Bless her heart. Because she is normal, compadable and all those things she will be leaving the house tonight. The best we can hope for is that Travis will send Susan to the dungeons of talent agents. Then he marries Maloana. No kidding- after the last few shows he does not deserve Susan from Tenn, and I think you can tell he has fallen for Molana.

11. "RE: Moana" |
Not so sure...I was really shocked that Sarah stayed over Susan. That makes me think that there is A LOT that they aren't showing us regarding Sarah. I don't remember Firestone and Jen having a lot of chemistry either, until afterwards. But - wow, Andrew Firestone and the runner-up, were always going at it. Later, Andrew and Jen said that there was so much that wasn't shown.

10. "Sarah's edit" |
We cannot jump to consclusions. We already know from past editing that the person they want us to think will be picked, is always the one that gets dumped. Remember Trista, Charlie, and Ryan? She had all of the "sexual tension/chemistry" with Charlie...yet she ended up choosing the very sweet Ryan who we were all sure would be the one dumped. I promised myself not to fall for the producer's misdirection again so I would bet he picks Sarah from Nashville...then again...I could be wrong...we'll have to wait 2 weeks to find out.

Moana's demeanor was calm and confident at the Rose Ceremony and in her video. Either she is feeling pretty confident after her evening with Travis OR she has decided she doesn't want him anyway. Either way, good for her! I still think she is the smartest and most interesting of the whole bunch.

15. "RE: getting rid of the women too quickly" |
I think they would need to be willing to make the season a little longer. They could give us and The Bachelor a chance to get to know them all better. If they want to start with 25 females then why not have him (and us) meet them in groups of 5? The first 5 eps could be The Bachelor meeting 5 of the women. He spends a day with 5 of them and at the end of the evening he gives out 3 roses and sends 2 women home. He could do this for 5 days till he has met all 25. It would be 5 eps for us. At least we would know something about all the women then. And it would give him more of a chance to get to know the women so he doesn't send home someone that he maybe should have kept. Then he would have his 15 women and they could go back to the usual and boot a few each ep. But we would feel like everyone had an equal chance. The way they do it now it seems like the Bachelor often keeps the first and last woman out of the limo because he remembers them. Remember Jesse even called out the wrong name because he didn't have a chance to get to know them before he had to eliminate them. If they want to successfully make a romance this might help.

LAST EDITED ON 02-22-06 AT 03:45 PM (EST) by SurvivorBlows (admin) I dunno about that. Our company does a lot of work on this show and I've actually found that many people think differently. He just isn't charged with her.
There seems to be a real chemistry between Travis & M. I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't make a definitive decision and picked Sarah with some caveat. I don't think he found his match. But look at the jewelry sista. laugh Anyway...I'll be tuned in. Brianca

I agree, it will probably be Sarah even though I think Moana's a better fit. I could tell from the clips from next week that his parents didn't like Moana. Hmmmm I wonder why?

Hi everyone , my first post, I feel that a person like Sarah can be found anywhere whereas Moana is definitely a rare find. It depends on what Travis is really looking for.

28. "Was it chemistry?" |
But he definitely has some chemistry with Moana. I'm not entirely convinsed it was true chemistry, or just a fascination with a mystery. The way Travis was acting towards Moana reminded me of a teenage boy dating the girl that everyone, including his parents, couldn't stand. For some reason, that always seems to push that boy closer to that woman out of rebellion. I wondered if maybe Travis saw this unbelievably beautiful woman, who had a bit of mystery to her, add to the fact that all of the women kept making comments to him about how he shouldn't be with him. (I know most were made to the camera but quite a few made indirect comments to him) Maybe in the end, he realized that what he had with Moana was more of a fascination with the mystery, rather than true feelings towards her? If we are what we eat, I'm fast, cheap and easy.

