By now...it's no secret...Roberto is the lucky guy that one Ali's heart. I don't have much to comment. I'm obviously really sad for Chris. What a good guy. He took the break up better than most did when they were let go the first night. Even during the After the Final Rose special--he still held his gorgeous head high and realized that she loved some one more. There was nothing he felt stupid about and nothing that he needed to be embarrassed about. He better be the next Bachelor. In fact, that's why I think he handled everything so well, he's probably already in filming for his season.
A few general comments:
1. Roberto's suit...I can't even comment. I'll just use my best friends Facebook post...because it was said beautifully..."Why did they make Roberto climb 12 flights of stairs in a jacket that didn't fit?!?!? He wanted to unbutton that thing the whole way up!" AMEN Rachel...AMEN! The only thing that was too big in that whole ensemble was that collar that covered half his face! Sheesh!
2. I'm so glad she let Chris go with some dignity the day before. I'm sure she wants us to think it was her idea...but the come on Ali...we weren't born yesterday. She had to let him go that day cause the rainbow was there that day! LOL---All kidding aside...her break up speech with Cape Cod Chris---started out HORRIBLY! Get it together missy and say it better than you did okay!
I think that about covers it.
And so...we end another season. I somehow think they'll make it!
On to the next show...Bachelor Pad baby!!!
Signing off...

Tahiti and the Fantasy Suites
Okay---we're finally winding down to the big finale. It's funny to think of how far we've come and the losers we've had to endure to get here.---However, do you all agree that a 2 hour episode was a little much yesterday? Considering--the Frank drama was soooo drawn out---we could have cut it down by 1/2 hour. But anyway...I can assure you I will get down to business and try and hit the highlights and not drag out this sucker longer than it needs to be.
Okay first off, we get to hear what Frank's drama is all about pretty early on...(after all the recapping of the final 3 from the first night to now). And by now, we all know that Frank apparently has discovered through this journey that although he really really has a connection with Ali and is falling for her---he might still have feelings for his ex...Nicole. After he walked the freaking 50 miles through the streets of Chicago, he gets to her hotel room? Uh...I think a cab would have probably gotten you there in record time. Anyway...she's so surprised that she doesn't even question..."uh...excuse me???? who are these camera men? Where is my talent and release form for signature???"--I know...I know...you're right...they probably edited that out. Once she happily lets him in. He begins by telling her how great Ali is...how much he likes her...how connected he feels to her---hmmm...was anyone else thinking--is this your master plan to get Nicole back? And of course Nicole, sits there and listens and no doubt is waiting for him to say...BUT I love you...instead, he said, "I had to come back here and see if all this confusion I was feeling was because I still had feelings for you"--I might have missed it...but I think she said she still wants him back and that life is awful without him and then they hug, cry, kiss, and snuggle...and he tells the camera crew he knows what he needs to do...not Nicole...well...not right away at least. He then reveals to Nicole that he must travel to Tahiti and let Ali know what he's decided. Really...you couldn't get the producers to send her a message? You just had to go to all the way to paradise with a humongo suitcase to break it off??? Way to get a free trip out of it. I was convinced Nicole was in the suitcase.
Now....let me go on record to say that if it were me...and my ex came over and was talking of getting back with me...the first thing I'd ask him is, "Did you sleep with this chick?" I guess that doesn't matter to her---or wait...another editing decision I bet. I wouldn't have taken that fool back---but that's just me.
Okay...now on to paradise.
Her first date was with Roberto... not much to say other than they flew (another fear of flying B.S. reminder on Ali's part) to what they kept calling a heart shaped reef or island...looked more like a kidney bean to me...or as my dear friend Katie put it...a boomerang. Anyway...it was gorgeous, they seemed to be enjoying themselves A LOT. Then dinner time came around and Roberto put on his serious face only to tell her that he thinks he falling in love with her. She pulls out the slut card---(the fantasy suite invitation card) and I love how every guy looked surprised to see it. Of course they decide to use it. Thankfully there were no fireworks or volcano eruption visuals.
Next day...she goes on her date with Cape Cod Chris. As you all know I love the dude...but enough about your mom and family...okay?--I mean, I know that makes him endearing to us all but it's kinda of mood killer, too. So they also get to see the beautiful scenery from a "top of the line" catamaran. They seem to be having a wonderful time, a lot of snuggling and laughing. Then they half arrive at their destination and they have to swim to their private little island. I could not stop busting up at the fact that---I'm pretty sure Chris expected they would jump in ...freestyle swim to the island and then have time for snuggle snuggle...but instead Ali had other ideas...she wants to start snuggling right away and I don't know about you...but his egg-beater treading water kick...looked a little difficult with her hanging all over him. Sheesh...give the guy a second to catch his breath. Then they finally reach the part of the ocean they can stand in and I noticed he had some very handy aqua socks to protect his footsies---while she's hanging all over him. More kissing...laughing...pearl finding (I bet he makes her some jewelry with those pearls for the finale) and then dinner time. Man oh man...he really put it all out there. He told her he sees his whole future with her, he will live anywhere with her, and that he loves her! This guy is so gonna get a broken heart. Once again...the slut card comes out and he acts surprised and then of course they jump on that!
The next day...we have to endure a face to face with Chris Harrison and Frank about what he's decided and how he's going to tell Ali...How about..."Peace out chick...thanks for the awesome trip around the world, but my girlfriend is packed in my suitcase and I'd like to see Tahiti with her!"
We finally have the break up, she's way to devastated...I mean really...you just slept with 2 other dudes...how can you be so upset. I think a thank you would have been in order. Thank you for not making me have to pick someone tonight. The one thing that scares me is the foreshadowing that took place. She kept going on and on about how this really shook her to the core and now she's second guessing if any of these guys are there for her. STUPID woman!
Well folks...I will skip over all the tears and major cry fests between them both and just say...that I think she's got 2 good guys left and if she decides to leave everything to find love and then chooses to stay alone...well then....Good freaking riddance!
Next week, we get a break from Ali and her drama and get to watch the men tell all. That should be good. All the psychos are back in full force. Just think...we have Whoa Hair, Forehead, Kasey the Deaf who will guard and protect her heart, Weatherman---oh man...that is gonna be good.
Well until next week,
Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

So Ali meets the families...
