Ryn | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:46 pm     Whooo - I'm A Celebrity!!!! off to that thread - lol |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:48 pm     Abby, I just saw your question. Yes, Charlie said that as he was walking to the limo, I think it was, and the host asked him what he was hoping for, and he said he was hoping to fall in love with Trista and start a family and I thought, "Huh? Hoping to fall in love? And you are on your way to propose?" |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:49 pm     My red flag was when she was watching the videos from the guys... Did anyone notice how big she grinned while she watched his tape? I was thinking to myself, "why is she grinning so big if she is going to choose Charlie?" Of course we now know that editing led us down the road to Charlie... |
Snoopsmom | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:50 pm     Wow, did that preview make Aaron look bad. Now I really want to watch that show tomorrow, course it's on against Survivor. Well, I hope Ryan and Trista do live happily ever after! If they break up in a couple of months, I don't think it bodes well for the future of Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. |
Grannyg | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:50 pm     YEA!!!! I'm so glad she picked Ryan!! I truly do hope everything works out. In the commercial they still looked so sweet together. Two fairy tales in one week.!!!!!!!WooHoo!! |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:54 pm     I caught that too, Surealityjunkie. She just looked positively delighted when Ryan's video message came on! |
Becca | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:54 pm     You know what? I actually think that it might be real between the two of them . I was watching them on their last date. At first, I was like Ryan, okay are they really suited for each other? But then, they were laughing together and acting like old friends. Watching them, I was like, she's going to choose Ryan. It says a lot when a couple can laugh together. |
Ginger1218 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:55 pm     All is right in reality tv land this weeek, first Zora, and now Ryan. I am happy. I was so upset thinking he was going to get his heart broken. I am sooo glad. |
Grannyg | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:57 pm     I just can't believe that both Joe M. and Bachelorette ended the way I wanted them to. Usually I'm wishing the other person would have won. Two nights this week!! Does this mean Daniel goes on Survivor tomorrow night instead of Janet? |
Kaili | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:58 pm     He is a doll- I haven't watched this show that closely- basically I watched in the beginning, then later fast forwarded to the rose ceremony of each episode. But I loved Ryan the first time I saw him in the beginning! |
Nathalia | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 07:14 pm     Wow what an ending! I'm so glad Trista picked Ryan. A tip-off to me was when they showed her waking up in bed and she was sleeping with the shamu stuffed animal Ryan had given her! I know Charlie will go on and have all the women he wants..I'm not worried about him. I was really surprised that Charlie got a ring too..but with ABC footing the bill..why not? Can't wait to see them in the morning on GMA and of course the special tomorrow night! I agree also that I never liked Helene but after seeing the promos for the show tomorrow I feel bad for her! |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 07:34 pm     >>A tip-off to me was when they showed her waking up in bed and she was sleeping with the shamu stuffed animal Ryan had given her! I noticed that too, Nathalia. I didn't think too much of it, I just thought it was sweet. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 08:29 pm     What a happy ending! Gee, first Zora on Joe M and now this, reality tv better watch out or it will start to get a good name I have to say, I was very upset when I started watching my tape. I wanted to watch AI first, so I taped the Batchlorette. When AI was over, I went upstairs to get in my jamies and watch it, and that stupid host from that stupid Get Me Out of Here was just saying, let me be the first to congratulate Trista and Ryan! Argh!! I didn't settle down and get over that I knew the end until it was almost over! I was sure she was going to pick Charlie, and it would have been such a (good) shock when she didn't. Anyway, I'm happy that it turned out the way it did, Ryan is a sweetie. Even though I knew how it turned out, the red flag for me was when Charlie was having dinner with her family, and he said that he hoped she would pick him, but if she didn't, life would go on for him, and he just wanted her to be happy. Something about that didn't ring true for me. I missed her sleeping with Shamu, but I did notice that Charlie's last message to her was rushed and seemed to have no feeling. But her eyes lit up when Ryan was giving his message. Very nice ending. |
Texannie | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 08:42 pm     My little girl and I are both battling a stomach bug so we were piled up in my bed watching and just grinning and crying during the rose ceremony!!! My dh came home and said that Ryan had been on the Dan Patrick show on ESPN today and said "I didn't cry tonite" so it made me wonder if he was the one...yea!!!!!!!!!!! |
