The Bachelor Pad

This does seem a bit like Big Brother. Looks like ABC might be trying to run a race with CBS on this one.

Yeah definitely, I want to see what twists ABC with add to this to spice it up.

Never really a fan of The Bachelor, only watched one season and even that season I didn't watch the full season. This may turn out interesting though. I may give it a shot.

Oh for sure definitely can't be exactly like it. I'm thinking there might be some challenge/I love money type elements in this, giving that some of these people have previously know each other.

I'm rooting for Gia!!! I wish Ericka from Lorenzos season was on though!

3 people named Jess(i)e? Really??

This is going to be ridiculously trashy and I cannot wait. Boot spoilers, per Reality Steve: [spoiler]1. Juan and Michelle 2. Craig and Jessie 3. Jonathan and Gia 4. Wes and Krisily[/spoiler]

And more in depth spoilers: [spoiler]1st challenge - Game of Twister. Came down to Craig McKinnon from Canada and Jessie Sulidis. Craig won. He took Jessie, Gwen, and Elizabeth on a date. Went to the Greek Theater in LA. He chose to give the rose to Jessie, then they continued on with their date and saw someone in concert. Can't remember who though. Some band. Craig and Jessie were presented a fantasy suite card to spend the night upstairs. At first they were going to, then decided it against it. They never hooked up. And when I use the term "hook up" in this column, I mean "making out". From what I was told, there was very little sex happening in this house. But hey, it could've been they were sneaking around and I didn't find out. Only two people were known to be having sex and that's Jesse Kovacs and Elizabeth Kitt. They're the only two people on this show who came into it as an actual couple. They've been dating for a few months. And having lots of sex I'm sure. Juan and Michelle are the first two voted out of the house. 2nd challenge - Pie Eating Contest. Guys vs. guys, girls vs. girls. Whoever can eat the most in a certain amout of time wins. People were getting sick and puking. Gia won for the girls, Weatherman won for the guys. Gia took Wes, Craig, and Jesse Beck on a date somewhere in LA. They went into some tent that had a Moroccan theme. Gia gave Wes the rose. They didn't hook up. Don't think they were offered fantasy suite either. Weatherman took Gwen, Ashley, and Peyton on his date. They all got in bikinis at some painting place where their bodies were on a canvas or something like that. Weatherman gave a rose to Gwen. No fantasy suite. No hooking up for them. During this time, these were the people who were hooking up back at the house: Jesse Beck and Natalie were making out, Dave and Jessie Sulidis made out in a hot tub, and Jesse Kovacs and Elizabeth were making babies. However, something went down where people turned on Jessie and Craig because they thought they were forming some sort of alliance from their first date, and Jessie and Craig were the next two voted out of the house. 3rd Challenge - Here's where it starts getting interesting. A Kissing Contest. Everybody left must be blindfolded and make out with everyone left of the opposite sex. Ashley Elmore didn't participate because she wanted no part of it. But Gia certainly did. Ha ha...I'm sure her boyfriend will be thrilled. Dave was voted best kisser by the girls. He took Natalie, Krisily, and Nikki to the Mirage in Vegas. On this date, Natalie gets the rose, and all I was told about this was, "Dave and Natalie end up in the topless pool at the Mirage. Draw your own conclusions from there." So apparently Natalie has moved on already from Jesse Beck considering she's possibly topless in a Vegas pool with Dave. Yes, they had the pool all to themselves. Which is why I think the top probably came off, but I'm still not sure yet. Awesome regardless. Peyton voted best kisser by the guys. Don't know who she took on her group date, but she ended up giving the rose to Jesse Beck and they went drag car racing. They ended up being the first "couple" to use the fantasy suite. Awwwwwww sh**! Bow-chicka-bow-bow. And to think I had all these pure thoughts in my head about Peyton less than a week ago that I expressed here on the site. Corrupted by Jesse Beck. *******. The Weatherman and Gia were voted off next. 4th Challenge - Questionnaire. Everyone had to privately answer questions about other people in the house. I wish I knew more, but these were very intrusive questions and started stirring up drama. Apparently they hadn't gotten the hookups and fighting they'd hoped for up to this point, so this questionnaire really brought out some claws. Here are a few of the questions I know were on it: Who has the worst **** job in the house? Elizabeth was voted #1. Not surprising. Who is the most ***************** in the house? Not sure who got the most votes on this one. Who is the stupidest girl in the house? Not sure on this one either. So everyone answers anonymously, they gather everyone's answers, then they have a consensus of who everyone voted for for each question. The next morning, the answers are read aloud to everyone. Major cat fighting, back stabbing, lying, crying, etc. People got very offended and hurt when finding out what people had written about them. Anyway, Tenley had the most answers right and took Kiptyn to a "private island" for their date. I don't know what "private island" means and neither did any of the sources, but having lived in LA for a long time, my only guess is they went to Catalina. There are no other "islands" close by. I'm sure they made out. Wes and Krisily were the next two voted off the show. So at this point, there are 11 people left. 4 guys, 7 girls. Jesse Kovacs, Dave, Kiptyn, and Jesse Beck. Each of the guys is told they have to save 1 girl, and this is who they saved: Jesse Beck and Peyton Dave and Natalie Jesse Kovacs and Elizabeth Kiptyn and Tenley There was no challenge. Ashley, Nikki, and