Rockytop Chick 314 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 05-20-04, 10:42 AM (EST) "Upset with ABC" I am really upset with ABC and /or the producers of this show right now. There has always been a reason why the first girl out of the limo is the dumpee. How awkward must it have been for Jessica to have to go back in the house and wait for him to dump Tara?? They had to go and change it up for the purpose of leaving us hanging about 30 more seconds. The old formula worked well. The bachelor or bachelorette would get the tough part out of the way and then the one he or she had chosen would show up and the last five minutes of the show would be all happy and sweet. Then for them to edit so much of Tara being so nervous and even throwing up when she's the one getting dumped, I just didn't think that was very nice at all. If it had been Kirsten from Bachelor 3, OK fine. We all hated her and would loved to see her go through all that only to get dumped. But I don't think there were many of us who held much ill-will towards Tara. OK, I've had my little rant. Gonna go do some work now.   Top

buscemi 414 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 05-20-04, 10:45 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Upset with ABC" Tara was supposed to be up first. She only came second b/c they freaked out. What could they have done...delayed Jessica B.? If they did that, she would have known that she was arriving second, and thus the winner (unless they lied to her). They showed Tara freaking out b/c this explained why Jessica B. arrived 1st.   Top

KScott 3265 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 05-20-04, 10:47 AM (EST) 2. "Did they plan that??" Or did Tara getting sick slow things up? Maybe she was supposed to the first to arrive but then kept getting sick, slowing things down. Jessica shows up first, what are they gonna do send her away? I don't know if something like that happened or if they just wanted to change things for a while. I didn't like the way things happened, I was going Woo-Hoo Tara won when I saw Jessica get out of the limo. Oh well, that is reality tv for ya! - of course it's a Slicey! A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn... that was fun!"   Top

So if they do want to change it up in the future, the producers can let the dumpee arrive first like normal, but then edit the show so we see them getting out in a different order. I like the surprise of not knowing until he makes his speech to the woman. BTW, I thought the "puking" sound effects that were obviously edited into the audio were unnecessary. I think we all know what it sounds like when someone pukes.   Top

RealityAddict 327 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 05-20-04, 11:02 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Did they plan that??" I agree that the barfing sounds seemed to be dubbed in...and they kept showing the same footage over and over of Tara laying over in the limo...do they think we are blind??? I could tell they kept replaying scenes to make it look worse than it really was. This season for me has been a real let down due to ABC's over-editing. The whole Trish fiasco (I can't even talk about how STUPID it is that she will be at the ATFR show next week...why???) and then the barfing scenes with Tara...IMHO the show has reached an all time low.   Top

Surely they aren't considering making her the Bachelorette are they? It seems there is some ulterior motive going on here with all the face time this skank is getting.   Top

Corie161 15 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 05-20-04, 02:30 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Barfing sounds" I noticed that when they were making the barfing sounds she wasn't hardly bent over, and had she really barfed at that moment it would have been all over her dress. That was just my observation anyhow. I feel for her, I have been nervous to the point of puking, and man is it embarrassing. Corie   Top

Those were such FAKE barfing sounds and yes it would have been all over her pretty white dress! It amazed me too how good Tara looked after all the crying and puking took place!   Top

RollDdice 5949 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-20-04, 03:34 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Did they plan that??" The problem is that in the search for ratings these shows resort to a major "taffy pull" - - stretching a thirty minute show out to two hours. But I think it was really over the top when they showed Tara upchucking 7 or 8 times. Was that really necessary? And multiple shots of the garden, so ABC got their money's worth out of the floral designer.   Top

Tiggertramp 3141 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 05-20-04, 12:10 PM (EST) 6. "why care?" What is the big deal?? Jessica still gets the guy, do you think she really care what order she gets the guy in? In the end Jesse is still hers. So what? I think she felt for her man to have to go through a tough break up with a girl he cares for, and she does too for that matter. They are friends. Or were in the house. I think ABC did what they had to do based on Tara. Either way it made for great TV. Excellent siggy by JSlice, Worm by the Fab IceCat I wish I were a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum...Cuz how can you be grumpy, When the sun shines out your bum??   Top

Poncho 787 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 05-20-04, 03:15 PM (EST) 9. "RE: why care?" LAST EDITED ON 05-20-04 AT 03:30 PM (EST) LAST EDITED ON 05-20-04 AT 03:16 PM (EST) Personally I wish ABC would realize that we want to see REALITY TV not some script played out by people who can't even act. (I will watch Young and the Restless if that is what I wanted to see) I would like to see the real feelings of these people and not ABC's "edited" version for high ratings. Poncho   Top

asianflow 13 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 05-20-04, 03:50 PM (EST) 11. "RE: why care?" ABC has the perfect formula. ABC heavily edits the show to make for the best tv. I thought this was the best season and the Trish storyline worked. It created buzz and water cooler talk which was their goal. Heck we all watched the show. For people that are unhappy with the show I would suggest not watching it if it bugs you so much. You control the remote.   Top

"RE: why care?" >For people that are unhappy with >the show I would suggest >not watching it if it >bugs you so much. You >control the remote. Well the point for these boards are to discuss our opinions about the show. And yes I think I will change that remote to a different station next time because ABC STINKS Poncho   Top

RealityAddict 327 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 05-20-04, 04:16 PM (EST) 14. "RE: why care?" AMEN Poncho! I come to these boards to discuss topics...one of which is my current disappointment in this season of the Bachelor...everyone has an opinion and this is the place to voice it! And DUH, I KNOW I am in control of my remote...that's why I should use it to whack myself on the head if I turn it to another episode of the Bachelor (this goes into effect immediately after I watch the ATFR episode)   Top

escapedude 250 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 05-20-04, 04:21 PM (EST) 15. "RE: why care?" The final episode was very heavily edited...The limo scene and hotel scene made poor Tara look like a basket case..The reshowed the same footage over and over..I really dont think it was as bad as ABC made it look.. Tara did look "cleaned up" when he broke the news to her..   Top

quickbrightthings 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 05-20-04, 04:05 PM (EST) 12. "RE: why care?" Not really a big deal in terms of the show... maybe a tad awkward for Jessica. (Plus, my money's on the camera crew ushering her upstairs and telling her where she had to stand by the window and watch.) My only problem was that once I saw Jessica pull up in the limo first, I just assumed she was being sent home and went to go brush my teeth, therefore missing most of Jesse's speech to her. However, given my level of excitement for this season, my initial reaction at missing this was, "eh, whatever". Lawyer!Barbie, Contractor!Barbie, it's all the same to me... But, in the end, I do wish them well. Maybe they'll manage to defy the odds somehow.   Top

reedcom 4 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-20-04, 05:16 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Upset with ABC" This episode was sooooooo predictably predictable. The producers made several OBVIOUS edits to imply Tara would be picked to dupe us viewers. In all stories of romance (except this show) you know who is going to end up together so you can root for them. This show however tries to fool you every time. They apparently think this will garner ratings but to me it's just edited to the point of non-reality TV. The other thing which is really annoying are the incredibly repetitive generic clips they keep playing. How rich would I be if I had a nickel for every time I heard the word "amazing" or "I can't decide" or "how do you feel about me"? You know there HAS to have been SOME conversation about movies, the weather, board games, anything else more specific than these cliches! Why do they never show that? {Grumble}   Top

escapedude 250 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 05-21-04, 11:43 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Upset with ABC" You forgot about the all time fave "Im so confused"! The reason they dont really get into heavy discussion about "real" issues I guess is because they feel the viewers will find it boring..   Top
