Bracken | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:10 pm     I saw that in my guide Froggie. Thanks for reminding everyone. And we have one more hour to devote to the Bachelor after this, lol. I think the final show is always good, to see who he has chosen together as a couple and not in competition. |
Tess | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:10 pm     I was glad to hear the brother speak up also. Some of Kirsten's answers bothered me alot. Things just seem so much more natural with Jen. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:11 pm     Thanks Froggie, I missed that, I was getting my daughter of to bed at the very end, |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Doesn't it bug you that the family doesn't tell him how they really feel about her and pretend they think she is wonderful. |
Bracken | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:17 pm     It doesn't bother me Likoo, only because I am so outspoken and have made that mistake and she married him and relations have been strained since. Sometimes restraint is best. |
Froggiegirl621 | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Kirsten is sooooooooo, like, full of herself! (add obnoxious laugh and hair-flip where appropriate) She makes me wanna puke! I'm gonna HURL!!! If he picks Kirsten, I REFUSE to watch the special on Wednesday night. |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:32 pm     Is it just me or could you see Kristen's ribs through her dress? |
Bracken | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:38 pm     Her dress did look odd around the ribcage, thought it might be the lining, but you may be right. Now I have a problem with continuity. It's raining on the limos, but he's outside and there is no rain. Did you notice that Irksten is drinking wine (maybe she thinks that wine breath will be attractive) like she's "Lady Firestone" already, lol. Yes, I'm with you Froggie, won't waste another minute, much less hour if Kirsten is the one. Hopefully, the brother put an end to her. He pretty much told his brother he didn't trust her and that may count. |
Bracken | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:45 pm     Nevermind the rain comment, they moved the proposal alter inside. It better be Jen, although she picked a round diamond I thought. If they both go and choose the ring, why does he then go and look at them also. Either they get their choice or he does? Am I missing something, or do they narrow it down to several and he chooses from among that group? The diamond they showed had a yellow cast, not sure if it is a yellow diamond or not, but they are very rare if it is a yellow diamond. Maybe my color is off. |
Bracken | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:56 pm     Just went googling. His mother is british. She was a ballet dancer and a soloist with the British Royal Ballet. Thought there were more there than just good breeding in her accent. Well, that too, I guess. |
Tess | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 08:13 pm     Good find, Bracken. I really loved his family. |
Donut | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 08:27 pm     we are still not spoiling here right? so i will keep my mouth shut here.. i wanted to come post during commercials but i thought i would see some spoiler so i avoided it, but you guys showed amazing restraint! anyways, my question was about the ring thing. I dont remember them showing the ring before. Have they on other shows? i always thought the guys are told which ring they like, and pick the one that goes with the girl they are choosing. But tonite they actually showed the ring and i thought it looked like one that one girl picked and definitely not like the other girls, so i couldnt figure out if they were trying to mess us up , or if it was some sort of thing to see if he picked the right girl to go with the ring or what? so does anyone remember that from other shows? and what were they trying to do? |
Jbean | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 08:50 pm     donut, i thought that too that they were giving away who he was picking, but i think the ring the girl chose was a little bit different of a shape? i don't know. i remember last year they showed both helene and brooke went and chose rings, but i think aaron chose a different one altogether. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:17 pm     Kirsten chose a three stoned ring and Jen chose a round stone with two small rounds to the side of the center stone. He chose a different one altogether. I think he chooses from a small selection of what the girl sees to narrow it down. Hey, lucky for her because the ring he chose was MUCH larger than the one she chose for herself. |
Jhezzie | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:02 pm     I think the girls choose rings that they like and the jewler has him pick from those. But, I could be wrong. |
Clp | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 12:42 am     Y'all have to check out the ABC "Final Thoughts Videos Why did Andrew pick the oval ring? He said because it symbolized a big table that will one day be surrounded by all their kids. And what did <sd> Kirsten have to say? -she thinks she is better than Jen and Jen is wrong for Andrew. -she hope is doesn't work out between Andrew and Jen so she can say "Ha, you picked wrong and now you are screwed." -she wanted to slap Andrew when he said he was in love with Jen and then she wanted to walk away. -she said "like", "I mean", and "Y'know" about 8 gagillion times. This girl makes Heidi and Jenna look like two virginal innocents. I have never, ever seen someone with so little class and so little eyebrows. Andrew must so be breathing a huge sigh of relief and really, he and Jen must name their first born son after the brother with a nose for a gold digger, because he saved Andy's bacon BIG TIME! |
Mlt | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 03:56 am     Thanks for the tip, Clp. I must admit, watching Kirsten's final message almost made Christina's exit seem classy. I suddenly had images of Kirsten with two little voodoo dolls into which she's been sticking pins for the past few months. Scary. |
Texannie | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 06:11 am     I hadn't gotten in to this show this time so I only watched the finale tonite, but I was immediately struck by how unstable and vague Kirsten seemed!!!! Didn't care for her at all. |
Marymc | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 07:40 am     well..this made the front page here in santa barbara. his folks hosted a party at their brewery and stayed for about half the show before leaving. they had two boxes on the bar for the guests to vote and jen's box was overflowing. when andrew picked jen the whole place went nuts. can you imagine what it must be like to be kirstin right now? the whole country is thrilled she got dumped! hope she learns something from this. also hope someone gets a hold of that ex-boyfriend of hers...i'd love to hear what he has to say about all this. |
Fabnsab | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 09:10 am     Mary, I'm sure the Enquirer is on the case of the exboyfriend. To add to CLP's notes, on "the morning after" video aol has, Kirsten said that if Andrew realizes he made a mistake he could call her. I hope Andrew and Jen send her a xmas card with a picture of them on the front at the vineyard. I know thats mean but so is she. |
Katlady53 | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 09:14 am     LOL @ the Christmas card, Fabnsab! |
Avrey258 | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 09:34 am     Isn't is odd that Andrew's sisters had slight British accents and his brothers didn't? I wonder if the sisters went to school in England. Also, there seems to be a big age gap between the oldest sibling and Andrew. I still don't know how many brothers and sisters are in the family. |
Bandit | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 09:43 am     ROFL Fabnsab!!!! I hope so, too!!!!! |
Bracken | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 10:11 am     Me either Bandit. I made mention of the british accents last night in the spoiler thread. The mother is Catherine Boulton Firestone. Didn't say she was british from what I could find, but believe she is as she was a soloist with the British Royal Ballet back in the day. I also was trolling this morning at TWOP and someone mentioned that the one sister spent her formative years in England. But her accent sounded more like an irish brogue to me than british. Perhaps the "ladies" of the family attending boarding school in England and the male offspring stayed stateside. Nevertheless, the valley girl speak of Kirsten really stood out in this crowd, huh. From what I could gather, looked like two brothers, the one that clued him in - Adam -- and I saw another that looked more like the father sitting near the father after dinner, but don't believe he spoke at all on camera. Then three sisters, the accented one, the dark haired -- we work hard one, and another blondish one that was in the segment where they packed the wine. If my count is accurate, this is a large family, I'm counting six, 3 boys, 3 girls. Andrew looks to be "the baby" by a large margin although they all look fairly weathered -- sunscreen people! If anybody has better intel, let us know please. |
Fabnsab | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 10:18 am     I think there was one brother and two sisters with all of them being married. That would be six total. I may be wrong but thats what I saw. |