Donut | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 08:50 pm     i was also so surprised and glad that she picked Ryan..i just wish they didnt swell up the music and trista didnt overshadow Ryan's reaction with her speech, because it disappointed me with the showbiz feel..I was more moved with Joe M. cuz it felt less staged and more human, which was surprising cuz i was really expecting to to just get all choked up when Ryan found out... but all in all it has been a surprising week for love and humanity on reality tv.. |
Curious1 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 08:52 pm     I'm so, so happy with the way this ended. BUT I feel really bad because some friends of mine who don't use the internet were sure all along that it was Ryan who would get pick and I told them over and over about the leaks and the extra smart people at TVCH who were so sure it was Charlie. They will never trust me again, my creditability is ruined, dang you ABC!!! LOL On a serious note, I wonder if knowing without a doubt that Trista slept with Charlie will bug Ryan to death. In past shows we might have suspected that the Bachelor slept with more than one girl but we never knew for sure. The whole world now knows she was indeed with Charlie. Also, I thought in the Limo when she confronted Charlie on that 'intimacy' issue she did sort of mislead him, at one point she straight up told him "you have my whole heart, but I can't lie and say I'm not having some feelings for Ryan too". Saying, you have my whole heart just seems misleading to me if you were fairly certain a week ago you were falling in love with Ryan. Oh well, I don't think Charlie loved her and I don't think they would have lasted, he would have had way to many women approaching him after this show and I'm not sure he could have resisted the attention of that. Ryan will be devoted and hopefully Trista will be too. |
Texannie | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 08:57 pm     Well, Ryan did at least spend the night with her twice cause he said that on the last night it was so hard cause they wouldn't wake up together...he even brought a change of clothes just in case. Do we know for sure that she had sex with Charlie? |
Ruditoo | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 09:04 pm     Great, happy ending. Now I'm really ready for BB IV 'uncensored'. Now that would be a happy ending, better still, a dream come true !!!!!! |
Egbok | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 09:48 pm     Woo Hoo!! I'm so pleased that Trista picked this wonderfully, sensitive man. I thought it would be Charlie and so this was a total surprise. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:30 pm     I'm really glad she picked Ryan too. I noticed the shamu thing right away, and then the fact that Charlie said to her on their very last night together, "I really care about you"... I think Charlie will be just fine. I think his ego will probably be the most hurt. |
Jhezzie | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:58 pm     I think what put her over the edge for Ryan was when her daddy told her that he had asked permission to marry her if she chose him. Was that just so sweet? And you know he was sincere, that he wasn't just blowing smoke. She totally knew that he really did love her right there. Then, we saw her wake up with Shamu...sigh...Charlie will get over it. He wasn't in love. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 01:04 am     The Shamu was the first thing that gave me hope But then the family (the women) seemed to like Charlie and Trista mentioned the location as a problem with Ryan but couldn't seem to come up with one for Charlie, but then the bit about Ryan talking to her dad the way he did.. and on the last dates I noticed that Charlie was making statements that sounded dramatic.. like he could just eat cereal and be with her, but with Ryan they seemed to enjoy the cooking and were just talking up a blue streak and laughing over dinner and then when they were snuggling it just looked more natural and sweet. But still .. even when I saw that Charlie was first, I had to think, but Evan "chose" the first one he talked to.. and then of course I picked up on Charlie saying he wanted to fall in love with her, but she wouldn't have heard that, and then when Charlie came in and went to kiss her, SHE turned her head!! Body language says so much.. but still as she talked it became clear.. With Ryan there was just immediate joy, he didn't go for the lips. and her words said it all.. just great! I'm so pleased.. But if she "goes Hollywood" and hurts him, I'll hunt her down.. |
Northstar | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 01:06 am     It takes so little to make me happy! |
Grannyg | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 03:14 am     A story in the Commercial Appeal today!! The picture is sooooooooo great!! ABC's Bachelorette Picks Poetic Fireman |
Misspoufy | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 05:09 am     Just saw Trista and Ryan on GMA. They seem happier and more at ease than either Alex and Amanda or Aaron and Helene did. Unlike both girls who were so upset at the bachelor's antics with the other women Ryan took it all in stride and said he knew what he was getting in to from the very beginning. Ryan said they'd just gotten pizza (he and Trista watched last night's show together in a hotel room) and he'd taken two bites when Trista told Charlie it wasn't him. Said he couldn't eat more after that. They'll reveal tonight whether there are quick marriage plans. Ryan says he still plans to remain a fireman, Trista says she'll be willing to move to Colorado. Both say this is the real deal. |
