I know I should be spending my computer time writing about our trip to Utah or documenting the funny things Zack said this morning, but I'm not gonna. Priorities are priorities and the Bachelorette always comes before my family. Besides, I am two weeks behind-- so let's talk about all things shallow...
Lucky for me, I was able to watch last week with my sister. Our husbands joined in and made sly comments throughout the show. It was two solid hours of entertainment. Honestly, I am SO sad Tanner and his package got the boot. Seriously, that was fun to watch. I cannot believe he thought Jillian would pick him because he's "blessed". What a show. I think it was awesome she left Robby in the middle of no where. That's gotta hurt the ego. And Jake-- poor, sweet, adorable Jake. I am sure there are plenty of girls out there that want him to fly their plane, but Jilly is not one of them. So glad she got rid of him before the hometown dates..
And if last week was good, last night's episode was even better. I am very surprised Reid is still around. I don't think he will last another week. I think the clips about someone not being able to "perform" is totally staged. It's Reid's voice saying "I felt like I failed. My fears got in the way of the moment" but there is no way ABC is going to talk about erectile disfunction on Monday night tv. Reid's probably talking about his fears of raw meat. But then again, they did show Tanner dancing in his underwear.. so anything goes. Bottom line with Reid, I think he's way too uptight for
Wes doesn't scare me. Of course, I would love Jillian to knock him to the curb, but he's adding too much drama (and getting too much exposure) to let him off this early. I am crossing my fingers that the producers will get a hold of Laurel and bring her to the final rose ceremony. btw.. Has anyone ordered a copy of his CD? I'm should be in stores by now.
I am relieved Jesse is gone. Deep down, I was worried he would make it to the end. It's not that I don't like him, but I didn't any sparks flying. I did think it was HILARIOUS when he compared Jillian to a great wine. He said you have to wait and let it sit before you take full advantage of it. Jillian was smart to get rid of anyone planning on taking full advantage of her.
My beloved Michael is gone. After seven episodes, I don't have a bad thing to say about him. If I was single, and shorter, I would pursue. In fact, I would even settle for his twin. I loved how cute he was with his sister and everything he says about Jillian is so adorable. Obviously, Jillian wasn't feeling it for him, but I think there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are. Wouldn't it be great if he was the next bachelor? Would the show actually pick a break dancer-- instead of a multi-millionaire, doctor or prince to be the bachelor? I hope so.
What do you really think about Kiptyn? He's handsome and all, but his mother totally bothered me. And he seems to be a nice guy, but don't you think he's boring? Rumor has it that he'll be the runner-up and is holding out to be the next bachelor. I just can't see him having enough fans to come back for another season. But then again-- there was Jason, who was a total loser and got the coveted bachelor position.
And last but definitely not least, Ed is back. How could he not be the one? Granted, I have thought in past episodes that he's very dry and monitone, but it's obvious that Jill has something for him. I think the fact that he went home and came back says a lot. This is the ONLY real life situation about this entire reality show. Work is a big issue in the real world-- and lots of couples break up and realize what it feels like to be apart, so I think this speaks volumes. They actually just might have a shot in the real world. I know in the earlier previews it shows Ed, Wes and Kip in Hawaii... but I can't go back to confirm because my husband recorded 60+ hours of Wimbledon when we were on vaca and it erased all of my previously recorded Bachelorette episodes. Bummer! Now I can't sit around all day and analyze side head shots and voice overs...
So, that's my unofficial unprofessional opinion. I haven't read any spoilers... (obviously, I don't have time to spend on frivolous things :) But spoilers are totally welcome in the comments. What is all this talk about Kiptyn being gay? I wouldn't doubt it.. considering his name is spelled with a Y. And one of my neighbors told me that Ed's parents fly to Hawaii to meet Jillian. I love how the Bachelorette is the only thing I talk about with my neighbor. Time to get a life.
Tell me whatcha think. I am looking forward to next week, but I literally can't wait to see the Men Tell All episode. I already miss Tanner.








not this cute anymore!

hmmm. i just finished watching the two hours and am left a little unfulfilled. perhaps more confused because i just can't nail down one guy i really like for jillian.
more than caring about whether or not wes has a girlfriend, i just think he's full of himself and needs to go. there's just been something creepy about him from the start.
kiptyn's mother...yikes. me no likey. but apparently she liked jillian after the grilling so it might work. k doesn't seem to have as much personality but i like the guy ok enough.
but ed doesn't have as much personality either. and unless his parents do end up coming out to meet her, it could end up like melissa last season (did you hear she got engaged last weekend!?).
reid just doesn't seem to be a good fit.
i think i want her to end up with ed. although when he left the show i was confused at how broken up jillian was about it since she didn't seem to care about him one way or the other previously. other than she was still keeping him around. strange.
can't wait until next week! wes better get kicked off i just can't watch them kiss, it grosses me out.
Girl, I never had one single interest in this show until you started doing these posts. Now I'm hooked. I DVR it and watch it whilst folding laundry or ironing on either Tues. or Wed. Thanks. I have to agree with you on Ed being the one...although I think Reid will last longer than Kyptin. I actually like Reid for her. His family seemed really cool. Kyptin's mom...aaack! I would be afraid. But Ed seems ready and nice and he really has feelings. We shall see.
I love Ed. I'm so glad he came back. Since he left I have been saying to Kevin, "I wish Ed would just come back. He's the best for her." And Kevin would say, "Who's Ed?"
Here's what I have been thinking about Wes. He thinks it is so great that he is getting so much exposure on the show, but it is bad exposure, no? They're totally making him out to be a real jerk. I don't think any girl watching the show would ever buy his CD. At least I wouldn't. I really think the show is hurting his career more than it is helping it.
Okay...I totally forgot about your blog and happened upon it and saw this post...this show is my guilty pleasure!! My husband totally mocks me for watching it but I have been hooked for a few seasons now!!
I have loved Kiptyn from the start...his mom I did NOT like though. She bugged me big time and so did his sis and he kinda acted non-committal too. Hmmm. Ed...LOVE him!! I was kinda mad that she gave him so much crap about leaving though...it is one thing to choose work over a relationship when you know it is just you & that person but when it is you + 7 other guys...come on!!! He is a cutie and I know he will be in the final 2 for sure. Wes...I think the producers are making her keep him around until the final 3...fantasy suites. He is a scum bad though. And Reid...I was never a big fan...just didn't see any spark between the 2 but his family was great and he is growing on me. I will definitely be coming back to read your post from this coming weeks episodes!!
She likes Reid, and I see something there between them. She is always laughing around him. Ed is okay, but he has no personality. He is sort of....dull. Kip is cute, but his mother freaked me out. I think she will pick Ed though ( i think she has a thing for tall men). Don't see the relationship lasting though.
