully for sure, and now he's attracted to a sick person with a strong personality - scarey!

 

[violetrose]

I knew Ben had anger issues in Ashley's season. If you remember, he was seething mad at Ryan almost from the start. While Ryan was a little annoying with always being peppy, I thought it odd that this other man took such an attitude with him. I am not surprised he is like he is on this season.

And whoever said he has cold hard eyes is so right. Those eyes are steely. He's creepy beyond belief.

Ok, I have never watched The Bachelor, ever. I got a kick out of reading the last couple of pages of this thread.

Barbara Walters talked about the show this morning and peaked my interest, but not in a good way

I'm watching the last episode on HULU right now and I have to say this is the worst crap I have ever seen

It's so bad I can't look away!

eta: Courtney is being such a slut!

 

[MELSMICE]

eta: Courtney is being such a slut!

I've watched every season, with the exception of Season #1 & she is by far one of the sluttiest girls I've seen.

DD's & I watched last night & said that Ben is a real loser & has just about as much class as Courtney does as he falls for all her crap & thinks it's great that she flaunts her body all over the place.

Of course, like one of my DD's said........what guy wouldn't fall for that BS!

I don't find anything attractive about him at all, I don't get it

 

[robinb]

I liked him last season. He had a cute puppy dog kind of personality about him as he wooed Ashley. Now that he doesn't have to impress anyone and he's in control, he seems to have developed a strong mean streak. I do think that he could be physically attractive is he cut his hair and stopped dressing so frumpy (I'm blanking on the male equivalent to "frumpy", LOL).

 

[snapppyd]

I cringe watching these attractive women act so stupid around this guy. They should have no problem getting a date and they are embarrassing themselves over this loser?

Yep, this show has the strangest train wreck effect on me. Each season I proclaim it the "worst show ever', yet there I am on the couch tuned in.

I pray he picks Courtney so that the train wreck can be complete.

 

[FINFAN]

Do you guys remember in the beginning when Ben's sister said she can't wait for him to find love so they can go on double dates? Wonder if she cares to join in on the "dates" Ben and Courtney have! They need to join a nudist colony..or the porn industry

 

[Wishing on a star]

He had a cute puppy dog kind of personality about him as he wooed Ashley..

That's just it.
That is what is so downright scary....

Anyone with any intuition and savvy can, and has, seen right thru that.
But, many people can't/don't.

That cold hard icy facade, with those eyes... behind that consummate and all encompassing 'puppy dog' facade... That is what is so sociopathic and scary!!!

When Ashley sent Ben home, and his famous last words... about not ending well... Man, that could almost come off as a threat.

NOTHING that he has done has shown any regard for the other human beings and their feelings.

When the one girl confronted him about Courtney, and he got that cold, hard, icy, look, cut her right off at the knees, and started DARING her to continue, and throwing accusations at HER. Yes... Scary.. VERY Scary.

There are SO many women who can't or don't see this in a man.
But, it jumps straight out at me, crystal clear.

Remember, like one poster just said, Jake Pavelko knows just how to play a room, and he, too, came off as such a benign 'affable' character.
He, too, chose the 'courtney' of his season. Remember how Vienna also, just like Courtney, bared it all and created secret naked encounters.
The real truth is there for those who want to look and see it!
