Bachelorette

[soleil]

http://a.abc.com/primetime/bachelorette/images/gallery/meredith/240x360_meredith_1.jpg

I know this is just another reality show.
But, I just finished watching it and I must say that I like the Bachelorette much better than the Bachelor. I wasn't sure if I'd like Meredith as the bachelorette, but so far I'm not annoyed.
My fave part are the eliminations when she whispers 'will you accept this rose' and they also whisper back to her 'yes'.
Anyone watch this show? Any favorites?
So far it looks like she's really liking Rick.

[weedy_gonzalez]

that girl is pretty :D

[Juliana]

:rolleyes:
I don´t like reality shows....Brazil has Big Brother...But it sucks :P
It´s a bad show

[el_scorcho]

That show already started? SHOOT :angry: I forgot to watch it...

Meredith was my favorite on the Bachelor and when Bob kicked her off I was soooooo mad. :smug:

[blangy]

is this the second "season" of this show??

cause here they're gonna pass it on tv but it's a different bachelorette :idea2:

anyways i like this shows speciallythe eliminations :wink3:

[soleil]

this is the second season of the Bachelorette. But I think there have already been around 4 seasons of the Bachelor. I'm not sure.
I looove the eliminations! I love how they have to prolong the last rose. And the host guy always has to come out and say, 'this is the last rose', then leave. So obvious! We can see there's only one choice left!

Which season are they showing there blangy? The one with Trista?

[musiclover]

nah..i'm not into it, nor the male counterpart to it. i did see the one where they had that really really sex looking girl (black hair, big blue eyes) with two of her friends helping her along in getting rid of guys until only 2 remained...

i kinda got some pointers from that show as to 'what women like/dislike' in a guy, etc.

anything helps for a guy like me who nobody dates! :lol:

[soleil]

i don't like bachelor. the girls are too catty.

[musiclover]

no time to watch these shows, as such

[soleil]

eh.

thanks for making me feel like a loser

:P

jk

i should watch more pbs

[musiclover]

hey! i'm the loser, if anyone. i don't catch the trends ('cuz of not watching the hit tv shows...i watch other stupid shows) when they're happening. then i wonder what is it that's making some guys tick with girls....they get to go on dates every weekend while i'm sulking... :rolleyes:


watching more pbs...hmm....you don't wanna be more like me, do ya? :lol: :lol:

[soleil]

dude, i already watch pbs. it's sad. :dozey:

:lol:

[musiclover]

:lol: :lol: hey...be happy in what you are, i say :smug:

i love watching pbs, though some shows are just too pathetic to watch, even for me! :D

[soleil]

haha

this thread is going to change to an educational learning tv thread!
nova's the best!

:cool:

[musiclover]

oh i just remembered...that other show was called 'Cupid', and i liked the girl in that show...she was kinda sexy and beautiful.

[soleil]

ah yes, Cupid. I watched that too.

:embarrased:

kidding.

not really embarrassed

that one dude was funny! :rolleyes: i forget his name. the psycho guy.

[musiclover]

oh...the guy from germany? he WAS a psycho... :stunned: but i was kinda rooting for him. :lol: just to see how it'd be. that's what all of america was doing too, i guess, 'cuz he ended up being one of 2 guys in the end...

[Hicksy]

:o

[musiclover]

[Hicksy]

i dunno

:idea2:

[musiclover]

[musiclover]

[Hicksy]

[musiclover]

<>

[musiclover]

i dunno how u look :P

<<< looks stupid, is stupid!

[blangy]

Which season are they showing there blangy? The one with Trista?

i think it hasn't started but i've seen the previews and it's the one with a blond girl :/

[soleil]

It's probably Trista then. Does she have a baby voice?

:lol:

Is she small and petite?

[el_scorcho]

Is she really, REALLY annoying? :stunned:

[soleil]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Gaby!

I saw about 10 minutes of the show last night, and though I don't usually like the romantically inclined reality programs, I did like Meredith and for a moment felt jealous of those guys ... getting to spend time with her and all. She's awfully kind of the eye.

But I did change it, in the end. I'm more a Real World/Road Rules guy. That's about the end of my reality preferences.

[rf_ucsd]

eh.

thanks for making me feel like a loser

:P

jk

i should watch more pbs

I watch those shows, and I don't have a ton of time ...
and I'm not more a loser than you are, Gaby, and you're not a loser.

