Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[Lehuaann]

Hopscotching to get the rose. Cute.

 

[Magic Mom]

Poor Emily. At least by now she has seen what a creep he really is.

 

[Poohbug]

Oh, thank God that Emily did not get a rose. She deserves so much better-you will get it girl.

I hope Ben ends up with Brittney-think of all the awkward fights that will be broadcast when they break up.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

It's a windowto the future with him.

"Babe! Babe! Why don't you give birth in the gorilla enclosure at the zoo?!?!It's edgy and if our baby can conquer that it can conquer anything! Now make that pouty mouth face for me again!"

Seriously hilarious! Who the heck lives like that or freaking dates like that!

Oh, shocker, he picked the one chick who puts out...Courtney. I despise this season.

Emily, don't waste those tears on him. If you're watching the season, then you KNOW he did you a favor. A huge favor.

 

[Jeafl]

Is he blind, stupid or both??

Thet deserve each other. He is not thinking with the correct part of his anatomy.

 

[rentayenta]

I am throwing up in my mouth as I type.

 

[shortbun]

I think Ben SHOULD choose Courtney. He deserves her. Did anyone see that his hair was clean on his hometown date with her? I think she's the one. After all, she IS 'the talent!"

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Is everyone ready for this week's installment of "The Courtney Show"?? I'm really tired of her.

I am sick of "Skanks are us" for sure

I think at 28, (which is like, 98 in model years) Pugney is on an all out blitze to get as much *exposure* as she can before she is toast in her "career". While I bailed on watching the show, it is fun to see the posts you guys have..I did see the rag-mag covers at the grocery stores...I found it to be a good diet aid, those images.

Wait! She is THE TALENT you know. Everything should revolve around her and all of these other girls are beneath her.

I hope Courtney does get to bring Ben home to meet her family. I want to see what they are like. I'm sure they will be proud of her when they see this show.

I bet they are as wierd as she is Her mom will probablly give a reading or something

I think Ben/Em had some chemistry going on between them with the dancing and him telling her 'come here' prior to kissing...

I feel bad that she had this magical caribbean day and then he just dumped her because Courtney wanted him to. He's such a wimp

I CAN'T believe he is groveling to Courtney after she just told him she lost the spark and doesn't want to take him home


...and yes, Ben if you want weird, pick Courtney. You would hit the weird jackpot.

I know. If any of the girls said it he would send them home right away. She is making him look like such a fool.

"I'm losing the spark" = fawn over me or you won't get laid again.

Yup he's such a I'm guessing he feels like odd man out with his mom and sister, and he's been trying to please them since he was little...

You cöuld just see the "snarkyness" in her face when she's telling him she is loosing the feeling!! Then she sips the wine. OMG! If he picked her then he deserves her and everything he gets!!!!!

Yeah, the "I'm playing you" look. And he doesn't see any of it.

.....did she just say, "I'm the talent"???

Yes. Yes she did - and he's so impressed.

Ben see's it, but doesn't want to keep pushing the issue because she's getting defensive? Hmmmmmm.

No, he doesn't want to make her mad in case she wants to go skinny dipping again.

What is up this season with all these crazy "dates" ? Swimming with sharks, jumping into the ocean from a helicopter, jumping into that cave thing?

I am surprised the show is allowing these stupid stunts. Are we suppose to be impressed with this idiot and his dare devil dates?

It cracks me up when the women get all excited about these dates, "oh he's just so exciting and adventurous and is a daredevil...just what I'm looking for." Ummm...I don't think these types of dates are going to occur on a regular basis when you are back in the real world, honey.

They have but usually it's one for the whole season. But Ben's is ridiculous. Every other date is some stupid death defying excursion. And he keeps saying that if they can conquer that, then they can conquer anything. It's just so idiotic. If I was one of those girls and had a serious phobia of sharks or heights, I'd respect him so much more if he said you know what, I don't want to put you in such a stressful situation, let's go have dinner instead! He's an idiot though and it's clear he doesn't have any of these women's best interest at heart.

Ah, I see. Yeah, the stunts this season are more than usual.

...the girls go on death defying dates and Courtney goes skinny-dipping.

It's a windowto the future with him.

"Babe! Babe! Why don't you give birth in the gorilla enclosure at the zoo?!?!It's edgy and if our baby can conquer that it can conquer anything! Now make that pouty mouth face for me again!"

Oh, he can look like the big man - hold them while they are terrified. I think the adrenaline is kind of an aphrodisiac or something.

