FireFoxy January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 Andi did the breaking up?! I am surprised since she seems so intent to riding the famewhoe train. I do believe she thinks she can do better too. She probably will find a guy with a good career and that's good looking in Atlanta. She's a big fish in a small pond. Good luck to whoever he is. Her bff Kelly found a rich guy in Atlanta but he's hideous so she may have to settle for one or the other. I'm kind of glad Chris and Des are so lowkey. The franchise does ignore them a little but they were on the stupid Rose Parade float. I bet Fleiss now wishes they would've been the ones to be on the red carpet on Monday since they are actually in love and getting married in a few weeks. I don't see Josh as The Bachelor. He is cute but to me he doesn't have the charisma. But who am I kidding? Neither did Ben, Jake, Juan Pablo, Chris and many of them. 3 Link to comment
truthaboutluv January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 Honestly, I've never found any of the Bachelors appealing or attractive so Josh would fit right in with the rest of them if he does do it. I mean I only watch the show for the embarrassment from the women more than anything else. 3 Link to comment
jmonkey January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 (edited) My conspiracy theory is that Andi and Josh broke up prior to the live red carpet event, but it was after they had already contractually agreed to make the appearance as a couple. I gotta believe they (and everyone who attended) were paid to attend this craptacular event, and Fleiss didn't want them to attend alone because he wanted to parade out as many successful couples on the red carpet to be interviewed as possible. I believe Andi and Josh benefited more monetarily from doing the interview together than they would have if Andi or Josh would've attended solo. TPTB still want to paint the picture that this Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise process works even though the statistics certainly don't back that up. These shows are successful at hooking people up, but they have a terrible track record of producing couples who last, which is supposedly the unrealistic premise of the show. Andi has always been a company gal who has followed production's orders flawlessly, so she put on her acting shoes and faked affection with Josh and those back rubs were a way of getting through what must have been an awkward interview. Josh was clearly uncomfortable doing that, but it's old hat for Grumpy Cat at this point. If she had gone on to the red carpet alone a la Nikki, she would've been given the similar crappy treatment by Chris H. and she didn't want to do that. So she put on a facade and soldiered through it. I sheepishly admit that I used to love Andi and thought she had her stuff together. The more I look at it now, I really respect the way Juan Pablo played the game. He was a douche at the time, but at least you could tell he was his own man and was being genuine. Like Eric (RIP) said, Andi seemed to be acting the entire time. I agree. She's been acting since Juan Pablo's season (i.e. the "it's okay" argument was her audition for The Bachelorette) and that, in addition to her blatant rudeness to Nick, hasn't done herself any favors with fans. And now this Grumpy Cat will be in Fleiss's doghouse. Josh will be fine, and Andi will be fine after playing the victim first. Hopefully she has learned to take the high road from watching Nikki. She shouldn't bad mouth Josh at all. Edited January 9, 2015 by jmonkey 2 Link to comment
Wings January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 I agree completely. Nice to see others who share my negative feelings about Andi. It sounds like she was the one who did the breaking up, but hopefully Josh is okay with it. I agree that he seems like a great guy. Their little "we're still thinking of marriage" charade on Monday was weird to me because CH could have said "hi" and ignored them like he ignores couples like Chris and Des, but maybe they agreed to hype the new season before breaking up (two days later...you know it probably happened weeks ago. Even more creepy all that back rubbing!) I wouldn't be surprised if, with all the attention she's gotten, Andi feels she can do a lot better than Josh (more ambitious, bigger career, etc.) I disagree, but I'm convinced that -he- can do a lot better. I did notice how his eyes lit up when they said Chris had 30 women to choose from, so I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back as the next Bachelor. (Not a bad choice, either, imo.) I think he is a genuine good man and I would love to see him be the Bachelor. I think there are many of us out there who agree with our take on Andi. 1 Link to comment
KR Vermont January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 I liked Nick V. and we were shown lots of chemistry with Andi, but I honestly didn't think she'd choose him over Josh when seeing/hearing about how much her father loves Josh's pro football-playing brother and their family pedigree, cut from similar cloth so to speak. Comparatively, Nick was some skinny, Northern smart-ass type who ran track (albeit very successful, it's not Georgia football). Maybe Andi was enamored with thoughts of living the Atlanta power couple fairy tale with real-man Josh, but something changed and may eventually come out--but how many will care. 1 Link to comment

saber5055 January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Yes, true. There was a debate at TWOP about whether Sean was wearing trunks/pants in the shower. It was shown as the final scene, the one that's suppose to be funny after credits roll. It was just stripper music playing while Sean lathered up and rinsed off, rinse, repeat. I read something from Sean later (I posted link at TWOP) that he was indeed naked but the camera woman being a lesbian made it okay for her to be in the shower stall with him. Link to comment

Zahdii January 16, 2015 Share January 16, 2015 (edited) Jimmy Kimmel discussed 'The Bachelor' again tonight and showed some clips of the upcoming show. I waited in vain for someone to post them to You Tube (because I don't know how), but alas, nothing yet. Instead I found two different articles about what's coming up next. This one here gives some hints about the day in general. In brief, Jimmy wakes Chris and spends the whole day with him, 'planning' and going on both a one-on-one and a group date, asks a lot of questions that neither bachelor Chris or host Chris would ask (at least not until after the finale), and generally spends the day spoofing the show. And here is a still from a Chris and Jimmy 'bonding session'. Darn, I can't figure out how to paste just the photo in. Feel free to give it a shot, it's hilarious.

