Hard for me to separate the leads from the seasons.

As people and leads worst to best

Emily - I never liked her

Jen - she was just a bitch, nothing else to say

Trista - baby voice nightmares

Ali - didn't like her on Jake's season and she was somewhat better on her season

DeAnna - The whole melting down over the guys not liking her, she was kind of pathetic

Des - she had the wounded bird thing, like her much better afterwards and watching her make Chris happy has increased my like for her

Ashley - she ended up more fun than I expected

Meredith - loved her snark, but I do understand about the gap in the teeth

Jilly - she was so fun and awesome.

^^ Oh that's totally understandable. :)I just meant that my ranking reflected my views on the leads only. If I had taken the contestants and the season itself into account, Ali's and Ashley's season would've been much higher, DeAnna's lower...etc.

Ps: It seems, I really have to re-watch Meredith's, Jen's and DeAnna's season.... LOL... I haven't seen those seasons for a while now and I totally I don't remember Meredith being especially snarky or Jen being especially mean or DeAnna being overly pathetic. ... Even though, I must admit I wasn't that invested in the Bette back then... *who knows....I may have to update my ranking in a couple of days*

Maybe he's just being a b_tt head because some on this board have out sleuthed him on some of the contestants. He says he knows all the rest of the contestants but waiting to see if that is true since he hasn't even trickled out a couple more names a week it leads one to think maybe he doesn't have as much as he leads on. :skeptic:

Can I play?

Funny how we can all have such different opinions on the same people.

Never watched Trista's season, so that is off the list.

LOVED Meredith's season. I thought she was funny, and I saw the connection with Ian right off. Definitely the relationship I could most relate to as I was watching it (for good or for bad, its complicated laugh out loud

). This is really the season that hooked me into the franchise. And also taught me not to invest too much in the couples, laugh out loud

. And also taught me not to trust what I see from the editing. Would have been nice to see the real story.

LOVED Ashley's season, although I was very unhappy with the early episodes. But once the story started to develop with JP - STEAMY. Two smart and capable people, even if they were edited down to not show much of that. Probably ranks #1 overall because it was obviously REAL.

LIKED Ali's season, largely because Fleiss pulled off an upset and a super finale. Spent most of the season following a credible story line leading to her picking no one, while all the while she was into Roberto. She by herself may not be a favorite, but the story lines went well, and that made the season.

LIKED Desire's season, partly for the same reason as above, the upset factor, although in this case it was less fun because I felt it was done at the expense of the real story and Desiree and Chris' credibility. Was not happy about that at all. Having a REAL and LIKEABLE couple at the end, however, lets one look back on it with rosier glasses.

LIKED OK Jillian's season. She is fun, but it was hard to watch knowing she was falling for and likely to end up with the wrong guy. Enjoyed some of her men - that she did not pick - a lot, however. But Ed? REALLY? I don't get his attraction. Never will.

LIKED OK Emily's. She as too stiff, but some of her guys were fun. And some beautiful places they went. And some entertaining dates. I was into it at the time, but it looses more and more luster over time. Maybe I should rank it FINE.

FINE with DeAnna's season. They did well editing what they had into a credible and enjoyable storyline, even if it wasn't particularly "real."

Jen's season was DISAPPOINTING. Start to finish. No connection with any of the guys, even if she did crush a little on Jerry for a while.

The top 5? That only leaves 3 others….Trista, Jillian & Des.
And Ashley on the list…crazy!

Meredith definitely was snarky and I also enjoyed that she was going to be herself and not throw herself into the hot tub all the time. Her time with Ian was just steamy, no other way to describe it. I loved Meredith on Bob's season too, so I maybe biased. I thought Meredith had an interesting group of guys and some fun dates, so it would be worth the re-watch, plus Ian was smoking hot!

Jen was really rude to her number 3 guy and his family and to me spent most of the season slightly disengaged. I am still not sure why she agreed to do the show. But then I was always on Andrew side, I thought he loved her so much and she was a bitch to him, so my view could have been jaded. I also thought Jen didn't get a great group of guys either and sadly she actually had input on the guys they put on her season. That said it was kind of a boring season and I wouldn't waste my time re-watching it.

I remember the DeAnna meltdown when she went to the guys house for the bar-b-que and they weren't dropping everything and fawning all over her. I felt bad when Graham left, it was for the best, but she looked lost. She was just trying to not end up like Brad from then on. I actually liked some of her guys, but she didn't like the ones I was interested in.
