Yuhuru | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 02:58 pm     Brooke Propose Accept Basically, I have no clue. |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 07:19 am     Oh, by the way I also think he will propose and she will accept, but now I am not so sure if it is Brooke or Helene I AM SO CONFUSED!!!!!! |
Ariasmum | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 10:52 am     I think we have one more week to decide, don't we? This week is just the reunion show and I don't think we will even see Brooke or Helene. Maybe we'll have a better idea once we hear what the rejects (and Aaron) have to say. |
Bakerygirl | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 12:08 pm     Yeah, i think i'll wait until after Wednesdays show.. Might get a better idea then. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 05:07 pm     I didn't realize that. I thought it was over tomorrow! Anyone who wants to change their mind after tomorrows show can!! |
Denecee | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:03 am     Puttergirl, you are so sweet. |
Closetfan | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:20 am     Puttergirl, I thought it was over tonight too... Now I don't have to wonder whether they show Aaron's choice at the beginning or end of tonight's show...cuz I guess it's next week! As of right now, I think it will be Helene, wait, yes. :-) |
Realbiz | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:27 am     Did anyone know why the final two (Brooke and Helene) didn't get to see Araon's parents/family? I remember last year they did in B1. The preview of the finale doesn't seem to show that?? I wish they would. |
Maggiegirl | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 03:03 pm     I saw somewhere that there is a 2-hour finale next week. |
Realbiz | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 04:11 pm     My pick: Brooke!!! |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 06:40 pm     I'm wondering if tonight's show was even planned at all? This was the show last year where the girls met his parents. Maybe his parents backed out at the last minute and they threw this show together to fill in for it. They didn't do one of these last year, did they? Or if they did, wasn't it afterward? |
Bakerygirl | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 02:48 am     They are meeting the parents next week, if noone figured that out yet. I didnt hear anything about it being 2 hours, but I hope it is. I really have no idea which one he will choose.. But I'm going to guess Brooke and I think he will purpose and she'll say yes. |
Jenhavins | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 05:38 am     Did anyone else notice that in the previews, Aaron was facing where we saw the right profile of his face when he was about to turn down one of the girls and then, was facing the left when he was talking to Brooke? Both my coworker and I saw it in the previews and I just wonder if the producers are toying with us? |
Ariasmum | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 07:31 am     I noticed that too. He's looking to the right of the t.v. screen when he says 'this is the hardest thing I've ever had to say' or something like that. It makes it look as though Brooke is on the left side and it is Helene on the right. Could be fooling us........... |
Mack | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 08:49 am     They did do an "all the ladies" show last year though I don't remember exactly where in the series. I'm thinking it was afterwards. As for the 2 hours next week....that's what my wife picked up from the show last night. We normally go to bed at 10 PM and she specifically said "We'll be staying up late next week!" And sure the producers are toying with us. I've seen the previews for next week a number of times trying to figure out exactly what Aaron might be saying to each lady. Obviously the producers have been very, very careful as there's certainly nothing obvious. The only thing I've noticed is that Brooke is smiling broadly in one scene and isn't a "basket case". I figure if she's not selected she'll be more upset than that and surely more upset than Helene. However, if these outtakes are early enough in the show neither of them has gotten the good or bad word yet. In other words....I haven't a clue!!!! :-) |
Realbiz | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 08:49 am     yes we will have a 2-hr finale next wednesday according to abc website. great, we'll get to see how araon's family thinks of the two girls! |
Denecee | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 09:05 am     Mack, you are so funny! I love reading your posts and I love how you sit with your wife and watch this show. It's so sweet. Ok, I'll shut up about that. I do think the producers are trying to fool us with the camera shots. I still think he will pick Helene. They are even trying to make it look like he proposes. I think if he does propose that it will be a long engagement. |
