Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[MaryAnnDVC]

I have yet to hear who comes back. I don't watch much TV (except for the stupid Bachelor ) but I am online quite frequently and have not seen any spoilers. It wouldn't ruin it for me because I really don't care about any of these people but I think part of the fun is watching each episode as they play out. I think it's fair to discuss the show after it's been aired, anything before then should be on a spoiler thread. I don't know what is hard about that anyway, seems a silly thing to argue about. Especially since we've been having so much fun snarking.

I read posts like this and wonder why anyone can't understand it. It's so SIMPLE, it's basic respect and consideration. And if one is really eager to be "The One" to tell what was said on GMA, then post the link. Voila!

We should be able to talk about this preview, who it is, why we might guess that they are there, and what might then happen....

People HAVE talked about who they THINK it might be, why she is there, and what might happen next. WITHOUT the spoiler.

Why is it so hard for you to grasp this simple fact. If it hasn't aired on the show, we don't want to talk about it here. How could it get any easier then that?

Looks like the spoiler talk continues! It really doesn't phase me too much, though again, my preference is for this to be non-spoiler. Honestly, this is the most fun I have on any thread on the Disboards. Let's keep it fun ladies!

So, let's get things back on track...

Here's Emily's take on being eliminated:

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20571313,00.html

Her take on Ben is sooooo spot on! Everything we were saying, she reiterated...the way he disrespected her when she spoke to him about Courtney, how he basically threatened her with his "tread carefully" remark and how she's lost respect for him while watching the season play out. Clearly Courtney is in it to win it...winning! I don't think it matters who the bachelor is, anyone would do so long as she gets her fifteen minutes.

Thanks for the link! I loved Emily. Which is amazing, since she rapped. Not a fan of rapping, but she was funny and cute about it.

Ok, ok, ok. I'm going to go ahead and "spoil" the GMA clip for you all. Ready?

The woman who comes back to see Ben at his hotel is.....

His mom. There. I said it! It's his mom who was rocking those skinny jeans and heels! She comes to tell him that she didn't raise a pig so stop acting like one, you idiot.

LOL That would be awesome.

Not sure I posted this before, or if anyone else did, but when Ben was at Courtney's family's house, and her sister brought up the skinny dipping incident, did someone in the family say that the father skinny dipped in their pool? I get the feeling that her family feel nothing but pride for Courtney and her free-spirited behavior, and that maybe she'll get opportunities out of this!

Didn't Courtney say she and her family were very open minded about nudity? I thought I remember her saying that at one point. Maybe the family are nudists?

WARNING:: DO NOT READ THE NEXT FEW PAGES IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO THE VISITOR NEXT WEEK IS. THERE IS A SPOILER IN THE POST DIRECTLY BELOW MINE.

His mom!!!!

Anyhow, we HAVE been respectful...
Nobody has said anything!
I just think that it is too much to ask... It is just not a 'spoiler'....
It HAS been aired, by the show, on the network.

But, if we can agree on anything, we can all agree to stop beating a dead horse. I do think that somebody should post a poll, are previews, as aired by ABC, 'spoilers' or not....

I do know who it is...
And, I believe I even know why they are there, and then what happens!!!
For those who can follow this, I am remembering a clip from some previews a few weeks ago, and realize that we never saw that particular person say/do that on the show, YET.... So, even without looking at real spoilers, I think I know what is going to go down....

We'll all have to watch this train-wreck Monday night to find out!

 

[violetrose]

Warning! Don't read the next couple of pages unless you want spoilers about who visits Ben!

Well not to beat a dead horse but didn't you just sort of spoil it? If the person was on clips from a few weeks ago I guess it isn't Ashley. That is who I assumed it would be.

Oh well. Not the end of the world but I don't get why you have this burning need to discuss what has happened before it has aired on the show. The show being the one that airs on Monday night.

And we pretty much moved on, yet she has to bring it back up. I have a feeling that somehow the winner is going to be 'accidentally' revealed here.

Anyways, love the mom comment. You could be on to something.
And it was Courtney who spilled the beans about her dad skinny dipping. I thought the parents seemed a bit off, so I'm not surprised. The sister seemed normal though.

