I don't quite 'get' the relevance of comments about the younger women looking.... well.... younger than Trish. Of course they don't look as mature or sophisticated as a 28-yr-old, but imagine how they'll look in 5-7 yrs. I think they are extremely pretty for their age I'm sure Trish looked quite different when she was 21

No big relevance really, Buggles. Just us over analyzing everything because we can. I guess I just felt he looked significantly older than they did. They looked like kids to me but hey, no biggie, huh? lol

Actually I respectfully think there is a relevance...not so much to compare them to Trish other than to compare the maturity difference between 21 year old girls and older women. I've always felt around 25 is when folks really start coming into their own, as they had a few years of real life experience under their belt. Granted there are no set ages for this, and I do agree that Tara sounded VERY mature in the clip after the dissing lol. But I do think that for for the most part these girls dressed like women but were still very young to be making grown up choices like marriage. AGain not to say it can't work ,but it's certainly harder. And I have far less of a problem with Jessica changing law schools (or lack of it lol) than I do with them not seeing each other at all since this ended. Doesn't sound like much of a relationship to me. But time will tell.

RB, I thought Jesse looked older too ... and originally thought no way could he be seriously attracted to Tara, as he seemed to prefer 'maturity.' LNM, I see what you're saying. I just thought the age-related comments here were more centered on looks tho than maturity... and thought, well of course Trish looks more like a woman - she's 28! I honestly thought Jessica seemed very mature for her age. And I'd say ready for marriage, except I worry about her judgment in 'picking' Jesse lol But I can relate to her as I got married & also went to law school at her age... both worked out just fine. I remember feeling so annoyed that 'older adults' didn't take me as seriously as I felt they should have... and really in hindsight I think my feelings were justified. But when I look at younger people now... I can see how easy it is to think of them as clueless, yet I try to remind myself that someone can have a very mature mind in a very young-looking package. Like I did, lol!

Trish was on Jimmy Kimmel live and she pretty much confirmed the blurb about Tara storming off the set. I didn't catch at the time she was talking about a tiff between her and Tara, but she did say something to the effect that she thought if someone was going to dish things out, they ought to be able to take it. The thing is, WHY is Trish there anyway? None of the After the Rose shows(at least that I recall) have included other people than the final person chosen and the one who wasn't. Trish looked a lot prettier to me on Jimmy's show than she ever did on the Bachelor. Maybe it was because she seemed more relaxed and was having fun talking. She also said she thought Jesse and Jessica were really cute together and he made the right choice. Kathy Griffen was also on and she "loved Trish" on the show and "hated Tara" so she had some pretty funny comments. Trish just seemed overall a lot nicer than she did on the show, but she also wasn't talking about who she had slept with and how much she disliked kids.. etc. LOL

I did have to laugh at Trish's still saying she "took the high road" and didn't stoop to any of the others 'catty' games...and then they showed her saying things about the others ...and her response being "it wasn't as bad as the things they called me!" .... I think that they had Trish on last night because she will be a future batchelorette and they want to keep her face in front of us! . . . You know we'll watch to see if they can come up with 28 guys who want to be with her ..and how many she'll kiss and whatever else with!

Yeah, if that's Trish taking the "high road" I'd hate to see her low road. She didn't improve her image at all with me. She's such a striking beauty until<nk>. She'll probably be fine (<nk>) as the Bachelorette because there won't be any women around to bring her claws out for, just men to adore and admire her. No, Texannie, you didn't miss anything.

I visited on commercials from AI. The host asked if they were still in love and Jessica nodded with a straight face and Jesse's response was low key and not genuine. Very obvious they were together until their obligations were finnished. He mentioned that his career was very iffy as to where he would be. That, in response to the question if Jessica was moving to NY. A snarky confrontation between Tara and Trish offered little entertainment. They showed clips of them talking badly about each other and got haughty with each other for a bit. That is all I saw. Someone else may come along and fill in some more.

