Sometimes there is just TOO MUCH INFORMATION about things which are not anyone's business. JMHO. :hidingchair

Angela said in a recent interview that, now that they are not together anymore, she is happy she is still a virgin. Why is she still on the subject, if she thinks the show focused too much on it? Well because it is a marketing tool?? It set her apart from the other girls on the show and gave her the attention she was there for. How else would we notice her in the midst of the numerous girls on the show?

Well, she is pretty darn tall.


LOL, unfortunately Shandi who is also blonde and tall gave her a run for her money on that. With 3 sets of girls, I could not tell most of them apart until they were narrowed down to the final 4 for each bachelor. But the ex (Kari) and the virgin stood out for me. Product differentiation.

kari did stick out, and i don't mean in a bad way. i have to wonder if now that the show is completely done, the relationship with angela is completely done and he's back to being totally single, if ben has any regrets at all about kari. within the constraints of a tv dating show, bringing kari into that mix was a recipe for failure (for bringing them back together). then ben spent 9-10 months on the fringes of a real relationship with angela while kari decided to move on with her life and apparently found love with someone else. just something to consider....

The "Kari Situation"

I have also been a silent listener to the conversations on Kari's twitter page
Like most viewers, it was obvious to me that Kari had Ben's undivided attention when she was on the show. I believe her when she says that it was Ben who asked her to go on the show.

I know a lot of people thought that Ben should have given her a chance, but I feel that she wasn't on the show long enough for me to form an opinion on that.

However when it comes to her current relationship with the bearded bloke, my British sensibilities are telling me not to fall for it. We (Brits) place a heavy premium on something we call UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE.

If Kari has to shout from the twitter roof top that she is head over heels in love with the amazing Tanner (her ex), then I have a feeling that she is not selling me the authentic item. It looks too bold and shiny. A close examination might reveal that this is a counterfeit. I just don't know.

She has retweeted a lot of messages from people who think that Ben is an idiot or made a mistake for not giving their relationship a chance. A woman asked her why she went on the show and why she is flaunting her current relationship. You guessed right. Her answer was about Ben. She said he asked her several times to be on the show.

Well according to my decoder, she is making all this noise on twitter because she is mad at Ben. She went on a TV show to win Ben, but I have a feeling that she will not be caught dead or alive on radio, let alone on TV to win the "Tannter Wannter" if he asked her to. I may be misreading the situation.

PS
I realized that when she tweets angry messages about Ben she goes back and deletes them. For example, her response to the woman I mentioned above.

I have said it once and I will say it again. There is a reason these people are on these shows. It is either they really have issues, and all the beauty in the world isnt going to hide it or they are looking for fame. Normal everyday folk find love the old fashioned way. And watching these shows makes it quite obvious these people need to talk to shrinks and quick. How ridiculous that every person leaving the bachelor is crying' I will never find love. Why cant I be loved?" I want to shake them and say you are 24 BUT you're nuts. Who says those type of things? These people have no self esteem at all. Dont try to figure these people out you cant. They have been blessed to be gorgeous for the most part but thats all there is. Every now and then you get a "real" person but not too often. And as far as Angela and Sean talking about their virginity. I could care less. :puke: Makes me think they are even odder than the rest.

I think Sara Lavagino's (sp) exit was the classiest. Tarryn disappointed me with that sign off cry.

I guess i missed her step Dad saying she was not pursuing him. hmmmm, she saw him on a video & signed up to go on a dating show to meet him. That is not pursuing??? I agree she is the one who keeps on & on about being a virgin! I can't imagine how hard that was for him on their occasional meetings. I do wonder if he thought that if they were engaged, she wouldn't make him wait till their wedding night? I really never saw emotion or chemistry with her towards him & really not much from him towards her. I was not a huge Kari fan, but I think he still has feelings for her. I am afraid this was Angela's way to get publicity as you guys have stated.

LOL, I am in the minority but I liked Kari and hoped he would choose her, I only saw him light up around Kari...

count me into that minority. i liked her too. ben's description of her being a firecracker was accurate. i think she was a real challenge for him and perhaps that is why he chose angela. she too was a challenge, though of a different sort.

Wait-A-Minute and luvlady354,
I am not against Kari, I wrote my thoughts (above) because I am wondering if she really likes Tanner or deep down she likes Ben. She went on a show for Ben but would she do that for Tanner? I have a feeling she won't.

Me too. Thought she was for real. Never felt anything coming from him when he was with the others. But with her there were sparks.
