Since so far only 2 seasons have ended with marriage (the jury is still out on Ashleys since she has not even set a firm date yet) I like to rewatch whatever I can get my hands on just to see how the connection came to be.
Tristas season was so romantic merely because she connected with Ryan on an emotional level which annoying though Trista herself was IMO, was so beautiful to see.

That's one season I have not watched. I would like to, but I just can't get past her voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me!

Her voice is actually not like that during her season. It's very low-toned in general.

Oh, you must! You don't even notice Trista. It's all about Ryan.... it was so good. Two opposite F2 and SOOOO many thought Charlie had it in the bag. Ryan alone is the reason I check out at least the first episode of every bach/ette. He's just precious.

yes, one season that's a must watch. and Trista's really the only one so far that has achieved the effect this show originally wanted to achieve. definitely the best season still, lol, even MF called her the Hall of Fame of the bachelor/ette. ;)

^^^ And (her) season did it without hot tubs and being a kissing bandit.

They def. did with Andy, because I'm watching his season online now, and the women during the M&G are talking about how they have looked him up online and one knows that he is a doctor right out of the limo (and many are wearing flats with their dresses prob. because they knew he was a shorter guy too cute.)

I also remember on Jasons season, that one of the women named Shannon had looked him up online and was saying she wasn't a stalker

They also knew Ben was the bachelor And Bob Guiney!

KiKill may I ask you where I can find older seasons of this show to watch? I'd love to. Thank you!

Here you go hun :Smiley: : https://www.youtube.com/user/PlayBachelor?feature=watch

Oh that reminds me, here is Jillians season, I loove watching Michael Stag : https://www.youtube.com/user/MsBachelorettefan09/featured

Thank you so much again!!!

I just watched Trista & Ryan's night before FRC and man things have changed! She cooked for him while wearing jeans & her glasses with hair pulled up. Total realistic situation. Now they fly around the world where every date is a "fantasy" I hope Emily is the next one to find true love! I know I wear rose colored glasses but a girl can hope :)

by Guest Sun Apr 15, 2012 1:21 am

lstiff, I also love that more realistic situation. It would be interesting if one of Emily's requests / demands was that they return to Charlotte after the HTDs and stay there for the remainder, so she could have her f3 on her turf again but more intimately. It would be fun to watch them hang out at her house.... but I guess that would be a nightmare logistically/ media wise, and with keeping the guys a certain distance from Ricki.

Part is true, Trista only really kissed like her top 4 guys but on her date with Ryan in Seattle, and the house boat they did use a hot tub... it did get mighty hot and steamy in there "their words not mine"...Ryan actually jokes about jumpin in the cold water to cool off.... laugh out loud
