If ABC wants to continue its recent successful couple stories, I think thats the way to go. Also, telling by everyone's response to Andi or Sharleen, it would be a pleasant surprise if it were girls like them. Women who are accomplished and are finding their prince charmings.

WORD.

I'd love to have an accomplished, strong and intellectual women as The Bachelorette.

But then they would be harder to manipulate and turn into the hot, crying, snivelling messes that the producers so love to turn their Bachelorettes into!

??? Charleen seems to go on several hardcore crying jags as per the show's previews.

There hasn't been much sleuthing here and I have not seen anyone else here confirm the F1.

Ok, so still a possibility of Claire being F1??

RS is very confident and was even tweeting earlier that the "The crash and burn heartbreak Clare is being set up for is going to reach "epidemic proportions." ... Of course he was also very confident last season and we know how that turned out but, I think he will be on the money this time. There is way too much of Clare being shown everywhere tonight and in all the previews. Classic edit of F2.

re: the bolded.....my guess is they talk her into showing JP the DVD her dad made.

Yes, according to Entertainment Weekly:

ABC might have a Juan-er on its hands: Monday’s The Bachelor premiere delivered its best debut rating in three years.
The two-hour premiere starring the first Latino Bachelor Juan Pablo was up 17 percent from last January, with 8.4 million viewers and a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49. That was enough to win the night given the evening’s modest competition. Check out EW’s recap.
More to come…

Will have to watch the show to see what happens because they are known for their editing tricks of making things seem to be something they are not. Plus, keep in mind they always cast people after they have gone through extensive interviews and psych testing so that they know exactly which buttons to push to get the reactions they want...and they love to push those buttons and then edit, edit, edit.

I think it will be Andi. Especially because she's the the F3 not F2. It's been a long time since they had the F2 be the Bachelorette.

That's true. Has a F2 gal ever been Bachelorette, but for Trista?

I tend to agree but, it will depend on how they edit her and how happy she is with that edit. Also, how her overall experience went. If she is not happy with the manipulations she saw and went through, she may choose to pass. Of course, she could be looking to become the next Nancy Grace or Judge Judy so she may think it is worth it. Will stay tuned.

Of course he likes that!!

As for JPblo being on the show for the wrong reason would be an assumption. He has never said that. When you really listen, he really seriously wants to find a wife. I do not think he is superficial at all, he is a very genuine and honest guy who wants to have a relationship like his parents have. People are mistaking his charm, charisma, and accent as superficial and fake which is unfortunate. I am from Africa, Congo, and I have being told many times by people who think French is sexy, that they love to hear me talk because my French accent comes out as sexy and sensual, but not intentionally from my part. So, lets take it easy on JPlo and give him the benefits of the doubt.
As for last night, I thought his love radars are very sharp when he let go of the massagist and the lady who was dumped before the wedding. Now, lets see who he is going to let go next!