The only shows I watch on TV on a regular basis:
Jim Lehrer News Hour
South Park
Chappelle's Show
Real World
Road Rules
Real World/Road Rules Challenge

Other than that, it's only news, movies, music and sports.

[soleil]

Heeeeello!

Yeah, I don't have cable. End of story.

:(

Wish I did though.

[rf_ucsd]

Heeeeello!

Yeah, I don't have cable. End of story.

:(

Wish I did though.

Actually, when I was your age (long, long ago) I didn't have cable either.
But now, years later, I have more $ and can get it.
Have faith, grasshoppah.

[el_scorcho]

I didn't have cable up until a year ago when we got a new tv and my dad figured that we should have something to watch on it. :dozey:

[soleil]

Haha, you're only 26 Richard!

There's only a 3 year difference!
But yes, I will have faith!

[rf_ucsd]

Haha, you're only 26 Richard!

There's only a 3 year difference!
But yes, I will have faith!

Este es verdad, pero ...

When I was 23 I didn't have cable, I didn't have a surfboard, I didn't have a car, and I didn't have the means by which to drink $100 shots of tequila every nice. I only had a BMW, not a Mercedes. I had only one maid to rub my feet at night; not the two, 5'10", blonde Swedish maid I have now.

Yes, life was different.

[soleil]

So you mean, you had $100 shots of tequila tonight?
:wink3: :wink3:

jk

I just noticed that you went on a break and I still have less posts! I guess I just have less to say!
:smug:

[rf_ucsd]

Yeah, but you have the better avatar.

[soleil]

:/

Don't say that

[gvargas]

^She is beating me!! :cry: What's up with that?

[rf_ucsd]

She's got skillz, yo ... and possibly slightly more time to devote to the board.
Not everybody can be like Gaby and myself .. posting from work all the time.

[Leaver]

and it's the one with a blond girl

what's wrong with blond girls :confused:

[musiclover]

Heeeeello!

Yeah, I don't have cable. End of story.

:(

Wish I did though.


No cable in my apt, either. :/ But I don't miss it too much anymore. PBS...I watch it far too often then I realize it myself, I guess. And yep, Nova rocks! Oh, and I totally love almost all the movies that Ken Burns makes, specially the 5-part seres on Civil War. :smug:

But also love some of the Brit-coms! :lol:

Keeping Up Appearances
Open All Hours
Are you being Served?
Thin Blue Line
Mr. Bean
....that show starring Dame Judi Dench
'Allo, 'Allo (this is sooo hillarious!)

[el_scorcho]

Thumbs up for Mr Bean :smug:

[musiclover]

:cool: hi Jess. what happened to the cute rainbow brite? :confused:

[blangy]

It's probably Trista then. Does she have a baby voice?

:lol:

Is she small and petite?


they're showing the first episode next tuesday so then i can tell you :wink3:

[blangy]

what's wrong with blond girls :confused:


i didn't say sth was wrong with it :sneaky:

I like Keeping Up Appearances.
Mrs. Bucket's got some probs.
Now the question is : do they really air that show in the UK?

[musiclover]

nope, I don't think they air that over there anymore. I think it's from the 1980's, but I may be wrong.

[soleil]

^ oohh.. I didn't know that. :idea2:

[soleil]

First off, I don't know why I'm bringing this back, but we'll see where this goes.

Updates:

Rick has been eliminated. I couldn't figure out if that dude was ever lying or not. :confused:

So is it going to be bachelor #1:
http://a.abc.com/primetime/bachelorette/images/bios/bio_Ian2.jpg
Ian

bachelor #2:

http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelorette/images/bios/bio_Matthew.jpg
Matthew

or bachelor #3:
http://a.abc.com/primetime/bachelorette/images/bios/bio_Lanny2.jpg
Lanny

or some other underdog?

:lol:

[rf_ucsd]

Wow ... no good looking guys this year, huh?

[soleil]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They're actually not that bad compared to the other episodes!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm rooting for quiet financial advisor Ian!
Matthew doesn't seem that bad either, but we'll have to see how that progresses.
:wink3:

[rf_ucsd]

Acually, I was being sarcastic.
They're all very handsome.
I suddenly have some adequacy issues.