>Who ARE all these people who >supposedly like Moana? I'm one of them. Congratulations, Travis: you just sentenced yourself to a life of tedium, boredom, and suburban predictability. Hope you enjoyed the jaunt to Europe...it will be your last. From here on out, it's Disneyworld and Branson, Missouri, dear doctor! (Can't leave the country, after all...an election might break out and Sarah will have to be around to put a checkmark next to "Bush.") She didn't want YOU, dear doctor; by her own admission, she wanted to WIN. This was another pagaent for her, except this time Judgmental Mums and Daddums and your white trash sister were on the vicious panel, plying you with their half-baked "insights" that didn't seem to go beyond the fact that Sarah had a lot of pat answers. Congratulations, Travis: you signed on for the kind of life that I'll wager your parents already have. Your dad married Helmet Head because she "fits" with his life, with his goals, and with his family...but his true passion lies in a long-term affair with his own version of Moana. Helmet Head is the mother of the children and has the name. Moana gets the passion, the love, the fire, and, let's face it, the sex. Sarah is so bland, it is tough to describe her. I will say that she is a stereotypical southern sorority girl whose life peaked in high school and whose only goal is to show up at the 10th anniversary reunion with a doctor for a husband and a bun in the oven (If it's a boy, Hunter. If it's a girl, Mikayla.) People knock on Moana for her dark and mysterious act, if indeed it is an act. They laugh about her MySpace poetry. I will say this: at least it occurs to this girl to attempt to write poetry. The closest thing to poetry one gets to with SororitySarah is the "tootie tah." Which brings us to another point. You know, kids aren't stupid. You would think that Sarah, who is the Bestest! Teacher! Evah! would recognize this. No, she was so busy winning the pageant of Mrs. Doctor, she didn't realize just how phoney she was coming across to these kids. The kids took to Moana, who wasn't hell-bent on showing Helmet Head and the Grand Dragon that she was The! Best! Mother! Material! Ever! For! Your! Grandkids! Sarah has plenty of form, but absolutely no content. Her way of knowing Travis was "perfect" for her (and she told us this until all of us were ready to puke) was that he fit a list of criteria that she has probably been carrying around with her since the seventh grade. Her answers and mannerisms were that of a automaton, a pagaent girl, a soccer-mom-in-training. Bland. Moana had angst and melodrama and yes, let's face it, her poetry kind of sucks, but I personally think that if Travis were not such a sheep, he would have gone with her. He chose Bland Sarah because "she fits." Just as bland and uninteresting as his family. Moana at least had the chutzpah to basically tell his parents to get bent when she wouldn't be browbeat by their barrage of questions. Not to mention also, Moana looked like an actual fashion model in that gorgeous gown. Stunning. Classy. Bland Sarah looked like she was competing for Miss Hog Queen of Nashville. One last thing: I am celebrating ten years of marriage this May. I don't get along with my husband's parents, and I never would have been able to articulate to either one of them a comprehensive list of why I love their son. The only answer that they need is the one that I would give them: "Because he's him." It's as simple as that.

Holy Shytes Butterfly! Who needs to say more when you said it all. I am another Moana fan. From the start. I would love to bet on just how accurate you are about Miss Hog Queen! And Helmet Head...I'm crying from laughing so hard. I guess Travis never heard of the saying...all a man has to do is meet the mother of his bride to find out how his wife will look 30 years from now! Notice the difference between Moana's and Sarah's mom. Apparently, Travis has the Oedipus complex. Eeeww.

Hey 'butterflitter' You MUST reread your post! You are SOOOOO angry about this "reality program' that your blood pressure must have gone thru the ceiling! How did you get so involved with Moana? I didn't watch every segment, but it didn't take long for me to spot her as 'trash' and Travis and his family aren't trash. Moana needs psychiatric help---she has some very real and serious problems: inability to give of herself, terrified of being vulnerable and an inability to get along with others. Stunning in her dress? WHO CARES? What is inside that dress is the key. Lord, you even brought politics into it. You need to GET A LIFE!

