The Bachelor-episode 2 3 out of the 4 women I predicted for the "final 4" ladies made it through the first cut where 10 out of 25 were culled. I said that the Asian girl would be the only non-white making it past the first cut, but I was wrong, the brown chick made it too! He didn't choose either of the two black girls, though I thought one of them was pretty attractive, I won't ascribe racism as the motivation. It seemed like both the girls had strong personalities. Boy were the women catty! The initial contact involved a "party" where the 25 women had to impress him with their conversational skills so he'd select 15 of them to move on. Some of the morons were already fainting with the image of marrying the lug (who by the way has a degree in engineering, so he can't be a total idiot). One of the women was Miss Idaho, and here an exchange she had with another contestant: Other woman: You were Miss Idaho? That's so cool. Miss Idaho: Yeah, I was. Other woman: There aren't that many women in Idaho though! One woman to watch: Helene. She's a brunette so she stands out from the flaxen-haired crowd, and she's got a nice smile. The picture isn't too flattering in my opinion.
