He's Jake Pavelka, he's 32, he's from Texas...he's a pilot. Don't ask me why I'm watching this thing, I think because it's on Hulu and I've watched everything else. I also have a thing about following through once I start. I'm not a quitter. I also don't see anything inherently wrong with looking for love on a reality show, though I think a little part of you couldn't deny you liked being a pseudo celebrity. And I'm not against that either, if it suits you and you're over 18, go for it.*
The show makes me admit women are really good at making up romance in our heads. Admit it, we are. We've all had it bad for some guy and imagined the day he looks into our eyes and takes our hand and says those words..well, Jake HAS to, because it's the point of the damn show. So, in a way, the women are bound to get what they want. At least, some of them. Dream dates, dream clothes, dream settings, romance abounding..a fairy tale for a temporary fairy Princess.

The problem with this one is..I'm just not that good at making up things, unless I have something to work with. Jake is good looking, he's man, not a boy, and he has that universal hunkiness (that's a word, right?) that appeals to a wide range of women. I had a penchant for pilots in my hey day, and he's a bit of a dare devil, which is hot. But, damn, I've watched 5 two part episodes so far and the man has said nothing funny. Not one witty witticism has come out of him. Not one laugh. Uhh, sure, he's sweet, but, sweet is NOT sexy. I'm sorry, it's not. These chicks must be a lot better at head fantasy than I am.

Also, he's made it clear, he's looking for a wife..not just love. He wants him a damn wife as soon as possible. I think he'd get married on the show. He's sent two women home, when he only had to send one home..twice! Because he knows in his heart, they weren't his wife. Jeez louise, desperation..also not hot. Is it just me??

Wanna talk about the "villain" Vienna? You know he has to keep her, the director won't let her go home 'till the end, she adds controversy..and that's something this episode of The Bachelor lacks. The dude is milque toast. What are you gonna do? Vienna has the worst extensions since Kate Gossein and I think she's cross eyed. Radar has a gossip piece about her today. Sigh, I'm not a quitter, I'm not! But, at this point, I think I'm hanging around to see which woman gets stuck with this dud. I hope they didn't sign any marriage requirement forms.

I do not watch these shows since the "Who wants to Marry a Millionaire" fiasco. Remember Darva Conger?
I think I do..I'll have to look it up.. I don't watch them all, but, got caught up in this one.
Wow, this guy is delicious! I have to say though that eventually I would get bored if he had no sense of humor. Looks attract but it's personality that makes a relationship. Or is that just for women?
He's looking for a wife from a cast of reality tv wanna be stars? Really......he desrves what he gets.
Tonya, sometimes I think it's just us women. Look at the implant craze. How weird is that?
DD he's been labelled as the perfect guy
but icydk he's one of these types who likes
to be the better looking one of the couple.
I watch it and also I've seen him lack a funny
bone he tries to come across as serious and
no nonsense I mean business but it smells
like desperation. He has an imprint in his
mind of being the golden boy the good guy
the hero the man in uniform so he's over 30 and
feels he should be a husband by now. He sees
himself as such a great catch. Remember last
season when Jill rejected him. He was trying to
rescue her from Wes IMO ( he's the bit of a tattle
tale goody two shoes ) and that's why Jill let him
go he insulted her intelligence by playing the selfless
hero card. He looked like such an idiot to me at
the juncture I knew then he would be the next
bachelor! Well let's get back to present day now.
Jake has Vienna ( bad girl worse hair extensions )
and Tenly ( nice girl gorgeous real hair ) Gia & Ali.
Icydk by now i've listed them in reverse order of
departure. I would not put it past Spunky girl
Ali to tell him Im outa here tonight and Gia she's
next to go leaving the battle of the long haired ladies.
The final two will be Tenly and Vienna. Guess who
Jake picks ?? Hmmmmm let's see there is big
reason that Vienna has made it thus far & by golly
you'd think by now she would have been tossed out
on her ear hmmmmm Its beginning to look a lot
like she is his choice. Mrs. Vienna Pavelka nice
to make your acquaintence I'm charmed I'm sure ?
Sorry to spill the beans on this one DD I could see
it coming a mile away. Just like in November last year
when I saw the Saints come marching in on
superbowl Sunday. They deserved that win last
night ! Bayou Jane & Biz I'm so happy for you both !! Kiki :)
I'll admit it. I watch the Bachelor and Bachelorette. I used to poo-poo them but now I like them.
It is funny (and sad) to see what lengths these girls will go to to try and get his attention and to see how he narrows it down to 4.
I can't stand Vienna - I hate her eyes, hair, laugh,attitude, everything pisses me off about her. I can see why the other girls can't stand her! I cannot see why in heck he hasn't kicked her to the curb. - that was a great observation DD about the producers not letting him kick her out. I didn't think they got involved in that stuff but I'm sure you are right. It would explain why I still have to look at her on Monday nights.
I'm interested to see what happens tonight. The previews say that there is no rose ceremony and of course I wonder why.

