More...

Roberto? Really?

I didn't even like him when Ali chose him, wait it was Ali right?

I would much rather see any of the final three that don't get chosen by Emily do it. Sean, Jef, Arie, yes please!

Bachelor Pad 3 Cast

“Bachelor Pad 3″ premieres on July 23 and I can NOT wait. I love that this show isn't as hokey and all about love, but the competition, the drama and maybe some hooking up.

Kallon will appear (the rich helicopter arriving "Baggage" bitchin bachelor that Emily sent packing.

Five unknown “super fans” selected by ABC will also be part of the cast, as well as one more cast-off from Maynard’s season, who will be revealed at a later date. (I am hoping Arie)

Bachelorette - 13 Bachelors Remain

Here we go, another episode of Bachelorette. I know who goes home and I know the final three because I read spoilers from Reality Steve. Last season of the Bachelor was the first time I spoiled myself pre-season, and I have to say it made the viewing experience quite different. I liked it because i could watch the relationship (and the editing) grow and change over the season.

Anyways here is a recap of the episode and my opinions:

More...

One-on-one date: Chris

Walking together in downtown Charolette. She thinks he is so cute and she is a bit nervous. I think Chris seems nice. Emily makes him "work for his dinner" and they have to scale the wall to the resturant. Emily freaks out because of the thunder, lightning and wind. As she screams abd hollers and a crowd watches them, Chris takes time to make sure she is ok.

At dinner, Emily confesses she wouldn't be able to talk to him if she saw him on the street because he is too cute. Chris is regretting not kissing her when they got to the top of the building, he high fived her instead. Emily starts with her crazy intense questions about his first relationship. Emily started to feel uncertain when she was reminded Chris is only 25. Chris begins defending his age and maturity saying he grew up quickly.

Emily is convinced and despite always dating older guys she feels he is mature enough to be let in and decides to follow her heart and she gives Chris the rose. They then head to see a country music concert in the street, Luke Bryan. I love the song "Girl you make my speakers go boom boom" (Drunk on You) then it slows down "Do I" which is a song that just makes me bawl - such a romantic date!

Back at the house Tony is talking to his son back in Beaverton Oregon and the mood is set that he may leave to return to his son... his not-so-internal debate begins.

Date Card comes for:

Charlie
Alejandro
Stevie
Ryan
Alessandro
Sean
John
Michael
Doug
Jef
Tony
Travis

"Let's Play"

They go to the park and the group date begins. Emily goes to grab her friends who will drill the men. They need to find out who will be the best husband and dad... yea, I would be scared if I were one of the men!!!

Here are some highlights from the session:

Things in Common?
Tony - taking kids to activities

Dated someone with a child?
Jef - yes my ex had two, an you see me with Emily?
Doug - I am a dad, I don't think a lot of non parents get it
Ryan - absolutely
head injury guy - absolutely

They can't quite figure out or like egg guy, telling him, "It's disgusting, did you fertilize it yourself?"

They also ask
Worst quality about yourself?
Have you ever cheated on a girl don't lie?
If you took her on a date tonight what would you do?

Then come the tricks, Stevie dances, so they then make others dance, get Ryan to do pushups, dance with them, and finally oogle all over Sean's sexy body!

Understandably!

He is faith based, built, compliments his parents on teaching him how to parent. The one friend Wendy goes on and on and on with Sean, asking him his super hero power, telling him how he would look good in spandex, making him take his shirt off and do pushups while she sits on him - hilare!

Emily tells the boys to put their money where their mouth is about being good with kids, she blows a whistle and kids start stampeding and scareming and running towards them! OMG!

The men seemed to do well, but it was a one time session, not truly telling of their "parenting skills"

Sean was sweet, Jef was playful, Ryan left to go get some time with Emily... but makes a fat comment about how "letting yourself go" after they were married was a problem "I will still love you I juat may not love on you as much, even if there was more of you to love" wait what?

Sean, Sean or Ryan, Sean or Doug were the girlfriends picks....

At dinner, Emily gets some one on one time with some of the men starting with the "top two" according to her friends: Sean and Doug!

She tells Sean how he made a great impression with her friends. Sean holds her hand and tells her that he enjoyed the kids and her friends. They talk about how Sean is "picky" or "selective" and how he hasn't dated in over a year. He likes confidence and is looking for a family. He talks well about his parents who still go on date nights and he comes across like a great catch. I am loving him! He is cute and sweet!

Doug talks about how her friends remind him of his buddies wives. Emily wants to get to know more about Doug besides just being a dad. Doug talks about his father who had epilepsy and his mom, who left him. His dad later died, he didn't go to the doctor because he didn't want to spend grocery money on doctors bills.... but then he and his sister were in foster care.

Tony starts missing his son again, especially after spending time with the kids today. Tony admits how he is feeling, Emily having been through it relates and reassures him. She hopes he continues.

She continues to enjoy her time with the men, Tony continues to weigh on his situation missing his son. Doug, also a father, discuss and Tony admits he is thinking of going home. Doug is really encouraging him to stay and put things in perspective. He calls his son - on speaker phone - and gets emotional again. Call me cold-hearted but I wonder if he has custody or how often he sees his son usually anyways? I wonder how much of this is dramatic purposes, not that I doubt his love for his son, but his kid sounded quite content with daddy being away and calling to chat... I don't know! "I miss you, Do you miss me too?" again, not that his kid doesn't miss him, but I feel like it is being very blown up for dramatic television. Regardless, he goes home, the end.

Back to the men, there is still a rose to give out and after Emily explains that Tony left (egg guy was nodding and being annoying) and gives out the rose to.... Sean! He is my new fave! Love him! I still like Chris, and Doug has grown on me too. I do like Arie, despite his baggae rumours... heh! I will get to that in a minute!

I still don't like egg man, Stevie, Allessandro, Alejandro and Ryan pissed me off a bit with his "don't get fat" comment!

Back at the house the men get the next date card. Kalon, Arie and .. are hoping for a one-on-one. Chris reads the card and Arie is the lucky man! He makes some zinger about being a racecar driver and used to going fast, but things have been going slow with Emily... ha! He is adorably cute, but after reading all his "baggage" online, (dated producer, on show for fame, cheated, slept with business partner's girlfriend, etc etc - go read Reality Steve for details) It makes me wonder if he is there for the right reasons.... meh, he is adorable, cute, and swoon-worthy! I enjoy him on my tv screen and will choose to forget his rumours for now ;)

Pigeon Forge TN. is their destination. Limo, private plane, Dollywood. Dolly Parton has an amusement park and they spend the day there. It is Emily's "Happiest Place on Earth" and Arie tries to win something cute for Ricky. They go on a rollercoaster, Emily's first time and she is freaking out and holding Arie's hand... ha ha She looks like she is going to be sick but Arie loves it. Finally tey go into the theatre to write a long song and perform but as they are doing so Dolly Parton appears and Emily almost loses her mind! Dolly performs for them! They dance, rather awkwardly, Emily keeps saing she could die and this is the best moment of her life. Dolly takes her for some girl talk and Emily is dying!

At dinner Arie talks about his ex and her kids and his past a bit then diverts the conversation back to her, she then brings it back to him and they talk a lot about Ricky and life. She likes her space and would welcome his busy schedule as long as she always knew he was thinking of her even while away. Now my mind is thinking about all the girls he may meet and screw around with on his tours.... damn you Reality Steve for messing with Arie's perfect image... or damn you Arie for not being as perfect as you appear on tv. (Helps when you dated one of the producers, the one that is Emily's right-hand-woman during taping) annnnyways...

Best part was when Emily tried to trick Arie into thinking he wasnt getting the rose and was being sent home - I almost peed, I wish she had taken it a bit further - chicken! She gives him the rose and apologizes for trying to trick him.

End of the night is on a carousel ride kissing... making out... I kept thinkibg Dolly Parton would ride in on one of those painted horses ha ha ha, no, just her music playing in the background!

Ricky helps her momma get ready for the cocktail party and rose ceremony. I have to say for a single mom who has been through so much, she lives in a freakin' mansion! For a single mom she sure lives the good life!!!

Kallon looks nervous, he didn't get a date. He also is wearing weird glasses and has greasy hair and has obviously become the villian of the season.

