Djgirl5235 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 05:15 am     That was such a fulfilling evening last night in the romance department anyway! I was looking for clues all night that she wouldn't choose Charlie, and the one thing that really got me was the chemistry between she and Ryan, and a little thought that kept nagging in my mind... Her mother kept harping on the fact that Charlie's so much like everyone else Trista had dated, and Ryan so different... My bf is so different from anyone else I've ever dated, and I know that he is the one for me, no question at all, no doubt about it. That's the true test, because obviously things didn't work out with those "other" guys! I was SOOOOO happy with the outcome, romance did definitely win this week! I'm even taping the special tonight (Survivor's on, I have my priorities straight!), and will watch it after CSI just to see Trista and Ryan again. I don't know if anyone else noticed last week, but Trista actually lit up like a Christmas Tree when she was asked if she was in love, and it certainly looked it to me last night... Oh I hope, I hope, I hope this works out!!!! |
Marameko | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 05:43 am     I am so glad that I was wrong in assuming that she would pick Charlie.........All is good this week first Zora & Evan and know Trista & Ryan. My clue was when she smiled so broadly whe she saw Ryan in the video. I did notice the stuffed animal in bed with her, but I was still dreading that Charlie would win and would not allow myself to dream that she would pick Ryan. So glad she will move to Vail, please never let her hurt that wonderful man. Every woman needs a Ryan in her life, I kept saying to myself, he is so deepppppppp which just makes him irresistible. I am one HAPPY CAMPER |
Froggiegirl621 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:12 am     I loved, loved, loved the ending last night!!! I couldn't have asked for anything more. I was watching cuddled in my bed with a big smile on my face the whole time, tissues at hand. And then the minute she said "...but my heart has led me another way." I leapt up in the bed and started jumping up and down, screaming (my poor neighbors!) Then I started to cry... He is such a romantic guy, a total sweetheart. I think Trista's step-mom or mom summed it up for me. She said something like "When Ryan speaks its important" She hit it on the head, he's so eloquent (sp?)...it would take me a half hour to plan out the words that just spill out of his mouth. Truly a prince-charming in my eyes!!! <SIGH> |
Back2reality | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:15 am     Wow...I must be in the minority. I really wanted her to pick Charlie. I thought he was better suited for her. I think she will get bored with Ryan. JMHO |
Luvmom | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 06:56 am     I had to come see what everyone thought of last night.I too used up a box of kleenex.I believed in Ryan from the beginning.I didn't even have Charlie in my first 15.I didn't see anything appealing about him.I am so glad she chose Ryan!!!! |
Bastable | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:36 am     She picked the absolutely right guy. Charlie really showed his true colors after she rejected him. He didn't seem to give any stock to her feelings, he could only prattle on about what a great catch he was and how stupid she was for not wanting him. SO arrogant! Love is not about prizes. Then again, what do you expect from a money-brained man. Ryan is adorable and he was the right choice. |
Pcakes2 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:36 am     A few thoughts... Quite a few people had mentioned Charlie saying that he WANTED to fall in love with her. I completely understand that. After all, they only had 5 dates, and honestly, how well do you really know someone after 5 dates with video cameras around all the time???? Ryan seemed to get freaked out towards the end. He almost became more obsessed with Charlie (and what Trista was doing with him) than Trista herself. How well is he equipped to handle Trista's interaction with other men in the "real world"???? Am I the only one who is happy that I don't have to hear Trista's "baby talk" voice any longer??? |
Needmylifeback | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:53 am     I am delighted that she chose Ryan over Charlie and I was one who was completly shocked....Did anyone notice that the rings that both Charlie and Ryan picked were the same (or at least very very similar!) |
Mack | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:54 am     As with most of the "reality" shows, BB being somewhat of an exception, we're at the mercy of the producers editing the video to create suspense and misleading conclusions. Certainly the producers admitted as much with Bachelor II as it apparently became painfully obvious that Aaron was going for Helene and Brook was really not in the game. If they'd shown the true exchanges nobody would have watched the finale. I'm not sure, nor am I suggesting, that it was that cut and dry with Trista and Ryan. However, the producers certainly "let" us think Charlie was the leading candidate. One particular comment by Trista really sticks in my mind was about how she was more attracted to Charlie because he had a realistic approach to their relationship and that she agreed she wanted to grow the relationship. In fact, as I recall, she considered Ryan's apparent love a weakness and a problem. Yet, in the final scenes, by her own comments, that she didn't think Charlie truly loved her and Ryan did! Producer video magic or normal human indecision? Take your pick. |
