Bachelor/Bachelorette/Paradise Catch-All

[TonyTexas 10524]

^^^

She would be a good choice. Her age, 38, would make it a different but interesting, show. 

[Vito Andolini 9129]

I read something with the age I posted, but it looks like you’re right.

The new Bachelorette will be revealed Monday morning, which means it can’t be one of the three remaining “contestants” this season. Victoria F. could have been a fun choice with those giant tits, loose, home wrecking morals and penchant for drama, but Hannah Ann is way too young and Madi is as boring as her sexual history. 

Reality Steve says he has learned the identity:

As noted by several outlets, the choice is supposed to be a real surprise, so that eliminates crazy Kelsey “Is that my champagne?” Weir... and Reality Steve says it’s Clare Crawley, the runner up from Juan Pablo’s season. She’s 32, full of crazy and hot enough to make dudes fight over her. Rumor has it they wanted to go a touch older, early 30’s to get a more interesting mix, rather than early twenty somethings who don’t know what they want yet.

 

Confirmed Clare Crawley.  She's actually 38, not 32, which will be quite the shift from the stream of 24 year olds that have graced our screen lately.

absolutely not.

this thread is for the bachelor, the bachelorette, bachelor in paradise, bachelor winter games, bachelor musical edition listen to your heart, bachelor senior citizens, bachelor pad, bachelor cananada, bachelor australia, the bachelor movie with chris o'donnell, bachelor party with tom hanks, and the great muppet caper bachelor.

we have our limits.

What about The Bachelor Vietnam, where two of the chicks dumped the dude and declared their love for each other?

 

 

[henrygandorf 29194]

so i guess this is the bachelor senior citizen show they’ve been advertising. 

bip will be interesting. 

[Beau Vine 54398]

Have to get Alayah and Victoria on BiP.

[henrygandorf 29194]

the problem is clare's group of dudes will (should) be 34-48.  although i'm sure they'll throw in some 26-30 year olds.  peter's group of chicks was mostly 23-27.  the demo breakdown in mexico could be...unbalanced.

Ugh, she sucks.

[Go Pokes 979]

Ugh, she sucks.

She doesn’t suck for what we want out of this show. But yes, if I had to spend 5 minutes with her (unless she’s naked), I would want to open a vein for the sweet release of death.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2739]

I, for one, hope she channels her inner Brett Michaels and whores it up in epic fashion.

she will 100% keep some 26 year old eye-candy type long enough to bang him, then cut him loose.

upon hearing the news this morning, my wife said, "is that the chick with one arm?"

[BrazilHorn 6630]

would have been a much better show with a 38 year old "Bachelor" and a bunch of 30-45 year old ladies.

[RockyMountainHighHorn 896]

So all of the thousands of guys that applied this year had their applications thrown out? On the last episode this year will it say “we need applicants for the bachelorette...just a tad older or if you post on surly”?

[C-Man 27255]

So Madison wound up coming back and is one of the final two. I thought she and Hannah Ann would be the final two awhile back so I'm wondering what the shocking twist is going to be. Does he pick Madison and then it blows up over the whole fantasy suite thing? I'm still sticking to my guns that he's not with either Hannah Ann or Madison at this point.

Not sure I'm going to bother with the songwriting Bachelor show.

Wasn't there a show like this years and years ago, with some professional tennis player? He was in his thirties and the women were either in their 20s or in their 40s and 50s.

I think it was called "Age of Love." He chose a young one btw.

Yeah, it was completely obvious when somebody said it was a real-life "A Star Is Born" -- I'm sure that was the exact pitch to ABC.

Your memory is much better than mine, as I watched this, yet completely forgot about it.

2007, Mark Phillipousis was the lead.

I think the stakes will be higher for a bunch of 30-40 year olds, so the drama could be fun (provided the casting is right... avoid people who are actually grown up). I think the fisherman was the oldest lead at 40, and his “winner” was appropriately crazy, with several run ins with the law.

And there will be plenty of 25 year olds in the Bachelor universe to fill out a cast for Paradise 

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2739]

Clare? That’s a fat girls name.

[RockyMountainHighHorn 896]

Anyone have any bets on what happens next week? I know they always plug the “most dramatic finale” every year but something has to go down that’s out of left field.

1. Picks madison and she dips out. 
2. Hannah b comes back. 
3. picks the producer in question 

4. picks Hannah ann and it was all tomfoolery like some family member got hospitalized or something and that’s why he’s on the bed. 
5. Hannah b comes back and he decides he can’t pick yet. 
6. Chris Harrison informs him that Madison slept with someone and he feels betrayed.