Hopscotching to get the rose. Cute.

What a stupid man! She acts like such a wicked witch, and then puts on the little girl act just to keep him on her string

Seriously hilarious! Who the heck lives like that or freaking dates like that!

Oh, shocker, he picked the one chick who puts out...Courtney. I despise this season.

Emily, don't waste those tears on him. If you're watching the season, then you KNOW he did you a favor. A huge favor.

Yup. Same every time - they listen with the wrong part of their body and then get burned. I don't know how come some of these moms can't get through to them and teach them better before they leave for these things.

I think Ben SHOULD choose Courtney. He deserves her. Did anyone see that his hair was clean on his hometown date with her? I think she's the one. After all, she IS 'the talent!"

I didn't notice, but I think he chose Courtney because she made him worry that she was going to dump him, so now he is puppy doggin it back to her home town. Of course she is - she's the TALENT!!!


Great- "Oh mom, can I bring my girlfriend home for the weekend? Of course she'll have her pet tarantula Terry with her, and she needs a place to build a fire for her big black pot,

 

[Dee77]

What was it that Courtney's dad said about marriage- "it's the biggest gamble you take in life" Ugh no, I don't think so, Ben already took his biggest gamble when he went in the water with Courtney skinny dipping, and to think Ben believes it made him a winner.

 

[iheartdisney]

OK. In full disclosure, I watched the two hour episode in about 20 minutes. I just couldn't hang.

1. Ben had more side **** hanging out of his tank top than any of the girls. (edited: Silly DIS filter! Side Ta-Tas doesn't have the same ring to it.)
Dude, ABC is paying you to be the sex object... you couldn't have hit the gym?!?

2. Every line Ben says about Courtney can be ended with Ben saying, "because you f-ed me" in my head. "our connection is deeper" "she finds a way to stand out" blah blah blah.

3. And she kept going on and on and on about how she hasn't had a one on one since forever. Ummm, did you already forget about Puerto Rico? I'm pretty sure that wasn't a group date! Well, the camera guys were there so maybe it was.

4. I was thinking poor Emily, but only for a minute. Because she was crying. Emily, this is the "My hit the guardrail at 70mpg and i walked away without a scratch" of relationships for you!

5. I hope Ben feels like an idiot watching this seeing how Courtney really is, but I don't think he is. Probably he and Shark Fin Shoulderblades are laughing all the way to the bank. Hey I just coined a nickname!
The Adventures of Side **** Dude and Shark Fin Shoulderblades.

 

[darlaya]

Ugggg, finally a place I can voice my frustration and disappointment with this show. I really liked Ben BEFORE this season started. Now, its clear lust not love is on his mind. I can't wait until he watches all the footage from the show. I hope the network gives him the extended footage so he can actually see what a fool he has been made of...and how many genuine women he passed on. It was painful to watch his interaction with Courtney last night. I am down to catching just a few scenes and then changing the channel to watch the Voice...

 

[Kimberle]

I'm so glad no one from this show is the next bachelorette. They focus so much on Courtney, I don't even know the other girls.

Ben is going to feel like a fool when this show is over, if he doesn't already. And no, Ben, you Dad is not proud of you on this show. You're seeking sex from a girl (not woman by any means) who would never give you the time of day in real life. She wants the cover of People, not you.

 

[Imzadi]

Commenting first (while watching,) then will go back & reading what everyone else wrote.

Emily says, "One of my favorite things about Ben is that he's spontaneous, likes to experience life life & have adventures." She she talking about the same Ben we are? Does she not know that all these activities are arranged by the producers? That Ben is a very boring bump on the log and will just sit and watch the grapes grow at home?


OMG, is Courtney a high maintenance psychopath or what?

So the producers expect us to believe that Ben & Emily had to catch their own lobsters for dinner, but somehow, magically, someone ELSE cooked it and prepared the romantic table for them? Like that person couldn't go out to get lobsters for them, too?


Courtney is so friggin manipulative. And Ben is soooo stupid. She knows just how to play him. He's like, "Really??? Yo might not accept the rose? You lost the spark???" I guess he's really into unattainable women, who play hard to get. Sheesh!


Group date:
Someone shouldn't have to swim with sharks to get a rose. I know they aren't man eating sharks but still.

I wouldn't even do it for George Clooney - and that is saying a lot! I'd tell him, if you loved & cared about ME, you'd take into consideration MY feelings & needs.

