Is it Juan-uary yet? Bachelor Juan Pablo dish - NO SPOILERS please!!!

[Wishing on a star]

Okay.... time for my take now.. for what it's worth!!!!

OMG, I was never a WHO-Ahhhn Pablo fan.
To think that he was brought back by 'overwhelming viewer demand'...

What a totally clueless skuzzball.

Okay, so he thinks it is okay to just 'spring' it on Nikki that she will be meeting his EX, and his, child, and the whole family.. Really... REALLY.... I don't care how much pressure the producers put in him with their nasty scripting... He should NEVER, EVER, have pulled that.

And, then, it is time for their romantic dinner, so she is in a VERY skimpy dress... and no bra ( NOT GETTING ANY POINTS HERE FOR THAT ONE NIKKI )... and he takes her to play baseball... Really... Really!!!!

OMG, what a totally clueless skuzzball!!!!!

And, if I were Nikki, and I heard Clare begin to cut down the other girl... and act like their date just had to be some kind of sympathy date.. I would have turned my back and walked off as well. Sure, Nikki is like a 12 year old. But, she has more tact and class and maturity than Clare ever could. Because Clare has none, whatsoever... The way Clare got aggressive, and followed Nikki to her very bed, to harass and berate here. OMG. That girl is 'dangerous'.

And, talk about the show being 'scripted'...
The whole scenario with Sharleen... Uggghhhhh.

Again, when somebody is upset and not wanting to make good eye contact.. He is all controlling and up in their face... "Look at me.... Look at me...." I almost find that to be disturbing. Because I don't think that is totally scripted... I think that show the real Juan Pablo.

The whole episode this week was just bad it wasn't even fun to watch.

I, again, tried to find the comedy in it, when it showed all of the disastrous scenes, the fantasy suite thing, etc... I was like... (with Chris Harrison's intonation here)

"The most shocking and never before seen ending in Bachelor history...."

ALL of the girls walk out on little Juan Pablo!!!!

Was that Clare's Mom or her sister? She told Clare not to "manipulate Mama".

I thought it was her sister. Clare said she was the youngest of 6 kids (IIRC, all girls).

Is it just me or does this season seem to have the lowest production budget/values ever for the Bachelor franchise? I feel like I'm watching it on Lifetime or E sometimes. Only a few countries visited, very few "wow" dates, lots of "cheap" dates, no interviews between Chris and Juan to help us get to know him better, heck, even the roses themselves seem to get smaller (seriously did you see the ones he gave out in Korea and Vietnam, they were tiny!). Way too many scenes of him swapping spit with the girls, etc.

In a way I think the opera singer was right, there is no way any of those girls are seeing past Juan's good looks and kissing skills right now. Can they even have a true conversation with him?

Urgh, and I love this show, always have, but this season makes me miss Bachelor Pad...

Sorry, I can't help but think of "little" Juan Pablo!!

I agree with everything you said, especially the skuzzball part. What I would've LIKED to see is the conversation Sharleen had with her manager who obviously booked her on this PR nightmare..."get me out of here NOW, HE MAKES ME SICK!!"

As for Chelsie... ... I love how the Bach gives a woman a chance to speak right before we lose her. I had no idea WHO she was. After Andi got the rose I said well that girl that I don't know is going home

What a mess, and I watch it in about 30 mins on the DVR. I don't even know how Clare speaks because I FF thru all of her scenes. Her face gives me the heebies and the jeebies. And if that she beast that is speaking to her is her sister or her mother, JP better know that he's peeking into his future...

Was it me or did Renee look like she had on NO makeup at the ceremony last night. She looked haggard in a way, much older. No matter what, she's much too good for JP OR this show and should leave faster than Ms. Opera. Let Nikki and Clare fight over him, they deserve him.

Cheap?

What's cheap about going to his daughter's dance recital or throwing a ball at an empty stadium? I cannot IMAGINE how much it cost to get that BIG NAME singer to sing at Andi's date last night....



I don't think any of these girls want HIM, they just want to WIN. It's a fight to the finish as to who he likes the best but as soon as it's over they'll see why Camilla's Mom gave him the boot and could've cared less that he brought a date to the dance recital.

I agree about bringing her to meet his family and ex-girlfriend. Very tacky on the part of the producers. I will quibble about the date. I, for one, would love to have a picnic in the infield of Marlins Park! As for the baseball, I'm sure the producers also wanted to set up the possibility of a wardrobe malfunction.

And, if I were Nikki, and I heard Clare begin to cut down the other girl... and act like their date just had to be some kind of sympathy date.. I would have turned my back and walked off as well.

