I think Trista will be ok. Butttt --- I don't see how exciting the Bachelorette will be. First of all, the men will be acting like fools. LOL

They will not fall over themselves like the women do.

I don't know how they are gonna turn this one around. I think it is gonna be weird, but hopefully fun.

You wanna put money on that, Ginger? I think watching the men will be even MORE fun. While women can sometimes be catty (and I disagree that it's a given, Hermione. I'm with Helene, I would have wanted to leave, too), men can very often turn into rutting stags.

Have you ever watched Elimidate or Chains of Love? Elimidate is really skanky and I don't watch it anymore, but I saw enough eps to see that the men always, ALWAYS feel the need to appear better than their "opponents." For a lot of them, that means strutting their stuff in the extreme. Think unbridled egos, obvious put-downs, braggadocio--even actual flexing of muscles. It can be hysterical.

I think seeing them act like fools will be a pleasant change from women, who are raised to be "ladies" and so resort to underhanded cattiness.

What the guys fail to see is often the more they act out, the less appealing they become to the women (well, not on elimidate, where the women are almost always skanks.)

Also on Temptation Island, watching the men compete for the women's attention is HILARIOUS!!

(I can't believe I just revealed that I watched TI. Actually, I watched TI2, not TI1, as if that redeems me.)

Hermi - I agree that Helene should have expected cattiness - I also kinda think it's easier for us to "armchair quarterback" because we're not there. Maybe the level of catty was way more than she prepared herself for! Who knows! hehehe

I don't watch Elimidate anymore either - I started out thinking it was funny, but the skank factor got to me too. I still do get a big hoot out of Blind Date, though.

And count me in for next week's Bachelor Blood Bath - I'm looking forward to it too!

Real, you really don't think it is a given that when you have 25 women competing for a man that there will be cattiness? I applaud your faith in humanity. You are a better person than I am. :)

I don't think that you are going to see the cattiness with the men that you see with the women. What you will see is a lot of beer drinking, BSing, and discussion about how far they got with Trista.

Donut, I think you just don't get Helene. The way she talks is a little bit nerves and a whole lot NJ. I had a friend from NJ and she talked very similar to Helene. I think Aaron is very intrigued with her, mostly because she doesn't look at him like she needs to be saved and that she is a challenge compared to the other women. The other women let him know early on that if he picked them, they would say yes. Anyway, I think you are being too hard on Helene but I respect your opinion.

Denecee - I agree with everything that you say about Helene, except the fact about her being a challenge for Aaron. I don't think that that had anything to do with him choosing her. He was intrigued with her physically to start with. She is a very attractive lady. He then found out that she is a very outgoing person so he doesn't have to carry every conversation with her. She is also a highly intelligent woman. He respects her because she is very sharp. She is also an extremely confident woman. She knows that she can survive without him, but with him, she found that it would be better. He is not going to have to be her father figure but will have a partner that he can better enjoy life with. They have a chemistry between them that couples that stay together for a long time possess.

True Minny! The only reason I said she was a challenge for him is because he has said that she was on a couple of occasions. I think he could handle her.

Well, Herm, I didn't see cattiness in Bachelor 1, but maybe I missed it.

Hermi, this is the only place that I can confess that I hope that they make a Temptation Island 3, because I never watched the first two! You, my dear TVCH friends, are the only ones who know my secret...

I think Helene is just playing it cool and taking it slow. She has the maturity some of the others didn't. Besides, who wants to get hurt on national TV? Did you notice on the show the other night Aaron reminded her that she had left her rose behind the past two times and she just said "oh really?" Yeah, she's playing it cool o.k. As far as looks and intelligence go, she's the perfect 'banker's wife.'
