PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

So did we, but we missed a few minutes here and there dealing with the kidlets the first go-around. Mr. Qwerty and I have giggle fits when the world is shown through Rampop's eyes. Very illuminating.

This way, he will sail off into the reality tv sunset, and be forgotten. He can have his impending identity crisis UTR instead of in the tabloids, ala Vienna and What's-his-name. Ali can be grateful for that much at least.

9. "Frank the Schmuck" |
Frank is definitely an "edited schmuck." I agree with you about the purpose of being there and, if Frank had unresolved feelings for Nicole, then yes, it is best that it happened now than later. However, last night was the first time I think I found myself not liking Frank at all.IMO, Frank is an incomplete story. And this whole scene with Nicole simply verifies that. I wish we knew more about what happened with Frank in his past: Why did his relationship with Nicole end? Why did Frank really leave his job and go to Paris? Why is Frank really still living with his parents? Etc. I've said before that I really don't think Frank knows what he wants. Ali's stated purpose for going on the show was to find a husband? How could Frank possibly be that if he doesn't even know what he wants? I also don't like how Frank has been the whole time about his relationship with Ali. I understand not competely opening up. I understand having reservations because she's been dating 25 other guys along the way. But this was a big unresolved part of Frank. It reminds me a little of Ali with Jake. She chose her job because Jake wasn't the "sure thing." Perhaps Frank chose Nicole because Ali wasn't the "sure thing." There was something completely odd about that whole Nicole story. He has to go to Chicago to "find her." She obviously knew he was coming. It was just weird and odd to me.

25. "RE: Frank the Schmuck" |
Regarding Ali choosing her job over Jake, the only sure thing there is that she's damn lucky she did that, because had she stayed and he picked her, she would have been the one instead of Vienna to find out how much of a self-absorbed butthole Jake is. She potentially saved herself a boatload of grief there.

What's completely odd about the whole Frank/Nicole story is it's a bunch of BS to spice up this boring show! Ali jumping all over the other 2 guys & jumping in the sack with them & then crying 'cause she doesn't get to do it with Frank........puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze! This should be the last season of this phony show. How many of you girls out there could love all over & take turns with more then one guy. Maybe, you guys could, but decent women aren't programmed that way! It's all for the ratings......reality my "A"! A nobody becoming a somebody in the Celebrity world. She, sure, won't win an academy award.....what a phony! And looking for a husband......she's, too, immature.....needs to grow up!

6. "RE: ep 8: July 19 - ECST" |
Even though I knew what was going to happen on last night's show, I had to watch it play out.Roberto is just about the yummiest thing I've seen in some time. It's not just the dimples (although I'm a sucker for 'em) or the soulful eyes. He just seems to be the whole package. I'm working on DH's permission to apply if Ali turns him down and Roberto becomes the next bachelor (sigh). Last night was the first time I understood all the Chris lurve. He's pretty fine in his own right. A little shyness can be attractive in a man, especially one so good looking. Ali could do a lot worse. Which brings us to Frank. Oh, Frank, where do I start? He states he hasn't spoken with his ex-gf for 'a couple of months' but has to check to make sure he doesn't still have feelings for her before giving himself completely to Ali? Methinks he should have determined that before he went on The Bachelorette, but okay, I'll give him a pass that he thought he was over her. At least he was a little more honest than Justin, who went on the show having not one but two ladies at home who thought they had his heart. But I digress. Even giving Frank the benefit of the doubt that he thought he had gotten over his feelings for his ex-gf when he applied, there was still something weird about their exchange. Something a little desperate about the whole thing. It was as though Frank, who has been, well, frank, about his doubts that Ali was into him, decided to go with the sure thing. Bird in the hand and all that. I felt no long lost love vibe from either of them. And, if he was going to Tahiti just to tell Ali he was leaving, why all the luggage? A backpack with a change of underwear would suffice, imho. I know, I know, it's all in the editing and as far as we know the Chicago meet happened out of sequence, but it just stood out for me. I wonder which is the horse race to watch - whether Ali and the hunk-of-her-choice or Frank and Nicole break up first. I've become so jaded about this show, and this season was spoiled in the mainstream media so I didn't even need to read the other sites. It's all an entertaining trainwreck at this point. 
I've been cap'n'd
Guess I had more to say than I thought, huh?

20. "RE: ep 8: July 19 - ECST" |
I'll just say what I think is...obvious.It's a reality TV program, the most surreally-unrealistic setting to form any kind of relationship, let alone a potential marriage. The contestants are primarily in it for money and fame. I think there has only been 1 successful relationship in all the years of the show (Trista and Ryan). Frank is the most sensible, most realistic of all of Ali's "suitors." He was looking for some exposure, and he was a little surprised that he actually liked Ali and saw the potential for a future with her. Which confused and scared him, because she *could* potentially choose someone else. I don't think Frank will end up with Nicole (it's just a dramatic turnaround), but I think he's very smart to run, run away as fast as he can get from the show and the potential marriage. I wish some of the other men, particularly from last year, were as smart and sensible as Frank. It's pretty funny to me that Ali continues to state that the men must be there for "her," that they must be loyal. And then she'll end up picking only one of them. Duh! Who wants to be left out? Frank quit the job rather than be fired by Ali, the big boss.

Or *drool* rather, over Chris. After last night, how could she not pick him. OMH, he was so funny and so cute. I saw and felt more of a "realness" with their date. With Roberto, it's more fantasy. With Chris, it's more real.I love how he drops little curse words here and there, and the whole Fantasy Suite was just hilarious. Chris is wicked perfect!

23. "RE: *sigh*" |
I agree with your analysis of Chris L and Roberto. I think Chris is by far the most mature and real. Roberto is georgeous as can be and seems a nice guy. I still hope for Chris.
As for the Frank thing.....My opinion is that Frank was honestly confused. I have dated men and liked them but still wondered about past relationships, as I am sure all of you have done at some time. A person wonders if things could have been different. As for the scene with Frank and Nicole, he had obviously gone there on the QT and then told the producers that he wanted to go back to Nicole and because of his contract they had to do an re-enactment and she had probably never been in front of a camera and had to read her lines.
I think Frank tried really hard to be honest and fair. As for the luggage, he had not been home to leave his stuff so had to take it with him.
That's my opinion on the whole thing, for what it is worth!

I'm curious if Ali planned on keeping Frank around for the final 2 had the situation with him Nicole not happened. Would she have sent Chris home instead?
