Grannyg | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 02:47 am     Yep, the basketball player was a good one to keep. Of course, she didn't pick any that I would have. I'll be glad when it gets down to just a few so I can keep up with who is who. Faces and names just ran together for me tonight!! I need pictures!! Hi right back at cha Hermione!! |
Kizz | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 04:05 am     The pictures are available on the ABC website... |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:02 am     Hermione - once again, we're sharing the same mind, it's actually kind of scary... I didn't like the Bachelor (either one of them) since I get sick and tired of the women acting like absolute idiots... however... I don't mind seeing the tables turned, and was laughing my butt off most of last night. I really wanted her to pick Bob & I was jumping up and down when she did! |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:17 am     Djgirl, me too! My d.h's name is Bob and he is also a very funny guy. When it came down to the last rose we were chanting, "Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob!" lol Besides Bob's from Michigan and that's where we live, so we gotta cheer for the hometown boy! I thought that the majority of these guys were not very good looking. I think it's Russell (?) that gave Trista the Tiffany box and I thought he kinda resembled an elf. That bracelet goes for between $100-$200, so Russell bought himself the first rose and maybe a few more. (Ouch, I sound so cynical) |
Conejo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:50 am     How did she remember all of these guys names? If I meet a few new people at the same time I have trouble just remembering a couple of names! Plus she had to remember their first name and their last initial! Actually, I've been wondering this since the first Bachelor. Maybe they put a little name tag on each rose? Looked to me like half the guys went in for emergency tooth whitening before the show! |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:20 am     I think she had help remembering the names. I got the impression that she had an earpiece in, she paused like she was listening just before calling out each name. When she went up to the deliberation room, their pictures were there and I bet a bio of each man was taped to the back. I imagined that she picked who she wanted, and a production assistant noted the picks and feed her the names as she was calling them out. jmo I agree about the Tiffany bracelet, not that expensive, but hey, it worked! She said she didn't pick him because of that, but it made her remember him enough to get to know him a little. I can't keep all the names straight at this point either, maybe next week. Lol Conejo! I can see tham all sitting around with Crest white strips before the show. |
Conejo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:27 am     Webkitty, I never even thought about her wearing an earpiece - then again I can't even remember names! LOL I'll bet your right earpieces it is! I'll probably get their names down after she cuts a few more loose. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:53 am     Well, even though I didn't watch it, a lot of people did....the rating was a monstrous 11.6/17, first place in the timeslot (beating The West Wing by three tenths of a point) and not only did it beat the first episodes of B1 and B2 by over 40%, the only shows in both the B1 and B2 series that it didn't beat were the last episodes of said series. |
Pandora0404 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 09:29 am     Well, I watched it and I thought it was better than what I had expected. It is nice to see the tables turned and I also like that Trista shows some emotion. something we didnt' see from either of the bachelors. Brian H. is my fav even though he didnt' get much face time. On looks alone, yummy! I kept looking at Bob thinking he looked fimilar and then it dawned on me, he looks like Will Ferro from Saturday night live. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 10:10 am     Donut, did Clooney say anything interesting? I kept flipping over to see it, but I missed it. To me, Bob looked like an older Osmond brother. LOL! I like the guy with the blonde moppy hair -- I'm glad she kept him. She must have put her order in for "tall". These men looked like giants. I wonder how tall she is? Some of the men where quite handsome, but really not my type at all. I'm glad she kept the cowboy. I think the very last guy out of the limo is quite hot. I can't remember anyone's name -- she must have had some kind of prompting to get the names right when handing out the roses. |
Realbiz | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 10:28 am     Looks like Trista didn't like pilots? - She turned down both (or more?) of the pilots. Anyway, the show is better than I expected too - Trista conducts herself very well on the show, beats both Alex and Aaron! The bachelors are not bad at all, there are quite a few handsome eligible single guys out there. Let's see if she can actually find true love this time. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:06 am     I, too, can remember very few names. I had to go look at the pictures at the website to remember and even then, my recollections were fuzzy. It will get easier with this next episode. She probably did have the help of a microphone. Good guess! I was very, very impressed with Trista. She showed a lot of depth last night. I am looking forward to this! BTW, I think she is quite short. I seem to remember reading she is like 5' 2" back when she was on the first show. I also remember that she was totally dwarfed by Amanda who Alex picked, so she may have requested tall guys, but it may also be relative. Everyone may look tall next to her! (Boy will I feel stupid if she turns out to be 5' 7" or something) |
