I don't ever get spoilers, but I'm probably not on the internet as much. Yeah, it doesn't get interesting until there are less women. There are too many now and not very many left last night.

I was surprised at how many he had left at the end.

This season has the most girls ever. I think the number was 29 before the rose ceremony.

by **Glittersisgld** Tue Jan 02, 2018 10:41 pm

Yes, it was.

I agree that the first episode is tedious. Everyone trying to one up each other with their first impression. Tia from Weiner Arkansas didn’t impress me with her initial comment about hoping he doesn’t already have a small weiner. Really? First thing out of your mouth?

We already have our first villain in Chelsea...and apparently a back up villain in Krystal. You can never help but wonder if they come to the show with a determination to be a bitch or if they are prompted by the producers to be one. It is kind of disturbing though that this season’s standout villain is a mother. Just makes you wonder what kind of things they teach their kids.

Bekah is a bit too young for Arie at just 22 years old. Maquel, the photographer and I think one other girl are not much older at just 23. Most are at least 25 and up. Arie just may be ready to start thinking about settling down, jury is still out on that, but if he is then girls that young are not. I don’t care what they say. I always have my doubts about some people’s true reasons for going on this show.

All in all though I think Arie will make a good Bachelor. I do like that he didn’t run out and get the gray taken out of his hair in an attempt to look younger. He is definitely a good looking guy. You have to give him that.

They said 8 left the show. It seemed like less.

by **Lesallee** Wed Jan 03, 2018 12:11 pm

You know what astounded me about the eliminations? The woman getting the boot who sobbed and tearfully declared how worthy of love she is. Wow, lady, you were only there 5 minutes!

by Keepthefaith1960(rkc1960) Wed Jan 03, 2018 12:32 pm

Lesallee, I thought the same thing when that girl got eliminated and sobbed on and on. They should have cut that off instead of airing the whole thing. It just made her look pathetic. She mentioned that she felt like she let her family down in some way that she got eliminated. Huh? Why would that be? That you weren’t on tv longer? I would be upset that I spent thousands of dollars on clothing to go on the show (which it’s been reported that that is what most spend of their own money) only to be eliminated the first day. I hope they leave the tags on. Lol

I forgot to mention that it was very telling of the type of woman Chelsea is to go back for a second time with Arie after that one girl mentioned she kissed him. The girl when asked if there was tongue involved she said that there wasn’t because that would have been too bold for a first kiss. Not only did Chelsea steal him away again knowing that her main goal was to get a kiss but she definitely stuck her tongue in his mouth. With the exception of Courtney Robertson, there has never been a girl villain that has ever made it to the end with the lead. Too many girls speak up when feeling disrespected.

by **Lesallee** Wed Jan 03, 2018 1:58 pm

Ahh yes, Courtney. I hated her but I will admit she played Ben Flajnik like a well hooked fish. She lead him around by his little dingle dangle right from the start. Vienna also made it to FR and she was definitely in the villain category.

I think Chelsea is a rather insipid villainess; she is going to have to get a whole lot nastier to pull into the top Bach bitch rankings.

by **Glittersisgld** Wed Jan 03, 2018 2:20 pm

I almost forgot about Vienna. I disliked her more than Courtney.

I agree. Krystal seemed like she was trying to be like Emily. Maybe she thinks since Arie loved Emily so much that if she were like Emily then she would capture Arie's heart. One of the previews looks like the girls are calling out Krystal for being fake.

I think Arie might be one of the best bachelors ever. I'll see how I feel about that later when I see how many girls he sleeps with or how he treats them.

by **moon0627** Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:27 pm

I finally got around to watching the recording of The Bach ... some very beautiful women - too many Laurens - LOL Smile

I was grossed out by Chelsea's tongue and suck face on Arie but apparently he liked it since he gave her the first impression rose. The previews make it look like Arie is ready to propose to someone whose boyfriend shows up ? Shocked

by **therealdfshary** Thu Jan 04, 2018 2:06 pm

Always drama---What would the bachelor be without drama??? LOL!

by Keepthefaith1960(rkc1960) Thu Jan 04, 2018 4:02 pm

Don’t ya just love the editing? They are making it look like the boyfriend shows up to propose to the one that Arie is about to propose to....but...from previous experience with this show it is never how it looks. I’m pretty sure that this will happen at some other point during the season and that the finale won’t be as dramatic as all that. Lol

I can see it coming Fairy - did you notice on the Bach web page, Bekah (sp?) is the only women they did not post her age? ABC is gonna induce the other women to gang up and Bully her for being too young. Probably a few of them, like the Single Mom, are gonna go crying to Arie and blabbin' she's not right for him. Blah, Blah, Blah..

Wanna bet there's a 1-on-1 date with Bekah and Single Mom / complainer ??

The friggin Producers set people up for fights and confrontations just to create drama and it's getting old and predictible.

by **therealdfshary** Thu Jan 04, 2018 9:03 pm

There are many girls 23-25 so 22 isn't far behind. Personally I think the girls were picked for someone other than Ari. Don't keep calling Chelsea "the single mom" as I was one and it's not easy. It sounds like you are beating up on her because she is a single mom.

by **Glittersisgld** Thu Jan 04, 2018 9:12 pm

I think the girls were picked for Ari because they seem better than usual and they knew he would be popular. I thought the guys they picked for Rachel weren't good enough.

by **Glittersisgld** Thu Jan 04, 2018 9:14 pm

Well, anyone else on the show could come up with an excuse as to why they should get more time. Chelsea was the just first to come up with an excuse.

by shayvo Sat Jan 06, 2018 3:18 pm

I am excited to watch this season for the first times in many seasons. I had pretty much given up on this show. I really like Arie as the Bachelor and happy they have a more mature man. He is still a very good looking, sexy guy I don't care if whomever he chooses, if he chooses anyone, leads to marriage. He makes for good TV and I'm good with that. He has A LOT of women to choose from. No one has impressed me all that much yet...still too many to weed through. Let the games begin! Love

by **peebeeb** Mon Jan 08, 2018 8:37 pm

I will admit that I was not a fan of Arie the first time, but I am liking him a whole lot now.

Oh crap, who got sent home?

Was watching and fell asleep during the RC.

by **Glittersisgld** Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:04 am

Three women who you probably don't know. I didn't know them.

by **Glittersisgld** Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:06 am

I wonder if they should leave the women who have roses out of the cocktail party. It just seems ridiculous when they take time away from those who don't have roses.

by **Glittersisgld** Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:09 am

I know they haven't shown much of her, but I like Ashley. It was funny when Bibiana told Krystal off. I think Bekah is 22 going on 32.

by **Babs2147** Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:46 am

I'm enjoying Arie, much more than the last four leads. I like
that he treats all the ladies with respect and makes them feel comfortable.
The only lady who doesn't act desperate or catty is Bekah M. And he
seems to have a good rapport with her, always laughing and looking
happy when their together. Hope they have a one-on-one soon.