[soleil]

:lol:

Yeah, I'm no Meredith!

[rf_ucsd]

I'm sure you have many redeeming qualities.
No use referencing her.

She's nice and nice looking and all, but that's only part of the equation.
Does she liberally use profanity?
Probably not.
Does she have in interest in neurosciences?
Not.
Does she have a concept of transcription beyond something a secretary does for a boss?
Doubtful.

See. She's chop livah! :lol:

[soleil]

I had to go waaaaay back to find this thing! :lol:

Just in case anyone was curious....

Yeah!!!!! Ian proposed!

Woohoo!!! :cool:

I never knew he was brazilian and could speak portuguese! She made a good choice!

:D

[rf_ucsd]

What a tool Ian is!
Proposed?

OK, over under on when they break up (for the first time): 6 months?

[soleil]

The last couple got married. :smug:
But Ian didn't want to propose in the first place, so who knows... if it doesn't last, I give it a month.

[rf_ucsd]

So either one month ...

... or forever?

[soleil]

Yes. :smug:

[rf_ucsd]

I can see how that makes sense.
Marriage .... (shivers)

[soleil]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I can see someone has intimacy problems.. :lol: :P

[rf_ucsd]

My main intimacy problem is that I like being on my own.
Second intimacy problem: don't have somebody who can offer an alternative.

[soleil]

I was just kidding. I'm far from marriage myself.
I can understand someone getting used to living on their own.

[rf_ucsd]

Eh ... I've been living alone for a while. I'm used to it. It's cool.

[soleil]

I can see if I decided to live on my own getting used to it and not wanting anyone to move in. I can be picky sometimes..

[rf_ucsd]

But what would Gisi do w/o you around? No, you can't do that!

[soleil]

:lol:
I know.. she can't live without me. Actually, she's probably the only one who I can stand and who can stand me. :P

[rf_ucsd]

Weirdos :P

[soleil]

See? We're both weirdos who can stand one another. We're two of a kind.
We understand one another. We get into fights, but at least we understand one another. :cool:

[rf_ucsd]

See ... I don't think either of you are weird at all.
Of course, neither do you.

I'm sure that you would be a fine roommate for any number of people.

[soleil]

Maybe... maybe not. I think it really would depend on the person.

I know my sister has had problems in the past.

[rf_ucsd]

I've had problems in the past, too.
But then again, I'm not you or your sister.
I would think you two would be more apt to get along with people than I am.
You tend to have a weird power over people and she has her monthly thingermabob.

[soleil]

Weird power over people. Interesting. I wonder what that power is.
For some reason, I am reminded of when we fight in public... And always.. ALWAYS... there is always someone there to but in or talk to us when we're fighting. Maybe our personalities just invite people to come to us..

Monthly thingamabob. :) :lol:

[rf_ucsd]

You know what that power is (remember the conversation last night).

Hey: Do you think people read these threads we engage in? If so, what do you think they're thinking?

[soleil]

Yeah. I've always wondered if people read them. I'm sure some of them do. Probably if they're bored enough. They probably think we go - off topic way too much. They probably have no idea of what we're talking about.

[rf_ucsd]

Yeah ... a lot of our allusions are getting a little inside ... which is kewl.
I wonder, though, if people are starting to at least understand the jist of them, though.

[soleil]

Inside, yes. I think it was scaring people, but I can't tell. If so, they'll just have to deal.
And do they understand the jist? I don't know, maybe we should ask.



That's probably a reeeeeaaaaaaallly bad idea. :stunned:

[rf_ucsd]

Do we care?

[soleil]

No. I've noticed that no one ever enters a thread once we take over it. I wonder why?

:huh:

Participation people!!

[rf_ucsd]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... :)

I like it when were can have a little PM thing going AND get posts for it :P

[soleil]

:)
Yeah, that's cool.
I like multi-tasking. Even thought I'm not as good as it as you are. :D
Ah man, I'm almost to 4K!! And you're almost to 5K! Damn!!! Dude? When did you do that? :cool:

[rf_ucsd]

5K?

I'm not proud of it.
I'm on all the lists now :(

[soleil]

You know you want to be on all the lists or else you wouldn't be here. :sneaky:

[rf_ucsd]

I don't want to be on any of the lists.
I just want to post and talk to people.