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:19 am     i do not like bob at all and can't even say exactly why --from the first moment i saw him, something triggered a buried memory or something in me.... i can only think that he must remind me of someone from my past. i got that same awful feeling each time they showed him, but i can't quite think of who he reminds me of, and why this feeling i get is so negative! i just can't help it and each time they showed him i felt the same thing. i liked the basketball player and the guy who reminds me of brad pitt with rod stewart's hair, but all this could change at the drop of a hanes, er, i mean, hat! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:24 am     that's funny that she may be quite short! i never saw the other show she was on, so seeing her just last night, i thought she was 5'7" or taller and they were all just very tall, except for the brad pitt guy! now i'll have to go see if i can find her stats somewhere. i guess just knowing she was a basketball cheerleader made me think height :>) okay, i went and looked and she is only 5'2"--about like me, only i have to lose a pre-school-age child to weigh the same! lol |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:29 am     Tabby, that was my initial reaction also. He reminded me of my ex-husband, which is NOT a good connotation. Especially his use of humor, which seemed way too over-compensatory (is that a word?). But by the end, he did have me laughing. Maybe your impression will change, too. Who knows? In any case, we're all entitled to any opinion we want. I wasn't as impressed by the basketball player as many here were. Something about the way he said he turned down a chance to play pro basketball in Germany to meet Trista didn't quite ring true for me. It made me look at him suspiciously. Which means he will probably become my favorite, LOL. Rob and Ryan are my favorites right now. Ryan seems so sweet and sincere and his bio says he paints as a hobby. It seems like very few men put anything beyond working out or sports under hobbies and Ryan had "painting." As a former art major, I thought that was cool. Of course it could be house-painting, but I don't think so. I think Ryan is the one that had the poem? Rob is just adorable and I loved his reaction when Trista called his name for the rose. He really didn't seem to think he would get it. |
Realfan | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:33 am     I think Charlie is hot (as does she). I taped it, so I'm going to rewatch and see what her reaction was when she met him. Is it love at first sight? Or is he the one who had the attention span of a flashbulb? Inquiring minds want to know! I was rooting for Jeff to make the finals, and he did, because of my husband. Let me explain . . . I wasn't too surprised Jeff was picked, because I saw in the clips earlier in the show that Trista was wearing a San Diego Chargers jersy. Jeff is a "professional football player" who lives in San Diego, so I figure he gives her the jersey. My husband has been a huge Chargers fan since his college days at San Diego State. I got on the phone and told him a Charger was in this thing, and he was glad I was taping it! At the end of the show, more clips showed them at the stadium and even a clip of the Chargers' QB. So that's why I was rooting for Jeff--now my husband has to watch the show, too! |
Conejo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:33 am     I didn't like Bob either - matter of fact I disliked him so much his is the only name I can remember. Didn't he say something like "If the other guys try to score points with Trista he'll cut'em off at the knees"? or something like that. Thought it showed that he is over confident or full of himself. Just didn't care for him - just didn't. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:34 am     Too bad she couldn't pick Drew Brees instead of Jeff! |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:36 am     Conejo, he made the cut them off at the knees comment in reference to the bracelet Russell gave her and that is one of the comments that I didn't care for either. I don't know how he managed to get me laughing by the end because 1/2 way through the show, he was still irritating me. I think he tries too hard to be funny. |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:40 am     Herm, I thought the same thing about the basketball player too! The way he said it seemed sort of ~pouty~ to me. I wasn't that impressed with Bob either. I like a man with a sense of humor, but he was too over the top and frantic for my taste. Trista seems taller to me. That black dress she had on seemed like it was made for her. It accented her back perfectly. |
Conejo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:58 am     Herm, did your Ex-husband have you laughing at the end? lol  |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 12:30 pm     Unfortunately, part of why I stayed with him a lot longer than I should have was because the one thing he could always do was make me laugh! He was so outrageous. Bob's use of humor really does remind me of my ex. Hopefully Bob doesn't come with the same emotionally abusive, control issues! |
Conejo | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 01:03 pm     Herm, after I posted my previous message I thought I didn't want to come across as being nosy and I certainly didn't want to bring up any unpleasant memories - I hope I didn't! Most of the time I just say the first thing that "pops" into my head without thinking it through first. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 01:27 pm     Conejo, you didn't remind me of anything Bob didn't remind me of, LOL. Seriously, you didn't come across as nosy at all! In any case, I'm pretty frank about my life and what I've been through. |
Kellsma | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 01:43 pm     While watching the show last night I also thought she had to have an earpiece; how else would she remember all the names. Show looks like it will be fun. I will have to check out the ABC website to see exactly who is in and out. I too was all confused with everyone and I am sure it will be that way a couple of weeks. I remembered Bob, Rodeo guy, Jeff(Charger fan here myself), and Ryan. Not too many others........ Can't wait to see what happens next week |
