Tonights show...1/15
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:44 am     hermione, i did not see brook as a sore loser, either. i felt bad for him. after i got over that, i decided it would have been way too much for him to give something up as important as the rodeo, and he will find a perfect girl for himself! i still don't know why the production crew ever even let it get to where he and trista were on the same show....a guy who is around animals half his life and a gal who can't be anywhere in the vicinity of an animal. and when he did make it on the show, she should have not given him the rose the first time around and gotten his hopes up, if she knew their lifestyles were imcompatible... maybe brook will end up being on the bachelor, where he can choose a woman for himself. he may be kicking himself for saying to her that she was shallow, but i am thinking that, too, the way she jumped ship on her dream job so quick for stardom and whatever air time she can get on television! they say everytime a door closes, another one opens...well, brian walked out the door last night just as my front door opened---- but, it was just my son returning from working out with his friends! LOLOL |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:57 am     Acutally, I was gonna comment on how often "alcohol was involved" in last nite's episode. I'm no prude, but it looked like every beverage they had was alcohol. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 11:04 am     weener, you are so right. and i thought it was kind of strange for trista to have that look on her face when they were telling her about jack being out on the lawn...she looked disgusted (actually, it looked like another scene had been edited in there, because her expression was so out of step with what was going on....??????).... so we are left to surmise she had a problem with the alcohol and the guys' reactions to it, then used her own consumption of too much alcohol as her excuse for taking off with russ... okay for her to use alcohol as an excuse, but not excuse it for the guys' behavior? tsk, tsk, tsk, krista!! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 11:47 am     Being a physical therapist, for anyone, is boring and repetitive. I fault no one for having higher aspirations. Life is fluid and one accepts what is offered or appears. Trista has a shot at a more interesting and satisgying career, why fault her for that? It amazes me sometimes that there is a predjudice against a career in the media if one can get one. The money is better than most jobs and money eases the skids. Why not go for what makes your heart sing? Putting childrens limbs though 90 or 180 degrees of motion for hours on end is not rewarding. Sounds noble on paper but the actuality is tedium. I like her and I like Bob. He does not have a chance in hell but I like him. |
Realfan | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 11:56 am     On the Brooke thing, I don't fault Trista for picking him in the first round despite the horse allergy. She may not have had a chance to find out if he was still a rodeo guy or it was something he once did and no longer did, or if he actually lived in a city, or anything else. She only had a few hours to evaluate all the men. We don't know what kind of bios she was given, if any, so I cut her slack on that one. |
Max | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 11:58 am     One person's tedium can be another person's passion, ya know. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 12:10 pm     Well, Fruitbat, you are speaking as if it is a given that a job in the media should be considered a higher aspiration than being a physical therapist. Some of us would beg to differ on that. Just because a job is more public, pays better, or gets your face plastered across magazines and the TV does not make it a higher calling. There are physical therapists who would call their jobs extremely rewarding and there are media people who go home at night feeling empty inside. There is no one size fits all formula for happiness. I don't fault Trista for riding out her 15 minutes of fame, but neither am I impressed. I would have been more impressed if she had gone back to PT work because I personally think that is nobler. |
Cricket | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 12:21 pm     Curious1 stated: Quote did you all notice how Bob said "I'm not going to say anything to Trista about jack (think that's his name) getting drunk and carried out to the lawn last night, that's his story to tell if he decides too" and then it immediately showed him saying "trista did you hear about jack's adventure last night?" speaks volumes for what I think of Bob..... End Quote Thanks for bringing that up, Curious. I was flabbergasted when he did that. It showed something about his true character. Kind of a busybody. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 12:30 pm     I meant no offense. A very close friend of mine is a physical therapist and he bored out of his mind. We have talked extensively about his job. He claimes, for him, that many days are spent in repetitive exercizes with patients that make little progress, if any. Though he is inspired by those that progress, many are slatted to never regain much movementand those that are are a given. He would kill for a more glamorous job even if it meant less money, and he does not make that much. Being a queen he thinks the scrubs are atrocious as well. It is not a fault if someone wants fame of glamor. I like Trista and if I were in her position and offered a a job in the media I would jump at it. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 12:40 pm     Fruitbat, you didn't offend me, I was just pointing out that a job in the media is not necessarily everybody's dream or a surefire recipe for happiness. I, for one, would be miserable in the limelight. But Trista obviously must not have the same aversion or she wouldn't be on the show in the first place!! I wish the best of luck to her regardless of her career aspirations. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 12:51 pm     I want to be famous.  |
Rabbit | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 01:06 pm     You are! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 01:15 pm     awwwwwwwwwwwww that is my boy. Is that a good thing by the way? I have little restraint, as you may know. |