[soleil]

Yeah, but unfortunately your love of the board will reflect in those lists.

[soleil]

Aha! You just made it!
:D

[rf_ucsd]

My love of my new friend/friends more likely.

[soleil]

Yes, exactly.

:)

[girlstar]

Woah, Richo has more posts than me! I'm falling behind...DANG.

[soleil]

Yeah, he's definitely making it up there!!
:D

[rf_ucsd]

Woah, Richo has more posts than me! I'm falling behind...DANG.

Sowee , Julia.

I wish I could give you a bunch of mine! You deserve them more than me!

[rf_ucsd]

Yeah, he's definitely making it up there!!
:D

Ha


ha


ha

[el_scorcho]

She chose Ian??????? Nooooo she had incredible chemistry with Matt. :(

[soleil]

I thought she had incredible chemistry with Matt, but I also saw that she really seemed to fall in love with Ian. He seemed like a laid back cool dude to me.. :/

[rf_ucsd]

The highlights I saw of the saw seems to show whatshername getting somewhat involved in the show to the point of trying to fall in love with at least one of the guys.

Then again, I didn't watch the show so that opinion would should probably be disregarded.

[el_scorcho]

I only watched the last 2 episodes but from what I saw, she and Matt seemed to click really well. :P

[soleil]

They did a reunion episode today. It was really awkward. I hate the fact that they bring the guy who was dumped back to talk to the couple. But do I watch it anyways.. Yes. :rolleyes:

[rf_ucsd]

Wow ... you're a meanee.

The Apprentice is two hours away for me ... I'm debating if I should turn it to Friends at 8. Oh, the tough decisions in like.

How is everybody tonight?

[soleil]

I'm a meanee?
:huh:

I didn't see friends. :( I don't know it it was a new episode or not.

ER is one right now. Want to know who gets kicked off of The Apprentice?
:dozey:

[rf_ucsd]

NO I don't wanna know, sweetee.

I think Friends is new. They've been showing that preview all week. "It's in Escrow? I couldn't even find it on the map!"

[soleil]

You can tell me what happens on Friends then, because I missed it.

I'm soo tempted to tell you ... but I won't... I'll keep mouth shut. :(
Let me tell you that Omarosa (sp?) is annoying.

[rf_ucsd]

Thanks for not telling me, kiddo.

Friends just started ... seems pretty typical to me thus far.

[';']

this show is just stupid :cool:

and wrong. can't believe they put something on tv like this :D :P

[rf_ucsd]

Bachlorette ... or Friends?

I agree! :P

:lol:

(playground chant: Gaby's gonna fight Ginger! Gaby's gonna fight Ginger!)

[';']

:stunned:

*runs* :blush: :snore:

[';']

and too
:cool:

why did they have to pick this woman. i mena they could have done better :sneaky: :lol:

[soleil]

Hahaha!! No. I completely agree. I just think that so many people can get hurt in the process of picking someone. I refused to watch the show in the beginning. Especially with the Bachelor. I though it was just some dude who was taking the opportunity to get it on with 25 girls at once. But I got sucked in anyways. :rolleyes:

I don't think I'm going to watch the next one. Who cares about football players?

Meredith was alright I thought. They could have done better. :smug:

[';']

They could have done better

that's what i'm sayin'







my roommate watching it. that's only how i know a little bit about it.

[';']

i mean my roommate always watches it :P

[soleil]

^ :lol:

Friends??
Overrated. :dozey: :smug:

[rf_ucsd]

The Cosby Show.

It's all about The Cosby Show.

[';']

oh yeah

[soleil]

Different Strokes.

[rf_ucsd]

Seinfeld
duh!

[soleil]

:smug:

Mr Belvidere.

[rf_ucsd]

An ex-girlfriend of mine was on that show once.

[soleil]

Really?

:stunned:

[rf_ucsd]

Yep. Her name was Cassandra. She had a non-speaking role.

[gvargas]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
a non-speaking role...I loved Mr. Belvidere.

Anyways, I thought that it was great that she ended up with either of the guys. They both seemed nice. But, after the show yesterday, I think it was good that she ended up with Ian....plus he is from Brazil!

[rf_ucsd]

Yep. she played "girl in closet".

[LiquidSky]

I only watched the "Bachelorette" once :dozey:
