Wow, Randal, cool recap! Thanks! You should blog. How do you know the rose was pre-arranged? Was that just a logical assumption from how it ended? What special conditions did T get?

I quit watching The B. shows after Jen Schefft. What does it mean to "pull a Charlie"?

Pull a Charlie - Charlie refused to pick a favorite after filming. Dated both until the end of TV series and did a FRC live.

Why is everyone so upset about no news with Lorz & Jenn? The show only ended a month ago and both have jobs.
Jenn & Andrew, Mer & Ian, Jesse & Jessica, Mary & Byron, Charlie & Sarah were all free of schedules/jobs to gad around and do whatever publicity Fleiss wanted. Travis had a contract and a residency to complete, and Lorz and Jenn have REAL jobs.

Real jobs and real lives-- after their contractual obligations are fulfilled. For all we know, they may choose to divulge nothing at that point. I would.

Absolutely. If it were me, the press could take a...

The only fly in that ointment is that Lorenzo's business is somewhat dependent on press he gets. So even if Jen is not compelled, he might be.

A logical assumption, because Sarah lived in Nashville and could be dumped without the slightest disruption to her life, and she gave the impression that she was in it to "win the pageant" and not because of any great passion for Travis. Apparently, Travis got exemptions from most of the usual ABC promotional requirements. The FRC was the most wooden, fake performance by both of them that I've ever seen.

With a Bachelor more suited to the Paris environment, it could have been a great show. There hasn't even been a good show since Byron's - which had a happy ending and was also hysterically funny.

Ahh. Isn't that what Jen S. did, making Jerry wait until the FRC? I guess she only left one guy hanging vs. two.

Good question. I guess there might be a sentiment that two people in love could not stand to be apart for so long. Or maybe it's how do you explore your love/friendship at a distance. I dated my dh long distance for several months, and even though there were a few states between us, we made the haul every weekend, except when snowed in. It was difficult. I guess the romantics are hoping for the "I can't live without you" variety of passion.

This perception coupled with the fuel from media sources, is probably why many feel there is little to no romantic relationship with Jen/Lor.

Personally, my husband and I did the long distance relationship, first dating and then married for years. It takes A LOT of committment, patience and communication! But it CAN work.

I suspect we will see lots of visits soon if they are working it. Otherwise--well...oops

True. I keep meaning to ask: What does your signature line about the rose and Erica mean?

I think if I had fallen for The Bachelor and he said, "Please move to NYC. I know it's a risk, but I really think we can make this work, and we need to see how we do together on a daily basis," I would do it. The fact that this hasn't happened makes me think that L hasn't asked or she hasn't fallen for him. So, at the end of the school year, she is going to have to ask herself if she still has strong enough feelings to risk that move. Of course, you can have strong feelings long distance, as you and I both know from personal experience. But it does take a lot of work and you need time together. If they don't spend more time together, the obvious question is going to be, do I invest myself in a relationship with someone local with whom I also have chemistry or is this still worth uprooting my whole life? I think L was always looking for someone who would move, since he asked the question and also seemed turned off by Lisa already owning a house (if not for other reasons, lol). It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Boy, I'm with you there on that, RandalR.

I still have hopes Byron and Mary will "tie the knot"..but Byron still was the most down to earth bachelor this show has had YET.

Go to the AOL BACHELOR board and there is a report there by someone who has a kid in her class that was put there this morning. Interesting indeed. May be gossip or not but Jen is still wearing her ring and have that big smile she always has on. Seems she will be leaving friday for NJ and coming back Saturday night with Lorenzo for Christmas Floridan style.
