The Bachelorette

I was really excited when I found out Jillian was going to be the Bachelorette.  She seems like the most laid-back/easy going Bachelorette they’ve had yet.  And she doesn’t seem fake at all…unlike DeAnna.  According to Reality Steve, Jillian was also the 3rd choice to be the Bachelorette.  It was going to be Molly then the whole “shocking ending” happened. Then it was going to be Melissa…but she declined.  So I’m really happy that Jillian was the next pick.  I kind of wish they would pick some new faces to be the Bachelor/Bachelorette though.  I mean I understand that they have a fanbase so people will watch, but then again, I want to see some fresh new face.  Give some other people a chance!  Anyways, enough of my ranting about that and onto the actual show. I was sort of surprised with some of the people she sent home! 

Here’s what I thought about each guy…

Brad: Brad is a cutie.  Not someone I see Jillian with though.  I wish they would have shown more of him.  ABC made it look like Brad didn’t talk to Jillian at all.  But, she gave him a rose so she must have talked to him somewhat, or his first impression was well remembered.  My predictions:  He’s going to get sent home within the next two weeks.

Tanner P: Ummmm he’s a total creep with that foot fetish!  Seriously!?  Why would he say that stuff on national tv!?  It came off as really creepy, and poor Jillian didn’t even realize he was staring at her feet like the whole time.  Again, ABC just focused on his foot fetish.  I’m sure he was a little more decent with all of the stuff they edited out.  Ohh and he was totally giving off a gay vibe.  Did anyone else think that, or was it just me?  Haha!  My prediction:  He’ll last about halfway through.

Julien: This guy seems kind of boring.  And I’m not a fan of his hair!  ABC didn’t focus on him too much, so it was kind of a surprise to me when Jillian gave him a rose.  My prediction: He will get eliminated next week.

Stephen: I liked Stephen’s clip before all of the guys met Jillian.  He seemed cool then, but then the rest of the show he just came across as arrogant.  So, I’m happy Jillian didn’t give him a rose.

Greg: Okay, this dude was a douchebag!  I really don’t like “models” on tv shows.  They all think they are super good looking and it’s really annoying.  Plus what was with the “Let’s hug it out”. Come on!  LAME!  He acts like a 5 year old when he was really one of the oldest guys on the show. Hmm. But I do have to give him props for his dancing!  Pretty good for an old man!  Haha!

Mathue: Was this the guy who had Jillian sign his cowboy hat?  I thought that was kind of weird.  Otherwise, this guy wasn’t too bad.  No standout factor in my opinion.  Just seems like a nice Southern boy.  My prediction:  He’ll last another week or two.

Wes: I do NOT like this guy!  He seems like a fake.  And after reading some other blogs and the discussion boards, everyone else seems to think so too.  First, I didn’t like how didn’t look like he cared when he first met Jillian.  He was barely looking her in the eyes!  Second, that song went way too far for it only being the first night.  This guy just wants to get his name known, but Jillian seems to like him.  My prediction: He’ll last until before the hometown dates or maybe he’ll even get a hometown date.

Michael: I liked this guy.  I think he’s adorable and was really funny!  I hope he’s not in it to just make his name known. My predictions: He’ll last about halfway through.

David: How adorable was David when he choked up!? Ahhh!  This guy is one of my favorites.  I may be a little prejudice though because I’m from Ohio!  He was cool until he said something to Mike.  I thought that was really rude! Ohh and watch the way he blinks. It’s like he has a bum eyelid!  It’s kind of distracting and cute!  Haha! My predictions: Just out of scenes for the season, I’m guessing David will go home within the next two weeks.

Bryan: I honestly don’t remember this guy at all!

Caleb: Damn, his jeans were tight!  Haha!  This guy seemed too quiet.  They didn’t show any conversation between him and Jillian.  Guess it served him right to go home.

Bryce: I think Bryce was one of the five that came in late?  ABC didn’t give him any airtime either!

