I wonder sometimes if there isn't something in the contract that allows the producers to have input on the bachelor(ette)'s selections up until the last rose. Trish is obviously mercurial (with mercenary tendencies). It's just too odd that Jesse would give her the first impression rose and then choose her for the first date without some outside influence. Remember too, he's getting much more exposure to the women than we are privy to. He could be having in-depth interactions with the others, which aren't being shown. Trish is a real life representation of whatsername in "Just Shoot Me."

Poo. I thought Ms.Take was the spy until someone ratted out that the spy-girl is married to his best bud. That's her, right? Anyway, smooth move telling everyone about being bored with all of those one night stands with all of those strange women, lol! Can anyone say "Blood Tests!!!"?

Was Jesse married before? I thought he said he was single now, as if he wasn't earlier. It was rather touching when he talked about going to the family parking lot and seeing wives and children of other players. On the fashion scene, I didn't like the yellow round neck sweat shirt Jesse wore on the first group date. It was not flattering. The muted scenes of Trish in her thong made her look huge.

I wondered that too,Dogdoc, he keeps talking about being single for 2 years. I also thought Trish's hair looked better before Christophe did it!

LOL...yes if I were the one he picked, I would demand a blood test pronto! Interesting that he is not listening to Jenny re: Trish. I wonder if Trish is the one Jenny is referring to when she tells Jesse "if you marry that kind of woman, I won't be your friend." Pretty strong words. Trish is making this show very interesting...not to mention Jenny the Spy!

p.s. I couldn't agree more Texannie. Trish's hair looked MUCH better before Christophe got ahold of it!

Oh my goodness! I didn't realize that you're not allowed to call someone (Jesse) something even as mild as akin to being a nitwit on this board! I do apologize and hope I remember that in the future.....

All the contestants get blood tests before the show, so that's not a concern. But Jesse's lack of decorum in discussing one-night stands at dinner is a concern, for sure! Isn't that the sort of intimate details you share with a girl you're really beginning a relationship with, not a roomful? Then again, I guess he's "starting" a relationship with all of them at once. I, of course, can't stand the very self-centered Trish. She's the type to have kids and foist them off on nannies and send them to military school. God forbid they hug her with sticky fingers, they might muss her hair! I thought it was interesting how Jesse didn't really hear Trish's take on kids. He heard what he wanted to hear. And she maneuvered it around to make him happy with conceding two kids and "not right away" bit. If Jesse doesn't listen to his friend, he's an idiot. I think if he liked Trish, but heard so many negative things, it would be natural to re-evaluate and ask Trish some very tough questions--which I hope happens next week, or Jesse's really stupid. However, we all know Trish isn't his final pick, as she's being edited to be the villain! I'm sad Mandy the soccer player left. I liked her. Tara seems really nice, and I like the funny Jessica, too. Katie seemed ditzy when she accepted her rose and slouched away! Rupertbear, I love the mods on this board, but even though I've been posting here for years, I get moded--did just yesterday. I wish there was a list of exact terms we were not to use or something. I am always sure my posts will past muster, then I see the mod edited it, which invariably takes me by surprise. As we're discussing TV show people's personalities and what we think of them, it's really hard not to use basic terms sometimes.

Realfan, Thanks for reminding me of the soccer player's name..Mandy. I kept noticing her last night and she always had the deer in the headlights look on her face. She even seemed sad. Maybe she didn't really like Jesse after all. I noticed she was in the second group date and she had a sour look on her face after Jesse let loose with the "waking up to a stranger" comment, as did a few of the other girls last night after that comment was made. I was just so surprised because Mandy seemed so outgoing during the first show and she seemed to make a positive impression on Jesse. During this show it seemed like all the wind had gone out of her sails.

LOL Rupertbear...I found that out during our discussion of Trading Spaces home free. Guess NO negative names, no matter how mild are ok. And I agree Realfan...got modded on that thread and so much last year for stuff I didn't understand that I left for awhile (this will probably be modded too lol)...BUT I sure wish they would post EXACTLY what is or isn't ok...then we could follow the rules. This isn't a complaint just a helpful support of a good suggestion . So if I avoid ALL negative comments to be safe I guess that means I won't be discussing Trish at all lol. Other than to say I can't wait to see how Jesse responds to his friend Jenny the Spy's comment that if he marries someone like Trish they could never be friends. She sure is laying it on the line, and clearly a good friend trying to protect him from prey LOL. I think his choices will show if he really is here to find a decent woman or just more window dressing that he could find chasing him after any game.

The funny thing is, Lurk, I don't think Trish is all that pretty! I think she has a horsey face. and of course anyone with her egocentric personality won't come off as very pretty anyway.

Trish reminds me of Kristen(?)- Andrew Firestone was so smitten with her for a long time - well she was his final two pick! I wonder if Trish will last that long, probably not since Jenny may play a role in Jessie's decision making, we'll see.

I thought Trish was gorgeous! She was my pick the first week as the most stunning. But, boy, her attitude and personality are making her less pretty each minute. I can't stand her. Not a smooth move by Jesse, talking about waking up next to a stranger. But I'm surprised so many of the girls seemed so shocked by it. He's a pro football player and single. He's going to have tons of women slipping their phone numbers in his pocket at every turn. I'm impressed that he admits he took advantage of it and is now bored with it and ready for the real thing.

