Notice the first Q and A and “sweet” meaning the “kiss of death”.....my BF noticed that; he said Ryan is gone as soon as she made that comment!

Who knows who will win; probably Jerry.

THE BACHELORETTE III 02/15/05
Q. I don’t believe you were surprised to see Ryan go home.
A. No, I was almost certain he was not going all the way. One good piece of advice to all single men and women out there; There are many different adjectives someone whose love you are pursuing can bestow upon you, but I advise you to give it up if all that comes to their mind is to say you are “sweet”.
Q. All right A.T., give me a few examples of more exciting adjectives.
A. I don’t know Wendy but sweet is the last adjective that crossed my mind the first time I say my present day wife and we had a conversation, and I believe she IS a sweet person. It’s just a dud adjective that sounds OK for a friend or a relative but not for someone who is supposed to produce a meltdown of your little gray cells whenever you lay your eyes upon them.
Q. LOL, I’ll keep that one in mind. Tell me the truth, who do you see winning?
A. Before we get into that I wish to say this series has not impressed me at all. It has been geared more towards reminiscing about Jen’s relationship with Andrew than anything else. We even have him coming to next week’s episode, an uncomfortable situation for all involved! I am still trying to figure out what made him agree to do it.
Q. All right, let’s talk about JP and Jerry.
A. I actually have nothing new to say about either one. JP looks like he is going to fall asleep whenever he is with Jen, and there is no romance anywhere to be seen when he and Jen are together. Jen sounds like a broken record; all she seems to be able to say is how mature and successful JP appears to be, considering he is so young.
Jerry is another one who does not behave like he is too enthusiastic about spending the rest of his life with Jen or anyone else for that matter. Please don’t tell me that is how modern day couples interact with each other when they are falling in love!
Q. Don’t you think it may all be in the editing?
A. I can concede the editing may fool us when it comes to guessing who Jen is going to choose in the end, but no amount of trick editing can make Jen’s kissing scenes with both finalist seem so boring and emotionless. As much as I try to look for it I do not see any tenderness between Jen and either man when they kiss.
It is possible this last observation may be meaningless if we consider the possibility Jen may not be an affectionate person, once she get past the kisses, hugs, and habit of patting men on the back when they try to become affectionate. In other words, if Jen is not a passionate woman, she could be head over heels in love with either man and appear, on the outside, like she was going to fall asleep as soon as she was able to find a “comfy spot”. Needless to say, I don’t know her well enough to say anything for certain.
Q. What’s your opinion of the rumors Wendell may be the next Bachelor?
A. I like Wendell but do not believe he would make an interesting Bachelor.
Q. Next week, the Men Tell All. Are you looking forward to it?
A. Like a large number of viewers, I am curious to know what Andrew & Jen will talk about, but am not holding my breath for anything exciting to happen.

I'm thinking Jerry too but also that the relationship will last about 3 months. I knew he was gone, but I still cannot believe she got rid of Ryan!!! She kept going on and on about how she wanted a great communicator and how he answered her questions and she knew exactly where she stood with him and that Jerry never answered anything and seemed VERY uncomfortable with being put on the spot and being asked direct questions. I was shocked at how defensive he became when she was asking simple questions. And then that BS after the time they got to have alone when she said that "he really opened up and put it out there" - not that I saw unless there was something he said that we did not. I think she is dumb for eliminating Ryan and keeping Jerry but I am not her. Whatever. I have lost a lot of respect for her.

That’s the consensus on the ABC message boards; she contradicts everything she says she wants and no wonder she’s single; a typical 20 something who goes for the bad boy! Ryan would have been a great choice; her loss and someone else’s gain.

I agree- getting rid of Ryan was a mistake.

But I don't think she's on there really looking for love. I think she's looking for money and if love happens to come along, then that's great too. Look at the two people left. Jerry who has an art gallery or whatever it is he is claiming to do. And JP flashing his money around when she went to visit his family. Ryan was "just" a school teacher. That's why I think she got rid of him.

I remember when Andrew Firestone was the bachelor and it was between Jen and the other chick. The consensus was the other chick was just after Andrew Firestone for his money. It looks like Jen is that way too.

Just my 2 cents...

I personally don't think Jerry has a lot of money. He is a fame whore who is an "art gallery director". He doesn't own an gallery himself and obviously does not come from money. He is the one that has been looking for a reality show girlfriend where ever he can find her - someone from the Real World and someone from Big Brother and now the Bachelorette. When he showed up on RW, he was a security guard at a jewelry store or something so I can't see that he came into a big windfall since then.

I have no idea what she wants. I don't think she's really a gold-digger otherwise she would have stayed with richer than God Andrew. I think she is just looking for a hot hookup and Jerry fits the bill. But she is a very dumb girl - she kept saying how she picks the wrong guys and how wonderful Ryan is because he talks to her and communicates and she is really looking for a guy that communicates. So what does she do? She picks JP who can only seem to talk about work and how much money he has and Jerry (AKA Mr. Smooth Talker) who comes up with all these stupid, slick lines, doesn't communicate at all and seems to be looking for a hot girl to launch his acting career.

Oh and one thing that I have also noticed that has been mentioned on other boards is the way she kisses these guys! They are very chaste, non-passionate, closed-mouth kisses. It seemed like any time a guy would seem to go for a little open mouth, she would slam hers shut. I am a HUGE fan of kissing and kisses like that are boring to me. I don't want a guy to slobber all over my face, but little closed mouth pecks just don't cut it! I have not gone out with a guy again b/c he was a boring kisser. Maybe she is not comfortable doing this on TV or maybe she is just not a big PDA person, but I think this is pretty telling about how she really feels about these guys. With Mere and Ian, they couldn't keep their hands off each other and were very passionate. With Mary and Byron, you could just see how excited they were when they got together and they were very touchy-feely and kissy too. I think when you are really feeling a connection with someone, you don't care where you are and I just don't see that in Jen.

I agree with you; she lacks passion with any of these men and trust me that fades more over time or so they say so I’d rather have it super strong in the beginning. You need to crave your SO and get excited at least early on when it’s new! I’m still in disbelief she had a choosing of the men on the show and this is what she’s left with.
