Ok....so the bachelorette just rode down Breckenridge Ski Area on the back of her "Date" Jesse (26 year old Professional Snowboarder) on a SNOWBOARD WITH NO HELMET!!!!

Who does THAT????????????

I generally watch this next day online. I know "someone" who knows Jesse and got some interesting info (non-show-related). It should come up next episode... There's a whole lot of self-promoting going on there......interesting thread about him on fansofrealitytv.com that discuss this and "seem" to have the whole plot figured out. If you want the "spoilers," check out this website, look for the show and the key players. The last time I looked, the thread for Jesse was something like 120 pages long

NICE!!!!!!!!

Thanks MSL!!!!! YOU ROCK!

Dang. I only saw the first part of the "Date" where he was wearing a helmet and made her put one on too. Didn't see her go down w/o the helmet. I was so happy to see her wearing a helmet - even tho she had the total tourist girl outfit on.

I REALLY Like the guy with the little boy, Tyler! OMG!!!!! How sweet is that man and his family!!!!

It should be noted that only watch these sort of shows (Bachelorette, Dancing with the Stars, etc) when I'm at the gym and distracting myself while on the treadmill or rower.

Okay, the fans of reality tv website is currently so overloaded, I can't get on it. Man, did they have this thing pegged. I'm now only watching the show to see the drama - I think they've "got it" down. There are lots of insider info leaks that are posted as well. I must have stayed up past midnight a week ago reading some of these L O N GGGGG threads.

They pegged Graham going home, and I think they're right about the next one to go and why, who makes it to the final 2 (and why) and who wins.

If you want me to wreck it for you, pm me. Or check out this website if you have the time/inclination (if it ever slows down!) Otherwise, enjoy.
However, if it turns out as these sleuths predict, I'll be happy

Absurd format for dating, though, eh? I've watched a few of these, not too many (I prefer when the WOMAN gets to pick!!) - they're shamefully addicting!

Oh, and by the way, most of the ABC prime time shows that are available (MANY, with LIMITED COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTION YAY) aren't available as streaming video until the next day after being aired, so don't look for these for at least a day. Requires downloading of an ABC player, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Wish Boston Legal was on that list - darn, it's not. But many are. Check it out. Save some time. Prime time commercials on network tv are huge time-wasters. I'll watch this show in 1 hr 35 max tomorrow.

Yup. We have a DVR at home, so most of hte TV we watch is pre-recorded and we skip the commercials.

Ok.....I really want that Graham guy to open up more! LOL
(This is in the snowboarding area..........)


Ok....
So SNOWBOARD!!!! (there....now this still belongs! )

Okay, I just watched it. Wasn't too impressed with the snowboarding. I've seen better!! ("all in the family!") But oh how I remember this very same exact teaching technique, as the same has been given to me. Heck, she did better than I did!

Based on that rather long show, come on, you guys, the winner is absolutely screaming out at me here!! The producers have usually done a better "cloaking" job in past shows than they're doing with this one.

I'm totally willing to put a wager on who's the last man standing!

MSL~ Your son is WAY better than Jessie! She did make me want to try snowboarding one day...

And, believe it or not, he was quoted (somewhere, don't remember) as saying he was one of 3 he knew of who were competing pro's and certified instructors simultaneously (or he HAD been - he's all PR now).......hmmmm.....wonder if one of the other 2 was someone I know and love......because that someone was most definitely in that category for at least 3 years....

So, M, if/when in CO and if ever so inclined to try the ride, you know who to call After my 2 hour-long privates and 2 days of getting bruised and banged beyond imagination (years ago), I can only say that his words were: "You're an awesome mom, but you are THE WORST student I've EVER had." I was. I stunk. His dad fared way better, was linking turns, just didn't like it. I was the one who really wanted to do it.

Re: the show: how did you like that shameless promo on the hometown date of his organization on the wall? And the endless shots of pipe gloves. Hmmm, makes one wonder about intent here....

I KNOW! I was saying that to Min!!!! Unbelievable!

I'm just not a Jesse fan!