Silly, it's Ben's mom! I posted a spoiler of my own!

I actually thought it might be Ashley too, then I even thought maybe Shawntel again. But we'll have to wait and see what Monday night brings I suppose! Whoever it is, I wonder what it is they have to say to him. Something about Skanktney perhaps (that's Courtney's righful name).

Maybe it's the Grandma who was at the first cocktail party.

What? I can't follow your post. But....IF we've been 'respectful' towards Ben then we need to work a little harder at disparaging him, lol!!! This certainly has been cheap and tawdry entertainment-the show, that is.

I'd love it if that were true! Heck maybe it is! And that girl (Brittany I think?) was the smartest one, she left of her own accord. Smart gal.

Like a kid with really big news who wants to be the first to tell.

And we pretty much moved on, yet she has to bring it back up. I have a feeling that somehow the winner is going to be 'accidentally' revealed here.

Over the seemingly many hundreds of years I've been on the DIS, I've seen it many times...people who have their say (again) and then call for not beating a dead horse or for a thread to be closed. In other words, "I get to say what I want to say, but don't you say anymore." And I agree...someone is going to give it away, somehow, and be all up in arms because they didn't say the actual name.

That would be a riot if Grandma came back! Hey...maybe she'll be on "The Women Tell All"! Wouldn't you love to know what Grandma has to say NOW about the guy she was trying to hook her granddaughter up with?

Phorsenuf, you're going to be a grandma?!

I am! I am so excited. He's due March 18th. I'll be heading up north about a week before in anticipation, unless she goes early and then I will have to scurry up quickly. She did ask me to be in the delivery room with them. I can't wait!

I would love to see Grandma's thoughts on this season. She strikes me as quite sassy!

Congratulations!!! I have a 3 month old granddaughter. She's such an incredible joy. Grandchildren are the best.

My granddaughter was 9 days early. They sent DD to the hospital to be induced because of low amniotic fluid, and when she got there, she was already in labor! Still, it was taking a while; DSIL went home to let the dog out, and barely made it back in time because things suddenly speeded up. I got there about 2 hours after she was born. Have been ever since.

No, the person that goes to see Ben is Chris Harrison in drag! There, I said it. Too bad for all you bully haters! I said it first, I said it first. Neener neener. Winning!

All along Chris has lusted over that extra greasy spot on the top of Ben's neanderthal head. He wrung his hands and gnashed his teeth over the decision to warn him of Courtney's addiction to botox in her upper lip and her constant deliveries of STD antibiotics. Finally, last week as he stared longingly at the last rose, just wishing Ben would turn to him and offer it, Chris knew what had to be done. He shopped for the perfect Bachelorette outfit, picked out a size 12 pair of pumps and headed up to Ben's suite....

You know she's been itching to. Glad I didn't read her whole post. As soon as she alluded to getting ready to say it, I had a feeling she was going to be passive-aggressive & sneak it in. I skipped the rest of the post.

Maybe Violetrose, who has the post right above hers, will post a big spoiler warning so that the rest who haven't checked in yet, will know to skip over her post.

And we pretty much moved on, yet she has to bring it back up. I have a feeling that somehow the winner is going to be 'accidentally' revealed here.

Then maybe its time for the Ignore button. And if no one quotes the spoilers, we won't have to worry.

Maybe it's the Grandma who was at the first cocktail party.

That would be awesome!

I bet she'd knock some sense & sensibilities into Ben!

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

There are 4 posts on the spoiler thread since December, including the bump. I'm guessing most people don't want spoilers.

I knew it!!! I thought something funny was going on last week when he sat down with Ben. Chris had such an odd expression on his face. . . Well, he always has an odd expression on his face. . . I just thought there was something extra odd about Chris that nite.

You know, there was an extra oomph to his knock on Ben's door when he brought Casey up to his room a couple weeks ago. And I thought it was strange when he was yelling at the girls, "Open up!" Maybe he was really wanting to yell, "Come out of the closet!!!"

Kimmar hasn't been around the last few days. I wonder if she's at some Bacon Festival?
