I agree with others Tenley seemed off. I wish they would shor more of Kiptyn less of Craig

 

[stsomewhere]

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but yes, I will be watching.

Me too.

 

[Simba's Mom]

All these women with skimpy and/or tight clothes. Everyone sleeping withn everyone else. Drinking and partying all the time. Just terrible!

But I'll be watching every week. I'm not sure why, but I just can't stay away. And they all seem to laugh all the time about anything.

What a way to start this weeks episode! Yuck! Don't watch if you are eating!!!!

 

[Kurby]

this is totally disgusting. really?? if last week you didn't think you were in a frat house you sure will tonight

 

[of the seas]

And they don't even clean off their faces to do their camera interviews. I'll repeat-yuck!

 

[Kurby]

i think they did then "make up" put some back on.

if you look at the girls faces during the men's eating then see their interview - i'm sure some of them had cleaner faces outside then during their interview.

like what's her name with the brown hair during the bachelor then blond now - the amount of pie on her face changed druring both times her interview came up

 

[Robinrs]

What the heck HAPPENED to THAT strategy?

What bugs me is ABC showed the scene with Kyptin and Tenley in the first show and since it hadn't happened yet we KNEW he wasn't leaving.

How STUPID it was of Gia to give Wes the rose...

 

[Kurby]

gia has a lot of nerve being mad because nikki didn't follow through.

she wouldn't have had to if gia did what she was supposed to do and give the rose to the right person.

it was her idea and she was the first to blow it

 

[happygirl]

I'm glad that nikki decide to keep Kipytin, I agree with the PP Gia had a lot of nerve being mad and Nikki when Gia is the one who blew it in the first place

I just watched the some of the first episode, my DVR didn't record all of it.

I guess I missed something: Are Elizabeth and Kovacs dating? Were they dating before the show and came into the show as a couple?

I think I'm missing something there, can anyone clue me in?

I don't love tooo much trash tv but this one certainly fits the bill!
Much more entertaining than the boring Bachelor/Bachelorette, so I guess I'll be watching.

What's up with Melissa Rycroft popping up on ABC shows? Are they trying to make ammends with her or something? I don't think she's all that~

Wes is the modern day Shakespeare? Gag!. Why do women fall for guys like Wes?

That was a pretty cheesy line she used.

I was kind of starting to like Craig. He was not as obnoxious as he was on the Ali season. Tenley seems so whiney. I liked her on Jake's season, but not so much on Bachelor Pad.

I agree with both.

Tenley sounds and acts like a 4 year old. I know it's all in the editing but all that whining and whimpering is getting OLD.

 

[Kirby]

Gia gets on to the weatherman for taking the wrong girl on the date and then she gives Wes the rose. Geesh! And it looks like Gia's going to cheat on her boyfriend (if she really has one) in an upcoming episode.

And who is that girl that will kiss every guy there and probably sleep with them too?

Major bad move on Gia's part!

Elizabeth and Kovacs had a "fling" before the show. Don't know how contrived or true it is, their whole experience sounds "made for TV" oriented.

Melissa R must have the BEST agent EVER! She is an AWFUL host! But everywhere you go on ABC...there she is...

Natalie... wow. I'm sure her parents are SO proud.

After posting, I thought I would just head over to see what Chris had to say about last night's episode and here it is:

A house divided! The game play has quickly kicked up a notch or two in Bachelor Pad this week. Before we dive into that hot tub I want to share some more good news with you this week. A couple weeks ago we all watched as Ali and Roberto got engaged; well, this week I learned about a couple more engagements in our Bachelor/Bachelorette family. Former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas and former contestant Holly Durst got engaged to the Stagliano twins. DeAnna is engaged to Stephen and Holly to season five contestant Michael. From what I understand they are planning a double wedding this spring. I consider all four of them friends and we’ve been waiting for this good news for awhile now (no offense, boys). I’m very happy for all of them, wish them all the best and can’t wait for the wedding!

