Well at least Jason wasn't begging for a second chance with Becca. More like a bit of closure. Classy all the way. He will talk to her soon... I am all for him for the Bachelor. There is just something sexy about him...and she again says he needs to find his happiness....as he sexily struts out. Ladies and gents...there struts your next Bachelor. Please!!! I'm all for it! Jason is cute, sexy and classy. He would be cuter with a different hairstyle, so if he DOES become the Bachelor, hopefully the show's stylists can spiff him up! I agree, fang2170. His hairstyle didn't cut it for me. Needed to look more natural, messier, masculine.

Poor Jason! I felt so bad for him, he was so invested. I was surprised when he returned, but he was very respectful. And the scrapbook broke my heart. I have no idea if she will choose Blake or Garrett, but think Blake will take things harder if it isn't him.

Garrett will be crushed if it isn't him; I am very concerned for Blake. I am afraid he may seriously have to see an emotional counselor to help him if he isn't the one. I also don't think (1)Blake would at all be emotionally ready for the role of the Bachelor lead or (that he is equipped for the lead role. Yes, he is good-looking and kind, but emotionally? You see how he is, and you know how they have to cut through the pack to get to thefinal one. It has been hard on Becca, and he is Becca plus in the male form).
If Garrett isn't chosen, I don't think he would even be considered for the role of next Bachelor because of all the negative criticism.
That leaves Jason and Colton. We will see Colton on Bachelor in Paradise with Tia - that has already been advertised. In my opinion, that may be Colton's shot at Bachelor publicity...maybe.
Depending on the feedback, Jason may have a good shot. They appear to want their lead to have suffered a heartbreak - he has now done so, and he handled himself very well. We will see.

Personally I'm not that impressed with the final 3 at all. I wouldn't want to watch any of them as The Bachelor. Colton is better, but still not all that great. I'd watch him, but I'm afraid TPTB would turn it into The Virgin, with constant references as if that's his entire personality. I'd be irritated & bored by that.
The only thing worse would be a retread of Boring Ben. I didn't make it through his last season & wouldn't want to see a new one.

Yes, I felt sorry for him, too. I kind of wish he would be The Bachelor. It would be funny if he took some of the ladies to Buffalo and made them repeat that stuff-your-face date. Then you'd really find out who "was in it for the right reasons."
Blake and Garrett are both so blah, I don't care which of them wins. If one of the gets to be TB, then it will be a long season.

I have been giving the possibility of Colton as the Bachelor some thought. In my opinion, if they considered Colton, the angle would not be that he is a virgin although they probably would not pass up the opportunity to zero in on that. Rather, they would focus on good-looking, built, blond FOOTBALL PLAYER. Now, it is true that way, way back when (Season 5) they had Jesse Palmer who was training in front of the camera and auditioning for his current spot as an announcer for ESPN ( we all decided that in retrospect). His season was a farce, an absolute joke, a caricature, almost a cartoon Bachelor season. In the intro when they showed him running and doing football type things - with his over voice speaking - he said, "I am tired of waking up every morning with a different face on the pillow next to me." His dates weren't serious, and he wasn't either. At the Final Rose Ceremony, he gave his F1 Jessica a one way ticket to NYC. (No ring, no promise, nothing else). She was a law student. I guess when it was promptly over, her parents had to buy her a plane ticket back home. Whatever else, Colton does have character. We saw that in the way he generally conducted himself and in the way he was with the kids in the hospital ( his charity). Now, that is the case for Colton. If they are considering Colton, it would come down to several things: How did people respond to both him and Jason? How did he and Tia turn out, and if they didn't, how did he acquit himself in Bachelor in Paradise? How did the fans like him?

I think Jason is way ahead of Colton to be the next bachelor, he gives a bit of a Milo vibe( this is us) . If they give him a makeover, ( hair) he'll be fine..except for the darn fake drama they will subject us to.(jmho though)

Does anyone else think that going on Bachelor In Paradise immediately after their time is up hurts a potential Bachelor/Bachelorette chances in the future? To date, the only one that went on from Bachelorette to Bachelor In Paradise to finally becoming The Bachelor has been Nick Viall. Am I right? To me, going on Bachelor In Paradise somewhat "taints" the character of whoever participates. Maybe not so much in the beginning of that program's inception, but recent seasons have been filled with sleaze-filled drama.
I kinda wish Colton had taken a pass on Bachelor In Paradise.

Joe the Grocer? He was never given a chance, and yet he became immensely popular almost over night. Now, Becca said she didn't give him a rose because he froze up in front of the camera and wasn't ready. Therefore, Bachelor in Paradise MIGHT be his audition. Colton, on the other hand, left under some controversy. Becca indicated Colton left due to what his Dad said. However, they inserted that segment with Tia ..... why? The controversy, therefore, is why exactly was Colton let go? Thus, we see Colton in Bachelor in Paradise with the chance to at least somewhat resolve the issue. I see Garrett excluded from the mix due to really bad publicity. Otherwise, I think you have Blake ( depending on Final Rose Ceremony outcome), Jason, Colton, and Joe the Grocer in the mix. I personally don't expect an announcement until close to the end or the end of Bachelor in Paradise.

