PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I watched. If I don't watch I can't snark on it. That is the best part about this show.

I haven't watched it yet. I only saw the intro - hubba freaking hubba. My god. Brad is hotter than all of Ali's suitors put together. My god, he is absolutely fricking hot as heck!!!!!!I peeked at bits and pieces. I saw the slap. I saw the real pretty girl and later found out from Reality Steve about her connection to the Hendrick family. I also saw Fang Girl. Yuck. I also saw some poor girl who wanted to talk but kept getting interrupted. I will probably not be able to watch until sometiem later this week. We've had two weeks of nothing on and now we're back to too much on. Grrrrr.

24. "RE: Fang Girl?" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-07-11 AT 08:39 AM (EST)I have no idea why he kept her (aside from the teeth, she ust seemed annoying). My guess is that she is the plant that they made him keep just to get people talking. Don't you think they are instructed to keep a few of the "weirdos"...it makes for more drama and controversy. Remember, Jake had a stalker, and Jillian had a suitor with a serious foot fetish....one of them had a "drunk" that stayed on....it seems that every season there are definitely some suitors that get through that are way, way out there. This year it's "fang girl". Come on, he was on to her from the first minute, noting that she was there as a big joke. This season I didn't notice too many that were masculine? I thought that this season the women seemed far more attractive than in seasons past. The North Carolina girl who got the first rose was adorable. The blonde with the child, who had lost her husband was a knock-out. The other brunette mom with a child was gorgeous. I thought compared to seasons past they have really increased the looks of the women. AS for Brad, he really is quite a specimen. While I think he seems very committed to finding a mate, and I believe he's put the time in therapy to deserve some happiness, but geez, out of all the guys in the world, he gets two chances at this...really? The next thing you know they'll be bringing the ultimate DAW back, Jake....UGH! Furthermore, I'm not totally anti-tatoo, but geez, when did he get that BIG, HONKING, TAT all over his back?? Tacky, imho.

6. "RE: The Bachelor Season ??, Brad version 2.0" |
There goes my resolution not to over imbide.So far we drank everytime
1. a bachelorette hiked up her strapless gown
2. Brad called Chris "Man"
3. the phrase "second chance", "3 years is a long time",
4. Brad said the word "wife" Good thing I quickly decided to only sip.
Most excellent!

7. "Insulted." |
The opening segment -- the only part I could stand to watch -- may have been the most scripted piece of television I've seen this season. It was definitely the largest middle finger raised directly towards what the producers were hoping would be my nonexistent IQ.Let's think about Brad's original season. He rejected both women at F2. Why? Because in the ultimate analysis, he didn't feel he'd found love and didn't want to lie to either one. Why set up a false relationship for the network's benefit just because it's what virtually everyone on this show does before breaking it off a few months later? He told the truth: the ending to this fairy tale is 'and no one lived happily ever after'. And for this, people hated him. Because as much as a certain segment of this audience watches for the fights and fake drama and scripted events, others are watching for The Magic Of Artificial Romance, and anything which breaks the illusion must die. So Chris turns down the show. Chris is too intelligent to let these people run his life a second time. They go to Brad as a backup plan, because to the producers, it's a redemption story! It's not that he didn't find love, it's that he didn't believe in love! But how are we going to convince our audience to take him back? Cue opening segment. It was as if they'd sat down with every pop psychology book written on the mindset of women and spent two seconds (total) skimming the chapter titles. Oooh, let's make him look vulnerable! Reach back into his past and find a reason he's unable to trust! Of course we'll have trouble if it's a mommy issue, so we'll make it a father one instead! Sure, that works: we're owned by Disney and absent fathers run our entire animation division. And here he is, visibly having Remorse over Not Believing In The Power Of Love. Here he is mourning about the reactions of those evil, evil bloggers with no window open on anything faintly resembling a blog and while we're at it, evil bloggers? Take that, Reality Steve! Brad's vulnerable, faithful viewers. He's talking about his feelings: isn't that what all women covered in pop psychology books want to hear? He's so determined to open up, he's seeing a shrink. Who will testify on national television, working from no more than twenty takes, that Brad is Ready To Love. He will commit to your predetermined fairy tale. He will wear the armor, and it will shine. Oh, and just in case a small segment of the audience starts thinking about all this, we're going to try for a hormone override. Off with the shirt! And keep it off! For the last fourth of the segment, never did we see a piece of upper-body clothing. Focus on the pecs, focus on the biceps, don't listen to the sound of the script pages turning, just look at the body and nothing else until the lust kicks in and screams 'Forget the non-crime he committed before in the name of the sexual assault I'm ready to commit right now!' The opening segment had a message, and that message was 'All women have an intelligent quotient normally found in kumquats, and we used that particular fruit for this reference as a joke we knew they wouldn't be capable of understanding. All women think the same way. None of them can see what we're actually doing here. Most of them would be insulted if we tried the same tactics using a Bachelorette, but that's because virtually all females have an unbreakable set of double standards. Take his shirt off again!' And after watching all that and never quite making up my mind between laughter and an angered scream, I turned the television off. I was insulted by both the message they were sending and the way they tried to present it. I understand why everyone didn't feel the same way. And I do know people watch this thing just to snark at it. But a significant portion of the viewership -- the likely majority -- fell for that con. And for that, I'm not insulted. I'm just depressed. 
Well, they got the double standards part right.

10. "RE: Insulted." |
I didn't watch Brad's season so I am scratching my head. Was his crime that he didn't pick anyone in the end (really, considering I watched Dee-ANNNNNNAH's season, I do admire his taste in not choosing her) , or did he bang everyone a la Bob?

Mostly the 'picked no one' thing. Some of the locked thread fun can be seen on Page 14. People -- reacted.

I get what you mean with the voice/speech thing. I've heard worse, so I guess it doesn't bother me that much.I really hope that Chris can find happiness. If that's with Peyton, so be it. I just thought he was such an awesome guy. I watched a little more at lunch today. I'm up to the point of him meeting Emily. I see that she was happy to see it was Brad. I wonder if she (or any of them for that matter) applied thinking Chris would be the next bachelor. Some of these girls are downright scary.