Well, I knew Ben wasn't going to pick Emily. There was never any chemistry between them. I'm surprised he didn't send her home sooner - like when he told her to tread lightly.

Ironic how Kacie B, said the exact same thing to him about Courtney.

I'm surprised he picked Nicki over Rachel. I think Rachel will be blaming herself over her phobia of sharks, thinking that's what did her in.

 

[Imzadi]

Don't the people on BP get money?

But, models would rather have their faces on the cover of a magazine.

Sigh, what is Ben's preoccupation with daredevil scenarios? "Hey, let's jump into this shark infested water from 1,000 feet above...if you really are into me, then you'll jump." Seriously, what's next, knife throwing?

Ya, it was soooo genuine, wasn't it?? Man, that was some bad acting, who casts these girls?

She's a MODEL, not an actress. Blakely was the actress who could cry on cue and for no apparent reason.

 

[Imzadi]

I hope Courtney does get to bring Ben home to meet her family. I want to see what they are like.

I'm sure they will be proud of her when they see this show.

Or, maybe the nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

I agree. I think Ben has great chemistry with Emily.

I can't believe everyone is saying that. She's kind of neurotic and insecure. I think Ben knew that.

.....did she just say, "I'm the talent"???

That's what the models and actors are called on a production - as opposed to the CREW, they are the TALENT.

Is this the Bachelor or Fear Factor??

I said the exact same thing!

What is up this season with all these crazy "dates" ? Swimming with sharks, jumping into the ocean from a helicopter, jumping into that cave thing?

I am surprised the show is allowing these stupid stunts. Are we suppose to be impressed with this idiot and his dare devil dates?

They had to do that with Brad, 2 seasons ago, too. Anything to encourage the narcissism of the Bachelor.

So they can prove they are worthy to wash his boxers and comb the lard though his hair.

 

[Imzadi]

They've done the daredevil dates on prior seasons as well. I remember them repelling off a building, bungee-jumping, etc on either Brad or Jake's season.

They have but usually it's one for the whole season. But Ben's is ridiculous. Every other date is some stupid death defying excursion. And he keeps saying that if they can conquer that, then they can conquer anything. It's just so idiotic. If I was one of those girls and had a serious phobia of sharks or heights, I'd respect him so much more if he said you know what, I don't want to put you in such a stressful situation, let's go have dinner instead! He's an idiot though and it's clear he doesn't have any of these women's best interest at heart.

Ah, I see. Yeah, the stunts this season are more than usual.

No, there were just as many stunts on Brad's season too, The repelling off a building where Michelle Money freaked out, bungee jumping, cliff diving, race car driving all happened on Brad's season. Chantal swam in a the shark cage his season, too - the day before he dumped her.

Is he blind, stupid or both??

They deserve each other. He is not thinking with the correct part of his anatomy.

I watch The Millionaire Matchmaker, yes, I admit it. And she says, "The pecker is always the picker."

 

[Magic Mom]

Happy Valentines Day to all you Ben haters (especially Kimmar!)

 

[violetrose]

I am just catching up with it now on DVR and I guess it's safe to assume Ben will not chose Kacie in the end since he can't seem to get past calling her Kacie B?

They really pulled out all the stops this season. Courtney is the worst of the worst and this coming from someone who has watched every season of The Bachelor/ette. I bet he picks her in the end though, and he gets what he deserves. What a sniveling boring man he is, thinking with his ego instead of his brain..I'd be disappointed if he chose anyone else but Courtney at this point because all of these other girls are far too good for him.

 

[Imzadi]

Yeah, the "I'm playing you" look. And he doesn't see any of it.

What a stupid man! She acts like such a wicked witch, and then puts on the little girl act just to keep him on her string

I wonder if he gets it NOW that he's watching the show and seeing what she's really saying? Or is she somehow still playing him? "Oh Ben. it was all an act for the camera. I'm the Talent, remember?"

I didn't notice, but I think he chose Courtney because she made him worry that she was going to dump him, so now he is puppy doggin it back to her home town.

I thought the same thing. But, you know, for a controlling, manipulative b****, it was actually a well played strategy. Every other girl is throwing herself at him, and she's holding back, saying she can leave and get someone else. Meanwhile the other girls are all DESPERATE. Which girl comes off as more attractive? The one who self-advertises that she's in demand and can get someone else, or the desperate gals who throw themselves at him, like he is their LAST hope?

 

[Imzadi]

Happy Crispy Valentine's Day everyone!
