  1. Yeah, ITA with all of this. Kale's mom is young, but also one of the least affected, least pretentious bachelorettes that I can remember. So far, the feeling I get from her is that she'd be acting no different, cameras or no, and that's refreshing on this circus show. Also I agree with her on the strong profiles and I don't not believe in aliens, so we're cool. Kale's not a first name I'd consider, but hey, you do you, girl. I was genuinely impressed when Chris pointed out the Hoover Dam in the helicopter. In normal world, not remarkable but in Bachelor world correctly identifying a national landmark gains you points in my book. As for the women, I think they usually are friendly with one another (post-show, there seem to be a lot more successful and long-lasting friendships among the contestants than any loveships) but they tend to play up-- especially with the Bachelorettes-- the rivalries and catfights. Don't get me wrong: I want to see the stupid fights, but I'm glad to have it balanced out with the stupid fun, too.
  2. I thought that two out of the three dates tonight seemed like a lot of fun (No to wearing a bikini whilst riding a tractor in LA, but hey, I'm funny that way.) Is it just me or did we see more goofy house stuff than we usually do (the twerking, the house-snooping), the stuff that usually is tacked on at the end? I hope that continues. Chris does seem to be kissing on a lot of girls earlier than some others, but I'm sort of over being grossed out by it. The conceit of the show is that he's dating 30 women. He's there, he's supposedly dating all these ladies, is he supposed to not kiss the women he's dating? Until it does start to get really gross, like Ben Flajnik gross. I guess what I'm saying is that The Bachelor has deflated, squashed, ground down my standards and expectations, and Ben Flajnik is my new low-bar. Truly, a brain trust such as this has never been assembled in the history of Bachelor Nation. I feel like even by the second episode at least a couple of contestants have distinguished themselves as having had a few fleeting intelligent thoughts. But this group? Should be a fun season! I really, really hope Ashley S. is putting on an act. Otherwise I'll feel terrible about enjoying her antics so much: stumbling into Chris's TH, hoping an angel gets the rose, wanting to paintball the other girls, walking calmly amongst the zombies. She reminds me so much of Cecily Strong's SNL WU character, "Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation with at a Party." "That's the tractor story?!" was all I could think about during that ridiculous date! Its important that Chris be supportive of any of the girls who might get gonorrhea from riding a tractor in her bikini. Hope there are no toe-thumbs in the bunch. Ok, I have been OBSESSED with the handwriting on the date cards for many, many seasons. It's always that same high-school-girlish block printing. Who writes it? Or is it some secret font? Why can't the lead just write it him or herself? I want answers! It sort of goes along with another pet Bachelor peeve of mine that Chris violated tonight: why pretend that you planned these elaborate dates as he told the 1-on-1 tonight that he had planned the (admittedly cool) Grand Canyon date. Just say "there's a really awesome day planned out for us. I'm really excited." Why the charade? Everybody knows that Chris didn't haul out his copy of 36 Hours USA & Canada so why insult anyone's intelligence (whatever that might be) pretending he did?
  3. This Buzzfeed article reminded me of a couple of things. First, I was disappointed that he ditched the Secret Admirer (was she also googly eyes?) so early on. I thought it was a cute callback to his gimmick, and that it should have earned her another week. And I had no idea that Karaoke Karly (Karlyoke?) was Zak's sister. I have automatic good will for her. I liked Zak and his hometown visit, and remember his family as being good-natured and earnest. Lol I think it mostly is the hooded eyes actually. I have enough incidental evidence for me to believe that I'm somewhere on that facial blindness scale, so it never surprises me when I fail at the celebrity lookalike game. Looking at ABC's websiste, I think Britt's probably in the upper ranks of this year's bachelorettes, but honestly they always look so much alike to me (again, the facial blindness) that it always takes me a few weeks to seperate them (bachelors and bachelorettes). I will never understand, however, when Ashlee Frazier is mentioned as one of the best looking bachelorettes because I'm unable to get past the fact that she is Teresa Giudice's forehead/hairline twin. So distracting. Ha! Bob so disgusted me (in personality more than looks, to be fair) that I was put off of the show until Jillian's season, I think. And, uch, Ben Flajnik was so bottom of the barrel in every conceivable way. And, then Jake... honestly there have been more duds than not, so I'm just waiting Prince Farming to rot. Not being a man, I don't follow men's fashion closely, but I do read TLo's website daily and skinny suits do seem to be on trend with the boystars. Now, it could be both a skinny suit and ill-fitting. You've made me curious and I'll be watching Chris S's wardrobe more closely from now on. I will say with confidence that that I am no fan of the pageant dresses that the women always wear to the cocktail parties.
  4. Thanks for reminding me of that sunflower line. Too funny! It probably sounded so profound in her head, too. Line of the night, for me, second only to Ashley's onion/pomegranate conundrum. That girl is a treasure. It's a French surname, roughly equivalent to Shoemaker according to the Ancestry.com's surname database (My computer search history is all surname origins and celebrity heights.) I think Chris is one of the best-looking bachelors to come down the pike in awhile, and noticed him pretty much immediately during Andi's first cocktail party. He reminds me sort of a poor man's Robert Mitchum. Not in Mitchum's league by any stretch, but even a single-A Mitchum is pretty damn good in my book. Anyway, to each his or her own. :)
  5. I died! "Look at that onion. LOOK AT IT!" "It's blooming!" "If that's a pomegranate, then bless its heart." I mean, what? I'm glad Chris kept the party girls for entertainment value, if nothing else. On the one hand, three hours is entirely too long for this show; The Godfather lasts roughly as long as it took The Bachelor to introduce the season. On the other hand, I haven't kept up with the contestants post-show, so it was nice to learn Des and Chris/Marcus and Lacey are nearly married and the other updates. And I enjoyed the producers' mind game of splitting the b'ettes into two separate groups. Watching them critique the entrances of the second group was sort of fascinating to me. And it seemed like they got superior and possesive of Chris right quick just for having the luck being shoved into the first few limos. Finally, I still really like (Bachelor) Chris, probably my favorite bach in a long time. From the looks of the previews, I'll regret that by the end of the season, which is how it should be, I suppose.
  6. It was Dylan, one of Andi's final five or six. He did what Graham can't or won't, peacing out on Elise and her loopiness.
  7. I noticed this too! I think he's trying to blink "please send help" in Morse code. Guy's getting squirrely from being smothered by AshLee and her particular crazy. I never understood Brooks's appeal on Des's season, but I actually was disappointed to see him go tonight. Relative to a lot of the other bachelors anyway, he does seem pretty okay, straightforward, and fun without being desperate for attention. I kind of loved Michelle, Lacy, and Christy descending upon Jesse's departing SUV, brimming with righteous fury on behalf of womankind, to read the riot act a guy who couldn't be bothered to remember names, and as if it would even prick the his alcohol-sodden brain . Ladies, save your time; his gmail is full up with evites to mixers, formals, clambakes, trips to the Cape. Y'know, whatnot. (And, just as a side note, this is my first post since twop and I wouldn't have be anywhere but a Bachelor topic. Hi everybody! Here's to the right reasons, the wrong reasons, and an amazing journey.)
