Is anyone else feeling a bit disappointed about the remaining women? Before the rose ceremony, I thought it was obvious who he'd dump, and I was *wrong*! I really felt sorry for Suzie, especially since they were shown getting hot-n-heavy together under the tent. Shame on Jesse, is all I have to say. And where's the connection with Mandy? I don't see it at all. Trish-well, I figured it was inevitable since I don't think he's connecting much with any of the others and well, you know, with her..... Jessie seems to have a good connection with him-I would put her in the running for the ring, except for the above possible spoiler OTOH, the thing with Tara just seems too forced, so I would say that the spoiler is probably a misdirection, like we've always gotten in the past. I like Karen, but didn't see her with him in the end. She seems like a quality person, though, and I think what she said to him at the end was great. She reminds me of the pig-tailed girl on the Bachelor Andrew show. Very natural and normal. But for some reason, I'm not all that excited right now about the end, whereas in the past, I've always been rooting for someone. Before this show started, I was not too interested in following it because it seemed like Jesse wasn't acting overly hyped about the ending, but now I can understand why......

There is no spoiler. I just feel it is next to impossible for Trish to win with the job the others have done on her and also the job she did herself

Oops, I meant *Jessica* seeming like the best match for him at this point, not Jessie! Although could you just imagine communication between them? "Jess?" "Yes, Jess.." Magic, I was referring to the E Online spoiler from Serobken. No, I agree there is no way Trish can win. Did you hear her talking about the friend/spy? She was practically dripping evil when she was saying that the spy wasn't there to interfere with Jessie's decision. The only thing that bothers me about Jessica is that she seems to carry herself very poorly, like she has poor self esteem (which is hard to imagine, given her accomplishments). When she walked over to accept the rose, I cringed. She's very pretty-I wish she would walk with more grace and confidence, I guess.

Highlighter I totally agree with the points you made in your post. There isn't one girl I am rooting for or even feel like I know or like. And the only one I see him having true chemistry with is the one least deserving of winning anything, but there is no accounting for chemistry. I think it's why we've all (well I shoudln't speak for anyone else but I will for me and my friends) have dated guys we knew in our heads were wrong but just couldn't resist. Of course I never behaved in a skankalicious manner (can I say it if it's about me?). Well ok maybe just once but I ended up going out with him for 8 years and almost marrying him and I would have if he didn't die...but I digress lol. So who do I want to win? Beats me. And as for the stalker we already saw Trish run after him tonight. Clearly she is used to getting what she wants so my money is she gets the boot next week. After all, no matter how attracted to her he is this is going on TV and the team and his publicist not to mention Jenny and her DH would shoot him if he didn't boot her. So my $$$ is on her demanding another chance. How absurd though that they are this far in the process and not everyone has had a one on one date with him, as Karen pointed out. And they wonder why folks aren't falling in love or this working out more.

I really don't think Trish will be broken hearted. She is much more sopfisticated than the other women in my opinion. I would love to see her on BB. The funniest thing to me is the other women actually think Jesse is planning on marrying one of them. That's not going to happen any time soon.

I think Trish wants to win, but is doing this for "future projects". I'm watching now, on my dvr and he's going to see the parents of the ones he chose tonight.. so at least we get to see Trish's parents Maybe he's curious too ..

I have to watch our local news (KOMO Channel 4 in Seattle)-- there was a little blip about how NBC may not have anymore Bachelor shows. I think they spoiled it for themselves when they picked a professional athlete as Bachelor instead of someone no-one has ever heard of. I think someone also said the ratings for this Bachelor have not done too well at all. Probably the biggest ratings draw is how long Trish will stay, but I don't think she will be around after next week. I have no idea who he will pick. It will be a complete toss up to me.

It seems to me anyway, that the shows have eliminated people much faster than they used to and you don't get as much time to get to know any of them that well. I also thought in the past there were only 3 hometown dates and then they went to the two, but that was changed the last time. The best thing about this show is the "chit" going on among the women, since the whole concept of a pro football player needing to be a bachelor to find a woman, esp. at his age and with his looks, was ridiculous. I wasn't even going to watch this show, but it looked juicy at the beginning, but now that it's getting down to so few, it doesn't seem as interesting as before. I can't believe he said all that stuff about Suzy and then got all hot and heavy w/her and then sent her packing. The ending has been rushed also. None of Chris sitting and giving the advice or watching videos from the girls either. At least we know it can only be one of two blondes now who has her head hanging ....... lol I couldn't believe he kept Trish, but then again, he talked about his "waking up w/strangers" so I guess he wouldn't want to throw his football through his own glass house.

