    My wife has been watching this "show" since it's incidious inception. I was home last night so I ended up watching the final episode.

    This will be the 3rd final episode of this series that I have seen and I have a couple of observations.

    1. M.Knight Shymalan must be the EP. - The entire episode seemed geared towards one goal: making you firmly believe that he would pick the hot girl (Moana?). OMG, this chick was smokin'. She apparently spoke several languages, surfed, was super into him, and was willing to relocate.
    Instead he ends up picking Sarah. Sarah is a Kindergarten teacher (more on this shortly) who lived a block from him in Nashville and wanted nothing more than to get married (in Nashville), have kids (in Nashville), and then grow old and eventually die and be buried, (you guessed it in Nashville).
    He meanwhile may be moving after his residency (from what I gathered).
    He went with safe over adventrous although the entire point of the episode seemed to be about how much he was into Moana. It was everything I could do not to scream "IDIOT!!! That chick is so HOT!" at the TV with my wife sitting next to me.

    2. Kindergarten teachers are freaks. - PLEASE. There is no possible way that this guy is picking this butterfaced KindeeGarden "teacher" (I use that term LOOSELY) over Moana unless there is something they aren't sharing. In fact, there can be only one reason: She is an absolute freak in the bedroom. Hey, it isn't like I haven't heard that before about the K-grade teachers. So when your wife / girlfriend asks what possible reason he could have for picking Sarah over Moana, you can sum it up in one word (say it with me now...): POOPER.

    3. DUH! - I heard at least a month ago that these two were seen working out together at a gym in Nashville. In fact, I told my wife that when she was watching the second episode or so.

    "Honey watch this with me."

    "Why? He ends up picking the chick from Nashville."

    "HOW DO YOU KNOW? THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN KNOW THAT!"

    "I read it on the internet..." Gotta admit, I felt pretty stupid even speaking that phrase of proof of anything...

    "Ya, OK..."

    Well I was right. BTW, if they are that crappy at keeping that a secret, I hope ABC sued them, for TONS of money.

    Any observations from you cats (or kittens)?

    That is one show I will NOT watch. Desperate Housewives, is one thing, it's not a show meant solely for women, and I really like the show. However, the Bachelor, UGH. Now, I did watch the Bachlorette with Trista Rehn for the most part, but only because she was SO hot.

    Sad to say, I also watched it this year. This was the first time for me. As far as I was concerned, I thought Sarah would have been booted a while ago. They never showed much chemistry between the two.

    Moana was very attractive, and I liked her personality a lot. Reminded me of a girl I dated a few years ago.

    In the end, the only reason I could see him choosing Sarah was out of convenience. Much easier to date someone a mile away than it is to date someone 1,000 miles away. And I don't think Travis plans on marrying anyone anytime soon.

    Either way, Moana seemed painfully upset watching her leave, at the end.

    "Reality" TV shows are made specifically for morons, idiots and r****ds.

    If you watch a "reality" TV show, you are either (A)a moron, (B)an idiot, or (C)a r****d.

    That is all. Carry on.

    Hmmm, and ABC aired the show. I'd say they are playing to the base.

    I've been called all three. Seriously, though. Couldn't that be said for all TV? They don't call it an Idiot box for nothing.

    The entire universe gets a little dumber every time Wifeswap comes on.

    "OMG, this week, a slob and a neat freak are swapping families! It's only been one episode since they've done that one!"

    I just wonder if the families would still get paid if the moms just went over there, didn't change a single rule, and just partied for a week...

    Agreed (on the second part...having met you, you are neither of the three words I used).

    Seems like the only things I watch on TV anymore are PBS, live sports, ESPN Classic, peripheral cable channels like Ovation and BET Jazz, and movie channels.

    You didn't watch all of the episodes. All of the women hated her and she was considered the b**** of the group.

    Butterfaced? I thought she was one of the hotter chicks from day one. Moaner had a better body though.

    I saw bits and pieces of several episode...the best being the first when one of the chicks had a meltdown after she he didn't choose her. She told him how she was "ready to reproduce". Needless to say he was taken aback by that one.

    I'm with ya, Tex. I did find myself watching a little bit of Dancing With the Stars (thanks Mr. Brightside! :eek: :mad: ;) ), but other than that show, I don't watch that reality TV crap. Just give me ESPN, the cable channels that show sports as well as Seinfeld, The Simpsons, and Family Guy and VH-1 classic with a little A&E and History channel thrown in and I am good.

    God, I hate knowing this.

    The main reason the women didn't like her was because they thought she didn't want to date him. She put up a shell at the start that gradually came down. But, at the time, the other women thought she wasn't interested, and should have bowed out on her own.

    On that reunion show, when the women had seen how she bevhaved with Travis, just about all of them changed their tune about her.

    Flavor of Love is where it's at. nothing quite entertaining than a bunch 20 somethings trying to catch the heart of a 47 year old rapper who likes to rock a clock around his neck.

    BTW, did anyone watch Kimmel last night? First he spoiled who won the Bachelor earlier that night, causing two women to scream out and show obvious feelings of betrayal that he let the cat out of the bag before they could watch their Tivo'd version.

    Second he mentioned flavor of love being the better show. Then he showed an episode of that where a woman, right before leaving, spits in another girls face, causing one hell of a funny catfight. I'd have loved to see that on The Bachelor.

    That might have been the greatest moment in reality television history.

    Dude, turn in your man card. Might as well start watching Bravo or Lifetime.
