"The most shocking rose ceremony yet":
Archive through January 20, 2003
Ryn | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 08:48 pm     Earth to ABC - we have heard that enough!!! Thats what they said yet again tonight - lol Did the mean in the history of the Bachelorette? The second Rose ceremony ever for this series??? Or in the history of the series? What do YOU think has been the most "shocking" rose ceremony? Frankly maybe the one last season when the women bailed. THis one was mild. ALTHOUGH - to me it looked like the guy that left had been offered a rose. She had one in her hand when he left, then it was back on the tray. Things that make u go hmmmmmmmm. |
Fabnsab | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 09:48 pm     I know, Im sick of it too. It's the same with every network. "ER- this is the one episode you CANT miss" they do it all the time. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 04:39 am     And they will keep doing it as long as we continue to fall for it. I keep hoping for something real juicy to happen but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is all we get. |
Realfan | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 09:01 am     It's SO lame. The audience isn't so stupid that we don't recognize it, or so naive as to fall for it. If the guy had refused a rose, that would have been interesting (not shocking, though), as no one has done that yet. And he was so polite about it. If he'd called her on the carpet for something and lit into her, THAT would be shocking. As it is, everyone who was THERE just shrugged and went on. And they expect the audience to react more strongly?? Not. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:30 am     "Shocking" is way overdone. Shocking to me would be one of them taking off their clothes and running amok. I was a little more surprised last night than I was with the Bachelor 2 because of who it was that walked off. If it had been Brook, I wouldn't have been surprised at all, but they showed us nothing of Brian's decision-making process that led to his walking off. The Bachelor 2 was not that big of a surprise; it was obvious that neither of those girls was interested in Aaron nor he in them. I have to agree that I think if she had offered him a rose, and he turned it down, they would have shown it. It would be better TV than a walk off since the walk off has been done. I'd like to know if she was going to pick him and who she substituted. |
Realbiz | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:42 am     Brian commented before the Rose Ceremony that he didn't find chemistry between Trista and him. Even before, in his one-to-one conversation with Trista, he told her that IF she isn't interested in him she shouldn't give him a rose or feel bad about it - an indication that HE isn't interested in her. So it's not a surprise at all that he decided to leave the process. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:56 am     I missed that statement of Brian about the lack of chemistry, so I was looking for Brook to be the one to leave. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:58 am     brian, c'mon over here to mama, honey, and we'll conduct our own chemistry experiments! now, if there were just a way to explain him to the husband and kids!! LOLOL........earth to tabbyking.... i hope, as i do for brook, that brian finds a wonderful woman to share his life with. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 11:02 am     Tried to edit my post to add (but it didn't take): I missed that statement of Brian's where he outright commented on the lack of chemistry. I don't know where I was, but it flew right past me. I did hear him tell her that IF part that during the one-on-one, but that is open to interpretation. Some people say things like that to appear magnaminous or understanding and therefore impressive, not necessarily to say, "Don't pick me." During Bachelor 2, one of the girls tried that tactic anbd it backfired on her; for all I know Brian could be trying the same tactic hoping it would make his seem sooo cooool. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 02:29 pm     What I find interesting and I probably shouldn't but I do is the way the guys look when they are waiting to see who gets picked. They look just as nervous and upset as the women did in the Bachelor shows. They are reacting just like the women did and this surprises me. Mars and Venus be damned, they men are acting just like the women did on the Bachelor show. I really expected it to be differant some how. |
Hummingbird | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 02:57 pm     This show is just soooo bad. I don't know if I can stick with it and I love reality shows. Most of you are too young to remember her but, this bachelorette looks a lot like Connie Stevens when she was young. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 05:17 pm     and shelley fabares, too, in the eyes.....and facial shape |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 08:08 pm     What I found MOST shocking is that they didn't say, "our most shocking rose ceremony yet!" for the FIRST one last week! I mean, they say it every time, they figure we're dumb enough to believe it and it WAS technically true! |
Hummingbird | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 09:11 pm     The "most shocking" thing about this show is that we are watching it! The tears from Trista at the rose ceremony, the guys falling in love with her at first sight, her saying,"I really feel that the man of my dreams is here." Corny, corny, corny! We must all be nuts! Yes, I'll be in front of the TV next week. |
Fruitbat | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 06:24 am     Hummingbird, that's it!!!!!!!!! I have been trying to figure out who she resembles. Connie Stevans! Thanks. |
Hermione69 | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 08:50 am     Who is Connie Stevens? Who is Shelley Fabares? |
Tabbyking | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 10:24 am     shelley fabares was daughter, mary, on the donna reed show many years ago and sang "johnny angel". more recently, she was christine on 'coach'. she is in her late 50's, i think, although she always plays someone younger. her aunt was nanette fabares. as christine on 'coach' shelley always had permed hair, but when it's straight, there is a real similarity between her looks and trista's. IMO, of course! fabares is pronounced "fabray". does that ring any bells? connie stevens was a hot at the time actress, with a distinct voice. |
Max | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 12:15 pm     "Who is Connie Stevens? Who is Shelley Fabares? " OMG, Am I THAT old?!  |
Tabbyking | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:09 pm     you an' me, baby.... where did the time go?! |
Yuhuru | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 05:26 pm     <What I find interesting and I probably shouldn't but I do is the way the guys look when they are waiting to see who gets picked. They look just as nervous and upset as the women did in the Bachelor shows. They are reacting just like the women did and this surprises me.> I think that's because the feel as if they already know her. Unlike the women, these guys had the benefit of watching the first show, and getting to know Trista. Then she was all over the TV right afterwards. It's almost like signing up to date a celebrity. I'm not sure I like this show. The men seem to have too much control to me. |
Seamonkey | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 06:03 pm     http://surf.to/conniestevens Scroll down to see pics.. and there are links to other pics, including Shelley Fabares.. I must admit to having had "Johnny Angel" on a 45.. |
Hermione69 | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 06:28 pm     Oh, she definitely looks like Connie Stevens in that first picture that comes up!! I know Shelley Fabares from Coach, the name just didn't ring a bell. Thanks for the info! |
Hummingbird | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 11:03 am     I don't see the Shelley Fabares resembance but she looks more like Connie Stevens than Connie's own daughters do! |
Mack | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 08:48 am     Back to the subject of the thread.....I'm getting a bit tired of the "most shocking ceremony" business myself. It seems that they like the one or two instances where somebody bails before the ceremony or during it but I can't say it was particularly shocking. My wife and I were watching and actually thought Brook would bail and/or Mr. Russ would get the axe. (When will people learn not to move so quickly and push these folks....I can't think of a reality show that hasn't seen somebody do this only to crash and burn.) |
Tabbyking | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 09:18 am     the pic of shelley fabares is not one that looks like trista. hell, it doesn't even look like shelley! lol if this was the 'most shocking rose ceremony', what can we expect next? i'm on the edge of my seat! i thought maybe trista would feel a little prick. but then i realized she didn't get nekkid with any of them... |
