Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[violetrose]

Hopscotching to get the rose. Cute.

Too funny. I thought they did background checks on these people? That girl is off the charts odd.

I don't think her background is the problem.

 

[violetrose]

I don't think her background is the problem.

Seriously though, between the facial tics, the constant touching of her hair and head, the "kill shots" and "winning", the hopscotching to get a rose, teh baby voices - there is some sort of disorder there. I noticed it the very first show. Probably Ben did too and is somehow impressed with it which just shows how creepy he really is.

I agree with you (was it you?) who said Emily is insecure and a bit neurotic. That made her likeable and real to me though. She would be my choice if I were choosing for my son, she seemed the most authentic of the girls this season.

I bet even the NYC blogger realizes that she dodged a bullet. I can't wait for the episode where all the girls talk about what went on and trash the guy or eachother.

I completely agree, there is something off about her. I can't put my finger on it though but she it socially awkward and her mannerisms are just so odd. Her preoccupation with "winning" is strange too. The fact that Ben caters to that "poor wittle me, I'm losing that woving feeling" is truly pathetic.

I liked Emily as well. Her insecurities were well founded though. She was smart enough and astute enough to interpret Courtney's behavior correctly. If a man I was interested in kept choosing Courtney, well, heck that would make me feel insecure too, especially if I took the trouble to warn the idiot and then was shut down like a nuclear power plant during an earthquake.

Predicition...Emily will be the next Bachelorette.

She either has some sort of social disorder, or she is high on prescription drugs or cocaine. Something about her eyes and the way her mouth is always moving and the constant fidgeting and pointing makes me think the latter. She has that crazed druggie look about her.

I just want to know overall what is wrong with her face! Does ABC have a botox guy on set? Because nothing but her mouth and her eyes move. The excited face is the same as the disappointed face. It was really irking me last night.

Does Courtney even own a bra?

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Does Courtney even own a bra?

No, but she does have beads.

Oh wait, she DOES own a bra! She took it off when she went skinny dipping with Ben. Probably the only time she's worn one the whole season and it didn't get worn all that long (much to Ben's pleasure I'm sure!)

I think it's very unattractive the way her chi-chi's are constantly bulging out the sides of everything she wears. It's like two rubber balls hanging in a pair of droopy socks. Girl, give those things some support for crying out loud!

That's right! Maybe we should give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was taken away by a rogue wave and swept out to sea.

I agree. Her eyes always look crazed and wide. Does she ever blink? Her fidgeting is very distracting, it's like watching a three year old try to sit still.

 

[snapppyd]

He creeps me out so much, he looks like something from Planet of the Apes - what is WRONG with these girls???

 

[KAMLEM]

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

Who is Brittney?

 

[Lehuaann]

Bwahahaha!!!

Who is Brittney?

I think she meant Courtney. Brittany wasn't feeling the spark and voluntarily left. Uber smart chick.

Ben is such a jerk and is being played so well by Courtney. Evidently she was good in the ....water..and that is all he can think about.

And honestly he couldnt even walk Rachel and Emily out? They were one of the last 6 and he couldnt do that? What a bigger jerk

Anyone leaving is so much better off. This guy deserves Courtney

 

[snapppyd]

Crap!!! I was watching it on Hulu, paused the last ten minutes to take a shower and it didn't stay paused - I MISSED THE ENDING!

I Agree. To me, it shows a lack of class...especially after facing your fears and going shark diving with the guy. He should have shown more respect for their experience and what they gave up to be there with HIM!! I can't wait for the end of the show reunion. That should be good entertainment.

I agree. I can't remember ever seeing another bachelor that is a bigger social idiot than Ben. I noticed that he doesn't feel bad when he sends someone home, and he seems almost cold when he says his brief goodbyes to the women. At least guys like Brad and Jake semed apologetic when they said goodbye to the women.

Maybe Ben is a sociopath and that's why he's remained single so long. Something just seems "off" with him.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I think he's just socially awkward and can't think of anything to say - I mean the whole show has just been ... "Well, yup. Here. We. Are, This. Is. Nice,"