Gwen are sent home because basically, well, the guys left didn't want to hook up with them or whatever. I mean, it was obvious Jesse Beck would save Peyton considering they had just spent the night together, Kiptyn would save Tenley, and Jesse Kovacs would save his girlfriend Elizabeth . So the only one possibly in question was who Dave was gonna save, and he chose Natalie over the other three because she put out. Ha ha. Now, after this at some point, is the dancing challenge that Jake, Trista, and Jillian judge. I'm guessing Tenley or the Tenley/Kiptyn duo win that due to her dance background. Don't know if it goes from 8 to 6 and 6 down to 4, or if it just goes from 8 down to 4, but the final 4 are: Dave and Natalie Tenley and Kiptyn So when they go back to film in September, Dave and Natalie will compete against Tenley and Kiptyn in some sort of challenge. No idea what this could be. An obstacle course maybe? Kiptyn and Dave in an Ab-off while Natalie and Tenley have a giggle fest? I don't know. I just know the winning team makes it to the finals where they'll compete against each other. Who knows what'll happen, but like I said earlier, don't put it past this show to turn this into a twist and say, "Well, you can compete against each other with the sole winner getting 250k, or, you can agree to split the money and go have intercourse." Wouldn't be surprised at all. This is the first run of this series. There really don't seem to be any set rules and they can do what they want since no precedent has been set. -Yes, Natalie does take her top off during her 1-on-1 time making out with Dave in the Mirage topless pool. But kinda like Ali's date with Jesse Beck earlier this season, they're the only two people at the pool, so it's not like she stripped for a bunch of people. Just Dave. And ***** cameramen. -As for how people are voted out, I did mention that the girls would get together and decide on one guy, and the guys would decide one girl. Yes, that's how it happens. However, each person goes individually into their ITM and drops the headshot of the person they want gone into a box. So you could be in with your group of girls saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's vote so-and-so out", but then change your vote when you get in your ITM because no one would know. Chris and Melissa only reveal which person is going home at the elimination ceremonies, not who got how many votes. I believe that's why a couple of the eliminations ended up surprising people. When Gia got eliminated, it was a tie between her and Krisily. The guy who was safe from elimination that night, Dave (for winning the kissing contest), was the one who cast the deciding vote. He decided to keep Krisily over Gia. -As for Gia participating in the kissing contest even though she has a boyfriend, yes, she did participate. That's the extent of what I know. I never said she made out with all of them. I just said she participated and that "I'm sure her boyfriend will be thrilled." I'm guessing she didn't tongue down with every guy left. -And the real good info I was looking for: More questions and answers from that questionnaire. I was able to get three more, including what the consensus answer was to each one that everyone voted on. Dumbest girl in the house? Gwen Fakest girl in the house? Nikki Most shallow girl in the house? Elizabeth So that's what I got. I'm sure A LOT of the drama will center around all the eliminations with people scrambling trying to save their own *****, and girls backstabbing each other to the guys to get people voted off. That stuff I'm not sure about. However, if you break it down by numbers, here is the surprising aspect that I found about the show: -Not counting the kissing contest where essentially everyone tongue raped everyone else, only 5 of the 11 girls hooked up with anyone, and 4 of them ended up as the last 4 women standing. Jessie Sulidis was the only other girl outside the final 4 girls to get any action when her and Dave went at it in the tub early on in the season. Natalie I believe was the only female to "double up", as she made out with Jesse Beck in the beginning, then Dave later. -As for the guys, only 4 of the 8 guys got any action, and those were the last 4 guys standing. Dave and Jesse Beck were the two males to "double up", as Dave made out with Jessie Sulidis early on, then Natalie later. Jesse Beck made out with Natalie early on, then was with Peyton. Wes, Weatherman, Juan, and Craig got no ***. Sorry boys. REAL shocked to hear Weathersissy couldn't******** in that house. I mean, stunned...ha ha. However, I'm really surprised Wes didn't try to take down Gia. I mean, he's 1-on-1 with her and he doesn't even try? Huh? How is that possible? That's not the Wes I know. Something must've happened that I wasn't informed about because I know Wes always thought she was hot, and Gia was the one who gave him the rose. Maybe she was being real frigid because of her boyfriend. Who knows? So I'd say Gia's early exit is probably the biggest surprise to me from what I've been told, with the Peyton/Jesse Beck hookup taking a close second. Did NOT see Peyton with him at all. My image of her is totally blown now. Booooooooooooo. And disappointed in my girl Krisily. She's boy crazy. Pretty surprised she couldn't get one of these guys to at least make out with her. I think without a doubt, this show is going to be a success. Look, if people can develop that close of an attachment to these "characters" while they're on the "Bachelor/ette", no doubt they will watch them in this element which is completely different. You're not going on phony unrealistic dates where the grand prize at the end is basically a relationship that will ultimately fail. This is a 1-in-19 shot to win 250k, all the while partying, drinking, and hooking up with people you're already familiar with. I fully expect we'll see a "Bachelor Pad 2″. No doubt.[/spoiler]

