Watch smoochin'
Bob pick his dame

On ABC, a night of decision for 'The Bachelor'

 

   Kelly Jo or Estella? Tonight "Bachelor" Bob makes his decision, and as usual on the ABC show, the decision will be drawn out over two hours.
   Bob may be the most randy bachelor of them all -- he kissed more than 20 women during their one-month lock-up -- but he's also one of the more traditional and looking for a serious relationship.
   Some have suggested, based on the fact that Bob said early on that he wanted a woman close to his age (32) that the 28-year-old Estella has the edge, even though she's a bit, uh, possessive.
   Others give Estella the edge only because they think Kelly Jo is a natural for "The Bachelorette II." Well, at least she'd get something out of this.