I think I am over the Bachelor and will stick to the Bachelorette. Women and men choose so differently. Watching who the guys choose and why makes me ill whereas the women truly are looking for life mates. The guys don't get the first impression out of their head and they stick with the hot chick till the end. I feel they're rushing it too. I can't believe we're already on the hometown dates and not one mention of love, really. I stated weeks ago that the stalker thing was edited. The footage they showed in slo-mo of a woman coming in was his dressup date with Tara(I think) and his look was one of admiration but in slo-mo it looked like horror. I think the stalker may have been the ditzy girl feeling him up because they haven't mentioned it since then. And the spy thing was good but didn't last long enough. Besides, she's all worried the girls will hate her but they know where their bread is buttered. Now they feel they have an "in" with the friend so they were going to kiss ass. As Randy would say..."I'm just not feelin it, Dawg."

I think this show has been rushed as well. There has been absolutely no chemistry built up with anyone (except with Trish...Jesse} cannot resist her). I think it's ridiculous that there are not more one-on-one dates...to be eliminated at this point and never had a one-on-one doesn't seem fair. Wonder if they're trying to save money? LOL!

But it's so true what Fabnsab said about how guys choose the women. With men, I think sexual chemistry plays a big part in their choices. They aren't thinking, well...she seems sweet...she might bake a banging tray of cookies or sew a fine seam! They want someone they know that sparks will fly between the sheets. Women, generally speaking are more into the 'nesting' thing and will overlook a man's physical flaws for other virtues. Think about it...how often have you seen a chick with a guy and you think, "what the heck is she thinking?" You never see that with guys...they never date a woman less attractive than themselves.

There's no doubt in my mind that if Trish is not the last girl standing it will be because of the info he got from Jenny. Without her input there's no way Jesse would not choose Trish. He is just that attracted to her!

I was thinking about it, and I think you are right, Lori. I think that he is feeling the pressure of being on tv, and that is why he felt obligated to quiz Trish like that on the blanket. It just seemed so stilted, and I think it's because he knows that he is being very double-standard about the whole thing. I mean, fgs, he admitted basically that he sleeps around big time. Where does he get off questioning her sleeping around? I would have turned it around and asked what assurance there was that *he* wouldn't be sleeping around once they were married. *Not* that I'm a Trish fan, but I think the whole quizzing of Trish's sex life by Jessie was a setup (if *anything*, knowing guys, the part about her having been with a woman was probably a plus;), and that he is still really really attracted to her and not to the others. Even though I'm very straightlaced IRL , the sex talk bothered me less than her attitude about being a gold-digger and towards children.

Rupertbear, I sort of agree with you but honestly, I think there are a lot more attractive women out there. When I took my husband to my ten year high school reunion he was floored that there were so many attractive women. Out of a class of 500 I would say there were 50 attractive women to every attractive guy. That's why you see so many more attractive women with average men. No slam on the men but until a few years ago men hardly did anything to enhance their physical appearance. Back in the day, at least my day we were lucky if a guy combed his hair. My daughter has routinely commented on the fact that an average looking girl is happy with an average guy, but an average looking guy wants a Victoria Secrets model. I don't know if it's the whole "trophy" thing or not. I should say that I do not feel that all men are like this. Of course not, but I do think a lot of men would take looks over substance. One question. Does anyone know if Trish is a model? I just wonder what her situation is as far as employment/income. She's 28 yrs. old and she did mention college, yet she says she wouldn't marry a poor man. I wonder why she can't make her own income.

