The Bachelor Women Tell All

honey · Gucci

yeah the ladies this time around showed no mercy. i think jennifer secretly hopes that the bachelor & the person he picks will break up and then she'll be able to date him. seriously, i can't think of any other explanation for her behaviour. it's not like she had any real connection with him.

the show actually made me appreciate travis a lot more. i really liked the way he handled the ali g topic, and loved the dorky out-takes. but then again i think dorky behavior in guys is so adorable.

also them switching stories on moana...i think they just did the 180 b/c susan was the first, and the rest of the coven didn't want to look like the petty bitches they are.

Yeah, they were pretty hard on Susan - heaven forbid I should take up for her. But they were ruthless.

The outtakes made me like him more too - he wasn't as much of a robot. And I thought he was really respectful to everyone - I think he's genuine, but admittedly that doesn't make for great TV for this show. And I loved that he told that silly girl that did that teeth thing that he had a friend that loves her.

I really am surprised that ali g didn't show - i guess she figured it would do her more harm than good? I think i'd rather be there to defend myself, surely she knew they'd talk about her. Of course, i can't imagine what defense she'd use.....

Yeah, I thought Travis was pretty classy, not that I can say the same for most of the girls. And I too liked the goofy outtakes, it made me like Travis a lot more. I can't believe how many girls go on the show and get totally drunk, like Sarah from Canada!!! I mean she didn't even remember half of the camping trip!

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

Those girls were very hard on each other! Especially that one who was a model from Boston, the one who got eliminated after the camping trip. She was yelling at *everyone.* OK, he didn't pick you -- get over it!

I was pleasantly surprised to see Susan admitted she'd been catty to someone because she was jealous. It was an honest answer.

This show was pretty sweet, though I had a different interpretation.

I though Jennifer was hilarious and I could totally see myself being like that. I saw it as more of an I'm-so-over-this-I-can-just-say-whatever-the-hell-I-want-cause-some-of-you-need-to-hear-it sort of thing. I don't at all think it was cause she's still pining for Travis. Personally I'm kind of a nervous talker and could see my brash side coming out in a situation like that. Although I would undoubtedly look back and be embarassed. But I thought she was right on about a lot of stuff.

Also I think they edited it to look a lot more brutal. The comments were so rapid fire, there's no way people could've talked that quickly after each other and a slower progression would make it seem less harsh. Even still I don't feel bad for Susan. Maybe she shouldn't have been so soulless. And they all they brought up excellent points.

I liked how they all changed their minds about Moana. Whether or not it will last I think she and Travis have a pretty strong and obvious connection that they felt they couldn't compete with. It's so obvious when they couldn't bring up anything concrete they didn't like her for. I'm glad Susan admitted it and started the chain.

Travis was great. Overall an awesome hour of television.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

This was great! I think this is the first bachelor show that I have actually watched all the episodes, might be because I have really become a homebody. But anyhow I really liked how Travis acted! I also liked the outtakes because I could actually see a little small connection between him and Sarah from TN. They always showed it so onesided and I thought they seemed cute together, although I don't think he winds up with any of them. I also thought it was hilarious about Sarah from Canada, that she got cut because on their date she got so drunk she blacked out??? How embarassing!

Also who thought Tara had a few before the show?? She always seems a little tipsy!

Ewww I hate Tara - she was such a psycho on the show and yeah, she always appears to be out of it, but I think that's just her and her sucky personality

killa · Dooney & Bourke

Ok. I was on the phone through most of it. Admittedly, I turned it on just to see what these bitches were wearing! ha ha

So, I missed a lot of what the girls were saying to Susan. She was crying pretty good -- what did they say about her?

Travis is so freaking hot.

They were basically saying that she was there for the wrong reasons, etc. I think the worst part was when she was trying to explain herself at the beginning and a bunch of them just started snickering at her speech.

This episode didn't make me like Travis any more, but I guess he was pretty classy. He is so dull, though. I am even more convinced now that he's going to pick Sarah.

ITA Halleybird - I don't get the appeal of Travis at all..I think he's just as dull as Susan, which is why they are perfect together

I haaaaaated Susan and thought she was so obviously in it to get noticed, but I thought people went overboard on her last night. She got eliminated - get over it! That Tara sucks - she was always ruining other people's dates. Sarah from Canada... just not attractive. And I love how on every "bachelor tells all" there is one woman who got eliminated early on who acts like she knows it all. This year it was that chick who looks like a dark-haired version of Reese W's manicurist from legally blonde. Yeesh.

Man that Shiloh had awful skin and badly matched foundation. She needs to get herself to a makeup counter for a makeover, stat.

Travis has good bone structure and all, but for a doctor he's a bit of a moron. Way to butcher every possible language (both french and italian.... people who say "grazie like "gratz-ee" piss me off). He is a little blah, but on the other hand I like his outdoorsiness. But he's not my type. He probably likes bad music (esp judging from the bad dancing in the clips). And why did his house look like someone's grandmother decorated it?

I am a big fan of Moana's style, but not sure I want her to win. Travis is sort of generic for her. I am not saying I am her biggest fan, but at least she seems sort of interesting and cultured. And I liked how she didn't play the game of kissing up to the other girls. Who gives a shit about those bitches, anyway? They're clearly not her people (or mine). Her jewelry kicks ass.

I don't have much of an opinion on Sarah - I know a gazillion girls like her in Richmond, just nice, somewhat small-townish girls, a little judgmental of people who are different. Whatever.
