May 23, 2011 - The UNOFFICIAL "The Bachelorette" - NO SPOILERS, please!

[kimmar067]

Oh - here comes the drama - Bentley is back and she is going to see him. Maybe he will ask to come back like Ed in Jillian's season.

...yeah, but if he DOES comes back, and I were one of those other guys, I'd leave right then and there.

 

[Imzadi]

...the rules are: There ARE no rules.

Well, I guess NOT, since Bentley will just happen to come back next week. . . happen to know they went to Thailand. . . happen to find the hotel they all are staying at. . . or at least, the hotel Ashley is staying at. . .


Hmm, who paid for his plane fare?
And how did he know where they even were?
Was he randomly driving around L.A. looking for all of them, since they left the place the they were staying at?

...yeah, but if he DOES comes back, and I were one of those other guys, I'd leave right then and there.

They are getting a free vacation in Thailand.

 

[kimmar067]

... hmmmm, true dat.

 

[Imzadi]

So, should the title of this thread be changed to "The Official Bachelorette" thread yet? Or is it "Unofficial" because it would have been official had the Bachelorette been Emily or Chantal?

 

[Robinrs]

... hmmmm, true dat.

Where YOU been????? We need a laugh in the middle of all this boredom!

Jillian came in third place on Jason's season, didn't she? I don't think I remember her being as much of a let down as Ashley

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I don't think she kissed Constantine, either- I don't remember seeing them kiss on the one-on-one date. I get more of a friends vibe from her and Constantine- from Ames, too, I think.

One thing, though- Ames suddenly got cuter to me last night. Before, he looked really weird, kinda like his eyes were too far apart and his chin was odd- last night, he looked pretty great.

I thought he looked better, too. I had the same impression, or maybe it made me think of some kids I've seen at the clinic with some syndromes - He needs to have bangs or something to make it less noticable. He really is a nice guy - and he seems too smart to get caught up in too much of the drama.

I want to know why any of them stay after knowing she ALREADY picked the guy she liked the most - and that was BENTLEY? Who wants to be second string?

And if she DID pick a guy and he's watching these episodes now, how is he feeling?

I would think he would feel like Emily did when she watched and realized that Brad felt more for Chantal (and got along more naturally,) than he did with her.

They all seemed a little down and distrusting at the beginning of the show. Then she danced her way back into their hearts!

good point. i'd think i might be pretty irritated to hear her constantly refer to someone else as "my guy." or course, it's all probably fake and she can just tell her real pick that.

my current fave is JP.

JP seemed shocked that she had kissed other guys. I think he drew away a little then.

...yeah, but if he DOES comes back, and I were one of those other guys, I'd leave right then and there.

That would be the "MOST DRAMATIC BACHELORETTE EVER!" They could all walk out and leave her with "her guy" Only to have him tell her he's not in to her.

Well, I guess NOT, since Bentley will just happen to come back next week. . . happen to know they went to Thailand. . . happen to find the hotel they all are staying at. . . or at least, the hotel Ashley is staying at. . .

I hate to see the way the producers are manipulating Ashley, and she's falling for it.

I hope they get to have fun in Thailand - not just sit in the house in the rain waiting for a date card.

Ashley is so boring.

 

[JLitfin]

I was getting so frustrated last night with Ashley constantly talking about Bentley like she did, I was ready to give up on the whole show. There is so many other nice guys on the show she could pick, so why does she keep going back to Bentley? And now Bentley is back, I don't even know what she sees in that guy. Ashley needs to grow up, she's not ready for a serious relationship.

 

[Dee77]

Did I read upthread that Ashley's Dad is a recovering alcoholic??? If so, (maybe it's just me) but I find it strange that she is constantly shown to have a drink in her hand and have alcohol as a part of every date she goes on.

 

[Imzadi]

Well, this explains why she'd be into Bentley, if it's not scripted. Alcoholics are notoriously emotionally unavailable, especially when they are drinking or looking for a drink, then other times, charming, fun & available. It could also be the opposite, where they are more lively when drunk, and sullen and withdrawn when sober.

They often blame the child, who grows up with an uber need for approval and jumping through hoops for love, approval, security. It would also explain her insecurity about not being enough. She's always trying to explain she's enough, so her alcoholic dad will finally shower the love on her he showers part time and withdraws in an endless cycle.

She's had 15 guys into her, but the ONE who doesn't want her is the one she wants. Even if it wasn't all scripted, she kind of has this tendency. She would have picked the next unavailable guy.

That also might explain why William is still around. Children of alcoholics are used to their parents saying hurtful and inappropriate things and forgiving them. Did she even say 2 words to William since they've been in Thailand -- other than at the Rose Ceremony?

Jillian was confident and fun.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

Lol, the guys have no clue that Ashley doesn't really pick the dates.

Isn't it like that every season? They always talk about the bachelor/ette "planning" the dates.

I don't know ... my "gaydar" is going off with Ames.

Mine was pinging during her date with him last night, too. But I'm hoping it was wrong, because I really liked him.

He does have an oompa loompa forehead and what was up with that shirt he wore to the rose ceremony? He looked like a boy scout.

What about the guys who never get a one on one and are sent home fairly quickly? I wonder if they can trade in their plane ticket for one two weeks later, and just travel around Thailand for a bit on their own?

I've wondered about that, too. Do they have an elimination station like on Amazing Race, so the early return home isn't used as a spoiler?

About the Bentley fiasco... Remember when Rozlynn was sent home (was that Jake's season?) for entering into "an inappropriate relationship" with one of the production staff? What's the difference now? It's so obviously planned and scripted for drama, but what a double standard! The bad girl gets sent home. The bad guy gets invited back.

 

[Lassie Lynne]

Thanks! I just find it interesting that on Brad's season, she was painted as the dentist and now on her season, she's the dancer?

That...........and those shirts she wears (off one shoulder), it just gives me Flashdance flashbacks....say that three times...

One of the first shows she was tea at the party before she did the rose thing. I thought that was strange.

 

[emer95]

I was so sick to death of hearing "Bentley" during this last episode. Ugh. If I had turned it into a drinking game it would have made it more interesting.

Does it bother anyone else the way she says "per-FECT?" Not to be nit-picky, LOL. She stresses the FECT. I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way before. Totally bugs me. Listen for it next time, and then it can bother you, too.

Did you know Bentley left? Because he did. And apparently he was AMAZING (something I totally missed!) And oh yeah, Ashley thinks he was the one. Ashley loved Bentley. Oh, but Bentley left. Since Bentley left things have been pretty tough...

If it was a drinking game we'd all have severe hangovers to say the least, it was like ramming my head into the wall every five minutes when we had to relive the same painful thing over and over again.

It really makes me question why I keep watching...

Yes, and Bentley was per-FECT.

That would have hurt less than a hangover.

 

[DWGal210]

Haha! So true. If she ends up with someone & they're watching this with her, her constant Bentley talk would prob upset him.

Next week will be VERY interesting....I wonder what goes on with Bentley.

I am still peeved that the producers kept all Bentleys taped pieces & didn't show her after he left. What a shifty, lowlife thing to do. Chris Harrison's fakey "I care about Ashley" is hog wash. He's a putz too.

[FINFAN]

Since 3 of Ashley's cast-offs are *said* to be in the cast of the upcoming season of Bachelor Pad, obviously Bentley is one, but the other 2...hmmmmm maybe West 'cause he's got creep written all over him, I also see Nick as a possibility, even Momma's boy Matt, lol...I just hope Mickey or JP are not the other 2. As much as I wouldn't mind watching them each week, herpes house isn't the setting I'd enjoy them in.