Last night...on the Bachelorette, we saw Ali visit 4 hometowns---these are the highlights and my thoughts.
First, she visits Roberto's hometown. Although, I will agree that he looked quite yummy in his baseball uniform, HANDS DOWN the hottest uniform a man can wear is military fatigues. HANDS DOWN! And lucky me...I get to see that once a month. Anyway...moving on.
The date looked like a lot of fun and Ali seemed to enjoy herself (that chick laughs at everything...sheesh). The family seemed nice. Very Romanian-esc to have a Roberto Sr. and the mother named Olga and the daughter named Olga. PEOPLE...there are other names out there for your kids! My favorite part was when Roberto's mother said, "If you love Ali then propose her!" HYSTERICAL. I love my little immigrants! I also noticed, the men in Roberto's family (with the exception of Sr.---like the white girls) I'm sure Ali was pleased to see that! That pretty much sums up that date. I knew she'd have a good time and that she'd comment at least 7 times how hot he is. Funny, she didn't mention that to his family. When they asked her, what was it about Roberto?--Her true answer should have been, "He's hot!" Instead, she gave this B.S. about he was funny and nice and there was just a feeling. (A feeling of LUST...but whatever.)
Second date...my baby Cape Cod Chris.
I would like to go on record that when she breaks his heart---I will cry. He is the sweetest most adorable guy I've ever seen on the show. I'm not quite sure how he manages to be so sweet, so caring, and so manly all at once. His family---what little treasures they were. His father---still so in love with his late wife. His brothers and sisters-in-law wanting Chris to finally find love. All of it just melted my heart. I also love how he told her--"There is nothing to worry about because I would never have brought you here if I wasn't sure I liked you, and I like you. You make me smile and you make me happy." Then he also got me with the fact that he said, "I'm sad and a little jealous that my mom will never be able to see me happy like she did my brothers!" Cue the tears! Oh Ali...don't be stupid! Pick him...love him...marry him!---And since we know you probably won't pick the good guy---ABC...please make him the next Bachelor and give him the sweetest woman EVER! I could go on and on about this date...but it will just turn into a cry fest.
3rd date with Kirk and his families...EEEKs...scary stuff. I feel bad for the guy who has to split his life between both parents and I feel bad he was sent home, but that little trip down to the basement sealed the deal and we all know it. As many of you know...I'm not an animal person, but that basement and those freezers had me screaming and wanting to run for the hills. Did you all notice that when Ali was forced to talk to Kirk's dad in that dungeon, that she was practically curled up in the fetal position? Was it really necessary to have their one on one talk down there!? What was even more annoying is---In the real world, Kirk would have warned Ali that his father is a huge taxidermist--right? How do you not tell the gal that you want to introduce to your dad, that he's kinda weird and will most likely show you his hobby workshop. Another case of Bachelorette B.S. At any rate...Ali just didn't seem at ease with his family (even though at every home town she talked about how she can see herself there! LIES!)
4th and final date with "Hi...we can share clothes" Frank---What the heck was he wearing? I'll tell you what he was wearing, a woman's military jacket, a woman's white v-neck t-shirt, and his grandmother's cardigan (also v-neck)---for that look alone--I would have picked Kirk to stay one more week. I'm not a fan of Frank. I think he's a little deranged and has psycho tendencies and I'm waiting anxiously to see what goes down in Tahiti with that brunette he visits! Based on that preview--I think we can safely assume Cape Cod Chris and Roberto are the final two.
As I mentioned many times before...when she breaks Cape Cod Chris's heart---not if...but when---I will suggest that she be killed and her body be given to Kirk's dad! If Chris isn't the one...please let him go now and don't string him along.
Well folks...that about covers it...
Until next week...don't forget to stop and smell the roses

Who cares what happened with Ali...let's talk Vienna & Jake
Hey guys...
By my post title you can see that I'm more interested in covering the FIREWORKS from the last 30 minutes of The Bachelorette---but because this is the Ali season, I'll give you guys a quick...and I do mean quick recap of the episode and then we'll get to what we're all excited about this morning. Jakie poo and Vienna Sausage having it out on TV.
Ali--
The season in my opinion has reached a BORING point. All the drama is gone, all the weirdos have been released back into the real world (what a scary thought) and now we are to wait and see which of the "normal" dudes will make it to the end. SHE BETTER PICK SOMEONE. I've heard some rumors that she doesn't and let me go on record as saying... for a girl that left everything to find love...you better stinking find it missy!
Okay... so she's in Portugal with 5 dudes...Roberto, Ty, Frank, Kirk, and Cape Cod Chris.
She was very distracted and worried this week about her choices on whose families she should meet. None of the dates really impressed me. How many freaking castles can you go to? The part where Cape Cod had to drive that scooter was just embarrassing for him---but better safe than sorry. His gift to her was given at a very appropriate time. He flat out said, I didn't want to give this to you until I was sure I had feelings for you...well played... my friend...well played. He still seems a little awkward around her, goofy almost, but I think he's the nicest guy for her. It's definitely between him and Roberto- (well, if it were up to me)
So...to make a blog entry short and sweet...Ty gets the big COWBOY boot. It wasn't a good fit. Sorry buddy. I think she made the right choice.
Next week, we hopefully get to see the drama unfold with Frank and that woman he visits---but maybe that's a not for another 2 weeks. The one thing I'm thrilled about is that the taxidermy guy isn't Cape Cod's dad. Whew!
Okay...now on to what we all want to talk about...THE BREAK UP HEARD AROUND THE WORLD.
First off, I have to admit, other than catching some clips of break up news on People.com, I have not actually read any of the magazine articles about the break up. I didn't realize that Vienna really did seek out magazines that could tell her side of the story. Probably not the best move on her part (but what do we expect from the girl that EVERYONE hated in the house)--But even with that low blow from her---for the record I wasn't as disgusted by her as Jake was---I think Jake is a total psycho! What a master manipulator. He's the type of guy that can keep his cool and make anyone look irrational. HOW INFURIATING! Seriously...any guy that clearly has a temper that can keep his cool like that is one I'd avoid like the PLAGUE. Can we say, "He could go postal at any minute?" (cue creepy Twilight Zone music now) Of course, Vienna was constantly interrupting and being very immature, but I blame Jake. He was the one that got to pick his girl, right? So then, if you wanted a woman that would never question you or challenge you---THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PICKED TENELY!!!!! She would have sat there and let you run the show and been thrilled that you "appreshiet" her! (I hated that way Tenely used to say appreciate!)
