The Bachelorette: I Can't Be The Only One Watching, Can I?

Bellodomani

So I'm coming out as a closet Bachelor/ Bachelorette fan- my husband runs a fantasy league for a bunch of our friends and last season I started watching and I'm totally hooked now. So if you are also a fan, give me your predictions! Who do you think is gonna go all the way? Who do you think is the best looking? Who would you choose if you were the bachelorette?

Ok, my answers- in the fantasy league I have Aaron Rodgers' brother (why can I never remember his name?) going all the way- he's handsome, he has an actual personality, and JoJo seems into him. I think Wells is the cutest guy because I like scrawny musicians, but
if I were the bachelorette I'd probably go with James Taylor because he's musical, friendly, and handsome in a really low-key way.

I think it's too soon for me to have a prediction, but I think Derek (the guy that got the first 1:1 date) will go far.  I think Alex (and a bunch of other dudes) is wayyy to focused on what Chad's doing and so far I don't really see anything Chad is doing wrong.  Yeah maybe he's kind of a cocky dick, but really he's just doing his own thing and minding his own business.  There were a couple other guys I liked, but I can't remember their names!

I can't predict who she'll choose, but I am a fan of Jordan (Aaron Rogers brother), Derek and some guy whose face I can picture but can't remember his name.

Chad is asinine, but hilarious with the commentary. He seems a bit unhinged, but not because of being honest about how it isn't possible to love this girl yet, because of his aggression. 

The ones that weird me out are/were Viagra guy, the Hipster (not a career buddy!), and Drunk Daniel (who seems to have a man crush on Chad).

I said it on the Random thread, I'll say it again... Chad is THE BEST!!! Lol- I seriously love him so much. But she's obviously going with Jordan. I feel like the past few seasons there's been a clear winner from the beginning-- this season it's Jordan.

I always cheat and read the spoilers that reality Steve posts on his website, so I won't make any predictions! If I were her I would definitely choose James Taylor. He seems like such a sweetheart and they're both from Texas.  I think Derek is cute!!

A friend got me hooked last season! I'm pleasantly surprised with Jordan, a Wells fan, and the firefighter! Sorry but Chad is not only hyper aggressive but comes off as potentially abusive. Red flags JoJo, steer clear.

She strikes me as the type of woman that always dates an aggressive, hot douche then wonders why all of her relationships fail. "Men are assholes!" We all have this friend, right?

Clarification: I don't think Chad is best for JoJo. Chad is best for my entertainment.

Agreed!

@kami09 Lol, figured as much. He's clearly psychotic, which makes for good tv but not great boyfriend material

You guys, even my husband who hates this show thinks Chad is a dick and needs to go home.  He is outrageous this episode.  Who punches doors like that?

Chad is having a roid rage and it's amazing! even though he would be a terrible choice for Jojo's husband I can't help but want him to stick around just for entertainment value

Chad is ridiculous. He was claiming he doesn't have issues with anyone, but spends every minute telling the camera how much he hates them all, how he's obviously the best, etc. And while I think Evan (I think that is Viagra guys name) was behaving a bit like a child trying to prove how tough he was/running to Chris Harrison, the fact remains that Chad can dish it but can't take it. And his repeated assertions that sometimes things just need to get physical to resolve the problem just underscore his lack of intelligence and self control. Guy has got to go!

Other thoughts: I'm not really into country, but James Taylor is adorable and pretty talented (though he needs to do something about his hair). It doesn't seem like they have any actual chemistry together though.
That yoga date was hella awkward.
Jojo's inability to see Chad's negative behavior because there are "things about him I like" explains why she always ends up with guys that don't treat her well as she said. If this is how he treats people and behaves when everyone is watching, just imagine what he will be like when it's just the two of you and no one is looking.

Weirdly enough, Wells was our runner-up baby name. I saw it somewhere on a forum when we were looking for names with nicknames. We considered naming DS2 Hartwell and calling him Wells. Ultimately, we didn't go there. DS1 has kind of a weird name and we thought DH's parents would roll their eyes at another one. Lol But we thought it was cool. How odd now that I'm seeing that name on an actual person.

I'm going to miss Chad so,so much!!! I really don't think he's as bad in real life. My guess is he wasn't too sure he'd make it far but wanted to make a big enough splash to be asked to do Bach in Paradise...& We will see a completely different person there.

I'm joining the party watching the season on Hulu! 
I think she will pick Jordan, he's the most handsome and she seams like a person who would be attracted to the fame. I like Derek from her 1:1 and Luke, they are sweet and confident but not overbearing. Chad is ridiculous, how often do you need to talk about working out?! I do agree that contestants do seam fake falling in love right away all the time. But it seams like he's just playing the game! Is the skinny Canadian Chad's BF? lol

Why do they always keep a few weirdos like Evan and Vinny on the show for a few weeks and send some cute guys home? It's clear she's not going to pick them? I always wonder about this if the bachelor/ette is told to keep a few odd balls for TV.
Isn't it odd that she knows the previous bachelor, is that how she got  cast in the first place?
