I’m really disappointed with Bob. Does he think he has to swap spit with every woman on the show?Week 1: He kissed Kelly Jo. Week 2: He kissed: Brooke:
Misty:
Meredith:
LeeAnn:
And Kelly Jo again?
Week 3 - ?: We see him kissing: Mary:
Antoinette:
Estella:
Estella again:
Misty again:
Kelly Jo again:
LeAnn again:
There are many more pictures where I can’t identify who he is kissing. This makes Jenny and Karin the only two women left that we don’t have evidence of him kissing. Chrissy gal

DId you seriously expect him NOT to kiss the girls. I think he wanted to make up for lost time with Trista. Just kidding, Bob. All the Bachelor's have mashed with the girls..Bob is just the first to be honest about wanting to!!!

He DID kiss Jenny. They showed it in the previews but not on the actual show. They also didn't show Brooke's kiss or Kelly Jo's second kiss on the show.I think this means that the producers are trying to tone down Bob's um, libido? To be fair, Antoinette's kiss looks more like a peck than anything else. Based on the smooching (or lack of), I pick Karin, Antoinette, Brooke & Jenny to be gone next week.

You people are acting as if he is having sex night after night. I don't see a kiss as a big deal. Bob is there to possibly propose to one of these women. I wouldn't want to be married without kissing my fiance first....would you? Just stop and think .....how many people have you kissed in your lifetime? Give him a break! And I am a woman.

iluvbob,Come on, give me a break! Your logic is hilarious! First of all, none of us are the type of people who would agree to go on a reality dating t.v. show, the premise of which is to choose a spouse from 25 potential partners. So, though no I wouldn't want to get married without kissing my to-be-spouse first, I also wouldn't EVER be in a situation where I had to decide who to marry on the basis of like 4 dates and 3 or so hot and heavy kisses. I've got more brains than that. Also, you ask us how many people we've kissed IN OUR LIVES. Um, even if my number exceeded the number of people Bob has french kissed would that make me more of a slut? Can you really ask us to consider the number of people we've kissed over our lifetimes and then excuse Bob for doing it in the space of what? Five days? I'm with Chrissygal here. I expected MUCH more from Bob, and he's really disgusting me. How can you have true intimacy with so many women at once?? Bleech! If this were the real world, and we were acquaintanced with Bob, who we found out was swapping spit with so many women in just a matter of days, we'd be appalled! But, since this isn't the real world, and it's under the umbrella of a reality tv dating show, suddenly it's all good that Bob's such a whore. I don't think so. Bob seems to have lost much of his personality since his Bachelorette days. He seems to have shed his sense of humor with those 30 infamous pounds he lost. IMHO, his trampish need to "test drive" these women is really pathetic.

LAST EDITED ON 10-04-03 AT 08:01 PM (EST)>>IMHO, his trampish need to "test drive" these women is really pathetic.<< I love it!!! Also, Bob made it clear in pre-show interviews that he is not looking to propose to someone at the end of the show. These girls might think they are there to marry Bob, but I don't think Bob is there to marry one of them. I am sure that when I was younger and single, if you put me in a room full of 25 guys who were interested in dating me, I could narrow it down to a few guys without swapping spit with 9 of them first. Finally, Bob is not a hormonally charged teenager who hasn't seen any real women before, he is over 30 and has been married. He was also a jock in school and plays in a band, I'm sure he has had plenty of women throw themselves at him over the years. Edited because sometimes I don't read my post before I hit Post Message!

To me, with the way they have set up the show, it's almost like they have taken the beginnings of a relationship before the couple goes exclusive, only they show things that most women/men would never see. In real life, if you found out your man was dating 10 women give or take before he decided to date ony you, most people would be too turned off to consider dating only this guy.At first I thought they were trying to bring back arranged marriages, and then it reminded me of a coming out party from the deep south. Now it just reminds me of a beauty pageant, especially with all the changes they have made. I think Bob's personality has changed because he's in the hot seat and has been for a while. Going from a normal life to semi-celebrity must be extremely surreal and then back again to the normal life must be like coming off adrenaline. If the woman that he chooses works out to be good for him, he'll get back to his old self after the craziness ends and the camera finds new prey. At least he had enough in him to make demands on the show that it would not lead to a proposal.

Hi ILuvBob,Who really thinks of things as being "beneath them" these days? Weird. Anyway, my history with the Bachelor/Bachelorette series is spotty. The only one I attempted to watch was when Trista was the Bachelorette. I thought the show was painful with one exception: Bob, who was funny, self-deprecating and pretty far from your average dating show buff hunk. I was impressed. Trista was interested too-- at least a little bit. Pretty early into the season, I vowed to turn off the t.v. as soon as Bob was booted because I didn't find the rest of the show interesting. And then he was booted and I stopped watching. Then, I hear Bob's coming back as the Bachelor, and like everybody else, I was excited at the prospect of this type of show breaking the mold. Here comes the funny, warm, chubby bachelor. But, as we all know, that's not the way it happened. Bob gets famous, loses his extra weight, becomes the new ladies' man, AND by the time he shows up at the mansion full of women, the new rule is that they (a direct quote) "HAVE TO LOOK GOOD IN THE HOT TUB." Just like BOB looked so good in the hot tub last season. I think the format of this show is hypocritical and boring, and now that I see Bob in this light-- as the "seriously-playing-the-field" same as everybody else (or is it worse?) bachelor, I'm disappointed. I don't really care if we should consider the women slutty or not. I didn't have any expectations of them. They aren't kissing each other, which means that even if they know or suspect Bob's kissing other women, they, at least, have their affections pointed in one direction. Anyway, I've said my peace.

29. "English Professor huh?" |
When Bob was entertaining Trista, he represented a certain demographic of men AND women. To me, he represented the person who doesn't have all the looks, but his/her personality may overcome any physical attraction that wasn't there earlier. Once you been out with a few boy toys that can't hold a conversation past his southern hemisphere, or some bimbette who only talks about her shopping libido, then the pretty people become something a lot less appetizing. Only then can you really notice people like Bob. Then ABC takes a guy like Bob, and exposes him to a whole new world. Once you're in the spot light, not only do people want to pick you apart, they want to positively and negatively obliterate anything and everything about you. You have people in this corner crooning over his great smile, then you have people in that corner saying how phoney he is when he smiles. You can't please everybody, but in essence Bob is a virgin this way. There's nothing to prepare an average person for this type of semi-celebrity except to deal with it as it comes and hope there's someone along the way that will offer some good advice on how to deal with it. If no mentor, then the result would be a personality change that people have no way to understand. If you're into rationalizing, then think of Bob's tongue as a misplaced modifier. Your the noun and Bob's the verb, and you're having a disagreement. The twins? They were definitely a double negative. What were they thinking? Looking good in the hot tub, yes, I know - a double standard. I once knew this guy who was about 70 pounds overweight, and I asked him if he would go out with a girl who was his equal in this way, and he said absolutely not. So if a hardbody walks into a restaurant with whale blubber, most of the people in that room would probably think that one is too good for the other one based on appearances only. I don't consider the women slutty either. I consider most of the people who go on reality shows as vulnerable and seduced by the network/production company. The one exception may be the people who go on shows like Survivor or Fear Factor and/or this forum sometimes. I was driving on the freeway the other day, and there was an extra dose of road rage that day, and I told my son that I felt like I was driving through a chat room Ciao baby!

Yes, I'm rooting for Bob, but he's still not above criticism as long as it's not too harsh. I do try to keep it constructive, though admittedly sometimes I get weak. The critique on this board could work as a way for Bob to keep his feet on the ground just in case his ego is getting inflated from sources other than his lady.

Before I read any further, I have to totally agree with you. While I liked Bob in the Bache(whorette), I do not like him now at all. He seems like he is making up for lost time, kissing everything with a pulse. He said he is in love now - man, I would hate to be the girl on the receiving end, because he must have had to do a lot of testing before he found what he liked - I could not watch if my "beloved" had to see what everyone else tasted like before he found me to be the one. Sorry, I just couldn't wait to see Bob the humble, funny guy as the Bachelor until I actually watched the show and found that he is just Bob the horny guy.