Webkitty | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:54 am     LoL Pcakes! When Trista and Ryan were on the EArly Show this morning, Ryan was baby talking right along with her!! I think they are really in love right now, but I wonder if Trista gets the opportunity for some sort of gig in showbiz, if that will cause a problem. The reason I say this is, as I watching them this morning, its so clear that Ryan is shy and Trista is exuberant, and ready for the cameras. She says she is willing to lead a quiet, normal life, as the wife a fireman, but I wonder. I guess time will tell. I did agree with her that Charlie was not "in love" with her. They do have more of a personality match, he could sit and schooze with her in front of the cameras, but maybe she doesn't want a husband that wants to share the limelight. Ok, I'm rambling now..... Bye! lol. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:14 am     Back2reality - glad to see I'm not the only one who wanted her to pick Charlie. He may not be "in love" with her now, but I think he was genuinely interested and that their personalities and their career goals were more alike. Call me a huge cynic, but I can easily see Ryan uprooting his life to trail around behind her following her hollywood career dream and getting left in the dust when she becomes bored with the adoration. But I've been wrong before. I agree with whoever said that Trista chose Ryan because he is different from the men she usually dated. Since those didn't work out, maybe trying a different kind of guy will. I was stunned by last night's rose ceremony. My chin hit the floor. I can't even imagine how many women will be throwing themselves at Charlie now. Too bad he lives so far away... |
Needmylifeback | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:17 am     O.K. Someone will have to recap what Regis and Kelly say about all of it this morning...I'm going crazy! (Even more that I already am! LOL!) Regis is being pre-empted by our Tucson Rodeo Parade (Our whole city practically shuts down for this event....) So no Regis this morning...and I was so looking forward to hearing what he had to say! Thanks in advance! |
Theowl | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:18 am     I'm with you, PCakes on the baby talk!! I wanted to mute everytime she started to talk, but I would have missed so much, so I put up with it. Did anyone also notice that after the Meet the Folks date, when they went to her hotel room, with Charlie they put up the "do not disturb" sign, and not with Ryan. That made me go Hmmmmmm!!! I was REALLY crying when Ryan was talking about his feelings for her, because I just KNEW she was going to hurt him. Honestly, I wanted Ryan to win by her NOT picking him, until I saw how hurt he would have been, so I guess it turned out OK. I really don't think she's much of a prize.  |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:19 am     Forgot to mention two things: The Globe had predicted Ryan would win weeks ago. I never saw the official Charlie spoilers, but the Globe had pictures of her with Ryan. I guess sometimes those magazines do print true stuff. This morning Ryan's mom was talking on the local radio about the engagement. She said Ryan had told her his plans are to be in Denver on Monday and to take the fireman test here. She added that she didn't know if this was true because Ryan has had to mislead them about things since he couldn't reveal the truth to them about the finale. Interesting that he would try to get a job in Denver. Perhaps Trista will move to Colorado, but to Denver, not Vail. She should have an easier time starting a career in the media in Denver. Plus our airport would make commuting to Hollywood easier. |
Pamy | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:20 am     I didn't watch this show much but loved the ending tonite. Ryn is so sweet. I think these 2 actually are in love unlike most of the others I have seen on shows like this. Good luck to them both |
Wargod | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:23 am     Good Morning America had Trista and Ryan on. I just caught a bit where there out front with the audience. They pulled Ryan's brother out of the audienc, Chris, who looks just like Ryan. He's single, so they had one of the Bachelor runner ups, Brooke? on the phone and set them up on a date...not sure if it was joking or serious, but Chris is a cutie and seemed embarrassed. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:33 am     Theowl, I agree about Trista not being the prize. There's something about her that bugs me a bit. I'm not sure I can describe it, it's like she comes across as feeling entitled to have 25 guys swooning over her. I think we've only heard her say once how lucky she was and that was weeks ago. If I had two wonderful guys wanting to be with me (and me liking both of them) I would be screaming how lucky I am! Maybe Ryan will be okay for her because he seems to think she walks on water and can do no wrong. She took no credit for her part in the relationship with Russ. She seems like she is someone who is always "right". I don't dislike her because she does seem nice and intelligent and sincere, I just don't think she's completely wonderful. |
Surealityjunkie | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:40 am     For people with AOL Chat Live With 'The Bachelorette' Trista and Ryan Thu., Feb. 20 at 6PM ET Trista and Ryan will join us for a special chat to answer questions from AOL members. Ask them about the show, their dates and how they feel about a relationship which was built while millions of viewers watched. Also, I was watching a more complete version of THE limo ride interview on AOL and Charlie said that he and Trista never entered into a sexual relationship. He said that she spoke of needing the intimacy between both of them (R and C) after the home visit at her parent's house to help her make a decision. He said that at that point maybe she was telling him in a round about way that he might not be the one |
