Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:16 pm     DO NOT LOOK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW!!! . . . . . Believe it or not he picked Jen, I was so glad. (22) |
Ducky | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:19 pm     You can see the answer in New Messages. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:21 pm     Oh,Oh, what do I do to get rid of it. |
Ducky | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:23 pm     Doesn't bother me. Can you still edit it and leave some space in between your answer. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:26 pm     no, the time is up |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:29 pm     Thank-you , thank-you secret agent 22 |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:48 pm     Thank freakin' God! Even after seeing only 2 minutes of that other woman, I had hoped he'd pick Jen. |
Pamy | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 06:50 pm     Wow! I thought for sure it was the other one, the way she always winked at him when he gave her the rose. Oh well, doesn't matter he probably has all ready broken up with the one he picked! |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:02 pm     That is exactly what I said to my sister when I phoned her when it was over. |
Mlt | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:06 pm     Pamy, you want to know what I didn't say. Well, I think you might have just seen one of them on television (I'm rewatching on ABC) - that the exboyfriend becomes an issue again. The second one is that both Kirsten and Jen mention being sick at the final rose ceremony. The difference is that, as Kirsten is leaving after Andrew tells her that he loves Jen, Kirsten mentions getting sick when she thinks about Andrew proposing to Jen. On the other hand, Jen says that she feels sick as she's about to step out of the limo. Jen is absolutely convinced it isn't her. She thinks she's arriving too early. And she feels like she's going to be sick. The final one (my favorite) is that she seems almost stunned when Andrew proposes. After she accepts, and as it suddenly seems to sink in, she asks him to do it again (so that she can remember it). It was so adorable. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:08 pm     Ok, you weren't kidding, sorry. Those were great moments though. Kirsten is sick about not being a Firestone, not about not being Mrs Andrew Firestone. |
Mlt | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:14 pm     Actually, Llkoolaid, I sort of was kidding <g>. I just wanted to post some of my favorite moments (do you get the impression that I was rooting for one of the women in particular? <g>) |
Bracken | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:15 pm     And the brother came to the rescue. If Andrew does end up with Jen long term, he can thank him for years to come. I still think the sister liked Jen better but wanted to stay out of this one. I just love that the brother felt obligated to tell Andrew about her duplicity. I just hope he felt more strongly about Jen than he just said he did and that it wasn't a choice because Irsten lied about the BF. |
Pamy | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Thanks Mlt!!! |
Pamy | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 07:32 pm     ps..I am westcoast so it hasn't even started here yet |
Jbean | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 08:22 pm     oh, i am SO happy with this ending. jen is such a doll. kirsten is the one who made ME sick. thought it was funny that his sisters could see through her (like TOTALLY, oh my gosh). whatever. i was starting to worry there toward the end because editing really wasn't going either way, and i just don't think kirsten was sincere. anyone else think that her "crying" in the limo was fake? she LIKE TOTALLY grated, like, on my last, like nerve. sorry. i just wonder where they get some of these girls. and bob as the next bachelor hell, maybe i should sign up, but as my friend said, my mom's house isn't a mansion, my butt isn't a size 2 and i am not wealthy at all....so i already don't have a chance. lol. like i would really sign up anyway. ha ha ha! ah, so glad i can relax now that the show is over and the right thing was done! |
Donut | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 08:35 pm     and it was cute when she said she didnt remember anything and he smiled and said"thats ok, i think we got it all on videotape" i am cracking up at all the comments on all the threads about Kirsten's voice. Because I never really noticed it much before, and it was driving hubby NUTS tonite, and then i saw all the comments from you guys that were just like my hubby's. He said she probably didnt talk much on the other episodes, and i think that is partly true. I also think she was more nervous and trying really hard with the family and it came out more.. |
