Cupcake | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 01:59 pm     Would one of you nice East Coasters please be on-line to let us impatient West Coasters (like me) know who he chooses? Thanks! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:13 pm     Yes, I will come let you know Cupcake. If I do not show up my computer is having a spell. They are frequent as of late. |
Sbw | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:41 pm     Don't forget tonight's episode is 2 hours long. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:55 pm     I'll be here. Does it start at 8 though since it is 2 hours? Guess I need to check the TV Guide.... |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:12 pm     I'll be here. Starts at 9 right after TAR. This is the 1st time I'll be watching all of the Batchelor because of watching TAR. |
Cupcake | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:21 pm     Thanks everyone! Twinkie, Fruit and Cupcake - we sound like a law firm specializing in food cases.

Fruitbat | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:05 pm     Well they just gave it away! The promo within the show shows Aaron standing in two different positions with each woman for the ending. The promo earlier on ET shows Aaron saying what he was about to do was heart breaking. The tree behind his head was definately in his position with Brooke. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:12 pm     Well, here we are. So far just recaps and a comment about it being the most dramatic ending yet or something like that. Helene meets the parents first. Oh my, he is even on a billboard for his bank! Aaron's family must be loaded. He's got this wondeful loft apartment that does not look cheap and he has two "hobbies," one that is this restaurant he is opening and the other is flying planes. Helene meets Aaron's dad and he takes them up in a plane. He seems to be charmed by her. Now she meets the mom and grandmother. Mom and grandma seem to be witholding judgement for now. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:15 pm     family seems to like Helene. Ask her what she does when not having fun. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:15 pm     Suddenly jump to Brooke trying on diamond rings. ??? She seems terribly vulnerable and comments about how her hand is shaking. Personal commentary-- I just don't get a feeling of genuineness where Helene is concerned. I keep thinking about her comment about not liking to lose or not wanting to do it if she isn't going to win and I can't help wondering if she REALLY is into Aaron or if that strong competitive streak is clouding her head? Commercial... |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:16 pm     His family will like Helene better. It looks like a good fit. They were impressed that she is a school psychologist. Aaron is very rich. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:16 pm     Brooke trying on engagement rings wondering what's happening with Aaron and Helene. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:19 pm     Aaron's family asking Helene some really tough questions....why hasn't she found the right guy by now? She says she was engaged and called it off because he wasn't the right guy for her. Says she would relocate. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:23 pm     Aaron's family says his sister in law has set the bar high to measure up to. Sounds like dad doesn't want to rush anything. Mom says she liked Helene but also can't wait to meet other girl. Helene say after meeting his parents she would definitely accept a proposal. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:24 pm     Helene meets the brother and sister in law. Mom asks the infamous question "Why have you not found Mr. Right?" Helene, "Focused on career, was briefly engaged, but called it off..." Aaron says he stayed quiet to sit back and watch. Thinks Helene handled it well. Bro and SiL are impressed, SiL likes her independence. Mom says Helene was "absolutely great." Sucking face in the limo now. Aaron-- tomorrow will be very important because I really need my family's help. (I thought he was already in love with one of the girls? If it is Helene, they love her so what's the problem?) |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:27 pm     How secure will his choice be upon viewing this show and seeing he has still not made up his mind? Will she wonder if he continually regrets his choice? |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:30 pm     Brooke says she was getting a little worried about what happened on his date with Helene. Now Brooke is at his apt. Now showing her the restaurant he is opening. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:31 pm     Brooke says she is putting on her game face to meet parents. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:32 pm     Brooke's turn. She is getting the grand tour. In his loft. Gushes more than H did. Said she wants to be the one to give it a woman's touch. Now at Trolley's, the restaurant. Brooke- "His parents met a wondeful young lady yesterday and I am very nervous about the whole comparison/contrast thing." Now doing the airplane thing. Dad seems to like Brooke also. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:34 pm     Now in the plane. Now at parent's house meeting grandma and mom. mom asking where she's from....brooke says she should have already graduated school. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:36 pm     Now in the back of the boat with mom while dad and Aaron are up front driving boat. Dad asking him which one he's more drawn to. Aaron says he doesn't know. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:37 pm     Brooke is hugging Mom and Grandma. Talking about college and her plans. "I'm looking at a couple law schools in Springfield!" Boat ride. Brooke and mom bonding; Aaron and dad really getting into it about the girls. Now Helene is trying on rings. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:38 pm     Now Helene trying on rings. Saying she's definitely ready for a ring from Aaron. Aaron's dad brings up tattoo to Brooke she says she's not sorry she got it. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:39 pm     Things seem more relaxed with Brooke and she connected with Mom or so it seemed. (on the boat) |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 06:40 pm     Do you guys really think he is in love with one of them? If so, what's up with the straddling the fence and out of sight, out of mind comments?? |
