Seamonkey | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 10:48 pm     i think she has far more reason to have some ego than "Joe Millionaire" and, hey, the show IS about her, really. I think she can use any factor at all to make her decisions. Unless the guy with horses was the clear standout winner at that time, why should she keep him in.. sure there are meds but they aren't without side effects. I didn't like Bob on the show, but he was really really cute tonight Well, the misery will be over next week. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 04:48 am     I'm going to play Devil's Advocate if that's all-right with everyone. There are a few things that bother me about Trista, but for the sake of debating, I'm going to take a stand on the other side for a moment... Re: Brook & the horses - I have allergies to my cats (if you can believe it) and if I didn't have my babies, I wouldn't put myself in a situation that would aggravate my allergy attacks. As I write this I have a very, very, very bad sinus migraine, and it's all I can do to keep my head up, but I have to work (or I don't get paid)... What I'm trying to say, is although she did give him a rose the first night, I can completely understand why she didn't the second. If someone's lifestyle (Brook's a cowboy) might have a negative impact on my health, I won't pursue something because I would never ask someone to give something up for me (unless it's something harmful, such as drugs or excessive alcohol abuse)... Brook stating that there are shots & pills for those sort of allergies - I take both, and let me tell you, if I hadn't already had my cats prior to developing my allergies (I just got my allergies last February but have had my cats for four years) I wouldn't get a cat because taking a pill every day and a shot once a week is just too much to go through just to have some relief... in my opinion he was the shallow one in the situation, not Trista Re Russ: I remember last week's episode and actually rewatched it again before watching last night's episode just to be sure of my thoughts. In the show last week as they were on their date, Russ was like a dumb dog looking at Trista basically saying to her with his manner: "Come on, you like me, I know you like me, don't you?" He got more and more desperate as the date progressed and he was completely into trying to make it a romantic evening but Trista wouldn't let him - to now turn around and state that he just wasn't feeling it anymore... I'm sorry, I don't buy it... A picture tells a thousand words, and the film of him from last night screams desparation... just my  |
Mamaanja | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 05:50 am     DJ and Muse, I totally agree with you about Brook. They obviously wouldn't have been a good match. He must have really had his ego bruised. Rob (aka Brad Pitt) looked just as delicious as usual. Heavy sigh. I wish they would have talked to him more. I also wish they had asked Brian H. about why he left before the rose ceremony. And Bob is/was not fat!!!! Geez Louise! So he wasn't quite as buff as the others....ok....he still looks better than many, many other men. I think that there are several guys who could be the Bachelor #3. Especially Ryan, if Trista doesn't pick him. Finally, Trista should have responded with "no comment" to that orgasm question. Really Trista, you gave us way too much information. |
Spygirl | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:15 am     After seeing Bob last night, I'm convinced he's my man. Anyone know where I can get his email address or phone number? |
Needmylifeback | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:23 am     I think Russ was <> last night as well...he wanted to come off as I was the only male (he forgot about Brian H.) who made the decision to leave and not Trista doing the choosing....I think he was trying to save his EGO over all the others....I guess he forgot that he was taped in the limo on his exit...and that people do videotape things and re-watch them! LOL!~ |
Conejo | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:29 am     OK, so Brooke is a cowboy - were they going to be sleeping and dating in the barn with the horses??? Could Brooke not take a shower and change clothes after riding horses??? I just don't get the whole Brooke's a cowboy thing. |
Tvluver | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:20 am     I think that what Brook was trying to say to her while he was still on the show was that he wanted her to say that there just wasn't anything between them and that Trista just didn't like him and not to just make it about horses. He just did not do a good job of expressing himself and now it has just gotten out of control. Trista was just using the horse thing as an excuse because she wasn't into him and was trying not to hurt his feelings. I think he knew it and wanted her to be honest instead of so fake. I mean if you really like someone it would not matter if they had horses. If she is that allergic to them why did she ever pick him? |
Marameko | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:36 am     Bravo DJGirl5235: Trista had to elimintate men each week, nor could she get to know all the men to the extent they wanted.It is a wonder she did not eliminate Brook earlier,allergy treatments for the rest of your life due to something you should/could avoid is not reasonable. And Russ......he is so <>, he should never have gone as far as he did. Bob looked yummy.I hope Jamie and Bob meet wonderful women as a result of the experience. |
Conejo | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:40 am     I agree Tvluver, I think that he just wanted her to be honest about why she wasn't into him. I liked Trista at the onset of this show, but I've grown tired of her with the airing of each episode and now don't really care for her. I think she really likes this whole Hollywood thing and it's kinda gone to her head! JMHO |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:51 am     I can't imagine what it's like to have dozens of men competing for your attention, but it sure seems to have gone to Trista's head! I can understand the Brook/horse thing, but I don't think Trista explained it well. I beleive it was more about the lifestyle and interests, not just about allergies. I don't date guys who love camping and the outdoors because I hate camping. Why pick someone who has a lifestyle that doesn't interest you when you can pick another guy that does? She should have cut Brook the first round. What's the deal with the orgasms? Must have been something she revealed on the Bachelor show because I don't recall anything. |
