lids May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 This is a first for me... I dislike everyone on this season. It’s the most shockingly dislikeable season ever. I thought that since Hannah was always smiling and giggling she would bring a sense of joy to the season, but so far, everyone seems so lame and unenthusiastic. Also, I have no idea what roll tide means. She was saying it last season and I just thought: oh that’s her jam. Her cultural shout out. But seeing that they had it on a bridge in her hometown, I guess it has significance. I started thinking I had heard it in old westerns, but I think that’s raw hide, so... probably not the same thing. 7 3 Link to comment

Maybe he reverted somewhere over Europe. 10 minutes ago, lids said: Also, I have no idea what roll tide means. Since Alabama's football team is the Crimson Tide, "Roll Tide" is a rally cry, kinda like Kansas' catch phrase is "Rock Chalk Jayhawk." It also can be a greeting or to tell someone goodbye. As in: "Roll tide, Scott." Unfortunately, this season isn't going to Roll Tide until Hannah gets her ring. Edited May 14, 2019 by saber5055 2 Link to comment

Starlight925 May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 (edited) How University of Alabama became known as the Crimson Tide: "Hugh Roberts, former sports editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald, is credited with coining the phrase "Crimson Tide" in an article describing the 1907 Iron Bowl played in Birmingham with Auburn a heavy favorite to win. The game was played in a sea of red mud which stained the Alabama white jerseys crimson." University of Alabama has won 6 National championships and has placed in the top 5 for 25 of the last 29 years. Under Nick Saban, Alabama won 5 of those national championships (Nick Saban was mentioned in that one guy's rap). I went to a competing huge school, and yes, Alabama is a big deal. BTW, I absolutely adore Hannah as The Bachelorette. I was almost going to skip this season, because I thought she was the most bumbling, wordless female on Colton's season, but girl is bringing it. Not only is she breathtaking to look at, but I absolutely loved her take-down of Scott, and her toast (well-rehearsed, I'm sure) was fantastic. I hope she finds love, and I'm here for it!

MakeMeLaugh May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 I’m in. She’s confident and nice and didn’t go all “boohoo it’s so hard to send people home” at the rose ceremony. The guys all seem gaga over her. Hope it will be fun. Sorta liked that the fake bffs spilled the fake beans to Hannah on Scott’s having a girlfriend only because it might keep the tiresome tattletale plot-line at bay, where a little fake clique self-righteously feels the need to expose other contestants’ wrong-reason shenanigans to the lead. I heard her say “nailed it” a couple of times—maybe Hannah has two catch phrases! We’ll have quite the drinking game this season! 6 Link to comment

JudyObscure May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 (edited) Well, I'm glad Hannah has 30 men and a lot of people here who find her stunningly beautiful, because I just can't get over why the powers that be chose a woman who walks hunched forward like it's her first time in heels, clutches her arms across her chest like a preteen with brand new boobs, has a smile so forced her whole face wrinkles and strains from the effort, and has the tiny eyes and huge jaw of a pit bull. "There's no accounting for taste, " is a real thing. I also question her sudden ability to talk. How is it that the same woman who couldn't think of a toast can now make a long speech about how hurtful it is to herself and others for someone to come on this show when he already has a girlfriend at home! I'll be watching for evidence of cue cards. It looks like a good season though, we'll have highland games and ambulances to look forward to! Edited May 14, 2019 by JudyObscure 2 7 Link to comment
JenE4 May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 Welcome back, gang! I was too tired to post last night...and now I forgot everything I was going to say. Mike is my favorite. He’s sweet to his great-grandma, has an actual job (in finance of some type), and seems to have a high EQ to go along with his high IQ. I liked Connor —the tall one, also in finance—if I were picking someone for my nearly 23-year-old daughter (who, coincidentally is also in finance). But as for the guys I could relate to the most personally, would have to go with the gaggle of guys poised behind the fence, drinks in hand, commenting on everyone’s arrival. I cant believe Hannah wasted an hour on Scott! That’s ridiculous! Ok, so the producers are going to make you film a scene confronting him, fine. But no need to drag it out—and then spend time moping poolside. You talked to him for 5 minutes and have 29 other dudes in there! It’s not like you’re three-quarters into the season and are falling for the guy. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, and go grab another guy to talk to! So glad the Box King went home. If I heard “box” one more time...though the best scene of the night was Harrison sweeping up those packing peanuts. John Paul Jones, professional John Paul Jones, is this year’s Kalon, and I can’t wait to see what ridiculous snark he’s going to bring. So, we can’t even call him JPJ? 1 8 Link to comment