He visits him in his one on one date with Kaitlin. He asks Kaitlin how she would feel if after they were home watching the show together she finds out he has slept with everyone in the FS. She said that would be OK, you have to test a car before you buy it. Kimmel said well, it doesn't get better than that or something to the effect. It was funny.

Alapaki January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 Looks like Josh's family is trimming all the fat. His quarterback brother just dumped his trophy girl. 1 Link to comment
MsPH January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 What a strange family. There was clearly some rift going on between Josh and his family around the time of his brother's engagement, but then during the holidays they were all hanging together with the fiancés like a big happy family. Now less than a month later both boys are back on the market. Link to comment
truthaboutluv January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 (edited) Wow..okay then. And yeah, with Josh and Andi's breakup, I'm definitely inclined to believe that gossip late last year that the family didn't like her and then the whole thing of her and Josh not congratulating the brother and his fiance publicly. Honestly, as much as I can't stand Andi, I will say, the biggest thing that gave me pause a few weeks after her season ended, was reading this 25 Things You Don't Know about Josh article in US Weekly where it stated that he'd never had a girlfriend period. That confused me because all during the season, the story he sold was that he'd just not had a girlfriend in 5 years but the article made it appear that Josh had never had a girlfriend/serious relationship in his life. And this is an attractive guy with a solid job - that just seemed really strange and made me wonder what was wrong with Josh. It also definitely made me question him and Andi lasting because how does one go from not being able to have one solid relationship ever, at 30, to being completely ready for marriage to a woman he'd spent at best a handful of hours with. With the brother's breakup, I'm also really starting to wonder about all those warning sings posters mentioned during Josh's hometown visit, where many felt the family came across as very you're either all in 100% or not. I think even Andi made some comments about that. There was also an article floating around stating that part of the reason Andi and Josh ended was because they were both trying to control the relationship and butted heads a lot. The funniest part was reading how apparently Josh tried to end the relationship many times a lot sooner but Andi stubbornly wouldn't let him. I have to say, watching them during Andi's season, I could buy that. Seriously, a great perspective of how these two came across at times was Sharleen's blog recaps where she even mentioned how they constantly seemed like they were fighting for dominance in the conversations. This is why again, much as I can't stand Andi, if the rumors are true of why they ended, I can't feel too bad for Josh because he did know who she was. I even remember during the F3 episode Andi told him she was difficult and that he thinks he could handle her now but he might not say that later. And he was all "no...no" because Josh, feelings for Andi aside, was just as competitive as the other guys there and wanted to win. Well, as Maya Angelou said, "when a person tells you who they are, believe them." Edited January 20, 2015 by truthaboutluv 3 Link to comment
backformore January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 Saturday night live did a pretty accurate Bachelor skit with Blake Shelton as the FARMHUNK.

Devoting your life to team booster-club activity is fine if that's what you're into, but it shouldn't be mandatory for anyone else. Added to that, I always expected that Josh wasn't as unconcerned as he acted about Andi and Nick doing "fiancé things" in the fantasy suite. 2 Link to comment

Yes, while a spoof of The Bachelorette would have had Blake and others as "the bachelors" doing lots of "bro" activities with increasing machismo (drinking, bowling, video games, a firing range, etc.) while the Bachelorette (think: Deanna, for example) increasingly desperately tries to attract their attention in every way she can! I thought Blake Shelton's acting as The Bachelor was very good--and very much in the bland, earnest, always polite ("So, tell me about yourself!") style that we've grown so accustomed to! 3 Link to comment

Wings January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 (edited) If you read this paragraph from the article carefully you see the price of the earrings are not mentioned. It is deceiving whether on purpose by mistake. The talk abou the borrowed necklaces and bracelet. "So how much did those earrings actually cost? Well each strand was set with 25 carats for a price of $100,000. And that’s not all the bling Jade wore. She also paired her gown with a diamond strand necklace set with 50 carats of round brilliant stones — a retail price of $350,000. And a diamond-and-platinum 50-carat bracelet, which had the heftiest price tag — $550,000. For those of you who are good at math, that’s a total carat count of 125 — and $1 million worth of jewels!"

I thought that would have been George Clooney or someone like that. The book's marketing team may have used stories like this one from EOnline: http://www.eonline.com/photos/14632/the-official-ranking-of-the-best-and-worst-bachelors-of-all-time/ I love how he bemoans that being "stuck looking like a blong haired, 6' 3" fitness model" This particular line was written by the Washington Post book reviewer. I liked the gist that Sean's painful earnestness allows for almost no sense of irony in his makeup. Link to comment
saber5055 January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Wings707: Thanks for the definition of dime piece. I didn't think until later to go to Urban Dictionary, then was sort of afraid to. Heh.
