The Bachelor - An Officer and a Gentlemen

[Albertan mom]

There is just something about Bevin, I just don't like her.

I think Tessa is the one he will pick. I like her,she is genuine.

Danielle is very nice, but doesn't get much screentime, which means he could be picking her and the show is trying to throw us off!

So hard to tell with the editing they do. It seems Andy is always singing Bevins praises, but finds a few little things wrong with the other gals.

I hope it isn't Bevin, I don't think she is sincere and genuine. She seems so dramatic and fake.

OK, I totally got sucked into this last night. My impressions...he really likes Tessa and justed needed her to say that she liked him too. Once she told him, he seemed to melt with relief. I think he'll chose her.

"Melt with relief" - I love that! ITA. The way he kissed her after that - yowie!

When he said "I want to fall in love with you too" - I thought that was very telling - is wasn't, "I want to see where this leads with you." We've heard that soooo many times before on The Bachelor, including the final rose ceremony (here's an engagement ring on a necklace, babe!)

I like Andy for one particular reason... he seems to like women from the inside out. Now THAT'S unique!

I think it kills him that Tessa doesn't open up. Sorry, ladies, men LOVE that! He is a fierce competitor and wants what he has to pursue. I think he's crazy about her.

Besides, I question how the HECK can a woman be in "love" in such a short amount of time. I think that Tessa is the most realistic contestant they've ever had.

As for the "fun" statement, as a parent I'd rather hear that than to hear some "Cinderella" I'm going to meet my prince statement from any child of mine that was going in the Bachelor! I'm sure she wanted her Dad to know she wasn't vested in this kind of thing and in the end it would not define her.

Bevin gives me the creeps. SO WHAT you've been married????? Lots of teenaged marriages break up... MOST do... and if Andy holds that against her he's not living in the real world. Besides, she has so many other things to hold against her...

I swear, I have no CLUE who Danielle is. She is about as interesting as a blank sheet of paper.

Amber.... loved her with the kids but she disintegrated from there. I felt so sorry for her concerning her family... ugh, could ABC mention it ENOUGH times? It reminded me of the Sadie virginity thing last year...

In the end I'm sure Amber's family really let her have it after he dumped her. Man, a little "I told you so" in her face. I always thought it was a bit TACKY to introduce a man to your family then he throws you away. UGH.

***Note: Anyone who says "age doesn't matter" IS THE WRONG AGE****.... nuff said!!

Did anyone else get the same impression I did, when Amber left? She seemed to me, to be the only girl in all the seasons of The Bachelor, that was truly upset to be leaving the show.

It seems to me, that for most girls it's a mixture of being irritated that he didn't choose them, embarrassment of getting "voted off" and some attraction. For her, she seemed deeply hurt.

I knew it was over when her ditzy roommate didn't understand the terminology of what Andy does for a living. Couple that with the nickname, "Amby" and giggling like a bunch of elementary-school girls, and I knew it was over. I bet Amber wanted to ring her neck after watching last night's show.

None of these girls are doing anything for me! Tessa is about the only one, and even her... I don't know. Something just isn't there.

I just re-watched that part - "diver? what's a diver???"



The whole "Pasha has a big say in who I date" thing was ridiculous too. Sounds like Amber should date Paris Hilton - they can carry their little dogs around in matching handbags.

Yes, she gave blonds everywhere, a very bad name.

 

[lillygator]

I don't know who Danielle is either??!!

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I think he let Amber go because he did like her and his mind is all ready made up to pick Tessa. He didn't want to lead Amber on any further. Maybe I am just crazy in my theory.

I agree with you. I think he probably really wanted to say it's not you, I've just fallen in love with someone else(Tessa) but I'm sure that's not allowed.

 

[CookieGVB]

Danielle seems to be the dark horse in this race. I think it's all in the editing - let people believe he's after one, and sneak the other one in at the last moment.

From the previews, I had a feeling it would be Amber leaving. The only other one who I thought would be WEEPING like that in the car was Bevin, and I figured he'd keep her around. I think he was floored by the fact that Amber's family didn't want to meet him, and was having premonitions of family scenes to come, and backed out fast.

 

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

I have been using the whole Andy/Tessa thing to show my DD what men really want.

Wheen you want to make a man fall hard, you have to be strong, confident, and aloof. If he thinks you are out of his league, he'll chase you for a good long time.

DD is having a problem understanding that concept...but I have faith that when Andy chooses Tessa, she will understand.

 

[mommasita]

I wonder if anyone noticed Tessa's knees shaking so badly they knocked during the ceremony? That was a sure sign of caring and nerves to me. She seemed so nervous, and to me is obviously head over heels, but is very smart..

I agree about Danielle. As a matter of fact, the show skewers the way things really are so much, that I find myself watching it in reverse psychology!

 

[Ride Junkie]

I like Tessa, but it was clear that Andy had to lead her into saying, "I want to fall in love with you." Is she not that into him? Or is it just really hard to talk honestly with the cameras around?

It's so funny how everyone kept saying how mature Amber was for her age. Then, when she fell apart in the limo and said, "I don't know why he didn't pick me", DH and I looked at each other and said at the same time: "Because you're immature?"

 

[poohluvrs]

He's going to pick Tessa, they'll pretend to be a couple for the obligatory period, then they will part ways....just like every other farce the Bachelor has produced...

This of course has not stopped me from watching it

Yeah, she went from 'freaking' to 'fricking' to the real word in less than one minute. She was upset but the scene with her roomate made it clear that she was not in his league. The roomate should have pulled out all the stops-candles, soft lights and she was "like" asking the "like" dumbest questions. Tessa's best friend, on the other hand, was pretty brutal and clearly demanding that Andy prove HE was worthy. I loved it when she said, "so, are you just keeping the others around because you have too?" Andy was clearly speechless on that one! He told them he "felt like he was courting her." I think that is the best indicator-HE is pursuing her and the other women are pursuing HIM. We'll all be floored if he doesn't pick Tessa, that's clear.

Lurking here again. I was wondering if anyone else noticed, during the rose ceremony, when he gave Tessa a rose, he gave her a kiss. He did not kiss the other two. Did anyone one else see this? I don't have it on TIVO to go back and check.

 

[SundancePass]

Oh my GOSH, I cannot *believe* I got caught up in this....but here goes.

Bevin is SO high maintenance! Danielle....who?? And Tessa...playing it close to the chest, will be selected, IMO.

The whole thing just cracks me up! I cannot wait to see who goes up to the special suite with him next show. My guess....ALL of them.....ROFL.

Good luck Ladies! A Navy Officer's wife is gonna need it! Particuarly one who does pushups on boat railings (falls over laughing!).

I know!!! I dated a guy once who did pushups in public. I left him where he was doing them. Next day, I was on a new course and he was scratching his head. lol! This guy is gung ho and clueless. He's cute though!

Yep I noticed that as well!
