Come on! I can't be the only person watching Bacherolettes in Alaska, right? This silly show, with it's dumb toolish men, and needy, desperate women looks like it has "guilty pleasure written all over it! The chicks bring a whole new meaning to "frigid women" eh?

1. "RE: Temptation Tundra" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-02-02 AT 11:41 PM (EST) Ya, I watched it (guess everyone else was watching The Hamptons.)
My guess is that Rebecka (sp?) is one of those women who complains about not having any close girlfriends and wondering why... LOL. Those three guys who all plead for Rebecka were pretty dumb. The only guy who didn't go for her was the guy mwho was matched up with the blonde from the South who had already made it clear she had already fallen for her "Man On Ice!" For the other three guys to all make a play for the youngest, arguably most physically attractive girl was pretty damn chancy and transparent. If the idea at this point is to "stay in the game" (not that the producers have really bothered to explain the rules very well, but hey, what else would you expect from the folks who brought you Boot Camp -- gee, I wonder why they didn't use that tag line when promoting the show ) then what kind of genius sees a girl having to choose from among three guys and decides to become the 4th possible choice while the three other girls -- including his actual date and one girl who didn't even get to go on a second date with ANY guy -- are still sitting there without any "pleas." ...like there is any chance the girls who didn't get any pleas where going to change their pick after watching guy after guy pass them by for Rebecka -- ya right! Cecile also seems to be a piece of work -- for some reason she reminds me a bit of Love Cruise's Toni while Rebecka seems to be clearly getting cast in the Jerri-like ##### role. Honestly the 36 year old blonde from New Hampshire seems to be the nicest of the bunch... As far as the guys go, two stuck out -- the guy who basically said he'd make a good husband because he owns two houses, has property, and has some money in the bank (man, combined with this wacky "dowery" concept I felt like I was watching some old fashioned courting on a Little House of the Praire repeat) and the goofball guy that was picked by two girls and said he was looking for a classic hot rock video blonde! I switched the telly to The HAmptons on 10PM... that wasn't nearly as entertaining (although surprise, surprise, like I'd said, within 10 minutes there was a scene about a "waitress by day, struggling singer by night.") The most interesting story was the car accident thing -- but I wasn't able to follow the whole thing and I don't have a clue who's the blonde who crashed her Mercedes into the crowd. Btw, note to ABC -- I only watched an hour, and I''ve already seen more than enough footage of Christy Brinkley The Ultimate Mom, OK??? And how about the pompous rich ##### talking with the gay realtor in the scene near the end -- where she's talking about the Hamptons being "the American dream" that only a few can attain. Man, whether it was simple spin control or not, Mr. Realtor put her in her place... -SB

3. "RE: Temptation Tundra" |
Rebekah seems like a total tease, to me. How funny was it that she told Cecile (in a rather snotty tone) that it was "a game", when all the chicks kept yammering about "meeting their future husbands" on the show and what forth. Although it IS nice of Fox to futher set feminism back 100 years by making each woman have a Dowry (WTF? What next? Arranged marriages of 6 year olds as a "reality show?")Some interesting lines/tidibits of the show: 1) The fact that they kept repeating the temperature (for the five simpletons who didn't know that Alaska was (gasp!) cold, I guess.) 2) Thaddius (on his reason for picking Sissie on the final plea): I knew by just looking in your eye (and noticing that it was blue. This dude seems to have some weird Aryan thing going on.) 3) That creepy guy who massaged Rebekah who mentioned that he was making a "connection" with her. (Let's hope they had safe "connecting" huh?) 4) Andrea claiming that her relationship with her date has just been "physical." (Huh? How? Wouldn't fox show us a hint if they spent all their time banging each other?) 5) The poorly memorized "original poem" that the brunet guy who made a plea for Rebekah recited that was clearly stolen from the $0.99 Halmark Card section. 6) Sissie (I think) claiming that she "dated all of the east of Mississippi" or something like that. (doesn't "dated" sound like a G-rated way to say something else?) And you're right, SB. This definately looks like it has the possibility to be Love Cruise in Alaska or something

Funny stuff, Johnny! Yeah, that "I dated everyone East of the Mississippi" rang the same buzzer with me. Euuh! I wouldn't touch that skank with a ten foot pole. I couldn't beleive that guy reading that lame poem, which he forgot halfway through and tried to wing. I liked the guys' occupations too. "Rock'n'roll Roadie" In ALASKA? How many groups are there? "Server/Chef" Works at McD's can both work the counter AND flip burgers! What a catch! "I work for the government" - Mechanic who likes "truck racing" Yeh-ha! Horrible, horrible show. Typically Fox, may even exceed the sleaziness of Love Cruise.

