The Bachelor Fans: Week 1

Lmmtravels · January 2017

There was brief discussion about having a specific Bachelor fan thread now that this season has premiered, so let's do it! It's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. So, dish:

Your thoughts on Nick?

Fave picks thus far?

Who don't you like thus far?

Predictions? But, please, no spoilers!

bumpybump · January 2017

Adding another question in...who had the best and worst dresses of the night?

I'm a little indifferent on Nick. The recap of his Bachelor/Bachelorette history made me laugh. He definitely looks way better now than he did in all those recaps. I never found him attractive during Andi or Kaitlyn's seasons. I can't stand his slightly slurred speech.

My favs are: Vanessa (sped teacher), Danielle M (Nashville nurse), and Rachel (attorney). And shark/dolphin girl was funny but I don't think she'll last.

I don't like: Josephine, Taylor rubbed me the wrong way, and Corinne.

I won't do predictions because I've read the spoilers

Dresses - I liked: Corinne, Danielle L, Danielle M, Raven
Didn't like: Josephine, Taylor, and Christen

Don't mind Nick so far. I think I need a few more episodes to really get a better opinion of him.
I really like Vanessa and Danielle M.
I don't like Corrine and Liz. I feel like they're gonna cause drama.
No predictions for me because I've read spoilers already!

Lmmtravels · January 2017

Love the dress question, @bumpybump. My fave was Rachel's. The detail at the top was very classy.

I'm in complete agreement with your likes and dislikes!

I like that Nick is smart and witty. However, he mumbles too much and seems sceezy to me. I always think he looks like a creepy version of Jason Siegel.

I loved Nick since he was on Andi's season but this is turning into a spectacle and I'm not so much buying it. Because I'm a fan of the show I'm still going to watch lol whether the intentions are good or not. I'm disappointed with this Liz chick...she just wants to be on tv. The attorney seems cool...I'm black so maybe it's me but I've never seen so many black chicks and one got the first impression rose...go The Bachelor lol. I like the nurse for him...Corrine's spice reminds me of a previous feisty one that I loved...the dancer is a no! I also love the special ed teacher. A lot of those dresses were tired...prettiest was a lace whitish...idk I can't remember anything (baby brain...or not). Either way I'm here for it...can't wait till next week!

Lmmtravels · January 2017

@Gia W. I also loved the white-ish lace dress!

lewliv · January 2017

I don't care for Nick either.
Still too early for me to pick favorites but it looks like Corrine will be the villain of this season. The girl has a nanny!
BTW this guy's weekly recap is the best thing ever. I read it every season: https://postgradproblems.com/recap-bachelor-dude-week-1-nick-viall/

PeachyTeachy · January 2017

I LOVE that this thread exists!!
I really dislike Nick and have since Andi's season; which is making me look forward to this season. I feel like Nick is the ex-boyfriend that everyone has had who when you look back and think about it you feel ashamed/skeeved-out that you were attracted to that.

For the first time in show history, I rooting for the people I dislike. With that in mind, I hope he sends home Vanessa, Rachel, and Danielle M. I really want him to end up with Corrine and her nanny.

Cryssteen · January 2017

I hate watch this show religiously and read/listen to the spoilers. (Realitysteve.com) I love Nick. He's such a train wreck. And from what I hear, he thinks he's gods gift to the bachelor franchise. I kinda agree! Mini spoiler, but not really.

**** the lawyer, Rachel, who got the first impression rose, is slottted to possibly be the next bachelorette. Not surprising that he didn't pick her, since they never pick black men or women, but wouldn't that be amazing if they FINALLY, after 31 seasons, have a black lead?******

also, there was a show on Logo this year called "finding Prince Charming" which was a gay version of the bachelor hosted by lance bass. It was really good. I was pretty proud of our country to actually show that finally. Granted it wasn't on a network.

ok this post about the bachelor was totally more political than I thought. Lol.

sgrant432 · January 2017

My favorite thing about this is that we all read spoilers! It makes (to me) watching this show so much better! Thank goodness for RealitySteve! I'm a sucker for the show but know how fake and exaggerated it is.

Your thoughts on Nick? Fake! He has no desire to actually find a wife, just here to advance his career in hollywood.

Fave picks thus far? I like the neonatal ICU nurse. Her hair makes me want to cut mine, but I know my stylist would ask me if I was pregnant if I told her to cut it.

Who don't you like thus far? Corrine and Josephine (weirdo!)

Predictions? But, please, no spoilers! I read spoilers. But I will make some predictions for the bachelorette pick. I really hope that they pick Rachel but I just don't see it happening. With the last few choices for Bach/ette they've been bringing old contestants back from previous shows, so I could see them bringing back Caila for Bachelorette. Thoughts?

bumpybump · January 2017

@Cryssteen I'd say you definitely listed a spoiler in there. For the sake of others, put the word "spoiler" along with the "*****" too. Or just leave spoilers out

lwhrmomma · January 2017

Ah this show is such a train wreck that I just can't stop watching. Lucky for me, DH loves it too haha. With that....

