Next season on The Bachelor

[Amiens]

yummy! Does anyone think we can beat our numbers for TomKat?

I didn't watch this season, but it looks like next season will be on TiVo.

As Borat would say "Very nice!"

My husband commented that if he had started a thread like this about a girl, he would be sleeping on the sofa. At least my man knows his place. Total hipocracy. Oh well.

I was actually thinking the same thing when I first saw it (but that didn't stop me from drooling). I just wondered what the guys here think ... and what our reaction would be if the guys kept posting juicy pics of famous women.

Not that I'M suggesting we stop - I'm right there w/you as the hypocritical co-captain! :!

Although I'm one of those freaks who doesn't mind when the husband looks at pics of other women. He does like Motor Trend better than Maxim though. Should I be worried?

The new bachelor is definitely hotter then the previous few. What kind of doctor is he?

[SuzySunshine]

jrshoot may be able to answer that since her DH knows him but they didn't say on the preview, just a Navy doc.

I read that he trained as a general surgeon. Some info about him from http://www.ironmitch.com :

Re: Profession

It was my understanding that he was training to be an orthopedic surgeon.

Typical or stereotypical. Jock=orthopod.

Whatever, as long as he has lots of shirtless time. I may mute the tv.

So Dr. Baldwin just broke the news on "Dancing With The Stars": he's engaged.

[Momo]

I don't watch the show, but he did tell the ladies on The View last week that he had given the "winner" a ring, and that they are totally in love. His sister was in the audiance and said the family really liked her a lot!

I should have posted this here...

So this was in our paper today...

“The Bachelor” (8:45 p.m., ABC) returns
for what seems like the 400th season. And
this season’s Prince Charming seems
almost too good to be true.
Andy Baldwin grew up on a Pennsylvania
farm to a family of modest means.
As a kid, he worked three jobs and earned
the paperboy-of-the-year citation. He
became a nationally
known swimmer,
earned scholarships
to Duke,
where he excelled, then joined the Navy
and trained to be a Navy Seal. He took
advantage of an opportunity to go to medical
school, where he excelled. He has
recently received some kind of humanitarian-
of-the-year award for his work with
orphans. And in his spare time, he works
out to perfect his chiseled physique and
participates in Iron Man triathlons. Where
he excels.
And as if to polish his Mr. Perfect credentials,
he drives off to his bachelor mansion
in a car that resembles the DeLorean
in “Back to the Future.” These women
aren’t going to date a “Bachelor,” they’re
going out with Batman!
You have to wonder how a fellow this
brave, clean and reverent managed to
avoid Cupid’s arrows all these many years.
And why someone who appears to be such
a straight shooter now wants to dip his
Iron Man toe in the fetid waters of reality
television. Is he an officer, a gentleman
and an exhibitionist?
Seriously, if a guy like Baldwin can’t
find a date on a Saturday night, what about
the average Joe nonmillionaire? Anybody
who says they watch “The Bachelor”
because it’s romantic is either deranged or
a liar. This depressing spectacle should
have been put out its misery a long time
ago.

I have to say, he has a point!

I will admit he's cute

[SuzySunshine]

Ok, there is still 30 minutes left and he's mentioned twice that they are smart, educated and have careers like he's surprised they're not a bunch of dingbats.

[alison]

I can't believe dh and I watched this. It's so embarrassing on so many levels!

[Meenah]

I watched it too!!

[DCJenn]

Trainwreck like Britney Spears bad? or more of a embarrassment for all involved kind of thing?

Could we merge the two Bachelor threads?
