You and me both! Well his teeth are pretty hard to miss as well.

I actually had typed in his teeth as well but deleted...
Eyebrows, teeth, hairline... it's all too much for me when I see pics of him.

His eyebrows have bothered me since the moment I saw his casting photo . Why pluck around them to draw more attention???

Always bothered me too.
His eyebrows are like two furry caterpillars just sitting there waiting to be turned into butterflies but the metamorphosis never comes.
Very frustrating

I've been following this forum for a while but I've never posted before. I used to be a huge fan of Josh, but I've lost a lot of respect for him lately. Agreeing to do such a trashy show seems like a bad decision to me, but maybe it's a good thing. I think he has really been able to fool people into thinking that he's this great person with great morals and values and agreeing to do a show like this reflects who Josh really is. I've questioned his image for a while and agreeing to do this show basically tells us that he's all after the fame and money. He may continue to pretend to be a great guy on the show, but the fact that he signed up for it tells a lot.

He posted this on twitter:

And thats a wrap out in LA - cant wait to get back to the ATL to see my fam for Thanksgiving - so gr8ful for this experience #Friends4Life

What can I say? Friends with Brandi, Pauly D and Calum for life - birds of a feather flock together. Josh is probably not much different from any of these people, he's just a better actor and better at fooling people.

I don't think he's acting. He's just not bright and totally delusional. It's really kind of sad. And what's more sad is I think he has potential to live up to the person he thinks he is but he just can't get there for whatever reason.

I find it sad too. He's an attractive guy and I think he could've had a lot going for him. Too bad.

You have a point. It's hard to know for sure. While I watched him on the Bachelorette, he seemed very real and genuine to me. After the show, it's almost like he's a different person. So its either he's an amazing actor or something or someone is constraining him from being the person that he either is or can be.

I don't think he's a different person or some amazing actor. I think it's just a case of him falling into the "Bachelor Bubble" just like many F1's have before him. It happens all the time and will continue to happen as long as this show is on. I'm sure he thought it was for real and forever while he was on the show and then once he got back to real life and the newness wore off, reality set in and he realized what he and Andi had probably wasn't really any more special than what all the other broken-up couples on this show had. They're both very dominant people and it can be hard for two people like that to make it work in the long run. I'm sure it can, but it's probably more trouble than it's worth. IMO.

I don't know, I don't see him as this amazing actor at all. Some people in this franchise really did fool me initially (like Jef), but I always felt like Josh showed who he was from day one. He's not a bad guy at all, but his flaws, like his arrogance and stubbornness, always shined through to me. I think that most people who go on this show who get all these once-in-a-lifetime incredible financial opportunities take them. I judge them for it, but I can't really blame them for it.

The whole Murray Family business confused me though. I never understood why everyone acted like Mama Murray was Mother Theresa, when she just seemed like a normal human being to me. JMO.

I don't want to bring his relationship with Andi into this. Yes her fell in love with her and we don't know why they broke up - whether it was the bachelor bubble or something else, but I don't see him as being the same person he was on the show. I agree with the arrogance that you mention. I never saw him to be arrogant on the show, but now I think he is. He seemed really genuine on the show and now he seems a little fake to me. He talked about how picky he was with girls on the show, but if you look at the girl he dated after the show and possibly Samantha, he's really not that picky. I think he tried to portray an image of a great guy who was humble, genuine and not a womanizer on the show but a year later when I look at him, I think he's not what he portrayed himself to be.
I'm just as confused about the Murray family though. I don't get why people glorify his mother either.

Let's keep the convo on the topic. Thanks.
