A few of us from FORT met Brad Monday night! - Page 6

How fun for you all! I've only been to Austin once, but it was absolutely wonderful. One of the best cities in America for sure. Sounds like y'all had a blast!

Out of curiosity, do you know if Brad has been attending these viewing parites at the Thirsty Nickel every week? It has to be completely bizarre to not only watch yourself on tv, but to watch yourself on tv while you are being watched in person!

THE Brad (my friend and i have taken to call this seasons show THE Brad insted of The Bachelor) seems too good to be true. Glad to hear he is as sweet as he seems.

It's not only terrific to know some of our sleuthers have been able to meet in person, but add to that getting to meet Brad and Friends, well that's just icing on the cake.

I was also curious about the crowd's (specifically Brad's friends) to Bettina's Family from Hell, and remain curious if Brad decided to take Bettina to Cabo strictly to drive her old man wiggy. If so, it's a brilliant move from a man without a college education.

Kudos, Brad.

ETA: Jewelsy is a peach...sweeter than the ones in DeAnna's basket.

Um, I am sorry on #1 question

~ we had a few other people that we had asked but could not attend. We were trying to think of people that we knew that lived in Austin but did not know the hometown of many of the Forters.

#2 ~

Hee hee ~ yes, Jewelsy is sweeter than the peaches in DeAnna's basket!

No, we did not attempt to steal/borrow/beg to see his cell.

He did text during the show to his brother Chad, who could not be at the viewing.

That's really neat that you were able to have such exclusive chill time.

A FoRT question: has Brad checked out FoRT yet?

Brad told us that he has not looked at any message board yet. Maybe after the show we can talk him into coming over here to read us.

Too cute ~ "THE Brad"

I am not sure if he has attended all the viewings. It probably depends on his schedule with ABC and his own work schedule.

That sounds so exciting! I'm so glad you guys had fun!

I just knew Brad was a sweetheart!

How sweet and generous for them to all welcome y'all so lavishly!!

Yeah for good old, down-home, sweet Texas men!

Thanks, Blondie for telling us about your exciting meet with Brad and the others.

Your sleuthing on here is greatly appreciated, but I do think of you first as a friend.

Thanks again, for letting us know about your exciting weekend!

How cool is that!!!

Does he know that we scrutinize every one of his facial features, the Ys and Hs in his blood veins... Rocks, candles, hot pink or light pink bikinis, ...

I wonder if he even wants to know what we all analyze on here...

AND I wonder if any of the girls check us out on here.... ???

if you do.

PS. OF those who went there, did you change you mind on the F1 after your visit?

KareyR2 · 10-31-2007, 06:05 PM

OMG!!!!!

How absolutely thrilling and exciting and thank you all for sharing this wonderful news. I had long suspected by your posts Blondiegal and Jelle that you were in communication with Jason...and so glad that you got to meet each other, and Jason. He just seems great in his posts, and glad you can confirm that. And to think you got to meet Brad as well and view TB with him. WOW!!!

That is incredible. So glad you can report that he is just as wonderful as he seems on TV. That is the one thing across the board of anyone that has ever met Brad, or seen him on TB, agrees on is that he is a just the most wonderful man......(with perhaps the only exception being Bettina's rude family!

) Thank you so much all of you for sharing.

While I've been so frustrated/disgusted by Fleiss this season, it certainly doesn't undermine the pleasure of watching the "real deal," in terms of a bachelor. I'm thrilled you were able to confirm that first hand!

You don't suppose Brad would do a follow-up with the FORT once his obligations to ABC are fulfilled? What fun THAT would be!

Maybe Jason will throw us a few crumbs..after the hoopla dies down......

shoepie · 10-31-2007, 06:21 PM

Texted his brother but not his lady, hmmmmmm. Well, she is in a different time zone so they cannot watch at the same time. :0)

blhstock · 10-31-2007, 06:34 PM

WOW. Our awesome FORT sleuthers have made (dare I say it?) an amazing connection! (drink!) How exciting to get to meet the real person and not the Fleiss character. Glad to hear Brad is as down to earth and sweet as we all thought.

Thanks so much to all of you, BlondieGal (and hubby), Jelle, Grneyedgirl and Cafegirl for representing all of us sleuthers with class and excellence. Well done.

Here is one picture from the night ~ Jason, Brad and one of their business associates. Mighty handsome men!
