WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Walker | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 06:56 pm     herm..i certainly dont remember that either, simon has commented on some of the others weight but never have a i heard him mention one word about ruben being too heavy. |
Marymc | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 07:02 pm     nope...not a word....only the women. don't get me started..... |
Tabbyking | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 07:08 pm     nope, because we had discussions here about ruben's weight, and simon never vocalized a problem/comment/feeling about it...just the gals had comments made about them, as others have noted. |
Hermione69 | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 07:30 pm     While I agree with the premise of the article, that Josh should already be gone, and certainly long before Ruben, I find the article itself written in a manner that is inflammatory and insulting. But I promise I am not shooting the messenger, Donut! BTW, in answer to your last question, I haven't heard of anything similar in my local paper and it is a pretty big paper in my state. I don't read it that regularly, but my coworker does and she is a big fan of the show. I think she would have showed me anything on AI because we talk about AI a lot. |
Marymc | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 08:05 pm     i live in santa barbara....articles are ALL about the bachelor here. |
Alisons | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 08:37 pm     No way is Simon going to comment about Ruben's weight - Ruben could kick Simon into tomorrow if he wanted to! Simon is not that dumb. Goodbye Josh, this is your week. |
Marameko | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 11:30 am     ROFLMBBAO @ Alisons............ Dear Lawd Jesus in heaven above..... This is the week, Joushua has "got to go". I want him to pack his bag and while walking out sing" Hit the Road Josh/Jack" Let the church say AMEN..... |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 11:33 am     Amen!!! And let Sister Kim's voice soar to the Heavens!! |
Jasper | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 11:48 am     I do recall Simon commenting on his size in the beginning, his comment was in effect that Rueben couldn't go far as he wasn't the whole package or what the majority of people view as an idol. He was never quite as blunt to Rueben as he was to Vanessa and Kim. I guess Simon is now realizing that to the masses you don't have to be thin to be our idol! |
Whoami | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 01:23 pm     I too remembering Simon making veiled remarks on Rueben's weight. While he never came right out and pinpointed weight as the issue, he did talk a lot about "image vs talent." We've already seen a few examples of the "imageless" ones (Clay, Rueben, Kim L.) having talent, and the "talentless" (Carmen, Kim C. Josh) ones having the image. Note: at this level, I wouldn't really call the finaltists "talentless." But they certainly have less talent than the top three. Also, Kim L has really improved her image, so I don't know if I'd put her in the imageless catagory any more. I was just trying to point out the "image vs talent" thing. |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 01:32 pm     Kim L has lost weight?? I think it's just the straight hair and improved wardrobe....those tight, shinny, black satin pants were yeeesh... |

Meme9 | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 02:37 pm     I remember one remark about Rubens weight...last week, I think. It was when Ruben was wearing that leather suit...Simon said something about giving him a nine for singing and a two for the outfit...then he continued with, that is why California has a shortage of cows. I know this may not be exact, but its close. FWIW |
