Did Ally make a mistake by keeping the wrestler?
There were a couple of other guys who creeped me out. What did you think?

I didn't realize the new show had started. Was it on tonight?

It started Monday after the Dancing with the Stars final.

Dara, I just watched the first episode. I don't think the wrestler was a mistake. I thought he was sincere but a couple of the others she kept were awful. The guy with the hair, I think his name was Craig. I certainly understand why she gave the first impression rose to Roberto! Whew! He's cute as a button.

I watched my recordings last night. So glad that she got rid of that bully, Craig(?). I have this weird vibe from the weatherman...he seems like he may be gay. No?

Yes, that Craig guy was awful! And he wasn't the least bit interested in her. I don't think the weatherman is the right guy for her either. And why did she keep that lawyer guy?

Lee, there is a guy there from my town. He's one of the ones who got a rose on a date, but I can't remember his name. He's from Geneva, IL. That's me!!

Cool! Are you rooting for him? Is he nice? Is he the one that pulled out the guitar on the beach at the photo shoot? Or is he the one with the studly body she had a one on one with where they flew to Vegas?

I skipped over the date sequences because I had 4 hours to watch. His name is Frank. They got a flat tire, I know that much. He was her first date for that show. I don't know enough about him to root for him for his benefit, but I'd like to see Geneva be on the show for a hometown date.

He was cute. And sweet, and they seemed to have good chemistry. :)

Oh Frank! I like him but I'm not sure he's going to be the one. I thought he was very sweet as well.

Just get to Geneva for my sake, Frank! Haha! One time a movie was filmed here, and the excitement almost killed me.

You never know, he might make it to the hometown visit!

So, thoughts on last night's episode?

How do you guys feel about Justin?

I'm loving Roberto right now. He's adorable.

I love Roberto too! I think that Justin is a little obnoxious with his attention hungry behavior, but (at least from what we see) I think the guys are too intense about their dislike of him. It's like Vienna Part 2. Isn't it funny that Ally led the charge against Vienna, and now she's in Jake's position in the same type of thing?

The two guys that she got rid of were kinda' creeping me out so I'm glad that she ditched them. It looks like there is more creepy behavior next week...did you guys watch the "next time on...."?

I like Roberto too. I hope he isn't too good to be true though.
I don't quite understand why the guys hate Justin so much. He seems pretty harmless to me and I think he's there for the right reasons. I hate how they interpret all of his actions in a negative way. I personally wouldn't go for him but I don't think there is anything wrong with him. I don't like all the ganging up behaviour.

That Casey seems a little creepy. The one with the funny voice who seems to get into trouble next week with obsessive behaviour. I can't wait to see what that's all about.

I don't understand why she kept that lawyer guy. I don't like him or find him attractive at all.

Who's the lawyer guy?? Casey is ultra-creepy! What actually is the deal with his voice? Is it an accent or a voice quality thing? Either way it makes me skin crawl.

I think the lawyer guy's name is Craig. He's one of the guys that is always confronting Justin.

Casey makes my skin crawl too! Or at least his voice does. I don't think it's an accent, I think it's just the quality of his voice.

I looked up the lawyer guy, and I don't like him either. And Casey's bio shows him from California, so I think you are right about it just being his voice. There is one other guy that I can't stand...he always looks like he is sick to his stomach. I forgot his name already, argh!

He looks like he's sick to his stomach? Heehee, I wonder who that is?

It's Chris N. I just looked him up. He could not look less thrilled at those rose ceremonies. I swear one of these times he is going to throw up. Just wait and see.

Yeah, Justin does seem harmless, either that or they're editing him for the win...hm. Interesting.

Yeah, the guy with the voice creeps me out.

Heehee, I just looked him up too! Yes, he does look awfully queasy at the rose ceremonies doesn't he? The poor sweetie. The other guy I don't really like is Ty.

One thing I don't get is why she's keeping the weatherman around. They don't seem to have a romantic connection. I mean he's probably a nice guy but I don't seem them "connecting". Don't you think it's funny how they all use the word connection so much?

I think she is keeping the weatherman for now because he tells her things, and she seems to trust his opinion. Just my guess. I don't see them connecting with a connection either, haha!

Ahh, I never thought of that. Good point.

**S P O I L E R**

I can clue you in. I saw a magazine in the grocery store. Casey gets a tatoo on his wrist (of a rose)

Frank, I believe has an ex-girlfriend, I think they said.

Justin has 3 girlfriends.

I was hoping she would get rid of the weatherman. I just don't care for him. He couldn't even kiss her.

I don't like Justin.

I like Frank, but Roberto and her seem suited to each other.

A tattoo of a rose on his wrist??? That is so cheesy and weird.

I hope Justin doesn't realy have 3 girlfriends. That would really piss me off.

Is Frank the one from Christine's hometown? I like him too but I don't think he's manly enough for Ally. I think she is already half gone for Roberto.

Yeah, I am only rooting for Frank so that the hometown date thing is taped here (although his family lives in Bartlett, which might be where they would go, which would be so not cool).

Roberto is awesome. I hope he doesn't have skeletons in his closet.

