Ketchuplover | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 02:58 pm     I'm gonna bite your bite |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 02:59 pm     I mean butt |
Misslibra | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 06:21 pm     Cecile had fallen hard for her Man to bad he didn't feel the same. Women always let our hearts lead us, but Men is totally opposite. They act like they don't have a clue that we our falling in love with them. And Sissy and her Man, he is thinking they get along and is having a good time but what is she thinking... LOVE. She used the word several times and can we count how many times did he said it... none. I don't think Sissy's guy have the same feeling for her as she does. I think her likes her a great deal but not as strongly as she does. And she keeps saving herself for him. Is she in for a big fall I wonder? |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 07:04 pm     I don't know if I should admire or pity Andrea. Rebekah still isn't all that. Apparently she has the ability to manipulate men's minds. Be sure to check out Beyond Belief:Fact or Fiction on Thurs nite! |
Mamaanja | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 07:19 pm     Here is my list of bad things to say about tonights show. Enjoy! Why did Andrea keep Christian after what he said during the reality check? Either she thinks she'll change his mind, or there is more going on that we have not seen. I was surprised her spa date guy didn't plea to her. They seemed to have a good time. Why do the guys always plea to Rebekka? Do they truly think they have a chance? I can't stand how smug she looks each time her dowry increases! Cha-ching. Cha-ching. What was with that Tim guy--Cecile's man on ice. Can you say Super Freak?? But it was hilarious how they showed her during dinner going on and on, literally for hours, about her fiasco with Tim #1. Her new guy, Wil, seems like a good match. But his name is Wil, and he's in a reality show, so I"m sure we'll all hate him by the end. Poor Karen. I think she was expecting a plea from her photo shoot date. Her man on ice seemed a bit upset about her divorce. Maybe we'll see the ramifications of that in a future episode. I wonder what we aren't seeing about her. There must be something, because I don't think she has had any pleas. Miss Libra, you make a great point regarding Sissie and Brent. They are editing it to appear that she might be more interested than he is. She seems so sweet! I hope she doesn't get her heart broken. I really listened to the intro tonight, and it totally bugged me. It used words like "desperate" and "last chance for marriage". Huh? That's a bit strong, isn't it? Ok, I'm done. Thanks for "listening". |
Muse | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 08:44 pm     I don't think Sissie and Brent really have a problem. I think he's a moving a bit slower than her, but that's because of his situation (having kids to think about, not having dated since his divorce, etc). But he seems genuinely interested in her, and it sounded like he'd like to continue the relationship. So I think everything will work out, assuming he does keep things moving forward. Even if he does so slowly. But Andrea and Kristian? Disaster. I think she's infatuated, and hopes she can change his mind. But it really seems like he's already made his decision. The problem isn't really that he doesn't feel as strongly about her as she does for him. It's that he doesn't see a future with her *and* doesn't think that will change. She needs to realize that sometimes you can't change how another person feels, no matter how hard you try. Kind of interesting how she was okay with what Kristian said in front of everyone, while Cecile was so humiliated last week. I don't see anything happening with Rebekah and Jason. Maybe a fling, but that's about it. I don't think Rebekah is ready for marriage or even a serious relationship at this point in her life. Cecile is sort of annoying me. I felt sorry for Tim #2, as strange/nerdy as he was. I don't think Cecile would've looked twice at him if it wasn't for what happened with Tim #1. And the dinner? Man, he must've felt stupid. But why did he want someone who blabbed on about some other guy for three hours anyway? And the shoe comment - ewww. Total cop-out excuse for Cecile, however. So now we see why Karen is so guarded. And why she's willing to have a "relationship" with someone she obviously doesn't have strong (any?) feelings for (and vice versa). Sure makes things boring for us viewers, though. I did feel sorry for her when her date decided to make a plea for Rebekah...these men are just clueless. |
Theowl | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 08:55 pm     Muse, are they really clueless? I was wondering about that tonight. Do the 4 new guys know anything about the girls and what has been happening? They always seem drawn to Reb. and I have no idea why. Pretty maybe, but not outstanding.  |
