Obviously, production wants to know who they are in advance so that the cameras can capture their individual reaction. Is the show spontaneous? Some say no. When you are sitting in a hot tub with a guy or lady you really don't know, and there are six people in the TV crew standing around you, I'm told it feels a little staged.

Bacchus;43013 wrote:I am really, really trying. This is tough to watch. Why does the Jersey Girl have such a fresh mouth????? That was a rhetorical question.
I am not going to lie, some of this is just a bit too much, lol. Nicole seems to have handled the poem better than I. :D
Insider;43016 wrote:Erica is quite striking and I fell for it until she opened her mouth. Sadly she is just my type which says a lot unfortunately, lol. I court trouble. I hope he cans her next week... As for the others, I think he did a good job as most of those that got cut would have been on my list to get the early exit (at least if I followed my vision boards.) I personally would have kept Nicole for a bit longer as she had a few interesting, positive personality traits. I think Brazilian girl should salsa herself out the door and soon. Faux snaggle tooth needs to go. I don't like Megan at all and I think Sharon is just plain weird. Lauren is hot. She might not be a bad choice although I question her reasons for being on the show. Not sure how into him she really is. BTW: What is up with the girl that comes back from the preview? Whoever it is, it looks like she brings the drama! Heck, I might give this show a shot if enough people want to chat about it - although Monday is a busy TV night with House, 24, Chuck and Heroes!
My intial picks have done little other than prove why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I chose both Megan and Erica. I'm now retracting both endorsements and replacing them with Nikki and Melissa.

Bacchus;43026 wrote:At least you remember some names. And I do like Jersey Girll (fresh mouth and all). It's time for me to call the child and get the inside track. If not I will PM you Bacchus and we can discuss your vision boards!
Oh snap! This should be fun.
LilysMom;43051 wrote:Maybe Melissa will get a slow reveal, letting us all fall for her too?
Yay I had no idea you all would be discussing this, or I would have been right here. The whole meet and greet night's are usually pretty slow moving and weird. I think Jason is gong to be the best Bachelor this show has ever had( and those shot's with his shirt off dont hurt) because he is taking it seriuosly, but not to seriuosly. A few thing's to touch on Stephanie the widowed mother, ahhhh there is something wrong with her. No Body language at all. My favorite Melissa barely got shown at all, BoOO!

Shannon is a psycho. I'm worried for Jason's safety. lol I kinda like Hotdog Jillian. Does anyone else?
V1man;44237 wrote:It sounds like a gig I could handle. I forward you some headshots, see if we can get some traction with this, lol. Back to Shanon - Ice cubes? Is this second grade?
Does anyone want me to nominate Bacchus to be the next bachelor? I just happen to know someone who has cast for the series.
Bacchus;44240 wrote:15 women competing for the attention of one man...yes it feels like 2nd grade!
Back to Shanon - Ice cubes? Is this second grade?
LilysMom;44243 wrote:Well, that is true! ....I just thought it was a bit desperate. However, Shanon is a wacko so maybe that will play to her advantage. The date with Melisa was good. I think she'll be a top five. She had all the right answers.