Emily expresses that she has developed a few crushes this week and that the relationships have grown. She compliments his glasses. Kallon starts with "Thanks to you I had a lot of time around the house tonight" she tries to talk to him and he says a lot that really comes across condesending and almost rude! He admits he thought his first child would be his own and embracing Ricky as his first child isn't how he planned it. She brings up Kallon's mom and what if her true love had said that about him. Kallon then says that he loves hearing her opinion but he wishes she would let him finish - wow! RUDE!! Emily picke dup and commented on it in diary room!

Travis - egg guy sits with Emily and Emily's friends told him to lose the egg, so "if you love something set it free" and they together toss/break/smash the egg. Unfortunately it wasn't as dramatic as the previews made it seem.... they laughed, said a few words and that was that.

The men toasted to "Shelly" which was apparently the eggs name.

Next, Emily sits with Allesandro, finally we get to hear him talk... he hasn't even been on the show, I don't know how or why he is still here even? They identify they don't know each other well and so, logically, Emily asks how he would be as a dad... he admits he has no experience with kids but insists it will come and she can teach him. He is willing to compromise that part of his life and change to be a dad. Clearly this isn't sitting well with Emily. "Compromise" is the word that seems to bug her, understandably. Essentially calling Ricky a compromise doesn't fly, it should be an honour and privilege. He continues to dig a hole deeper. Of course he will go home tonight! Though, as I said, I have no idea why he is still there?!!

Oh and after commercial break, no waiting for rose ceremony, Allesandro is sent packing! No surprise! The men also mention that Alessandro told Emily's friends he cheated on a girlfriend and had a one night stand - wowwee! Ya, peace out!

Side note - what the hell kind of shoes/boots is Emily wearing with that beautiful gold sparkly dress?

Arie and her have a conversation and he reassures her with his sweet nothings and hugs. Producer allowing him some one on one coaching? GAH! I am sorry, I can't get the "baggage" out of my mind!

The men see them making out and aren't impressed.

Emily and Sean get some one on one time and Sean admits he misses Emily. He wouldn't wait two days to talk to a girl after such a great date they had. He is so sweet! I love him!

I would love Arie if I didn't know his "baggage"

but those two are in the lead for me!

Sean talks about his dad teaching him and showing him hwo to be the best father and that he could easily step in and be a step father to Ricky. he says if they were married Ricky would be his daughter. Emily's heart melts on screen and they share a kiss also.

*ting ting* on the glass - Rose Ceremony Time!

Rose Ceremony
Already Left: Tony, Alessandro
Already Safe: Chris, Sean, Arie
One more will be sent home.

Roses go to:
-Jef - Quirky, I still am intrigued by him!
-Charlie - head injury guy, why can't i remember his name ever?
-Doug - another fave! So sweet, from Seattle, a dad!
-Michael - I forgot about him, we never see him on any episodes
-Travis - the egg cracking kept him... for now.
-Alejandro - he spoke briefly this episode
-Ryan - pretty to look at but he better smarten up that mouth!
-John / Wolf - I NEED TO KNOW WHY HE IS CALLED WOLF, then send him packing
-Kallon - survives, of course, there has to be more drama to come from this one!
-Nate - sucha cutie! but we know nothing about him!

DJ Stevie goes home. Funny, this was the first episode I thought he looked really good! I am surprised he lasted this long though, a single mom does NOT need a dj/emcee party dancers as a husband/father figure.

Ryan is upset over seeing Arie and Emily kissing. The usual "he is nothing like me how can she like us both" comments come out...

Next Week:

Bermuda, cliff diving, yahts, fireworks, more kissing Arie, Jef and Emily alone time, boat races, an injury, some male drama with Chris and Doug, Ryan confronts Em about Arie and her making out and he and Arie have some drama, dum dum dummmmmm

at this point my picks are:
-Sean
-Arie (despite baggage)
-Chris
-Doug
-Jef
-Ryan

The credits show the friends talking with Alessandro, ha ha a good idea sending him home!! He talks about a long relationship with his cousin who got married and he still thinks of her, admits he is a gyspy and can't even get a pet, and that he has cheated on a girl.... ha ha - wow!



So now we are down to 13 men.... some need to go last week, others will be interesting to watch duke it out for Emily's heart... I have my faves, how about you?

Reality TV Time Once Again

It has been a while since my last full post on Reazlity TV though I have done individual show posts plenty.... things are building up for the busy season again...

It's that time again, when there is way too much Reality Television on and my PVR is always full and I never run out of things to say..... excited? I thought so!

Bachelorette
See my recap of the latest episode here

Celebrity Apprentice
First of all, I wanted Audrey in the finale. Second of all, I thought Clay should have beat Arsenio. Ah well.

The Voice
I was not thrilled with the winner, but content. See my post here.

American Idol
I do not want Jessica to win. I wish she was eliminated the first time but the judges used their stupid save on her. I really though she would go home last week, but Josh was sent home. I have been rooting for the very sexy, very talented, very raw sounding, Phillip Phillips since day one and I hope he wins. I fear Jessica might. Either way, they are all talented, I just know thet regardless they will all have successful careers. In fact, I think those that do NOT win can pursue more rewarding careers than the show can provide. Who knows - I am rooting for PP and I will buy his cd and go to see him in concert.... I will not for Jessica.

SYTYCD
New season starts soon - SQUEE! It feels like it has been so long., THey cancelled SYTYCD Canada which is depressing, but at least the American version returns this week. THings will be different this season, for one there is only one two-hour episode a week, also there will be one male and one female winner at the end. THey will use the previous weeks votes and reveal them after the routines are performed so they aren't nervous during the routines.

Hell's Kitchen
Ramsey returns in a couple weeks with a new season of Hell's Kitchen.

ANTM
Of course it comes down to one American and One British model. I really love Sophie since forever and hope she takes it home!

Big Brother
It seems like just yesterday I had my wisdome teeth surgery and was high and bed-ridden and watching live feed for Big Brother *sigh* last summer... the good ol' days. I have heard strange buzz about this season... Thursday July 12 it returns, I will be at SDCC but will PVR it for sure!

Love in the Wild
This show was so bad, but I had to watch it, Jenny McCarthy is hosting, she is also apparently doing playboy again.... anyhow, it is on this summer and I will probably watch.

X Factor
Well there are some new judges, and I will watch.... but I am still bitter I didn't get in last year when I had tickets and waited in line all day... grrr...

What am I missing?

Bachelorette - ReCap

Bachelorette, as much as I don't want to committ, I always do.... EMily needs love... I want to watch her maybe find it.. Here is my summary from tonight

More...

The first date card arrives:

"Ryan, Be my King in the Queen City - Emily"

I do like Ryan, he is good looking and seems sweet.

Their first date is baking cookies at her house. Interesting. I do like the idea of having REAL LIFE dates, maybe Emily really will find REAL love?

Back at the house the men are discussing when someone will meet Ricky, her daughter. THey all agree it wouldn't be until near the end.

True to that, Emily drops off snacks and leaves Ryan in the car. She jokes the next part of their date is Chuck E Cheese. ha! Luckily they go on a real date.

There is a huge crowd outside their restaurant and they have a good dinner with some tough questions. Emily says in private that he reminds her of Brad, good looking, too perfect. In the end she gives him the rose. I think he has potential.


Group Date Card Arrives:
Alejandro
Nate
Allessandro
Tony
Michael
John "wolf"
Jef
Charlie
Kyle
Chris
Aaron
Stevie
Kallon

"let's set the stage for love"

What a huge group! Most of the men are not overly thrilled with the idea of performing, but it is for charity and the Muppets are there, so it is fun. Charlie is having anxiety of doing stand up comedy and confronts Emily about his speech problems and insecurities surrounding his disabilities. Emily was completely understanding and he offered to dance or do something different.

The show was hilarious. YouTube it if you missed it. The men dancing, Miss Piggy stealing the spotlight, comedy and more. The first group of men danced ROUND Emily. THe next group did some very bad comedy with Fozzy Bear. Miss Pigy did a "Chelsea Lately" style interview with some of the men. Charlie was one of them. He was nervous! Aaron had to make up a poem, Jef had to propose on the spot to Miss Piggy, and poor Charlie was sweating bullets and Miss Piggy asked what he would do to impress a girl. He handled it well and was very honest and sweet. PHEW!

