I'm not sure how anyone can form an opinion of many of the girls from what they have seen on the show. I watched the first episode [i]before[i] I came to the boards, because I knew my opinion could be swayed. I haven't seen enough of Melissa to see an immature side...I have seen the immature sides to Megan, Erika, Shannon...in which the edits have A LOT to do with.

I liked Melissa from the moment she stepped out of the limo because in the interview it said she was a Cowboys cheerleader...totally a selfish reason for me to want her to win, because I'm just that kind of DC fan!

The drama with Megan and Erika tonight kind of turned the tables on Erika in my opinion. She came across just as nasty as Megan did on the first episode. I think Jason sees them for who they are and will make the best decision for him and Ty. These girls will self destruct.

Self desctruct? It's all producer driven people. You really don't believe Jason wanted to talk to Shannon more about how much she knows about him do you? Or that Megan wasn't goaded into pointing out to Erica she over heard her...

No, I don't believe Jason was thrilled to sit and hear more about himself, and it's probably true that Megan was coaxed into the confrontation with Erica...I guess they are all really good actresses, because I truly believed tonight that Erica showed her true colors, as Megan did last week.

I think there is a lot of scripted scenes, but I do believe we do actually see some true emotions, and real personalities. That's just my opinion. You gotta be able to sell it...

Yes, we do see some true emotions. However, we get to see what they want us to see.

Yes, totally apparent that producers were egging that one on and from watching previous season's of the Bachelor/Bachelorette..it seems like they gotta keep one to 2 people there for drama and ratings purposes. True, this can knock out people truly there for the right reasons. ABC just loves ratings and tries to get them anyway possible.

Having someone know that much about me, would freak me out i.e, Shannon. It would be flattering to a point but wow!!! She must have lived on his MySpace, got a P.I., or like Googled and made note cards of everything Jason 101 and studied them like for a test or something.

I sincerely hope that all this season was for nothing and the notion of Jason picking DeAnna again is just simply a rumor. I honestly hope he has better sense than that. **Crosses fingers**!!!!

I have a question and not sure where to post it...so if this isn't right...delete it...
Did all the girls coming on the show this time KNOW it was Jason? I read that Stephanie actually wrote a letter to Jason's dad...Obviously Shannon knows EVERYTHING about Jason...

My thought is that all the girls should have known what kind of guy Jason is. Very laid back, easy going, loves his kid, etc...I would think they might use that to their advantange more so than a few of the girls are. Stephanie seems to be working it, Melissa (what little we've seen) seems to work it, Nikki has...

Just for conversation purposes...

I think the majority of the women have said that they knew that Jason was going to be the bachelor. Not absolutely positive on that but I do think that they have pretty much all said that. However, last season for DeAnna the producers made it sound as if all of the guys came on specifically to meet her but we found out later that it wasn't the case. Some of the guys had been recruited without knowing who DeAnna was, if I am not mistaken.

I sort of wonder if Lauren's insecurity was either producer encouraged or her own "ploy" to more or less "pull a Tessa" - it seems like TPTB may have seen his attraction/interest in her the first night, and then may have thought that this more needy version of what we saw with Tessa (and obviously we know where that landed her) might be worth a re-do. Not that she may not have really felt that way to a degree, bu tI wonder if Lauren or the producers had the idea to focus on it more (and, whatever the case, to show it in several different scenes)

atem · 01-13-2009, 12:52 AM

I can't believe Lauren makes it past episode 3.

After watching the show tonight, I have to say that I think they should eliminate more women from the initial shows, and give us more time with fewer in the coming weeks. It is a total waste for them to keep 15 women, when several aren't invited to go on a date at all. Isn't the point of the show to get to know all of the remaining women?

I think Jason could have easily made the cut tonight from 15 to 10, with no problem. If they showed more quality time with the final 6 or 8, they could keep the same number of shows, but make them more meaningful.
Okay...just had to air my frustration.