John P.: Ehhhhh

Josh: He seemed alright. I was watching the exit interviews and apparently Josh gave Jillian mouth to mouth?  Good thing ABC didn’t show that.

Simon: I want this guy to stay around strictly for enertainment purposes!  I loved the subtitles and the fact that he’s like three feet taller than Jillian.  Haha!  My prediction: He won’t last another week.

Kyle: I was surprised this guy didn’t get a rose.  Jillian seemed to really like him.  And all of the airtime ABC was giving him, you would figure he would stay.  I thought the mustache thing was funny too.  I guess he seemed a little to out there for Jillian.

Sasha: I was surprised he got a rose.  I know I’m being annoying with this, but they didn’t show him talking to Jillian at all but the first introduction.  Pretty much everyone on the message boards think he’s going to be in the final 5. By the looks of the preview for the season, it looks like he could stay awhile.  My prediction: He’ll last about halfway through.

Tanner F.: Do you guys remember Devon Sawa?  I think Tanner kind of looks like him or Nick Carter!  Anyways, he seemed nervous the whole time he was talking to her.  It was really cute.  My prediction:  He’ll be sent home next week.

Brian: I didn’t like this guy.  He’s a true redneck and seems very closeminded.  My prediction: He’ll get voted off next week.

Ed: I like him! He seems like one of the more real guys in the house. My prediction: He’ll make it to the hometown dates.

Jake: This guy is suuuuuuper hot!  Haha!  He also seems like one of the more humble guys. It seems like he’s going to be around awhile! My prediction: Final two or one.

 

Jesse: Was he the bartender or winemaker? I noticed A LOT of these guys look the same this season!! I was getting Jake/Mark..Robby/Jesse..Julien/Mike..John H/Tanner F..and Bryan/Sasha all confused!!! Those pairs all looked alike or at least a little similar to each other! My prediction: He’ll make it about halfway through.

Juan: I liked this guy at first but then he started coming off as a little arrogant!  Ew!  My predictions: He’ll last another week or two.

Kiptyn: HOTTIE!!! Ummmm seriously!? Wow!  He’s super hot and well rounded.  Nice!  The preview for the rest of the season didn’t show him much but I still think he’ll make it far!  He has a lot to offer!  My predictions: Final four-ish.

Mark: I really like this guy too.  He’s super attractive!  According to the message boards he may be the guy who has a girlfriend though? I hope not! My prediction: I really don’t know…especially if those rumors are true!

Mike: So he used like the lamest pick up line ever…but there’s something I really like about this guy.  He seems really charming.  And he can actually kind of pull of that hairstyle!  Mike seems like a catch though.  And he seems like he’s going to be around for awhile.  My prediction: Final two or one.

Reid: He’s a cutie.  My prediction:  Can’t really say since they didn’t give him any airtime.

Robby: Is he the bartender or wine maker??? My prediction: He’ll last another week or two.

Adam: Lead singer of the Fray?  Haha maybe not.  My friends always make fun of me for the look alike comparisons I make, so feel free to do the same!

John H.: I was surprised he didn’t get a rose.  I thought he was cool despite him sticking out his tongue a few times when he was talking to her.  I actually think that’s a disorder…so I shouldn’t be joking about that!  Haha, my bad!

 

Overall I didn’t think the premiere was too bad.  I’m definitely excited for the rest of the season.  I wish we didn’t have to wait another week for it to air again!  By the way, does anyone know if next week is going to be a one-hour or two-hour show?

 

So I’m making some polls for everyone to take.  Just curious about what everyone thinks.  The first one’s I’ll make are for predictions of who will go home next week, and who will be the final one?  Please leave me some feedback!

If I had to choose 5 leaving next week, I would have to say Tanner F., Simon, Julian, Brian, and Robby.  Maybe Brad or Reid? That’s just my opinion though!  What do you guys think?