Emily and Kermie the frog flirted and then Miss Piggy interupted ha ha! Ricky came up on stage with her momma and helped wrap up the show.

In the end it was all about Charity and they raised a lot of money for a good cause. $20k - impressive!

After they go to dinner.

Emily tells Chris he is extremely good looking but not a "look at me" kind of guy.
Emily tells Jef that she had a hard time finding him today and has a hard time reading him and getting his attention.
Emily dances with one of the men, Stevie maybe, though his hat was off.
Charlie spies them and goes back to tell the men who all go to watch and make fun of the dancing pair. Kallon finds it immature to spy and criticizes the men. He then goes to interupt the dancing pair and chat with Emily. Almost immediately Aaron comes in and Kallon asks for 2minutes, Aaron refuses and Emily feels uncomfy so Kalon takes the high road and says "enjoy your conversation he is a good guy"
Kalon returns and reports what happened, then Stevie says he wanted 5 more minutes and Kalon interupted (aka "karma is a bitch") and they argue.

Emily returns and gives the rose to Jef, much to Chris' shock.




Back at the house a date card arrives:

"Joe, come close to my heart, Emily"

The hair bugs me with Joe... and there are other awesome guys who I would have prefered see spend one on one time with Emily.

Joe and Emily take a small plane (and without any monologue on how hard it is to fly after losing her ex) to West Virginia, her home town. They stay at Green Briar resort where Emily went as a child. THey have a nice date, but I findhim boring and awkward. He answered her questions with questions, I just didn't feel it, I thought Emily was feeling it, she was in tears, but it was because she wasn't letting him stay. Good choice.

Back at the house Kalon tells whats his name (dad) that he put being a dad on hold for this show, which could be interpreted as Emily putting being a mom on hold when she was the show with Brad. Needless to say, it doesn't go over well with most of the men and causes more tension between Kalon and the house.

Cocktail Party

Emily addresses the group and then the one-on-one brief convo's begin... Arie and Emily talk a lot about his hometown and what they like to do in their spare time.

Next up Ryan is alone with Emily, the men are upset because he has a rose and doesn't need time with her tonight. Tony comes in to interupt and witnesses Ryan giving her a gift...a letter... a novel.. she reads it outloud as Tony stands there... waiting... awkward!

Tony gets his time, talks about his 5 year old son and they seem to really connect as single parents.

Rose Ceremony
-Ryan & Jef have roses already

-Kalon - drama to come I am sure
-Arie - still intriguing
-Michael - still don't dig the long hair but in a pony it was kinda sexy
-Nate - still cute
-Sean - not too much from him this episode
-Chris - it wasn't the date rose, but he happily took it
-Doug - the dad I mentioned earlier but couldn't recall his name
-Travis - wasn't on this show much either, is it editing or what?
-Tony - as worries as he was, the convo they had helped
-John "wolf" - Still don't know why he is "wolf" I want to know then send him packing
-Alessandro - he wasn't seen much this episode either
-Charlie - he is adorable
-Alejandro - don't hear much from him
-Stevie - really? I don't see it!

I was glad to see Kyle (also from Long Beach) go, he didn't stand out to me one bit, but I was shocked Aaron went home, he is a bit older, his goofy glasses are a bit hipster, but he is a teacher and damn sexy. I'd date Aaron, he is from Long Island and a biology teacher, hot!

Next week: Arie one on one date? Dolly Parton surprises Emily, CHris gets a one on one and they have to rock climb the side of a building. Sean seems to get some more screen time, Alessandro speaks, someone thinks about leaving and "parenting" is discussed... in other words, as always it will be "the most exciting episode ever" ha ha

At this point I am rooting for: Jef, Ryan, Chris, Arie, Sean, hmmm....



Who are you favourites?

Bachelorette Season Premiere

Premiere of Bachelorette - Emily - was tonight.... I already posted the bio's of all the men here, but below I give more impressions/thoughts on the men based on tonight's episode. There are spoilers so click to read more if you have seen or don't care about being spoiled. Please comment below with your thoughts :)

More...

We had some background info on a few men, then their arrivals and finally their interactions at the cocktail party... Here we go:

Background Clips:

Helicopter Kalon "young fun good looking guy with a few dollars in my pocket" he seems egotistical an admited past "womanizer" Saying you are more "down to earth" now doesn't make it real. But the money is attractive.

Ryan is cute, he works with kids, I think he seems sweet, the petting a dog by the waterfall sold me.

Tony is from Beaverton which is where my girl @steeners41 is from. He is a daddy to a 5 year old, which made me love him even more.

Lerone has a yuppie dog in LA and does Real Estate. Although he seems fit and kind, he seems a tad bland.

David in the singer/songwriter from NYC. I don't see him as being Emily's type - not that I know her personally, but she is NOT big city and based on the singing we heard - he isn't going to be a successful singer/songwriter - just saying!

Charlie is from Nashville, I dfeel like southerners will have an advantage with Emily. He has experienced tragedy via an accident that left him with major injuries and I feel like he has some depth that may be good for Emily if given the chance to get to know him

Jef from Utah doesn't look like a Utah boy! Strange hair, a CEO for bottled water with charity connections, he is tough to read, more than meets the eye. I want to know more about him.

Arie, the racecar driver. He is pretty. He is a racer, much like Emily's ex who died in a plane crash to a race. You know he will stick around, if only for the ongoing "racecare connection and memories" / drama of the show. Still, his eyes are worth keeping him around a while ;)

Arrivals:

Beautiful Blonde Sean is first out and has a stunning smile.

David is 2nd out He asks if she chose Charolette. Meh, still not a fan of his singer/song writing

Doug is from Seattle - I always have a soft spot for Pacific North West. He has an 11 year old - another gold star in my book.

Jackson has a pink tie, he gets on one knee and rants some sweet quote, a tad over board in my books.

Joe looks like someone from a past season, he is a little too energetic dancing around and shouting.

Arie comes out looking stunning and it may be editing or actual chemistry but I felt it with those two....

Kyle was nice but a bit awkward in my book, maybe he truly was in "awe" over her beauty and lost for words?

Chris also reminds me of a past contestant. Maybe they all kind of look the same after so many seasons. He seemed sincere and sweet though, lot's of "blessed" and "prayers"

Aaron had giant goofy glasses on. He used a cheesey pick up line, I really had a good feeling based on his bio but didn't feel his initial greeting.

Alessandro is fronm Brazil, he was a bit strange, fast talking, maybe nervous.

Jef rides up on his skateboard, he really is cute. genuine. I kind of like him.

Lerone, same feeling, a bit bland, though sweet.

Stevie walks up dancing with a ghetotblaster (do they still call them that?) I think he may do better on Jersey Shore... just saying.

Charlie... something about him I like.

Tony while I love that he is from Oregon, the glass slipper was a bit weird. I get they have to do something to stand out but cheesey is annoying.

Grandma outfit was funny, Randy gets points for being creative, but I still don't like him.

Nate is just so darn cute, Emily says he smells good, I like him.

Brent wears a name tag, doesn't try too hard, cool.

John "WOLF" I want to know why they call him wolf....

Egg holding Travis a lil' odd

Long haired Michael I don't like long hair usually, he has a cute face, he seems sweet - we shall see.

Jean-Paul, from Seattle (so he gets some points) but his eyebrows creep me out a bit.

Alejandro is a muchroom farmer, what else can we say. I liked Emily's attempt at Spanish.

Then came Ryan, who I liked in the clip at the start. He is cute, sweet, I liked his little sign.

Kalon rolls up in his helicopter. "golly" she says when he arrives. impressive indeed. He is cute, and though I would never say "marry for money" he is good looking and I'd give him a shot ha ha, his self-awareness of how douchey he has been is a good move in the right direction, but I am not so foolish to believe men change that quickly - the other men already hate him - will make good drama but probably not last.

Interactions:

When she entered and they all clapped and hooted at her I felt so awkward for her... I can't imagine! ha!

I love her accent and mannerisms, she is so sweet! I think this will be a great season....

Charlie tells Emily about his Titanium face joking around with her.

Brent jokes about having a ton of kids. or was it a joke?

Emily gets pulled around from side to side by 25 different men, she seems to love it.

