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. I know what a "side piece" is, but dime piece was new to me. Obviously, it's a term used by God-Fearing Christian Virginal folk. 1 Link to comment

NikSac January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Is Sean the "born sexy" guy? Blonde and bland one? Not sure if he's the "born sexy" one (actually I'm pretty sure he wasn't sexy) but I think it was his wedding to Catherine that had the disgusting (IMO and all) Grown Sexy theme. Link to comment
lulee January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 The funny thing about Sean being Mr. super-extra-Christian is that he reminds me so much of Mark Pellegrino who played Lucifer on Supernatural. 1 Link to comment

Tink February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I don't get the whole "grown" thing that a lot of people say. Like "I'm a grown-ass man". What does that mean??? Does it mean something different than just saying "I'm a man"? 1 Link to comment
chocolatine February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 It seems to be part of the franchise vernacular, like "amazing connection" and "right reasons". Link to comment

One of my dream pairings in Bachelor Nation would be Michelle Money & Chris B camera hogging it up YOPO style. Link to comment
Rhondinella February 3, 2015 Author Share February 3, 2015 So, the fact that "Santa Fe" was misspelled in the chyron last night did not go unnoticed by the people who paid the show a lot of money to promote their city. Heh. http://krqe.com/2015/02/03/bachelor-misspells-santa-fe/ 2 Link to comment

Rhondinella February 4, 2015 Author Share February 4, 2015 Heh. I actually wondered that too. I thought, "They aren't really going to get the tourism bump they want if people think it's in another country, possibly on another continent." Link to comment
NikSac February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 I can't believe they actually paid $50k to have the show come there! I do think it might give them a slight tourism bump for anyone with half a brain though. The scenery was gorgeous. It did make me want to visit. Fortunately, I know that no passport is required. 2 Link to comment
Bella February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 I'm not surprised that TB screwed it up, but I am surprised that anyone trusted them not to do so. NikSac, you should go - it's really a very special place. DH and I visit New Mexico every 2 or 3 years and were in Santa Fe a week after the show filmed. There's lots to do, whether you're a sightseer, museum-goer, recreational shopper, hiker, foodie, etc. 2 Link to comment
saber5055 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 Monday night, my local news is playing an interview with Chris and all the b-ettes (six of them?) that came here on a date. I'll try to remember to watch and will post in Spoilers if anything worthwhile happens. Supposedly, the tv interviewer says the favorite for F1 will be revealed. Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. Still, I wish I would have known Chris et. al. were here*. I would have liked to have gone and been a groupie watching. *Iowa, in case anyone wondered where Chris lives. Heh. 1 Link to comment

Yes, women in bikinis parading down the street. And, wedding gowns! Women in wedding gowns competing for a groom!

saber5055 February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 (edited) Our local ABC news affiliate has been interviewing Chris and the b-ettes during their trip to Des Moines. I just caught the end of the interview last night (SNL ran long!), but the newscaster said she's blogging about her time with Chris in Iowa. So I'm searching for the blog and came up with this. It's the "other bachelors of Arlington" calendar! http://wqad.com/2014/12/29/arlington-guys-sell-the-bachelor-inspired-calendar-to-raise-money-for-town/ Okay, here's another link that talks about behind the scenes in Des Moines, the fact they were not allowed to speak with Britt (why?) and that Des Moines coughed up $70,000 to "offset production costs" of filming in that town. And SantE Fe was upset about their tiny $50,000? So, ABC is essentially PAID to produce TB in different locales, and ad money from commercials just goes ... where? No wonder Fleiss can keep this show on the air. http://wqad.com/2015/02/15/go-behind-the-scenes-of-the-bachelor-with-news-8/ Edited February 16, 2015 by saber5055 Link to comment
backformore February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 http://www.people.com/article/bachelor-chris-soules-blog-episode-7?xid=rss-topheadlines Chris's blog on People.comyeah, he has Britt's number: Other than what Carly had said, I had no reason not to believe Britt. However, her extremely over-the-top reaction from earlier was still on my mind. How could she be that excited about Arlington? Was Britt, like Kaitlyn said, molding herself to be who she thought I wanted her to be? Anyway, I couldn't spend my whole night talking to Britt so I moved on. #redflags Britt's reaction to me giving Kaitlyn the rose confused and hurt me, considering the fact she not only received a rose on the last group date, I gave her the rose on a stage with Big & Rich during their concert; something that all of the other girls would have loved to experience. The police sirens going off in the background during that conversation felt like some sort of omen. 1 Link to comment

JenE4 February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 The people of Arlington, Iowa are not pleased with how it was portrayed. They should talk to Sante Fe about their gripes. You gotta love that amongst the "all kinds of things going on" is the many plumbing shops! Whether you get sick or your pipes spring a leak, Arlington is the place to be! “I think they made the town look like there was nothing going on here, when in fact there are all kinds of things going on here,” city clerk Mary Jo Brown said before going through a list of amenities. “We have a library, a bank and a medical clinic. We have a couple plumbing shops, three churches, several parks.” 4 Link to comment
saber5055 February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 See, I told you guys production picked a time to go to Arlington when everything was closed, just so it would look crappy. But city leaders say, most of those businesses weren’t closed for good, they were just closed for the day. Crews shot that scene late afternoon on a Saturday. And TPTB aren't commenting, OF COURSE. Because this show is all manipulated. They wanted a total b-ette breakdown over the one thing Chris says worries him the most, Arlington. Producers of “The Bachelor” producers said they had no comment about the town’s portrayal in the show. The 400 population has to be totally within city limits and does not include the surrounding country families that have Arlington as their address, something that would add hundreds more to the pop. For the town to have a library AND medical center is remarkable. And a bank and three churches. It takes a lot of people to support three churches. And for the plumbers to have shops IS a big deal. In my small town (pop. 1,700) the furnace and plumbing guys work out of their houses. Link to comment
Shibori February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 You're right, Saber5055- the 2010 census has the population for Arlington's zip code (50606) as 885 people. Still small, but enough to support a few small businesses. 1 Link to comment