2 things stood out to me yesterday---that I feel are worth mentioning.
1. I loved when the two of them brought up her dog (who was so sick it needed IV's---I WON'T even go there!) and Chris Harrison said..."Okay guys...nobody cares about that!"---PURE COMEDY! and
2. When Vienna said, "Oh you're a pilot---you haven't flown a plan in over a year!---exactly what my beef is with the man! That fool needs to re up his flying license!
So the 2 sweethearts that were madly in love threw back insult after insult and pointed fingers the rest of the interview and then we had the major, "STOP INTERRUPTING ME!"--and bam...major tears and a very dramatic storming out by Vienna!
My thoughts--
I don't think she cheated.
She was stupid to tell the tabloids her side of the story---and her reasoning behind it was weak (the whole--Jake would have done it first, bit)
I think he's a nut job.
I think he is indeed a "fame whore"---why are you not in Texas being a pilot?
I kinda think he might be gay.
and finally---I blame him. He was the bachelor with 25 women vying for his affection. He had all the proof he needed in the house what type of person Vienna was---and he chose the absolute EXACT opposite of what he claimed he wanted (a woman that would support him and stand behind him and HIS decisions and basically let him run the show). The entire US of A saw that
Vienna was opinionated and strong and was not going to just sit pretty while Jake calls all the shots---But somehow Jake missed that. I guess it must have been the nightie she showed up in or the mud make out fest they had that distracted his thinking.
So friends...that was indeed the best part of the night for me. And contrary to what I've heard others say, it didn't look fake. It looked real. I think it was was real. Not like that bull we got when Jason and Melissa broke up on TV. That was pretty lame.
One final thought...how excited am I for the Bachelor Pad??? You have no idea! A blogger's DREAM!
Until next week...don't forget to stop and smell the roses

So friends...that was indeed the best part of the night for me. And contrary to what I've heard others say, it didn't look fake. It looked real. I think it was was real. Not like that bull we got when Jason and Melissa broke up on TV. That was pretty lame.
One final thought...how excited am I for the Bachelor Pad??? You have no idea! A blogger's DREAM!
Until next week...don't forget to stop and smell the roses

And then there were 5
Finally...Forehead went home. Did he really think he stood a chance? That fool couldn't even fit his bulbous head in a ball cap and he thinks he's in the running? He had to expect something was off when of all the guys left, he was the only one without a one on one date...BUT---somehow rolling around covered in olive oil with a bunch of dudes did not secure your place in Ali's heart. ooops...once again...I'm jumping ahead of myself.
Let's first go back to the first 10 minutes of the show where we not only find out that they are in Turkey, but that Rated R---is exactly what the men suspected all along. A BIG FAT PHONY! What I find extremely irritating is how Ali was told that he had a girlfriend...That freakazoid from last season---Jessie..the very unmemorable one is once again at the root of exposing a person's past. For those that don't remember her---she was that little mouse that also ratted out Rosalyn's affair at the Girls Tell All ceremony. My question to you all is...where does that little rat hang out, huh? In the dark alleys of people's scandalous pasts? Sheesh??? Why do you know so much about all these people's secrets? Are you an undercover reporter? Paparazzi?---At this rate that girl will be working for The Insider in no time.
Well...Ali was of course pissed at the fact that this fool has been lying to her all along. I don't actually think Ali wanted Rated R---but the fact that he was playing her...would get anyone mad! I loved how she called him out in front of all the guys and how he just got up and walked out...WHAT A LOSER!!!! Then after he had enough running through flower planters and fountains---he decides to hobble over and talk to Ali about what has been happening...only to confirm to all of us that he is a LIAR!!!! Thank you ABC for airing the messages he left for his girl back home. And girl back home...I'm pretty sure you're relationship with him is OVER--especially after this.
Once that drama ended we got to see Ty go on his first one on one date with Ali to a steam room that only men are allowed to enter---yet somehow Ali got special privileges to enter. She totally desecrated that place forever more! The two give each other massages and kiss and then she corners him into answering all the questions she had about his past marriage and so forth. She loves his openness and honesty and bam...a rose is given. I think he's a good guy, but I just don't see him being the one for her. I also don't see the chemistry she has with Roberto when I see the 2 of them.
The next day...Kirk, Cape Cod Chris, Roberto, and Forehead have to literally fight for some one on one time with Ali. They are expected to Olive Oil wrestle professionals and then each other. How humiliating. After a huge struggle...Forehead wins the coveted prize of a boat ride with Ali. But as we all know...that does not secure his spot to advance to the next round (I know it sounds like a game show...but technically that's what it is folks).
The final part of last night's episode included another one on one date with Frank...the stalker. He is getting a little too creepy for me. BUT...she apparently likes him. I sorta tuned the whole date out...especially the dress up and the rug buying...but alas...Frankster gets another rose and he's sitting pretty the night of the cocktail party. We also find out that Ali does not need a cocktail party because she knows who she has not connected with. No surprise really...the forehead must have gotten in the way of all the connecting she hoped she'd have with him.
And that pretty much sums it up. As I sat there and watched what was coming up in the next few episodes...I noticed a very very absent Cape Cod Chris from the previews...I think he gets the boot next week and it's probably for being the only guy to wear sneakers at the rose ceremony. Geez Louise Mr. Hotness...make a little effort please. But seriously...I fear his lack of appearance proves he's out. Stupid stupid girl!
Looks like the final three will be Roberto, Kirk, and Frank (who we all see has some drama saved for her, too)
Well...until next week...don't forget...stop and smell the roses

And the world breathes a collective SIGH of relief because...
Kasey finally got the boot. But not before he told Ali about his true intentions of wanting to GUARD and PROTECT HER HEART--about 8 more times. WEIRDO!!!
Anyway...I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go back to the beginning.
First off, the group is now in Iceland...(sure why not?---No Bachelor or Bachelorette has taken the show there...I'm so waiting for the season they decide to go to Romania.---It's coming...just you watch.)