Chris is obviously smitten by her, he has bobble heads of himself and her. a little creepy. Emily seems to like him, calls him 'super hot' and they play bobblehead-barbies ha!

Egg man Travis is the butt of the men's jokes, as is helicopter man.

Jef hopes Emily isn't into material things. Lucky for him, she deffo is not. During their talking time they seem to hit it off. Emily likes his 'cool vibe' and says he makes her feel like a 'nerd' - always a good sign! "he's super cool, and I hope he thinks I am cool too" awnnn

Doug makes the single parent connection. I think that is sweet, I think there is a fine line between connecting on that level and obsessing. Not saying he is, but getting his son to write a letter is a bit ... awkward .. I don't know, as a mom it just seems a bit much non?

Men argue - Stevie is mad at helicopter man. Arie decides to admit his career to her (for dramatic purposes?)

Emily gives Doug the first impression rose. The kid letter must've sold her... *shrugs* I think it was not really appropriate, but whatever.

Rose Ceremony:

Safe:
-Doug from 1st impression rose
-Chris - not shocked, something about him works
-Ryan - In my bio post he was "RON" oops, I thought he looked jacke dup, but on the show, so far, I really like his build, hot!
-Kalon - helicopter man gets to stay for now ha ha the men are NOT happy!
-Arie - no brainer, his career keeps him interesting, his eyes make him appealing, interested to learn more
-Charlie - I like him!
-Jef - intriguing, quirky, I want to get to know him more too!
-Nate - cute, reminds me of an old flame... momma likey
-Sean - another cutie patutie, good work Emily, keep the eye candy coming!
-Joe - the hair ugh!
-Kyle - meh
-Aaron - meh he is cute
-Alejandro -
-John - who? oh wolf
-Alessandro - really?
-Michael - fine, I don't like the hair, but he is sweet and cute otherwise
-Stevie - this is a shocker, I don't like him for her at all!
-Tony - awkward
-Travis - he was relieved, still holding his egg

So good-bye:

-Lerone
-Granny Randy
-pink tie Jackson
-Jean-Paul and his eyebrows
-6 kids Brent, I guess he really DOES have 6 kids! woah!
-David the musician

This Season:

They travel, big surprise. Ricky comes along, not shocked, she kisses cute boys, of course, Jef, blondie, ryan, joe, jef, arie, playing with Ricky in all the cities, lucky girl travelling with momma. Then comes the drama... looks like Kalon is the one under attack, though it could be Ryan.... not sure... but Emily swears ans cries, then all the men cry, and Ricky/kids become the focus... Dolly Parton, dancing, kidding, a carnival, more travel. Are we expecting any surprises? Of course!!!

What do you think?

I have read Reality Steve Spoilers so I know the final 3 men... *IF* I didn't I would say my picks based on "photo/age/job" only would be:

Arie - He is a race car driver, like Emily's ex and "true love" plus he is so pretty!
Nate, Sean, Chris, Aaron, Travis are all good looking. I like that Aaron is a teacher, though older than the other guys. Travis is hot! So is Sean! Yummy! Chris has a look I like, though not conventionally hot like Travis and Sean. Nate is more pretty boy - gah - they are all delicious to look at HA!

Jef (one f) has weird hair, but is otherwise cute.

Stevie, a party MC? Emily has a daughter and I don't think she would be into that... just saying.
Ron looks to jacked up

I don't like the long hair Michael, Joe, Alessadra or even Randy. I also don't like the no hair of Lerone.

I can't wait to see their personalities, at which time I will re-rank/comment..... though it is based on the editing of each person - but whatever!

I can't wait to watch this season!

Bachelor Recap Jan 23

I watched tonight's episode - here is a summary / recap as well as my opinions on the ladies and their antics..... More... They are in Utah...

It actually rains, snows and is sunny all in one episode.

One-on-one date - Rachel

They leave via helicopter for an outdoorsy date. The conversation was awkward and in frequent, she admits she has a hard time opening up and communicating, but she also mentioned how it was kind of late for a first date... which to me indicates she has no time for holding back... I like Rachel, she is pretty and fun, but a little weak with her social skills.

She gets a rose

Group Date

Blakely, Courtney, Kacie B, Samantha, Lyndzi, Nicki, Kacey S, and one more.

Horse back riding, fly fishing, evening date.

Courtney, as always pulls Ben away...she catches a fish. In the evening, the girls try to get their one-on-one time by interupting each other and being catty. Ben sent Samantha home, telling the girls he promised to be honest in this process.

Inside note: Samantha allegedly had feelings for a producer and asked to be let go from the show, so her whole "going home" things was not entirely the whole story.

Kacie B and Ben send some quality time together, I am really loving their connection, and they make Courtney upset and insecure so I love it!

After some make-out time with Kacie B, Courtney and Ben go off to sit by the fire. Courtney claims she is having a difficult time dealing with everything and Ben decides to give her the rose, even tho9ugh he had planned to give it to someone else - geezus he is an idiot! But she is clearly pure evil genius.

Monica, Elyse, Rachel, Emily, are back at hotel bad mouthing Courtney (though not lying at all, just being honest about how horrible she is)

One-on-one - Jennifer

The go down into a cave and swim, thunder and rain come in the evening, but overall they seem to have a good date. She is quite reserved and again, I think at this stage in the game the ladies need to put themselves out there. They attend a Clay Walker concert in the middleof nowhere.

She got the rose.

Meanwhile back at home, Emily is with some gals in the bathroom highlighting her hair and drinking and bad mouthing Courtney somemore. I can't even call it catty anymore, I can only call it honesty. Courtney is pure evil!

Cocktail Party

Rachel, Courtney & Jennifer discuss how great it is to be safe.

Emily is confused on what Ben wants, based on how different the three girls with roses are.

Ben arrives and thanks the ladies for being open to the process.... same old song and dance. He thinkshis wife is in the room.

Emily starts to freak out about Courtney misleading Ben and decides to tell Ben what's up.

Emily calls Courtney a statue...Beautfiul but cold and hard. I don't think Courtney is pretty to be honest. She is kind of troll like. Plus how she acts makes her uglier.

When she talks to Ben, he gives her an "out" by saying, "I don't know who it is and I don't expect you to throw anyone under the bus..." but then she says who it is by saying she got the rose on the group date. Ben then says she will drive herself nuts if she focuses on this person instead of their (his and her) relationship... she then panics she insulted him and worries she is being sent home.

Casey S backs up Courtney when Emily admits she tried to talk to Ben about Courtney. Casey S insists she is a sweet girl but Emily is confused why Casey S is the only one who doesn't see it. They agree to disagree, but Casey S runs to Courtney OF COURSE. After spilling and exagerating the conversation to Courtney, Courtney loses her mind.

She then engages in confrontation and "mean girl" antics at Emily. Rose Ceremony

-Lindzi - liking her more and more

-Jaime - not much of her this episode

-Nicki - liking her more lately also

-Kacie B - loving her best for Ben

-Elyse - She's ok

-Blakely - not much of her this time around, but she seems less evil now that Courtney has won that craycray award

-Casey S - boooooo

-Emily - stays, thank goodness, after her conversation with Ben about Courtney I was worried. Leaving:

-Samantha was already sent home -Monica goes - I love her but not for Ben, more for having in the house with all the women. Her first night she was hitting on Blakeley, she got involved in the cat fights and was always speaking her mind. She didn't have much screen time this episode, I knew she wouldn't last, but I adore her!

As they "Cheers" Courtney says, "I can go higher" with her glass - seriously? That "model" is so insecure she covers up with this super fake obsessive confidence... she drives me nuts!

Next Week

- going to Puerto Rico

-11 women left

-Looks like Elyse gets one-on-one on a boat

-more Courtney/Emily drama on a group date

-Kacie B, Lindzi, Niki also appear to be on group date

-Skinny dipping for Ben and Courtney

Also during credits we see Blakeley "stomping" she is pretty good

And that was tonight's episode... thoughts?

Bachelor Ben Breaks some more hearts... and gets a little heart breaking himself...

