Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[MaryAnnDVC]

Lindzi definitely has been practicing her "ABC- I Wanna Be the Next Bachelorette" script. She only wishes them well, she was joking on the side of the mountain when she said that he could call her if things don't work out, she didn't go on the ATFR show because they have enough on their plate etc etc.

She was just about begging on Jimmy Kimmel to be the next (next next) Bachelorette too. This recycled Bachelor/Bachelorette thing is getting really annoying. By the end of a season, like them or not, I'm done with them.

Lindzi's GMA appearance is in few minutes. Her hair is a darker blonde, looks nice, her teeth, WOW,,,blazingly white~ and she maybe should have had decaf this morning I didn't see last nights show, as always, just came here for your guys posts get the scoop, as I was watching the Voice and then Smash.

I think it's that ridiculously overdone spray tan that made her teeth look so white too! Yikes! And I hate the when lips are exactly the same color as one's face...makes those blazingly white teeth sort of explode in the middle of her face.

The DIS was acting up so I wasnt able to join you ladies last night but I caught up today!! I did catch pieces of ATFR - WOW. Those 2 have so little chemistry it's embarrassing.

My fav moment was when Chris said something about the Bachelor being "incredibly tough". WHA!?! Going to war is tough. Losing a child or getting terminally ill is tough. CH annoys me just as much as the contestants.

I agree, and I so can't stand Chris at this point.

There was a cute bit on Jimmy Kimmel last night about an alternate ending where Ben chooses Chris instead: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/video/bachelor-ben-flajnik-has-a-man-crush-15908729

There is more chemistry in that clip than on the ATFR show .

I called Ben and Chris weeks ago! Winning!

If you guys want a laugh, a gal on www.ew.com (Entertainment Weekly) writes a blog for the Bachelor. It's funny & she does a great job.

I copied the following from her post & I couldn't agree more:

"There was never anything wrong with us -- it was wrong with everything that surrounded us," says Ben, as tears escape from his eyes. "That beautiful moment has just been soiled by all of this." (Again with the victim mentality. Listen, you morons: You're already incredibly ill-equipped to sustain a functional romantic relationship, so don't make it harder on yourselves by refusing to acknowledge any responsibility for your actions.)"

Poor Lindzi. She's all thumbs...which is ironic, since Neanderthal Ben isn't evolved enough to have thumbs.

My DH says she has "man hands".

I agree with everyone's comments on this date. Ben knew who he was picking by then. This is painful to watch :/

Ben knew who he was going to pick way early in the show, I think even before the skinny dipping episode. That was just a clincher.

since it's the "most controversial finale in Bachelor history," maybe Ben proposes to Courtney and she turns him down. I just can't believe that Linzi is so clueless and didn't pick up on ANY of his body language. UGH

I think that she knew at the proposal sight before Ben started talking. You could see it in her face.

What a skank-biscuit! Did she really stand in front of the big picture window in her nightie?

OT: I saw Mickey climb the Matterhorn at DL in person. It was really cool!

OT2: Why is the DISBoard so slow again?!?

It's slow today too.

I don't like the ring he picked.

Those rings are too busy for me. Give me a nice, plain band.

What's with the capes?

It must have been a little chilly up there. I liked the capes.

I like Lidzi's dress, but the cape has to go.

I felt the opposite. Thought Lindzi's dress ugly but loved the cape.

LOL...I love the strategically placed plops of snow!

I noticed that too.

What's with her skirt?

That dress did nothing for her figure.

Not always. At least once, and I don't remember who, the "winner" was first.

Piss me off when the Bachelor/Bachelorette gives a promising speech about how wonderful the person is, followed by "but..."

I wish I could remember who the Bachelor was. I do remember the girl he chose watching him turn down the other girl from a window up on the second floor.

I can't believe she just said "if things don't work out, call me". No thanks!!!

I can't believe she said that either. Bet she got some grief over that from her friends.

If she ever went back to him after watching this season, she gets no sympathy from me. That's just such a sad and pathetic line too, as if the only thing she has going for her is to wait for him to come back. UGH!That must be what they mean by "the most dramatic rose ceremony EVER!" LOL

The rose ceremony was far from dramatic. It was just plain dull.

I can handle what is coming up next because they deserve each other! Oooh yay just saw the commercial for Emily's season, can't wait

I am so totally not interested in watching Emily being the Bachelorette.

She looks like a goth queen! Leather gloves??? ICK. I can't stand to hear him talking to her

I loved Courtney's cape and dress but she should have taken off the gloves when she took off her cape.

I think they will last a while, because he is just that stupid.

Yep!

