Official thread for The Bachelor

[KAMLEM]

Surprisingly though, I don't hate Moana. Actually, I think she's the only one being realistic about this whole thing. These girls have known Travis for what, three weeks? They don't know him that well and yet, they're all falling over themselves "in love" with him. I think Moana's got the right idea in a way. She's not in love and she's not going to compete with all these other girls. She wants to get to know Travis and if it works, it works. If not, then she'll go home and find something that DOES work.

ITA. I can't say that I like her, though. I just understand her position. I think it was smart of her to bring him the coffee in bed. If anyone else had done it the girls would not have made such a big deal about it. I think that Nashville Sarah is starting to lose it a little and I just don't think that Travis likes her all that much.

Haha I have been saying this since the first episode. She drives me crazy!

The only girl on this show I can stand is Susan. She's the only one not being spiteful, catty, or possessive. I like her personality and I think her and Travis have alot of chemistry. I hope they get to know each other better in the coming weeks.

I really wish that Travis would send Tara and Sara from Canada home. Tara is a drunk and she seems to be quite possessive, always interrupting Travis's time with the other girls. Sara just annoys me. She's EXTREMELY possessive and immature and she's always got this smug look on her face like she knows that Travis likes her best or something.

I could have written that word for word. I completely agree with you. Moana is not that bad and Susan is the best. Although, she did bother me last night because she came on too strong and seemed clingy. She needed to lighten up a little and take it easy on saying over and over how strongly she felt about him.

I think that Moana is saying: look, I'm not into him dating all of us and if he doesn't pick me, I'll survive. She has been tight lipped about how she feels about him, but I think that's because she doesn't like the whole situation of all the girls liking him too. She's acting like she doesn't want to get close to them but she's all about getting close to HIM. I don't have a prob with any of that and think the girls are being jerks. The teacher looked awfully "crabby" and the b-word she used a lot seemed to apply more to herself than anyone else. There's not one girl there who would choose her new best friend over this guy, even if they pretend to be buddy-buddy now. Moana is being real about that and that's a plus for me IMO. I hate the fake, loyal stuff.

I agree with you about Moana, but with a twist. I think she's putting on a cavalier attitude, but is really interested. I think she's playing it cool, so that if she doesn't get picked, she can walk away acting like it was no big deal.

Is Tara the redhead? Is so, I soooo agree with what everyone has said about her too. She's so immature! Talk about not playing fair!

 

[lilostitch]

I agree with most of you. I can't stand the Canadian camper
Although I admire her for not being a "fake", I don't like that she feels so entitled to Travis already. She seems to think it is a done deal, and he will be with her. I can't stand when she growls/purrs, it makes me think she needs to be taken to be spayed. Do men really fall for that garbage? All that being said, the two seem to have great chemistry. The way he fell on top of her after he got rid of the prissy girl when they were camping...he seems to like her...alot. I'll be shocked if she isn't in the final 2.

I think the teacher is out of there. Although I like her, there doesn't seem to be a spark between them. He is looking for the passion, and she said she is often friends first. Although IMO, nothing wrong with being friends first, it doesn't seem to be what he is looking for.

I can't stand Tara either. She is so rude, constantly interrupting his private time with others. Very insecure and childish. Interesting how Travis seemed annoyed when she did it with Susan, and not as much when she interrupted him with the teacher.

Moana moana moana. I think she is on target when she says they don't really know him, so how can they be THAT invested in him. I do think she is playing head games with the girls though. I think she pretends she isn't interested, when she really is.

Susan is still my fave. I don't really get why the other girls are hating on her. I don't think they need to get so invested in WHY the other girls are there. That really isn't any of your business, it is between that girl and Travis. Just because Travis keeps someone you think isn't there "for the right reasons"...who cares?! He didn't want you to stick around, regardless of the other girl and her intentions. He JUST WASN'T THAT INTO YOU. Deal with it. Move on and find a guy who IS into you.

I think it will come down to Susan and Canadian camper.

 

[Robinrs]

I like Susan the best, I love how he told her she was "ridiculously beautiful" because she is! I think her face is just flawless!

I think Sarah from Canada is adorable but somewhat needy. I also think that Travis likes her little girl ways but will eventually tire of her neediness.