Another Bachelor Night, two one on ones and a group date... as always there was drama with a "mystery" guest from Ben's past arriving and a fainting girl at the rose ceremony... never a dull moment on Bachelor read on for more on the episode and my opinions :) More... The first one-on-one was with Emily, who I adore. She is cute and their date was pretty unusual. Climbing up the Bay Bridge... and she is scared of heights.

they made it up the bridge and had a romantic dinner date where she indeed got a rose to stay and kissed as fireworks went off in the background

What was most funny about this date, was that the girls at the hotel could see themon the bridge through a telescope and then saw the fireworks later in the night.

Group Date

It was hilarious to see the lil' snow bunnies skiing down the streets of San Fran in bikini's

The evening...always the most drama with "stealing away" Ben.

I do like the connection between Kasey B and Ben, but from what I hear Ben likes party-girls which is NOT what he neesd long term - let's wait and see.

Blakely complained to Ben how she wasn't accepted by the other girls, Ben told her to focus on their relationship and not the other girls.

Rachel got the rose on the group date.

The second one-on-one date went to Brittney, but after some deliberation she decided she couldn't deal with this process and interupted Ben's group date to say good-bye and not waste a one-on-one date in his hometown with her. Shocking, I wonder what her grandma will say.

Lyndzi got the 2nd one-on-one date after Brittney left. I actually had expected her to get it originally. As a Seattle girl, I hope she will stick around for a while... I still can't believe she rode in on a HORSE!

Their date was really great, she got the rose, and I am starting to like her more and more.

Cocktail Party #3

The "mystery" women is on the way. From spoilers I knew it was Shawntel from Brad's season. They had texted a lot and she felt there was a connection and decided to pop in.

It was a bit awkward with Jennifer and Ben, but it was cute he told her (and his sister) that she was the best kisser in the house. LOL what was odd was her feeling like she was in love already

Courtney is such a bitch. She was so snarky and insulting everyone else. She tried to start stuff with Lyndzi saying Lyndzi looks other girls up and down juding them.

Then she left with Ben putting on her sweet face again, it makes me sick! She says Ben and her have a strong connection so she doesn't feel threatened by the other girls, yet she talks down to them and acts so catty, it is clear she is insecure!

Nicky did a cool game like the newlywed game.

Shawntel joined the cocktail party and the girls went nuts!! It was hilarious!

She interupts Elyse and Ben's time together and admitted her feelings for him and hoped he would give her a rose to stay and get to know each other, or send her home and end it now.

The girls went catty on her, poor Shawntel, I really do adore her!

Erika's reaction made me no longer indifferent to her but not like her at all. "thicker thighs" really?

Elyse's whole "what do you know about him" is stupid because Elyse just met him too.

Courtney's objections are no surprise, she's a bitch "he could have shut her down real quick" then she claims she would not accept a rose from ben - oh we can only wish Courtney goes home, no I wish she went home week one!

I was also upset that Rachel was so catty. I didn't like her, then I started to, and now I don't again.

Jaclyn's cattiness didn't surprise me either, I don't like her anyways.

Emily was honest, she thought they had chemistry, I agree, Shawntel and him would be so adorable together, but ultimately it is Ben's decision, though knowing who he chooses in the end, I have to say Ben is clearly an idiot.

Rose Ceremony

Rachel, Lyndzi, Emily have roses from the dates.

11 roses left, 2 will be sent home.

Courntey - booo and her stupid speech to him was b.s.

Kasey B - ok

Elyse - booo she's kind of a bitch too

Jamie - I like her, though she wasn't in the episode much tonight

Jennifer - they are so awkward together, beside the "good kissing"

Kasey S - fine

Blakeley - whatever

Monica - I like her, not to win, but for entertainment

Nicky - I used to like but she was so emotional tonight

Samantha - barely in this episode, but i do like her

Final rose...

Jaclyn, Erika, Shawntel left... Erika feels nauseated, Jaclyn is bitchy, Shawntel looks nervous, Erika passes out... drama!

Kasey B blames the "three-ring-circus" on Shawntel. Other girls describe the scene as chaotic and all Shawntel's fault - um really?

Anyways, back to Erika, Jaclyn, Shawntel... I'd pick Shawntel to stay... Erika and Jaclyn shouldn't be there... to be honest, nor should half the girls with roses but Ben's an idiot.

Sadly, or excitedly, he doesn't hand out the final rose... ha ha

Jaclyn, Shawntel, Erika all leave... Erika half faints - again... imagine that... *eyeroll*

I actually (knowing who he picks) think that once he sees the entire season he may change his mind... hopefully... maybe pick Shawntel anyway?

or maybe he will stick with his choice and they will end like every other Bachelor couple in history....... NOT MARRIED! ha ha

ok, Bachelorette's have a better track record, but besides Trista & Ryan, who has lasted? I mean Jason & Molly but he had chose Melissa originally.

Anyways... next week looks like Ben sends someone home during group date and no surprise more Courtney drama....

bachelor - 2nd episode

More Bachelor tonight. 18 women go to Sonoma to see Ben.
 Some airport shots and they arrive in baby blue convertible's sipping wine.

Jennifer has a nice look with deep red hair and pretty eyes.
Emily is still pretty awesome.
Still don't like Courtney.
More opinions as we go.........


Kacie B getting the first one-on-one is not surprising he seems to like her a lot, but there is something about her I don't love. She just seemed kind of plain to me in the premiere. They had a sweet first date, but I feel like it was more the date and Sonoma and the memories of childhood than them... I don't know, how can those things NOT seem tender and special?

Group Date = 11 girls preparing a play written by children. Ha Ha Ha!

The kids made them act ridiculous during auditions then assigned them roles. Blakeley's outfit was pretty risque for kids, but how was she to know ahead of time that children would be there and judging her? LOL

THEN they performed in front of an AUDIENCE! with Ben's friends and the public!
 
Jenna was a wizard with a beard.
Jaclyn was a princess and got to kiss Ben at the end, but there were plenty of kisses, mostly pg given it was a family show...
Jennifer was a weasle who got to kiss Ben (as a lamb) along with Samantha the pig and Nicki the donkey
the "hooker-gingerbread man" was Blakeley ha ha ok just a gingerbread man
Emily was a hippy and Rachel a valley girl, they were supposed to kiss his cheek but he left stage too soon - later they pulled him aside to get their cheek kisses
Monica was a dragon and was hilarious and "blew Ben's clothes off"

It was cute and fun. After they had the rest of their date and of course that is where things got interesting... booze and sexy dresses.

I thought Blakeley's "its my rose" was funny, but the girls took it so hard and like she was being catty, I found it funny... Jaclyn called her a cougar ha ha she is 34!!! I don't think either will last, so let's have a brawl between the two ha ha apparently Samantha had issues with Blakely too as she was in the restroom pissed off ha ha - dramaz

In the pool the girls were all playful and fun, a bit of making out with Jennifer, Blakeley, then Blakeley got the rose... Jennifer should have!

By the couch the blondes were all gossiping and hating on Blakeley, I do think Ben prefers brunettes... when she showed up they all walked away ha ha

Courtney's rant to Lyndzi about the 1st impression rose was hilarious, she is just as I predicted, model-snotty girl... I wasn't happy she got the one-on-one date but hoped it would lead to her going home... except I was pretty sure she was shown in upcoming previews so I bet she will around for a while - sadly!

Her response - smug "how'd that taste coming out of your mouth" ha ha ha whatta bitch!!!

Ben brings his dog for his one on one date with Courtney "the model" I don't find her that attractive, though her personality has a lot to do with that. I hate how her eyes bug out when she talks and that she always has her mouth open all the time.

They had a good date, Ben likes her, but I think she's a bitch.

The cocktail party was good, Ben gave time to the girls he didn't have dates with first, which was sweet! Lindzi the first impression rose and horse riding girl was told she made a good impression which is why he didn't need the date. They had a great conversation and I started to hate her a lot less.

Samantha and Ben chatted since she was kind of drama on their last encounter during the group date. Blakeley came and interupted them, which is STUPID since she has a rose and is staying already! I have always hated this about rose holders at cocktail parties... she then proceeded to take him away AGAIN... wtf?

Blakeley talked about how it felt getting the rose on the group date. It got a bit catty. SURPRISE!

Jenna rambles like an emotional idiot - SURPRISE!