Egbok | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 01:47 pm     Fruitbat, you'll always be famous in my book!! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 01:58 pm     fruit, my physical therapy comment only concerned trista, and then, only because they made such a big deal out of it and trista went on and on about how fulfilling it was and how much she loved helping the kids...and they showed the video and the little boy kissing her after his therapy. it just seemed such a wonderful occupation, especially as trista's voice-over told us how and why she was in this profession that was exactly what she wanted. my daughter, who wants to be a pediatrician, saw the trista spots of her doing the pediatric physical therapy and is half-way changing her mind from wanting to be a physician to becoming a physical therapist, all because she saw how rewarding it was for trista and her little patients! i would find it repetitive and exhausting, but then i worked ambulance and e.r. and a lot of people couldn't handle a job seeing all the trauma and medical emergencies, either. (for the first few months of emt school, i wondered if i could go to an accident scene and help 'without having to look'! lol) you're still famous, though! long after trista's show is over and we are watching 'orphaned bachelors in mazatland XIV', you will still be famous! |
Hermione69 | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 08:27 am     Also what Tabby said. But I really didn't mean to sound like I was jumping down your throat, Fruitbat. I felt bad! I think its normal to project our own feelings onto these people and think what we would do in the situation. P.S. I agree, you ARE famous! You are the celebrity of TVCH! |
Kathat | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 10:46 pm     OK, I am going back to the Brook part only because I wasn't home to comment earlier...I think they are both right; however, I found it a little bit immature of Brooke to say she was shallow. She was being perfectly honest in saying she couldn't be around horses and also, I believe, very thoughtful, knowing how important they are to him. He should know better than to say he will give them up when they are such an important part of his live and livelihood! I think that is not being honest, but I am sure he was being sincere at the moment...he just needs to experience life a little more to know you do not give up that much of ourself for anyone. I personally really like him, but I loooove animals (and am married). I know if my husband would have told me he did not like animals or accept mine before we were married I would have never continued our relationship (I know it is different w/people being allergic, however, that would still be difficult for us animal lovers)!!!

Fruitbat | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 04:29 am     Thanks all. I can be blunt so I just wanted to be sure I hadn't stepped on toes. I sometimes do. |
Sherbabe | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 08:13 pm     Trista is in a lay-out is Maxim. That is a man's magazine. She has panties on. |
Hermione69 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:34 am     Panties and nothing else??? Whoa, Nellie! |
Webkitty | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:54 am     Oooh, I wonder how Charlie feels about this! lol. I don't fault Trista on the Brook thing either. She is allergic to horses, he has a horse ranch. I found nothing shallow about that. (I think he chose the wrong word) Also, it seems as if she had already given her heart to Charlie by that point. She did the right thing by not stringing Brook along, especially since he seemed to take this opportunity to win her seriously. Bat, you are famous here |
Hermione69 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:05 am     "She is allergic to horses, he has a horse ranch." Webkitty, then why oh why oh why oh why did she even pick him at the first ceremony? She made it SUCH a big deal when she talked to him before the second ceremony. I don't believe that she didn't know yet for the first ceremony. His rodeo gig and horse ranch is something he would undoubtedly be proud of and as I'm sure he had no way of initially knowing she was allergic to horses, I'm sure he talked it up, even if he only had 5 minutes. I'm actually not on Brook's side. I don't think Trista and Brook would have ever meshed and his comment that he would give up horses for her was ludicrous and one that he would have resented her for later had she taken him up on it. I'm truly middle ground and think they both made valid points; I'm just playing devil's advocate. I'm just running my mouth. I'm just blowing out hot air. ;) |
Webkitty | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:17 am     Maybe she got a little nudge from the producers (on why she picked him in the first round) Just a thought. |
Hermione69 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:21 am     Okay, okay. And she may not have known. As Realfan said, who knows how much time she really had or what information she was given. I do think she is probably encouraged to pick certain others to round out the numbers from who she really wants. I concede. Sigh. LOL! |
Tabbyking | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 02:45 pm     i would blame the producers, then. if this was truly about someone finding someone else to MARRY, the very detailed applications would have to ask about animals and or hobbies...trista must have voiced this allergy herself or put it on her application. it's not something small like 'doesn't like the color aubergine very much' lolol |
Fruitbat | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 03:18 pm     Nahhhhhhhhh Come on........this is just entertainment. It is up to the contestants to supply the info to eliminate or not. The allergy adds drama and an interesting detail as to why someone may not work for another. Falls into the catagory of.........How could we have thought of that one? Good TV. The odds of her being attracted to more than one or two is slim anyway. |
Hermione69 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:58 pm     "The odds of her being attracted to more than one or two is slim anyway." Geez, I must really need to get some then because there were at least 10 that floated my boat!!!!!! |
Fruitbat | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:06 pm     LOL! At a glance yes, but after an evening of talking to them I bet your field would narrow.  |
Tabbyking | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:44 pm     hey, i had to get the word 'aubergine' in for whoever it is that always uses that fancy term for the color of 'eggplant' LOL |
Hermione69 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Man, Ms. Bat, I can't afford to be that picky. Tabby, nice job working in "aubergine" for we all know who! |
Mack | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 08:27 pm     I thought calling her "shallow" was a bit over the edge...but what the heck, it's not exactly like this show is based on slow developing relationships. Actually, I couldn't help but notice what an ugly dress she wore..... :-) (Talk about shallow.....) |