Mack | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 09:29 am     Gee...thanks....I'm blushing!!! Carey (aka Mrs. Mack) really likes this particular show. She'll watch Big Brother with me when it's one of the high drama shows but won't watch Survivor or the Race. We didn't pick up on the Mole until near the end last time so I'll have to wait to give you her opinion. It is fun to have her watch the Bachelor with me. As a pyschologist I may understand human behavior...well...kind of...sometimes....if I'm lucky....but Carey gives me a different view and feedback. Carey is trained as a engineer but really missed her true calling as a shrink, she very good at observing behavior and her comments on some of the ladies are priceless....some I can't repeat here. :-) |
Minnyace01 | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 02:33 pm     In case some of you have not checked out the ABC homepage for The Bachelor, they have changed the wording on it. I believe that it used to say something about getting a rose, final rose, etc., it now says - Aaron's quest for love comes to an end, but who will he choose? Brooke and Helene vie for his heart, but only one will get the ring. Tune in to find out who the lucky gal is! If someone is getting a ring, it sure sounds like a proposal to Helene. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Brooke |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 07:59 pm     I just went back a few pages and saw that I didn't answer everything. I am going against the odds with Brooke because I suck at this anyway and can't get any worse. He will propose and she will say yes , lets elope tonight. |
Puttergirl | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 03:49 pm     bump FOR NEXT WEEK, ADD THESE BETS FOR ONE POINT EACH: 1. Will Aaron propose? Pick from these 3 choices: a. He will propose marriage. b. He will talk about future marriage, but postpone proposing until they know each other better (like last year). c. He will not propose at all. 2. Will she accept proposal (only applies if he actually proposes)? a. Yes b. No (includes if she says "lets wait") We still need votes from Kiersten Love, Sar711, Theowl, Zeyna, Cricket, Avery258, Bac2fan, and Fabnsab |
Kiersten_Love | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 08:28 pm     I have no clue who stud man wlll pick as his mate...I didn't watch last week's show either...oh well, i am sure i didn't miss much again...but I think he will pick Helene, and if she is smart she will say lets wait..so that is what i will say, she says yes, but lets wait awhile. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 04:46 pm     Here's what we have as of tonight:

Sar711 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:12 pm     Ok I think Aaron is going to pick Helene...seems like she's always one of the first to be picked at the rose ceremonies and he gave her his cell phone # and he seems very intrigued by her.So he will propose and she will WIN oh I mean accept! |
Theowl | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:37 pm     I think he'll pick Helene and the proposal will be postponed until they get to know each other away from the house.  |
Cricket | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Hmmm, what will he do? It seems there hasn't been a lot of private interaction shown to us of him and Brooke and that could be a trick. I'm still going to have to go with Helene as the winner and they will postpone the actual engagement. He did say in a recent interview that he was still seeing the person he picked, so that doesn't sound like an engagement to me. Just my opinion. |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 08:09 pm     Wow, another one bites the dust!! It was fun while it lasted; I hope all of you join me again for the Bachlorette. Congrats to me again for a victory. I barely squeaked it out over Sar711. I hope everyone had fun with it. Final stats:

Closetfan | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 08:14 pm     Wow. Gotta love it. I picked Helene and yes...but I thought it would be postponed. Even so, I still think this is a stronger bond and future than we saw in B1. It will be interesting to see what happens. I thought Aaron was very closed with his emotions at first...but opened up in the last few weeks. I hope it works out as God intended...whatever that may be............ |
Sbw | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 08:30 pm     Congrats Puttergirl! |
Denecee | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 09:23 am     Yeah for Puttergirl! But, I think it would have seemed more realistic if he would have just gave her a rose. I think H&A make a good couple. He doesn't need clingy or emotional. Some have said that Helene nags but I don't see it that way. As I said in another folder, I don't think they will actually get married. |
Cricket | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 09:41 am     Congrats Puttergirl and all the other high scorers. I too thought the engagement would be postponed. They were on the View today and are still seeing each other but intend to have a 'long' engagement. It doesn't seem like a real engagement; I don't know why....can't put my finger on it. The both live in their same towns in Missouri and New Jersey and say they have no plans at this time for either to move. I agree with Closetfan. There does seem to be more of a bond between them than BB1, at least on Aaron's part. He seems smitten with her. I'm sorry; I still just don't see what he sees in her, but I guess that's what makes life grand, eh? |
Kiersten_Love | Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 11:20 pm     Congrats Puttergirl...You are the One!!!! |