Ben starts to sense tension and emotions and seeks out crying Blakeley to chat... she is hiding behind the luggage... *eye roll* then there is Jenna crying in bed... Ben visits her too... the clock said 2am.. these parties really do go all night!

Rose Ceremony starts...

My thoughts:
Jaclyn - I don't think she is pretty or very nice.
Blakeley - I do like her, I mean she is aggressive but she is hot and entertaining on the show like Michelle Money was
Brittney - sweet girl but a bit quiet
Courtney - hate her
Samantha - pretty, I do like her despite her pageant gear last week
Jennifer - I do like alot
Monica - saw less of her this episode
Elyse, Erika - not memorable yet
Emily - I still really like
Lyndzi - I hate less
Nicki - when will she reveal she is a divorcee?
Jenna - still a crazy nbitch
Rachel - I like her more this episode than the first
Jamie - I still really like

results:

Kassie B, Blakeley, Courtney already have roses.... Ben also chooses:

-Jennifer
-Emily
-Elyse
-Jaclyn
-Erika
-Rachel
-Lyndzi
-Nicki
-Casey S
-Samantha
-Monica
-Jamie
-Brittney

 Sent home:
-Jenna whos said she was mortified.. LOL she has every reason to be mortified, she behaved like a psycho!
-two-toned hair girl (not jenna the other two toned hair girl)

Next week is San Fran Ben's home town. Lyndzi appears to have a one-on-one date.

Brittney does something crazy.

Some girl shows up - she calls and says "hi Chris I am on my way to San Fransisco" is it a past contestent? an ex girlfriend?

Then one girl faints

Bachelor Premiere

Yes I am late to the party but I finally watched the Premiere of Ben as the Bachelor... Here are my thoughts on the women, the happenings and so on...

More... Lindzi - Seattle (Bellevue) Wa. 27

Horse rider, she spells her name with a 'z', she is 27 and was dumped via lame text "Welcome to Dumpsville, population YOU" by her ex

Amber T Nebraska 29

Gun toting, outdoorsy tomboy. She is hot and I think my husband would die for her LOL The cow balls thing made me gag, I felt like her red neck schtick was over done.

Kacie Tn. 24

Seems sweet, her grandparents love story was cute

Courtney Santa Monica CA 28

A Model, soft spoken but we will see. Model girls always lead to drama "they are intimidated by me" Her whole ring talk was over the top and inidicitive of her materialistic tendencies. Jamie NY 25

Nurse in maternity ward, seems sweet, I like her smile. She has no daddy and raised her siblings because her mom had a tough time. I can relate to parts of what she was saying being the oldest of 4 kids.

Lyndsie J Scottsdale AZ 29

From London, has lived all over the world and the fact that she chooses to now live in Scottsdale makes me LOL

Jenna NYC 27

"over analyst" blogger who claims she is a relationship writer. Her intro shows the craycray inside and previews tend to show what will come from her... scary! She seems obsessed reminds me of someone we have met before ;)Bet she will stay after producers ask Ben to keep her for drama and ratings

Shawn Phoenix AZ 28

Career focused, a mom to an adorable lil boy Gavin

Nicki TX 26

Talked about her marriage to her teenaged sweetie and how it is being divorced.

Out of the limo's Rachel NY 27

Red Dress, first out, pretty girl kinda boring

Erika IL 23

Law student, fairly risque dress and very lame "guilty of being sexy" pick up line

Amber B - Port Coquitlam BC

(um, where I live!!! like down the street) 23

Little lame "bacon" joke but she is from here and therefore I am forced to support her, the last local was Jillian and she was a great Bachelorette...

She was funny "darn it next time I need to bring a SASH (pageant girl), HAT (KY girl) Gramma (Colorado girl) LOL

Elyse IL 24

not too memorable introduction but pretty

Jenna came out and made a fool of herself but again the editing is likely part of the awkwardness because we already know she is insane... not that they fake awkwardness, but they def can cut out akward with girls and they totally let it stand with her ha ha ha

Next limo pulls up and we see model Courtney who is confident and admits her crush on Ben and touches his hair before admiting she is a model LOL

Emily NC 27

seems friendly but is doing her PHD and gave him hand sanitizer and sprayed his mouth then gave him the 1st kiss of the night ha ha I kind of like her though...

Samantha LA CA 26

Came out in her pageant gear, lame

Casey KS 26

Intereseting dress, seemed a little quiet but confident

Amber T came out in a yellow odd dress and walked in a circle back to him and joked if he didn't believe in love at first sight, here is your second chance LOL

Holly KY 34

Huge hat that did not go with her sexy dress, she was a little ditzy

Jamie the nurse came out and she was a bit nervous but sweet and cute. I like her

Shira LA CA no age given... which was weird

She is an actress and claims to know everything about wine... "ask me anything" then she admits she knows nothing... but he can teach her... lame

Blakeley NC 34

Southern, cute, but not much of an impression left except being hot... she has some interesting moments later with Monica though ;)

Older lady with crutches gets out ha ha Sheryl CO 72

She introduces her Grandaughter Brittney 26

Cute memorable way to meet, emphasis on the closeness to family... awnnn...

ten more to go.....

Nicki from TX wears yellow and comes across a bit annoying in my opinion

Dianna CA 30

Comes out awkward and nervous, poses and then forgets what she is supposed to say, Ben is kind with her, he has been there afterall LOL

Jennifer OK 28

An Accountant gives him some numbers... 1190 miles to travel, 0 arrested, 54 dresses tried on, 1 time in love and hopefully Ben will make 2.... cute!

Lyndsie from Scottsdale AZ (well from all over) reads a goofy poem to Ben, which was cute except pointing out her "bum chin dimple" uh.... LOL she is a bit annoying

Anna MI 25

Kinda strange, quiet, wtf? She walked right past him... uh.... Ben shouts "bold move.... that's a first" ha ha I hope he sends her home lmao

Monica UT 33

Pretty purple dress. Misses her dog... seems cool

Jaclyn MA 27

Short and sweet intros

Shawn from AZ comes out in a odd shade of green dress and asks if she will get time inside or if she has to ride around on a unicycle now to get his attention ha ha cute, true, but then she gives him the "buddy slap" on the shoulder...

Kacie B from TN comes out and calls him Benjamin, she is again cute but not totally memorable to me... she promises not to sugar coat, trying to flash back to Ben's comment to Ashley last season

One more.....

She arrives on horse back ...it's Lindzi of course... I feel like I should like her because she is from Seattle, but she is actually from Bellvue and for that I kinda don't like her... ha ha

They seem to hit it off, we will see... the girls are all jealous

It is interesting that they were all told who the Bachelor was first, in their introductions they all talked about him, it was creepy, but I guess less creepy than talking about a stranger... not that he is NOT a stranger, but most saw him last season when bitch Ashley broke his heart... don't get me wrong, I loved JP til the end when he came on really stalkerish... but that is so last season....

Anyways....

Ben enters and the craziness begins...

Moments worth mentioning:

-Nicki from TX seemed to hit it off with Ben

-Lindzi is a bit overwhelming from horse to in your face conversations and seems to turn the conversation to her her her all the time time time

-I don't care what the catty girls say, I loved Brittney's Gramma & Brittney seems sweet, I like her.

-Ben in a hat, a sash, playing soccer with girl in heels, girl explaining her tattoo, Ben doing pushups, dancing, it was just non-stop craziness.

-blindfolding and tasting candy

-rapping from Emily

-Lesbian lovers Blakeley and Monica

-Sobbing crazy Jenna

I read on Chris Harrison's twitter once that these cocktail parties sometimes go all night... of course we just get clips ha ha

I wish we were given their blood alcohol level ha ha ha

I am glad the booze runs freely at these parties though....

Favourites: (so far, it is too early I think to really KNOW)

-Emily is sweet and rapped a mean gangsta rap

-Monica for making fun of drunk crazy Jenna & for hitting on Blakeley

-Jamie

-Brittney

Gotta Go:

-Model Courtney

-Jenna crazy chick, "Ben are you calm because no one can dismiss you?" ha ha shuddup drunk drama queen! "everything goes black..." um it's because you are drunk and acting nuts!

-Rachel for getting involved with Jenna's craziness

I disagree with his "First Impression Rose" to Lyndsi from Seattle, but I am ok keepingher around, west coast represent... ha ha

Rose Ceremony:

Jenna is acting craycray and crying and missing and everyone is waiting for her....