I really want to start talking about this week’s Bachelor Pad from the end and work my way back, because if you watched the previews for next week you saw Wes with his guitar singing “love don’t come easy” to Gia. I don’t think any of us are able to wait a week to see that unfold, but alas we will have to. This week started out like last week ended, with Elizabeth playing games and manipulating the situation. I would love to get your opinion of Elizabeth. Is she crazy — or is she crazy like a fox? Or, as she put it best, is she a “dumb smart girl”? That was easily my favorite line from this week’s episode. Say what you will about Elizabeth, but bottom line she is in control of this game and the guys (especially Kovacs). She has absolutely imposed her will on this house. It will be interesting to see how long she can keep it going. The main thing we learned this week is that Bachelor Pad is really high school all over again. Within a matter of days the house has been completely divided between the insiders, or “cool kids,” and the outsiders, or “others” as they’ve been called.

This week’s challenge was easily one of the grossest things I’ve ever witnessed. First of all, I tasted the pie, if that’s what it really was, and it was disgusting. I was amazed at how the women went after it during their contest. I figured they would just mail it in and not go for it, but I was dead wrong. They absolutely put the guys to shame. In the guys’ defense, after sitting around watching the girls eat, gag and puke their way through the contest, I have no idea how they even sat down in front of a pie. Gia and Weatherman won the prize and were safe from elimination. Even at this early stage you can already tell, winning the competitions is so valuable. During the competition we got our first glimpse of the partnership/relationship between Gia and Wes. Things took a step further on the date, where Wes spilled his guts and admitted he has serious feelings for Gia. This relationship is compelling on many levels: First of all, Gia has a boyfriend back home and is having to deal with the fact that she clearly has feelings for Wes. Secondly, Gia completely sabotaged her own plan by following her heart and not her head by giving Wes the rose instead of saving Craig M. It was ironic that after she admonished the Weatherman for thinking with his “emotions” Gia did the exact same thing and turned the house and the game upside down. It was also incredibly ironic that in the end the Weatherman and Craig M needed each other to survive. Just goes to show, the Bachelor Pad is a strange place.

After seeing Wes and the way he is in the house and the way he is with Gia, I’m interested to hear your opinions. Is he sincere? Have you changed your mind about him? Do you now see what Jillian saw in him during her season? Because Gia gave Wes the rose, the night of the rose ceremony was crazy. I think the vote and strategy changed three times that night alone. Everybody was running around looking for cover — that is, everybody except Elizabeth, who threatened a few people, pulled a few strings and got exactly what she wanted. Despite Gia’s mistake in not saving Craig M, the outsiders still had a solid plan and had it all figured out, but they didn’t count on one thing: Deep down inside, whether they’ll admit it or not, the outsiders want to be accepted and be a part of the insiders. With very little effort Kiptyn was able to play on Nikki’s emotions and turn her against the others she had just promised her vote to. If Kiptyn had been voted out, the outsiders would have had complete control of the house. Instead they have all been exposed and now they have to find new alliances and figure out a way to survive. The only thing more shocking than the vote this week was my tie/shirt combo at this week’s rose ceremony. I think this outfit is like fine art; it won’t be truly appreciated until I’m long dead and gone. The previews for next week gave you a small glimpse of what’s to come, including Wes serenading Gia with the same song he sang to Jillian. No need to thank me for getting “love don’t come easy” stuck in your head again! Please leave your comments below, and remember you can always get in touch with me via facebook or twitter @chrisbharrison.


It's interesting to hear that Gia and Wes have had some little thing going on and last night sounds like it's just the tip of the iceberg.

And congrats to the new engaged couples. I don't remember anyone but DeAnna but I'm sure we'll see photos of them all soon.

Mike was on Jillian's season.

Holly was on the London Bachelor season. I believe all of them were on the E Bachelor special so how did Chris just find out this week?

 

[Kirby]

I've watched all but one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette series but unless they do something to make me remember them, I don't. A lot of the guys look alike to me, that's why I have trouble remembering them. But thanks for the picture. I seem to remember the other girl.......
