Yah I agree Leads always make those throw away comments after cast start walking to the house (she's cute, hot, etc)... just interesting to me he said "keeper" about the one he ended up with... it's almost like when JoJo said "finally"  when meeting Jordan... I'm so suspicious now of every lead!!

I don't think those kind of things mean anything other than that is a person that the lead is very attracted to right from the start. It simply goes to show just how much of an impact that initial attraction has on who they pick. Pretty much every lead that I remember that had that much of a strong reaction to someone getting out of the limo, ended up picking that person...no matter how much editors tried to fool us otherwise. Something I have to repeatedly remind myself of pretty much every season.

The ABC app has a couple of 15 second previews up, including the She loved me one.  I don't think any of them show anything we don't already have, but I am working on SCs now.  Unfortunately there is no link to bring over the actual preview from the app or on demand section from the tv for everyone to view and they are not on either the regular ABC Bach page or the Disney Press Bach page.  

I will post SCs once I get them all done.

thankyou....I generally try to avoid his stuff. LOL.

I think the reason that RS acts like he hates the show and finds the whole concept disdainful is in order to bolster his "man card". Yeah, he chose to watch TB and write a blog long before there was any financial reward in it, so he apparently has had some fascination with this franchise since the beginning (and is probably embarrassed by that fact, so he mocks it). It's always been clear to me that his attitude of superiority is a cover for his own self esteem issues. As much as he claims not to be bothered about getting some past seasons wrong, he obviously is very bothered by it, and that's why he tries to minimize any errors he's made and incessantly brag about every time he got something right. He has made a seemingly lucrative business out of his spoilers, and for that I give him credit, but he would be a lot easier to take if he would stop trying to convince us all how brilliant he is.

I don't see much similarity between RS and Nick, other than being close in age and, at least up until recently, unlucky in love. And they both definitely have a snarky side to them and are not afraid to rub people the wrong way at times. But Nick has never struck me as insecure and "needing to prove something to the world" the way RS so obviously is.

RS's self esteem is so important he will do anything to make himself look like the spoiler King, so much as to mock our forum, among other things.

I worked with someone who was a major b*tch. Some days she was sweet as pie. Those days don't cross off the b*tch days. Same goes for RS. His arrogance and prejudice towards mankind, IMO is not someone I care to give clicks to.

Nick is none of those things IMO, as a matter of fact, he has proven, everyone is the same, regardless of cultural background.

Is there going to be a "Bachelor Live" this year? Also, is the Jimmy Kimmel special only for the first episode?

The press release made it sound like the Jimmy Kimmel special is just after the first episode. The second episode is going up against the College Football Championship so ratings will be low regardless.

I haven't seen anything for a Bachelor Live show.

I think they're doing the Snapchat shows instead of the Bachelor Live. I saw it in a tweet but didn't click the link to explore further, so I could be wrong.

I still get the feeling something is up between CH and TPTB. Last year he was snubbed for the after show, and now there isn't an after show. He tweets more Millionaire than anything else.
