The Bachelor -- with LeeAnn gone

[Robinrs]

There's no one to truly DESPISE!

Bob's so nice, the girls are so nice, the families were so nice, I felt like I was watching the Brady Bunch last night!

I did think he would drop Estella or Mary last night but thought it would be much fairer to release Meredith. I don't think they really had a connection outside of the loss, which was bad enough without stringing her along just to drop her at the end.

I think Kelly Jo's family was a HOOT! Bob was really in his element there! She's always been my favorite. I can so relate to her love for her Dad....

I wonder who he is going to pick. I do believe he truly cares for all of them. You know how boy meets girl and get comfortable with girl and a relationship starts. I like them all but Mary being the least. I look forward to Wednesday nights, Geesh Gail, you need a life

I'm rooting for Kelly Jo!!!
I think that Mary might be scaring him a bit with how serious she is already.

 

[Pam]

Mary totally reminds me of, I believe her name was Christina, from the last Bachelor. She was a little older than the other girls and wanted to be Mrs. Firestone and have babies. Does anyone else see that connection?? And she even looked like Mary!

I thought Estella would NOT get a rose. Her voice annoys me.

Kelly Jo and her family were great but honestly, I wouldn't be too thrilled if my daughter (or son) was dating someone who was slurping with 5-6, 7 other people.

Estella is Trista's clone, and since Bob seemed like he was in love with Trista, my bet is he picks her.

I think of all the girls Meredith was the most real. Even though she was catty toward LeeAnn last week (and lets face it, who wouldn't be?) I liked her because she didn't state her undying love for Bob after two minutes like the other girls. DH liked her best too, and said all of the other girls, including Kelly Jo who I also find sort of refreshing, would scare him to death if he were in Bob's shoes.

Honestly, I thought I would enjoy this bachelor and it's boring. I can't stand psycho Mary who is totally in love and wants to have his children. C'mon! I like Estella and Kelly Jo so whoever he picks ~ have at it! But, that Mary has got to go!

 

[Kirby]

I've liked Kelly Jo from the beginning and Meredith has grown on me. I see his reasoning for not giving her a rose but feel that maybe he made a mistake not keeping her a while longer.

I liked Mary at first but now she just plain scares me. She reminds me of someone that would stalk him if he doesn't choose her. She is just too far gone.

Pam, I agree with you, Estella's voice is very annoying. And she does sound like Trista.

I'm rooting for Kelly Jo.

 

[tink29]

I will bet the bank, that he picks Estella in the end!!

Here's my thoughts. They're probably not even worth 2cents!

The only one who truly looked happy while waiting for the rose was Kelly Jo. (did she know she was getting one? hmmm) It was almost painful to watch the expressions from the other girls. I like Kelly Jo the best. She just seems like a lot of fun. I also liked her family. (all women) Bob really was shining there.....up on a pedestal. I think she has settled down since the beginning and Bob is seeing the real her. The only thing that could hinder her is that the night of the pj party, Bob said something about he wasn't sure if he could be with someone exactly like him. (stealing the show type) Then he said something like he knows he can after that night.

I missed Mary's home visit but I don't care for her. It's hard to pinpoint exactly, almost like she is too passionate??

I thought Estella's visit was a little strange. She is so independent. Although she loves her mother, I don't think it's the same family dynamics that Bob has.

I can see why he kept Meredith until this point. He had to give her a chance since she seemed to sacrifice a lot for him by staying. She seemed so sincere at the end when she told him that there were 3 wonderful women left and then proceeded to say how ticked she was when she got in the limo. Maybe if she told/shown Bob the things she said at the dinner table, things might've been different. It seemed to me she was saying the right things but not showing them.

Who knows though! There's so much we aren't shown.

I was shocked that Estella got a rose! I thought that he was pretty straightforward when he basically asked her if she was going to have another breakdown over him dating other women. I thought that it really bothered him, and that it negatively impacted his opinion of her. I guess I was wrong.

I was also shocked that Meredith took Bob to her grandmother's grave. I think that should've been shared with her family, not with someone she barely knows. Of course, I don't mean to judge a person's grieving process. I feel horribly sorry for her, as I can't imagine losing my grandmas.

