For some reason the show is 90 minutes tonight - starts at the same time as American Idol show #2 which also runs for 90 minutes. So fire up your VCR or Tivo.

The lead in for AI is "70's Show" - and for Bachelorette it is "My Wife and Kids" - I think AI has the better deal there.

Yeah, AI is going to have my attention tonight. I'll have to check the thread for the scoop on who gets cut from the Bachelorette. It will be interesting to see how these two juggernauts do against each other in the ratings.

"Zap2it" lists the time as 8pm - I think TV Guide is the accurate listing. They also list AI as being on at 9 - and I know from watching it last night it is 8:30 AFTER 70's show.

I'm taping, but I'm not sure which one I'll tape, and which one I'll watch... I'm thinking tape AI, and watch Bachelorette because AI makes me go skipping around the house singing... I need that right before I go to bed!

I will definately watch AI and catch the Bachette when it comes on the west coast. The perks of having a Satellite dish and both coasts on the networks. :) Makes for a late night but with a little coffee I will be all set.

I would rather fall asleep and miss the end of ette rather than miss the auditions. This is the best part.

OK, I have a hunch after seeing the preview for tonight's show. The guys are all bumbed thinking Trista has already made her choice, for Charlie. Then the announcer says, "How will they react when a new Bachelorette arries?" and shows Shannon!

Maybe this show doesn't work as well with women? Maybe it's harder for women to play the field when they already have their eyes set on a particular guy? And to keep up the drama, they had to bring in another woman?

It will be interesting to see!

I will have to tape AI2, and watch Bachelorette. Still can catch 1/2 hr of Star Search at 8pm :(

I guess tonight's the night for competition - ABC vs. FOX!

<meltdown> Bachelorette, AI, Dawson's Creek, Tennis... half of DC and all of Presidio Med not overlapping with others.. oh, wait PM and Celbrity Mole same time..

Think I'll tape AI, watch Dawson's, watch the last hour of Bachelorette, flipping around during commercials and trying to check in on tennis (but I watched much of an amazing match with El Enoui and Roddick today so I got my dose of tennis) .. tape mole, watch Presidio med.. whew..

My opinion of bringing in others to "help" Trista.. bleh..

Okay, I watched AI and flipped over for the rose ceremony and want to know WTF she picked Russell!! Anyone? I hate that these shows are on at the same time!

I watched AI and THOUGHT I was taping this show on the other VCR, my tape ran out

Who did she give the boot to?

Ummmm, Hermione...she picked Russ because she had a brain fart. LOL

Webkitty, she booted Bob, Rob, Jaime & Michael.

She kept Charlie, Russ, Ryan and Greg.

I think Charlie is gonna be her man in the end!

I've been scoping out Hermosa Beach (Charlie's hometown) and surrounding areas but nobody has seen either Charlie or Trista.

Russell continues to give me the creeps.

Ryan is very, very cute, but I think he's a bit too emotional for her.

Greg is cute, but I don't really have an opinion on him. Of course, being the only one left who didn't have an individual date, he's the current underdog.

Charlie is the man. I think he's just the right combination of handsome, successful (seemingly anyway), confidence, and savior-faire for Trista.

I have my fingers crossed that Russell will be gone next week.

Russell definitely gives me the creeps. Here's a word game for you. Give the first word that comes to mind for the 4 finalists:

Charlie = Gorgeous :)
Russell = Creepy
Ryan = Romantic
Greg = What?????

I still don't know why she kept Greg over Bob - at least keep the humour around, not someone who keeps swooning over you (I swear he swooned last night!)

I tape AI and watch the Bachelorette since I'd much rather watch AI over again, and can ff through the commercials...

I thought she'd keep Charlie, Ryan, Greg and Bob. I missed the first 1/2 hour so I don't know what kind of spell or magic or drugs Russell must have done on her. Ick. Yuck. Psycho Stalker Boy.

She told Bob he was #5. Did anyone see Bob and Jaime on Good Morning America? It was a good interview. They were both very gracious towards Trista. When Diane Sawyer asked who they would predict to be the winner, Bob said Trista would be the winner because the guys are all great. He thinks it will be between Charlie and Ryan. Jaime predicted Greg, because he's a NY-er.

There are about 80 fewer messages here than in last week's show! I wonder if that reflects the return of A.I.? I'm going to check on the ratings for last night.

Interesting that Bob predicted Charlie or Ryan and Jaime predicted Greg. Does that mean Russell wins?!?!?!

I soo wanted her to dump Russell....He is just playing her....She wanted to see if he would change and he even said during his date (to the cameras) that he wasn't doing what he would normally do because he was doing what she wanted him to do....Hmmmm...that tells you that he isn't really "Changeing"....

She picked Greg because of their conversation on the group date and how his eyes 'sparkled' at the fire pit....

Next week if she keeps Russell...I won't be able to stomach it!

I liked 'Bob's comment about a couple of people she picked wouldn't have been in his top 15...if he were her....I know that was mostly about Russell...She sees Russ differently because he's acting differently around her than he is with the guys....A friggen Rooster around the Guys...


I Loved it when Charlie talked one on one with Trista and basically said that he didn't 'Kiss and Tell' the guys about their date...he told them everything about the waterpark, the restaraunt and the CAR...but, nothing about what went on between him and Trista....That would have melted my heart right there! (It also was a hint to Trista [don't know if she got it or not] that the rest of the guys are talking {insert RUSS's Name here] about what is going on!


DUMP RUSS...DUMP RUSS....I am still not going to put him in my choices for next week (even tho' I may loose points again...It is a matter of principle!)

Ok, which one is Greg? (the shorter blonde one with shaggy hair?)

I only caught the private date with Charlie and Ryan, VCR messup. Who else did she have a private date with? I guessing Russ and I'm guessing he kissed and told?
(I got to see the part where Charlie was telling the rest about his date and didn't reveal any intimate details)

Rob is the shorter one with shaggy blonde hair. He wasn't picked.

I'll find pix.... hold on...

Webkitty, Greg is the one with kinda a long nose and really curved eyebrows and not the Brad Pitt wannabe. The other "private date" was with Russ - they went for a ride in a blimp.

Russ reminds me of someone I've seen on TV before, but I can't remember who.

There's something about Ryan that I don't like - he kinda looks like he needs to wash his hair or face or brush his teeth or something - can't put my finger on it!

Glad she got rid of Bob and that Brad Pitt thing (his hair hanging in his face was driving me crazy)!

rob

This is Rob- shorter with shaggy blonde hair (and the one I would have been smitten with!)

Hermione69

Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 06:51 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Cinjeo! I love Rob's hair!

I must be very weird.

Anyway, this is Greg:

That's actually not a flattering picture of Greg. He has grown on me looks-wise. His eyes are very striking and he has nice shoulders.
