We need a Bachelorette thread!

[sms]

Okay, here is my take on things. If anyone is interested. First of all I think Nick has some serious problems. He was too sure of himself at the beginning and then all of a sudden he is just torn all to pieces. He also over analyzes EVERYTHING! He just wasn't even fun to be around anymore. I don't think he is a very stable person. Now about the "love making". I have a feeling there wasn't too much to it and Andi was just nice enough to not say anything to embarrass him like he did her. I think Andi and Josh will probably make it, for a while anyway. I think they both came from the same "class" of people. I don't think Nick was financially stable enough for her. Josh and Andi have very strong personalities as does their families. I think it takes a strong person to deal with either of these families. Okay, I just totally over analyzed that didn't I?

I had a totally different impression of Nick! What everyone considered intense or creepy I saw as someone who was really in love (doesn't always happen on this show!). Of course it takes more than two months to get over someone you were ready to marry! Especially if you have to relive it on TV and if you were for realz in love.

When Andi was talking in the men tell all hubby and I we're yelling "bull!!!" At the TV. Anyone who saw her on her date with Nick could see that she really was in love with him. She did not look at Josh any more loving than she looked at him. Watching the final date cleared up nothing and I fully understand why Nick wanted answers! The way she talked about him! They really did have something special and I do think it would have lasted.
I don't know why she lied in the men tell all. To protect Josh I guess. It was quite mean how she talked though and hubby and I paused the TV and started clapping when he called her out on her crap!!!
That doesn't happen enough on this show. It is ridiculous to say it is ok to go around sleeping with others and leading them on 3 days before proposing to someone else. Also ridiculous how she was reassuring him the night before and really made it seem like she would pick him.

If a guy had acted like that we would all be flaming him!!! And if a girl was distraught after it, we would be empathetic. But nooooo Nick is a guy and can't be broken hearted and Andi is a girl so her actions are ok.

I'm convinced she didn't want to talk to Nick because she wasn't sure she made the right choice. She even said on Jimmy Kimmel she only really decided that morning.

Personally I doubt she and Josh will last. He is the type she hasn't had success with and something about him- I don't buy it. I started to when he got mad about the lie detector tests (he wanted a real relationship! Gasp!) and she did keep him after he disagreed with her (not something she usually did. Ahem.)..... But yeah. Something feels off!

Maybe it was his super ill fitting suit!!

Dumbest moment- when Nick and Andi were on their date and they kept saying how fun it was to go off-roading. Ummm, they were clearly on a road. A dirt road, but still a road. Off roading is when you go through brush and mud and dunes- you know, places where there are no roads. I'm surprised Andi considered that off roading...

....you're confusing off-roading with OFF-off-roading....

Also, I thought it was odd that last night or at the Men Tell All they didn't even mention Eric. They made such a big deal of it at the beginning of the season, dedicated the season to him and not so much as a moment of silence.

....I noticed that too, and thought it was a little strange. Maybe his family requested that he not be mentioned (?)...

 

[kimmar067]

I think we are forgetting a major factor in all of this and that is the producers and Chris H behind the scenes.. They clearly do not have any of the contestants best interests at heart at all and who knows what they said to her regarding the overnight dates etc.. That's just between you, no one will ever know what goes on or maybe they took the ratings reasoning, if you only do an overnight with one of the final two then if will be obvious what the last couple of episodes will be like etc....


When Chris H went on and on about how Nick reached out to him to be able to get in touch with Andi and then the letter etc I really lost a lot of respect for him. Clearly they pick the next contestant and then sort of leave them as bait strictly for ratings...

....and, speaking of that letter, did anyone else notice how it seemed like the same paper Chris handed to Andi at the end of last week's episode? [when he went to her dressing room and mentioned that he still had a copy of those lie detector test results]

 

[kimmar067]

Watching now. Josh seems very genuine. He's tearing up just before proposing. But is it me or is he wearing an ill-fitted suit?

....the one with the rippling muscles underneath? No, I hadn't noticed....

 

[kimmar067]

No, there are women on this board who don't find him attractive, to each his own.

They found 25 girls who were willing to deal with a soccer player with a child in Miami, they'll find 25 girls who will be willing to move to a farm in Iowa.

....I don't doubt that. I think it's a totally different situation, with Andi finding out on the show that Chris is from a farm in Iowa. Any potential contestant will already know what they could be getting into....

 

[Robinrs]

Yeah, they didn't look like small time, struggling farmers either. I think they make bank!

I didn't really find Chris that appealing, not my type. I liked the coach, Brian I think? I don't think any of hers would make great Bachelors.

I was referring to Juan Pablo, and I DOUBT if he was rolling in the dough.

I liked Chris and thought Brian was doughy. To each his own.

As for being a struggling farmer:

In a story for USA TODAY, host Chris Harrison said Soules is one of five guys to watch on the show, saying this: "If you say he's just a farmer, you're missing it. He's a millionaire. Very good-looking guy. He really wants to find a wife and live the American dream."

DEFINITELY not my type!!

.....ohhhhhh, soooooooo, what you are REALLY saying is that your man needs [or 'kneads', in this case! ] to be well-baked. and slightly browned....

WHAT show were YOU watching????

 

[kimmar067]

WHAT show were YOU watching????

OH MAH GAWD.....I just shot coffee through my NOSE!!!

 

[Robinrs]

.....ohhhhhh, soooooooo, what you are REALLY saying is that your man needs [or 'kneads', in this case! ] to be well-baked. and slightly browned....

with EYEBROWS!

 

[kimmar067]

....good point.

As soon as I heard that the one left behind was calling and showing up and writing notes, I knew it was Nick. Josh has too much confidence and/or class to do that. I think he would have been hurt, but would have taken a different road. I think he would have probably felt it was her loss and moved on like most of the other guys. The guys in the audience seemed pretty happy with her choice of Josh though. I will say he certainly is very handsome and has a lot to offer Andi. Time will tell!

 

[Robinrs]

OH MAH GAWD.....I just shot coffee through my NOSE!!!

Do I owe you a monitor???

Chris lives about 90 miles from me, and my aunt and uncle know his family. Perhaps I should go visit them and try and get a peek at Chris. They say the family is great, very down-to-earth.

I don't think I am his type and I am for sure NOT going to be on the Bachelor - blech - but if I thought I had a chance I would mosey myself right over there and do some work!

He seemed to respond well to the "random" chick that showed up on the Men Tell All show. You may have a shot!