Man, Clare looked completely insane! I hope that the other girls have learned their lesson about telling the Bachelor about their unhinged suite mates.

 

[pigletgirl]

PP, Clare has always looked nuts, because she is!

 

[emer95]

Is it just me or does it seem like Clare had work done on her teeth recently and hasn't figured out how to speak with her new smile??

That has been bothering me too. I honestly think she thinks she looks sexy. It's like she stands in front of a mirror, slowly opening her mouth and pulling her lip below her teeth, thinking she looks hot. Not working for her. Everything about her screams PHONY to me.

 

[iheartdisney]

Sorry I'm late to the party. I actually fell asleep last night, it was sooooo interesting!
Honestly, I think they are airing two episodes next week just to get it over with. I wouldn't call this season a trainwreck... train wrecks are interesting. Its more like... a train that is just sitting there.
So here's my thoughts...

I knew Rene was going to go on to hometown dates... how else do we get the obligatory single parent segment where she stresses and stares off into space and wonders if she should really introduce her child to the Bachelor. And then they'll have a lovely picnic in the park.

I didn't know what it was, but she makes a weird pucker face at the end of every sentence.

I haven't watched too many seasons, so I don't know the typical "I'm going home now" protocol but the whole time Sharleen was telling the girls she was leaving, I couldn't help wondering what she was going to say when she went upstairs to tell JP and changed her mind. Then she'd have to come back downstairs, gather the girls back together, and tell them Nevermind!! lol
And assuming Sharleen wasn't a plant... honey, the reason you don't have a "cerebral" connection is because there is nothing going on cerebrally with him! He's just a pretty face.

And last night watching him tear up at the rose ceremony (again) I wondered if maybe he is hoping for a career in the telenovelas.

 

[Simba's Mom]

I've noticed the lack of discussions between Chris and Juan Pablo too, as a PP mentioned. I was kind of wondering what the reason was. Chris ALWAYS sits down with the bachelor/bachelorette to discuss how things are going. Perhaps Chris has him pegged as an airhead and he doesn't want anything to do with Juan Pablo either!

Please don't judge me everyone but I am literally sitting here at work watching the Kardashians and sure enough Kim said to Khloe that she looks like she has a piece of pepper stuck between her two front teeth and that she should get some bonding work done to them, THAT is what I think Clare had done!

Clare loves to pose and try to look sexy and it was disgusting that even when speaking about her dead father leaving the video she was mugging for the camera, she's a tramp!

 

[iheartdisney]

So... I was watching The Taste last night and caught a preview for Monday night, looked like the rose ceremony when there are still 4 standing and Chris Harrison says something like Juan Pablo has something to tell you... and then cuts to everybody crying. Interesting!

 

[lisaviolet]

!

I know.

Why? It's because any conversation would come down to the same four words over and over. The editing team would run the show into bankruptcy with all their overtime to get something from it.

If I wasn't so tired I would think about what those four words would be. But we have enough funny people on here to give it a go!

I almost died when Sharleen said she was looking for something more cerebral.

Four words? All right.

Chris:"So Skkkkkrrrrthtthuan Pablo, why are your conversations so stilted?"
JP:"Stilted? What is that?" (four words, right?)
Chris:"Why are your conversations so monotonous?"
JP:"Monotonous? What is that?"
Chris:"Why are they so contrived?"
JP:"Contrived? What is that?"
Chris:"So laboured?"
JP:"Laboured? What is that?"
Chris:"Dull."
JP:"Dull? What is that?"
Chris:"Oh, come on! Are you kidding me???? Where do we find these people?? I want to renegotiate my contract!"
JP:"Rene... Reneg... Ren... Re..."
Chris:"Renegotiate! RENEGOTIATE! It means adios Wan Pablo! Adios! I'm outta here!!!!"
JP:"Adios. I know what that is!"

 

[iheartdisney]

Four words...
"these guuuuurls are sexy"
" I liiiiiiike these guuuuurls"

Anyone else watch The Soup and catch #NikkisStinkyHideaway?
True story- the soup introduced me to The Bachelor

You don't really believe they will show you what they imply on the previews, do you? I can't count how many times this show has "previewed" something that NEVER happens when they air the show. They are masters of implication.

 

[lillygator]

anxious for tonight, they are coming to my home town!
Iknow they went to siesta key and twin lakes baseball park...

 

[Imzadi]

I'm watching.

 

[Imzadi]

Yeah, Juan Pablo, just hold that rifle so that it's pointing right at the guy's heart behind the counter.

i am just now starting the DVR.....helping kids finish up the homework.
