A few of us from FORT met Brad Monday night!

[MsFroggy]

Ms Froggy - next time you can come! It was just too much fun!

But, see, I don't have your admirable restraint. You can pretty much guess what would have been the first question out of my big mouth...

[kukla03]

Thank you all for answering my question...I was just so curious how everyone met and arranged the meeting. It's fantastic you all met, had a great time and formed new friendships!

[zen4]

I have to say that Ellen has never "sleuth'd" me... Meaning she has only written me hoping that Brad was happy and asked me to clarify stuff like timelines, what its been like since he got back home, and to clear up rumors. From some people I get a lot of straight forward questions like "Who did he pick?!?!" "Oh, come on tell me. I don't really care, I just want to know!"... (for what its worth, I don't know who he picked. I don't want to know who he picked... That wouldn't be any fun and then i'd have to keep worrying about letting it slip)
So when it became a possibility for them to come for a viewing party I encouraged the idea. I could never guarantee them personal time with Brad when they planned it weeks in advance, but a worse case scenario had them hanging out in one of the best cities in the country watching the bachelor with the bachelor's friends... Thank goodness our schedules lined up. Because of that great time on Monday I am still chuggin' bottles of water to rehydrate myself. (By the way, Jelle, it was Frozen Margaritas with a "floater" of Gran Marnier)

I really, really, really respect and like Blondiegal, CafeGirl, Jelle, and Grneyegrl and even that much more when I saw them be completely respectfull of Brad's privacy and their acceptance of what he can and can't talk about. The cool thing is that I've always liked the show... But, now I LOVE the show from this vantage point. Sitting with the Ladies of FORT I finally found some people who could hang with me in my analyzation of the show. (and not think i'm weird for doing it) Despite their obvious affection for the show and their attempt to predict the outcome, they never tried to trick Brad or anything into spilling the beans!!!

It was a great time

So Babyface since you LOVE the show, how about we nominate you as the next Bachelor. As this season is coming to an end ,it will be hard for us to let go of our favorite Bachelor ever, but would love to have another Texan gentleman who is just as genuine and real as Brad. Blondie gal, for whom I have the utmost respect, was impressed with you, the other girls had only nice things to say about you,so you get my vote to be the next Bachelor and we get to watch another awesome season that will drive crazy for sure but one that we will enjoy anyway. Think about it .

ITA Zen...Jason, in that picture you are hot, absolutely gorgeous, and *if* you are single, and anything like Brad's gracious, personable and wonderful demeanour, (which it would appear you are by everything Blondiegal, jelle, Greeneyedgrl etc are reporting), I can not imagine a better Bachelor for the next season. We should start a petition to nominate you to ABC...but of course it would all depend on your marital status. And of course, if you are indeed married, if your wife would let you. And you never answered my question about an increase in orders for bottles of OUZO!!! Has that happened?!? I think perhaps it has. OUZO shots on the house for everyone for the Finale, I would presume! Thanks

So poor Brad was indeed the 5th wheel, but not anymore .

[QUOTE=BlondieGal;2640716;]Actually it was watching the hometown visits that I had that impression.

Blondie, just curious if it was the poignant goodbye between Brad and Deanna after her HT date that "sealed the deal" for you? That did it for me.

Now I'm REALLY upset...I missed margaritas WITH Gran Marnier????

[JoLena]

Did any of you glas take notice of Brads face for any expressions while the show was airing? Was the show on with the volume up or off? I know in some bars , you can view the picture , but the voice is mute.... Did he seem like a Happy man ,that might be in LOVE?
