another fab Monday night..


FHE was great, but the Bachelorette was better. In fact, FHE wasn't so good because Zack dislocated his pinky toe playing hide-and-go-seek in the dark.... but that's not what I am here to discuss.. I want to talk about the reality dating show that is far from anything in real life. I am NOT going to do recaps of the show--- this is only for discussion purposes with those who are already watching... I usually call all my sisters on Tues morning to see what they thought of the show the night before-- but why not open the discussion? Here we go..


I still love Michael. How can you not love him? He hasn't gotten any one on one time with Jillian, so you never know if their personalities will mesh, but if he isn't chosen to be the final guy-- I want him as the new Bachelor. (I felt the same way about Jillian from the beginning and I love that she's finally in charge.) I am not surprised that the majority of the interview clips are of Michael- because he's hilarious. Most people don't like him because they don't think a brake dancer can support a family, but I am still a huge fan. Go Mikey, go Mikey.....


Then there's Kip... still my #2. He and Jillian have something going on and I loved their date. I think he's a genuine guy and he's got the whole package-- did you see his six pack on the first episode? Seriously a handsome dude, but I don't think he will be the last one standing. The show has edited him as the favorite from the beginning and I know they love to set us up. I think he will be one of the top 2 or 3 for sure, though.


Last week I chose Robby as my #3... I still really like him, but all of the sudden he has this lisp that came out of no where. After watching the first episode run down like five times with some friends, we've realized that Robby is the voice that says, "I just can't be here comfortably. I have to leave." Who knows if he actually says it to Jillian because they edit what they want to make it look more dramatic, but if someone goes home choses to go home, it's gonna be Robby.


Jake is a favorite of most people, but he's definitely not mine. I really don't like guys who are always smiling and always saying the right thing. And real men don't have to mention 10,000 times how they are a real man. He refers to the other guys as boys, but he's a sissy. I think he will eventually find a good girl, but I highly doubt he is Jillian's type.


Then there's Ed. I don't dislike Ed or the bags under his eyes. I think he's a cool guy and all-- but he talks in a monotone voice. Where is his personality? Yes, she had fun with him on their date, but they were repelling off a skyscraper. You could do that with a blow-up doll and have a good time. Who knows though-- she has a ton of personality and maybe she needs someone to balance it out. She might be attracted to men who look like Guy Smiley.


Who is this guy? Oh, yeah.. Reid. I have nothing to say about him, good or bad. I just thought it was funny when someone asked if his husband curled as well as he did.. I would be really surprised if he was one of the last guys standing.


Not really impressed with Jesse or his curling skills. He placed that shot out of pure luck and then he spends the next 2 hours talking about how skilled he was and how much he earned the date for the group. Enough already. Don't think he'll be around for long...


So glad Dave went home. I can't wait to see him on the aftershow-- I hope he's embarrassed of himself. Such an idiot... so glad she rejected him. I am sure it didn't dent his ego, but at least he's gone.


It was great to see Juan go. Too bad for sweet, soft spoken Juan. Maybe he can be the first Bachelor for gays.


I can't wait for Wes to go. It's been some good drama with him... and I really hope he does have a girl friend or two. If he ever releases an album, I won't buy it and if he's the last guy standing, I will never watch the show again. I think I said that last season about Molly. I still don't like her.


I am actually really glad Tanner is on the show. He's so entertaining. I loved watching him sweat bullets during the rose ceremony. That was seriously awesome! And Tanner tattling to Jillian without giving any names was so cowardly. She only kept him around to get him to spill the beans next week. Oh, man.. will this guy ever find a wife? Maybe he can start a new reality show where he can pick his wife only by seeing their feet. The finale would be him at the alter, lifting up his wife's veil and seeing her face for the first time. That would be radical. I will talk to my executive producers and see if they are interested...


Speedo guy was cool... but I didn't think he was going to last long. I am surprised he made it this far after his cheesy first line, "You are a good catch."


I was secretly hoping that Jillian sent both men home last night on the two on one date. Mark doesn't do it for me. He's a pretty boy, but not with that nasty beard. I would take a charismatic brake dancer over a boring pizza maker any day of the week.

Only 6 more days until the next episode...

ok, I didn't even read this post, just scrolled through. I just wanted to say I can't believe you posted a pic of each of the guys and gave your opinion of them. I can't even get the most important pics of my kids up on my blog, and you're adding Bacholorette guys! You are definitely on top of it to be able to do this. Well that and maybe a little obsessed. ;)

I have never in my life watched an episode of the Bachelor or the Bachelorette... and yet with each new thing you post about it, I find myself wanting more and more to start. If I start watching it, and become addicted, I'm holding you solely responsible!! (I'm not sure if I mean that as a compliment or a threat...)

I was just driving and I thought to myself that I wasn't regretting not watching it. But, you have me seriously contemplating watching it online so I can come back and comment...and then blog about it myself. But most importantly find out what word they bleeped otu. I did want to say, from seeing the commercials is Jillian totally dressing more scandalous than she was last season?

Sarah said...

what an awesome recap janet! i started watching the show 2 seasons ago and got hooked for life. it's so entertaining, even though some episodes make me vow never to watch it again. i always come back to it on monday nights. i'm not sure who i like just yet. I think kiptyn is probably my favorite. SO glad david went home, i can't believe what a jerk he is! and didn't he get the first impression rose?? tanner is just a weirdo and i'm sure the producers are making her keep him around to add a little spice.

i'm so glad to know i'm not the only clawson that watches trash reality tv! ;)

Ok- I agree with most of that: David is crazy, Juan is definately gay, Tanner is creepy and totally should have either spilled ALL the beans, or kept his mouth shut. Pick a side buddy! Wes comes across as a pig (and if he sings that same song one more time I am going to vommit) and I really like Mike, but he and Jillian make a weird couple. I hope Reid, Kipton and Ed do well. :) That is my top three this week- but it will probably change later!

I am not a fan of Kiptyn. Isn't he the one who has never been dumped - he's always the dumper? He seems like a player to me. And I love how Tanner kept saying "quit looking at me Juan" during the "who told Jillian someone had a girlfriend" interrogation. I'm not sure if that was edited in, but wouldn't him saying that be a total giveaway that he was the tattler?

Mama Yo said...

I finally had time to sit and watch this! What an episode! I LOVED the chem btwn Kip and Jil. He definately seems the most compatible to me right now. But I'm still a bit undecided.

I AM SOOOO HAPPY that David went home! I could NOT beleive how he was talkign to her during their one on one time. AND that he THOUGHT she was IN TO HIM! HELLO DORK FACE!?!?! He tried to cop a feel when he pulled up her shirt. I'm so glad she didn't kiss him when he tried for it. That was just SICK!

I too laughed when Tanner kept freaking out at Juan during the rose ceremony. It made me think of my 5 and 7 year olds!

I for one am SO happy you are doing this. No one else in my family knows of my dirty little secret. I've got to have SOMEONE to disucss it with!

Holy cow - it's 2:45am. I'm out!

Ok I'm going to make some waves...and some not waves.

First: I'd say that Tanner is my #2- Seriously! He's quirky. Life would always be interesting and fun with Tanner. Who freakin cares that he has a foot fetish?

Ok, I know I've already declared myself a fan of Jake, but the guy has the total package. But the guy almost made ME fall in love with him---I LOVE that he had the balls to pull back and evaluate if the situation is right for him as one of the 25 (have you EVER seen someone do that for reals and not be just whining about the time they are NOT spending with the Bachelor/bachelorette?) I think it caused some friction between the two, and that brings them closer than the other unreal dating situations they are put in.

Second: Speedo guy, really when was he ever cool? I'm glad the cheeseburger didn't get the rose on that date.

Dave, Wess, and Juan are my three can'tstands So I've only got one more to go.

Third: Reid and Kip are tied for my #3 and 4 spot. I think Reid is one that will surprise us all.

Lastly: I am just doing to say it Michael is such a girlie Man--REALLY? Sure he can dance, but what else does he have going for him? He's kind of pouty...Oh and can I give him some cheese to go with his whine?

Ok, i need more discussion! start another post dangit. i've been spoiler searching and need to chat about it.

first: i LOVE MIKE. i think he is seriously hilarious. i want to be best buddies with him and laugh around the camp fire after he teaches me how to dance.

2. i don't care for reid. he looks like a good kisser, but whatevs. he's too different from jill.

3. wes. not worried about him. i think he's planted to stress us out and cause drama.

4. kipton. do you think he's gay? he seems like a front runner, but we could just be lapping up what we're fed. we only have a sliver of what is really going on behind the scenes, but their date was steamy.

5. so glad foot boy was gone. he's got a potty mouth and he and his package need to go work for a 900 number.

6. jesse. hmmmm. looks like he and jill hit it off but i don't know why i think he'll be in the last 2.

7. i personally love ed. i think he has a really dry sense of humor. i went back and watched it on youtube (their date) and he was cracking jokes like crazy but in a really dry witty way. i heard through the grape vine that he saved the rose she gave him because he will be joining the show again. i hope so. i thought he was a cool guy.

8. jake was definitely "too perfect". i wasn't sad that he left. a lot of people want him to be the next bachelor. please no.

9. it was time for robby to go. easy on him being a little boy. he doesn't know what to do with his life, then he tells her that he's cursed and then acts like he wouldn't know what to do with himself after being married.

Anywho, that's where we stand right now.

i'm DYING over the season preview from monday night. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
