I started this conversation for those of us who think Helene is a good match for Aaron. She seems to be the most level headed, although she does seem to be falling for him. Which is ok, but still I would be cautious. Hopefully, he will be appreciative of her and not fall for all the women that will be out to get him now.

I agree with you. Like I've said in other posts, I really think that he'll propose to her because a long distance romance just won't work. Put yourself in his shoes for a second. He's from a rather small town in Missouri. He's 28, would like to get married, and has probably dated almost every available lady that interests him from the area that he lives and still hasn't found the right one. Also remember, that he isn't going anywhere-the family banking business has him tied down. This is his big opportunity to make it with somebody that may be the right one. I say he goes for it, proposes, and she moves to Missouri.

I can tell you one thing, if he doesn't keep Helene, I will not watch anymore Bachelor! Simply because it is very obvious that he is very much interested in Helene.

My wife maintains that Aaron is attracted to Helene because she either wasn't, or at least acted like she wasn't, attracted to him in the beginning. She figures women have "thrown" themselves at Aaron his whole life so he's used to, and maybe a bit tired of, the "I want to have your baby" approach. She scored big points last night with the willingness to relocate and the not working when the children are young business. Marry that with her brains and beauty and you've got a good candidate to take home to mom and dad.

I agree with you Mack. Can you imagine marrying into Brooke's family. With all of the baggage there, the Alabama room, and "Nascar is like fine wine" when you don't like auto racing, that would scare the h#ll out of me. Helene sure seems to have it all. I also think that Aaron scored a whole lot of points with Helene at the end of the night - by telling Gwen that he was in love with someone else. That probably got him out of doing a lot of explaining about the bedroom time with Gwen and the hot tub with Brooke.

That's an interesting observation about Aaron doing a lot of explaining about the dates. (By the way, my wife maintains that Brooke "lost" her top in the hot tub scene....guess I missed it.) My take is that Brooke and the departed Gwen would say little if anything about what Aaron did or didn't do on the overnight dates. Not sure Helene would be that "forgiving".....she may not say much now but she won't forget either. Of course, that's why women are like computers....they save all the mistakes you make and bring them back to haunt you later. :-)

Hey Mack, I think Brooke had on a strapless bikini top. I don't think Helene will be too upset about the other two all-night dates because she isn't in love with Aaron. She said she was falling for him but she has not let her gaurd down all the way. She most likely wonders but she knew what she was getting herself into and therefore should not be upset.

A couple of things - on the other board, somebody said that if you looked really hard, Brooke did have a tie in her hairline when in the hot tub. And Denecee, IMHO, Helene has also fallen for him pretty hard and the fences have come down. She would not have brought up being proposed to if she wasn't. She is going to have a lot of questions about what occurred and he saved himself somewhat, but like Mack said, she's not going to forget. But, I agree with you, she is mature enough to get over it and tell Aaron that his fun is over and it had better not happen again!

Ah see...I was being a good guy thinking little Brooke wouldn't do such a thing as go topless and my wife led me estray!!! :-)

I totally forgot about the "NASCAR is like a fine wine" comment until I read this board! My hubs and I were laughing so hard we almost missed the Bamma room.

I've always liked her the best, I'm so glad he picked her!

Don't you miss watching her (and him for that matter) on TV? I hope they show us an interview with them sometime.....

It would be nice if we got updates.... wonder what happened to the Bachelorettes in Alaska couple?

I totally forgot about that show. Who were the couple? The curly-haired blonde, (Sissy?), and that dark-haired divorced dad? They were the only ones who decided to stay together weren't they?

Sorry, this if way off topic. But I agree. Updates would be nice. I heard the Bachelorette isn't airing until summer. Maybe we'll get an update on Aaron and Helene before then.

Ariasmum, where did you hear that the Bachelorette was being postponed until summer? I know the show already finished filming and is in post-production right now.

Shortnsweet, it was on a City TV out of Toronto. I may be wrong. Hopefully I am.

Could it be postponed in Canada? Here is an article from Tuesday saying the Bachelorette starts January 6:

Zap2it Bachelorette Article

Both Amanda & Alex and Helene & Aaron said that having to wait to see eachother after the show finished airing was very stressful, and hurt their relationships. Could you imagine having to wait 8 months?

To all of you who thought that Helene was like Shannon and asked Aaron too many questions - I would just like to say that I always liked Helene. I am like that with a guy, the way you get to know someone is to ask them questions. I never thought she appeared naggy, just inquisitive. Aaron obviously was attracted to that. She never appeared manipulative, just realistic. Gwen and Brooke both appeared very needy and would be the type of dependent woman that wouldn't really click with him in the long run. I don't know why everyone liked Gwen so much. She was already married and appeared on that dating show. I think she just wanted a husband. Whereas, Helene waited to see if there was an emotional attachment and chemistry that they could build on. She never said she loved him right away like all the other quacks. Time will tell, I guess.

I am glad they are not postponing Bachelorette until this summer.

It was Brent and Sissy on Bachelorettes in Alaska. I did some digging around. The forum on that board says that they didn't make it.

So, did the lovebirds spend Thanksgiving together? Anyone know?

I wish we knew. I guess where they are spending their holidays should be very interesting.
