OT: The Bachelor finale
Before the tournament begins, I am wondering if any of you have any thoughts or predictions on who Clayton is going to try and give his final rose to in this two-night finale that starts tonight.on ABC
Latest offshore odd I saw was:
Not engaged: -380
Susie E: +350
Rachel: +500
Gabby: +900
Foursome
Too funny rob f😂😂😂
Even then I would not watch this scripted drama bullshit.
Just my two cents worth.....
You want them to play golf?
Three chicks at the same time >>>>> Two chicks at the same time!
Three chicks at the same time isn't much different than two in my experience. Two dudes at the same time is a lot different than either, though.

Good for you! (sincerely)

Pics or it didn't happen!
Puh-leez.
Why do people still watch that stupid show?
i mean.... I agree with you 100% that the show is as vapid as an East Lansing sportswriter but we're all on a college football fan blog and have collectively spent a non-zero amount of time parsing the tweets of high school four-star recruits to divine where they might play next year, so let they without sin withhold the first rose?
I actually have a not sarcastic answer to why some people watch. I used to watch this show with my roommates (we had 2 girls and 2 guys living together) before I moved out. We had a blast watching...
We'd all drink together and watch the first episode where you learn about the bachelor and all the girls and then each pick 3 contestants we thought had the best shot to make it to "hometowns". Then the entire season was spent talking shit about one another's picks. Pretty similar to why fantasy football with your family/friends is enjoyable.
To further increase the enjoyment we'd each create a rule for drinking before every episode, something like: drink every time anyone says "here for the right reasons" or "this journey", or every time there's a kiss. Inevitably we'd all be hammered after watching the 85 minutes or so of actual screen time after zipping thru it on DVR. We'd spend much of the time watching the show basically making fun of all the people on the show and the show itself. Good times.

It's the peak of cheap cheesy drama. A lot of guys in this thread need to get over themselves and realize that watching a hilariously cheesy drama with a bunch of hot girls isn't so bad. You'd be shocked how fun the show is to watch when you're with your friends and sipping on some beers
March 14th, 2022 at 11:41 PM ^
If I want that, I'll watch reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. At least there's... well... vampires.
Sitting with friends, sipping beers and playing drinking games watching Buffy is going to be way more entertaining.
I wouldn't really consider Buffy a cheesy show. It's considered one of the better shows of all time. At least in a lot of top 100 of all-time shows.

The corny, cheesy, monsters of the week and absurdity of Buffy and her buddies out slaying demons and vampires is most definitely cheesy.
At the same time, it remains authentic in the way it tackles issues/relationships and relates the experiences of the characters to those of the audience. That's why it's loved... not because of the quality of production.
That's kind of the point. Cheesy doesn't mean it has to be bad.

Unpopular opinion: the movie was way better than the TV show.
It's terrible TV and it's total trash. That being said, I watch it with my wife (used to be one of the things she would bond over with her overseas cousin) and it's can be entertaining in a vapid way. Drama (even manufactured drama) has some entertaining moments, and the different cities they travel to are cool to see.
The vast majority of TV shows are trash when you think about it.

It was funny garbage…until they cancelled Chris Harrison…now it is just pure garbage.
What Rose?
The safest bet of all:
-60000 odds that all 3 of the women will be paid lots of $$$ to "influence" other women across the country to buy various products over the next few years.
(I worked at one of those companies over the last couple years - can't share details but their contracts pay very very well.)
Assuming you're a dude, it's time to turn in your man card.
It’s March Madness and you post this..
The only reason I would watch that show would be to make some girl/woman believe that I am sensitive and romantic. Of course, I would then immediately be put into the friend zone. So, I'll continue to skip it.
You must be a closet OSU fan to post this
March 14th, 2022 at 10:21 PM ^
Nope we don’t want him.
It's effing March and this is a thread? JFC.
Not even the esteemed Dr. Steve Brule can pull this out of nose dive.
Human beings are interesting.
The human beings and the dynamics of The Bachelor, are fascinating.
No shame in sociology.
Go blue!
You mean the sociology part of people whoring themselves, looking vapid, shallow, and stupid (did I mention insincere) just for their 15 minutes of fame???
March 15th, 2022 at 12:24 AM ^
The only remotely interesting thing about shows like this from a sociological standpoint are why shows like it exist, who watches them, and why. There’s no real sociology among the participants because it’s scripted horseshit. None of it is authentic. It’s acting. The same applies to pro wrestling.
March 14th, 2022 at 10:39 PM ^
I had a completely different reaction.
I mean the bookmakers literally already know what’s going to happen (you can too if you want) so betting on it at this point seems ridiculous.
Wait, people bet on this knowing that the house already has the answer? We might have reached a new low. We are on our way to Idiocracy the movie in real life.
That show is a cancer
March 14th, 2022 at 10:27 PM ^
That is pretty fucked up, cancer has feelings too.
March 14th, 2022 at 11:33 PM ^
No, it doesn't.
My wife watches all kinds of stupid reality tv but thank god that the boner isn't one of them.
Not in a billion years would I watch this train wreck.
My wife, however, is hanging on every moment.
I honestly hope the two women leave after the tire fire that was last week's episode.
Agreed. Gabby should’ve ripped up the rose immediately after she accepted. Clayton might be a bigger dipshit than Pete the Pilot was.
My wife and I watch it each Tuesday and this season has been a doozy. We always talk a lot of shit about the show's structure, the contestants, and the lead but they've been making it really easy lately. Our favorite thing to do is catch how little personality Clayton has when he speaks to people and just basically repeats back what he's been told. It's like he's unable to have an original thought.
March 14th, 2022 at 10:32 PM ^
yeah, turn in your man card, too
BURN THIS POST WITH FIRE!
ALL CAPS WORTHY POST CLARENCE
Didn't Chris Harrison get cancelled? Who's the new host, and is he better or worse?
