The Bachelor

[mrs. c.]

I don't see Jake and Gia at all

[Prissy]

I did watch THE BACHELOR (did not go to orchestra practice) and then I watched my recordings of ALL MY CHILDREN and then ET! 

This was some night for THE BACHELOR.

Sharon,

Here are the numbers for THE BACHELOR with Jason:

25 girls,  then

15

12

 9

 5

 3

 2

 WINNER!!

Jake has gone from 25 to 15 to 12 and started out with 9 tonight.

Gia got the first rose tonight with her one on one date.

Then in the group date with Jessie, Ashleigh, Corrie, Ali, Tenley, and Vienna,  Tenley got the group date rose.

Then as we all saw, neither Ella nor Kathryn got a rose in the two on one date with Jake.  I really think Jake knew Ella would not be his pick, and he didn't want to keep her away from her son any longer.  I don't think he felt a connection with Kathryn.

So, at the rose ceremony, we had 7 girls, two, Gia and Tenley, already with roses.  Of the five left, Jake only gave out roses to Ali, Corrie, and Vienna!

Jessie and Ashleigh went home.  I feel like we never got to see any clips with Jessie;  just a little bit tonight.

Did you notice how both Alshleigh and Jessie turned away from Vienna to say their "good-byes" at the end?  No one would speak to Vienna.  I really wonder what Jake thinks when he is watching the shows now as we all are and seeing things he never saw!! 

So now we have five left, which seems the correct number!  (It kind of makes you wonder why four roses were there at the rose ceremony, if Jake is to end up with five ladies???  Yet, if he had kept, say, Kathryn, and give the extra rose to, say, Jessie,  then we would have seven instead of five! )


+•Ali, 25, an advertising account manager from Williamstown, MA



+•Corrie, 23, a wardrobe consultant from Kissimmee, FL



+•Gia, 26, a swimsuit model from New York, NY



+•Tenley, 25, a college admissions from Newberg, OR



+•Vienna, 23, a marketing representative from Sanford, FL


My favorite two are still the same:  Ali and Tenley.   I think Gia and Lorrie are both nice enough but I don't see that close a connection with Jake.  I think Vienna is bad news just like all the girls feel.  Too bad Jake can't accept that.  But every time someone tries to tell Jake about Vienna, that girl is sent home. It's almost like Jake wants to protect her from the other girls, and the more he hears negative things the closer he feels to Vienna!! Jake may identify with her on being an outcast.  We don't know.   I just hope Ali and Tenley can keep their mouths shut about Vienna!!!

Wonder if this is sort of the "Wes" syndrome all over again Is the show trying to confuse the viewers???  Prissy if all has gone on to plan, did they have the extra rose for drama??? If they are trying to confuse, they've done it with me So Jake has the correct number of women at this point in the show I guess he does.
I agree about camera time with Jessie, tonight was really the first camera time with Jake we saw, don't think they ever kissed or embraced Strange season

[Prissy]

Sharon,

It is odd and after you read Chris' Blog, it seems like Jake was supposed to send home only two women instead of four!!

CHRIS HARRISON'S BLOG, 4TH EPISODE

[mrs. c.]

Thanks for the blog Prissy, still confused

[Prissy]

It's hard to know what to think or believe on this show!!

JAKE'S BLOG, 4TH EPISODE

[mrs. c.]

Thanks Prissy Saw that someone else thought it was the WES syndrome all over again with Vienna

[Prissy]

Chris is supposed to be on Ellen tomorrow, Wednesday.  I will try to catch that.

I actually watched my TiVo recording of some of THE BACHELOR again.  Jake is such a cute guy!   No wonder all of those girls want him.  He really has a connection to Ali, and Tenley, too.  I just hope that Ali doesn't let her feelings for Vienna keep her from Jake.

I just hope Jake is seeing those red flags about Vienna.  And I hope that the producers have asked him to keep Vienna a little longer and that she really isn't Jake's choice, but they really bonded on that bungee jumping date.  Why couldn't it have been Ali on that date with him!!!  That was a crucial time in the show.   

