The Bachelor 17 - Speculation/Spoilers - Discussion

cimcoe wrote:I don't think twitter followers is neccesarily a good indicator of ratings. Last season has people with some of the highest twitter followings, but the ratings for the season were some of the lowest in franchise history. Sean may be popular, but coming off a season with declining ratings, I don't know if he's the best choice to revitalize the series. This might be a good time to try someone brand new.

I would be interested in someone new just so long as it wasn't Lochte.

What a rude, classless, ignorant thing to tweet to anyone. ugh.

Huh? He and I have direct msged in the past on FB. I doubt he will think I am ignorant rude or classless. I also let him know fans were curious.. However you have shown your contempt for me and I don't understand! Anyway carry on.

Fans may be curious, but it's none of their business. Even public figures have rights of privacy.

He's hot, but kind of boring and vanilla, IMO. At least he was in his edited version on Ali's season. Personality wise, he actually reminds me a TON of Sean. Both Roberto and Sean are pretty interchangeable to me personality wise, and I think we'd get the same kind of show. One happens to be Latino, and the other Albino, and that's the only major difference between the two.

I believe that his personality just didn't get to be edited in - Natalie Getz (who doesn't really sugarcoat anything) said that he would be the first Bachelor with personality and looks. I honestly believe that about Sean too (although I'm not fan), just because his tweets are pretty witty. I think that there are some personalities and types of humor that come across more obviously on TV, and others that do not. Like, I do think that Ben is really weird and funny IRL, but in his edit, he came off really boring and dry - partly because his sense of humor is hard to show on a show about romance and marriage, IMO.

Also, I'm too blinded by Roberto's looks to care about silly things like personality and humor.

Agreed. It's a weird and awkward type of question to ask someone. If someone has adopted a child and is proud of that fact, they will disclose it. For a random fan (and, yes, you are still random even if you have messaged them before on FB) to ask that just kind of supports all the stereotypes about crazy Bachelor fans.

:shocked!: What do you call your behavior?

Anyway, I doubt Jeremy would be offended. I've followed him for years. He's not exactly politically correct himself.

The epitome of grace... thanks for asking.

Incredibly rude and hurtful. I should know. Before I met DH he adopted two sibling toddlers who have black hair and brown eyes. We're blond, blue/green eyed. On a very small handful of occasions someone has had the audacity and insensitivity to ask if the children were adopted, once right in front of them. I am thankful that most people know better because it is noone's busness but our own. DH loves those children as much and treats them the exact same as he does his two older biological children. Unbelievable. :pullouthair:

Nonetheless, aren't we supposed to let that slide by or disagree but not insult the poster? What exactly are the rules here?

looks like MF will go with a first Non-Caucasion this time, if Roberto wants to do it. He is MF's long-time crush

Ali was seems bit freaking out in the vid.Bet she'd be mortified if Hottie Dimples is TB . LoL

That's so funny that they actually went on record and said "we wanted Roberto". Seriously, Ali had the best F2 in the history of Bachelorettes. I do think that he was their first choice, and I'm still hoping for him (against all odds).

Ali's F2?
You must mean Chris Lambton.
Sorry; he married Payton Wright, a former contestant on another season, a few months ago.
I believe that Chris Lambton's show on HGTV - "Going Yard" - is no longer on the air.
It doesn't show up on their schedule now.

Jeremy is not married .. Never has been .. And yes .. That is his real son

I believe you mean biological as all adoptees are considered real children by their adoptive parents.

Geeeeeezzzzzzz!!!!!M
