Mar 7 2006The Bachelor Couple fulfill their contractual obligations
Dr. Travis Stork and Sarah Stone, the "winning" couple from The Bachelor: Paris, have decided to go the route of Nessica and Braniston and call it quits. Alas, there will be no Travrah. The couple says the primary reason for the split was being forced to stay apart during the all-important first three-month incubative phase of their relationship in order to keep the ending a surprise.
What are the odds that two people who fall for each other while in Paris filming a reality show would end up splitting when they're left in Nashville and the cameras are turned off? I haven't been this shocked since the last Bachelor couple broke up.

I hate everything about this crap. Maybe it's all the manipulation by the behind the scenes TV people who are basically scamming people to create temporary emotions to make money off of them.
And I can't say I think much of the people either. But I guess the new white trash of America will do anything for a free trip.
Then it's back home to the trailer park of your life.

yeah, because we all know that they would have lived happily ever after if only they hadn't been separated for a few measly months- it was true love for sure

#1. It's not white trash, it's Caucasion Waste.
And I guess I'd be more interested if our current marriage success rate was something other than around %50.
But It's not.

This show is still on because why?
This guy should do what the rest of us do, order brides from online Russian catalogs.

I'm more of the scripted-dating shows on MTV kinda fan.
Because that shit doesn't take itself so seriously.

I'd like to know how they stayed apart for 3 months. Didn't they live like 2 streets down from each other?
By the way, you guys are the only ones who know that I watched this shit so shhhh, it's a secret.

What they should call it is "The Huge Fucking Gang Bang Show," that'd definetly be the best Reality show I know of.

I don't give a rat's ass what these 2 trolls do. Jeeeezuz! I mean who gives a fuck?!!!

I have zero respect and even less attention span for that TV show and its participants. OUT with them all..ugh!

And yet people continue to watch this DRECK! Those are several more hours of your life that you will never get back.
There used to be a really clever show on ABC starring Tim Daly called, "Eyes". It was pulled from the lineup to make way for "Dancing With The Stars". At the time, I scoffed at the notion that there would be millions of mindless folk who wanted to stare at D+ "celebrities" ballroom dance every week. Sad, sad stuff indeed.

well, i don;t watch any of that crap, but one show that I miss is Dead Like Me, which was on Showtime, and it was replaced by Weeds, which is about a white woman who sells pot...ooo, very controversial.

One of the top 3(one of the sarahs i think) girls lives in my city(winnipeg) and works with one of my friends.
She was saying how the show was so very scripted from what they said to what they wore and who they fought with. She was saying that if you got rejected and could make yourself cry you would get an extra 1000 dollars. Its kind of funny tho, because she had a boyfriend when she left for the show.

