The Bachelor 17 - Speculation/Spoilers - Discussion

That has always been the elephant in the room. I think it tends to lean towards the preferences of the lead when the producers choose. I really am shocked with all the hoopla about Fleiss not having a minority for a lead that he didn't put a bandage on the franchise and choose latino Roberto. Fleiss is very confusing to read and his agenda is ever changing.

True it is a preference but to me for a guy to say.....I am going on t.v. to find my soul mate......means being open to something you may not have considered in past traditional dating methods. When you are given the choice of an exceptional individual who you may never have met in your circle one may be more likely to dig deeper.

I am saying have a better and diverse selection of people of color. Have a hard time believing there are no young, attractive, beautiful women of color that Arie would not be interested. One woman has supposedly been selected already. I read her bio......and I know many women of color who are more interesting and attractive.

Not to compare women to food but one last example. A nutritionist tells a childcare facility that the food they serve is skewed more toward sugar and carbs. They need more fruit and vegetables.....so does the facility just throw a random veggie on the table and expect the kid to pick it up or prepare a wonderful fruit platter along with a very appetizing veggie platter? That is what I am saying the show is not doing giving an attractive choice.

Well, I have to actually do some work now. Hopefully, when I come back some will have sleuthed out some other possible candidates - there must be some out there because time is ticking down.

Anyway, she said it was really, really hard to meet any decent guys while on tour because they're travelling for over half the year, they don't have time to maintain many friendships outside of the golf world and they really don't want to take up with any fans. The ones who are not top money makers usually billet themselves at host houses (members of the course they are playing with will offer to put up 1 or 2 of the golfers).

Our town hosted the LPGA championship a few years ago. Most of these girls are living on nothing. I was told that there were groups of 4 of them living in a cheap hotel room with 2 double beds. Some of them had free accommodations in people's homes. A lot of them don't play all the events, so if she wasn't a top golfer, she might only be gone a few weekends a month. And many of them have jobs as club pros, so they have an income coming in to support their golf.

Sorry for being off topic but is there a way to watch the The Bachelor Canada in the US?

Is Arie not the next Bach?

It will be shown on CityTv so it's possible it will be available on-line a couple of days later (don't know for sure). I know that my daughter watches a lot of their shows on-line.

Thanks! Saw a number of tweets about the show today and remembered it was airing soon.

With both political conventions, the hurricane and Labor Day on the horizon, I'd be surprised if they make a TB announcement before late next week.

I'm guessing that since Canadians can't watch ABC shows on-line (only through the canadian affiliate), US viewers won't be able to watch CityTV online....I'm sure the eps will be uploaded to Youtube anyway.

Blondie Gal got confirmation from two of her three sources. The other source said it wasn't official. Arie was seen yesterday filming something in a Scottsdale restaurant and an employee there said it was for The Bachelor. He's been working on his social media stuff, new webpage. However, his father did say that he's scheduled to race in mid-October.

Yes, very pretty!
Just one think to keep in mind(and yes, I meant think), this show only takes so many "normal" people(to quote a past contestant let go minutes before the limos took off for the meat and greet). So the machine is not looking to make it a normal love quest.
But I guess there is hope, how many movies and novels are based on tragedies (the Titanic, Jurassic Park, Earthquake) have significant romances? Remember MF originally did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

She does look normal. And having doubts about going on just shows that she is probably normal. I do hope they pick here. She's only 24, but you have to have a pretty good head on your shoulders to survive the LPGA tour. The other girl, Kristy Kaminski, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
looked a little scary to me. Very out there with her sexiness in a very aggressive way.
