Do you think that Trista can have feelings for all you?? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:30pm CT Is it possible yes, but probable...no... I think she had a great time with most everybody but I think she definitely had more of a connection with a select few. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erica from [205.188.209.101], at 6:31pm CT What basketball team do you play for? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:32pm CT I can't tell you which team I played for because I wouldn't want them to get bombarded with phone calls...the 8 hour time difference could cause a problem as well, especially if people call at 4am...but i played in stockholm and i had a contract to play in cologne germany. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sweetangl from at 6:33pm CT r u real?? You are so perfect -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:33pm CT My mom thinks so...i'm glad i have another fan out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nikki from [205.188.209.101], at 6:34pm CT So what do you think about showing youre emotins for her on live tv? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:35pm CT The cameras are tough to get used to, but there does come a time when things become more real, when you become increasingly more comfortable with the environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sweetangl from at 6:36pm CT Can she have more dates out of the camera? if she likes someone more -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:37pm CT Yes...she was authorized to do so if needed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- red devil from [64.12.96.171], at 6:39pm CT what's up jamie!! i go to the high school that u were at last friday. i saw u signing autographs after the game. how were u feeling right then and there? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:40pm CT Go red devils!!! I had a blast. I always enjoy watching my old hoops team. It was pretty surreal however signing autographs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carolyn from [64.12.96.171], at 6:40pm CT Jamie, what is your opinion? Do you feel that Trista is pulling your way? It seems like she is intrigued by you a little. And who is your biggest threat? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:41pm CT Trista and i definitely made a connection on the first date...my biggest threat is probably bob at this point...he's hilarious. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cuteslilprep from [64.12.96.171], at 6:41pm CT your soo cute!! I hope TRista picks you!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:41pm CT thanks...call me -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jennifer from [66.99.13.253], at 6:42pm CT What did your Mom say when you told her that you wanted to go on the show? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:42pm CT I think it was par for the course for me...i've always done things that are somewhat out of the ordinary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cot03 from [205.188.209.101], at 6:43pm CT What made you decide to go on the show Bachelorette? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:46pm CT I'm always seeking new experiences. There is always a potential for love...even on tv! I also used it as a platform to challenge my panic disorder/social anxiety issues...it was a victory for me to simply go on the show and be myself under the intense scrutiny of the lights, the cameras, viewers and trista. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jasmine from [152.163.189.101], at 6:46pm CT Can you say a little something regarding your book on your panic disorder? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:48pm CT Panic disorder has defined me as a person..the struggle, despair and eventually the process of recovery...in a nutshell, this quote explains it..."If there is no struggle there is no progress." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- red devil from [64.12.96.171], at 6:48pm CT what is the name of your book? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:49pm CT I'm going through a few options right now...LOST TOGETHER is probably up on my list right now, but i'm not really good with titles...any suggestions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Danielle from [205.188.209.101], at 6:49pm CT would you rather have been the guy chosing from 25 women? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:50pm CT Probably not...I was actually a runner up for the last bachelor, but I'm not sure I would want to carry that show on my back -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amanda from at 6:50pm CT Oh my gosh I'm such a big fan of the show! Did you have a fun time trying this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:51pm CT Amanda, it was the best time of my life! It's always scary, however, to see how it all unfolds on TV. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sue from [64.12.96.171], at 6:51pm CT You said earlier that everyone is moving into the house, what do you get to bring with you? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Blyth at 6:52pm CT We really couldn't bring anything other than our clothes and toiletries. We couldn't watch tv, read, talk on the phone or leave the mansion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- justdance02 from [152.163.189.101], at 6:52pm CT Hi Jamie!
