They never >work out! Nice try, SilverStar,
I read the same thing and was laughing. Until, perhaps, I dug deeper (or shallower as in this case) and realized Harold's view of "success" may be the "shagging" that takes place!!! He wants that "couples suite"! His Website illustrates that he may be a wee bit <sic> of an ego-maniac. I'm sure as a hockey player he's been hit a few too many times, and he has retreated (or never matured) past the point of shag conquests. God Bless Reality TV. NorthShoreJane

Puhleeese. Normally I find hockey players extremely hot, but I can't get over this guy's weirdness. Total DAW. If I'm reading his website correctly (through my laughter...and tears), he has not been in the NHL even one day in his life, yet he is selling "Harold Hersh Hockey Memorabilia" like he's a superstar. Am I missing something? And that photo where he's punching out with his ring?! If Meredith picks him, I will be STUNNED.

LAST EDITED ON 01-17-04 AT 02:43 AM (EST)Actually, Harold's accomplishments in hockey are quite impressive. He was on the team representing Canada in the Maccabi cup, which Canada won, a recognized international event and his team won the finals in 2001/02. Just because he didn't make the NHL doesn't make him a has been or his hockey career something to joke about. Considering 90% of Canadian boys play hockey at some time or another, the liklihood of making the NHL is small. However, Harold's accomplishments should not be criticized, especially by those who don't know anything about hockey. In Canada, it is perfectly acceptable to play in the farm teams, WHL or the minors, which I believe his team is one of. His stats are also extremely impressive. Just this past year he scored 85 goals!! Not even the best players in the NHL get that many. A goal scorer in the NHL is considered good at 50 plus goals. There were other years he had over 50 and from 1993 - 97 he scored 69 65 63 67 goals respectively! 1998/98 he scored over 70 goals!EXCELLENT RECORD which remains consistently over 60 goals every year!

Having dated someone for years who played on farm teams and subsequently in the NHL, I actually know a fair bit about hockey. I guess not enough about CANADIAN hockey. But I do know that neither my former SO nor his teammates were such vapid self-promoters as Harold (I think this is why Rick bothers me as well). So...apologies if I came of as criticizing his accomplishments; I meant to criticize his (lack of) modesty.

Don't know about the hockey angle, but I'm bothered by both these guys. I think Rick thinks he's waaay hotter than he actually is...(and he would be hot if not for the 'tude). Harold kind of pulled a "Mary" on tonight's episode talking about having kids and picturing Meredith pregnant...not something you discuss on a first date.

The whole baby and kids angle was way too soon. I never paid much attention to Harold last week. But this week he stood out as the oddball that was not going to get a rose.And Rick is going downhill fast. He calls himself a metrosexual male? Who does that? He doesn't like outdoorsy stuff and yet Meredith is out getting muddy and playing. Not a good pair.

I agree with you both. Pulling out how beautiful someone would look pregnant is generally not accepted first date conversation. I'm sure it was edited such that all of his baby-related comments were shown, but even so there were more than enough of them to have anyone running for the hills. I think his weirdness may even exceed his DAWness.Rick's another one who gives me the willies (probably because I have to watch his overweight, overtan dad on tv commercials continually during the bachelorette -- must set up tivo, but I digress). My favorite quote of the night was when he asked Meredith if the Minnesota accent was sexy and she replied, "Well I wouldn't say SEXY". May just be because I'm from MN, but I laughed out loud.

I laughed too. And not because of the accent. I have alot of relatives in Minnesota. But he seemed to be reaching for a compliment. And Meredith didn't comply.

Rick's dad D*ick owns 2nd Wind Exercise Equipment http://www.2ndwindexercise.com/Go to the bottom of the main page and you'll see a photo of what I mean... DAW is desperate attention whore, like all of our ratings and what all of our reality show contestants personify (making it fun for us to bash away).

I think Marcus and the hockey player should be set up with Mary from the BB fiasco.
