The Bachelorette
Wow. I had a feeling but wasn’t sure that she wasn’t with either guys. Part of me wonders if she found out Jerry was on other reality shows and that is why she changed her mind and to spare embarrassing Jerry she said they’d be better off as friends. Or, she was really into this for the publicity and had no intentions of finding a lifemate. May e she is dating someone else like her boss?
Either way, history now dictates she has commitment issues in my opinion. John Paul looked really good at the live show last night and what a gentleman. Jerry handled himself with class and Jenn was just a mess, all over the place.
At least Trysta and Ryan are really in love and it was romantic and fun to see their proposal. I believe Ian and Meredith really wanted it to work. Byron and Mary seem in love as well.
But this, this was worse than Bob!
Oh well, time to turn in my bachelorette hat! Next seasons promos looked like a frat boy trying to get laid by trashy chicks – no thanks!

ok devils advocate. (first - i was SHOCKEd watching it)
she really didn't see herself spending the rest of her life with either. I have to say that not only took a lot of self confidence but also honesty with herself and the two guys.
She is SO right that you just "know" "feel it" when the person is right.
I really think she is still recovering from Firestone - that took a large toll on her. She said many many times how she didn't want this time around to turn out like it did with firestone.
And yes she is NEEDY. In the respect she needs a man who will be there. Firestone is very involved with his life - and she feels "ignored" or did I think. (I have met Firestone btw, he lives in SF - and I frequent some of the bars he goes to) He is actually pretty nice. but all the girls adore him ;) and hes kinda short. i was towering over him.
But honestly with Firestone, I think things would've worked down the line w/ someone who stuck by him - and he would have eventually cut some of work traveling down to spend time w/ his love. But for the first year or two, I think he needed someone who could do their own thing.
At any rate, next season's bachelor - YUCK. Def agree it looks like a frat boy hooking up
Very sad to me the whole thing.... Committment issues, no one can really say, everyone ONLY got what producers wanted to see from the bachelorette. But why is it so bad to be picky and want to get married once? Esp after a broken divorce? I dont think shes wrong there.
The show's producers have lost sight of what makes people want to watch. By picking these famewhores as their cast members, they're getting away from what made the show popular in the first place.
What made it cool was that the people seemed normal enough- sure, both the men and the women are far more physically gorgeous than your average person- but they seemed normal enough that the viewer could identify with them and root for them and cheer them on.
But by trying to get folks who are more and more "spectacular" for some reason- Andrew Firestone has a famous name, Jesse Palmer is an NFL quarterback- they are moving away from just plain old, ordinary people with ordinary jobs living ordinary lives.
If ABC really wants to get good ratings, they'll stick with the better formula- get really good looking people, but NORMAL ones, not media whores.
Jen is a headcase and the one guy is right- she's the woman who winds up 32 and dreadfully unhappy because she is always shopping for the BBD. She is looking for them to satisfy something inside of herself instead of being happy herself and just wanting to enjoy that and share that with someone else.
Even her dad seemed to understand that about her- he said a guy needs to be in control without being controlling. (Bad news, Dad- sooner or later, anyone who plays the "in control" role winds up being labeled as controlling.) This indicates that he thinks she needs/wants something outside of herself to make her happy.
A hilarious rundown of the final show... warning, it's fairly risque and some (no, make that many) people are liable to be offended by it:

That's why I don't believe she was ever serious about finding a lifetime partner or marriage. I kept saying throughout the series how I wasn't impressed with the guys she chose especially since she was able to help cast these guys! You'd think after dating Andrew that would set the bar high. I figured I'd see a lot of young hot articulate professionals looking for marriage in the suburbs...
She does have commitment issues regardless if she found out about Jerry and his reality TV days prior to them meeting.
I also don't get how she has no sparks with JP yet she sure kissed him a lot and it sure looked like sparks to me.
She'll be single a long time; Andrew was the best thing she'll ever have and the rest of these guys she's dating will chew her up and spit her out. Rumor has it she's dating her boss Bill and he has a reputation as being a major player in Chicago, some would call him "slime" he's that bad!
Oh well, what a dispointment and waste of time.
I got this off the abc board; makes sense:
"I know Jason Cerebone who is one of many producers on the show. What he FINALLY dished after last night was over.
He said Jen was obviously infatuated with Jerry and wanted to give them a chance, although she immediately said it was going to be a "big leap of faith".
They were scheduled for 3 rendevous dates/meetings during the 6 week production hiatus. After the first one, things seemed to be going well, although it was basically a release of physical tension/attractions.
During the second rendevous in early December, they began to actually "talk" about who they really are, what their goals are etc. Jen flat out questioned Jerry's motives after seeing some of the production dailies and hearing the gossip about his past. Truth be told, he flat out told her his primary motives in moving to LA was to in fact develop a acting career, although that had no bearing on his decision and motives to do the bachelorette. Jen could not let that go. She was convinced that he used the show to his advantage and coupled with the fact that Jerry's gallery job was nothing more than working at the front desk and on overseeing the display crew (the ones who hang the art on the walls for shows) - she thought he was a phony. Many insiders felt it was more an issue of the fact that he has never really held a real job and is not a career or money focused.
They mutually agreed to not bad mouth one another for the sake of their potential career goals. This took place in mid-January. This also explains Jen getting slightly frustrated with Jerry's acting surprised.
Another thing that Jason said was that all 6 producers knew the outcome as did Chris Harrison and this was ironically the most difficult finale to keep under wraps due to the fact that Jen started behaving like a single girl in Chicago as early as Decemeber. And also was more visible than past bachelorettes to media questions. "
i know Jen put herself in public scrutiny when she went on this show - but give the girl break. Shes not someone Id be friends with but Ive gotta stand up for a person who just did not feel it with anyone on the show.
so u all said, SHE picked the 26 men, But here we are on an OLD board and going thru MANY ppl.That to me is the same darn thing, is it not> ?? how many ppl have found love besides CGUN and SP??/ Exactly
timing is everything and her right man could be a person who would never think of going on a tv show, give her a break - and the only reason I say this is bc u never ever should judge a person unless u walk a billion miles in their shoes
its hard for me to remember ALOT - but its true.
alsoi get im TOO picky man times over.andi start to 2nd guess myself. then remember i know what im looking for and i wont settle for less. nor will i marry someone just bc society thinks i should.... i know Im killin the smack talkin which is fun - but i feel for her cuz i really believe she wanted to do the show i n hopes to find a hubby.... it just didnt work out
Why would it be so unusual that would be actors show up on Reality TV shows? In general these shows are good for their initial run -- then they morph into really odd parodies of themselves.
Think about Survivor and how good the original cast was because they cast (semi) normal people. Think about MTV and the RealWorld when they actually cast people who did appear like they lived in the real world. Look at American Idol and how funny the first season they showed audition tapes was. Fast forward a few seasons and what do you have? Models, Actors and attention seekers. Very FEW real people.
