Not nice to insult the fish.

and really Courtney is not pretty, her face is always shily and oily on tv, the hair parted down the middle all scraggly...many of the other girls are much prettier than her...ever her voice is annoying.

I've thougt that too!! Now I'm certainly no beauty queen but I don't get all her airs about being so gorgeous. She's not a bad looking girl but she's not Heidi Klum.

Of course her ugly personality also makes her less attractive, IMO.

The NEXT Bachelor!!

Hey, it cannot be worse than this season's one!!

I loved when Emily said he was not the kind of man she'd want to be with. It shows HER character.

As for Nicky and the other girl who hit on him so unabashedly, I get the feeling the producers GAVE them those words to say.

Courtney is a actress... and a bad one at that... all that blinking of the eyes before manufacturing a tear That crap WORKS WONDERS ON DUMB MEN but sorry, it doesn't work on smart women.

I do wish we lived near each other, so we could have a Finale Viewing Party. I'm going to feel weird yelling at the TV by myself.

I'll be watching & posting to this thread, though! Darn Ben, Courtney & their shenanigans have dragged me back in.

I hope they fix the DIS by then. Last nite was excruciatingly S.L.O.W.. Then it sped back up right at the end of the show.

Maybe we can all bombard the Tech Forum to fix the board by next Monday nite. They could shut down other boards for 2 hours, or whatever, to speed this one up.

...that's why I didn't go on - plus, I was watching The Voice live, and then I watched the taped version of The Bachelor....I SOOOOO love FF!

I wonder of Courtney's skan...er I mean skinny dipping has changed the face of The Bachelor forever? Not so much the Bachelorette, but the Bachelor. Now the bar is raised. The horizontal cha-cha will be expected by the Bachelors and some of the girls might feel pressure to pony up or get the boot. Pretty soon the girls will have to wear pasties and thongs to the first night, just to get a chance to talk to the Bachelor.

I dunno...

I think the skinny dipping was a desparate attempt to get ratings and buzz for the most UNDENIABLY worse Bachelor season of all time. And it worked, at least the BUZZ part did.

If they had a hot cast worth watching and worth cheering for they wouldn't have to dig down to the bottom of the barrel for excitement.

I have always wondered who thought up the concept for this show and did they wing it the first season, working out details as they went along, like how much wine and champagne will be enough, the one on one dates, group dates, oops we need more alcohol and death defying stunts and yet again more alcohol is needed etc. Did they watch how things were going and then decide to try and see what would happen if they offered the "suite that you can share as a couple" and then when some of the girls said yes, did the executives look at each other and say "wow these girls are more desperate than we thought"

I would love to have a producers tell all episode just so they can be asked if this is how they would like their daughters or sisters to be exploited.

There was a show where they talked to the producer!!! It was a short 20/20 thing I think. He was a real low key boring looking, monotone sounding guy. He got the idea from that millionaire bachelor show where a nurse married a really creepy guy. He admitted to the alcohol, casting the crazies, the extreme sports dating, anything for entertainment sake, etc. He seemed to have the attitude like, can you believe it, it's so easy to get them to behave like this, and who doesn't want to watch all the fun, and then if there happens to be real romance, even better. They also interviewed the girl who Jason dumped for Molly afterwards and she explained how she got wrapped up in the whole psycho desperate wanting to win thing...if all these other girls think he's Mr. Wonderful, but he likes me more, then I have to have him! She said she wouldn't have dated Jason in the real world. I also heard somewhere, maybe this show, that there's no tv, they're not allowed to read, no outside contact, so all they do is think about and talk about the bachelor and themselves which is the perfect environment for unhealthy obsessing. I'll try to find the interviews.

Sounds like a concentration camp. With Ben as the prize to get out for a while. No wonder some of them are willing to go bungee jumping and cliff rappelling, they are hoping the cord will snap so they can run away!

My DD said the same thing. Before Courtney started getting all the air time, the focus was on Blakely and she is just your run of the mill mean girl. They realized Blakely wasn't nasty enough and started playing up Courtney, only then did the show get more interesting for people. I think the producers must have realized pretty early on that Ben was not going to be able to carry a show, nor were any of the girls interesting enough to carry it for him. They had to create "the most evil contestant ever" in order to make people watch. Because let's face it, who really would have stuck it out until the end without Courtney? I know I would not have. I cannot stand to look at Ben at this point and do not even get me started when he starts kissing on those girls. He is the nastiest kisser in Bachelor history, and that includes Blob. I really didn't think anyone could get worse than him but Ben makes Blob look like Casanova.

Yes I think many of these girls revert back to their beauty paegent or cheerleading squad days. It becomes more about having to win than having real feelings for the guy. The exception this season seems to be Kacie, and maybe Nicki. Kacie especially seemed like she was really in love with him, or infatuated at the very least.

As I was watching the former bachelors/bachelorettes trash it up at that bar, it made me wonder how many of the men and women who have been on the show go on to marry. Are their chances at real love better or worse than the average person? Is there a Bachelor curse? It would be interesting to do a study and see. So many of them seemed more interested in getting their faces on TV. Michelle Money saying she'd love to go on Bachelor Pad again... really? You haven't had enough screen time?
Kasey (of Kasey and Vienna fame) tongue kissing that girl made me sick, for real. I don't think I've ever seen that much of my own tongue.
