Oh, Reality Steve has predicted even the finale. Of course, his predictions are based on inside information. I think ABC should find the leak and get rid of them. Or even better, leak faulty intel and make RS look like an idiot. heehee!
But I'm still in, because I hope the second option has finally come to pass.

I'm the same way. Then I found I could watch it online and WHAT A RELIEF!

It's always THE MOST DRAMATIC FINALE EVERRRRR!

Always trying to top themselves aren't they!

I can't talk about the show because I promised Nikitta34, I wouldn't talk about it till Wednesday, but I'll just say, it looks like someone's pulling an "Ed!"

Pulling an "Ed"? I didn't watch that season so on Wednesday you girls will have to fill me in. I'm gonna go tutor kids now so I don't accidentally say something I shouldn't have.

I agree!!!

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Is it just for the show? Why on earth would you ever choose a job over possibly finding the love of your life???? Is Ali coming back????? Aaaggghhh!!!!

Last season Ed left on his own, he said that he worked for a small company, and there was a serious problem that needed his attention, and he felt that if he stayed on the show, it would let lots of other people down. At the time, Jillian was really being dazzled by more charismatic-types of men, and steady Eddy probably didn't think he had much of a chance. He may also have not realized how much Jillian meant to him. I think Jillian was also shocked at how upset she was when Ed left. While they were vacationing, Ed has a change of heart and comes back on the show, he really is able to let down his guard and tell Jillian how he feels about her, and Ed really oozes sincerity. I loved Ed all along, I don't know if the little rejection put a spark in Jillian's heart for him, but I thought he was clearly the best guy, and the most ready for a permanent relationship. Anyway, he was the final winner.

When Ali left because of her job, and then at the end of the show, you hear her on the phone talking to Jake, I think the producers want you to think that she's coming back. (That's what I meant by pulling an Ed.) I'm not sure why Ali left, sure there was a job that gave her an ultimatum, but I really think she just wasn't that "into" Jake. I guess we'll find out if she comes back. Jake really did seem to be into Ali, and watching his body language and actions, it seemed to me, it showed that she was his favorite, but you never know how they edit the scenes. I was a little upset because he asked Tenley's dad for permission to marry, if he doesn't choose her that was really cheesy, did the producers ask him to do that? That's such a special moment between a SIL and FIL; I hate to see the show trivialize it.

I think that Jake's best chance of future success in a relationship is with Tenley, she will make the relationship work, no matter what, but he doesn't seem to be as smitten with her at this point as much as he is with the others. If he doesn't get rid of Vienna next week, I think that's who he'll choose. Remember girls, take your boyfriends bungee jumping!

I was totally disappointed with the show. I thought it was so sappy....all the crying and stuff. Come on.....and if he picks the sausage I swear I will never watch again. I won't talk details till everyone sees it...but really. Rose

Lol, talk details! Anyway I agree! Well, I'll probably watch again . . .

I did read that they are planning to do a different type of bachelor show; it would have past members living in the same house, and have them compete for prizes, sounds a lot like VH1's For the Love of Money which was so much fun! Vienna on that show would be the "classy" girl! :D

Oh Nancy, I will watch again to. LOL It is just very relaxing to watch after a stressful day. But it was really sappy....neither one of them Jake or Ali can act worth a damn so that doesn't help! I don't want to say to much until the girl from Korea catches up....

I kind of got a little irritated with the crying and all, I felt like I was being manipulated. Nikitta34 is the one from Korea, and she said she would comment today.

Thanks for catching me up Nancy! I'll take your advice to heart, I'm already googling where I can take BF bungee jumping. :p

This will be interesting to see how things play out. I'm starting to agree that he's not that into Tenley, or Gia for that matter. He didn't seem very interested when Tenley did her dance for him, or was it just me?

He said he was "really touched" by it, but his eyes looked dead. If you watch his eyes when he's with Ali, you will see that they are always smiling. She's the only one that I've noticed him doing that with. I think he will be forced to pick someone, and his comment on the show about "being fiercely protective" of someone, and how important that is to him, made me think that's another advantage Vienna has. He even said something about how all the other girls "threw her under the bus", I thought "WHAT???" Does he really just believe all the other girls are jealous? How dumb! I really believe that women can dislike another women and not be jealous.