I always hate to admit that I watch this show, but I do! Even if I just make fun of it while doing so! LOL

As for the guys, the Weatherman annoys the hell out of me! I lost all respect for him when he wouldn't admit to being the one to call that guy "dangerous" when everyone knew he was the one.

As for the wrestler (sorry I haven't bothered to learn their names yet, when there are less I will), I saw clips of when he walked to Ali's house and at different moments a different foot was broken. One time the "cast" was on the right, another on the left. Fishy FISHY! Ah, the deceit.

The weatherman is annoying, agreed! But I may not have been able to admit that I called that guy dangerous either in his shoes because that dude was such a bully. I think the weatherman was seriously afraid of him. I still think the weatherman is gay.

Nikki, I don't tell everyone I know that I watch either (haha), but I always do. I also will probably watch the Bachelor Pad if there isn't anything else on when it starts.

I can't keep myself from watching either Nikki even though I know it's crap and it rarely ever ends in well after the show is over.

Christine, what is the bachelor pad?

Lee, I read in Entertainment Weekly that Chris (host) will be hosting a summer spin-off called The Bachelor Pad where previous Bachelors and Bachelorettes are put together, and there are competitions and such. They will have the chance to find their match as well. I'm sure it's total crap, but I'll watch it anyway.

I can't believe that Casy didn't get the hook last night. What is up with that?

Huh, that does sound like total crap but I'm going to watch it too!

I don't see why she's keeping Casey arouond at all. You can tell she is not turned on by his cheesy lines and singing. Enough with all the singing already. *shudder*

Oh gosh Casey is the tattoo-getting guy right? AH! I think he is a little off mentally (maybe more than a little lol). I can't believe she didn't just get rid of him when he clearly thought he was auditioning for the Backstreet Boys or something! I was glad to see the Weatherman go, but I didn't understand the other guy. It should have been the Backstreet Boy for sure, I wonder if she had seen the tattoo if he would have left then?

Why do we watch this stuff when we know it is crap and we aren't even willing to admit we watch it? LOL Well I guess, for me personally I gain enjoyment from making fun of the whole thing....but I don't wish to admit I watch it for fear someone will actually think I take it seriously? That sounds like solid reasoning....hehe.

I was glad the weatherman went. I can't believe he thought he should have gotten a rose. Talk about delusional. I wish Casey would have been booted too. I think (hope)he will go next week. I can't believe I thought he was sweet the first time I saw him.

I know it is way early to predict but,I think it may end up between KIrk and Roberto.

The other guy that she got rid of reminded me of Michael Phelps...why did she ditch him? I must have missed something. Hey Lee, Chris N. managed to make it through another rose ceremony without throwing up, good for him! Haha!

Yes, the tattoo guy who can't hold a note. It should be an automatic elimination if they sing. Like a secret door should open up and suck them in.

LOL love that idea Christine!! I'm so tired of hearing these guys sing and/or play guitar. It's just one giant audition!

Another plus about the weatherman being gone? No more utterly annoying weather analogies!

But Nikki, will the show be as sunny without the weatherman, or will her judgment get cloudy without him? (haha!)

Haha, I was watching Chris N's face during the rose ceremony and sure enough, he looked ready to hurl until he got a rose. I'm not sure why he's still around either. I don't remember ever seeing them even chat. Maybe she just looks at his face and fears for the state of the room if he lets out so she gives him a pity rose.

I'm waiting to see her face when she gets a load of Casey's cheesy heart/rose/shield tattoo. What a nut!

LOL funny stuff Christine!

Lee--I just hope she finds the tattoo freaky/offensive, what if she reacts like its flattering? Aye, I don't think I could tolerate Casey for much longer, he's crazy!

Nikki, I can't imagine her liking the tattoo. I think she liked the candy thing, and she thought he was toning it down. Did you see the "next time on" segment where she said something about just wanting him to "act normal"?

Lee, I bet you are right! Maybe Ali fears a vomit scene so she just throws him one to be safe. That has to be it.

Seriously, if Casey uses the "guard and protect her heart" line one more time I may just have to drive over there and slap him. Watch for me entering stage left.

I would have run onto camera and slapped Casey when he said the "guard and protect her heart" thing, but that frozen tundra was intimidating. I'm glad that she abandoned him there (that sounds awful, but he truly creeped me out).

Who do you think the guy is who gets in trouble next week???

I was watching for you on set Christine! Allie was very gracious after Casey was dropped - I would have been high-fiving everyone and making a toast to my guarded heart.

And, my goodness is Chris N. really that awkward or did they just do a great editing job?

Chris N. always looked awkward to me. Yikes!

So Shelley, who do you think gets busted next week?

So Casey and the barfer are finally gone. Whew!

I was watching the preview trying to figure out who the guy with the girlfriend is but it's difficult to tell. What do you guys think? I don't think it's Roberto. I don't blame her for being scared to fall in love with that hunk. He's adorable.

Wasn't Iceland beautiful? I'd love to go there.

I'm afraid that she'll eliminate Roberto because he's so awesome that it's intimidating. Love him.

Iceland was gorgeous, agreed!

My guess was that the guy with the girlfriend is Ty. It's a guess based on body type...it didn't look like Frank, and it can't be Roberto.
