Bachelor

it was cool to see that Charlie and Sarah are now living together and doing well. it was kinda cool to see an update on everyone who stayed together. 2 hours though. that sucks.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

I didn't see any of the season with Charlie, but he seemed like he has a good sense of humor. And he didn't use the word "amazing" at any point, at least not in what I remember, which is another plus. "Amazing" is such an over-used word on this show. Susan is a big cheese ball! Or whatever her name is, the actress.

NCshopper · Hermes

I want to wring Susan's neck. I cannot stand that girl! She seems so fake: "I think I'm falling in love with you." BARF!!!!!!! I can't pinpoint what it is about her, but she just doesn't seem like there's a genuine bone in her body. She says just the right thing at just the right time and she just seems fishy to me.

OMG and Sarah and Travis were terribly boring together. I had a hard time watching them kiss. It just seemed like there was such a friend connection going on and there wasn't much of a romantic thing. It just looked awkward.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I do not like Susan or Sarah. Susan is playing him, in my opinion, for fame. There there is Sarah who is just so boring and I dunno, cheesy. Everything out of her mouth is so cheesy!

lol! I have always been SO aggravated by how much they use that word! I really think part of their criteria for accepting applicants is a) small vocabulary and b) poor mastery of first-person pronouns. "I am really excited to see what the night brings to he and I" or "Him and me just had the best date EVER."

And HAHA are y'all watching him struggle w/ the cheese??

I don't like Moana either. She seems too emotionally unstable. She just seems like the psycho type of girl that would just be chasing after him, sobbing, going "I love you! I love you, Travis!" in that crazy-woman type of way.

Haha isn't that requirement to be on this show?

Side note: gag me on him and Susan's convo right now.

I'd love it if she choked on the cheese! I'm surprised she hasn't choked on her own cheese yet!!!

LOL, I get so aggravated with the messed up first person pronouns too! Anyone else like how after he told Susan she was too formal, she first said she'd been trying to be "professional" (gee, there she goes ruining the idea that she wasn't there to further her career), and then she starts swearing and getting bleeped? Ex: "Back in that bleeping chateau." That's certainly formal language.

ETA: Anyone else thing Ryan (of Trista and Ryan) looked bored out of his skull during their interview?

I can't put my finger on it, but I also felt like everything Moana said was written down & memorized........

The bachelor did the smart thing once ever. I can't believe it.

Maddie · Coach

I'm a dissenter on this...I actually like Sarah and I liked Travis on this show. He seems like a nice guy. He might not be an intellectual, but he's smart and I think he treats the girls fairly. He's not one of the ones who tries to play them all. I may just be saying this though because he's SO DAMN HOT! Anyway, while I wouldn't marry him there are a lot worse things you can say about somone other than that they're boring.

I feel the same way about Sarah. She's just so nice, I can't dislike her. However thinking about this now I know a couple girls who are just like her and I can't stand them. They smile and wave so enthusiastically whenever I see them and we're not even friends. I'm pretty sure she would fall into that category if I knew her in real life.

Thank God Susan'e gone. She sucked, obviously.

I think Moana has this in the bag. I feel like they slept together and he didn't even do anything beyond making out with the other girls. He pretty much told her she's the one. Sure she's a little crazy but if forced to hangout with any of them I'd choose her.

sfclinevandy · Coach

I know I'm in the minority but I really like Moana. I think she's just what Travis needs... exotic enough, smart, and always keeps him guessing. She would be a great travel partner and you know she's great in bed. I was even impressed that her parents were skeptical of this (I know mine would be) instead of just smiling and going along with everything like Sarah's.

Sarah is just so lame. I guess because I know her type so well... nice but not too smart; just a little Southern girl who wants her 'MRS' and landing a doctor would be the end all. Don't get me wrong, I was raised in a VERY Southern family but our priorities and personalities are totally different. I think Sarah is ready to be the little wifey and start making babies and driving carpool. Maybe Travis wants that vanilla kind of girl but I think Moana is just so much cooler.

member · Hermes

I honestly don't care who wins at this point, but I think he's going to pick Susan for some reason. She just seems like the "good girl" and the sure thing. I like Moana but I do agree that she's a little emotionally unstable. And thank god he got rid of Miss Fakeness Susan - she was awful. "I'm really falling in love w/you"??? gag me. She's so full of it!

Maybe it was just me, but I actually got the impression that he probably slept w/all of the girls - just the way they were talking...I'm not sure if Sarah would go for that, but I am almost positive that Susan slept w/him.

Hermes

I think he is not that into anyone (but who knows - we only see edited footage) and will pick Vanilla Tennessee as an easy out. He doesn't have to uproot her and can say we can go home, take it slow, and see where it goes (nowhere.)

Hermes

oh and lil miss actress wannabe - that limo scene was such an audition i.e. "see my range" she had the natural passion of a snail when she was with Travis. and the "professional" comment. yes, most women strive to be professional when pursuing someone romantically

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I did think that Moana was what he needed, but I think she seems a little fatal attraction to me. She seemed more grounded this episode and much more real, but who is really real there anyways.

Sarah is who he will pick as an out totally, but he won't propose, and they will break up after the show airs.

It cracks me up to see him so uncomfortable with all the fussiness of things, like he just wants to grab a burger and drink a beer. Funny seeing how he had to go to Paris. He would have been better in NYC, going to basketball games and stuff like that.

exactly what i think, just because it takes no effort to kinda date the girl around the corner...

bumblebee · Coach

yeah, they could have set this show in ohio and it would have been the same thing. it killed me when he and moana were in venice, wandering around a piazza and they both go "yeah, that's a church, too bad we don't know which one"--and then didn't even bother to find out or go inside!!! ack! whoever said before that this show is just reinforcing the stereotype of the "ugly american" abroad, i absolutely agree. how could you be in that gorgeous place and not even care to look at the stuff around you? so sad.

and i like sarah. i think she is who she is and i like that she seems comfortable with herself--she's not putting on a show like the other two. i like him with her, but it's hard to tell if they have only a friend vibe--it's definitely being edited out if they do have some kind of romantic spark. anyway, i hope that's the case--i like travis with her so much more than with moana.

and susan was so funny at the end! i loved how when she got in the car she was all stone-faced and totally blase', and then when she started showing her range for the cameras, she was all hysterical (but controlled-hysterical of course!). i loved how trav broke it to her, too--he's growing on me more and more. he just had to pretend that he was buying her explanation on the mountain so that he wouldn't seem like a jerk for keeping her around for the "fantasy suite" part of the evening, but then at the end it was so obvious that he really didn't believe her all along.

I agree with all of this, but I think detroit is totally right about who he will pick.

He is SO boring. I feel sorry for whoever ends up with him, really.

bumblebee -- do you remember the one where Travis bought them all hamburgers? How cosmopolitan.
