triednottowatch 281 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 11-06-03, 10:39 AM (EST) "BOOOOOOOORING !!!" Okay, I want to get everyone's opinion on this. Lee Ann notwithstanding, does this season seem to be more boring than previous seasons of The Bachelor? I've come to the conclusion that Bob was a poor choice. On The Bachelorette we only saw small snippets of his shenanigans and it was mildly amusing. However he was one of the boys in the house with all the other boys and now he is the ceterpiece and IMHO he just can't pull it off. There is a lot of sucking face, but just not a lot of spark. These girls get so caught up in "the game" that they portray Bob as the greatest man alive, but that has been the case in each season. I'm sure psychiatrists will coin some name for the phenomenon at some point. Crap, it's beginning to look like Quasimodo could be the bachelor and the women would fawn over him. Several of them talked about how hot he is but I just don't see it. Hmmm. Maybe that could be another thread: name The Bachelor worship syndrome. Quite frankly, I like Kelly Jo so I hope he DOESN'T pick her.   Top

I was thinking that last night that I liked Bob better as a pickee rather than the picker. Maybe its just his laugh getting on my last nerve that makes me feel that way though.   Top

mrbluesky 142 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 11-06-03, 10:56 AM (EST) 2. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I wouldn't call the show boring this time around, but I do totally agree with your assessment of Bob and how he's not really that great of a guy. I also agree with the Bachelor worship syndrom. These girls act as though they have never seen a guy before. Hey girls.... he's divorced, acts like a child and hasn't shown me a thing that says he's ready to settle down. I'm also sick of him saying how tough this is for him. Buddy, you have it easy. It's the girls who have it tough. They're having to fight for your attention, see you make out with the others, smile and be happy all the time so they'll stand out, be prettier than the others -- all the time worrying if you'll can them or sleep with one of the other girls --- all you have to do is take it all in.   Top

buckeyegirl 5449 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-06-03, 11:04 AM (EST) 3. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I agree with you...this season is boring. I was catching up on Survivor Spoilers while watching it last night, and ending up missing Mary's entire date..and feel like I didn't really miss anything~I'm a big Bob fan, but, really how many times can you hear Chris say: "Most dramatic Rose Ceremony ever?" Pleasssse.... I am rooting for Kelly Jo to win, so of course that means Estella will win it all... I *lvoe* my Kyngsladye Original   Top

Wacko Jacko 2438 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 11-06-03, 11:05 AM (EST) 4. "The show is AMAZINGLY BOOOOOOOORING !!!" There should be a drinking game where you drink everytime someone says "amazing". This show is extremely boring. I only watch it because Bob is from my hometown. Also, I wondered too why he is this great catch. He aint great looking, he is middle class, and he is a play boy. He had no intention of coming on this show to meet his future wife. Where is this great sense of humor I heard about? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........   Top

"RE: The show is AMAZINGLY BOOOOOOOORING !!!" >There should be a drinking game >where you drink everytime someone >says "amazing". > >LOL I was just saying that last night!!! Is that the only adjective that these bachelor contestants know??? I started to notice it on the last bachelor, and now here we go again.....AMAZING. The date was AMAZING, Mary was AMAzing, Estella was AMAzing, Kelly JO was AMAZING, Bob is AMAzing, BLAH BLAH BLAH...........expand your vocabularies already.............   Top

jewelz10 54 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 11-06-03, 04:14 PM (EST) 18. "RE: The show is AMAZINGLY BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I agree - Grace is Amazing, Bob is NOT! Get a vocabulary! Here are a few words that mean the same damn thing - straight from the MicroSoft Thesaurus: astonishing, astounding, remarkable, wonderful, incredible, startling, marvelous, miraculous, surprising, mind-blowing, mind-boggling, staggering. Can somebody PLEASE send these words to ABC? Mind-boggling, now there is a word to describe the desperation of these girls!   Top

schmoe 69 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 11-06-03, 12:49 PM (EST) 7. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I disagree, I've been quite entertained. I like the fact the Bob is an every day guy. I like the fact that he's very candid with the audience in his interviews. The whole rose ceremony process is an absurd idea - one person rejecting these hot "contestents" who in real life would be rejecting him. I think Bob recognizes the absurdity of it and doesn't let it go to his head. Andrew was so polished and subtle you couldn't tell what he was thinking. He just kept blowing smoke at the audience. He didn't have much chemistry with the girls. He just went around asking "How do you feel about me?" and "How do you feel about the other girls". I do agree the Bob worship treatment is a bit annoying. I couldn't believe those girls were crying early on when they had the "pick your favorite and least favorite girl to go out with Bob" contest. What was there to cry about?   Top

WickedWidow 19 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-06-03, 01:09 PM (EST) 8. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" Bob is not that entertaining or that much to look at. I just hope Kelly Jo escapes without being chosen. She is too cute and has to much to offer to be stuck with someone like Bob. Estella, on the other hand, with her whiney voice is not a good choice, but let her have Bob. "Why spoil 2 couples with picking Kelly Jo?"   Top

Poncho 787 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 11-06-03, 01:14 PM (EST) 10. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I totally agree with you! I think Bob was a poor chose too. I am soooooo sick of him saying how hard this is..... WHATEVER! He knew he was going to get rid of Mary after she talked about that darn biological clock, but it did not stop him from majorly making out with her! I really thought I liked him on the Bachlorette, but now I just think Bob is a DOG! Poncho   Top

weltek 16936 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-06-03, 01:19 PM (EST) 12. "I actually disagree" It's kind of refreshing to see a bunch of mature women on the show. Leanne's immaturity was fun for a bit, but I wouldn't want to see her every week. I would've liked to have seen a little more of the girls hanging out at the house or more of the friends visit. It would have been cool for Jamie or another friend to stay with Bob the whole time.   Top