You know, MSL, your son should sign up for the Bachelor! OMG! Just for the gals....he would be SO awesome on there.....and then he could just dump them in the end....cuz he's just WAY too young and cute to settle down just yet.....I'm just sayin'!

Ha! I don't know.....that degree of notoriety is, well.......last year, the Bachelor left DeAnna standing there, last one, and he dumped her. Hmmmm, didn't exactly endear him to the viewing public (that's why she's the chooser this time around, and I kind of hope Jeremy is the Bachelor next year, cuz he's gonna get cut----OOPS just revealed the - non - secret!)

DS is just gonna have to hook up with a rider chick who will dust him. He's had a "thing" for Hannah Teter for awhile.....hmmmm.....

I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE KEPT JESSE!

I'm just sayin'!

Not surprised here --- there's an online forum that rabidly discusses all this stuff, and the "sleuths" therein had this whole thing figured out weeks ago (when Graham and Jeremy were still part of the equation). They figured out who goes and when, and thus far they have been SPOT ON.

Something DOES happen (according to them) next week in re: Jesse and some kind of incriminating text message (HOW DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW THIS?). Just tons of insider info and leaks have been happening. It's absolutely fascinating, and some of the threads are 100+ pages long

Have you figured this out yet, who wins this? I think it's a great match Wasn't a dry eye in the house when he was reunited with his son, and Jason's family was awesome.

Now if we can only get a tv wedding out the deal!! I missed that whole season w/Trista and Ryan - wasn't watching tv for about a 2 year span, was caring for someone ill.

That IS a good match! I've liked Jason all along! I am going to go to that website later tonight and read!

I think they are a cute family!

fans of reality tv dot com --- fyi
threads: speculation/sleuths etc

Man! She is being NASTY to Jeremy and Graham on the Guys Tell All!

She has a NASTY side!
I'm not liking her very much tonight!

WHOOPS!! I am forgetting about the time zone difference and when show(s) get aired there versus here --- okay, will keep this in mind next week when FRC airs.

LOL! No problem! I'm usually a few steps behind!

She didn't deserve ANY of the great men on there!

I'm done!

hmmm, can someone please post what happened here? I saw a little of it today, and only the second partial episode that I saw of this show so far. Based on what little I did see, I am intrigued.

I have to say though, I did read somewhere or saw on the show today where the snowboard guy said something to the effect that he would give up boarding for this chick.... is anyone really worth that? Sheesh.

They are all idots.

Ok, but really, what happened!

Uh, she picked him, and they're supposedly living together in LA right now. Who knows, the rumor mills and forums aren't altogether trustworthy.

I mean, come on, to dump 2 guys like Jeremy and Jason....I should probably not talk, given the fact that I have a "certain family member" of a "certain similar age" in a "VERY similar lifestyle" (although not as posh). But a southern girl living in Breck? How long will THIS one last? They set a date, too, in ATFR - 5/9/09, in the Bahamas.

Seems like the whole thing was one giant publicity stunt at this point, which is the major turn-off for me. Phooey. I'm all done too. Feel like I wasted more than a few hours on this...that I can NEVER get back!! Arghhhh.

ok.....SPOILER!!!!





She choose Jesse the Boarder Dude! UGH!

Seriously, he was the LEAST sincere of all the men, and personally, I think she turned out to be a bit of a... well....DIVA! She was not nice at ALL to the guys last week in the guys show, and she just seems SO unbalanced and like the world revolves around her....as it did on the whole dumb show!

I will say this.....welcome to reality, Deanna. Jesse is not going to measure up to what you "fell in love with" on the show.

***WHY OH WHY do all of the Bachelorettes have to end up living in Colorado???????????

One more thing.....

Did you see how UNSURE he was when he went to pick out a ring?????

Good Lord! I bet she freaked when she saw that for the first time! It just goes to show that he wasn't sure at all! LOVED the publicity. Ugh!

I bet her family is upset, too. It's apparent that she doesn't know who she is or what she wants at all.

The next show will be called.....THE BACHELORETTE GROWS UP!