4. "RE: Temptation Tundra" |
I don't have a clue who's the blonde who crashed her Mercedes into the crowd. That was Lizzie Grubbman, has daddy's money to play with as a PR flack for a bunch of rock stars. The very epitome of the term "JAP" and the most hateful bltch on the face of the Earth. She crashed her car into the crowd after the doorman asked her to move it, she was blocking the sidewalk. She then called him "white trash" and put the sucker in gear and rammed them. She's up for attempted murder among other charges. Couldn't have happened to a better person. I can only hope that Lizzie meets and falls for O.J. sometime in the future. I try my best to be just like I am, but everybody wants me to be just like them. - Bob Dylan "Maggie's Farm"

Ah, this most be the blonde they had shown on camera earlier in the show saying she was a "PR person" for "two clubs in town" where I come from we call those folks booking managers, not PR folks) and bitching and complaining that summer was the busiest time of her life, she would work in NYC Mon-Thurs and then come up to The Hamptons for Fri-Sun, etc. > She crashed her car into the crowd after the >doorman asked her to move it, she was blocking the >sidewalk.

Wow, I wonder how much of this we might see tonight -- maybe at least in one of those "where are they now" style text updates when the show ends. ...and I wonder what's the deal with the illegal Irish waitresses -- although they are likely long gone (and I'm having a hard time believing one of them was a stockbroker or whatever she called herself) I wonder if the restaurant owner might be getting a call from the state of NY today. -SB

11. "Two Shannons & A Clone" |
First we had Big Brother 2 Shannon, next we had The Bachelor Shannon and now Looking for Love's Rebekah, all cut from the same cloth. Wil & Shannon according to sources broke up, Alex chose Amanda and let us hope the Alaska men are smart enough to leave Rebekah floating on a glacier. Sure enjoy her company, have some fun, but please be smart enough not to propose or at least get a prenup.After six months she'll either be after you to leave Alaska for New York or California or filing for divorce, since she has golddigger written all over her face.Hopefully the men of Alaska, lonely as they are,will be smart in their choices.

Speaking of Shannon from BB2 she was on E! the other night trying out for some hosting job on WILD or whatever it's called. She was wearing a tiny string bikini worth alot of money covered in gems. I didn't see it. But I heard about it.

18. "RE: "He Mauled me!"" |
Jeff creeped me out even before Cecile said he mauled her so I was glad she stayed with Tim. Hopefully the guy she refers to in the promo for next week is not Tim(in the promo she says why did he hurt me).From what I've seen Tim's just shy,hopefully he'll prove to be a nice guy or that Cecile finds a nice guy.I'm glad Sissie is still with Brent,they're a good couple.But I hope Brent doesn't regard it as too much pressure since he's just recently divorced.As I see it they could be one couple who end up together after the show even if there isn't an immediate wedding. Rebekah remains the woman you'd need a prenup with the most,she's definitely working it for the money. I'm sure she'll be eager to have a guy propose, but will accept only if the ring is up to her standard.In other words,golddigger! It suprised me to see Andrea remain with Kristian since he made it plain if you asked him at that point was he feeling the vibe for a permanent thing & he said no.True we didn't see everything & there may be more than what we see. That leaves Karen(the woman from NH) hasn't made too much of an impression.But the show isn't over and after all she's there to find a husband not be a media princess. She was on the news(Fox Channel 25 in Boston area)saying she made some good friends and had fun. Obviously she couldn't say if she found Mr. Right, but who knows. ** Just my impression, not a total recap**

19. "RE: "He Mauled me!"" |
>Jeff creeped me out even before Cecile said he mauled her >so I was glad she stayed with Tim. Wasn't Jeff the guy who said "well I'm not getting any younger, so I guess I better get married?" Good reason there, sounds just like some of the women... Right away it seemed a little creepy to me that the 37 year old guy would walk past all the women closer to his own age and opt for the 26 year old young girl. >Rebekah remains the woman you'd need a prenup with the most,she's >definitely working it for the money. I'm sure she'll be eager >to >have a guy propose, but will accept only if the ring >is up to her standard.In other words,golddigger! Rebekah is a piece of work. My guess would be that to the majority of the male viewing public, that personality more than cancels out any physical attraction they might have. The only thing Rebekah is proving on this show with all that pleaing is that Alaskan men can be as shallow as men from the Lower 48. >It suprised me to see Andrea remain with Kristian since he >made it plain if you asked him at that point >was he feeling the vibe for a permanent thing & >he said no.True we didn't see everything & there may >be more than what we see. I have to give Kristian kudos for this. He was honest and seriously, I don't know many folks that a week into a relationship *ARE* ready to say "yes, I can see myself asking you to marry me in another 2 weeks." I really don't think that there was anything wrong with his statement -- he's just saying that a week into their relationship, he doesn't see himself getting engaged in another 2 weeks -- and what's wrong with that, I don't care *HOW* intense the relationship, there aren't many people who DO get engaged three weeks after meeting someone. ...he didn't say that he didn't want to continue to her, just that he's not ready to move on the producer's timetable instead of his own. -SB