The first task is a "competition" for one on one date with Ali. Although...as always these competitions are sooooooo rigged. The guys were all expected to write Ali a love poem and then recite it to her. And guess who gets to pick the winner??? ALI of course...some competition! That's bogus. Ali basically decided that instead of sending a special card to one guy of her choice to the guys hotel---she asked her choice in person. Right? RIGHT! The poems were okay---nothing too spectacular. I must admit I was BUSTING up in a number of areas...
1. The wrestler pleading with the Icelandies for some help...HYSTERICAL. Of course they aren't going to help you---uh hello...you could possibly beat them over the head with your crutches!!!
2. That fool who has said 2 words since he's been on the show (AKA --2 words Chris) SUCKED ROYALLY for his poem! Hey buddy...no one said you had to memorize it! You literally never speak and when you're forced to...that's what we get? Aye yay yay! No wonder he sticks to 2 words!
3. Kasey---that's all I have to say...but of course I'll say more. My man...Cape Cod Chris thought his lips froze because he couldn't understand a word he said..FINALLY someone else says it! Although, we all know...it had nothing to do with the cold. The subtitles had me in tears! Had we been able to understand from the beginning...I'm sure it included his coined phrase.
Okay...so the winner is Kirk...of course it was. It had to be him. That's the one guy that she hasn't dated one on one but who she made out with during that "video shoot". They buy some cheesy sweaters, then spend some time together only for us to find out that....(cue scary music)---He has been plagued with Asbestos and Mold contamination. Once again...that's a new twist to the Bachelor/Bachelorette story. Since his illness, he's had a passion for life and is very upbeat. I'm not sure how I feel about Kirk. There is really nothing bad about the guy---I can't imagine who she is going to end up with. She LIKES THEM ALL!!!!
Next date...was the group date. Again...a really boring date. They rode some horses, visited a cave, Ty stood out as the farm hand who helped everyone get around. Ali got to show off her kick ass body once again--(okay so I'm a little bitter...but hey...remember my state. I'm sooooo pregnant that I'm allowed to be a hater for like a minute okay?) Anyway, she has some kissy kissy time with Cape Cod, she spends some time with Ty, she reprimands Frank for not stepping up---and then she gives Ty the rose. That pretty much sums it up, right?
Next up the 2 on 1 date---Justin the Wrestler and Kasey the Deaf...oh yes! Who didn't see that coming? Kasey was wayyyy to intimidated by Justin. Justin was wayyyy to cocky and well---we knew the date was bound for disaster. EASY WRESTLER...this isn't a match okay? My favorite part about that whole segment was how the Wrestler FINALLY decides to get a cast he can walk on! Uh---yeah...good idea...probably something you should have considered before you started the show. I loved the dramatic "throwing away" of the crutches in the public trash can on the street. I'm sure the doctor's office could have disposed of them for you. THEN the kicker is Ali pretending to be surprised by this grandiose gesture. Really Ali? This was surprising to you? I doubt it. And why do I doubt it? Because there is no way you would have asked a cripple to go mountain climbing on a freaking volcano if you thought he had crutches! Am I right? or am I right?
This particular 2 on 1 date was like none other. Other than the helicopter ride...Ali basically had two separate dates. One inside a cave...and one outside a cave. I was happy to see that the Wrestler played a fair game inside the cave and didn't use the time to bash Kasey (no need really...the guy can mess things up on his own!)---Then the time finally arrived for Kasey to show Ali his tattoo (which I forgot to mention...Frank completely encouraged him to do---what a fake jerk. He knew that would freak Ali out and his whole sympathetic..."Hey buddy...this is your time to shine" speech made me throw up in my mouth a little!) Anyway, it was perfect editing---Ali had just finished saying how all Kasey needs to do is be normal and then BAM---the ink is revealed---leaving her speechless. He made it clear that he will finally have a rose to give someone in return. Uh okay...sure...whatever you say PSYCHO!
Ali finally presented the rose to the lucky guy and it was not only abrupt, but also CHEESY beyond belief! "Kasey...I need to let you go so you can find the girl for you."---Newsflash Ali...he thinks you're the girl!!! Get it??? So as dramatic as ever....he's left alone on the glacier and the 2 fly off (no contact or conversation between the 2 of them) She clearly doesn't want the wreslter...but she had to choose the lesser of 2 evils at this point.
The cocktail party is next and the only thing worth mentioning is that Forehead used this time to make fun of Kasey. As much as Kasey is worth making fun of...I'm not sure I was cool with Forehead doing it. There is really no need to bring up a guy that isn't even on the show anymore. BUT clearly the guy is grasping at straws to try and get her attention---so a little blue pen and some creative art...and VIOLA....he's the "funny guy" with an insanely huge head!
The other thing is Frank got the kick in the pants he needed during the group date and stepped up to getting some alone time with Ali during the cocktail party which she really liked!
The final thing is...2 Words Chris finally left. I was going to write-- said good-bye (because that's 2 words and that's all he can handle for a day)...but it's more appropriate to just say---he left. Don't worry...you won't miss him. AT ALL!!! (another 2 words!!!)
So who do I think Ali winds up with...
As much as I love Cape Cod Chris---I just don't think it's him. I'm not seeing enough gushing over him. (and I can't see why!!!!)
Roberto---she's definitely into him...but she also feels he's wayyyy to good for her. So I'm not sure she could handle a long term relationship with someone like him.
Kirk---well that just seems a little too easy, right? But dang...that fool has been through a lot. Ali can you handle that?
Justin---oh please his days are sooo numbered. He's out next week for sure.
Frank---again...not sure about him. He's next to snap.
Forehead---uh... yeah...right.
Ty---I don't think she has enough in common with the cowboy.
So friends...what do you think? It's really hard to judge who she ends up with because like I mentioned before...SHE GUSHES OVER all of them! Today, I say the top 3 are still, Roberto, Cape Cod Chris, and Kirk...of those 3 Kirk and Cape...and of those 2...Kirk.
We'll see.
Until next time...stop and smell the roses

"I'm here to guard and protect your heart"---OMG!