Sunshinemiss | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 10:26 pm     Ow, this episode was painful to watch on several levels. I actually had to close my eyes 'cause I didn't want to see the look on some people's faces. Didn't I see Andrea heading out of the room after the "reality check", like Cecile did last week? Or was the conversation just declared "over" at that point? Poorly edited, IMO. Is that girl a masochist or just blinded by infatuation? Girl, get a clue! Unlike Cecile, she doesn't seem the type to deliberately seek out drama, but that is definitely where her relationship with Christian is headed. Hmmm. Poor Tim #2. He was just a convenient stand-in until he could be replaced. He never stood a chance, and seemed kind of bewildered by the whole thing. Kind of a geek, but obviously intelligent and kind hearted. Too bad. Go Sissie and Brent. I am pulling for them. Is Fox going to foot the bill for the wedding if they decide to go for it? I hope so. Probably will, as it will make for good footage. Karen... now we know why she is so guarded... but you have to put yourself out there and make yourself vulnerable if you truly desire intimacy. If she is not ready for that yet, ok, but then she shouldn't have gone on the show, it's not fair to the guys. Rebekkah.. annoys the heck out of me. Fake and manipulative. As I have said previously, flirtatiousness is ok if it is sincere, e.g. if you are truly interested in the guy you are flirting with, but it certainly looks like she is just playing them to increase her dowry. Could be editing though. Next week looks really interesting, I wonder why all the guys are allowed back in ?!? Are we getting near the end of the series? It seems too soon to me, but I have no idea. I'll be watching! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 23, 2002 - 10:43 pm     Andrea, Andrea,, wake up!! Why would you keep that guy.. but I suppose she felt rejected when her date pled to Rebekah. Still there were others. Tim #2.. well he tried and failed. I don't think Cecile should have kept him any longer if she knew it wasn't working for her.. Sissie isn't playing games.. as she says body language usually works and she and Brent seem to be progressing nicely!! Yes.. Karen is a bit confusing; what DOES she want? But then, why didn't her date plea to her?? Rebekah.. LOVE to hate her. Just want to slap that smile off her face. I really do wonder if she's somehow made deals with some of these guys to kick back a portion of the plea money? |
Mssilhouette | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 07:49 am     Well I finally caught another show of this um...well creative endeavour at marrage. Okay I have one question were these women the rejects (cept for Sissy) from The Bachelor!? The other 4 women appear to have ZERO mentality for marrage or a relationship. Redhead Andrea...what the f**k (sorry for the language but it was needed) Hey girl if you want some punishment pull your fingernails out one by one then dip them in alcohol, it'll be less painful then watching you hold unto to an emotionally unavailable man. What was that she said at the end..."We've developed feelings?" By 'we' you mean YOU and only YOU. Screwing a guy that you barely know is NOT a feeling it's an action. Gee I think I know WHY she can't find a good man she keeps passing on them. 2nd Disaster. Karen StraightBlonde aka Iron Curtain, also picked a guy who she doesn't have to work on getting to know. Everything on their relationship is not exactly getting any deeper. On her divorce the guy said "We talked about her past, I didn't know the who, where, why and what..." Hey fool, if you don't answer those question then you didn't talk about it! 3rd mess - Cecile, say sure it was sad that the Tim guy told he wasn't attracted to you. But um I suppose you could have figured that out by his body langague and his LACK OF TALKING TO YOU oh yeah and that kissing thing. Tim was young and really didn't seem opposed to kissing someone he liked, SOOOOO if he took forever to kiss you and it was only because you were invading his space, which he didn't seem that happy about. Then get a clue. Sure it was crappy to find out that he really didn't like you but get over it. Don't choose another guy and then use him as your rebound by talking his ear off for hours. Tim 2 seemed like a nice guy, I didn't find him geeky, I did find that he was guy who really wanted to get to know her but didn't know how to go about it. Guess all that shakespear stuff only goes so far. The shoe drinking thing wasn't really that big of a deal cept she had already stamped him 'reject' after that dinner where she used him. As for the new guy Will, she'll screw that up as well, she doesn't know what she wants either. Rebekah, *SIGH* what more can be said, she's playing the game and that's about it. She wants the cash and couldn't care less about the guys. Why these men are pleaing to her I don't know unless she's promising sexual favors for pleas. I'm sorry but I don't find her that attractive or that engaging. But sometimes men just like to compete against each other for sport....so who knows. She's basically the "bit*h" of the show with little interest in getting married. Sissy - The only woman who will get hitched on this show. She's mature and she knows what she wants. Thank goodness! I'm past being annoyed at the women and it's just sad to watch 4 women who don't even know how to have a relationship and want to get married. I thought it was nice to have a Bachelorette show but dang this is just crap. |
Rabbit | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 08:23 am     Well sure its crap, but do you like the show? |
Ryn | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 08:33 am     <hehe> (I haven't seen it once, but loved your rant MissS ) |