Texannie | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:55 am     I don't believe for one minute that if Trista has said to Brook "I just don't feel anything for you. I have no chemistry with you. You leave me cold, so I am not giving you a rose" that it would have made him feel better. He would have still whined that she didn't give him a chance. I think it was feeble, but I truly believe that she was trying to spare his feelings. |
Babyjaxmom | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:19 am     Conejo, anyone who has pets of any kind will tell you that as hard as you try, fur and pet hair/dander (sounds disgusting, but that's the real allergen) eventually inundate everything you own: furniture, clothes, your car, etc. Even if Brook "took a shower," he'd probably still have a small trail of horse hair following him around. Even though it might seem shallow, I can understand her not giving him a rose if she has severe allergies. I'm fortunate to not have allergies myself, but know several people who do and sometimes even medication only eases the symptoms, not erases them. I can fully understand her not being interested in going through life feeling like she has a continuous cold or even asthma (during a serious attack). Not being able to feel well or even to breath would be a serious consideration. That being said, I do agree that she really didn't like him that much and was just trying to keep from hurting his feelings. He should have been a little more gracious about it and just said, "Okay, whatever." He's made way too big a deal about the whole thing and now he looks like more of a jerk than she does. |
Denecee | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:41 am     I think Trista handled the Brook situation last night very well. It was good that she pointed out that Brook was not the only guy she didn't spend time with. Brook was not very gentlemenly if you ask me. Jamie was cute as can be and damn sexy too! Bob was looking fine and he is so funny. Spygirl should definetely look him up. I like Trista's demeanour. |
Yuhuru | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 10:30 am     I don't mind that Brook spoke up even if it was sour grapes. The one thing I don't like about these shows is how the contestants are not supposed to exert any control. It's like they are expected to flow with the whim of the bachelor/ette. But relationships aren't so one sided. It's truly a game show which is sort of sad because they're not just talking about winning a date with someone they're talking about winning a life with someone. |
Northstar | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 10:33 am     Spygirl, this is all I have to say to you..It's AAAAWWWNNN!! I'm more than certain I'll be hooking him up with my sister. I'm pretty sure he's the BIL I want at our Christmas table.  |
Lizadee | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:11 am     Was that funny or what ??? The part with Jack when he drank a lil' to much and then urinated on the bed Then the guys moved his bed outside and when he woke up in the morning he didn't know how to get back into the house To be single and young again ! Where was Bob when I was single He is so funny and CUTE |
Crazydog | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:21 am     The whole Brook thing was just ridiculous. He still feels so hurt by her when it was obvious the two of them didn't have any chemistry at all. It wasn't about him being a cowboy, it was about him being him. She clearly thought he was a dud. When she talked to him on the night he got cut, he said "Finally!" as if she owed him anything. Expecting her to take shots and pills is a little unreasonable. It's more than just the actual animals, it is his way of life. He loves horses and probably would want his girlfriend/wife to ride in the woods with him or watch him perform at the rodeos. Trista couldn't and wouldn't do that. They are completely incompatible and his ego was bruised. |
Spygirl | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:32 am     LOL Northstar...the battle begins, then, because he's MINE!!!  |
Realfan | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:49 am     ITA with DJ. Well said. Brooke came off a total whiner. Oh, his cowboy buddies agree with him that she's shallow. That alone shows where his life and head are. He looked so pissed, after all this time. What a dolt. Get over it, Brooke. I think he proved last night that she was smart to dump him. Bob's a sweetie. I would love to see HIM be the Bachelor. Wouldn't that be fun, to have a funny bachelor with personality and women who are interested in that type of guy? What a change from the dull pseudo-sophisticated Alex/Aaron types! It would be the best Bachelor yet. |
Ruditoo | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:58 am     Heads up. Was or wasn't Greg T. on the show last night? I've read the whole thread and it appears their is a difference IO. I saw only a few monents, did hear the comment about Gregs appartment an cringed for the poor guy. I looked put never spotted him. I also wonder where he really was if he wasn't there. Allueding to comments in this and other threads on Drugs in his bag at airport? Anyone want and try and clarify these three ??? ? Jamey was adorable!!!!! |
Northstar | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 12:06 pm     OK Spy, Awn your mark..Get set...GO |
Wink | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 12:10 pm     Ruditoo he wasn't there. They just said he was unable to be there. |
Marymc | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 01:43 pm     i LOVED jamie from the first day, til i saw him drunk.....mooning the camera, talking about lighting farts, eating dog food....the man's 27! even at 17 his behavior would have turned me off. still, i thought he was incredibly well spoken last night and adorable and hopeful that he was just caught at his "worst". i was cringing all during those drinking scenes....i'm not a prude, but it made me really uncomfortable. i'm with realfan....BOB should be the next bachelor. am really tired of "beautiful" empty, personality-free people being held up as some kind of "catch". he would be fun, and entertaining and any girl would be lucky to have him. GO BOB!!! (what i don't quite understand, however, is that he said his weight was due to an achillies tendon injury....judging by the dance he did that first night, i would say that injury had healed LONG before that first night). |
Happymom | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 01:53 pm     Realfan, Yes! Bob should be the next bachelor! That would be a show worth watching! Brenda, Trista talked on the 1st Bachelor about never having "the big o". I cannot beleive she answered the question last night. |
Marymc | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:16 pm     what did she mean about "2 different kinds" of "O"? and that she had experienced one, but not the other? am i missing something??? |