Moana is sultry and seductive, most men have no idea how to get out of a web like the one she weaves, but I don't think she has the effect that Sarah and Susan has on him.

The rest are just going along for the ride, I feel, unless something strange happens!

I noticed that when Sara Canada talks, she only does her "pot" voice when she is talking to Travis. She doesn't do it when she talks to the camera. Which only makes it all that more annoying to me!

I never noticed that. I'm usually too busy cringing when she's talking to notice to whom she's talking to!

That means she thinks it's sexy!!!!

And while I'm talking about annoying voices, I also couldn't stand Trista Rehn's voice. That one was like nails on a chalkboard. And I had to endure two shows of that one!

 

[Jennifer S]

Ohhh. I agree about Trista - that baby talk annoyed me!!

 

[lilostitch]

I know! Her voice wasn't that bad until she'd break into that BABY talk. Gag!

 

[TigerBear]

I missed most of the show tonight. Can anyone tell me about his date with Sarah from TN?

 

[donnajon]

She got a rose on the date. They didn't show much of her which is making me think that she might get the final rose. Sara Canada, Susan and Moana got the other roses. Big surprise.

 

[Jeafl]

TigerBear, they went to some kind of shopping district and bought bread, cheese and wine and had a picnic at the Eiffel Tower. While she was buying the bread, he went into a jewelry store and bought her a necklace with the Eiffel tower on it. He surprised it with her at dinner.

They seemed to get along well, and he said something about her being very real, and genuinely nice or something like that. Then he started talking about the rose that was sitting there and he said to her "I really think it is time you went home". Her face completely fell, then he smiled at her and said something like "But I want you to bring me with you" in reference to him visiting home towns next week. Not a very nice trick, and I am sure the producers put him up to it for some added drama.

I have liked her from the beginning, and quite frankly, she seems like the only halfway normal one left. Moana has WAY too many issues, Sara Canada is too immature and Susan I think has hidden motives. When the girls asked her about wanting to move to LA to be an actress, it sounded like she still wants to go, which doesn't seem to fit into Travis' plans.

My husband watched about 10 minutes of it last night and deemed the remaining women "Psychos from hell". LOL I am glad that Tera is gone if nothing else.

That date was with Jihan, not Sarah TN. He and Sarah TN went to dinner and roamed around an artsy area, and had their portrait done.

LOL You are right! I guess I shouldn't post before I have my first cup of coffee. Thanks for straightening me out. The whole part where he said I think it is time you went home though did happen, right?

By the way, I didn't think that portrait looked very much like them.

 

[TigerBear]

Thanks! I was surprised to see she was the one with the rose before the rose ceremony last night. It has never seemed to me like they have much chemistry. She might be the best "wife material" in the bunch though...if that is what he is looking for.

 

[Ranatra]

I was really glad to see Tara not get chosen. Did you see the look on her face? She just couldn't believe Moana got picked and she didn't.

 

[Jennifer S]

I'm so glad Tara is gone. My favorite is still Susan. Sara fron TN is OK but I don't see a spark there - at all. But it could be in the editing. I think Moana will be gone soon. He said he was afraid of hurting her. There isn't something right about her

Sara from TN has NEVER seemed concerned about not getting a rose - it really leads me to believe there is something we are not seeing. And when he joked with her last night that it was time to go home - she took it all in stride - I don't think he would have joked around with someone who he was not that comfortable with like that.

I also think they are very careful to edit so that you are happy with his decision. I don't think they would portray Moana so poorly if she was truly his choice.

After Allie G. and her rotten eggs, that was the best moment on the show . So glad she's gone!

 

[Am_I_There_Yet]

Enough about the women - I want to know what the French guy said that was bleeped!

I too was soooo glad to see Tara go, but I don't quite get his motives for not giving Jihan (spelled right - who knows?) a rose on their date and then letting her go home after all.

I guess he was just trying to see if there was someone else he wanted to let go more than her and didn't want to waste his chance? My own sentence didn't make sense to me... lol.

The look on Tara's face was worth watching the whole show for.

I can't quite figure Moana out yet. Is she being honest, or is she playing the sympathy card with Travis? Either way, she's not looking too stable. She's reminding me of the girl with the long dark hair, when fisherman guy was the bachelor. The one who wigged out?