Texannie | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:40 am     Needmylifeback..they didn't really talk about it all that much. In fact, both of them seemed rather clueless about the show today! Regis kept confusing Charlie and Ryan. It was quite odd considering how funny they have been in the past about it. The world pretty much stops for the Houston Livestock show here too. It used to be a school holiday when the trailriders came in when I was growing up.! LOL |
Denecee | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:43 am     I haven't had a chance to read above posts, but I'm looking forward to reading them. First, I want to say a few things about the finale. I want to gripe about the way the producers mislead us. During the date w/Charlie & parents, they showed us the clip of her father saying to Trista that he( I assumed he was Charlie & now feel like an a$$) asked for permission to marry you if it came to that. It's kind of sick the way they can make us believe one thing and a whole diff. thing happens. I guess I had my blinders on because as someone pointed out to me that Trista had a diff outfit when dad was telling her about the above. Now that it is over I see how many clues I missed. We were duped! That being said I would like to say how much I really liked Trista's family. The father & the step-Mother were my favorite and I agreed with everything they said. Charlie was too perfect. He knew exactly what to say. In the end, I don't think he was hurt at all. I also think he was just there to jump start a career. That's JMO! Ryan is a very good communicator even though he was very nervous with meeting the parents. He is either a very good actor or he really is in love with Trista. I know alot of people don't think love can happen that fast but there are always exceptions to every rule. Thanks ABC, I enjoyed the show except the part where you duped me and played with my emotions,LOL. |
Bakerygirl | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:45 am     Also on Good Morning America I felt bad for Ryan because Trista was still saying she wished she could have them both. I could not believe she was saying that. Ryan said people were so sure it was Charlie that everyone had been telling him how sorry they are, he said even if he told them he had won, noone would have believed him. I missed the part about Ryan's brother. I thought it was all over so I changed the channel. Charlie will be on the show tomorrow. Regis and Kelly did not really say alot, she did not even know which guy was which. She thought Charlie was the fireman. Regis said he wanted Charlie to win. He also said something about Charlie being a finacial anylist and he asked if there was such a thing? That's all I can remember, they were talking more about babies. Kelly's last day is tomorrow, they are giving her a baby shower and Kelly Osbourne will be there. |
Bakerygirl | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 08:54 am     I had no clue where to post this.. But did anyone see the View? Gwen and another girl was on there. I can't think of her name, I think she was the 3rd one. I only caught the end, they were with Joy at the mall and she introduced them to Kato Kalin. They went to Victoria Secret and the girls were trying stuff on and Kato had a rose and said he had to choose and decided he did not want neither one of them. Then he went to find Joy to give her the rose, it was pretty funny.. I wish I had caught all of it, I was just thinking last night I had not heard anything about Gwen lately. |
Wargod | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:15 am     Thanks, Bakery! I missed the first part, and when I got home, thought I'd see if I had missed the interview. Just happened to catch the outside part. I had totally forgot about them being on it until I walked in the door.....if I had, I would have come home sooner, lol. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:24 am     I didn't think Regis and Kelly were totally clueless but she admitted she only got interested at the end of last night.. but she was riffing on the babytalk.. too funny, Kelly was babytalking to Reeg, and he said that men like that, but then said men like women to be quiet too. The only other thing of note was that Kelly said that when Charlie was whining in the limo at the end, suddenly she heard her husband's voice from another room saying something to the effect of "get over it".. On the good morning show, Trista said that she and Ryan are BOTH open to moving, so it wasn't that she would definitely move to him or vice versa. Diane Sawyer said what I said last night.. that they've had tons of email saying that Trista had better not hurt Ryan.. that all feel protective of him. Ryan's little brother is a cutie. |
Realfan | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:29 am     ITA about the editing. I know they like suspense and all, but I feel the same way about this ending as I did about Joe Millionaire--whuuu? Why? When? I also noticed the fake-out with the father saying during the CHARLIE visit preview about him asking permission for her hand, but then in the actual show it was during the Ryan visit. Stupid fake-out for no reason, IMO. I think they're cute together, but I do wonder about its longevity. If anyone breaks it off, I think it will be Trista. I do agree that Charlie didn't seem heartbroken, or he has some real amazing composure. After Trista revealed that her reason was that Ryan loved her, I thought that made a lot of sense. I don't think Charlie was there yet, and Ryan definitely is. Don't know if it'll last, of course. I also am in a full-on hate-on over Aaron right now, from the previews for the Aaron/Helene interview. I never liked him anyway, so hate wasn't a far step to take. |