I'm just not interested in any of the possibilities. It looks like Clay is no longer part of the mix. He's moved on to his real life. Smart guy. Joe The Grocer, we just don't know enough about. He's certainly got the looks & seemed nice on his 1 episode, but I doubt they'd go there. Too unknown. I find Jason boring, not all that good looking, & not appealing to me at all. Blake is another boring, not all that good looking & not appealing one. Plus, he's a downer & neurotic. I find his personality irritating. Colton seems nice enough, and is certainly good looking, but I doubt they'd go with Colton. Don't know why. I just doubt it. Garrett, I'd guess is spoken for. I've felt that way since Episode #1. But even if not, he just seems off putting to me. I don't like the way he trashes his ex wife on national TV. I don't care what she did. Keep it off the TV.
All in all, I just don't see anyone from this season that I'd want to watch, except maybe Colton, but even him not all that much. Maybe they'll pull another one out of the older seasons, although their choices of the last 2 were bottom of the barrel. The only possibility of past seasons is Peter, and I think he wants more money & exceptions than they're willing to offer.
I think what's happening is that TPTB want controversy & drama so bad that they're making all the contestants look so unappealing.

The last time they reached back they got Arie. He was very good as the F2 who fell hook, line, and sinker for Emily, but as the lead - we saw how that worked out.
As for Peter? His principle was that he was not going to propose unless he felt it was going to be the once and only time in his life. He could sense Rachel wasn't there, and she would not give him that assurance because of course he wasn't her intended F1. My belief is that they have never been able to get Peter to agree to propose at the end of a season as the lead. Now, I distinctly remember reading an an article where Fleiss flat came out and said his idea of a good season ended in a proposal. I don't think it was a money disagreement with Peter as lead. I think they couldn't make him agree to do what he doesn't want to do. Therefore, I think in a pinch they went with Arie who they had dangled on a line a couple of times before. I don't look to see Peter as the lead, but if we do, I suspect they will have capitulated. He will not be forced to propose - they will hope he finds someone and gets to that point on his own.

Can't wait to see him. I posted a link in his thread to an interview Jason did last week after the shooting of The Men Tell All. I'm assuming that's the new look she's taking about if you want to check it out. I thought he looked a lot better.

Jason is very articulate. It's quite refreshing to hear someone from the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise converse without using "like" or "um" all the time! I would love to see him as the Bachelor.

Forget the show, I'm just happy to see this forum. I thought you guys had disappeared. I tried posting on here and my link no longer worked and it took me to some other forum telling me this site was gone!!! I just now searched after weeks thinking you were gone and surprise, surprise! Yay. I had given up on Big Brother without you guys to watch it with. And I don't know what happened to my old login. But I don't care, just glad I was able to get back in.

Now as for the show, I really like the final two guys. I have never felt such compassion for the final 2 men like I do these 2 though I think it's obvious which one she should choose. Of course, that's going by the edits.
Yet there's a part of me that thinks they are both too good for her and that she will never be satisfied no matter who she chooses, that no one will ever be able to live up to her high standards. I need to catch up and find out what you guys are thinking.

Interesting how our tastes are so diverse. I would watch Jason or Blake and find them both handsome. Colton - not so much. He would have to impress me in Paradise to reconsider.

You're right about our taste differences being interesting. From the beginning of a season, when I first read on the board, I'm always absolutely shocked by who others find attractive or appealing. Arie & Nick were two of the most shocking to me that anyone would find them appealing. Arie struck me as smarmy & creepy & untrustworthy from day 1 of Emily's season. When other women found him attractive & wanted him as Bachelor I was totally shocked. Didn't they watch the same season as I did? Nick was even worse. The creepiest smarmiest most manipulative guy I could imagine, plus, he was totally unattractive to me. I mean, not even a little. When I saw women raving about him I thought it was their sick joke. Same as above...Didn't they watch the same season as I did? When he was chosen for The Bachelor I figured "no way would they choose such an awful person". I figured they wouldn't be able to get enough women contestants. But then, I have tastes & favorites that few others seemed to like. That's part of what's fun about being on this board during Bachelor/Bachelorette season. Seeing the different opinions & tastes in contestants. If we all had the same tastes this world would be a boring place.

If we all had the same tastes this world would be a boring place. SO MANY of the women talk about how handsome Nick is. Apparently, he's much better looking in person. It seems impossible that he would be THAT much better looking IRL, but it sounds like that's the case. I wasn't his biggest fan, but I always appreciated that he could articulate his feelings. A nice change from Farmer Chris and his Beevis and Butthead-type laugh and inarticulate mutterings.
I like Colton, but I also think he's dull as toast. Very sweet, but he doesn't strike me as the sharpest knife in the drawer. I couldn't bear to watch a whole season of him. He's pretty, but I don't think he'd make a good bachelor.
I'd be good with Blake or Jason (if he changes his hair). The last time the show picked a Bach from contestants who'd been eliminated earlier in the season, we ended up with scummy Juan Pablo. Better to pick from the guys who've lasted longer, so TPTB can really get to know their personality first. Obviously, you never know how they'll do as lead (remember Blob?), but it's a safer bet than someone who only lasts a few episodes.
I generally don't find many guys in this franchise that are my type. JP stands out as one of the few. I find most of them insipid, too interested in themselves and way too bro-ish for my tastes.

Jason has the well defined widow's peak....plus...his hair recedes on both sides of the peak. I am not sure he can wear it much differently. That said, less product is a definite improvement. He really does have a very nice face which carries him a long, long way!