I hated Nick until BIP this summer. He really grew on me with the way he handled Josh. I do think he's on this for fame, but hey... it makes for good TV lol.

Favorites are definitely Vanessa, Rachel, and the NICU nurse.

Couldn't stand Corinne... what 24 year old with a multi million dollar business (daddies business) needs a nanny? Wtf will 36 year old Nick think when he finds out about this? I'd run far far away haha. And Liz was obnoxious about having slept with Nick. I hope he sends her home asap bc she clearly wasn't into him after the wedding since she didn't call him.

No predictions bc I read the spoilers too. Thank goodness for Reality Steve!

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · January 2017

I'm also blah about Nick.. @bumpybump I can't stand the way he talks!! I died laughing when he was giving his speech and could barely pronounce the words correctly.

I also love Vanessa!! She seems so genuine and sweet. Rachel is a class act for sure, **spoiler alert** I'm glad she got the first impression rose. **end spoiler**. There are a few others I like but can't remember their names.. I actually can't imagine meeting 30 women and remembering all of their names after talking to each for 5 minutes.

I can't stand Corinne - did anyone else roll their eyes when she said she was a business owner of a multi-million dollar company?? Umm you mean your DAD's company that you play secretary at. Ugh she annoys me.

bumpybump · January 2017

@secicc12 a "secret" about rose ceremonies is they take HOURS to complete. In this case, Nick would have been saying their names in small batches and then going out and learning more names to remember and repeat. That's one of the reasons it's light outside when the girls are sent home. I can't imagine standing there for that long in those four inch heals and fancy dresses. I'd probably pass out.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · January 2017

@bumpybump THANK YOU! I was wondering why it was light out when they were doing some of the exit interviews. That's so interesting.. poor girls. Shark girl must have been baking in that costume haha.

Yes, and add alcohol which makes it even worse!

budzynb · January 2017

Every season I am so impressed that the guys know all 30 girls names and spot them in a crowd with no breaks!! Ahahaha the world of reality television I guess.

I just have 2 cents about Nick. I really liked him going into BiP after 2 heartbreaks. Did anyone else notice that Jen wasn't mentioned hardly at all during his intro though?! I guess he dumped her after finding out he could get the Bachelor gig. I really liked them together and hate that he hurt her and threw away a great relationship so he could make out with Corinne and a bunch of other 23 y/os......*end rant*

sgrant432 · January 2017

@budzynb agree! He's a 36 y/o man. Why did they cast a bunch of 23/24 y/o women. Just shows to me that neither the show cares about him truly finding love or even him. They could have cast older women to make it look like they were trying to be legit!

je5sc0 · January 2017

Your thoughts on Nick? I haven't watched the show in a longtime so I didn't know him from anything other than BIP and I did like him. Once I watched the intro, he used to look terrible haha and I'm kind of like meh about him.

Fave picks thus far? Both Danielle's. Nail salon owner and NICU nurse. And the special ed teacher, she seemed so sweet.

Who don't you like thus far? Corinne. A nanny? Gtfo.

Predictions? But, please, no spoilers!
I really hope the nicu nurse goes far! "So do you like work in a hospital??" Lol

SweetTooth126 · January 2017

Hi everyone! Haven't posted on the bump this pregnancy but can't help myself with this thread. FYI I don't read spoilers! My hubby's bff was on Andi's season so we are having so much fun watching and promised each other no reality Steve.

Your thoughts on Nick? He bugs me but for some reason I'm still rooting for him.

Fave picks thus far? Nicu nurse, lawyer, salon owner

Who don't you like thus far? Corinne and Liz! They both really rub me the wrong way!

Predictions? But, please, no spoilers! I think the nicu nurse will go far. Raven is my "dark horse" meaning I didn't think she would go far but she is in all the promos so I think they might have something there.

cant wait til next week!

bumpybump · January 2017

@SweetTooth126 good point on the promos/previews. Since I read spoilers I just avoid saying anything about the future episodes at all. But, they gave a lot away in the promos/previews this time.
I'm curious who you know. I have friends that know Chris Soules from college. One of my friends dated his good friend in college and has all these pictures with him from then.

SweetTooth126 · January 2017

@bumpybump his name is Brian. He got eliminated with Dylan. He is the sweetest guy ever! I still can't believe he was on the show.

Without looking him up, was he the teacher and basketball coach? If so, he did seem sweet.

SweetTooth126 · January 2017

@bumpybump yep!

SweetTooth126 · January 2017

Is there going to be a thread this week? I haven't watched but it's on my dvr for tomorrow night!

SouthernMama15 · January 2017

I like Nick better than I did, but something about him is off. Definitely a skeez.

Love Danielle, NICU nurse

Corrine is nuts. From her intro video I was disgusted. Josephine seems nuts

I don't have any predictions so far, but I think it's going to be an interesting season for sure.

Lmmtravels · January 2017

Hey ladies, I don't think I'll be able to start a new thread this week, so if someone wants to fill in, go for it!
