Official thread for The Bachelor

[Steamboat Marti]

The more I think about the spoiler, the less I believe it. Usually these people are guarded like Fort Knox - I highly doubt the winner would be seen in public with Travis until the show is over. I think its a plant to throw people off.

I don't like the two girls, the actress and the California girl, Mohana (sp?) she's such a drama queen and the other one is so fake. I like Sara from TN, but I think Travis is not going to keep her.

It seemed like during the family visits three of the families were concerned about their daughters except Susan's family and they doubt her motives. No one knows her better than her family and after tonight I don't like her anymore. I was hoping she would be the one gone but Sara/Canada was a good choice too. I couldn't believe during their date she was talking about Moana. It all seemed so high school.

Moana's family was harsh! Poor Travis!

 

[etwinchester]

I do think Sara/Canada was too young and high school acting. She should have concentrated on their relationship and not talking about Moana.

Moana does seem like TOO high maintenance...

I really liked Susan until tonight! I can not believe both of her parents doubt her intentions!! Not a very good character reference in my opinion!! And then when she said = I hope I don't get cut this week - it really sounded like an acting call back to me!!

There is no normal human being on earth that would meet Moana's family and continue that relationship - I think what bothered me most is that she did not pull her dad aside and discuss it with him - my parents would have NEVER treated someone like that but if they had - I would have had enough respect for that person to pull my dad aside and ask him to be a little more human!!

Sara from TN is the obvious choice here - they seem to have so much in common - she said from the beginning that she thinks it is most important to start with friendship and then move on to romance - which seems to be what they are doing -

I am not sure in the end that he will end up with any of them

Sara from TN would be great if Travis decided to STAY in TN. I don't think she would move to the mountains.

How cool would it be to tell your kids that you only lived a block away but ended up meeting in Paris...

It would be so great if they ended up a couple. They'd live so close to her parents...

I think that will be the big stumbling block with them - but I thought about it - my parents and I are very close but I know that I would move anywhere with my DH - she needs to look at the big picture of her life and if she truly wants to be with him - it will not be a problem -

besides - I would imagine on an ER doctor's salary - she could fly home anytime she wanted!!

...

I wondered while watching last night...don't these women sit their parents down and say "DON'T discuss XYZ"???

I wouldn't be surprised in the end if he doesn't end up with any of them either. He may "pick" someone, but I just don't see a relationship would last with any of them. Susan is in it for the publicity/opportunity, Moana needs to work on her mental health before trying to be in a serious healthy relationship, and Sarah TN is a sweetheart...just don't think there's much there besides a friendship, altho it would be nice if something developed.

Could you see if he picked Susan in the end, and then saw last night's episode?

Besides...I never understood the hoopla about Jenn not picking a guy in the end of her Bachelorette series. If it was that simple to put a woman in a room with 25 male strangers, and after a few weeks, fall in love and commit to till death do they part, there'd be a whole lot more married people in the world.

 

[KAMLEM]

I was shocked at how badly Moana's parents treated Travis. I also couldn't believe that she didn't say anything to them about it. He even said that he couldn't take another night like that so I really don't think she'll be around until the end. I think that he is starting to like Sara more but I don't know how she feels about moving away from Nashville. She definitely wants to end up there to raise her family but it doesn't sound like that's what Travis wants.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

You have to wonder tho, what some of these women think when they sign on for the show. Did Sarah TN think that if she were "the one" that whomever the bachelor was, he'd be moving to TN to be with her and her family?

When you get involved in a situation like this, where the guy can be from ANYWHERE in the country, you have to assume, to some extent (however sexist this may sound) that there's a good chance you'll be the one relocating.

 

[lillygator]

I still don't see any spark with Travis and Sara from TN....and Moana..what was that speech? I would not have picked her after seeing that. She's a wack job!

 

[Ranatra]

I think Sarah from Canada was just too young for him.
Susan's Mother was super annoying Ugh! So she thinks Susan should wait a year to date, and she just HAD to tell Travis that. Susan is an adult for goodness sakes. She doesn't need her mother's approval to date!!!!! Her mother is way too into her life. She needs to step back and leave her alone.