So Jonathan doesn't even go by his name anymore? He goes by...Weatherman? Lame.

I thought ABC hated Wes?

I'm sorry, but I never thought Gia was ridiculously drop-dead gorgeous.

[QUOTE=dplayer18;198383]This does seem a bit like Big Brother.[/QUOTE] I totally agree. Besides Jake Pavelka and the people who got engaged last week from the Bachelorette I haven't a clue who these people are.

I think Gia's pretty, she just has duck lips... So, Tenley needs to stop this giggly, squeely ****. It's annoying!

I didn't even notice that there were more girls than guys.

I absolutely LOVE Twister. :)

Based on those spoilers: [SPOILER]Twister and Pie eating contest? The challenges they do seem alot like I Love Money. This is an epic fail.[/SPOILER]

[QUOTE=dplayer18;198694]Based on those spoilers: [SPOILER]Twister and Pie eating contest? The challenges they do seem alot like I Love Money. This is an epic fail.[/SPOILER][/QUOTE] Epic fail? I doubt it. While it was not the tightest two-hour reality production I've seen, I though it was pretty good. We'll know tomorrow when the ratings are in.

[QUOTE=molds13;198673]I didn't even notice that there were more girls than guys.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure there are more girls :D

[QUOTE=fabulous788;198711]I'm pretty sure there are more girls :D[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what I said...:D

[QUOTE=molds13;198715]Yeah, that's what I said...:D[/QUOTE] I'll let you think that ;) [QUOTE=RMD1;198720]Should I give this a shot?? It's on my DVR.[/QUOTE] I think you should at least try it out. It's entertaining to say the least, and I didn't even know any of the people. And they aren't that hard to look at :D

[QUOTE=V1man;198709]Epic fail? I doubt it. While it was not the tightest two-hour reality production I've seen, I though it was pretty good. We'll know tomorrow when the ratings are in.[/QUOTE] I was saying that based on the description of challenges on the spoilers. But I'm going to look into it and give it a shot.

I tried watching it last season but two hours was just too long. I'm going to give it another go this year though.

I haven't watched Bachelor in years, but I loved Bachelor Pad! I'm hoping Erica wins! :D

[QUOTE=salt&vinegar;251231]I haven't watched Bachelor in years, but I loved Bachelor Pad! I'm hoping Erica wins! :D[/QUOTE] Did you know that Erica was on VH1's "You're Cut Off"? I loved her on that show; she was my favourite of the cast.