I'd be careful about bashing posters on this forum. Reality shows don't make me angry; posters bashing other posters make the mods very angry. >How did you get so involved >with Moana? I'm not. I am involved when stupidity and blandness triumphs over intelligence and spirit. >I didn't watch >every segment, but it didn't >take long for me to >spot her as 'trash' and >Travis and his family aren't >trash. If it sprays its hair into a helmet like white trash, and it judges people solely on the "substance" of pageant-style answers like white trash... >Moana needs psychiatric help As someone living with bipolar disorder, allow me to tell you that I find it personally offensive and completely out of line when a layperson intones that an individual "needs psychiatric help" sheerly based on what they see on a television show. Hello kettle? It's the pot. You're black. >What is inside that dress >is the key. You actually made my point for me. Sarah had nothing going on inside that dress, besides pageant answers and the tootie-tah. >Lord, you even brought politics into >it. I will never miss a chance to bash Bush or those fool enough to support his destruction of our country. >You need to GET >A LIFE!
And you need to use the edit key. You are bashing a forum regular, which is streng verboten on these boards. Just a helpful hint.

I was not a big fan of Moana at the beginning, but I came to like her as I watched the show, but I still wanted Sarah to win.I believe that the who ever was editing the show did so in a way to make us believe one thing and not see what was coming. Besides, I don't know what Travis was looking for in a wife/girlfriend. He supposedly had a connection with the other Sarah and there was chemistry between Susan and him. However, neither of them made it to the end. We don't get to see every moment and therefore we cannot have a clear picture as to what is really going on. I will been married for 15 years this July and when Travis' parents posed their question to Moana, at least 10 things jumped into my head that I would tell someone if asked about my husband. When everyone was sitting at the table for dinner and Moana was asked about her feelings, she didn't say I can't put into words how I feel, she said (I am paraphrasing) I am a private person and I don't want to put into words what I am feeling. They had a matter of hours to form an opinion so they had to come right out and ask the tough questions. When she did that it seemed that Travis was a little surprised by her answer. He also seemed to act different on their last date. I wonder if he already made up his mind. Your comments and judgements about Travis, Sarah and his family are a little harsh. Let's keep in mind that these are real people. We didn't see enough of anyone, including Travis, Sarah, Moana and the rest of the girls to really pass judgements on the way they think or the way they act.

They decided to whore themselves and their lives, thoughts, feelings, and opinions on national television. By doing so, they asked for the scrutiny of the viewing public. Sometimes the viewers will walk away with less-than-favorable opinions. I also disagree about whether or not you can "really pass judgments" based on some stupid television show. Regarding Bland Sarah and Travis' Bush-loving, GOP-voting family, I saw enough to know that some people are almost criminally predictable. All form, no content. Bland. Boring. From the double helping of the Tootie Tah, to the pageant answers, to the helmet head hair of Mom Travis, to the judgmental bitchiness of the sister, to the skeptical condescension of Big Daddy...I saw all that I need to see. This country has become a white-bread country. No style, no flair, no class. Only stupidity, a preoccupation with the mundane, and a lemming mindset. Oh, and one must never, ever question somebody in authority, and you most certainly must never, ever embrace diversity of any sort. Diversity is Bill Clinton's bag, and he's a bad, bad man. Love your own, embrace your own, and only care to know your own. I don't appreciate the poor way Moana handled Big Daddy's grilling, but I will lay odds that the family had ruled against her the minute they laid eyes on her. Her lack of answers only cemented it. Moana looks somewhat ethnic. Tootie Tah looks like Glamour Doll Dream Supreme Grand Champion of the Dolls n' Divas pageant at the Memphis Airport Hilton.

I only saw the last 3-4 episodes of the Bachelor. When I heard that Sarah was from Nashville, I knew who would win. I have a relative from TN, who attended Vanderbilt and met her DH there, who is a DR. A doctor needs someone who knows how to play the social game, knows the culture, etc. Sarah would need no training. People don't always select their mates for passion. Moana can do better anyway.
