The first round of questions has come and gone, and now Sarah is faced with the first of many excruciatingly hard decisions. There are six contestants, and Sarah only has four roses to give out. Who will she choose? To make sure she chooses the right men, Sarah takes a look at each contestants’ response and gives here opinions:
Daniel Ewald
1. Easy: Hit up the Cinct, call in two BPs, medium rare, the night’s ours. Then head to 5th and Vine for a leisurely stroll under the lights.
2. No question about it, we were meant for each other. We caught each other’s eyes and it was love at first sight. Trust me, it happened.
3. Don’t Stop Believing/Journey – This is exactly how we met, if you use your imagination. i think of Sarah Baby every time i hear that beautiful song.
4. Man, there’s so many options. Probably that awesome diamond necklace at Kay Jewelers. Don’t worry, I’ve got connections.
5. What can I say? We’re simply in love. This was meant for us. True love will always find a way.
Sarah:
1. Medium rare is way too bloody..grody!
2. He definitely caught my eye, but I’m not entirely sold on the whole love-at-first-sight thing.
3. Love. That. Song.
4. Every kiss does begin with Kay!
5. So cliche, but I’m a sucker for romance!
Chris Comisar:
1. Dinner and a movie.
2. I’m just a stud.
3. Taylor Swift “You Belong to Me”… duh…
4. $20…
5. Because I’m a winner, and winners get what they want.
Sarah:
1. As long as we can see a “chick flick”, I’m game.
2. I am attracted to studs.
3. You can’t go wrong with T. Swift.
4. Great idea! I won’t have to pretend I like it if I hate it.
5. I tend to root for the underdog…
Joel Beeby:
1. Probably Skype her. Ask her “what’s up.” She’ll say “not much.” Things will get really romantic from there when I say “me either.”
2. My Farmville farm has over 600 different plant varieties and 1300 cows. I make 10 gold coins a day, so basically I’m loaded.
3. Probably the song “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga because my Farmville how-to videos on YouTube have over 500 views, making me famous. With fame comes a cult paparazzi-esque following, and I have so many girls wanting to be my Farmville neighbors (two at the moment!) that she’ll have to “chase [me] down til [she] loves me.”
4. I would use it to buy her some Farmville items so that she can start making gold coins as well, which look great on other people’s news feeds.
5. Why do I deserve a rose? I don’t really, I already have 45 plots dedicated to red roses on Farmville, and their growth cycle is only one day, so I have roses anytime I need them. Once she chooses me and follows my how-to Farmville videos, she will have all the roses she wants and there won’t be a need to give away only one rose.
Sarah:
1. I don’t have Skype so this date wouldn’t work.
2. I’ve never been on Farmville, but that seems pretty impressive.
3. Lady Gaga is overrated.
4. See number 2.
5. See number 2 and 4…no Farmville.
Ben Gorman:
1. I’d take her to an Italian restaurant (Italy is pretty romantic) with soft music in the background that gives off a feel of faraway lands.
2. I will soothe your heartache and show you what you have been missing your 4 years of high school. When you are sad I will cheer you up with a song or perhaps a joke. When you are lonely, I will give you company. I will be there.
3. “You Belong to Me”- Taylor Swift, because what she has been looking for has been here the whole time (me).
4. Bath salts… girls love bath salts.
5. Without a rose, the right man will be out first round. I’m in it for as long as it counts.
Sarah:
1. That sounds like a lovely idea.
2. This is too sweet! Definitely bachelorette material.
3. You really can’t go wrong with Taylor.
4. Bath salts kind of gross me out…
5. I don’t know what to say to this haha.
Jacob Davis:
1.On the first day with the bachelorette I would take her out to dinner and then talk about any of her past relationships and why didn’t they work.
2. I’m the right man for the bachelorette because I’m handsome, admirable, aristocratic, and athletic.
3. The song that I would say that describes me and the bachelorette relationship is Luther Vandross “If Only for One Night”.
4. With twenty dollars I would buy the bachelorette a bracelet that she would remember me by.
5. I deserve the rose because the bachelorette deserves a man who knows how to treat a woman and will do anything to impress her.
Sarah:
1. I don’t really like talking about past relationships, especially on the first date.
2. Those are all great qualities!
3. I don’t think I’ve heard that song.
4. I wear bracelets every day so that’s an amazing idea!
5. Yes I do..great answer!
Hans Hinebaugh:
1. Definitely have to start at Terry’s Turf Club, then head to downtown Cincinnati, but I’m not sure what to do from there. It’s her choice. But first of all I would have to meet her…
2. Why not? I’m so young and youthful. Only problem is I still have to meet her, but I’ve heard people saying her name before.
