The Bachelor-Brad Womack Take 2--Monday, Jan. 3 NO SPOILERS!

[Imzadi]

I could care less how she is as a mother. She made the choice as a MOTHER to leave her daughter. I don't care, whatever worked for her and her family.

But to boo hoo now and to keep on saying it is because of her daughter, I just don't buy it, sorry.

According to the editing of the show, it seemed like Michelle only mentioned her daughter a couple time. Whereas, Emily talked about her daughter all the time. They even showed footage of Emily on the phone, which should have been private, of her phone calls and checking in with her daughter.

If Michelle did NOT mention her daughter to the other women as much as she did in the past hour, then they are nailing her on being disingenuous. Michelle is the one who keeps mentioning her daughter, and keeping that subject in play. The gals are upset about her being two-faced.

I like Ashley's new look! She looks a little less like a 12 yo!

The Final Rose decision was filmed in So. Africa. Wow, that would be a loooooong, bummy plane ride back for the woman who lost. Not, to mention, having all those good memories about the trip replaced with sad ones.

I didn't get to tune in until 7:30 but what I did see was too much of Michelle crying. What did I miss during the first 30 minutes? Did Chris talk to Shawntal?

How many times has Michelle mentioned her daughter in this past hour, when she only mentioned her daughter maybe twice in all the weeks away during the show?

Oh, I'm SURE Michelle's daughter was front and center in her mind the entire time she was all over Brad on the beach during the photo shoot. (She said tongue in cheek.)

She's been hiding her face during all the crying segments.

Chris has another funny expression on his face.

Well, I'd have to hide my face too if I had to say some of those lines. Talk about re-writing history.

I know I am a total sap, but Brad looked really cute with those African kids. ETA: He seemed like a real natural with the kids.

That's the only part I saw until tomorrow, sadly. I loved it! Chris H was having alot of fun too! They were singing a song at the end that we just learned in a Good News Club class at church - wonder if it was a missionary school?

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I know I haven't watched yet - but I wonder if Michelle's drama is staged to set her up as the next bachelorette we loved to hate?

 

[DonDraper]

Did they announce the next bachelorette tonight? I thought that's typically done on the "tell all" night.

 

[JulyGirl]

I thought it was wrong for some of the girls to gang up on Michelle. All of her "crazy" talk to the camera during the regular episodes was indeed sarcasm and jokes. The fact that the other girls were surprised by her private footage proves that she did not treat them badly. They can call her "2 faced", but there was no right to attack her as a mother. She is not the first parent to be on this show. Geez, the saintly Emily had to leave her daughter too. Yes, they show Emily talking about her daughter all the time, but it is part of her tragic story. You can't say Michelle didn't talk about her daughter just because they didn't show it. Hundreds of hours are left on the cutting room floor. Producers have to put together the most interesting show they can in 2 hours.

....I think I threw up a little in my mouth....

 

[happygirl]

It seemed to me they are setting Ashley H up to be the Bachlorette with Chris asking her lots of question, her new make over.

I would rather see Ashley S be the new one.

 

[kimmar067]

Michelle is dramatic.... I dont believe her crying victim spells AT all!!

...you don't GET that kind of acting just ANYWHERE...

That's exactly what I thought.

 

[JVelasquez]

I too think the ganged up on her. I was really shocked Jackie was one of the women who attacked her! I've heard Ashley H is going to be the next bachelorette and if that's the case I don't know if I'll really get into that season... She seems really nice but she wasn't my favorite. I do like Ashley S tho!!! Did anyone else notice Shawntel didn't say a word last night?

I love Ashely S she just seems so nice. I bet Shawntell was made at how her family was portrayed on the show, this is her living and it made it seem her family was more like the Addams family

 

[happygirl]

I think Jackie talked more last night then she did while she was on the show,


I'm willing to be that Michelle and maybe even Jackie are going to be on the Bachelor Pad, in the summer.

i was surprised they didn't talk to Shawntel. i mean, she was in the top four and they basically ignored her (at least on what they aired).

i also thought there was a clip in the previews of Brad telling Ashley S "i lied to you in Africa." i guess they cut that part. and i like her hair better lighter.

i was surprised they went after Michelle twice. once was enough. and then to attack her as a mother was wrong. the rest of it, she probably deserved a little. you don't get to act like that and then not take the consequences. but questioning her mothering was a little too much.

i thought Brad showed more personality in the bloopers than we've seen all season. where is THAT guy?

 

[happygirl]

Hey, any of you Bachelor fans also watch Real Housewives of OC?

Last night when I watched RHOC I noticed that Sarah Brice, Charlie O'Connell's former fiancé, was the nurse who was removing Tamra's tattoo.

Anyone else notice this??

ETA: I just googled it. I think they're together. But what's weird is there is YouTube of her on LA Ink too, and they say her name is Sarah Bin. Odd.

Are you sure it was the same girl, Sarah Brice is a OBGYN labor nurse, I'm mean I guess it could be her, I think her and Charlie are back together and again are planning a wedding

Yes! In the previews there was a part where he said he sabatoged their date in Africa and then there is this shocked look, gasp thing going on.

Going into the show last night I was watching for that and then I forgot about it until I just read your post.