Realfan & Lurknomore...thanks for explaining it to me.I too was kinda shocked today with the deletion of a word I thought was totally innocuous. Ah well, such are the vagaries of life ;) (oh yeah...a list or guideline would be helpful!) I saw Kristin K. on the news last night. She's the one that's the medical student from Dearborn, Mi. She told him not to waste a rose on her. Well, in the interview she basically reiterated that she knew she wouldn't be his wife...I think she realized there was no attraction...on his part anyway. And at that point in time, she'd already lost three weeks in med. school...so, smart girl that she is, she decided to cut her losses and bail...returning to school.

Note about moderating--it isn't so much a term that gets moderated--it's how you use it. Call someone an idiot, it will be moderating. Saying they acted like an idiot because of doing a, b and c, and it won't get moderated. While it may seem like a minor point, the first is a comment about the person themselves--passing judgment on who and what they are. The second case is discussing their actions, and the quality of such. It makes no reference as to the character of the person. Example #1--He wasted a rose on her--he is stupid. Example #2--I think it was a stupid action to waste a rose on her. #1 is a comment about him personally. #2 is a comment about his actions. Intelligent people make stupid mistakes all the time--it doesn't make them stupid.

Trish looks just like one of the models in a Bare Escentuals infomercial that's running now. I wonder if it's her?

Lancecrossfire, aren't specific words also get moderated? For instance, can you say someone acted like an ass? Or she acted bitchy? (not saying he's an ass and she's a , respectively). I have searched the faqs for a list of no-no terms and not found one. If there is one, I'd love to read it.

It's a shame I think Trish SEEMS to be saying a lot of what she says for shock value. How close her words are to her real feelings I'm not so sure. I say it's a shame because she and Jesse are positively stunning together. So far I'm rooting for her for that reason alone. And on a side note re: board moderation. I admin a board that is the extreme opposite end of the spectrum. With a possible few exceptions, pretty much anything goes with the understanding that posters are expected to self-moderate and be respectful to one another. I never delete or edit posts, only move a thread to another section of the board when arguments get too heated so that the two posters can work it out on their own. It is perhaps the most civil, most pleasant board I have ever been a member of and I think my "hands-off" approach has a great deal to do with it. I do appreciate all the hard work that everyone does on this board because I know you are volunteering your time but I must say the fear of having my post modded because of what I consider to be an innocuous comment keeps me away from here more than any other reason.

Our local news (Seattle, KOMO - Channel 4) had a little snippet about Bachelor Bob being angry and bitter with ABC or someone. Something about him refusing to do something. I could not stay awake to listen to the late news. Did anyone else hear anything about this?

Well Lance...I can see totally what you're saying but I guess because I was saying the word (twit) in a jokey manner...lol...I certainly don't dislike the guy...I was kinda surprised that it was deleted. Huh...wonder if a smiley face would have made a difference, to indicate I was just kidding? But I see now how I have to couch my comments...thanks.

Realfan, while I think that Trish is attractive externally, I think you hit the nail on the head. WE have been privy to her personality, and since hearing how she spoke and her different tone of voice with the women vs Jesse, her inner ickiness now affects how attractive I find her to be. It reminds me of a guy I knew. He was over for dinner one night and the conversation went back and forth and each time he became mean I swear his looks turned downright ugly to me. But when he would be the guy I thought he was he went back to good looking. But after this happened a few times I really opened my eyes and realized that how good looking someone is really is in my eyes is affected by how attractive they are on the inside. Hey kewl Rupert we got modded on the same word LOLOL. One I never really thought of as too bad a word, rather more a personality type .

Oh Rvon.....forgot to say...I thought I heard they gave him grief about releasing a CD. Didn't really pay it that much attention beyond thinking how foolish it is since it would mutually promote him etc. But maybe it was because he did it without getting their permission and the way I understand it these shows own you for either a year or two depending on the show. I don't know the full story but least I think that was the issue.

Wasn't he being sued by the Bachelor production company because of that CD? Back on last night's show . . . Besides Trish, I hate Julie. I hope when she has kids the boy is a brainy geek who can't throw a football more than five feet and the girl is a Tomboy who hates cheerleading. Just 'cuz.

Julie drives me crazy. I can't believe Jesse actually takes her seriously. I loved it when he asked her what she plans to do after cheerleading cuz "you can't do that for long" and she gave him some half-baked about a children's center. Yeah right!

Lol, Lurk...ya know I speent my childhood in England & Ireland & to use that word is ...well, almost a term of endearment over there. I looked it up in Encarta & it has two meanings. According to them it's an 'offensive term' (lol...news to me!) and the second is 'teasing someone playfully'...so there ya have it Lurk. ;)

Yep, Julie's a little scary. I'm surprised he didn't cut her at the rose ceremony cause she's a little too into the whole football thing (didn't her eliminate someone else cause they were too much into the quarterback image?). I like her cause she's from my hometown (Sacramento), but she's a little scary. I'll bet she's the stalker! As far as Trish and her not liking children with sticky faces, how could you not love this sticky bunny face:

Thanks! He was enjoying his first ever chocolate Easter bunny. Think most of it ended up on his face and hands. I have to say, I know what she means about those sticky kids in the grocery store. You know the ones who have food and boogers all over their faces and just look icky? I would never take my son out in public like that. Those kids just look like their mothers don't care enough to wipe their faces!

Been quite a few years since mine were that small. I agree Babyjaxmom. Or they don't even bother putting clean clothes on the kid. Breakfast & lunch are spilled all over what they are wearing.