That's very true. But you also have to consider that this is a competition for one man's attention. I mean, in the real world how often does a housefull of women share bread, living space, and A MAN! I don't know if I could get along with all those women, smile and pretend to like them. But then again, I'd never nominate myself to be on the Bachelor anyway.

Yeah, it's kind of amazing that any of them can like each other in those conditions, but I still think when everybody hates you, maybe it's not because they are jealous! :D

Ok, I can't wait to post any longer. I definitely agree that I don't think he is into Tenley or Gia anymore as well. I do think he is still into Viena Sausage and Ali. I loved Ali until last night.....who cares it's a job with facebook. It is so scripted now it takes all the belief out of it! If he picks Viena I am driving to Texas to slap him upside the head. I don't care for Viena at all and I liked her father less, if that was at all possible. If you base your pick on family..I would say Ali or Tenley. Gia's mom was strange as well as VIena's father. I think Gia's mom and Viena's father would make a better couple!! What do you guys think??? Rose

Ha ha, I think I love to read your thoughts!

I am having way to much fun with you and this thread!!!LOL

Threads like this and shows like the Bachelor, take my mind off of all the bad things happening!

HAHAHAHA!!! I completely agree with you!

THANK YOU ALL for not posting spoilers! I stayed away until I had a chance to watch, just in case. :)


I can totally see the pain that this decision would cause. After college I found a fantastic teaching job - the job of my dreams, and when my then-boyfriend proposed, I knew that I would have to leave my job since DH lived overseas. We were in a committed relationship and I knew that I was going to marry him, and it still broke my heart to leave that job. I have no regrets about making the decision I did, but when I was in the moment it felt like the hardest choice I could have ever made. Anyway, I can completely sympathize with Ali... she'd have to leave a huge part of her life behind (something that fulfills her and that is her dream job) and she doesn't have a guarantee that she is actually going to marry Jake. I don't know what I would have done had I been her, but I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for her to make.

I totally thought she was going to be pregnant though!!!!

Is it just me or did Ali seem so much nicer and lovable this last show? Maybe it's just that she was in Mass and it was so beautiful to see my home again. lol.

Did anyone else think that Vienna came from some serious $$$$? That's what I thought, and I was totally excited to see the mansion she grew up in. :rolleyes: I thought that the boat ride was lead to some gorgeous beach-front property or something. Her dad was definitely an odd ball and not at all what I expected.

I didn't see the "Ed" season, either, but it does sound as though Ali will come back. I almost wonder if she is banking (hoping?) on Jake being so in love with her that he rejects all the other women in the end and goes to find her. Now that would be a finale!! :p

100% class!!! :yelrotflm

Lol, you thought she'd be pregnant? OMG, that would be the most "DRAMATIC season of Bachelor history EVER!"


Yeah, I though Vienna came for money too, how does daddy afford all those new cars, but driving up to her house through the gator filled swamp changed my mind. I guess the cars she smashed were like a 67 Ford pick-up.

I know right! I completely thought she was going to say something super juicy! Like, "My last serious boyfriend popped out of nowhere and said he can't live without me" Or "I met a guy at the bar and it was love at first sight."
:sidesplt::sidesplt::sidesplt::sidesplt:

I did too... especially since in the intro she's on a yacht acting all... Vienna like.


How about a pinto?:p

Lol, yeah I'm not a car person, I couldn't think of a good example, we have a Ford pickup, but there's no rifle in the back window! :D Oh wait, ours might be a Dodge pickup!

Yes! A woman at aqua aerobics told me that in the preview-teaser, she had some huge decision to make, and this would affect her life, and she's in tears. We all thought that it was a pregnancy! :p

Here's a sneak peak of the phone call, are they playing us?

!@$&% :thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown The previews are always blocked since I am in Korea and they can't monitor copyright laws here. URGH!!!!!!

Nancy, what does it say?

It pretty much says she made a terrible mistake, and it sounds like she'd like to come back, but I just read something else, that indicates she will be the next Bachelorette.