Thanks for ruining the ending of the season that hasn't even been screened in Australia yet... We're about 4 seasons behind I think... We haven't seen 'The Bachelor: The Gay Files' or 'The Bachelor: I've Come Back To Choose Another Girl Because The First One I Chose Dumped Me For The Producer'
They deported the Bachelor to France? What a fantastic twist...I guess the whole of America is sick of them...
14. HughJorganthethird - March 8, 2006 7:14 AM
This show is still on TV? Who knew.
15. CheekyChops - March 8, 2006 8:39 AM
Who gives a rat's ass?
16. gjp - March 8, 2006 9:22 AM
I have never watched this show, the entire idea is absurd - I am just waiting until the plug gets pulled...
17. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - March 8, 2006 10:01 AM
Alas, for my name is Travrah, and I do not wish to be associated with the coupling of two names from the reality TV syndicate. I feel bad for all the children named Bennifer and Brangelina right now.
18. SuperSpence - March 8, 2006 10:04 AM
Is that show still on?
19. Shaun - March 8, 2006 10:08 AM
That show is useless. The one episode I watched made me want to beat myself with the shovel Norman Bates used to clobber the old lady. I am not sure how that show keeps an audience.
Maybe we should ask Joe Rogan, he knows about crappy shows. :D.
20. mamacita - March 8, 2006 10:19 AM
I've never seen that show, but the commercials alone make me want to stab myself in the throat. Wait, no, stab them in the throat. Well, just stab someone.........anyone.
21. suzy - March 8, 2006 10:42 AM
at least he was hot
22. memichelle77 - March 8, 2006 10:49 AM
You people are so sarcastic! If we can't believe that love exists on reality television, then what can we believe in? If we take the power away from the network executives to decide who is beautiful and who is not, who deserves love and who does not and who should be exploited and who should not, then who is going to make these decisions for us? I beg you all not to give up on "reality love," because it is one of the only things left in our society that is pure and good. Thank you.
23. mattnoks - March 8, 2006 11:13 AM
They didn't stay apart for 3 months. I live in Nashville and everyday I had to hear some idiot talk about where they were spotted last. This show is fake. The girl is dating a Tennessee Titans roommate and the Dr. is a slut. Everybody stop thinking these people fall in love.
24. bjpack - March 8, 2006 11:14 AM
I don't know anything about this show, but Dr. Stork sounds like a character from a book for kids about how babies are made.
25. ESQ - March 8, 2006 11:17 AM
Good, hopefully this will give the network a reason to permanently cancel this show as it has proven it doesn't work! Only except for Trisha and what's his name.
This show is so contribe. The people that participant cannot obviously get it together to find a match in the real world and they think their only hope is getting on a show like this. Please get over yourselves, act nomal and stop thinking you are all that and perhaps you may or may not find someone half decent to hook-up with.
26. neenaboneena - March 8, 2006 11:53 AM
Um... I think some of us may be missing the beauty of this show. It's not about watching two people fall in love (although that is lovely). It's about crying and cat fights and girls with southern accents trying to say 'merci beaucoup' without the p sound at the end. Only thing better than the Bachelor is Flavor of Love, aka, the Ghetto Bachelor.
27. Chica44 - March 8, 2006 12:30 PM
#23---I'm right there with you. I live in Nashville too. Before the show was over, everyone knew he picked Sarah, they were never a couple, and that she was even dating someone else within those 3 months. Dr. Stork is too much of a partier I think, and Sarah seems like a sweet average girl.
28. Chica44 - March 8, 2006 12:33 PM
For those of you from Nashville....how do you afford to live in Green Hills on a elemenarty teacher's salary? Does she work at a private school or does her family have money?
29. CheekyChops - March 8, 2006 1:22 PM
#28, by going on reality dating shows and being paid well?
30. katie - March 8, 2006 1:34 PM
its still on bc desperate women everywhere watch it and fantasize about being "the girl a romantic man picks". its pretty obvious why its still on. america is stupid.
31. Dee - March 8, 2006 1:45 PM
Sara was boring as hell and it was obvious he had no attraction to her, though he didnt seems to be attracted to any of them.
I only watch to laugh, btw.
32. LoneWolf - March 8, 2006 2:17 PM
It's supply and demand, my brothas and sistas - if people wouldn't watch this crappola, they wouldn't put it on TV. It's a sad commentary on our tabloid-reacing, dull-eyed, nonexsitent-alpha-wave society that visual dog vomit passes for entertainment any more.
Me, I'm looking forward to the season debuts of "The Pedophile - Disneyland" and "Popping Zits With The Stars".
33. WindyT - March 8, 2006 6:22 PM
Ahhh...
Remember the days when Joe Millionaire was on, and the caption simply read,
"Slurrp!" ?
We need more "Slurrp!"
34. mattnoks - March 9, 2006 10:11 AM
#28 I don't know exactly where she lives but its completely possibly if you rent or are buying something small. Otherwise she probably gets help from mom and dad.
35. reesestet - March 9, 2006 2:22 PM
The mere thought of my married name being "Sarah Stone-Stork" would give me cold feet too, Sarah. And I am almost certain that PETA would have an issue with the whole Stone-Stork thing. Pam Anderson would forever be on your ass. Wise move.

what who?! boring!!!
