She has too many connections to remotely be able to project what she knows, and how she'd play that info on air. She's an entertainer, whose show is syndicated by the same company (Warner Bros) that distributes the Bach to ABC. So, like ABC Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel, she can be persuaded to promote anything they want.

My cynical side (and yes, I do have another side!) says that she is frequently mentioning the show to aid the dismal, dismal ratings which are sliding as the season wears on, not climbing.

Fate of show will hinge no doubt on whether trend reverses impressively from HT Dates through Finale (which will probably include Women Tell All gap filler, given the characters assembled this year).

Really, only Phase Two (all one on one time) is worth watching. If you tuned in at that point, you would not have missed anything important.

And your common sense would not be all jaded with the filler junk from the first crappy phase: Girl on Girl fights, and Stupid Human Tricks, and whining about I need one on one time. And the date ideas are just terrible. It's C-grade entertainment.

If someone here is a friend of her's on Myspace, perhaps they can ask for clarification, but that is how I took it ~ how it related to her experience on the show.

Ditto - to me, that's all it says.

That's how I took it too. Particularly, since last season the viewers were set up to think that there would be a F1 and there wasn't.

ETA: It was definitely a joke

Right! I think we all need a geography lesson - Kazakhstan is in ASIA...which is like a totally different CONTINENT!!!! And of course, they have high tea in WimbleTon!!!

Ellen always talks about the show...not just this season. She loves it.

Speaking of Blob...did anyone notice him singing backups to Teri Hatcher last night on Idol gives back He's such a reality TV whore.

Kristine's Bach experience is written up in the Charlotte paper today. Not exciting clues or anything but FYI...

-she packed about 20 pairs of shoes
-they had hair and makeup people the first night
-she is a huge NE Pats fan and Matt had no clue who Tom Brady is (sealed the no deal for her)
-she had no interest in moving to GB
-she roomed with Shayne
-she let Mat know that they probably weren't well matched
-"I wasn't into Matt. And that's OK. Not everybody's going to be."
-"He's a really great person....it wasn't realisitic for me to be dating this guy and getting engaged. It just wasn't going to happen."

Yes, that was so funny! And the drummer was the cop from Heroes. And it was great seeing "Chase" from House on the fiddle!

Did she talk about it through Brad's season? I just remember her talking about it at the END of the season after Brad had dumped both Jenni and DeAnna at the FRC. I didn't catch every one of her shows, so I might have missed it, but I don't remember her talking about it throughout the season.

I think so, but I know she talked alot about Andy's season and several others before that.
