We need a Bachelorette thread!

[Disney Khaleesi]

Can anyone tell me how Eric died?

Eric died from injuries related to a hang gliding incident. I believe he ran into some sort of rock or mountain?

When they showed her taking the publicity shots in front of the law library- looking room...I swear it looked like they were in Gloria Allred's press room!

I should have kept notes on all the guys as they exited the limo. Did she keep the very first guy that she called "hot"?

I did notice that she threw the y'all ball too many times...

Both of my parents are from the South and they said y'all all my life. I moved to Atlanta in 1986. Even I felt it was a bit forced . Almost as if she wanted to emphasize her culture or maybe she was a bit nervous.

I moved out of Texas 15 years ago and I had to work hard to get rid of my accent and drop the y'all and a'int. But it comes back without me noticing if when I talk to someone from back home, I'm nervous, or drinking. I'm pretty sure Andi was at least two of the three during the cocktail hour!

I LOVE this website. I laughed all the way through it.

Thank you. I imagine it will be heartbreaking for his family to watch the show if they do.

That was a good blog. Even with the notes I had a hard time remembering some of them. Still don't remember who the first guy out of the first limo was. I just know that she thought him "hot" and I agreed.

Everyone here and ready with their drink of choice at hand??

I hate to say but I thought last week was super boring. Hope it gets more interesting as we go along.

 

[MomofKatie]

I'm ready for some drama!

 

[Dee77]

I just want to say that the promo picture that they have of her when they cut back from commercials, I swear she looks just like Des!!

 

[ebtbmom]

It's pretty sad watching Eric's date. They seem to have a good connection, wonder why that changed?

 

[kimmar067]

Where's all the Bachelor/ette fans? Anyone else watching, what are your thoughts on Andi?

I can't decide, I like that she's career oriented and seems super smart, but is there enough drama potential there to carry a season?

I. cannot. STAND. her.

....I'm just watching for the MAYHEM...

This is now the Bachelorette thread.

Many of us are still voting for who we want to win DWTS. It's odd that they snuck in The Bachelorette right afterward.

....don't you usually start these?

I don't think she's nearly as adventurous. He would have been so bored sitting around while she did her job and he wished he was still being an explorer/photographer. She asked him point blank if he would stop the adventure if he was married and had children. He said he would stop but I think that someone with that kind of wanderlust never stops. I was a travel agent for 27 years and met lots of people who couldn't settle down. They were a romantic group but not the kind of guy you'd marry and expect to stop the adventure. They would simply resent you. Eric's life was short but it was full.

Not sure what happened, but I heard a spoiler (that I won't repeat here) of WHEN he leaves.

I admit, it was pretty sad to see him on the date, telling Andi about the things he wanted to do in the future and about his family, and knowing he is no longer with us. Such a shame to lose this young man so soon.

Nope, I never start The Bachelor(ette) threads. Only the DWTS threads. I never liked giving newbies the idea that we have some closed, Monday nite clique threads. Everyone who watches the cheesiness should feel that they can join in.

That need for adventure ended up getting him killed.


I know several people that were given a surprise skydiving adventure. They were driven to the place and expected to learn and jump that day.

Even though there was enormous peer pressure to do it, if I ended up with that group, I wouldn't have done it. I would have adamantly stayed on the ground. I've done adventurous things, would love to go race car driving, But, skydiving, particularly, is where I draw the line. Some adventures aren't worth the risk. And all those peers that would have pressured me to go with them, wouldn't have been there afterwards if I ended up paralyzed from the event, if my chute didn't open. They would have felt sorry for me, but they'd be off living their own still unencumbered lives.

Of course, that's the best part!

Drunk Craig's laugh is horrendous.

 

[Pugsly]

Is it me or is anyone else's gaydar going off when Craig was on screen? Especially the way he reacted to stripping next to Josh?????

 

[Imzadi]

How many times is Andi going to say how disappointed she was with last nite? It was only ONE guy getting drunk and causing a slight scene.

 

[Dee77]

That evening gown does nothing for her.. The green dress at the track was really nice though..

Yes!! That laugh is killing me, very effeminate. I'm suspicious of the wedding planner too.

Really, compared to the shenanigans the women have gotten into that was pretty tame.
