Episode 1 (Premiere) - 4/9 - Ready For Love- Discussion - Spoilers

I see that Ali tweeted that she's excited for this show!

I like it so far. :)

Anyone watching? Is it one guy this week & another next week?

No, but that was my question. Are they going to show a guy each week? How long is this show?

No, the other 2 boys share next week. They used extra time to introduce the show this week and used Tim (well known) to launch rather than 2 unknown guys,

Thanks. Is it always 2 hrs?

Does anyone know where I can watch it? I forgot to record it. :Frown:

I like it so far! The format is very dynamic and allows the girls to be shown more!

I missed this tonight and wanted to know if it was worth seeing.

Thanks for sharing your opinions everyone!

I will share my thoughts about the show soon. :)

I liked it more than I thought i would. But I also thought it was too frenetic. It was hard to keep all the girls straight. I like the blonde coach and the English coach, the dark haired one not too much.

There really wasn't enough time to see him interact with all the girls. Some girls never got any time with him. I liked Lea but was glad she left because she'd bring too much drama with their past.

The only other ones I didn't like were the hyper girl with the big teeth and the host, Guiliana (I only know her as the one who married the first Apprentice winner.) She's kind of annoying. You can tell there's never going to be any time for reflection on the action during the show itself because they have to give air time to so many people -- the guys, the coaches, the girls, the hosts. A little like sensory overload.

I was wondering about spoilers. I hope RS doesn't decide to jump in and play the spoiler game. Spoilers are more fun when we're figuring it out together from clues instead of someone telling us they know something.

I wonder if Fleiss feels threatened. The Bach/ette has become a little stale these last few seasons. JMO. Even the difference in the house the girls stay in from the Bachelor mansion -- it was fresher, cooler, etc. I'll keep watching RFL , I do think it has promise.

It will be even more overwhelming next week, with two new men and 18 more women to keep straight! I feel that way watching each season of the Bachelor though, it gets easier as more people go home.

The elimination is interesting, I'm guessing the matchmakers consult with the man and pick the bottom three based on what he says about the dates. It's probably obvious to them who he's cold/lukewarm about, so at least one of the three up for eliminination will be someone he's ready to let go.

How were the ratings? They ran a promo inviting viewers to submit their names for next season (which may just be wishful thinking at this point). If they do it again they might think they need more drama to help ratings. It seems the drama is harder to come by when they rely on professional matchmakers to pick women who are genuine catches. AND those women are held accountable for their behavior each week on stage in front of an audience.

Maybe they will choose three of the women who made it far on this season (one rejected bachelorette from each grouping) to be their three leads next season. It works for the Bachelor/Bachelorette cycle. Of course if the ratings are bad we probably don't have to worry about a next season!

Anyway... it's cool to hear Tim is still very happy with the woman he chose. Do we know when taping ended? It feels like I first heard about this show a long time ago! (I'm not confusing it with "Three" or another dating show because I remember the part about one of the guys being the singer for the Plain White Ts.)
