Scout Finch

Loved the show! Given my weakness for trashy reality TV shows, it's a good thing I only have limited basic digital cable. Otherwise, my TiVo would be crammed full of them and I'd never leave the house. Even with the regular networks and Discovery, there's already plenty of them. Does this ring a bell? "I LOVE SEAN!" shouted out to the world after she knew him, what, about a week? I actually like those gold chandelier ones although those are not something I'd wear hiking. On Juan Pablo's season during the hometown date, she was wearing the same pair of earrings I have from Kohl's. Am now wondering if I should check there for the gold ones. I liked her all right during her season but am definitely liking her more now. However, as nice as I am and don't want to hurt someone's feelings, I still would have gone on the date with Graham if I had chosen him first. She can't waste time finding someone if she wants to stay on the show. I've liked him ever since Bachelor Pad when he became a close/best friend to Michelle Money after the show. He was there for her when her father died and apparently was an exceptional person in her life during that time.

Jen4, the first season of Paradise Hotel is still the gold standard for me, especially season one. It's still the most wonderfully tawdry dating reality show EVER! Is it on DVD, per chance? Temptation Island tried, bless its heart. Gee, I wonder if the rule about having to find love every week or get evicted will result in several meaningful, long-term committed relationships. Ha! I guess it just comes down to which couple/bachelor/batchelorette fakes it the most convincingly. "I'd like to thank the Academy..."

If/when Donny does get evicted, I console myself with the thought that it's incredibly likely he will win the $25,000 prize that America votes on.

That makes sense. Having to wait another day for pizza, cold Pepsi and a shower would make me tend towards urgency too!

What the hell is in those donuts and can I get several dozen to drop off at the local police station?

Due to the sudden flexibility of them depending on which houseguest is in danger, perhaps Rules should be in quote marks!

Y'all are going to hate me for unleashing this earworm, but all morning "like a Beast Mode Cowboy" to the tune of "like a Rhinestone Cowboy" has been running through my head. Dear god, please make it stop!

What a perfect and hilarious typo for this discussion!

I don't quite understand why they're always freaking out about not getting to the extraction point on time. It's not as if they'll then be stuck living (naked and afraid) there indefinitely if they don't. At a certain point anyway, I'd probably be all, "Hey, I just made it through 21 days. I'm going to stay right here and you can just come pick up my tired, starving, bug-bitten ass."

It's very annoying that I am empathizing with Caleb. I posted this on Facebook back in 2009: "I suggest that after using IcyHot, you don't forget to wash your hands and absent-mindedly rub an eye. Ow." At least I knew it was incredibly stupid and that I deserved any mockery.

He also bent over and kissed her head! While some women swoon over men holding babies, I love a guy who is not afraid to baby-talk to his pets and give them little kisses like Josh did. I have a guy friend who's married and they have a cat that he adores. One day during a chat, he just randomly typed, "I LOVE THOMAS!" Awww. No need, Spinal Tap has already done the work for us: Workin' on a sex farm Tryin' to raise some hard love Gettin' out my pitch fork Pokin' your hay Scratchin' in your hen house Sniffin' at your feedbag Slippin' out your back door Leavin' my spray Sex farm woman, I'm gonna mow you down Sex farm woman, I'll rake and hoe you down Sex farm woman Don't you see my silo risin' high, high, high? Workin' on a sex farm Hosin' down your barn door Botherin' your livestock They know what I need Workin' up a hot sweat Crouchin' in your pea patch Plowin' through your bean field Plantin' my seed

Apparently Caleb already has a TV show in place after Big Brother. CBS showed a commercial for it during this episode. It's called Stalker and words such as "rejection," "jealousy," "hurt," frustration," "humiliation" flashed on the screen--all framed by a grey hoodie.

It sounds horrible but the only thing that surprised me was Rochelle having such a good-looking boyfriend. Not that I look much better, but she was a hot mess and her dopey smile and giggling annoyed me the entire time. I would have preferred a final two of Scott and Melanie. On the subject of Jason's character and attitude, I agree that he doesn't belong there.

Although I haven't seen them in a while, the Three Musketeer candy bar ads make my gutter mind snicker: "The more it's whipped, the bigger it gets." I always add an audible "That's what she said." Not sure if this fits in this thread but I find some of the side effects listed in ads for prescription a bit amusing. Chantix, which helps you quit smoking, can cause agitation, hostility, anxiety, anger and aggression. Which would all be immediately alleviated if you would just give them "a fucking cigarette, right NOW!!!

Macy's does show a woman of color, looking all joyful and carrying a bag in each hand. However, she is only pictured in the emails I get for electronic statements and the "thank you for making a payment." So, yeah, there is lots of room for improvement.

I keep seeing posts that say Donny spelled "splitters," but it was actually "splinters."

OMG, that was hysterical! I had no idea what the commercial was for up until the end. And, yes, my mother would have taken me out to the car right away if I had pulled that.

Amen, sister!

I know it's only been about three weeks -- and maybe my PTSD from all the seasons I've watched isn't being triggered due to the lack of overt hostility -- but it seems that at this point in previous seasons, at least a few people were really not getting along by now. Even though there's plenty of talking behind each others' backs and strategizing, there don't appear to be any demeaning comments, name-calling ("bitch") or "jokes" about defiling a houseguest's corpse. Maybe it's too soon and I'm just being naive.

Every single time I saw that Yoplait commercial, after she asks, "Babe, what are you doing?" I would answer back with, "Looking through OUR refrigerator, bitch!" As a female, I don't tend towards wishing grievous bodily harm to other women. However, a good smacking is also in order for another one that aired several years ago. It was for AM/PM, and a guy is sitting outside the store sucking down a cold drink. A car pulls up and his significant other steps out of it. She sees him and snottily says, "I thought you went for a jog," as if he just made that up as an excuse to go to the store. He meekly says, "I got hot," but she's still all pissy. First off, how do you know he wasn't just taking a break from jogging? Regardless, and more importantly, at least he didn't drive himself there like your lazy ass did.

It didn't appear that he gave Sid away, though. In the next episode, I think, he said there had been a bunch of outrage from fans so he showed that he still had Sid. Either it wasn't meant seriously that she was actually taking Sid with her or there are a couple of rabbit puppets.

I am now watching last night's BBAD and ended up rewinding the beginning about 10 minutes in to do Frankie's relaxation session along with the hamsters. I have a similar CD for sleep and am so conditioned that listening to Frankie brought the same relaxed state. Nice change from his normal high-strung behavior. However, I kept expecting BB's voice to tell them to please do something to entertain the viewers or to announce that there was alcohol in the pantry right NOW!
