Where the heck is everyone at??? The only thing better than watching The Bachelor is talking about it here.

Ok, is it just me or does Kirsten look just like Angela from the last show? She seems pretty cocky too.

I think Andrew is the cutest thing but for someone who didn't want the women to like him for his wealth, the fact that he's loaded came our rather quickly.

Tina, the last girl he chose, will be the one to watch for neurotic behavior. I don't know why but its a feeling I get.

They look like a VERY catty group of girls. I hope he can find the right girl in all of the cattiness.

I wondered what happened to everybody too.

I wasn't paying 100% attention, but I like Christina C (I think) the 30 year old..
I don't understand why they start with so many, only to cut them off so quick.

Did the girl who said he'd better pick her because she can't return the outfits she bought make it?

I was REALLY glad he didn't pick the pageant winner. I didn't like her for some reason.

There are too many for me to remember now. I get into this after the first two eliminations.

Liz jumped out at me as a shining star. She seemed very genuine. A real cutie.

Audrey better come out as a Mormon next week. Anyone with a strong religion for that matter. It is easy to fall in love but difficult to negotiate the mine field of different beliefs after the fact.

Stephanie, the beauty queen, was the least attractive.

Many of these women were very pushy. Asking if he were really ready to get married was the stupid question of the evening. That is why he is there and the entire premis of the show!

If I could be a coach to these women I would tell them to keep conversations out of the marriage arena and get to know him by talking about favorite food, best vacations, etc, anything to start a conversation that has the potential of connection without tension.

I just haven't been interested this time around. Caught the end of the rose ceremony last night and it just seemed silly. But some of you have indicated that you like this guy better than Aaron and Alex so maybe I'll tune in next week.

I was paying half attention but I thought an obnoxious ritual was missing. That of the host stepping in to announce the last rose was about to be given. The rose ceremony is so hopelessly dramatic and slow, as it is, I always found this irritating. The camera pans the final rose and the women are certainly aware! Anyone remember?

It was there... Chris came out as the last rose was lying on the table, and stated that this was the final rose of the evening...

Yeah, I did catch that part. Unfortunately it was not missing. Deej, what do you think of Andrew? (So funny how they are all "A" names!)

sigh. The format needs to be jogged. As horrible as Joe Millionaire was the editing made the hour pass pretty quickly.

The rose ceremony is torturous. The endless long pans and silences are ridiculous especially in the early stages.

Andrew is sooooo charming and so cute. Really making Evan Marriott look like a bigger doof than what he thought.

Bachelor show TIP!
If you tape it and watch the rose ceremony at FF speed it appears to be progressing in normal time!

Andrew definitely (so far at least) blows both Aaron & Alex out of the water. I only want to know why he would have told them his last name? If he truly wanted to be attractive to these women for what he is, not who he is (meaning, to find someone who's not a gold-digger) why wouldn't he tell them a fictitious last name???

Also, am I the only one who thinks that Christina reeks of desperation??? All of her comments last night and last week had me absolutely cringing!

ROLF Dahli!

If he were to lie about his last name he would run up against trust issues. It could be a mess. He could have finessed it though and said that he was in the wine business and was not apart of the tires. That would have been true and also given the impression that they were two different families.

So...are you going to read all through this Bachelor (if abc doesn't postpone it) and never give in? ;)

I didn't watch the first Bachelor, came in about 3rd show of the second one, and watched all of Bachorlette. I decided to watch from the beginning this time, because of the board. However, when I'm online at the same time I'm watching, my concentration for the show is pretty limited. I used to be able to multitask.. Not anymore.

I'm glad Stephanie the fake-looking, competitive beauty queen didn't make the cut. Ugh. There was another girl with a beauty pageant background there, but she wasn't obnoxious like Stephanie.

ITA, he shouldn't have lied about his last name. Explaining who he is was interesting, but yeah, it might make him appeal more to certain types of women. We'll see.

I also liked the 30-year-old. And the 29-year-olds, and Liz, too.

When are they going to move to the "B" named men?

Mygetaway, yeah, the girl who said she couldn't return her clothes made it. She was Tina, the one I think will go psycho by the end. She was a little weird when she pulled him away to talk about marriage and children.

I did notice an editing faux pas. When Chris took Andrew away to make his decision, you saw Andrew with a drink in his hand and the door slammed behind them. Then when it came back from the angle from inside the room they were going in, the door closed gently and there was no drink in his hand. Not that it's a surprise but they retake alot of shots obviously. God, i need a hobby...

As far as who I like so far- they all seem to have the same look but then again, thats usually the way it is the first few weeks.

I missed this but I do that too. I drive Mrbat nuts in movies sometimes. Hair and level of liquid is glasses and food are the easiest to catch.

Too many (blond)girls! I'm too confused. I'll be glad when they weed some of them out and it will be easier to keep track of who is who.

I didn't care for the girl who told Andrew that he had to keep her cause she had too many clothes she couldn't take back (was that Tina?). I thought it was kind of pushy/desperate of her, and he definitely didn't get the joke.

I don't understand what Audree (the Mormon girl) is doing there. I thought Mormons could only marry Mormons (my ex brother-in-law had to convert in order to marry his Mormon GF). Also, how is she going to explain to her non-alcohol drinking family that her potential hubby's family makes wine--and beer, apparently? She'll have to go as soon as it comes out that she's a Mormon.

I loved at the end when they were mocking the Rose Ceremony. "Most . . . Shocking . . . Rose . . . Ceremony . . . Ever!" "Oh, Andrew (and ladies), in case you didn't notice, there's only ONE ROSE LEFT!" Well, duh! Of course everybody knows there's only one rose left. We just want to see who's going to get it, so SHUT UP, Chris!!!
