I had a thought/realization while reading the posts. I think many of us agree we don't have any sense of the majority of the bachelorette's, haven't been too taken by Jesse, and how rushed it seems (I would love to know if the other shows zipped along at this speed). Reading it I connected some dots to form a theory and how I came to it. I think these dates have become so magical and romantic that they don't lend themselves to really talking and getting to know each other, just some fantasy. Where does fantasy lead?? Kissing etc. Ok great--part 2. Jesse. Almost everything out of his mouth to me has sounded planned, rehearsed, and either what the show wants him to say OR what his PR folks want him to say or likely a combo. Now this is why I think The Bachelor is going down the tubes. I give, as an example, Bob from the Bachelorette. As a contestant he was fun to watch, and we all fell in love w/him. But as The Bachelor what did we get? A lot of the smooth talk, no personality and what? A lot of kissing lol. So to me until they a show like this gives folks some time together even if they don't air it all (tell me how they are supposed to fall in love with anyone after what 2 or 3 dates?) and longer to get to know each other, and let's the folks they cast be themselves and show their personalities, not read from a script, I thin they will all be a big yawn. Bob is, I think, Living proof I'm right. We don't know about Jesse but we KNOW Bob can be fun, and funny, and enjoyable to watch but they made him this robotic fab bachelor. When will they get that isn't what we want?????? Sigh.

I think this one seems so rushed because so much time has been spent focusing on "the spy" and not the women themselves. Plus the "look what a bad girl Trish is" thing is taking up a lot of time. OK, OK, we got the point already. Personally I wonder if she really has had all the experiences that she says she has had OR if she feels uncomfortable being one of the older women and is trying to act more sophisticated in a very immature way. I would not be surprised if half of what she said is not true. Being a bad girl myself, I know we know how to keep our mouths shut!

Lol, Alison Well, Lurk, I think they need to cut down on the number of women, in the first place. Twelve would be plenty to start off with I think, then we'd have more 'face time' for each of them. And Jesse...well, I keep remembering his football buddies at the start of the show. They didn't want him to say/do anything embarrassing...so I think he feels certain constraints as to what he can do/say.

Here's a little tidbit I picked up online: <<According to the Enquirer Jesse ditched the ring the show provided and gave the girl an open-ended plane ticket and said "Let's see where this goes. Come see me.">>

Jasper and Magicjet- Oh you are so right, Trish would be a riot on BB! Gets me all excited for the new season- only a couple of months now!

Interesting, RB. I, for one, wasn't at all surprised that he kept Trish. His hormones are obviously directing that decision. But is she really all that bad? Who doesn't have a "past" at the age of 28? What does he want, a virgin? Fat chance! As far as his kissing all the women, I was really grossed out during the group date where he was kissing them all consecutively. Ick!!! Maybe he brushed his teeth off-camera in-between, but if not . . . just ICK!!!! And Texannie (I think it was you!), I'm with you on the "one last rose" thing. Even though he never stepped out and said it (THANK YOU, TPTB!!), I was still saying in my head, "Ladies, there is only one final rose left tonight!"

Yes Trish would be perfect for BB but I would dispise the automatic "hate" posts that would insue. Like it or not, this show has been the "Trish" show. If it weren't for her, I would have never kept watching. What I can't stand every year is the collection of women who's main goal seems to be to convince the Bachlor(sp) and the viewers how virtuous they are. If you have to go to those goody goody extremes and tear others down in the process, the goal ends up not being so virtuous does it? Thank You Trish for at least being entertaining and if nobody eles liked you, I did, so screw them.

I agree with Realfan's plea to PLEASE find better bachelors. Do most women REALLY find these 'players' more appealing than say a doctor or a businessman who is seriously looking for a mate? Would like to see a 'real man' on the show for once. Kissing does not this show make.

The one bachelor that truly sickened me was bachelor Bob. If he came near me, I'd have a fit. This guy must have paid someone to be brought back to be the bachelor. He's the kind you try to avoid being with at a party and the kind that tries to corner you. Imo.

Oh, no...Alex grossed me out. I couldn't stand watching him. He gave me the heeby-jeebies! There didn't seem to be a sincere bone in his body. Andrew is still my fave but I will watch them women choose over the men any day.

I just saw a commercial the other night to go to a certain nightspot here to audition for the Bachelor. This is the second "casting call" they've put out in our area in 6 mo. Hopefully, they are looking for an "regular" bachelor. I think they should cast more Bachelorette shows since those have been the most successful, plus they get to include more guys in the show than women and I'd bet more women watch this show than men.

I don't think any guy in his right mind, who is a decent sort would even consider coming on a reality show to find a partner. The premise is ridiculous. Most of these people apply, I believe to garner their 15 mins of fame. I look upon this show as 'supposed' entertainment value and the ones who apply must know they're basically filling a pair of shoes. I think this shows days are numbered...it's becoming a bore. At least with the Playing It Straight show, there was a little twist in there to keep us guessing.

I'd rather see Trish (If I HAVE to see her again) on Fear Factor or on Survivor.. I'm sure there's other Stingrays, Sharks, Leeches or whatever, out there..

ROFL!!!!! Oh you are all just so creatively funny!!! Now if only some producers would see the potential of getting some hardcore reality tv fans on the payroll to help them come up with some refreshing ideas! Hey, Fox might go for the Trish & Omarosa show - they could box, go swimming with sharks, eat other contestants... ooops.. nevermind. LOL! I saw a little Bachelor overview show on E. Chris was on there and said that Bob told all the women from the beginning he was going to "bus" them all (kiss?!) and BED THEM ALL!!! GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!!! Even Alec was saying that when Bob lost the weight, he lost the goofy endearing qualities that people liked about him in the Bachelorette. I didn't see the whole thing, but what I did, was some interesting behind-the-scenes type stuff. Maybe they'll rerun it?

FIONA from Mad, Mad House can be the Hostess of this show. How about Coral and Veronica from Real World/Road Rules? What about some of those whiner women who were on Amazing Race? Didn't that one winning pair include a woman who constantly degraded her partner? I'm not so sure that I agree about Alison from BB being eligible. She was pretty much just stuck on herself. How about NICOLE? What about Kristin from Bachelor also? The one that was the runner up for Andrew Firestone? (I actually think he may have been better off with her - she wanted the kind of lifestyle he has, unlike Jen.) I like this topic! : )