3. If you ask Sarah, she’ll probably say it’s soon to be the Elvis classic “Burning Love.” I guess I agree with her. I’m pretty sure it’ll eventually be “Let’s Get it On” by Marvin Gaye.
4. Either give her the $20 or get her a dog.
5. Not sure if I actually deserve the rose because I’ve never done anything, but I’d sure take it.
Sarah:
1. Terry’s is always delicious, but I’d say it’s more of a third date kind of place.
2. Emphasis on the “young”…I’m a little sad he doesn’t know who I am.
3. That’s a bit too forward for me.
4. I already have three dogs, but the $20 would be a nice gift.
5. At least he’s honest.
Sarah’s Final Decision:
I’d have to eliminate Chris because he didn’t put very much effort into his answers which makes me think he isn’t as invested in this process as I am. Also, I’d have to eliminate Joel. He is a great guy, but I don’t have Skype or Farmville so I’m not sure how well the relationship would work.

I enjoyed the answers that the guys gave, and I also apreciate the strength of the journalism. This article got me interested to see what happens next.
Ella Henning • Feb 25, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Whoever asked these questions is an amazing journalist. So clever. Great article.
Maddie Reed • Feb 25, 2011 at 12:08 pm
This article resonates with me for multiple reasons. First of all, I love the bachelorette on TV. Bringing this idea to the school is a fun way to write and entertain students. The article was very funny and the answers to the questions made me laugh. This article mainly resonated with me because it was just so enjoyable.
Scott Hill • Feb 25, 2011 at 11:41 am
Excellent choices Sarah, may I suggest that you keep an open mind so that you will be prepared when true love strikes!
Hanna • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:55 am
I enjoyed this article because it’s entertaining to read the question and answers, and also to see Sarah’s responses. I find this part of the Warpath a lot different, and it brings something new and engaging to the school. I don’t really take the time to read many of the articles on the website, honestly, but I really enjoy the play off the TV show’s “The Bachelor”. Apparently the Warpath has done the Bachelorette competition once before a few years ago, but I was never aware of this because I never took any interest in reading the school paper. This article is very amusing, and I’m looking forward to reading about the upcoming rose ceremonies.
Maddy McGraw • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:52 am
I enjoy watching the bachelorette on tv, however I really like reading about our edition here at Mariemont. The guys responses to the questions were pretty humerous.
Elizabeth • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:50 am
The article that resonates with me the best is “The Warpath Bachelorette: The First Rose Ceremony” by Luke Porst because this is what most teenage girls are interested in including myself. It is kind of like watching the show, but knowing the people who participate in it is more exciting. Plus, since this is more of a joke than to actually find someones soulmate, the guys who are wanting a date are funny and goof of with their questions. I have gotten to know the shy guys in the articles and it shows that they can be fun and sensitive.
Eric Nerl • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:49 am
This is a great article. It is very entertaining to read. Im pulling for Hans, you can do it kid.
Paul Flynn • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:47 am
I enjoyed reading this article because of the comical situation some of the students were placed. Even though a most of the contestants are not taking it seriously there still is a humorous competition that will lead to one guy becoming a lucky winner.
Morgan • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:22 am
I liked this article and thought it was an entertaing piece to read. It was really funny to read the guy’s answers to their questions and then Sarahs reaction to the answers. This was a creative and well written article that was extremely enjoyable to read and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Nick Fries • Feb 25, 2011 at 10:11 am
The Warpath Bachelorette has always intrigued me because all of the contestants are people I know. This makes the whole series much more entertaining and humorous. I look forward to each article that is released on the topic. Go Ben and Jacob! Especially Jacob.
Blake Adams • Feb 25, 2011 at 8:49 am
I liked this article because it was funny to see what these people would do to win Sarah’s heart and it was interesting to see who she chose. I also liked the comments that the guys made. I’m looking forward to see who wins.
Regan • Feb 25, 2011 at 8:10 am
i liked this aritical because it is a bit of a change of the typical Warpath. I enjoyes keeping up with it Freshman year as well as this year! I like reading the Q&A session!
Michael Davis • Feb 24, 2011 at 8:51 am
I can’t believe my brother is going on! Im so proud of him and I know that he’s gonna make Sarah happy as a clam.
