Re: Episode 11 - 7/22 - Bachelorette 8 - FINALE - Thread #1

The guys who are really very physical with the F2 and F3 at the end of the season, when you know that they already know who they are going to pick as F1, seem to get a lot of grief. I'm glad that they guys get grief for that as well as the women. It makes sense to me - whether it's a Bachelor or Bachelorette doing that. But I fully acknowledge that editing can play a big part of how much we see.

A few bach's were called fame whores, Blob was called everything! :laughingoutlou
A ton of female contestants have been called sluts IIRC, including just last season of Ben's. Chantal was skewered for her topless shoot, Michelle Money for her aggressiveness, Bevin, and on and on.

slut (sl t). n. 1. a. A person, especially a woman, considered sexually promiscuous. b. A woman prostitute. 2. A slovenly woman; a slattern.

Agree!!! This is wht happens people get bored. Hope we get new extended preview soon

I am not bored. Merely stating my view.

Yes, and you specified that you weren't saying Emily was one. You are stating your belief and point of view. When did that become forbidden or a capital offense?

Whether it's boredom or lack of sc's, this is still a discussion forum the last time I checked. People should be allowed to express their beliefs, feelings, opinions. That's why we are here, not to think alike and agree on everything.

Thanks for all of the replies! I remember Bob as being totally disgusting.

And yet they all came through it relatively unscathed, happy, and in some cases beloved... yes

True!

Blob and Ben seem to be the two male contestants who were criticized for their behavior and called some choice words. Very small number compared to the number of female contestants who have been raked over the coals for being deemed "slutty."

My personal feeling is that kissing mulitple men doesn't make a woman a slut. And the kissing we see with Emily on this show, while passionate, frequent, doesn't show heavy petting and body grinding, etc. along with it. I mean, kissing is as physical as it gets that we see.

Ever hear the term "man-ho"? For me it goes both ways. No exceptions. It applies to men as well as women.

I think we're not from the same countries, cities ... And we don't have the same cultures bref we do not get the same education so it's normal that the way that some see/lecture this frenchise may be different from others

I think Brad kissed at least the last dozen girls on the show ... didnt he? Hahahahahah ! I think he decided to break his one kiss a day from the first time around.

It is just that Emily REALY really really enjoys her kisses :Drool:

And there for kissing does not a slut make........EGADS I detest that word
And there for being a single patent does not a slut make
And there for having a child out of wedlock does not a slut make