I do have to say I hope that Bob's new personality is mostly due to editing! I miss the old Bob too! I think we are all upset with how he is on the new show. It makes me wonder though....are the times when he is funny and sweet, being edited to make him appear differently. He is kissing them all, and that can't be crafty editing! LOL I hope there are no hard fellings with anyone, I just think with these shows and the way they are edited isn't fair to the people they portray. Just like on Joe Miliionare, they showed Sarah in the woods with Evan....BUT used audio from a conversation with another female contestant giving her a back rub a few days earlier. I know these people are aware of the things that might happen before they go, but still it's unfair to us "the viewers" also. Needless to say, I will continue to watch...I am an addict!!!

I don't know if you have the privilege that I have living in Bob's home town but Bob said he would only do the show if he didn't have to propose to the girl he chose. So what does that tell you? That he is doing this show to have a good time. If he finds someone that is a bonus. To me that indicates that Bob is a player and he is not in this to meet his 'lifetime' mate only to have a good time. Expect him to kiss them all over and over and over. By doing this he hurts his chance for finding that lifelong mate. I mean if Bob picked you and you saw that he was so passionate with the other girls (upon watching the show) would you still want to stay with him. I would bet that this relationship don't last. It's doomed.

let's not forget that Bob is a business man. he is dumb as a fox. he gets his 15 minutes of fame AND women falling all over him AND we find out that he is a singer.none of this can hurt him in his private life. he is in a win-win situation. a serious relationship would be a bonus. and Any press is good p.r....the good and the bad, i bet he just wants his name spelled right.

43. "It's doomed..." |
What does that tell me? That Bob is grounded in that he doesn't necessarily believe that the premis with which he meets his final girl would automatically lead to marriage. Of course he's going to make the best of the situation, if he didn't kiss every girl, he'd come across as frigid and weird, and for a guy that may be worse than impotence.If Bob picked me (although he's not really my type) and I saw that he was so passionate with the other girls would I still want to stay with him? . Well, I wouldn't go on one of these shows, but for the sake of argument, I'll pretend that I would. . I'd go into it with the attitude of likely being rejected rather than the last girl standing, but that wouldn't influence my behavior with Bob or the other girls. . I would have carefully thought about how much in common and how compatible we could be (based on the tiny shard of info I'd have about Bob before agreeing to go on the show). Why waste his time and mine? . I look at the kissing during the show as a condensed version of Bob's dating scene over a normal period of say two years. I wouldn't feel any claim to Bob until well after the show ended. He'd have to give me a real strong indication (outside of the show) that he's ready for a committed relationship before I would feel justified enough to get possessive. . How possessive? Give us some quality/quantity time, and just don't cheat on me after you claim me as your one and only. If you do cheat, then it's... "Nice to have met you, have a good one, just not with me with a wonderful parting gift" type of thing. The break-up would be short, clean and as clinical as possible. I'd probably only get hysterical if he gave me hepatitis or something grandiose along those lines. I'm not into the desperate, please, please you gotta love me kind of thing. You can lead a penis to women, but you can't make him think. . What's the parting gift? Probably a Christmas ornament so he could think about that moment every year after. Ooooooo, reality bites. I agree that the likelihood of the relationship is probably doomed. Bob and his mate will have a lot to overcome, and I've never agreed with the show as an appropriate premise with which to start a relationship. It could very well work out with lifelong fireworks for both of them. It's just a nicer visual to hope for the best.

Hi Boomerang, "WHY NOT EXACTLY!" As stated above, Bob has nothing to lose from being on The Bachelor. and i have absolutely no objections whatsoever.It is a win-win situation for him, and possibly for some woman. although i am starting to worry that he might pick Misty. Did you ever notice that they have nothing of substance to talk about? not that he discusses the world economy or anything with any of them. It's just a physical thang with 99.48% of them. Oh well, live and let live.
