I have to say D handled it a little better, but then went on the to the FRC blunder. Everyone who goes on this show eventually gets a bad edit. (except I don't recall Andrew F getting any bad edit)
Kirsten took the blunt for that whole show. She was edited as the temptress, the vixen, the witch of the house, the woman who can't get along with other women. However, she was the ultimate "man's lady" in that she was whatever he needed her to be: beautiful, cater to his every whim, laugh at his jokes, etc., and he was absolutely crushed when his brother told him that she had not completely broken up with her boyfriend at home. Andrew cried.

Jen was edited as almost an angel in contrast to the vixen. We saw no negative on her. She was sweetness to his wonderfulness.
That was the set-up: Mr. Wonderful and his F2: vixen and angel

Huh? Last 2 women he thought he had a life time connection with - His marriage which lasted a couple years and Deanna..

If I was him, I would be questioning myself.

I thought the question was, why did he get so spooked about what Natalie said.. If he could 'read' then her comments would be old news, not something he would immediately ask multiple women about as soon as he got home..

Re: What's up with that edit??!!

I agree Kirsten was the vixen! lol that was my favorite series. As far as Natalie, they totally set that up to cause drama, the pulling the rug out from Natalie when he had the rose in his hand and then her saying there were much worse girls left in the house. Then the whole cocktail party being about who were the bad seeds in the house and that Jason had to rat them out one way or the other. I think this season just wouldn't have any drama unless they really pushed it. Jason is just too ordinary and most of the women just not that exciting. Producers are having to set a lot of it up, not that its that unusual LOL

I've asked that question myself.

I don't know, but I'm guessing that he kept mentioning that he didn't want to send a woman who could be his wife away. I think that he seemed most concerned about Megan. I don't have proof though, so it may just be my perception.

You're right, he does seem to be most concerned about Megan and he does keep mentioning he doesn't want to send the one that could 'be his wife'.

It seems he is not trusting his gut, and by getting multiple opinions he is confusing the issue even more.

I do wonder why he agreed to be on the show - On the last show there was only one woman for him to read and he was shocked by her decision. Now he has to try and read many women at once, and they are confirming that he isn't seeing the 'true' character of the women. Yikes!

But, I also think he cares more about making the best decision for himself in this artificial setting, than he does about his image, or about keeping the producers happy. Regarding the kissing, I think he's trying to spare the women's feelings when they pursue a kiss (Nikki! eek... Stephanie), than he's trying to be a horn dog. JMO. Though he should probably keep a mental counter in his head at those cocktail parties!
It is all in the Kiss! If I was in that situation I would kiss all those men too! I would want to know if they are good kissers because I LOVE KISSING! Bad kiss no second date or in this case NO ROSE!

Re: What's up with that edit??!!

i do feel badly for the edit Jason is getting. He's probably one of the most sincere bach's ever, but he's following the direction of producers far too much.. He does appear to be a people pleaser and having to not offer a rose to Natalie was probably very hard for him and it turned out badly....

the whole "mean girls" drama was intended to stir the pot and boy did it work!!! Wasn't it Molly that said Natalie named names, and we know she didn't since jason needed to find out who the 'mean girls' were.

The editing is horrendous, for our F3 girls I've yet to see anything that resembles a love story - right now Stephanie looks like the girl to beat.

He didn't go with his 'gut' with Jillian in giving her the rose the first time and had a great time. He did with Natalie and look what happened.

So, Jason is totally confused and is floundering. I wonder why he didn't ask Jillian about what Natalie said and asked Naomi and Lauren.

I am laughing! I didn't watch the Bachelor until Trista, so I missed B1 and B2; however, I caught B1 and B2 when they came on the cable last summer.

Mercy! Things have really changed since the first Bachelor. His F1 was one lucy goosy, hoochie mama. She stood right up and said to the camera, "I like sex." Since that would now be an F25 edit, I just about fell off my chair.
Then they went on to show him pour chocolate on her during their fantasy suite time, and I thought "Lawsy"

Re: What's up with that edit??!!

why didn't Jason ask Nikki? she had already told him there were girls there that were not right for him. He said he trusted her so why not ask her since he already trusted her? he put lauren in a bad spot
