The Bachelor (SPOILER)!!!!!!!!!!!

[Buckalew]

Yep! LOL

(LOL means I'm doing a little Helene imitation there.LOL)

 

[minniepumpernickel]

I can't believe that I watched this again! Sorry to be so hypercritical about it. He certainly is pretty...lol!

I feel like the twenty two year old is emotionally unstable, or very naive. If he dumps her, I hope she doesn't have an 'episode'. The show bothers me, because it's so sexist. Are they ever going to come out with the bachelorette?

 

[tnkrbell]

Count me in on being upset he booted Gwen!!!
There is something I do not like about Helene too!!
Brook is the one whos father is in Jail right??? If so that is the one my hubby picked at the begining to win!! HUMM??!!

I believe it is coming out in spring 2003. It is starring Trisha, the runner-up from the last show. (that WAS her name, right?)

 

[wvjules]

Chi, you're right. It will be Trista from the first Bachelor as the Bachelorette.

Based on his diary on the ABC site, it appears he chose Brooke over Gwen because of how much he thought Brooke liked him. What an idiot.

http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/specials/bachelor/diary.html

"Gwen, on the other hand, came in and she just didn't seem that much in the moment. She came across very indifferent to me. I don't know if it was because she was confident that she was going to receive a rose because our exotic date went so well, or if maybe she had decided I might not be the one for her, I don't know.

That was the turning point for Gwen, and that conversation, coupled with the video message, just wasn't very dynamic. It just didn't seem like she was that interested in me. So I decided to give Brooke a rose instead and give us a chance to get to know each other even better. "


If he really does think he is in love, he obviously thinks he is in love with Helene since she was his certain pick.

Ugh that helene gets on my last nerve...that 'giggle' is soooooo darn annoying!!!!!!!
Brooke is too immature...but I think he may pick her. Look at last season when the guy picked the 22 yr old girl - she was frisky and ready to go (if you know what I mean....remember the chocolate 'dessert'). He may follow other things than his heart when picking the girl!!!!
I wasn't big on Gwen either - too phony, but liked her better than Helene....
Who do you think he is falling in love with?? I think it is Helene because he picked her first and had to think about the other 2.

I too was surprised that Gwen was "dismissed". I think Brooke is immature and would do and say anything to win. And eventhough I love the southern accent, her's is grating on my nerves.

I think the winner will be Helene. She seems like an adventurous person like Aaron and he seems the very comfortable with her and he has liked her from the beginning. I thought is was funny last night while they were riding in a jeep and he was teasing her about how she had left her last two roses in the rose presentation room. She really has to lose that giggle though, maybe she's just nervous.

 

[cinlee3]

Oh, I guess I am admitting that I am hooked on this show.

I will be surprised if he chooses Brooke over Helene. I think he really liked Gwen, but as someone else said, he knew he wouldn't pick her in the end so let her go now or it may be harder for him.

I think he is keeping Brooke as a tease. He has liked Helene from the beginning. He is the most comfortable with her from the body language and their conversations. She seems to be opening up more each time.

Brooke is the one that annoys me. She wants to be treated like a little China Doll. And when she said "My Daddy will be so proud of his little girl" when she got the star named for her little sister I thought I was going to puke. Especially after hearing what her Daddy was in jail for. I still think it's icky that when he is with each one he is rubbing his hands on them, playing with their hair, constantly touching each one the way he does - eeewww.

How in the world can he actually start a real long-term relationship with one of them after she sees what he did with the rest?!?! I don't get it. The whole think is just too mean-spirited for me.

 

[nanalisa]

Cinlee3, what is Brook's daddy in for?

 

[CajunDixie]

For those of you waiting to see who wins the last rose we have to wait 2 weeks this time. The Women Tell All show is on the 13th then on the 20th will be the last rose ceremony. And the girls will be guessing who he gives the last rose to also.

Whoaaaaa the poll on the site where we can vote for who we think he'll pick is running very close

Who should Aaron ask to marry him?

49.79% Brooke
50.2% Helene

The Bachelorette show will air in January of 2003

Even though he is in jail for molesation doesn't mean he has to be any less proud of the star his DEAD daughter got named after her.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Oh goody, they are making a Bachelorette show! With the woman in charge, just like it should be!

 

[snoopy]

I agree with you wvjules. I don't fault Brooke for her Dad's wrongdoings, and I don't fault her for loving her Dad still. He is still her Dad, regardless of what he has done.

I like Brooke. I think she is young and vulnerable, and she probably blew it for being so openly infatuated with Aaron, but she seems like a nice person. Very genuine. I even liked her family, even if they are a bit over the top.

 

[charlie,nj]

Last night was the first time I watched the show. Out of the 3 girls that were on last night. Helene was the best looking. I will bet my bottom dollar that he picks the dark haired beauty Helene.

PS- I think it is a cruel show. I felt sooo sorry for the girls during the "rose" ceremony. How mean.

 

[CajunDixie]

Even though he is in jail for molesation

I think they said on the HS show that it was more than molesation....possibly rape at knife point? Granted its not Brooke's fault but for her to say she's proud of him is a bit much.

 

[mivvers]

I was curious, so I searched and found this quote about Brooke's dad ...

"He's a wicked sexual deviant who preys on young girls," said police Lieutenant Steve Isbell of Dyersburg, Tenn., Smith's hometown.

Granted, this is from The Enquirer, but it does sound like it's more than just molestation. Yikes!

I am a big Helene fan and think Aaron has been smitten with her since early on. Do you remember the episode when the women were all still living in the house and they found out Aaron had singled Helene out. Apparently early on, (1st episode??), Helene went to Aaron and said she might not stay on the show (remember how a couple of the women left by choice?). Aaron said something like, "Do what you need to do but if you decide to leave, please contact me." and gave Helene his personal phone #. One of the other women, upon finding this out, said "What are we all still doing here if Aaron feels that way about Helene?"

I understand these shows do lots of editing to tell the story a certain way but I do think it's Helene he's falling for.

I hope that he picks Helene over Brooke. Personally, I would be leary of someone that "falls in love" so quickly. All this talk about how he would make such a wonderful husband and father is enough to make one sick. I'm not saying that he wouldn't but she hasn't known him long enough to make that kind of decision.

And I liked Helene's family the best. Reminds me of my husband's family.