Well folks...I hope you'll forgive my late blog post this week. I started feeling ill on Monday night--right smack in the middle of the episode, just as Ali was. Hmmmm...sympathy pains for that sickly girl? Perhaps. The next day, I felt worse than before and barely managed to perk up enough to even watch the rest of the episode. So...today, Wednesday---as I sip my Jamba Juice Cold Buster--I begin my review in what other watchers are calling the worst episode ever!
Let's begin!
First off, I love how she keeps thanking the guys for agreeing to come to New York with her. Uh hello...do they really have a choice in the matter? And seriously, what guy would refuse an all expenses paid trip to the Big Apple?? Oh come on!
So here we are in the Big Apple and Ali gets a makeover. Like getting a brand new wardrobe and full on makeover before the filming of the Bachelorette wasn't enough...she gets to get "N.Y." clothes now! Spoiled beeyotch!
Her first date was with Deaf Boy---Wow. As I'm sure you've all guessed, I was sooo excited to see that train wreck. And of course Deaf Boy Kasey did not disappoint. He was so annoying, so awkward, so creepy...urgh...then as if his annoying, awkward, creepy conversations weren't enough he INSISTED on singing to her...not once...not twice but like 3 times. YIKES! He sounded awful! I was so uncomfortable during the whole date. We're talking curled up in the fetal position and yelling, "please stop!" uncomfortable. Oh and if I had to hear him say, "I'm here to guard and protect your heart" one more time I was going to kick my foot through the freaking TV! But then I remembered the Lakers were gonna be on the next day. So I refrained. Seriously, how many times did he throw that infamous line out during the whole 2 hour episode--my guess is 27. I might have to go back and watch it and count. Yeah...I think I will. Anyway, I can't believe she didn't get rid of him when she had the chance. She decides to change the rules for him and tell him...you're not getting the rose but you're not going home yet either??? Really Ali, do you seriously think he's the guy for you? I know deep down she doesn't see herself with him so why prolong the misery! And speaking of misery...I guess it's time we discuss the freaking tattoo he got. Oh my goodness---you crazy weirdo! Who does that? Who freaking gets a tattoo not just for Ali---but with 11 stones symbolizing the 11 men left in the game??? HUH? Why did he feel the need to include these other saps in his sick and twisted immortalized symbol of how he wants to (say it with me) GUARD AND PROTECT HER HEART?? Coo coo called and they think it's time you put the straight jacket back on! I loved how the guys were all just dying inside at how stupid this so called grandiose gesture was! Their faces were CLASSIC! Oh and the big bad wrestler who is missing like 3 teeth on one side of his mouth (well at least it looks that way) had his moment to try and get the guys to hate on someone else. I'm over the Rated R...just move on buddy. Not sure why he's still even there. He's DEAD weight! He can't do anything, he never gets invited anywhere...it's just sad and pathetic. So as we all know by now, both Deaf Boy and the Wrestler get to hang around another week. This should be good.
Next up the group date with the Lion King EXTRAVAGANZA!!!
That weatherman was wayyyyy too excited about being on Broadway. WAYYYYY too excited. I love how the roles that they were auditioning for had no dancing or singing in it...but she made them do it anyway---in biker shorts. COMEDY! So Roberto wins the challenge because he's the only smooth one that decided hey, let me sing to Ali and not the old piano player. I think Ali pulled the director aside at the beginning and said, "no matter what...Roberto wins this...got it?"
The rest of the schmucks have to watch an awkward and weird love act up on wires between Ali and Roberto. Some group date! You lucky fellas get to see the Lion King...together...and not only that but you get to see the girl you're all fighting for...be suspended in air, intertwined with Roberto. Have fun! After the production, Ali begins to get sick. So sick in fact, that she runs off in the rain with territorial and paranoid Frank and then can't make a decision on who should get the rose for the evening. Another smooth one...Kirk decides he should tell her to get some rest and then offers to take her to her room and tuck her in. Good move on his part. He also was a total gentleman in not trying to make a move--although..she was totally sick so maybe he's a germaphobe. Either way...he scored points for Ali.
The next day...my favorite---Cape Cod Chris, the birthday boy, got to finally go out with Ali. It was so cute to hear his giddiness and to see his understanding and logical side that knows that in the real world people do get sick and plans don't always go as you hope. But smart guy that he is, brings her flowers, soup, and is perfectly content hanging out with her. A little side note here...I've never looked that cute when I'm sick. Must be nice to have a make-up and hair crew make you look decent when you're feeling under the weather! Well, the date with Chris was great. I don't think he made a fool of himself. I think he was sweet, honest, genuine, and well...very likable. I also enjoyed how Ali let him call his Dad on his birthday. Sooooo sweet. One thing that worries me is that he didn't really ask much about her and he isn't featured in next week's episode. I hope that doesn't mean anything negative for him. I loved how she felt better enough to at least give him a great dinner and some live entertainment and kissing! Yay for Cape Cod Chris.
Meanwhile, back at the house we still have the coo coo Kasey, the annoying and gay weatherman, and the other fools.
Cocktail party time!!!
We all know she got rid of Jesse and FINALLY the weatherman. What I love about Jesse's departure was that he took it like a real man and simply said, "She's a city girl and I'm a country boy! I really miss my dogs!" LOL---hysterical! The weatherman, even after singing her a song (which I agree with whoever said...all we need is one more guy that can play the guitar in this house!) got booted! Of course he had to cry a little and say, "I feel like you really didn't get a chance to know me!"---Oh boy...yes-- we did get a chance to know you...and what we know of you is that you're entirely too nervous and fidgety and you're gay. So just move on and stop your crying.
The shockers of who gets to stick around one more week is of course coo coo Kasey, Forehead, and that fool that hasn't said one word since he stepped out of the limo and introduced himself. His name is Chris N. I've included a photo since---none of you will recognize that name. I guess in his case, it pays to keep your mouth shut and slide by one more week. You get to see some of the world and you don't have the pressure of competing for a rose. It's only a matter of time buddy---so enjoy it while you can.
Well, dear friends...I'm looking forward to next week and all the drama that will undoubtedly occur.
I think the final 3 guys are: Roberto, Cape Cod Chris, and Kirk.
Until then don't forget to stop and smell the roses,

A high wire, a music video, and a long walk on CRUTCHES!
