What will they think of next???

"The One That Got Away," a reality show that condenses that search for
love into a single, two-hour episode, will air next month on NBC.

There's another twist in this latest entry: The seven contestants
competing for a bachelor's affections were once involved with him.

"We found the bravest guy in the world who decided to open up his
romantic past and take a shot at falling in love all over again,"
executive producer Joe Livecchi said in a statement Tuesday.

The bachelor is Skipper Kress of South Carolina (his hometown was not
released by NBC). "The One That Got Away" airs 9 p.m. Monday, May 31.

Ok. We got a guy named Skipper, with not two or three exes, but seven? Hmm...

This show was so stupid. Thankfully they didn't drag it out for 13 episodes.

What a time saver ... in two hours (okay, I'll admit I was trimming nose and ear hair while watching the show) we got to see our hero make the wrong choice. Incredible, I didn't have to waste 13 weeks.

Just think, I'll NEVER get those two hours back ... sheesh!

"Saved By the Bell" cast heads to summer camp, and puts on a sleazy spoof of "The Bachelor."

What a corny show!! I should have known that he would pick the one that from the VERY start, they showed her as the wrong one. The love/hate relationships hardly ever work out. I'd love to see where this went after 2 months.

The Little Black Book.

Okay, I only made it through the first elimination on this one and couldn't stand any more. Which one did he pick and did she tell him to go spit? :-)

Max: He picked Grace--the one with long, dark hair. No, she didn't tell him "to go spit". She seemed to be thrilled with the outcome.

Who knows? Maybe these two really do deserve each other.

LOL. I think they definitely do. Two people who argue all the time and then have passionate sex. Gosh. Sounds like a match made in heaven! LOL

Seems to me he'd most enjoy having a mirror nearby with a pretty gal holding it for him. But then, I only watched the first hour, so I don't really "know" him.

No loss, Max.. I FF thru. He narrowed it down to three, a blonde who first lectured him that his job as a bartender wouldn't be good for them, too many distractions for him.. then she panicked and backpedaled, but she confessed to the camera that she had a deep well of lonliness she wanted him to fill.. and another dark haired girl that I don't remember well.. but she was sent home first.

He took the blonde and his choice and they met his nephew.. the blonde related well to the nephew, the winner isn't comfortable around kids so that was a negative but she did seem more comfortable with HIM.

Just a stupid show.

I guess the only tiny bright spot was that he didn't have the typical blonde fetish that most of the bachelor types do.

The accents were so thick they resorted to subtitles at times.

What a bore this show was. Glad it was only on one night so I don't waste any more time. Lol.

I didn't like either one of his final 2. The dark haired girl just seemed like trouble, plus she didn't like kids? Did she say she couldn't think of being romantic with him? I thought his main interest in her was the passionate roll in the hay. I was confused.

The blonde gal was a bit of a sour puss. She wanted to change him -- can't say I blame her as being married to a bartender is not going to impress her friends, but you can't blame the guy for feeling like he wasn't good enough for her image of him.

The show felt rushed and the ending felt like a cheat for what would have happened in real life anyway: he hooks up again with the girl he can't get along with anywhere but in bed. Boo.

Since I had given up 2 hours of my night to watch this show... I had to go and read the letters Skip gave each girl. They finally are up if anyone is interested Letters

Pretty Pathetic

Ok,is the one he picked the dark haired one who was his "last" girlfriend? I didn't make it past the first 15 min. or so. We had rented "Band Of Brothers". Time well-spent. They actually had subtitles? Too funny!

Why oh why oh why did you do it?

Our local Chamber of Commerce must be so proud (NOT!) of our local Skipper and his harem representing Charlotte so well on national tv. What a complete waste of 2 hours, thank goodness I had a ton of ironing to divert my attention. At least the location they filmed at outside McClellanville, SC was beautiful.

Thanks, Broxi. Don't worry Beachcomber - no one is going to hold this mess against the good people of Charlotte. We all have some of "those kind" in our hometowns, too. :-)