Realfan | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 08:55 am     Great posts, guys! I have only a few things to add... Cecile getting SO excited that she found a guy she can talk sports with. Huh?? Yeah, those are few and far between!! Cecile saying she didn't want to talk about it, then talking non-stop for 3 1/2 hours about her and the first Tim!! How rude can you be? Too bad Tim 2 didn't have the moxy to cut her off or put a stop to it. His gentle hints went right past her. Andrea---I thought you were interested in marriage? Why stay with a guy who sees no future with you? How deluded can you be??? The men in general--Have you so little experience with women that you don't see when one is flirting just to flirt and you really have a snowball's chance in hell of scoring? Sad sacks. One smart guy--The man who pled to Andrea, thinking it would be a ticket to stay in the game. Smart move. Too bad it didn't work. Sissie--I hope it's real with Brent. I want ONE couple to find each other in this ordeal! |
Oregonfire | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 09:24 am     Like a three-week relationship that has gone on one week too long, this show has become sadly predictable: Defying all logic yet again, toothsome Rebekah receives more that the lion's share of pleas from clueless Alaskans men whose last date was with a lonely caribou. Karen's man ditches her and pleas to someone else, further damaging her already fragile self-esteem and forcing he to relive the "hubby running off to Hawaii with a stripper" scenario over and and over again. Sissie stands by her man and claim that body language repells any unwanted suitors, yet seems strangely gleeful when she is chosen to go on a date by anybody who'll ask. Andrea further allows herself to be kicked to the curb, where she promptly starts up a deeply meaningful relationship with a lamp post. Cecile perpetually creates drama and somehow manages to keep the attention focused on herself, although she's the only one whose done anything interesting in the past two shows, so I'm not complaining. Sure, this is harsh, but wow! I wish there was a class that all women were required to take called "How Not to be a Doormat" or "How to Become a Strangely Alluring Siren in less than 20 minutes." |
Mygetaway | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 04:08 pm     I totally missed this show last night except for the last 5 minutes or so. I thought I programmed the VCR for the right time, but somehow I did AM instead of PM.. GRRRR. I was watching 'Anne of Green Gables' -The Sequel instead.. The Continuing Story is on tonight. I guess I never saw this before, or don't remember, and for some reason I was really enjoying watching it yesterday. I even sat through the endless pleas. Tonight I think I'll tape it instead, so I can scan through it. |
Ketchuplover | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 04:46 pm     Don't forget to tune in to see Beyond Belief:Fact or Fiction. Thurs nite on fox |
Weinermr | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 05:58 pm     Sorry Ketchuplover, I can't watch Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. I will be busy imagining what it is like to date a caribou. |
Merlin | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 06:29 pm     I have never seen any episode of this show, but I am just saying I am in love with the savvy Mssilhouette. I am thinking that there is nothing a man could get past her. |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 10:44 am     HA! Thanks Merlin...It's easy when you don't have a vested interest in the guys and they're not talking directly to you. Plus, I watch a lot of those dating distaster games. Now that's comedy! You watch enough of those things and you can spot a jerk coming a mile a way. Rabbit, I thought the idea of the show was about time but once again it's just another showing of a bunch of women who have issues, are whiney, bit&chy, with maybe only one exception. Meanwhile the men always seem to come off as innocent bystanders or clueless and therefore not responsible for their actions because the women overreacted to whatever. What I would like is something like The Bachelor but with a woman. 1 woman and 50 single men. No damn games, no dowry, just interaction. But I doubt that will happen, just not exciting enough. |
Max | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 12:57 pm     Yeah, they set it up to make the women look bad from the beginning with the intro saying they are "desperate for marriage." Yuck! I don't think all the guys come off too well, though. Two of them have openly lied to the women, first Tim #1 and now Kristian (who is particularly smarmy to say there's no long-term prospect here, but he'll sleep with her anyway). And then we had Tim #2 who started off nice (I couldn't believe how patient he was listening to Cecile whine about Tim #1 for 3 hours) and then turned into a scary stalker type guy. For the most part, I think the women look just as bad as Alex did on The Bachelor. More whiney, yes, but that's a male/female difference in approach more than anything. Sissy is the only one who hasn't come off bad at all and that's because she hasn't had much air time since she's stayed with the same guy all the way so far. Not nearly as interesting to watch that as all the drama the others are creating. |
Sunshinemiss | Saturday, June 29, 2002 - 05:53 pm     Well, I just saw an answer to one of my questions- they just showed a commercial that said tomorrow is part one of the two-part finale. That seems really soon- only 6 episodes to this show? It also said "WHICH girl will receive the proposal she has been hoping for?...." indicating in my opinion that there will definitely be a proposal, probably Brent I imagine. Set your VCR's! |
