Chris-Harrison-ext_l You'll have to bear with me. As some of my Twitter friends already know, I attempted to type this week's blog on my iPhone while attending an AYSO coaches meeting. There's two hours of my life I'll never get back. But at least I now know not to yell at kids, leave trash, or bring dogs on school property. Contrary to some comments, I still read most if not all of your comments. Some have mentioned that I've gotten away from talking about behind-the-scenes stuff. I'll try to do better about that. I've also noticed a lot of anger in the air. Look, I realize these are tough economic times. I also realize our government is attempting to spend more money than our children's children's children will ever be able to pay back but let's remember what a very famous man once said: "All you need is love." And that's what this show is all about. Take away the guys crying on banisters, oil rubdowns (Wow, I felt a little uncomfortable watching that one myself), rumors and lies...this show comes down to one simple word: LOVE. You can all speculate and talk about Jillian's choices and character but bottom line is next Monday night you will all see firsthand if she found what she was so desperately looking for. I also read that many of you are up in arms over who we have or haven't chosen as our next Bachelor. Relax people, I can tell you with one hundred percent certainty that we have not picked our next bachelor. In fact, I'd love to continue to hear your comments on who you would like to see in that role and why. Oh, Amy, sorry that this new blog picture isn't much better. I have to agree, it looks like I'm wearing my dad's suit. Still not sure how those pics get chosen to be on the blog. I'm going to ask my friend Gilles Marini if he'll let me use one of his shirtless photos from now on.

Let's talk about this week's special, "Men Tell All." I will be honest, I didn't expect a whole lot from these guys. First of all, guys rarely hold grudges for very long, and this show is shot eight weeks after the taping has concluded. Secondly, guys are like goldfish. Sure we get mad but two seconds later we're distracted and we forget and move on. This wasn't the case with this group of guys. This show got out of hand in a hurry. I mean, come on. Did anybody ever expect Jake to throw out an "F" bomb? Because the guys were so good, we had to edit the show a bit more than we expected. We planned on showing some other fluff stuff, like a cute piece about former bachelors and bachelorettes who got together for a "reunion" in Vegas. The taping started with about 20 minutes of the guys ganging up on Jake. I'll admit I do understand where the guys are coming from here but what I don't get is how worked up they get about it. Who cares if he comes off as "Mr. Perfect." I don't recall asking any of them to marry him.

JUAN for the NEXT BACHELOR. He is handsome, funny, intelligent and a caring man. Just what is needed. No phony. Also, you guys should have let Wes on the tell his side or shoot himself in the foot again, whatever. Let's change the show format and at the final 3, let them date outide cameras for 6 months and then come back for the FR and make a commitment or not. Bet you would have a lot more successful marriages.

I would really like to see something different next time. I like the idea about the twins being on the show & picking other twin mates.
Or what about more mature singles with better morales, like Jake & Juan. NOt so much drinking on the show either. Who wants to marry a drunk?? not Me - Been there & done that- it is not a good thing.
Why do you have to have a proposal, Just choose one you love & them promise to date for 6 months or so and see if it works out.
I loved Jillian & Jason too on the previous shows, but then it is different when they are the one's on the hot seat.
Why don't you let the good guys or final 4 come back to the next bachelorette show??

I'd like for it to be more interesting next season. Not just a strange ending.

Hope to be watching again next time.