21. "OK I watched it!" |
I only watched this show due to peer pressure ( LOL) I won't admit to watching it on my own, I will only say that YOU people MADE me watch it. ( thank goodness ya'll aren't pushing crack- oh wait, reality TV, on second thought..)The Cecile girl is sweet, but am I the only one who is staring at her oddly positioned dimples?? I mean she is cute, but the dimples are totally wierd. For some strange reason I don't hear anything she says. I just keep waiting for the dimples to move. She was beating a dead horse in trying to get Rebekkah to stop being late and inconsiderate. To R, all things and people revolve around her.Oh and I hope she gets a big zit right in the middle of her face. See how long it takes her to do her make-up then. Oh and was anyone else disgusted by the fishy sweaters, could they have not given these guys an apron or something?? I may have to watch this show again, I am not proud of that, but I am adicted to bad television.

23. "RE: OK I watched it!" |
Join the club, E...I watched it too (ugh, I can't believe I admitted that). I accidentally flipped to it during a commercial on Comedy Now, but I couldn't stop watching it once I started (ugh again).I felt so sorry for Sissie when she didn't get to go on a date (even though I think it's a really cute name) and also for Karen when Michael pleaded with Rebekah. Cecile is definitely my favourite out of the bachelorettes. Argh, I can't believe I got hooked on this silly show... ======================= Survivorerist - Oh where oh where did my sig pic go?

26. "Next to last episode" |
Sissie's heart is obviously taken by Brent and no one else has a chance at changing her mind.When they brought the new men she linked arms with Will even though he had Cecile & Andrea already there leaving Mike all alone.When Will picked Cecile,Mike had a chance to pick either Andrea or Sissie but Sissie made the choice easier by not flirting with him.So Sissie was the lady this week all alone for the day which suited her fine.Karen's date Brad was,to me,much funnier than Kurt since they were laughing a lot. Rebekah's date Keith was nice but there clearly was no spark between them.All in all the ladies had nice dates. The 2nd Tim realized he was obviously picked last week simply to get rid of the first Tim and he ultimately has no chance with Cecile.Karen's date Brad felt his best bet to stay in the game was to focus on Rebekah or Andrea since Karen's heart is with Kurt.When Kristian stated out loud during the reality check in an answer to a question that currently he is in a relationship where he continued to be intimate in a relatinship he knew was going nowhere, it gave the new men hope for them with her. At the end Karen and Sissie were given no pleas which suited them fine since they seem to be happy with their guys.Will's plea to Cecile was accepted and a new couple formed which was Cecile best choice in the game.Ultimately they could go on after the game since they really hit it off. Rebekah had a choice between Mike & Brad but is quite happy with Jason.My greatest suprise is Andrea's continuing to hang on to Kristian even after his state-ment back at the lodge.Keith made a plea to her but she is still with Kristian, which to me, will leave her alone at the end since I doubt Kristian will propose. All in all if I had to bet the only ones guaranteed a proposal in the end are Sissie & Karen but the best chance at a yes is Sissie. Stay Tuned to the Finale.

30. "RE: I watched it and Tim 2 is such a woosie" |
I agree with your opinion on both Tim's, although Tim1 should have spoken up earlier.The reason Tim2 was such a mope is that he felt used as in whoever plead to Cecile would be in his spot as long as Tim1 was out of the picture. As far as who will be proposed to you forgot Sissie who will no doubt find Brent meeting her at the lake and quite possibly Kurt will propose to Karen. As far as Rebekah goes I hope there is a lawyer handy since any guy she hooks up with had better have a prenup ready,she's always been a bit of a golddigger in my mind. Also, Andrea will no doubt be leaving alone since there is no way he will propose to Andrea.Then again suppose the producers came to the guys and asked them to give the show some drama,as in he really cares about her but was willing to go along in exchange for something. Bottom line the finale is next Sunday in which all the guys who had dates with the ladies are backa & who knows what will go on.