I bet Ben's sister is thinking she should've followed her first instincts about Courtney

She's supposed to be a good judge of character. She said so herself.

Here's another pearl from our boy Ben, courtesy of an article from People.com:

"There was never anything wrong with us," Ben said. "What's wrong was everything that surrounded us."

I need the "face in hands, shaking head" smilie.

He said that last night too. Yeah Ben, it's the world's fault that you and Courtney chose to make complete idiots out of your self for the whole country to see every Monday night.

LOL! I really can't figure out how Chris delivers some of those line without breaking out into laughter.

 

[kimmar067]

Lindzi seemed so happy and bubbly last night. I think she realized what a bullet she dodged! BTW, I take back everything I was thinking about her mother naming her something stoopid like "Lindzi". Lindzi herself added the "z" .

.... ........ ...oh, so her real name is Lindi....

 

[kimmar067]

Well, that's not entirely fair Kimmar...at least Courtney loves animals....

....who cares about 'fair'? After all, it's about "WINNING!"

 

[3prettyprincesses]

It's so easy to understand...Ben is a pig and enjoyed his time on the show because he was able to suck face with various women AND it fed his egocentric personality (all those women vying for HIM!)

Courtney was the unattainable model. She wasn't tripping over herself to show Ben he was all that. Her game was to play the injured card, make HIM want HER. Time and again she'd tell him she was scared or worried that she'd be going home...blah blah blah! And well, the skinny dipping just sealed the deal. Well, that and her swinging her bare chi chi's around at that tribal council.

Now, the season has aired and Ben sees how Courtney truly was and feels like a fool (rightly so!). He can't seem to reconcile the two Courtneys! Of course he can't because one is very fake and the other well, "kill shot!" Courtney is an idiot if she thought that Ben would turn a blind eye after seeing the way she played him in front of America. I think it all has to with his pride.

What I'd absolutely love is to hear what Benny's mom and sister have to say now after giving the fake Courtney their glowing endorsement. Maybe that has something to do with why Ben stopped talking to Courtney? His mom and sister saw the season as it unfolded and were shocked. Clearly he takes their advice very seriously so my guess is that they are less than thrilled with his fiance.

Yes! I wish I could remember too. I thought that was a new low for them, and it was. But they keep coming up with newer lows.

So I am guessing the reason they did't make the TV rounds this morning (Besides nobody really cares to see them together because they are disgusting)
Is that they supposedly weren't together as far as the show knew.

What I also want to know is just which episode was Ben watching when he stopped speaking to her?

She said it was around Valentine's Day.

Good question. Let's see, it was before Valentine's Day that the episode where Emily apologized and Courtney shot her down aired. That was pretty bad, she behaved so poorly when Emily tried to apologize. Didn't she say something to the effect of once someone has wronged her, she doesn't forgive and forget? I can't recall the exact wording, probably because I'm subconsiously trying to erase this entire season from my memory.

 

[robinb]

Here is a re-cap of the episode before Valentine's Day:

http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/the-bachelor-season-16-episode-7/

It's the Belize, Mayan Temple episode where Courtney manipulates him on her romantic temple picnic. It's the "kill shot" episode.

 

[Imzadi]

This perplexes me - Lindzi was on Jimmy K last night, GMA today, and Live w Kelly today. Where is the "happy" couple?? Aren't they contractually obligated to do appearances?

Did Brad & Emily come on the shows the next day? They were in murky waters, too, during the ATFR.

Actually, I saw Chris in a show around Christmas time that was based on people competing in a trivia like show for money for a needy friend (like a wife who's husband had died, or a veteran returned from war, etc.) It was nice to see him in a non-scummy bachelor light.

Yes, it must be great for him to go from the most useless show, to be able to host a show where some good was done.

That was hilarious. Chris had more animation than I ever thought was possible.

I'm surprised you remembered that much!

I wish I had "trauma amnesia," where I could forget a horrible event that happened. This whole show was a trainwreck.

Usually we start the show with the woman who was sent home, but because of the controversy and drama surrounding Ben’s decision and their relationship, we felt like we really needed to get right into it. Once I did the emotional interviews with Ben, then Courtney, and then the two of them together, it just didn’t make sense to go back and then start talking about Lindzi. Fortunately, you really got to see everything that happened between Lindzi and Ben and there weren’t a lot of questions left to be answered. I was sorry not to be able to fit her in, but who knows maybe we’ll see her again this summer! More on the announcement of Bachelor Pad 3 a little later.

I can't see Lindzi on Bachelor Pad. She seems too ... nice.

They are purposely called "the emotional interviews?" Yuk!

I swear, this smiley ->

is the most overworked smiley on this thread. It's bulimic by now.