Hey folks,
So let me get right into this. Last night all the Roberto fans rejoiced as she picked him to go on the first one on one date of the night. One thing is for sure about Roberto--he makes that girl giddy. She is like a silly little school girl around him. She definitely has the hots for him! Before I get to my opinions of the date---let me go on record saying that I believe Ali is full of it when it comes to her fear of flying. If you really are as terrified of flying you don't plan for helicopters and private jets to take you on dates and then suspend in the air on a high wire! LIAR! Okay...now that I've aired that...let's talk about how the date went. I think it went very well and what a smart dude to make sure his first kiss with Ali is 20 stories in the air with all that adrenalin pumping. Now that's the way you become memorable. I also want to state that I was not a Roberto fan (as you all know)---but this date changed that for me a bit. I think they really like one another and there really isn't anything bad about him. He seems sweet, cultured, genuine...so okay...have at it. You can "Dame un beso", too! If he's the fool who ends up having a girlfriend... I WILL BE SHOCKED. So she pins her little rose on his chest and then proceeds to cuddle and make out and well...that pretty much sums up the date.
Okay, the next day---the group date.
I was busting up at the reaction of the men when they were dropped off in a "sketchy" part of town. I think my favorite Cape Cod Chris...uttered the words, "This place is where you imagine a gang war will break out!" Oh you silly little white boy from Mass.--don't be scared. I'll protect you. I'm glad he got a date with her but I'm still waiting for a one on one with him. I think they probably have quite a bit in common but it's so hard to see her into anyone but Roberto.
Okay so back to the date---apparently, they will be starring in a music video for Bare Naked Ladies (sure they are)--cause that video pretty much sucked...so I'm sure they will re shoot. with real actors later on--- but similar to the Jillian season this gave Ali a chance to make out with a few of the guys. The ones I will mention are obvious--the Weatherman (I'm already cringing), Kirk (major make out scene), Cape Cod (hamina hamina), and Frank (Mr. Unemployed, himself).
So first...let's discuss the crazy little pansy---Weatherman. Oh my goodness. He is so gay! You're freaking out about a kiss? Sheesh...some guys got slapped all night and you have to whisper to Ali to not do this? PATHETIC! It was painful to see her have to make the move on him since he got all 8 years old on her! Then that very awkward conversation they had on the couch after the date where he said he'd like to go somewhere in private to have a real first kiss and he was DENIED. Okay, maybe they were interrupted but she would have denied him had Forehead not gotten her out of that mess.
Next up was the major kissing scene with Kirk---ewww...that guy grosses me out. I'm not sure what it is but they were definitely into the scene and never even heard the director yell, "CUT!" I wasn't too surprised he got the rose of the evening. Even though they had good physical chemistry--I'm not too concerned about him.
A quick note about Cape Cod---his back is hot, too!!! I liked that they had a little more time together but still worried that there isn't enough between them.
Finally, our little first ever one on one date boy, Frank---he was sweating bullets this episode. All slaps and no kisses for you buddy! LOL
The next day...we find out that Ali decides to take Mango---ooops I mean Hunter out on a date at her house (that right there should have told you that you're not worth the money and effort to plan a real date)--but anyway...what a waste of an alone date. Did she really need a one on one with him to see she was not interested in him??? Really?? BUT...before we even got to that sad excuse for a date---we see our cripple make a major move in walking a couple sweaty miles to her house. (Well...at least that's what the show wants us to think---cause seriously he would be much sweatier and smellier if that actually happened!) He looked pretty high and dry to me. Not even one bead of sweat on his brow. That whole gesture was a little interesting to me. Okay, fine..you want to play hard ball and get her attention---okay but do you really need to make little snide comments to the guys about how you would totally walk to her house if you could and then tease Mango about how awesome it would be to go to her house? No wonder the dudes hate you. I don't know what to make of him anymore. He's crying one minute, then cussing the next...drama=NOT FOR ME!
As for the Mango date...AWKWARD---I'm glad she cut him loose when she did cause that whole segment was so painful to watch. There was nothing there! NOTHING. And as if that wasn't bad enough, when she did tell him there is nothing romantic between them, Mango asks, "Is there anything I can do to change that?" UH NO...just say, it was nice meeting you and best of luck and MOVE ON...don't make this rejection worse! PLEASE!
The cocktail party before elimination...
Well, it was your typical...gang up on the wrestler party---notice my boy Cape Cod stays out of that drama...LOVE IT!
What I thought was beyond bogus was that bull of Ali telling Roberto, "You know, Justin walked to my house, right? Oh wait...you didn't know? I thought for sure he told you guys?" REALLY??? Come on...That was so planned and it was so ridiculous! Well, once the boys got a hold of that bit of news things got very "emotional". I was shocked that tattoo Jesse chose to wear DENIM from head to toe and comb his bangs forward! Ewww...he went down a couple notches for me...then and there!
So...the two to hit the road was the other twin...John and the poor curly haired fool that couldn't open the champagne bottle. I wish these guys would be a little more manly about rejection. Why can't they say, "She's a nice gal, I would have loved to have a connection with her, but it just wasn't there. I wish her the best of luck and I hope I can find someone I care about." BAM---walk away with your head held high...not all mopey and weepy...
Still majorly shocked that DEAF boy is still there and it looks like we'll have a little bit of his craziness come through next week. Woo hoo. In this episode where he mentioned how jealous he was that he couldn't be on the music date...because he would love to have Ali hear him sing...I WAS DYING! DYING! And guess what folks??...we "hear" him sing next week! LOL!!!
Also, majorly bummed that Forehead and Weatherman is still in the mix...but their days are so numbered. Do they seriously think they stand a chance? SERIOUSLY!!!!
So folks, I think the top contenders for Ali's heart are:
Roberto, Cape Cod, Frank, and now that fool Kirk
We shall see...
Lindaffodil
So let me get right into this. Last night all the Roberto fans rejoiced as she picked him to go on the first one on one date of the night. One thing is for sure about Roberto--he makes that girl giddy. She is like a silly little school girl around him. She definitely has the hots for him! Before I get to my opinions of the date---let me go on record saying that I believe Ali is full of it when it comes to her fear of flying. If you really are as terrified of flying you don't plan for helicopters and private jets to take you on dates and then suspend in the air on a high wire! LIAR! Okay...now that I've aired that...let's talk about how the date went. I think it went very well and what a smart dude to make sure his first kiss with Ali is 20 stories in the air with all that adrenalin pumping. Now that's the way you become memorable. I also want to state that I was not a Roberto fan (as you all know)---but this date changed that for me a bit. I think they really like one another and there really isn't anything bad about him. He seems sweet, cultured, genuine...so okay...have at it. You can "Dame un beso", too! If he's the fool who ends up having a girlfriend... I WILL BE SHOCKED. So she pins her little rose on his chest and then proceeds to cuddle and make out and well...that pretty much sums up the date.
