Official thread for The Bachelor

[Disneemomee]

I hope Sarah and Travis have a happily ever after, they both seem like really great people!!!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Wow! Travis looks different in the pictures! More of a surfer type dude

I loved the dress Moana wore to the final rose ceremony! I too thought she was going to have a stronger reaction.

MScott1861,

OMG, am I the only one that thinks the guy on the right looks like Scot Peterson?????

Did anyone else see this quote from the host before the season started....it pretty much gave away the ending

"I love who he chose, and, without giving too much away and being obvious, I love the fact that we went all the way to Paris to shoot the show and it ended up the way it did -- it's a great story," the host remarked during his E! interview. Think about it him flying to Paris to meet someone who lived so close to him??

Also, did anyone else laugh at how many times Sarah said Nashville it was in just about every other sentence she said. In the end I am glad he picked her I think she would make a good future with him while Moana was more of a fling and not future material. It seems like that is what he was looking for.

Those pics!

Yeah, I wouldn't have given him a second look. man, those people who do extreme makeovers really have to have a lot of imagination to see all that potential underneath. Travis is a cutie now.

I'm glad he picked Sarah. Didn't think he was gonna. As for the poster who said she was pushy, an ER doctor actually needs a partner with some spine. ER takes a certain personality. It is a tough job, stressfull, demanding job. he needs someone just as strong at home who will demand equal time at home & help him focus away from some of the horrors he has to deal with on the job, or he will burn out.

I loved the dress Moana wore to the final rose ceremony! I too thought she was going to have a stronger reaction.

I felt bad for Moana in the dress. Although it was attractive, once they actually had to blur the picture, and another time they probably should have. She was having a hard time with bodice whenever she sat.

To me this reminded me of Meredith and Ian. I saw a connection there too - I'll still vote for the grinning kiss over the Hollywood hot kiss anyday! I think I've watched five of the Bachelor series and I've been right three times and wrong twice. I'm sure glad it went my way this time!

Here's my record: The first one I thought he'd pick Trista and he picked the other girl. I thought Trista would pick Charlie and she picked Ryan. I got Meredith and Ian, Aaron and Helene, and tonight's Sarah. I was wrong about who'd stay together. I would've pegged Meredith and Ian to stay together over Trista and Ryan.

I wonder if Sarah will have a terribly hard time watching the show - I hope they are able to work through that!

 

[Kimberle]

I knew he'd pick Sarah. I knew it from day 1. His body language was so relaxed with her. I think he was just intreged with Moana.

That ring on a string thing was dumb. Very junior high. He should have just given the ring as a sign of friendship.

 

[chris1gill]

Have there been any interviews with them together yet? I'm wondering if they are still dating? I thought they might be on GMA, but it doesn't look like it...

 

[lillygator]

Wow - I watched the ending this morning - thank goodness for DVR! I knew he wasn't going to pick Moana when he went to her apartment for dinner and sort of questioned her and she really didn't have any answers about the other girl issues.

I am anxious to see how they are now that the show is over!

 

[Disneemomee]

I agree about the ring on the string, its a little junior high ish, but doesnt the show pay for the ring should he choose to buy one. Because I remember the firestone bachelor making such a big deal over the fact the he bought the ring him self. I wouldnt care who bought it, that rock would fit just fine on my left hand.

 

[wilderness01]

I agree that it you could tell it was over when they were in her apartment. Sarah is a much better choice for him, more respectable and confident. I also agree if she said "she just wanted to go back to Nashville with him" one more time, I was going to puke. He already said that he wanted to move from there. I wonder if this will be a sticking point between them? Sarah really did look pretty all dolled up. I am curious to see any interviews from them today as well.

 

[lillygator]

I agree about Nashville....I did not want to hear that anymore!!

Anyone read anything on them?

 

[Jeafl]

I think Travis was probably the classiest bachelor they have ever had. He wasn't all over every one of the women like Bob and others which was refreshing. At first I thought he was probably just a bad kisser, but the more I thought about it, I think he was just very restrained when kissing the women because he has a reputation to uphold, and maybe he was uncomfortable kissing on camera.

I also liked the fact that he didn't tell Sarah that he loved her (unless I missed it...) It seems like he genuinely wants the relationship to work so he is taking it slow.

I also like that he had nothing bad to say about any of the women, ever. He really tried to let Moana down gently, but there really was no easy way to do that. She really appeared unstable last night. I also think she has some self esteem issues that really should be addressed.

I am happy with the way things turned out. I hope they can make it work.

 

[trip]

Has anyone heard of any TV programs they will be on this week?

 

[Mickey02]

Sure glad he picked Sara. Moana sure needs to work out some issues before she is involved in a relationship. I wish she would not have kept going on and on in the limo. "Guys like him don't chose girls like me" bad bad bad Moana, you really made yourself look very unstable.

I agree with Travis being the classiest bachelor they have had yet. He was very respectful to all the women. Bob made me ill!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

I didn't watch this season, but watched the final last night...Was Moana always such a flake..I thought she was way too needy and desperate. Was this true all through? I was 99% sure he was going to pick her just the way they edited it last night..I was stunned when he picked Sarah...she is perfect I think...but it just seemed like he like Moana more

Are they going to do the after show this time?

 

[kimwim8]

I'm another Travis & Sarah fan!! I haven't been that excited about a Bachelor finale in a LONG time!

I was worried b/c I didn't see a physical connection there, but it looks like that was just editing.

I wonder what Travis meant when he said (I think to the camera) that there was a definite reason he had Moana and Sarah as the final 2. Like, if it was Susan & Sarah, maybe his family would love Susan too much? I wonder...

Anyway, abc.com doesn't even have last night's results on there yet ?!?! So unfortuntaly, no news about an after-the-rose special. I really hope there is one. I don't really care to see Moana again (not sure if she'd still be upset or if she'll be back to not caring) but I'd love to find out how Travis & Sarah are doing back home. I really think those two will make it.

I watched it on my DVR this morning. My son was walking by and was just SHOCKED at the response Moana gave the sister.... "it's not in my character to answer a question like that"... He shook his head and said "man, you'd think she'd be trying to impress them"....

ITA!

She seemed sooooo uncomfortable with them, and they were very nice people! The Dad asked good questions and she even refused to give them good eye contact... ugh... Mom's face told the whole story, though....

Mystery is intriguing for a WHILE, but once the mystery is gone, what's left is a psychotic wench. It's been my experience that if EVERYONE else doesn't get along with someone, one day I'm BOUND to find out why.

I think Sarah was a bit disappointed with the ring on the neck but was just happy she was the last one standing. I was glad he picked her. He seems like the type who likes familiarity, and she was just that.

 

[lillygator]

I also thought Moana was a bit rude when she was alone with the parents. The father would be speaking and asking a question and she wouldn't look at him and then would interrupt!

That was aNOTHER thing I noticed! I understand being nervous but to constantly interrupt the man, she showed no respect for him at all.
