I am a 35yo married mother of 1 and I love the Bachelor and have been reading the forums for a while...Here's my question...Has it escaped anybody's mind that this could possibly look bad to her family not to mention his if she is in the "chosen" 2, or what impact could this have on either families? Believe me when I say that I'm no prude, I've only been married for 5 yrs. I agreed with Trish during their "I never..." game when she said "I've got 7 years on you" regarding the youger girls. She's right, however...her talking about kids, her lovely "gold digger t-shirt", and her random comments about marrying rich and having hiring a nanny after she "pushes out" a couple of kids is just so insensitive...her mother may have raised her that way but to hear her say that she more class than the other girls is somewhat hypocritical...I have a few things I think about Jesse, as far as his reasons for being on this show, and maybe they will end up together...who knows? But if they are going to end up together I think The Bachelor has sunk to a whole new low editing this kind've stuff in....Just dying to get my 2 sense in. Thanks...Umpwife

Welcome to the boards, Umpwife. I'm still baffled by the confessions that Trish made during the show. There's some things I've done in my life that I'm not proud of, but I think I would have the sense not to tell millions of people about them on national television.

I haven't watched all the episodes this season. I think the first time I started watching was the show that Trish spilled the beans, so I was a bit surprised to see the direction in which The Bachelor had headed. Not a total shock, of course, because most shows seem to degenerate after the first few seasons. Look at Survivor- they had girls stripping for chocolate.

I think the network is using the "Trish factor" to pump up the ratings for the show. Bad girl vs good girls story line, keeps people watching to see if there will be any catfights, ripping of clothes,screaming, yelling, hair pulling, more dirty secrets, etc., etc. Editing can always make it look better or worse than it actually is depending on which way the network wants to use it. I'm not saying Trish is your typical girl-next-door, but the editing could be making her to look a whole lot worse than she actually is. Maybe?


Jesse, I'm really a very nice girl once you get to know me! Not!

I totally agree that she is going for the exposure. Look at how much Omarosa from the Apprentice has extended her 15 minutes of fame. It would not surprise me if Jesse and Trish end up together, but it begs the question of why have a mole if you are going to discount her advice.