I watched a few minutes, the bit between Trish & Tara. Trish was digging to find out if the 'inappropriate' comment meant Tara had slept with Jesse. I think she was going for the 'people in glass houses angle'... lol. Boy did this show ever go out with a whimper! ;)

I watched almost the whole show. What I found most interesting was the editing of Jen's segment. (Jen from the Andrew Firestone Bach. show) They made it seem that she was saying that she and Andrew ended up hating each other and that she went from tires and wine to Trump and whatever. The editing made it seem that she was still with Bill. That was during the teaser for the upcoming segment. Jen actually said that she and Andrew weren't getting along and that it was a sad break up. She said they are now friends. She said it was better that they break up before they both ended up hating each other. She also said that she and Bill only had a couple of dates. they are no longer dating and were not a couple. Jesse and Jessica did not seem to be in love as they (or at least one of them) said. Jessica did very little talking. Maybe they just don't have a lot of charisma alone or as a couple. Maybe they are really in love and just don't project enough entertainment value. I'm sure we'll know soon enough. I thought Trish was awful on the show last night. I never liked her. My opinion of her actually went down a little after last night's show. She said she didn't say bad things behind people's backs (or as many bad things behind Tara's back as Tara did say about her)...something like that. Yet, in the studio and during the taping of the series in the house, Trish did call Tara a b*tch. I don't remember if Tara ever called Trish that name. I think that name is worse than anything Tara ever called Trish. (or, at least, as bad - if Tara ever called Trish that name) I hope Trish does not become the next Bachelorette. Don't know if I'll watch if she does. I think they had Trish and Jen (previous Bach. show) on last night because they just couldn't fill the hour with Jesse and Jessica, either because they lack entertainment charisma because they just do, or they lack it because they are not really together. I liked Tara even more last night. She didn't storm off the set, she just left. She saw that the producers were just trying to instigate something. She was calm and cool, imo.

Re: Tara's comment about Jesse saying and doing inappropriate things on their last alone date...Chris asked them both about it. He didn't push a lot or grill them. Tara said that during the final rose ceremony, she wasn't really thinking about all of America watching this and listening to her, that she was just concentrating on what she wanted to say to Jesse. Jesse said he didn't feel anything was inappropriate and didn't mean to lead Tara on. What I got from the dialogue was that Tara felt Jesse had crossed some boundaries and that Jesse felt he hadn't crossed them so far as to be inappropriate. Trish seemed to be trying to say to Tara that she thought Tara and Jesse slept together and because of that Tara shouldn't be talking negatively about Trish sleeping around. But, there is no way Trish could know if Jesse and Tara slept together for sure. IMO, Trish was out of line and a bit immature to bring that whole thing up.

I thought Trish was awful...she may be 28 but she has a long way to go before she is mature. Her whole attitude is just nasty. I thought Tara handled herself very well. The best part of the show were the outakes. Did you get a gander on Jesse's table manners...horrendous! Talks with his mouth full...chews with his mouth wide open (full of food, no less)...<nk>. If I were Jessica I'd send him for some etiquette classes in table manners. YUCK!

Lori - I agree. The outakes WERE the best part of the show. I taped it and it was a snooooze! They made it sound sooooo juicy on their teasers and then came back to discount every single one of them. I don't recall another After-show where so many others were included. Hmm..makes me wonder about this couple. They certainly couldn't fill a whole hour w/them and just the one he didn't pick. Jesse's table manners and stumbling over his words would have been a major turnoff for me. He wasn't just talking fast like his teammates said, I thought he was totally stammering. I was wondering if they were just repeating the bit over and over again to make it funny and then I realized it was actually how he was talking. Ok, a bit of nerves can be cute, but after a while.. The way he was eating AND talking with food in his mouth or err.. falling out of his mouth(!) - GROSS! Trish can talk all she wants about being better than the other girls, but all she's doing is making herself look worse. When she was on Kimmel's show and "they" were all on her side, she didn't seem as snarky. I have one thing about Trish and her beauty - wow did you see the ummm.. lines in her forehead. <nk> Ok.. that was catty.. but I'm 20 yrs older than she is and I can't even make my forehead look that lined. I noticed that about some of the other women as well. Too much sun? I don't know.. I grew up before we knew it was bad to spend too much time in the sun. <nk> >::<

It's not catty, Watching...it's the truth! I'd said before about Trish...because of her attitude and the fact she really doesn't see to be a happy person, any looks she may possess now...<nk> And Bob...I dunno how he managed to 'qualify' as The Bachelor any way, well other than he wasn't chosen on the Bachelorette show.

Folks, while making negative comments about reality tv show contestants is allowed, pure bashing in a mean way is not okay. Let's try to keep that in mind. Thanks for your cooperation.

Fruitbat, Funny, I thought Jessica came across as kind of low key compared to Jesse. It seemed like he was the one trying to be convincing that they are still an item. I got the impression that this relationship is definitely not on. He did appear disgusting in those outtakes. It looked like Jessica was horrified as well during their meals.