Okay, the next day---the group date.
I was busting up at the reaction of the men when they were dropped off in a "sketchy" part of town. I think my favorite Cape Cod Chris...uttered the words, "This place is where you imagine a gang war will break out!" Oh you silly little white boy from Mass.--don't be scared. I'll protect you.

Week 2--17 men left
Hey guys, I'm back and ready to tear this show apart...so as Ali would say, "Let's get this cocktail party started".
First off, I was a little surprised that Frank got the first one on one...there is something about him I just don't like. Well, at least that's how I felt when she first asked him to go on the date and then as the date progressed I was okay with him. I think he reminds me too much of Jason Meschnik--that constant smile---something...I'll figure it out. The whole date was sort of a bust---big deal...walk the Hollywood stars? I mean really---the car breaks down, then you go to look at Hollywood---only to see that Ali is some what of an attention whore. She knew she would be recognized and if by some chance she wasn't recognized, the humongo entourage of camera men and sound crew probably gave it away that something was happening right before the people of LA. Then the whole Hollywood sign---looks like it's a good thing Hef forked over the necessary cash to save the sign or there might be construction going on up there.
While Ali and Frank are on their..."ohhhh so romantic date--NOT" The guys back at the house---never fail to disappoint. Whoever says men aren't as catty as women ARE WRONG!!!! There is nothing more unattractive than men getting way competitive with one another. It's one thing when you're playing sports...but when you're wooing someone...no thanks.
So first up---Craig-FOREHEAD is on my absolute last nerve. There are 3 guys that annoyed me last night---Forehead, Weatherman and Whoa Hair---but of all those 3--believe it or not Forehead irritated me the most. Who the heck does that fool think he is? Get over the fact, that Rated R didn't tell you he was a pro wrestler...since when is he your BFF? hmmm?? I mean really, most guys on night one try to do something that makes them stand apart from the crowd. All he did was wear a shirt that had his wrestler name---he didn't lie to anyone! In fact, wasn't it night one that Rated R told them he was a pro wrestler??? Uh yeah...I think it was. Maybe he wanted Ali to know first. Sheesh buddy...CHILLAX!
And before any of you get crazy--I hated Whoa Hair and Weatherman, too.
First Whoa Hair...what an absolute ASS. What a freaking button pushing bully---TURN OFF! What was the point in making the guy with tattoos (Jesse) feel inadequate because of them. What's it to you? Then the whole picking on the weather guy...I know he's annoying but geez Hair...lay off a bit.
Now on to Weatherman---Oh my goodness---JUST SHUT UP! Fine..you want to be the guy to tell Ali that we have an ass in the house--fine...but do you need to talk about him the entire time you talk to Ali. Clearly this guy didn't watch previous seasons---cause the good guy that comes clean to sell out the bad guy---never wins the girl in the end. You have officially taken yourself off the potential boyfriend block and put yourself on the best buddy block. Idiot! All the brown belts in the world won't help you win this Karate match! Oh and Michael Jackson called from the grave and he wants his white jacket back!
Now on the the group date-
Let's first discuss how our resident cripple was hopping around on the sand---geez louise buddy---put a freaking trash bag on your leg and give me some piece of mind regarding the sand factor. Although, my best friend did mention how uncool it was for her to make him hop all the way down to the water---only to tell them we're going back up to the house for a photo shoot. Yeah...that was pretty sucky!
The calendar was a pretty stupid idea---who the heck would want a calendar with those losers? For those that dressed up without any complaining--good for you---for those that whined and complained...AKA Weatherman---oh just suck it up and be a sport.
We had one fool---Kirk--who didn't say much all night, except for when Ali brushed his leg in one of the photos...the dude said, "It was great experiencing that intimacy with her"--HUH? EASY turbo--it's just your leg.
Ty and his guitar---oh boy...the boys are not gonna like that. In fact, Mr. Forehead reared his ugly (and I do mean ugly) head--just as I suspected. I'm not too terribly impressed with divorced Ty--at least not yet. So what if you can sing...
Second one on one with Jesse-
For a small town boy---I was shocked that he knew Ali was wearing skinny jeans. Also, I got soooo annoyed how impressed he was that she was driving a Ferrari. Uh, hello...it's an automatic. Anyone can drive that! Had it been a stick I really would have been impressed. I loved his reaction to the oyster, I liked his enthusiasm for being there, and I hated her dress during dinner! SO NOT FLATTERING! He is a cute dude but I'm not sure they have enough in common.
Now on to the cocktail party before the elimination begins--
1. Frank...you already feel like a couple??? Ease up buddy...ease up.
2. Cape Cod Chris (my favorite---he is so good looking) had me really nervous. His conversation with her started out great and then he got all excited and hyper. I'm glad the conversation ended when it did--cause I could see it heading downhill and FAST.
3. Rico Suave--Roberto---sorry ladies---I just don't see it.
4. Deaf Dude---that fool got robbed of some alone time with Ali. Good thing, too cause I can't imagine listening to that voice for more than 2 seconds.
5. Weatherman-OH MY GOODNESS, there you go again using your one on one time to tattle on Whoa Hair--and then I loved the effect of having Weatherman in the shadows mad dogging...yeah that's right...I said Mad dogging...Whoa Hair. ---PURE COMEDY!
6. Whoa Hair---the conversation she had with him was beyond awkward. He kept looking away and his eyes would get all crazy big---weirdo!
Now...the results---One of the twins (read previous post to see who I'm referring to--got booted off---the one that looked like he got in a fight...he had a freaking knot on his head and scratch by his eye.
Also, I think I was most shocked she kept FOREHEAD and Weatherman---although, as much as I hate the Weatherman---It was so perfect that he got to stick around and Whoa Hair was humiliated in that way. Who's laughing now, jerk??? AMERICA!