If Jamie was hanging around, it wouldn't be long until everyone realized that Bob isn't such a great catch after all.   Top

This is not one of the best Bachelor's there has been, it is too lame I mean tame. When I heard it was gonna be Bob (say the next part in your best Kristen valley girl talk) I was like Oh My God, this will be like too funny!! (end val talk) but it is "Like too dull" duh!!! I liked Andrew's Bachelor because I loved to hate Kristen, I don;t love to hate anyone left here! Anywho, that is my 2 cents worth! a JSlice "ROCKS" original   Top

Schnookie Palookie 16822 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-06-03, 03:38 PM (EST) 15. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" *raises her hand* Yup! Boooooooooooring! I've been half-heartedly watching it only to get my weekly mega-dose of reality tv. Bob does nothing for me at all. He might be a nice guy but I have to say I look away from the tv when he's smack-facing with the girls cause I'm slightly disgusted. When the show came on last night and I remembered that they were down to 3 girls, I was thinking, boy what a relief ... it'll be over real soon *What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what it's all about?*   Top

"RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" >>I have to say I look away from the tv when he's smack-facing with the girls cause I'm slightly disgusted.<< Replace "slightly" with "very" and you have my feelings. I don't see what is so special about Bob that these women would be "in Love" with him so quickly. I thought that the first Bachelor, Alex, was a snake for trying to get Trista in bed when he already knew he was going to choose Amanda. But Alex doesn't look so bad now. Now Bob is my least favorite Bachelor, even worse than Joe Millionaire's Evan! Chrissy gal "Never underestimate the potential psychosis of a reality show contestant." managerr   Top

Well, I was really "very" disgusted but wrote "slightly" to be nice You think Bob is worse than Evan? OMH! That's pretty bad LOL What a dilema to have to choose between those two. I'm disgusted with both of them but Evan made me shudder (and not in a good way), so he remains the worse for me. *What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what it's all about?*   Top

Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-06-03, 04:04 PM (EST) 17. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I never wanted Bob to be the bachelor. I just didn't see the appeal. And I was right. He is boring and I do not believe all these women are really that in love with him. So the season is boring. I hope they have a better bachelor or bachelorette next time. I just want this season over.   Top

34_4vr 32 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 11-07-03, 10:30 AM (EST) 21. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I also agree with this. I won't put all the blame on Bob though. It's just as much as the producers fault for having him and not changing it to deal with the differences of having Bob as the bachelor. In addition, we're also coming down from the "high" of having Trista and Andrew as the Bachelor/ette who were defintely there to find a spouse. They put more of themselves into it. IMO, Bob is no worse than Alex or Aaron, though. Those three were there to see if they might find a spouse, but were also there to have 25 women ogle over them. I'm probably more disappointed in all the "changes" to the show that were promised. The only changes were done in the first two episodes and weren't really changes but just hi-jinks to freak the girls out more. After that, it's SSDD. Hell, the stupid note on the one-on-one dates were even exactly the same as the previous 4 episodes. If ABC wants this show to succeed, they need to have the centerpiece more like Andrew...someone who wants and works at the process to work. They also need to be more creative in finding ways to assist in the getting to know you process. Lastly, they need to develop stories a bit better than this season. As you said, the only storylines this season was Lee-Ann and egg-dropping Mary.   Top

Tiggertramp 3141 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 11-07-03, 04:00 PM (EST) 25. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" I agree with 34_4vr about the "intent" of this show. Let's face it people, we were spoiled with the drama of Trista and Andrew taking the show seriously and looking for true love, a life partner. Bob/this show isn't so much so boring as it is just the same recycled version of Bachelor I and II. I equate Bob with Aaron at this point, because he is in it for the wrong reasons. Aaron wanted to launch his resturant, Bob wants to launch his career. See any similarities?? Andrew told people straight on after taping that he found love, we KNEW why he was there. I still have no idea what Bob is there for except self promotion. So, is it boredom? Or disappointment? Me? I am disappointed.   Top

See any similarities?? Andrew >told people straight on after >taping that he found love, >we KNEW why he was >there. I still have no >idea what Bob is there >for except self promotion. Tiggertramp, I couldn't agree with you more! I posted something about Aaron and Bob being similar in another thread. They are both out for self-promotion instead of finding a spouse. If you notice too that they both appear to be drunk in a lot of the Bachelor scenes (Aaron more than Bob on this point) AND in photos you see in magazines. I saw a photo in some mag recently(I think People) with all of the Bachelors and Trista (and their mates) and both Bob and Aaron looked totally tanked. I think Aaron and Bob are very alike! Edited to include a quote from a recent article in a Seattle paper: "This might be a good time to point out that Bob the Bachelor calls himself "a professional drinker," whose cocktail of choice is Ketel One with tonic and lemon." Oh really?????????????????   Top

Bri Guy 77 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 11-07-03, 10:08 PM (EST) 27. "RE: BOOOOOOOORING !!!" You're absolutely right, RealityAddict, about Bob's drinking. He always looks glazed over. I can't wait until the episode when Estella and KJ each get to visit Bob's most favorite place in the world -- the lake house -- and revisit with his mama. She was really soused that first night when Bob met all the girls. (How pathetic that Mama was there in the first place. It seems like a lifetime ago, but remember Leeann cozying up to Mama and soliciting advice on how a shy girl like herself could get Bob's attention?!). I bet that at the lake house Bob's whole family will be three-sheets-to-the-wind.   Top