I thought Jake was supposed to be on Ellen at some point but I think I may have missed it.

[mrs. c.]

Prissy, it's funny, anyone I talk to watching the show can't understand Vienna still being there, just like Wes

[Prissy]

I did watch Chris Harrison on Ellen yesterday!!  He said Jake had turned out to be more forceful than they thought he would be, in that he knows what he wants to do and lets lets the producers and Chris know.  He is there to find a wife.

Ellen said she thought Jake was the best bachelor they have ever had on the show, and I know Ellen watches this show 'religiously." 

I just wish I had seen Jake on Ellen.

Missed the show this week; it's recorded tho. 
I was pretty sure Ella would leave.

It's funny, all the girls are against Vienna, and it puts them in a bad light.  I liked Ali a lot, but they are making her come across as a b*tch.  Why??  They aren't giving us enough of Vienna's supposed behavior to figure out why to dislike her!
I dunno WHO to like fo him now!

[Prissy]

Karen,

I felt early on that there was a connection between Ali and Jake, but her focus is so much on how much she dislikes Vienna instead of how much she likes Jake.

I have read a little of what may happen, and I really hope it doesn't.  We will just have to see how it all plays out. 

It does seem like every gal there does not like Vienna.  There has to be something about Vienna to cause these strong reactions.  The ladies were actually upset to see Ella and Kathryn go, but I think there would be lots of celebrating if Vienna were to go.

I have read a little of what may happen, and I really hope it doesn't.  We will just have to see how it all plays out.

I don't see Jake and Gia at all

Well they are both gorgeous people, they do have that in common. 
Other than that 
Trying to remember if Gia has had a one-on-one where we see more of her and Jake interacting.   Did I miss it by not watching this week? 

Prissy, you're right, Jake and Ali sure looked like the perfect couple in the beginning!  Maybe the big secret about Vienna will come out next week.

[karen28]

Look at this!!
Did this already happen??

Jake Threesome

[Prissy]

Karen,

I clicked on the video but just saw Gia with Jake and Vienna sneaking around....no sound so I don't know what was happening.

Gia did have a one on one date with Jake last Monday.  They had hot dogs and marshmallows at a camp fire.  Gia is a beautiful girl and a swimsuit model and I think Jake feels an attraction for her.  She does seem sweet but not real adventuresome.  When raccoons came around the RVs, Gia was the first one to run inside.

Who is in the threesome that you see?

[karen28]

Prissy, it seems like it's a 2-girl, 1-guy date with just Gia, Vienna and Jake.  Jake takes Gia off for a little one-on-one time and of course, Vienna comes looking for them.  Looks like it's some kind of wine cellar??  I guess they haven't had this date yet?
You couldn't hear the dialog?  It's kinda funny to me.  As Jake is pulling Gia away, she tells Vienna that Vienna can eat the rest of Gia's salmon while she's gone.   Dunno, that really struck me funny!
On the "un-funny" side, those dates usually end up with only one rose, and the other goes home.  Tho Jake has shook things up this year and either gave 2 roses, or none at all!!   Wonder what happens??

 They had a bunch of "sneak peek" video clips at that site but most had already happened that I watched.

[Prissy]

Karen,

Now that Jake is down to five girls, which is the usual number for this point in the show, it makes me wonder if some of the things that happened on the last show were set up...... Jake not giving a rose to Ella or Kathryn on the "double" date, and not wanting to hand out one of the roses at the Rose Ceremony.  Of the nine girls, four would have gone home anyway, so it is perplexing! 

With the five left, I imagine he will have more one on one time.  This week, if the show follows tradition, two girls will leave and only three will be left.  We will just have to wait and see what happens.

I did see a clip where Jake is in bed and covers up to his waist.  Vienna goes into his bedroom with a drink and climbs on the bed.  Of course, a camera just happens to follow her in! 

[mrs. c.]

Well boy that's some hot kissing in that clip wih Jake and Gia
Karen, I agree with the line about the salmon what the heck was that???
