Re: Blake & Holly - Discussion - Thread #1

[Peppermom]

I will never be a fan of Blake, some of these people I just don't like, and never will, nothing he can do will change that for me. Same with Holly, never, ever cared for her, nothing to do with BP2, way before that.

We like what we like, we dislike what we dislike, kinda like ice cream. :P

Fudge ripple please

From Holly's perspective, I can understand why Blake would be considered the best "catch" out of the men she's been involved with so far; a tall, handsome, educated professional, who will probably be financially successful as well. It's unfortunate that the messy way their relationship started, combined with Blake's unlikability on BP and Holly's rather "colorful" romantic history, will cast a cloud on their potential "fairy tale", and cause people to be skeptical about their odds. If they really are meant to be, they'll make it and prove the skeptics wrong. But it's no surprise that not everyone is going to embrace this couple right out of the gate, too much baggage. Jason and Molly, anyone?

He didn't seem all that nice to Ashley either and I was really uncomfortable watching some of their scenes together, but of course, like with all the couples, I ultimately wish them happiness and love. They definitely seem blissful together.

What? You mean when he was rude to Ashley, refused to sit down, then seem bewildered when she started to cry? Or when she was crying and he was smirking as he said, "Come here and let me hug you?"

Or when he called Erika "thick" upon first meeting her?

If nothing else, at least Holly can maybe refine his rough edges a bit.

My view of Blake was formed before BP2 as well. I didn't like the way he treated Ashley and even she compared him to Bentley in a tweet after he trashed Melissa so there was probably a lot we didn't see. One would like to hope that Holly can 'change him' but I'm just worried that in one good fight, he's going to go for her jugular too. I just think that is how he is and if he gets wounded or feels insecure, he's going to hurt her. Holly comes off as a ditz but I just can't see her putting up with a guy who treats her poorly or who would speak to any woman the way he spoke to both Ashley and Melissa.

He does seem to love her and that's a good thing but, gees, what happens when they have their first real fight?

I love you!

Fudge Royale from Publix is my favorite! (essentially fudge ripple with real fudge swirls, not chocolate ice cream)

Blake's father is Dr. Jon Julian in McPherson, Kansas.

Wow, I didn't know that! I live about 25 min. from McPherson, but my daughter actually lives there. It's a small town. I am surprised that there was no talk of him being on the Bachelor or Bachelor Pad. My daughter works for the paper there, so she would have said something! lol

Watch out, Rich, you are being way too lighthearted on here. Love you, and vanilla ice cream too, and cupcakes. :Woah-hoo:

When Ericka and Blake were "getting to know" each other for the Nearlywed game, he mentioned that his father's name was Jon. When he and Holly drove across the country they stopped in Kansas, which is out of the way for LA-Greenville. Blake also went to dental school in Kansas, adding 1+1, you come up with a dentist named Jon Julian who teaches at the dental school Blake went to, deduction: it is his father.

I remember when we were sleuthing for clues about Ashley season we came across that information about his father. I also remember him having Colorado roots as well?

I wasn't questioning you. I was just saying I didn't realize that is where his father lived!

Ugh, YES. "Well, I'm going to stand and you can just do whatever." Haaaated him on Ashley's season and haaaated him on what little I watched of BP. What a smug jackass. And Holly offends me because she just seems deeply dumb, although it's probably all an act that she puts on around guys, which is even worse than actually being deeply dumb. Blech.

Blake said that he grew up in Steamboat Springs, CO. He was a competitive skier for ten years.
I guess his family moved to KS at some point.

Chaslom4, I didn't take it as you questioning me, I just wanted to tell you how I came up with it. Didn't read about it here before, when they sleuthed Ashley's season.