Finally she shows up and Chris starts the ceremony...

Lyndzi is safe (first impression rose)

17 more roses to give out, 7 are going home tonight.

-Jamie (good choice)

-Rachel (liked her til she got involved in the drama with Jenna)

-Blakeley (she is hot but we know very little about her so far, except Monica loves her ha ha)

-Emily (yay! I like her a lot) -Brittney (another good pick) -Erika (no opinion yet) -Shawn (the mom) -Nicki (the divorcee) -Jennifer -Elyse -Samantha (pageant girl not a fan) -Courtney (boo! I am not a fan!)

-Jaclyn -Monica (yay! I want to see if her and Blakeley run away together ha ha)>

-Jenna (of course, they need the stupid drama)

Not surprised that some went home, (scottsdale girl (Lyndsie J), walk past at intro girl (Anna), but wish local gal (Amber B)stayed as well as red neck girl (Amber T) but ah well! Dianna and Shira also gone, I still don'tknow why Shira's age was not shown. Previews for this season seem to show: Travelling the world as usual, lot's of kissing and of course, drama, drama, jealousy.....

Who is in the red dress and comes back to see Ben?? Is it Ashley? no... who is it?? I am going to google this and find out... I don't like Courtney based on the previews and tonight's episode, I did like seeing naked Ben running into the ocean ha ha

Lot's of tears and sobbing, hugging, bad mouthing, Looks like Erika has a passout and it seems Ben finds love in the end... though the preview attempts to make it look like the girl in the black feathered dress turns him down, who knows - let's see.

Thoughts? Favourites?

Bachelor Pad 2

I can't believe Kasey & Vienna are still kicking it. I really don't get how or why people keep saving them? Well, I do know why, they have percieved power... but it is not real! Clearly! Erica and Blake let them have the safety roses so that they could get everyone to vote for them to stay, but Michelle and Graham wouldn't do it and so Blake & Erica left, leaving Kirk and Ella to keep playing, which I am happy about.

If Vienna or Kasey win I will boycott!

At this point, all the crew are filming their finale and I tweeted with a few of them about it. I am excited to see Jackie (who is not with Ames anymore and was feeling nervous about the taping, porr thing, I told her to be honest and be herself because that is what we love about her right?) and Gia, who you remember left in tears unable to hack it, she is just too sweet for the show I guess.

Anyhow, a few weeks left and we get a winner. I would love to see Ella/Kirk get it. I do not want Kasey and Vienna to, I don't like Holly, though I do like Michael (and hear they are back together?!?!) I didn't like Michelle and I don't remember Graham, but I like them now... I don't know I am rooting for Ella at this point - yes, her "story" is moving.... Sue me for having emotions!

Bachelor Pad 2 Episode 2

This episode was tough to watch. I am not a fan of Erica, yet I had tears in my eyes for her. I am not a fan of Vienna, but I really began to feel sorry for her today. I realized some men appreciate true love over money and can take a leap of faith, while others will do anything to get ahead, even if it is hurtful or hateful.

That, was tonight's episode....

More...

The challenge involved paint filled eggs. My first question? Who the heck filled them up!? I have done Easter Egg decorations with my daughter and we do hard-boiled because draining those things of yolk, through little holes... yea - no way!

Anyways the men were targets first and the women were asked demoralizing questions such as:

Who is the least attractive?
Who does not deserve the money?
Who do you want to send home?

They would huck their paint filled egg at the person, Jake got the most for the men and I felt bad for the guy. I mean, I really liked him originally, then after the live break-up when he snapped at Vienna I felt like maybe he had a dark side, and now, I think she is bat shit crazy and it is NOT just the producers editing making her look nuts.

Then they switched and then men tossed eggs at the women. They almost all chose Erica as the least attractive and the one they would send home next, it was absolutely devestating to watch. Yes, she is "thicker" than the other women, but she is still thinner than the average American. She also has giant injected lips and acts like a total princess... I am not a fan of her, but tonight, seeing her pegged with paint filled eggs repeatedly, I felt so bad. I was in tears! How hurtful! I am sure she is a wonderful person, despite the character she portrays on tv, and either way no one deserves to feel that little about themselves because of pompous reality tv men!

In the end it was Melissa and Michael won.

Michael took Michelle, Erica and Holly on the date to an old asylum where they walked through the creepy place with night cams and squeals of fear at possible ghosts. Michael felt bad for pelting Erica in the back, as he should, and they had a sweet moment of trying to have a seance ha ha. In the end, after some Michelle Money's trademark meddling, Michael gave Holly the rose and they had some sweet talk on the roof about their relationship and how they are still in love but confused and had bad timing.

I have heard they are not only together now still but expecting?

Melissa chose Kasey, Blake and ... they went on a yaht and Melissa's plan was to give the rose to Kasey, but she fell victim to the sexy-on-mute Blake's charms. They had an awkward make-out session and she gave him the rose. Melissa tweeted later than Kasey and her agreed to do that since who ever got the rose stayed for romantic time after, but the show made it seem like Kasey was upset. Who knows!

Later Blake and Holly get close, which is awkward since her ex fiance is in the house and Melissa has decided her and Blake are an item. She comes across clingy and crazy again while Blake says some incredibly mean things and compares himself to a prostitute but regretting aligning with "the crazy one" Dramaz

In the end ABC decides Jake can't go home yet so they change the rules to say two women are leaving and that the women will vote also. More drama and Gia leaves on her own, then it's between Jackie and Ella - randomly.

Sadly Jackie goes home, leaving the romantic Ames in shock. He says his good-bye's then as he walks back to the crowd he simply says "bye" and runs to the limo where he enters and joins Jackie.... awnnnn....

This just lit my heart with happy flames. I so love Ames. I mean, I didn't get it at first on Ashley's season, but then, I saw it unfortunately the night he was sent home. Now on Bachelor Pad, to see him and Jackie fall in such a short time, I felt like it was something special also. For him to leave like that?! And Jackie seems incredible, but I have heard they are already broken up - - - total Buzz Kill!

*le sigh*

Maybe Ames will be the next Bachelor? I absolutely adore him now!

Anyways, looks like this season continues to be, as William tweets, the Jake and Vienna Show... and he is an extra!

I am tired of it but I get that it brings in the ratings.




Next week I hope for more drama and less douchery from stupid people... is that too much to ask? Yes, I know - far too much to ask, this is reality tv after all - famewhores unite!

Bachelorette's Rejected Ben F moves on to past Bachelor Contestent?

I was horrified to see Ashley ALLOW Ben to get down on one knee and propose even though she had decided on JP. Made me dislike her EVEN more - though I never was a fan of her's really... but I am glad to hear he may have quickly moved on from her - thank god!

Remember Britt Billmaier from Brad Womack's season? (Ashley must ha ha!) I had to look her up also, she was the pretty blonde food writer, originally from Wa.

Anyhow, seems Ben F and her have been casually dating...Reports say that:

in the few months since leaving Fiji, the sexy winemaker has been casually dating blond bombshell Britt Billmaier, a contestant from Brad Womack's second season of The Bachelor. "They both live in the same town, so that's how they met," a Bachelor insider tells Life & Style. "They're having fun together. He's definitely not wallowing over the break-up with Ashley."

Adds the insider, "Britt has denied that they're dating, but maybe it's because he's still in the running to be the next star of the Bachelor."

Reality TV Updates - Feb 2011

Lot's starting soon, and some ending soon... here are my updates and thoughts on Everything Reality TV... My last post had details on my overall thoughts for all the shows.

The Bachelor

I still see Brad as Mr. Zero Personality... and can see him with Emily if she opens up. My fave is Chantal and I want her to NOT be chosen so she can be the next Bachelorette - she is hot, fun, emotional, quirky and would make a great Bachelorette season! Thoughts?

I was SO SO SO SO SO Glad Michelle FINALLY went home! She is insane and I have no idea how or why he kept her for so long!

As I said last time Michelle is crazy, Shawntal is pretty rad, Emily is sweet but Chantal is my fave.


Jersey Shore

Finally, no more Sammi & Ronnie... I HATE them together.. it was awesome seeing Sammi out with Deena and Ronnie and Pauly walk by and Sammi is all "he's with a girl" (not even close) so she goes all ho-bag... Those two are dangerously volatile and I hope they stay apart.