I forgot about the implants Tonya & DD they
are not as common up here in Canada yet.
But everytime I'm in the USA I see them.
I nearly fell offa my chair when a couple years ago
in las Vegas the waitress at a bistro in the
bellagio hotel handed me an oversized menu
and in doing so revealed her perfect pair of
cantaloupe halves on her chest. She was in her late 50s
and looked pretty darn good but I was a surprised at
how perfect the staff at these casinos are ?!
I mean do they all have to be showgirl status
shape just so I could have an omelet & tea?
I just was not used to it seeing acgrown woman just a few
years older than me buy into that mentality of
male perfection. Needless to say I got my omelet
and it was delicious however I did not have any
appetite for the wedge of canteloupe on the side
included with my order as the accompaning fruit.
Sheesh those oversize placard menus can sure
hide a whole lot behind their glossy covers. Kiki :)
I am not a big fan of implants or any other type of elective plastic surgery. Though I have seen some excellent natural looking breast implants that even felt natural.
But so many women go for the 450's and 500's trying to wear a 36dd bra and end up like Heidi Spencer.
To each his own. Some guys will only date a certain type regardless of personality. I think chemistry is everything.

I don't like this Jake guy. He seems so fake and just, blah.
I don't watch, but some of my girlfriends refer to Vienna as "Snausages". LMAO
I called her that too! I didn't know anyone else did. Cool!
Jarhead I think you rock ! Kiki :)
I keep coming back here just to look at this guy. I want to lick his teeth.
I don't like reality TV even as a guilty pleasure. It makes my head hurt. The only one I watch is "America's Next Top Model." My brother LOVES that show. He comes over and we watch it together. We have been since season 3. Now it's season 14. (Aack! That's a lot of cat fights.)
Jarhead, if I wasn't happily married I would totally hit on you.
Meissa ;) me too !! Kiki :)
Meissa btw your new pic is killer ! Your hot ! Kiki :)
Look at The Housewives of Orange County. Those chicks hardly have a brain between them, they're worthless, yet they have rich hubbys who support them and now a TV show. Trust me, they aren't saying anything intelligent.
Me, me I watch! Oh, and totally for the shock factor. Tenley gets on my nerves for some reason, supposedly Vienna ripped her ex-hubs savings off to get her boob job, while ex was in Iraq. Gia seems too high maintenance to me. I want Ali, but someone said elsewhere that she thought Ali gets called off for work, but it's not tonite, if at all. No roses are given out tonite (to make up for the wk. he sent 2 home I guess)
BTW, did anyone see that Jason Mesnick the bachelor who dumped Melissa for whatshernanme, and her(Name?) are getting married in Mar. on TV?
Here's a question. Has there ever been an occasion when the bachelor just didn't fall for any of the women and that was that? It is conceivable, isn't it, that 100 candidates wouldn't suit?

Yes it happens, but due to the 'scripting' of the "reality" show, they pick someone, do the celeb rounds a wk or so, then move on.
I don't watch this show but I do watch Regis and Kelly in the morning.
They do a great job of snarky recapping, particularly now that they've instituted an "evil Regis" avatar that's inserted into the show's more dramatic moments. Flat-out funny!
And how much freaking crying does this bachelor do every episode?!
Dude! Get a grip and man-up.
You know you'll eventually dump whoever you choose! Isn't that what happens for every season of this show?