Willwillbee | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:08 pm     I was floored!! I did NOT see that coming! I am so proud of him, I think he made the right choice, I've just never seen a guy make the right choice. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:03 pm     I think Kirsten did herself in when he told her he looked silly to his family regarding what he told them about the ex boyfriend situation, then she comes and tells a different story. His ego was bruised by her. It was hers for the taking but she messed up. Jen didn't win tonight, Kirsten lost. When the bro was telling Andrew about the converstaion, he looked like he was going to cry. I don't think his feelings for Kirsten were anything more than lust and his desire to have the hot wife on his arm. She made him look like a fool and thats what won it for Jen. I don't think he is in love with Jen but then again, maybe the editing was THAT good. I do know if I were Jen watching this, I would be upset that he could say he was leaning towards Kirsten even after Jen met the family and a few days before he professed his love for her. I wish them the best but she doesn't like animals and he lives on a ranch...I don't know about that one. As nice as she seems I am always leery of people who don't like animals. |
Jhezzie | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:06 pm     This was the only episode that I watched and I think he made the best choice. That other girl was soooooo annoying to me, lol. Her voice alone was...eeeek. |
Max | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 10:57 pm     WOO HOO!!! I'm so happy with this outcome. Totally NOT what I expected, though! Kirsten is just not a nice person, IMHO. I liked her at first, but she really put her foot in it several times when visiting his family. She wouldn't answer questions about what she wanted to do with her life directly. She came across, to me, as a gold digger. And it really clinched the deal (as far as her character) when she said that bit about feeling sick thinking of Andrew and Jen as she rode off in the limo. I just hope this one lasts (none of the previous bachelors has made it to the altar yet)! I bet his sister was thrilled. |
Mlt | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 11:30 pm     Fab, I'm not so sure that Kirsten lost as opposed to Jen winning. I think the comment made by Andrew when he found out that she'd told his brother a different story about the boyfriend was just a comment made in anger. You know, sort of saying: 'You might have got the ring if you hadn't played me for a fool.' And I took the tears as the same thing - anger at feeling like a fool. (But I may be wrong). However, I think Kirsten killed any feelings Andrew had for her at that moment. After all, he was closer to tears when he said good-bye to Tina than he was when he said good-bye to Kirsten. And I never felt as if Andrew was in love with Kirsten. I think he was in lust, but not love. I really think he loves Jen (but, of course, I have no real way of knowing what is going on in his heart) |
Twinkie | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 11:34 pm     I thought it was soooo cute when Jen was able to do the family "hippopotomas nose" thing! LOL |
Beachcomber88 | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 11:53 pm     Two in a row now that the "right" decision was made! First Ryan, now Jen! While I am not a fan of Mr. Firestone and have said so here before, I am very happy for Jen and the hopeful future that they will have together. She seems like a nice, down-to-earth, midwestern girl. If Andrew would have picked Kirsten, I think all of America would be rooting against them. I totally was not fooled by ABC's editing. As they cut to commercial, there was the clip of Jen saying "I don't think it's me." And then when Kirsten was driving up in the limo and said "Everything points to my having a ring on finger tonight", I knew that she was history. During the proposal, Andrew's lack of eloquence was refreshing to see. Even with all the glitz, the cameras, the Firestone name, he's just a nervous guy proposing to his future wife. While Kirsten is much maligned here on these boards, I definitely think that she is more physically attractive and exotic. It was her personality and the other things that did her in. I thought it was very foretelling how the family kept commenting on her beauty but possible lack of substance. Jbean, I thought her tears in the limo were indeed genuine. She had her heart broken, and it obviously hurt. I felt bad for her. I was disappointed at her comments about wanting to throw up knowing that Andrew was proposing to Jen. Wish she would have showed a little more class, but instead she showed that she was a sore loser. I doubt that ABC will pick her to be the next Bachelorette knowing how unpopular she is with everyone. |
Mydogbuffy | Monday, May 19, 2003 - 04:21 am     I thought he would choose Kristen but HOPED he would choose Jen and I am so proud that he did. But I will wonder if he will still be thinking back to Kristen when problems arise. RE: The show - I thought Kristen would NEVER SHUT UP! she talked without really saying anything ..rambling on and on - double talk that his family saw right through. I hope they are both happy and have a lot of little firestones. |
