The Bachelor - Ben??? No spoilers

[pkondz]

Was I the only one who was shouting at the TV "Stop! Make it stop! Just stop!" when Olivia was doing her... well, I won't call it a dance.
Maybe she was cold and she was shivering and just trying to get warm? Nah. It was too awkward even for that.

And did anyone find it weird that one second Ben and JoJo are in a helicopter and the next their date is pretty much over and they're on a rooftop watching fireworks? I assume there was nothing but extremely awkward long silences the rest of the time.

And what's with the girls freaking out when they saw the billboard with "Welcome to Vegas, etc."
I guess they really have mad crush on the hairy man-beast with the massive butt crack who's responsible for programming it?

I will admit, that when Ben first told Becca that he was ordained and they were going to be marrying people, I thought it was creepy. But it turned out to be kinda sweet.

 

[Wishing on a star]

I was waiting, and hoping, to see how Becca's date went.
It was just STRANGE!!!!!

I have also seen a lot of bad editing...
Half of all the dates are totally missing.
Like, it doesn't show them having supper together.
I am like, is ABC skimping out on the nice dinners and bringing in McDonalds or Subway when the two of them are changing getting ready for the evening part of the date???

OMG, Olivia...
And, she is like Courtney (remember her) and the whole self absorbed rambling while actually touching her lips and various parts of her own face...
Olivia has started doing that!!!!

The thing is, it is SO obvious that she got that last rose because of the producers.
The look on his face, and his body language, when he had to offer that rose was almost excruciating!

The producers have to keep the drama going, for the ratings.
And, it looks like next week, they have some of the girls going to Ben to let him know how bad they think she is.
Ummm, haven't we seen this several times before. Hahahaha!

I, like others, have hated the Bachelor Live thing.
But, in all honesty, I caught the beginning of it last night before turning off the TV after catching the end of The Bachelor.
It was the best part of the show. The one woman was hilarious!
Didn't she say that Olivia needed medicated!!!!
That was the most entertaining thing that I saw all night.

 

[lillygator]

Olivia is just weird!!

 

[HM]

Just finished up reading the last two recaps on EW.
I'm so glad I'm not watching. It sounds so uncomfortable to watch.

 

[Dancind]

I really thought they were setting Olivia up with all the "he's MY man" interviews. No such luck. I'm sure Ben knew going in that there would be producer picks that had to stay each week.

Hopefully he will be allowed to pick his own fiancee, unlike Unreal.

 

[daemom]

I don't think they have to leave, but I suppose it would come across as smothering and possessive to the guy to say, "No, I'm not going anywhere, this is my man!"

That's my thought exactly!!!

Whatever came out of that cake was the opposite of sexy.

 

[kimmar067]

I don't know. I must've missed it too.

When I realized it was Monday and The Bachelor was going to be on, I thought to myself UGH. And yet, here I am watching.

....like a ad car accident - you SHOULDN'T look, but you can't turn away...

 

[nanajoyx2]

Can someone please tell me the names of the girls remaining. I've lost track.

 

[piglet too]

Lauren B
Lauren H
Amanda
Emily
Olivia
JoJo
Leah (?)
Becca
Caila
Jennifer (?)

I got this from the ABC site, not sure who Leah and Jennifer are, thus the (?).

 

[nanajoyx2]

Thank you. Not sure who Leah is. I believe Jennifer also complained about Olivia to Ben last night. She had brown hair.

 

[emer95]

Do any of you think that he is way different with Lauren B than he is with any of the other girls? The way he looks at her, the way he kisses her... Swoon!!

Next week looks pretty interesting. All of the girls are crying?

Yep. Lauren B is definitely a front runner.
Who knows about next week. More creative editing I'm sure.

 

[FINFAN]

I know editing, but I was kind of taken back with Ben getting irritated with Jubilee~ I mean, she was trying to be true to herself, stay HER path for him not the stereotypical one~Ben would gush in clips on how strong she is and then he gets annoyed because she won't hold his hand in front of all the other girls, being one of the sheep? Especially after choosing her last to talk to if things are that iffy? Again, I know it is all editing but Ben lost some points for me. Jubilee was trying to explain to him and he was just like, nope , done. I was just really annoyed with him putting the blame on her when it was clearly him who no longer had interest. Big character flaw to me .

well 1/2 way through and they need more drama than just Olivia,

though she IS pulling off the role quite well, lol

 

[erin1715]

Yeah I was pretty bored with this past episode, and it takes a lot for me to get to that point with this show. I usually like to watch, but by the time they had reached the point of the cocktail party I had changed the channel to reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. Ben is boring.

Oh! So you missed the whole nude base jumping they did!

Ben does like air excursions

Definitely.

Ok, I admit I'm feeling a little sorry for Olivia. That was a pretty crappy goodbye.
