Grown Man Ashamed To Have Figured Out Who Wins The Bachelor

In a charming YouTube video he describes as "proof I have too much time on my hands," a Canadian gentleman demonstrates with footage how he's figured out, only two episodes in, which woman Jason chooses in this season's The Bachelor. Spoiler alert:

I love when he curses while trying to find the right screencap, and insults himself for even watching the show. The commenters seem to love it, too. I predict marriage proposals! As for his "pinky ring theory," I'm cautiously optimistic but skeptical: after all, making all of the women pose while Jason pretends to propose to them is EXACTLY the type of thing they would do on this show.

The problem with The Bachelor is all the authentically crazy women are eliminated way too early (does anyone remember the "my eggs are rotting" lady a couple years ago? eliminated on day 1, right?) After that, the blandness just gets suffocating. It's time for the show to die.

Aw, I was hoping some kind of nosensical equation would be involved, like the lottery guy. I guess if I watched the Bachelor, I would care who he picked. Actually, no, I'd rather just get it overwith and get on with my life.

I got scared for a second because I was afraid it was me, but then I realized my pinky ring is made out of platinum not gold and he specifically said gold. Dodged a bullet there!

Do people gamble on The Bachelor? Is this something I can make money with? Is this Canadian my Marty McFly with the Sports Almanac?

Best part is when he says "ote" instead of "out"

I really liked how "OVER THIS" he is with his own video (while he's making it), but still so committed to getting his 15 seconds of internet fame that he goes through with the video.

The only issue i have with this theory is that, from where the bachelor is kneeling, the girl whose hand he is taking is on the left (from his point of view). The camera is filming her left side. In the clips that you showed, the pinkie ring is on her right hand, not her left. Even if she had handed him both hands (though it only looks like one, her left) the ring probably still wouldn't have been visible. it's also unlikely that if she usually wears it on her right, that she would have switched it to her left before the final elimination, knowing there is a chance she would get proposed to (why clutter up the ring hand??)

If you would have paid closer attention to the video clip. She is lifting her right hand, not the left, supporting all his theories and difusing yours.

I figured out who won the first season of Shot at Love with TT a couple weeks before the finale based on several commercials and promos for the show. You could match the shirt Bobby was wearing in the promo for the finale (which came out two or three weeks before the final episode aired) with the arm and hand holding the final key in the initial promo shot for the show. WOW! Wayyyyy too much time on my hands.

I am going to "thank you' now! THANK YOU! I stopped watching this HORRID TV show when the Bachelors stopped being serious about the whole thing--which was pretty much Season 1. YES--THANKYOU again!

sillycanadian:

in the proposal clip, we're looking at her left arm as you mention, but it's her right hand that is coming up, maybe to brush her hair away, maybe to put in front of her mouth as she says OMG! or something

I don't think the guy in the video is right about the winner.
ABC is smarter than that. They wouldn't make it that easy.

PLUS...I witnessed a Taping of this season in October.It was for one of the final episodes. Jason had the last 4 girls with him and she ,Melissa, wasn't one of them. They all signed there names where the filming took place and again, her name wasn't signed. All I know is that one of the girls had some devllish eve brows.

It is definitely Melissa. I could tell by her fingernails...they match up with the "mystery girl's"!

This is so funny! The Canadian dude is equal parts DORKY and COOL. I love that he beat the show"s producers at their own game and I appreciate that he shared his findings with us. Hysterical!

Oh, that proves nothing. I have a pinky ring that I wear. Sometimes. The neat thing about rings is, they go off and on and anyone can wear them. Just because she's wearing one in one episode doesn't mean she wears one everyday, nor does it mean that the other women don't wear one.

Bleh. I just wasted 3 minutes of my life on this.

No, I agree with the video guy. In the first episode my mom was paying attention to the girl's hand that he was putting the ring on and she noticed the girl had very distinctive fingers, especially the pinky. The next episode she watched, she noticed the girl's hands were Melissa's. He's right, sorry, ABC really is not that smart. You can almost always determine the winner by the previews.

Fun fact: That crazy Renee girl is also on an E! True Hollywood Story: Dating Nightmares. She's only on for a second, but you know its her because she has her dog that was featured in the first episode. Look for it.

After watching this spoiler, I really payed attention tonight while watching "the women tell all" and at the end when Molly is getting ready, after the blow drys her hair and she's sitting there with make-up already on her eyes, if you watch, she's wearing a gold pinky ring on the same hand that Melissa does. Guess it's all back up in the air now, right? LOL