This show just isn't holding my interest like previous Bachelors did. I'm not taking part in any polls, I do other things while the show is on. Very unlike me. Jesse is BORING. I don't care about football, and every other date revolves around it. Don't the producers realize a lot of WOMEN watch this show? I have never found football players all that hot anyway. Jesse's cute, but the whole sports lifestyle bores me to tears. Give me a businessman or doctor over this guy, please. I don't have a good sense of most of the women (except Karen--I liked her, and of course, the "star of the show" Trish), but after their party, they seem like the type of women who would fit with a pro athlete! Not a slam, just an observation. The dates are boring, the personalities are non-existant, and Jesse is really bugging me. Slobbering over all the women, including Suzie who he promptly dumps. Ugh. I really have no sense he's "falling" for any of them. He's just in this for the fame--again. A la Bob. PLEASE find better Bachelors, ABC! Or stick with Bachelorettes. No wonder Jesse likes Trish--she's one of the few who doesn't blend in with the crowd. But after he knows all that about her--and she manages to convince him every time he has doubts--he still keeps her. This makes me think even less of him. He's gullible with a capital G. Or he really doesn't care and isn't all about family like he claims. ITA that her sexual past isn't as big a deal as her gold-digging ways and dislike of children. If she was blindly in love with the married guy, I could easily forgive that transgression. If it was a fun experiment, not so much. BTW, Trish is looking uglier every week. Those bug eyes when she realized the hole she'd dug for herself were hilarious! So much for being so "sophisticated." Idiot chick. Sophisticated women don't blab about their past indiscriminately. << SPOILER?? SPACE >> My husband said on a sports show they talked with Jesse last weekend, and Jesse basically said he doesn't choose Trish. His agent probably told him not to. Bad publicity. P.S.--Trish's claimed profession is model. She's 28, though, which really limits her career. Probably why she went on the Bachelor, to land a rich husband.

Give a guy 25 hot women, and he acts like a greedy pooh stuck with a huge honey jar. Ring a bell? - enter Bachelor 1,2,3,4 and 5 (and still counting), I don't mind kissing on dates but it seems that it's all they do, well most of the time anyway. All claimed that there's not much time to get to know each other given the time frame, but they all just take 'enjoy the moment' route - perhaps that's how men get to know women. No wonder Every one of the 4 shows resulted in break-ups not too soon after the cameras stop rolling. I bet this one will be no exception in the end, how sad.

Yeah, Jesse's gross. It's like he feels it's de rigur to make out with the chicks, just because they're THERE. No thought as to whether he wants to keep them. Just, hey, she wants me, so lets mack!! He's portraying the worst sort of stereotype of jocks, IMO. Shallow, disrespectful of women, thinking with his you know--ick ick ick!

Avery, I agree with what you're saying. As far as guys wanting a 'trophy', for the most part I think that's very true also. But in fairness to them, I must say I think there are still many women out there who look on men as a 'wallet'. I have four sons...I know of which I speak, lol ;) To be honest if you look at it biologically...men are looking for a good looking woman to carry their children, to help them make 'pretty' descendants and women are looking for a partner who can amply provide for any progeny plus in Trish's case, the Mercedes, the spas, the hi-rise penthouse....lol ;)

ok new idea for a the BAchelorette. Pick TRISH and then have 15 millionare men. Once she chooses her guy you "tell" her that he is really not rich LIKE JOE MILLIONARE and after she decides wether to stay with him or not reveal that in fact, he really is rich . SO if she dumps him she will kick herself in the ass and if she keeps him then she gets the guy, the money, and everyone's awwwww reaction" for staying with the "poor" guy. If anyone was ever perfect for that kind of scenario it's Trish. I must say that I think he really likes her. I do htink he probably quizzed her because he knows this is on tv and of his image and what people think. If he chooses her then he has big ones! Knowing that Jenny despises her or it could be the editing and from now on they might start showing a sweet side to her and then when he chooses her Jenny comes on tv and says that she misjudged her and gives her a big hug........hmmmmmm nah......don't think so but you never know. Now more then ever I think it will be Trish in the final 2. I also think he really likes Jessica B. He was the one that told her first that he liked her. Remember Meredith pulling quiet Matthew aside and telling him something similar? I don't reallylike any of them too much but if I have to pick I will pick Mandy although I don't think she will be there in the end. She just seems a bit more mature then the rest. What is going on with these young girls wanting to get married??????????? Too early IMHO.

Why does Janet Jackson's song "Nasty Boys" keep running through my head???? Nasty boys don't mean a thing Oh you nasty boys don't mean a thing to me Nasty... don't mean a thing Oh you nasty boys (I like this part) Hey! Who's that thinkin' nasty thoughts? Nasty boys! Who's that in that nasty car? Nasty boys! Who's that eatin' that nasty fruit? Nasty boys! Who's jammin' to my nasty groove? Nasty boys! Ladies? Nasty boys don't mean a thing Oh you nasty boys

Rupertbear, LOL! A wallet. I've never heard that one. I guess it's true though. I come from a family with five girls and we all have careers. I put my nursing career on hold for a few years when the kids were younger but I can't imagine not being able to provide for myself. It seems especially odd in 2004. I guess if you marry a super-rich guy then that is your jackpot of sorts. It's scary to me that someone would put all their eggs in that basket though. Even in the 70's my mom told all of us girls to make our own lives first with college, a job, something.
