Episode 6 - 7/01 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion - Spoilers

Thanks for the reminder Love_Me...

Question, since my "language barrier" seems to be in hyper-mode: should I be considering "stepford fan" as an insult (in my mind, the reference to "Stepford wives" is not positive, was it meant to be one?) or a compliment? (yes, I pride myself on giving people the benefit of the doubt and supporting BachelorNation. The ones I dont like, I dont follow, blog about or comment on... ).

Sprite: thank you for your very clear, direct and respectful answer!

Granted, he's not on a reality show competing for the love of a woman

 

this makes a world of difference.

I hesitate bring this up because its not tied to the Bachelorette but I still think some-what relevant. Based on your avi and signature you are fan of Henry Cavill (aka superman) as I have for years when he was the Duke of Suffolk on Tudors. So you'll have to excuse me for pointing out the irony in your poo-pooing the cast for being effeminate and perhaps disingenuous in their interest of women while adoring Henry who has been accused of the same thing for nearly a decade.

If you have followed him through the years then you are aware that he himself as been accused of being "effeminate" in the past and has been rumored to be gay for years. This is because before Henry made it big in Hollywood, many of his friends were gay and they would hang out everywhere in Hollywood. And while Henry has stated publicly that he is not gay and has dated women, the rumors still persist.

All this does not matter but the larger point I am trying to illustrate is that just because someone doesn't conform to a stereotype doesn't mean that their sexuality should be called into question. So if they may come off a little effeminate or hang out with gay people in West Hollywood, like Henry, people should be allowed to be who they are and feel comfortable in their own skin without the judgments. Peace.

This is the part where I will say, please just block me

How many times has it been said, this is a forum and we have the right to moan and groan. And NOBODY can tell us what to think, say

and feel. Its in the forum rules please check.

And if we cant enjoy the show,  why can't we enjoy snarking on it???? :Smiley:


Anyway I stopped watching already.  I just go by what the posters here say.  I admire you guys' tenacity and determination to enjoy this drek.
Kudos!

Hi dear CF!!:WAVEY:
just wanna let you know that i am one of your secret admirer..:cutesmile!:
i enjoy reading your posts...i even often laugh when you were mocking on my golden boy..:P. i dont feel bother by it or whatsoever since i  keep my sanity when it comes to this silly show... in short, pls keep posting. :Clap:..i found your posts and several others, the non-side/neutral posters such a breath of fresh air.oh and yes, i admit, this quite a boring season..so i am enjoying y`all snarking in this forum even more...:P :giggle:

I can promise you, what most think is snark here---is actually those who usually snark refraining quite a bit.

I don't quite understand your generalizations about Drew. Not all guys go for the windswept look, doesn't mean they're vain. Having seen a few candid pics of Drew, he often wears a ball cap and doesn't dress up.  

Albean, I agree!!  These "generalizations" being used with Drew are the very same ones that when said about Brooks are taken as a putdown on HIS masculinity.  Isn't that supposed to be off limits here?  Drew has own individual "look", but I don't think that it takes him any longer to shower and shave than it does for the rest of the guys.

I remember during Sean's season the ladies were asked (I assume by the producers), how long they take to get ready...and there was a chart. Cat was the pee and go type, while Ashley admitted to 3 hours. I wish they had done the same for the guys. I think some would be shocked. My brother spends more time on his hair than his fiancee and I put together...And don't think we don't make fun of him for it!!!

We probably don't know how long these guys take to get ready. They are being recorded to be on national tv! Heck, I usually only take about 30 min or so but if I knew I would be on a tv I would probably take 6 hrs! I'm sure they guys are taking more time(with the exception on brooks hair lol) to look nice and to be appealing to des than they do in their normal setting back at home.

The preview clips are up at the vid threads, for those that can see it.
