The Bachelor Thread (2/1 episode)

tmk0325 · February 2016

So, who all watched last night's episode?

I hate when they leave the episode in a cliff hanger! I would be really surprised if he sent Olivia home after giving her a rose, but you never know. I think if she does make it through this week, she's probably on the way out in the next week or two. She just irritates the crap out of me too! Funny thing, I do like the name Olivia, but after watching her, I don't think I could ever name my child that! lol

After this week, I think I still like flight attendant Lauren, Becca, JoJo, Amanda. I had a feeling Jubilee would go home, as much as I like her she kind of dug herself a grave by not opening up. Also, who is Leah? I noticed her sitting there and thought she hasn't got any show time so far...

I felt the same way about Leah... no clue who she is! I like all the same girls are you @tmk0325 I also like Lauren H. Olivia is scary crazy. I think he will keep her on for a little longer because of a comment he made on After the Rose last night. He said he liked her for "most of the season" or something like that. At least she is entertaining!

And Amanda was totally in full makeup when Ben went in at 4am right? She looked gorgeous! I need someone to professionally do my hair every day. I have zero skills in that department no matter how many fancy irons, wands and straighteners I buy. Ugh.

I would be so mad if I knew every girl in the group told him how they don't feel comfortable around Olivia and he kept her around. It would make me question a relationship with him if he didn't care about my opinion or the opinion of others. But I also agree he probably is going to keep her. I think I was as mad as some of the girls when he gave her the rose. (I get going all out to get some time with him, but how can he not see how disrespectful she has been to the others?)

I feel bad for Jubilee because I could understand how it would be hard to feel secure in the situation, but that's a part of the show. If you aren't 100% sure of yourself it's really not a good show to be on. In the end it was probably the best option for her to leave anyways.

My favorite at the moment is Amanda, but DH is rooting for Caila even though we didn't see her much this week.

I am thinking he has to be sending Olivia home, he seemed to really take what the girls were saying to heart, and you can't not see what kind of person she is after hearing all that. When she made the teen mom comment I couldn't even believe it.

I feel bad for Jubilee and agree she should have known what she was getting into with the show. Ben seemed to really like her but she just should have faked it a little better lol. When she wouldn't take his hand my heart hurt for him.

I really like Lauren H! I did know who Leah was just because I keep thinking how cute she is every time they have her on. I had no idea Jennifer was still on, she gets zero screen time I feel like. Amanda is adorable too, if she doesn't make it she should be the next bachelorette!

bananers · February 2016

I'm thinking Leah and Jennifer have to be going home. They get no screen time and he has a much better connection to the rest of the girls.

Amanda is adorable but she has a serious case of the likes. I've never heard anyone say "like" as many times as she did last night. If she's the next bach'ette she needs some serious coaching to kick that habit!

pelorunningmama · February 2016

@bananers totally agree! I could hardly listen to her talk last night because the "likes" were driving me crazy. Other than that, she's great.

tmk0325 · February 2016

Amanda's baby voice also kind of gets to me. But overall, I do like her! I also like Caila too. I agree with @bananers , I think Leah and Jennifer are probably going home just due to lack of air time.

mamaqdubu · February 2016

Everyone has to remember that Jennifer and Leah don't get air time because the producers chose not to edit them in (and Ben has no control of that!) I wouldn't be surprised either if at least one of them goes home, but at the same time it could be because they are more "average" and "normal" (you know.... more like the rest of us in the world haha) and won't draw as good of ratings compared to the ultra compassionate, ultra gorgeous, or ultra-crazy (uh hem Olivia)

just my 2 cents! My and my girlfriends are in a fantasy pool of who goes through each week! It's my only guilty pleasure show I watch

JournoGrl23 · February 2016

Ahh! I can't wait to watch it. I'll read all your comments and comment myself tomorrow. I usually watch the show on Tuesdays (my Saturday) but ended up having to work today so I have to wait until tomorrow to watch it! It looked like a good episode from the commercials.

Kjohnson1426 · February 2016

I hate cliff hangers!!!! But am I the only one who was glad to see Jubilee go home?! I couldn't stand her... Too much jealousy and insecurity to be on this type of show.

In addition to also not liking Olivia, I don't like the twin.. I forget her name. But I'm not a fan.

Can't wait till next week!!

bananers · February 2016

@caitlinj187 oh, I totally know it's 99% the producers. But they also tend not to show much of the ones they don't need us to care about. Then again, I don't think Catherine got a lot of air time on Sean's season until the end, so I could be wrong!

@kjohnson1426 I agree. Haylie (twin) needs to go.

angelob88 · February 2016

Jubilee was too insecure, I didn't like her very much at all because she just wasn't confident in herself which means she can't commit fully to the relationship. That's my personal opinion.

I really think that Ben might send Olivia home (at least that's what I'm hoping for) I still can't believe she made that teen mom comment. She's awful, and I know some of it is editing but at the same time if she didn't say such horrible things they wouldn't be able to use it. She needs to go home and work on her attitude and the way she approaches people.

I'm still cheering for Amanda, Lauren B or Becca. I like Caila too but I don't know how strong the connection is with her. We'll see

JournoGrl23 · February 2016

Finally watched it!

I was sad Jubilee went home because she was my favorite. But, unfortunately, I think it's good she did since she was having so much trouble opening up. I know I could never be in that situation so I can't imagine how hard it would be for all of them.

I actually think Lauren H. Should be the next bachelorette. She's funny and cute and has a positive personality.

As as far as Olivia, I want her to go home so bad. But after watching the commercials for next week's episode I'm betting he keeps her on and that's what pisses the women off. She's so disrespectful I just don't see what he sees in her.

revlaurawittman · February 2016

Im ready for Olivia to be out of there. She drives me nuts and she's delusional. I love Ben though and I think he's my favorite bachelor of all time. The way he treats the girls with such respect really makes my heart happy. I feel like he's genuinely trying with each person. I hate cliffhangers. I want to know what happens!!
