I'm not looking forward to the James drama when it comes to James himself because I just don't find him interesting. But I think the big blow-up in the house might be fun. :Smiley:I like a little drama with my romance.

I can't understand how a group of grown men crying, bitching and throwing each other under the bus every other scene can be considered the best bunch of bachelors ever....but, we all have different tastes so a lid for every pot. I'm glad that you are enjoying this season because none of the people I talk to are. Personally I enjoy the seasons when we have the male bonding and comradery. There have been a few snippets of that here but not much. For me the guys this season come across as either big muscled meatheads from the Jersey Shore, uncaring jerks or preppy metrosexuals. None of which appeals. A man who takes hours to quaff his hair so that not a hair is out of place and wouldn't move if a tornado passed over his head does not put a fire in my loins!

I expect the bitching and cattiness during the Bachelor seasons because...well, that is just what women do on this show, but, the Bette seasons are supposed to be more romantic. The guys are usually more laid back and chill. They are supposed to take off their shirts and keep their mouths closed....unless they are making out. Worse, Des just doesn't seem to give a sh*t. She is going through the motions and making out right and left. She can't even muster any real...or fake...outrage when the fake drama hits. She looked bored out of her skull last night during that date with Ben and Michael and looked like she was wondering why the hell am I here and why am I not drunk. She could care less about Ben or Michael, or Brian and Bryden, or James next week.

I am curious if you watched other seasons and who your favourite bachelors were? Maybe we just have polar opposite tastes? Either that or my crotchetty old age is showing!

Oh, I just have to add about the manipulation...we are not exaggerating when we say there is a LOT of it going on. Not so much scripted but manipulation of the lead and the players. What they don't get they edit in. You just need to see a copy of their contract and what it stipulates. After reading that sucker I can't imagine any sane person ever wanting to do this show but if you want your 15 minutes of fame...