American Idol

I skipped a bumnch of auditions (they are still on PVR but I simply don't have time to watch them all) but I did watch Hollywood episode one and was sad to see a few faves go home already, but relieved to see a few annoying singers go home. Honestly - before the live shows I don't care much if I miss a few shows.

Survivor - Redemption Island


THIS WEEK!!!! Rob vs Russell - - - - Go Russell!

America's Next Top Model


I am indifferent, I will watch it but I imagine it will be same old same old.

Amazing Race

I haven't watched in a few seasons, partly due to time/day and partly due to lack of interest... but all of the "past favourites" return this season and so I am excited to check it out.

DWTS & SYTYCD

THey need to plan it so we are never with out a dance show... and the new one with Paula Abdul doesn't count!

Other Gossip:

Will Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul work together again? THey have talked about it, but who knows if/when it will happen.

Jersey Shore's Ronnie not on 4th season? Because of assault charges (during filming of first season) he may not be able to get a VISA to go to Italy for filming of the 4th season. His pre-trial is scheduled for March 7th but "Any person applying for a Visa to Italy must have their case fully adjudicated." Honestly, I'd rather have him there than Sammi.... but as long as they aren't BOTH there I will be happy.

Reality TV Updates - Jan 2011

It has been a while since I did some reality tv updates. It seems pretty slow right now anyways...

The Bachelor

Brad has zero personality. He agrees with the ladies or repeats what they say in the form of a question and it drives me nuts. I don't get why he is back. I mean YES he brought a therapist to remind everyone he was "damaged" and is now "working on being fixed" and that is not my issue - my issue is that he is boring, albeit pretty to look at, he has very little going on upstairs it seems.

I really like Emily and at first wanted to see her as the next Bachelorette. But then I realized she is kind of dull... sweet, but boring. So I would like to see boring Brad and boring Emily live happily ever after.

Next Bachelorette - - - Chantal O - - - I really like her and she has so much more to her than Emily and would be more fun to see as a Bachelorette. Non?

Shawntel is also interesting. As his choice or as a Bachelorette. Thought to be honest, I wouldn't be upset if she left. And why is Ashley H still there? gah she annoys me...

I would like to see Crazy Michelle admitted into a crazy home... she is scary nuts... like TMZ should be following her because that's a tabloid waiting to explode right there!

Jersey Shore

Well, same old same old, drinking, clubbing, GTL, fights, drunks, blah blah, a train wreck but I can't stop myself from watching. I hate Sammi... I am so glad Ronnie and her are done (again) she is just - blah!

I think it is HILARIOUS that they are planning to go to Italy for the next season. Even funnier is that Italy is pissed they are coming ha ha

American Idol

New Season, New hosts. I am loving the chemistry and the change up with Steven Tyler, J Lo and Randy. I am NOT loving the emotional rollercoaster they take me on every episode. The sad stories make me bawl... I am liking that (at least it seems that) they are showing less crappy singers and focussing more on good singers and their sad stories ha! I am behind a couple episodes but during auditions I tend to wait and then watch a few at a time.

Apparently AI is apologizing for Steven Tyler's behaviour Not sure if it is a joke or if he has done something outrageous in the past couple episodes. I know he is a big flirt, busts out in song and is charasmatic... for me that is enough to keep him around ;)

Survivor - Redemption Island

Russell Hantz & Boston Rob Mariano return AGAIN to Survivor. Redemption Island will have those voted off by their tribe go to isolation until the next castaway is voted there. Then the 2 will fight in some challenge sending one home and one left... untilt he next castawa is voted off and so on. At some point who ever is on redemption island having beat other castaways in challenges, gets to return to the main island... oooh! Nice Twist. Furthermore, you will have arch nemisis' Rob vs. Russell. CAN NOT WAIT!

I am a massive Russell Fan.... I loved Rob too but I am rooting for Russell all the way! Feb 16th baby!

America's Next Top Model

New season starts it's 16th season Feb. 23. I predict a ghetto black teen who perpetuates the bad image of black women (though every season I wonder how and why Tyra Banks allows it), the tom boy skinny girl who thinks she is ugly and goes far in the competition, the rich girl who gets by on her looks, and of course at least three girls who bicker and fight non-stop... let's not forget the ones that bawl when they have to cut their hair *sigh*

Here is the cast list. Lot's of unemployed girls and/or students, or waitresses... awesome. Yet I am sure I will watch.. especially now that I got a PVR expander... ha!

DWTS

Rumour is that Derek Hough will skip next season since he will be filming Cobu 3-D. That is great for him, and honestly, probably good for the other dancers and contestents since he tends to dominate the wins ;)

SYTYCD Auditions

Next season's auditions have started and continue this month. Also Mary Murphy will be back to judge. I always love this show... can't wait to meet the dancers.

Other Gossip:

Bachelor(ette) contestents Peyton and Chris are dating. I like Peyton and I LOVE Chris (was so happy Ali rejected him, I am not an Ali fan and thought he'd be better off without her). I had hoped he would be the Bachelor, but he turned it down and it's a good thing. He has been dating Peyton since last Fall (she was on Bachelor Pad and Baldwin's season) I think they are adorable and hope to hear they make it!! Chris is amazing!!!

[Reality TV News Via Reality World]

Bachelor Pad - Couples

More...

Pretty silly that a balloon toss had some of the girls so emotional. Tonight's episode sent three women home after the men chose women to partner up with and so we said good bye to three ladies and moved into a couple's game versus men vs women.

Peyton and Jesse B
Elizabeth and Kovaks
Tenley and Kiptyn
David and Natalie

Strategy and love and drama.. gotta love it

I really hoped Peyton and Jesse B woudl stay but darnit Kiptyn is too loyal... ah well I like Kiptyn he is the nicest of the guys but Tenley annoys me and Elizabeth is nuts so I guess Natalie is who I like out of girls...

WHo knows what will happen next.

Reality TV Update - August 30, 2010

I have missed a few updates, but I will try to catch up.

Bachelor Pad

I missed tonight's episode *gasp* But I did see Wes and Krissily go home. That is all I know. Krissily's last words were to break up Kovaks, Elizabeth, Kiptyn and Tenley - well duh! I want to know what I missed so feel free to comment with updates or details.

I did a full post on last week's episode.

SYTYCD Canada

I am loving some of this season's contestents and I do blog after every episode with Power Rankings and then Results. I also blog throughout the week at Pure SYTYCD.

Last Week Shelaina went home due to injury and Hanni for some stupid reason. This week two more will go home tomorrow night.

Here are my power rankings from tonight's show.

Master Chef

I am loving this show. I liked this week's trucker challenge and was shocked when red pulled in the win after such a rough start, I mean seriously? Blue Cheese? Whitney and Jake are my two top favourites.

Big Brother

Well I have spoilers so I will shuddup but this week is going to be VERY INTERESTING! I will leave it at that but if you want spoilers read HERE and HERE

Everyone I was rooting for is gone so now I don't care... I like Lane but he has money, Britney has girl power but she has annoyed me since day one, I love gay men but Ragan seems close to going home, I hate Enzo, so that leaves Hayden... or Lane.. or Brittney.. I dunno - I will wait til last two and then decide.

Dating in the Dark

This show is so bad it's good. I love that I can pick it up or drop it any time because each week si new people. It's a nice background show to accompany my blogging. They always have at least one total loser.

Jersey Shore

OMG The Situation is friggin too much - his "master plan" to put the hippo to bed and have two girls on one side of the house and two on the other - - AND IT WORKED!?!?!? Too much! I can't wait to see this week's the preview shows Sammie and JWOW having it out - I assume it comes out that she wrote the letter to Sammi about Ronnie's creepin' ha ha ha this show is so bad I can't help myself... though I do wanna shoot myself when I hear shit like The Situation will make $5mil this year - WTF? Yet, here I am supporting it by watching and talking about it BAD MANDY!

Real World New Orleans

I haven't watched this yet but my PVR needs me too fast...

Am I missing anything?

Oh, here are two reality tv stories that caught my eye today...

Snooki's boyfriend of one month proposes via tabloid magazine.

American Idol still without panel of judges.