I really like Sarah from TN though I don't know if there's romance there or not.
Moana seems like an emotional basket case. I'd run.

 

[suzannen]

I still don't see any spark with Travis and Sara from TN....

Me either. It seems like the reason Sara from TN keeps giving for why she likes Travis so much is simply because he's from Nashville. It's almost like she's convincing herself they have a great relationship because he would be so convenient to her life and family. The look on her face when he said he wanted to move was priceless.

Moana is getting a little creepy. My DH said "ooh stalker material" after her crying episode on the tape.

I really don't see him ending up long-term with any of these women.

 

[Mickey02]

Sure glad Travis got rid of Sara from Canada last night. That constant quesioning about the other women would get old fast. She was way to immature for him. Susan use to be my favorite until last night. True colors are coming through.

I agree!

I too don't think that he will end up with any of these women in the long run. He cannot possible believe that Moana is mentally/emotionally stable after watching that tape and then being put through her parents.......the nut doesn't fall to far from the tree! Sarah well she is very well spoken and mature and great with kids unfortuneately I don't think she has any adventure in her, wants to stay close to her parents? Heck given the opportunity and a chance for love I would love to pack up and head out on new adventures. And Susan just does not do it for me. All in all right from the beginning non of the women stood out to me, and I am forseeing another match not going anywhere. A few more shows like this and I see the Bachelor show not being renewed, we have watched the last 3 go down in flames, some not even lasting til the last show was aired! I think the Bachelorettes do a much better job at chosing people.......IMO women know what really matters, men well they just love all the attention of the beautiful women and get all caught up in that, not what is on the inside.

I was thinking that maybe Sarah TN was open for that, and then when she found out that he was from TN, it just got her all excited...like automatically she figured they'd just stay in TN.

Who knows...I really like her - but I'm not seeing a spark there.

I think if he picks anyone, Travis will pick Susan and then they won't last.

 

[azgal81]

I really liked Susan until last night. Did she tell Travis she has been engaged before or was that news to him as well? It seems to me from what was said that her ex broke up with her right before the show. She or one of her family members also said something about her not having an apartment so it sounds like they were living together and just broke up so she hasn't found a place to live yet. She went to LA hoping to be an actress and landed on a tryout for the bachelor and figured hey maybe this would launch my career maybe I should go on the show!

Sara from TN I think is being the most honest. But I also think shes so into him because he lives right by her. It seems like he wants to move and she's pretty firm and not wanting to which makes me wonder if he would pick her. I also don't see any real chemistry between the two of them.

Moana is a basket case. It's weird how she was all closed up and now that it's getting to the end she's crying all the time and telling him how he completes her. Her dad is also mean. I couldn't imagine how Travis felt!

I'm glad he got rid of the other Sara. She was way jealous of the other girls and smack talking Moana all the time. I can understand being jealous if the guy you liked was dating 3 other girls but dont' be depressed jealous and ruin the time you are having with him. I also though it was funny how when her and Travis were together she seemed more excited to see her mom then him when they were feeding the ducks.

Next week is going to be another two hour episode and they are going to visit the couples still together. Tristian and Ryan, Byron and Mary and Charlie and Sarah. The week after will be the women tell all episode and then the 27th is the two hour finale!

 

[Jennifer S]

Well - Let's hope editing plays into this. I had such high hopes for Susan but after last night I don't think it would last either - unless we aren't seeing something. He seems the most into her. He even went back to the hotel w/ her after the date.

Sara TN would be the best pick but I see NO chemistry at all. She'd make good wife material. I just think he's not into her.

Moana - run - enough said - I think he's sacared to cut her.

My guess is it's going to be Susan but not sure how that will work out.

 

[disykat]

I haven't been watching, but caught about 45 minutes last night. I'm not getting how people don't see chemistry between the bachelor and Sara TN. I noticed how they were both grinning when they were kissing and THAT to me says chemistry.

Maybe it's already been said here, but I noticed that someone said those that were still together were going to be on the show. Does anyone know what happened to Meredith and her guy? They weren't listed, but I don't remember any public announcement of a breakup.