[henrygandorf 29194]

i'll be pissed if it's the producer.  there would've been ways to drop little hints throughout the season that they had some sort of relationship building (considering 1-2x per season, you see a producer for a second talking to the contestants).

my guess is he picks madison but she changes her mind and bolts.  then he goes after her.  if there's another "twist" after that, color me surprised.

if he's actually with the producer now, that's not something they should be broadcasting to their fans.  they want to think the "process" actually yields some sort of result.

[pied 252]

I‘ll go with #1

[Beau Vine 54398]

Finally watching this.  

Gotdam, Mykenna is annoying. Tammy does seem like a raging cunt, though.  She'll be great on BiP.

I notice Kelley the lawyer is not there.  I guess she didn't like the edit of her getting dropped.

[Vito Andolini 9129]

Kelley says she wasn’t invited. Also missing was (maybe the name is) Natasha, African American contestant who had plenty of snark during the season. She says she was invited, but had a conflict.

(I just saw a funny comment on an article about the absence of Kelley... the poster wondered if she wasn’t there because she was the one he ultimately picked. Unlikely, but that would be out of left field.)

Edited March 4, 2020 by Vito Andolini
I thought wedding conflict for Natasha but was unclear

[Beau Vine 54398]

Man, there are times that Sydney looks like the hottest chick on the show (non-Victoria division), and there are times she just looks meh.

Yeah, she’s really good looking except for a massive philtrum (I had to google to remember what it’s called). I’m talking about those vertical grooves we all have between our nose and upper lip. When she’s able to minimize it, she’s great, but sometimes, it leaps out. Yes, I’m being incredibly picky and assholey.

Damn, dude, thanks for the lesson!

She looks much better when she smiles, which kind of stretches that thing out, I guess.  

I also think she looks better with her hair lightened.

Thanks to these recent posts I learned that a smooth Philtrum at rest is a classic indicator of fetal alcohol syndrome

That would be interesting for sure! I noticed she was missing too.

It looks like she's got the halfpipe from the Winter X-Games under her nose.

[TonyTexas 10524]

Looks like we’re getting a double dose of Bachelor spin-off this summer with BIP and Summer Games. 

[royiv 9342]

Peter's mom is batshit crazy. I can't imagine enduring her as a mother in law. 

[Chuckie Finster 22727]

Madison’s conversation was one of the most mature, realistic discussions I’ve ever seen on this show... so of course it looks like she completely backtracks next episode.

This. Madison seems to be real wife material. Yet she agreed to go on the show so something is wrong with her.

[Caddox 952]

Madison plays a good game and almost had me convinced she’s less crazy than the average woman and then boom she goes full psycho with her eyelashes. Looks like she has a bunch of cricket legs hanging off of her eyelids. That’s a run for the hills type of indicator.

Yup. I’m pretty sure they swing. Any guy with a mustache like that throws his keys in a bowl at parties.

Peter's brother kind of puts off a Case McCoy "Herp-a-Derp" vibe to me.

So what is the thing that Peter is not expecting that completely throws him off? I thought it was going to be Madison not showing up at all -- but that was shoved aside when she basically told him she wasn't there on their last one-on-one date. BUT Chris spoiled things a bit by saying we haven't heard the last from Madison (didn't he?) on the wrap-up last night. I might be mistaken but was there a clip of him talking to her and him asking if she made a mistake the day or two earlier? Maybe Hannah B shows up and that's who Peter winds up with because he's clearly not ready to marry Hannah Ann and Madison and he will not work out either. Or maybe there's some truth to the producer rumor.

[Go Pokes 979]

I’ve read spoilers and if they are correct, none of that happens.

[Vito Andolini 9129]

It’s gonna be a shitshow, and he’ll be hated even more than he already is

[Beau Vine 54398]

Hannah Ann looks like she has put on about 10 pounds during the season. She's not as hot as she was the first night.

SHe reminds me of my mil.  And speaking from experience, that behavior is entirely due to the enabling of Peter and his father.  

 

[Beau Vine 54398]

The fucking mom went from just sobbing to "She's not there for you, Bud" with no tears in her eyes in an instant, and I don't think it was an edit.

Honestly gained some sympathy for Peter during this episode.  To grow up with THAT and turn out halfway normal is remarkable.

[royiv 9342]

I want to know how Hannah Ann is going to feel like when she gets an engagement by default. This is not the guy who should have the lives of 150 passengers on a commercial airliner in his hands. His judgement is so shitty.