Mary is way too over the top about "loving" Bob. I was also surprised he kept her since she has been so straightforward about wanting kids immediately. I don't really think that Bob is in that same place right now, but maybe I'm wrong.

Kelly Jo is my absolute favorite. She and Bob seem to have such an easy, natural connection. Plus, she seems like a genuinely wonderful girl. Bob also seemed really at ease with her family, more so than the families of the other girls.

DH and I think he's going to pick Kelly Jo. DH says Mary is scarey. She's too pushy and he thought she was going to go home last night. Estella is a lot like Trista IMO so that might keep her around, but I like the chemistry between Bob and Kelly Jo.

 

[marymrg]

I got the same feeling with him letting Meredith go and also with Misty. I think he didn't realize that they were falling for him so hard and it's better to cut them loose now since he probably knows who he is going to pick.

I think he is sincere when he says that if he would date all of them if he met them out somewhere. I also think that some of these girls felt like they knew him because he was on the other show.

I wonder if the girls get paid for appearing? And, do they get more money the longer they stay? I wonder also how long it takes to film the entire thing and how understanding their employers are.

 

[pnelson]

I like Meredith and Kelly Jo is growing on me. BUT-am I the only one who finds Bob a little too "cutesy"? He just seems a little feminine at times, he plays the sensitive side too much-Yuck! Like when he calls them "Sweetheart" I just want to gag. Also, I hate his laugh-It reminds me of Helene from the other Bachelor-the one who ended up with Aaron.

 

[snoopy]

That high pitched giggle is enough to make me want to reach through the TV screen and rip his head off.

(I guess you could say his laugh annoys me too, pnelson. )

 

[UncleKyle]

I try not to make too many judgements about the bachelorettes because they do edit this show to give you a certain point of view. But sometimes I can't help myself because I couldn't stand Lee Ann, don't like Mary, and I think Kelly Jo is perfect for him. If he ends up with Mary I hope he learns Spanish, I wouldn't be able to deal with not communicating with her parents. I do like what Mary's Dad said at the supper table. If Bob doesn't pick Kelly Jo then I'll take her!

I'm expecting A LOT of tears in the next couple episodes (well, more than usual anyway!!). I really think that all three of the remaining girls REALLY like Bob. My thoughts on who Bob will pick continue changing with every episode! Meredith was my favourite but now that she's gone, I'm not sure who I like the most now. Kelly Jo seems like a lot of fun, but I'm wondering if they're better as really good friends. Mary is REALLY into Bob, but I think they're at different places in their lives right now. I expect to see a really emotional scene when Mary doesn't receive a rose...... I don't really have any feeling one way or another for Estella. Maybe she'll get Bob for that reason!! Of course, who am I to say who Bob should pick!! Dh keeps switching between Kelly Jo and Mary as his favourites.

 

[suzannen]

Mary scares me also - she's just way too INTENSE with her love for him (methinks she is in love with "being in love"). I keep thinking if and when he does not pick her, she will positively be hysterical. I actually think if he's NOT going to pick her as the final one, he should cut her so as not to string her along further.

I like Kelly Jo the best and Estella second. Kelly Jo and her family seemed very genuine.

As far as Estella, her voice is a little annoying, but she does have a great house in Beverly Hills!

 

[Jeafl]

I think the final two will be Estella and Kelly Jo, with Kelly Jo winding up with Bob.

I agree that Mary seems way too intense, and I get the feeling that she just wants to be married, and it doesn't matter to who! She sees that she has a chance with Bob and is really going for it, with great gusto! Also, her pushing for kids immediately may be a turnoff for him. They will only have known each other 6 weeks, and she wants to have kids with him? I think Bob knows that it would be fooslish to jump into that too soon.

 

[mouseclick1]

I really thought it was going to come down to Kelly Jo and Meredith. I was surprised when she did not receive the rose last night! I did not like Kelly Jo at all after the first episode, but like her better now. They do seem like the best match to me. Who knows? My gut instinct always seems wrong on these shows!

I can't imagine the show without LeeAnn!!!
