"Blind Date" is much better.

[ewing]

Emin-a-date has got to be the cheesiest of these shows, some of the aspiring actresses will go to any lengths on a 'group date' with 4 other girls to sang a mate!

[ewing]

Or 'Cheaters'-I'm surprised someone doesnt get their lights punched out!

Maybe the show lost ratings because another garbage show (access hollywood, or Inside Edition, or some such garbage) let the cat out of the bag. Turns out the "bachelorette" is currently pregnant and living with...... one of the bachelors..

No s**t...????..really?....tell more..

[FReepaholic]

It's funny to see the difference between the men on this one and the women in the first one.

In the "Bachelor", the women left behind at the house would sit around and pine over the Bachelor or get into "cat fights" with the other women.

The men, in contrast, are hanging out and getting drunk with each other and having a good time.

Never watched either but this would be as I would expect. I go to an engineering school thats sorta a blown up version of the bachelorette.

[ewing]

Exactly as I predicted.

One guy skipped a contract to play basketball in Greece to hang out at the Bachelor frat house rent free!

[ewing]

I saw that she denied that she is pregnant to the NY Daily News..

[OldFriend]

Saw a half hour of the show for the first time. Trista's nothing more than a slut!

[Paradox]

This is according to my wife, who saw the program. She is apparently living with.. oh hell, I forgot his name, but I can tell you his description, so here it goes, a spoiler alert (that is, if my wife was in fact hearing and seeing correctly).

SPOILER ALERT (LOL, as if anyone even cares..)

[ewing]

No way! She was a Miami Heat dancer..

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

She's a chubby chaser?

[inflorida]

To sum up last night's show, Trista went on three dates with five guys at a time.

The first date was to Las Vegas and she ended up drinking too much and left with one of the dark-haired guys. They only showed them kissing but who knows....

Meanwhile the guys still at home got really drunk and had a great time.

One of the funniest parts of the show was when one of the bachelors passed out in his bed so they picked him up in the bed and put him in the front yard with a bottle of water next to him and what I thought was a bunny statue from the garden. He was passed out the entire time and of course, Trista ended up seeing him like that. I felt kind of bad for him.

Her second date was to a spa and the last was to a football game.

She had to eliminate seven guys last night and I don't know their names but one of the really hurt ones was the rodeo guy. She never gave him a chance because horses are such a large part of his life and she is allergic to horses.
