Reid Rosenthal - Bachelorette 5 - Discussion

Well, Reid is Jewish and probably did not care to observe Christmas???

Hi everyone. Here's an opportunity to vote for Reid in a real estate poll. http://m.philly.curbed.com/archives/2012/08/13/round-1-heat-1-phillys-hottest-brokers.php

I loved Reid on Jillian's season, but if I'm not mistaken, didn't quite a few of the guys label him as neurotic and annoying and having a very high anxiety type energy? I hope this is not something that the Machine is going to potentiate.

We shall see.

Heya, Kasha and Sushifan: I agree. I loved Reid on Jillian's season - great wit, humor, ability to laugh at himself, respectful of women (Jillian, and Paige in BP3), love of family, successful businessman, and to me sexy, whether scruffy or suited up. Also love his voice.

Some people have criticized the way he played the game in BP3, saying he lied and hurt poor Ed. I had to laugh when Ed called Reid a liar and acted all hurt that his "friend" would treat him that way. In my mind, there is no bigger liar than Ed - look at his history, both on Jillian's season and afterward. He has admitted to being a womanizer and he certainly has shown himself to be disrespectful of women. He is also the most unattractive drunk, which he seems to be much of the time whenever we see him. Such a show off - couldn't stand the pics in bed, couldn't stand the sight of him standing on the counter with a bottle in his hand - yuck!

IMO Ed sure acted put-upon - I have to admit, he was a great actor, but he could never fool me. Sleazy in my book.

So, I'd like to see Reid as The Bachelor sometime, where he could control his own destiny. He knows the whole Fleiss process well now, and I'll bet they still are interested in him. In Jillian's season, Reid labeled himself "neurotic" and a hypochondriac, but I didn't see him as either - I felt he was just careful/cautious about things. And high anxiety - don't think that's a problem for him anymore. He's been around a bit since Jillian days, so I think he's wiser now. At any rate, I have missed his honesty, quick wit, his easy banter (with Jillian), his voice, and his sexyness, so I want to see him in a more "respectful" atmosphere again. JMO

Nobody that goes on this show is perfect just like RS mentions in not being shocked -- we don't *know* any of them aside from their edited versions. I still choose to believe Reid is a fun, quirkmeister of a guy and I enjoy watching him (but not on bp3) nothing more or less :)

I agree with you, and from personal experience, Reid is very much like he appeared on Jillian's season. I was not in favor of his doing BP3, and we all saw why. Playing the game, actually tamer than other strategists in the past seasons, Reid was labeled a liar by many, including Ed. Still, he acted like a gentleman to Paige, and certainly didn't seem to engage in any crude behavior that I could see. I really enjoyed his banter and quick wit with Jillian, and would love to see more of that in the future.

Reid ex-girlfriend Kristen Dalton is engaged to Kris Wolfe.

boy, that didnt' take long....

Maybe, Reid was taking too long to ask? Didn't he just do something with wetpaint?

I thought they broke up because he was cheating on her?

I thought they were splitsville... I don't think he would even toyed with the idea of Bachelor Pad, or have attended any Bachelor "reunion" parties unless things were on the rocks with Kristen. Just doesn't seem like Reid's style.

^^^I totally agree. I never saw/heard any indication of him cheating.