She points out that he has a girlfriend, and he deflects back to her that she "did the same thing" with Colton, forcing her to go into defensive mode, removing the attention from his lying a**. I was proud of her for not only standing up for herself, but for what she said, and how articulately she said it. Not just to him, but to the rest of the guys too. Proving that she's not just some "sweet pageant girl", but a girl who demands honesty and respect. Girls like her, who lived life in a pageant/dance/recital bubble, can often be taken advantage of later in life, with their pasted-on smiles on Vaseline-soaked teeth. So far, Hannah is showing that yes, that was a huge part of her life, but this is now. I like that she owns up to the fact that she's not perfect. I know it's a silly thing, but I can't stand all my Facebook friends who went on to do pageants and are now in their 40's, 50's, and yes, even beyond, still posing, Botoxing beyond recognition, still plugging their "perfect" life. Hannah is showing years of maturity in recognizing that she put on "pageant perfection" for years, but that, as a person, she has flaws, and she expects her guys to have flaws, so let's have fun and get to know each other, as real people. She really impressed me last night. And I've really detested several Bachelorettes: Andi, DeAnna, Emily (too fake-looking and stiff).

If I were him, I would have spent time showing her how to say things like I Love You and Marry me in sign. That would have been cute.

Plus the whole thing with the great-grandma in terms of her being "the first person I fell in love with", was just too slick (and a little sick as well). I get that it was trying to be clever, with trying to make us think that he was saying goodbye to an old girlfriend before leaving for the show, but the wording was a little icky. 3 hours ago, JenE4 said: John Paul Jones, professional John Paul Jones, is this year’s Kalon, and I can’t wait to see what ridiculous snark he’s going to bring.

She reminds me of the time on "Designing Women," when some little girl asked Susanne Sugarbaker if she was the prettiest woman in the whole wide world, and Suzanne answered, "I like to think so!" Exactly what I’ve seen with pageant girls. I know there are exceptions, but they’re not typically sweet girls unaware of their looks who wind up competing. They are usually girls who are extremely competitive and every bit aware of their beauty. All the ones I’ve known brag about every crown, even if it’s far from an impressive title. I agree that if a girl is that insecure about her looks, no way would she enter a beauty pageant. The most beautiful women have insecurities, but you have to think you are a pretty attractive person to enter a competition based on looks where you probably also have to parade around in a swimsuit in front of a bunch of people. So many girls watching the show can only dream to be as insecure as Hannah. It can be endearing when someone beautiful admits to insecurities, but I don’t think the typical girl is going to feel to sorry for someone whose insecurity is maybe not always being the prettiest girl in the room her whole life-that’s more of a pageant girl thing imo. Poor me, I may not be the prettiest princess according to the judges! I think that ego and competitive nature is seen in a lot of the contestants on these shows-feeling more entitled to someone’s time than the next person, being shocked someone could possibly dump you. That goes for the guys competing on The Bachelorette as well. 6 Link to comment

LOL What I'm liking about Hannah so far is that she sticks up for herself and isn't going to let these guys get away with taking her for some "stupid pageant girl". That world is ruthless, and it looks like she's grown/growing out of it. She has a viable job now, getting into interior decorating, and yes, she has a huge smile, but that's just the anatomy of her face. My face is like that too.....millions of teeth. It's like I can't smile halfway. Every picture of me is 99% teeth. I enjoyed her interactions with the little girls in the dance studio. So cute! I am not all la-la-la about this show.

Girls like her, who lived life in a pageant/dance/recital bubble, can often be taken advantage of later in life, with their pasted-on smiles on Vaseline-soaked teeth. So far, Hannah is showing that yes, that was a huge part of her life, but this is now. I like that she owns up to the fact that she's not perfect. I know it's a silly thing, but I can't stand all my Facebook friends who went on to do pageants and are now in their 40's, 50's, and yes, even beyond, still posing, Botoxing beyond recognition, still plugging their "perfect" life. Hannah is showing years of maturity in recognizing that she put on "pageant perfection" for years, but that, as a person, she has flaws, and she expects her guys to have flaws, so let's have fun and get to know each other, as real people. She really impressed me last night. And I've really detested several Bachelorettes: Andi, DeAnna, Emily (too fake-looking and stiff). Is it bad that I had schadenfreude when Andi showed up at the Bachelorette reunion as the only single girl? I see nothing wrong with you getting a chuckle if you don’t like Andi and are amused that her life isn’t going well. But I don’t thing singlehood or couplehood is a measure of success or happiness. 11 Link to comment