Well folks...that's it for now...

Let's meet the Bachelors
Well...well...well...another season of a show that has proven more than once that meeting your soul mate on TV is just not likely--but for some reason we buy it and we watch it...here you go folks let's begin another exciting--embarrassing--and entertaining season.
Before we introduce the Bachelors---let me first start off by saying that--why were they all toasting to Jake---for letting Ali go?---uh she decided to leave on her own?? Obviously---these cats never watched the previous season!
Now on to the Bachelors--
1. Chris H.-Real Estate Developer (Canadian). He was the first guy out of the limo who said probably 2 words all night---but I think he's super cute and he didn't make a fool of himself---so---for now, he's one of my favorites.
2. Chris L.-Landscaper (Cape Cod). From the moment I laid eyes on him---I thought..."ooo me likey". Poor thing was so choked up about his deceased mom that he couldn't even tell her, she's gone. A man who has a heart. I like that.
Ali-
We all remember her from the Jake Pavelka season. She had to choose between love and her job. Well, she chose her job until ABC offered her the opportunity of a lifetime and then she decided--hey--why not. Maybe I can be a correspondent for Dateline. too---or at least a future contestant on Dancing with the Stars--visit that blog here- http://myreviewandnews.blogspot.com/
Before we introduce the Bachelors---let me first start off by saying that--why were they all toasting to Jake---for letting Ali go?---uh she decided to leave on her own?? Obviously---these cats never watched the previous season!
Secondly, I'd like to add that---I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME ALI---you left your job and your apartment for this...---seems like an easy choice to me.
Now on to the Bachelors--
I know this will be difficult to follow since there were nothing but duplicate names--but for the true fans---you'll do your homework and look them up.
1. Chris H.-Real Estate Developer (Canadian). He was the first guy out of the limo who said probably 2 words all night---but I think he's super cute and he didn't make a fool of himself---so---for now, he's one of my favorites.
2. Chris L.-Landscaper (Cape Cod). From the moment I laid eyes on him---I thought..."ooo me likey". Poor thing was so choked up about his deceased mom that he couldn't even tell her, she's gone. A man who has a heart. I like that.
3. Chris N.-Entrepreneur -Fancy way to say---unemployed but creative--(Orlando, Fl.)
Shocked he got a rose cause he said NADA all night.
4. Craig M.-Dental Sales (Canadian)--also known as "WHOA HAIR"--I do not like this fool at all. In fact, I didn't like him from the segment at the beginning where they showed him chatting and flirting with the girls at the bar---oh blah! He's also an aggressive ass that is threatened by anyone who gets the least bit of attention. Why was he so mean about Rated-R?--I can understand being annoyed with the weatherman...but sheesh---Rated R was just telling Ali about his job. (More on him later)
5. Craig R. -Lawyer (Philadelphia)--This guy is so gross to me. All I kept thinking was whoa...FOREHEAD---I'm shocked he made it to the next level---it must have been the shoe key chain bit.
6. Derek---eliminated---and rightfully so...the guy just didn't step up.
7. Derrick-SHOOTER--ELIMINATED---rightfully so---What the heck did he think would happen by telling that horrible story?!?!? Seriously...come on. Never a good time to tell anyone that. EVER.
8. Frank- Retail Manager (unemployed screen writer living with Mom)--This dude annoys me. I don't like that he said he loves Ali. Sure you do...you just met the chick...moron!
9. Hunter- Internet Account Exec--(ukulele) The song was cute and clever. The others were definitely threatened by that--but the fool looks like Mango from SNL.
10. Jason-Construction Consultant-Eliminated---and I thought he was jerk...so good riddance.
11. Jay-Lawyer (who needs a major haircut!--Okay Charles in Charge back in the 80's) He was also eliminated and entirely too broken up about missing the boat. Just relax---you've got money and you don't even know her. You'll be okay!
12. Jesse-General Contractor--the guy that made the wood heart necklace.
I loved the necklace and so far I was happy she decided to keep him around.
13. John C.-Hotel Business Developer- This fool looks just like Tyler V. -Online Advertising--Judge for yourself...
The first dude is Tyler V.
The second dude is John C.
They both get to stick around another week.
We had a few more eliminated (John N and Phil)...I won't even mention them cause they said nothing at all--ALL NIGHT! I will mention...the outdoorsman-Kyle--REALLY??? What are you doing there? Do you honestly think you have a chance? That isn't an actual paying job. It's a hobby, right? In fact, to quote my best friend..."Does Mother Nature sign your check?" LOVE IT...and oh sooo true!
14. Jonathan-Weatherman-Let's just call him Chatty Chad---sheesh--just shut it!
15. Justin (RATED-R)-Okay first off, he scored major points by being a cripple---and I honestly didn't mind that he told her what he did for a living. I never once got the impression he was trying to plug his job. Stupid, jealous men! Pahlease...don't be a hater cause he gets paid to pretend. I'm glad she gave him the rose.
16. Kasey -Advertising Account Exec-I know this is going to make me sound like the biggest jerk on the planet--but that's okay. Is this fool deaf? I was searching frantically for a sign of a hearing aid---but I saw nothing. Something was off. And then based on what's coming up in the season---it looks like we might have a little stalker/suicidal dude on our hands.
17. Kirk-Sales by day-Scrapbooker by night-We'll just call him the gay one.
18. Roberto -Insurance Agent. I'm a little disappointed that he danced with her (sooooo been done before) and yet she was all into him, I don't see it at all.
19. Steve- Sales Rep- No comment on him yet---except he looked very familiar but not sure why.
20. Ty-Medical Sales--Major Southern drawl guy--not too impressed by him.
21. Tyler M. (the guy who wore boots because he thought he saw her wear boots on her first date with Jake)---DUDE---that was JILLIAN'S first date with JAKE. You absolute MORON! No wonder he got "booted"
So folks...that's what we have as far as the bachelors. It should be a terrific season for a blogger like me. It looks like we will have more crying from Ali, someone leave late in the game, someone who ends up having a girlfriend, and someone who loves her so much and wants to protect and guard her heart (deaf dude)--ready to commit suicide for her. Ooooo such fun!
Until next week---remember always...I prefer daffodiles
