Like Jenna and it looks like the model has some moments in the episodes to come.

I was hoping he wouldn't pick her but then I thought the same thing..he will pick her last. I am sure that wasn't his idea

I watch it for pure entertainment and to see how predictable the show will be year after year.

And again I ask why do all the psychos come from Utah (my state) i.e. Ben, Michelle and now Monica. Just once I would like a decent contestant from Utah lol

These bachelors should simply be honest when they get down on one knee and ask, "so, will you hook up with me for a few months?"

I like Ben and was looking forward to his Bachelor season. Last season when he showed his goofy side by talking doggy talk with Ashley, was a fun side of him we didn't see much of last season. I'm hoping we get to see him let loose & relax a little. The skinny dipping scene I knew about from his appearance on Live with Kelly.

Jenna was over the top drama. Of course, we viewers see what the editors want us to see. There's no way she reacted the way she did based on the little interaction we viewers saw between her & Monica.

Don't know what the deal-e-o is with Monica & Blakely. Again, might be some editing there to confuse us viewers or to sway our opinions on that whole scene.

Courtney's (the model) lips bug me--specifically her upper lip.

I like Nicki & Elyse. They both have beautiful eyes.

Lindzi's entrance on the horse was a little over the top but it got her noticed--and remembered.

Can someone tell me where we have seen that model, Courtney before? She looks VERY familiar.

Courtney Robertson has been in a lot of things -- cover of fitness magazine, in a Ceasar's Palace commercial, and she has dated a D-lister, so she has been photographed at premires, etc. Google her name and you get a lot of hits, including her modeling website.

I also thought it was quite funny when they showed Ben and someone stripping down to go skinny dipping and whatever else.

If you watch it for pure entertainment value only, then you will enjoy the season. There are a lot of laughs in this show. I thought it was also very funny with one woman coming on to the other woman, and laying next to her rubbing her arm and who knows what else. lol

I like Ben. I do hope he finds his true love or at least someone to hang out and have fun with for awhile. There is a lot of comedy in these shows. I will be watching til the end.
I had assumed years ago that these women were hand picked for the Bachelor based on his preferences when the truth is that they cast whoever they want to cast to make for a good show. That right there makes it unlikely this show will ever be a success for anyone in terms of romance.

The other thing the producers do on the first night introduction is ply everyone with alcohol and it's known that it's a whole night thing, as in they don't finish filming until 6 AM sometimes. So you get a bunch of caty women in a house lit up on booze in the wee hours of the morning and you'll get plenty of drama.

Basically as you say you have to treat it as entertainment.

Why shoot yourself? Shoot the TV.


This mess sure makes Ashley look good!

I sort of liked Ben when he was on Bachelorette, but now I'm wondering why I ever did. As someone else here already said he's become a big dweeb...and what is the deal with his hair?? A center part?? Really???

I too have to read Reality Steve...so if he's right, and he usually is...
I think I'm done watching already. What's the point hoping and rooting for someone normal and nice???

As for several of these skanks.... I couldn't get over the difference in the labor and delivery nurse -- as in the way she was portrayed in her little profile, the selfless big sis who took care of her younger siblings when her mother couldn't -- and the snarky, NASTY ("it smelled like grandma") at the cocktail party! And the "do you want a taste of bacon" line when she first met Ben... give me a break.

This show has truly jumped the shark and it seems they are scraping the bottom of the barrel in contestants.

I already looked at what Reality Steve has said will win....Not sure if I can stand to watch the remainder of the show. I kind of liked the girl Jamie, but the guys always go for the bad girls, like the girls go for the bad boys!
