Ok, I need to get a life. I didn't feel that great today, so I have been in the house (it's raining and disgusting out) watching the Bachelor reruns all day.

I must confess that I have been sitting in the recliner watching the same thing. But it's good to watch knowing who wins!!

Is anyone else now watching to see if there were early hints to Jen being the one?

I noticed that in the first couple of shows there are several shots of her just flashing by, even though her name is never mentioned.

Am I imagining things, or did anyone else see this? I'm only watching in between cleaning and cooking, so maybe I just happen to be catching her.

I've loved the "round table discussion" that they have had between each episode. One thing I noticed was there was a couple of times when he said "I love the way Jen.........." He used the word love and I didn't notice it with the others. He always says "I could see myself with her. I could see her being here." But I think only with Jen did he say "He loved the way she made him feel." Maybe it's just me and I'm digging............

I had a blast rewatching this! It really is a lot of fun when you know how it is going to turn out. I am also a lot less fooled by the editing the second time around - the first time it looked like he was favoring Kirsten so much, this time, not so much. There were several girls who I didn't even remember being there! He also explained the Kristen thing, which did not make sense to me the first time around. It was also interesting to hear his comment about Ginny.

I watched some of this, then taped the rest and fastforwarded to the roundtable discussions with Andrew.

Because of that, I have no respect for him now.

He spends all his energy defending Kirsten!! He even got snotty with the hostess at one point because of her. The guy is either still stuck on her, or so egotistical he can't stand for people to think he's a bad judge of character. He was constantly making up excuses for Kirsten, even for things that occurred out of his sight, like the talk between Kirsten and her girlfriend about "What should I tell Bill?" Andrew said that some guys just keep hanging around after a break-up, or poor l'il Kirsten was misunderstood, or that the other girls were probably jealous of her (other girls INCLUDING Jen, apparently), that despite all NINE girls telling him to be wary (not WEARY) of Kirsten, he could just as easily think they were being catty.

What a dip!! Jen doesn't deserve this. I know that he was instructed not to reveal his pick because it's designed for new viewers, but did he have to keep struggling to excuse Kirsten?? He even said JEN was wrong at her family dinner to say bad things about "the other girls"--meaning, yet again, Kirsten.

If I were Jen, I'd be seriously concerned that he's not over the girl, or concerned that his ego will need too much stroking in the future.

The roundtable was scripted and it was also shown as to not to give away the ending until the end. If he came down on Kierstin then the ending would have been given away. It's TV.

I actually like him better now.

I agree MsMoonie, I like him better now than I did on the show. He really has a great sense of humor and I took all those things he said about Kirsten as to not make it look like he picked Jen. He defended her at that point in the show and if now he said things different then you would know he didn't pick Kirsten. I really liked the part in the Final show where he kept saying the boyfriend incident was NOT what made him pick Jen. You could see the minute they started showing the Jen and Andrew together that they hit it off long before the boyfriend thing blew up. So, yea, I like him better now than I did during the show.

Yes, Moon, but he "came down on" all the other girls at some point (both Tinas, Amber, Christina, AND Jen). It's the blatant unfairness of his remarks that annoy me. If he had ALSO come down on Kirsten, even a little, it wouldn't have revealed the ending, and it wouldn't make him seem so concerned about what people think of his Kirsten obsession.

Maybe it's because I fastforwarded through the eps and watched just the interview bits, but it was very heavy handed. Kirsten could do no wrong.

I watched the WHOLE thing LOL (I didn't feel good so just camped out on the couch) I came away with that he was scripted... I think he feels bad about hurting Kiersten and I understand..... but he was SO excited as soon as he could share he picked Jen. His feelings are pretty out in front. I came away with liking him a lot and I am pretty tough on guys

Realfan, I've been thinking about Andrew's defence of Kirsten. I don't get ABC Family, so I haven't heard the comments. But I've heard about them. It seems to me that he defended Kirsten on the boyfriend issue.

Now, this is just a theory, but think about this for a moment. By defending Kirsten, I think he was actually defending his choice of Jen. If he indicated that he was upset about the boyfriend issue, he would, in effect, be saying: "I dumbed Kirsten when I found out she was lying about the boyfriend issue." By making it clear that the boyfriend issue didn't matter to him, he was telling us that he chose Jen, not because of Kirsten's behavior, but because he fell in love with Jen.

Also, I've been thinking about his tears when his brother confronted him about Kirsten's boyfriend. I can recall a message on Chris's message boards where Chris said that, given how busy they keep the bachelor and the emotional strain the men experience in such a short period of time, all the bachelors are a wreck by the end of the show. Chris specifically referred to Alex getting sick during his overnight date with Trista. I think Andrew's tears were a mixture of the strain Andrew was under and the knowledge that he'd made a fool of himself by being taken in by Kirsten's lies.

But I think Andrew had chosen Jen by the second last rose ceremony. I think Kirsten was simply his 'back-up' if Jen decided that she didn't want to continue their relationship after meeting his family. After all, she had made it clear that she wouldn't commit before meeting his family.

Just a couple of thoughts for anyone who might be interested.

I agree Mlt, especially when you throw in editing. Remember, the producers want viewers to be intrigued until the last moment, and suspense is the name of the game. Also, the rules of the game require that there be two choices at the end. Someone had to appear as "backup" regardless of their apparent shortcomings.
