The Bachelor 17 - Speculation/Spoilers - Discussion

It would put Emily to shame in the shoe dept - walls of sneakers including his own shoe deal which has his name on the soles.. So that wet footprints leave his name on the sidewalk, etc. It was hilarious.

The machine must be twisting and turning...to have a brand name interested but in such a complicated situation. If Ben's season hadn't tanked so badly, I bet they would be over the moon right now.

Isn't this the same guy that has parents that are struggling financially? Hmmmm.

Lavendered - good to see ya!

LOL Yeah, I saw something on pee-gate last week on one of the "entertainment" shows. (tv rags) I believe they even got Phelps to admit it is not uncommon, which says something.

Concerning this quote:

My frustration stems from the fact that Fleiss clearly asked us about Sean and Arie..the polls were between Sean and Arie..

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!!
A poll is nothing more than a tool to MF. It has no merit other than to get people talking about the show. All MF wants is increased talk= increased ratings. R A T I N G S.
A train wreck is probably needed next season to help the franchise.

For goodness sake, is nobody safe in the pool anymore? I will admit to peeing in the lake on occasion, but NEVER in the pool!

I've resigned myself to not getting another "greatest love story evah told" next season. I guess bring on Peeablo! We won't even have to come up with our own snark, we'll just use his.

Peeablo would make Blob look like a virgin. I don't think I could take a season of trying to decipher his uhms and ahs and surfer dude idiotic rhetoric.

Here he is:

I know that Laureen (sp?) had said that it won't be Roberto, but I'm really starting to think he is the next lead. My frustration stems from the fact that Fleiss clearly asked us about Sean and Arie..the polls were between Sean and Arie..
I've been watching this show on and off for years, much to my family's dismay...my colleagues used to tease me so much about it that I've denied watching it lately..this latest manipulation really got me thinking that this show isn't for me. The mere fact that I'm upset right now, should be my cue that it's time to quit this show once and for all. Fleiss completely turned me off #notcool

I agree. I am kind of over the show at this point. Fleiss is an absolute attention whore, IMO.

I felt like you did and didn't watch Ben's season, thinking I'd never watch again. But I sort of missed the show and therefore watched Emily's season. I was a much happier viewer after skipping a season.

Taking a season off helped reinforce that a) I don't know these people; b) their lives have no impact on my life; and c) THIS. IS. JUST. ENTERTAINMENT. Looked at objectively, this show has no more to do with my life than a Bugs Bunny cartoon has. Maybe less, because I watched Bugs Bunny when I was an impressionable child.

The same a, b, and c, apply to everyone here. Absolutely everyone. This is entertainment. It's supposed to be fun. If it's not fun, you're doing it wrong.

I came back to the show to be entertained, I was entertained, and I never got annoyed at anyone here (except once, and we won't go into that).

So stop watching if you're upset with the show. If you decide you want to resume watching, you can - it's not like you have to take a blood oath that you'll never watch again. You also don't really have to watch to understand what people are talking about here.

I took Jake's season off and I still feel good about that .

The show seems to get consistent ratings whether or not people say they'll watch or not watch.

I took Jake's season off and I still feel good about that

I did too! We could start a club!

Also - Elan is in San Fransisco . Had dinner with Courtney and Ben last night. Elan and Fleiss both in San Fransisco at the same time. Hmmm.

As to Ryan Lochte - I dont watch the dating show guy with a clock around his neck either. I can take a pass.

We can be the founding members! Elan seems to be really good friends with Ben and Courtney. Not sure if Casey is there too, because Elan posted a pic carrying a lot of shopping bags with him yesterday and he doesn't really look like a shopper to me. He seems to buy the 3 pack of vneck tees and he's good to go

Can we assume they're there for the Bachelor? Roberto is MIA since last Sunday. He said he was disappearing for "a few" days. Sean was in Nashville and maybe still is? Arie is in CA, north of L.A., with races due to wrap up today. Maybe we'll have a sighting this weekend and we'll know for sure who it is.

Sean was only in Nashville (where I am) for a day. He left Friday morning. He was here filming an episode for a new show called Life with Priscilla which is produced by Lifeway, a Christian organization. He was on the show speaking about being single.

I think Roberto may be home. In looking at his twitter, I am thinking he was not lost alone.

Anyone know where Ryan Lochte is?

Ryan .. Most likely partying in LA LOL
