Funny you should mention Bob Guiney, Padma. I took a peek at Whitney's twitter and there's the Blob himself standing next to her at the Kentucky Derby!

Popping in to say that while I genuinely like Erin, she made me cringe hard last night after the Noah/Robert dance-off. As the group was trying to squeeze into the camera frame to get their scores Erin says,"come hug me hold me" while standing on Noah's left side. Really unfortunate choice of words.

Wish someone had done a waltz to "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty this week.

Saber, I actually found the article by just googling Ashley S. Reality Steve's website is scary. I visited once years ago, promptly picked up a virus and haven't been back since. I rely on you fine folks to relay his spoilers, so thanks for sharing the big secret from November, leighdear. He held back to avoid extra emails? Yawn.

http://www.thewareaglereader.com/2015/03/back-to-reality-auburn-grad-ashley-salter-reflects-on-bachelor-stardom-boredom/#.VQCn3XEtHmJ Ashley S article from her college newspaper. There's lots of "there" there behind those eyes! I so was glad to see her Monday night. Waiting to see what she'd do next is what kept me from leaving the room during the big finale/ATFR.

I wondered the same thing, Artsda, which to me made the proposal less romantic and more: let me get this on her finger so I don't have to keep track of it anymore!

Finally saw the season finale...so is the big cliffhanger: "whatever will Harvey do without Donna and how will he win her back?" or "how much fun are Louis and Donna going to have together?" I'm just so glad it's not Mike-centric.

I love homegrown Creole tomatoes* right off the vine (rinsed and salted, of course) or on Wonder bread with Hellmann's. Yum! But since that's a summertime pleasure, during the rest of the year I actually eat the same lunch every day I'm at home: ham on rye with lettuce, tomato and mayo! And for dinner, I could eat seafood every single night for the rest of my life: shrimp, oysters, crawfish and fish fixed any way you can think of...fried, sauteed, baked, grilled, smoked, stewed, in etouffee or gumbo, over pasta or rice...just as long as it's cooked (otherwise it's bait) and there aren't any lima beans hidden anywhere ;) *Just planted a new crop and am crossing my fingers for my plants - why is it 40 degrees in March?!!

violetr said: Bet Chris is way over Britt too, especially after he took a gander at the handprints on back of his suit.

Totally forgot to mention that when Chris was attempting to explain himself to Jade, I could see the tiny wheels turning in his head...durn blog ghostwriter!

After the enthusiastic welcome Chris received at each of the watching parties, it seemed he expected the Women Tell All taping would be a similar experience. Kinda forgot all his cast-offs would be there for a second. It was pretty lol-worthy. Ashley S is so very pretty and her act is golden. Not sure TPTB truly want her on Bachelor in Paradise though. She'd be way too honest about the sub-standard accommodations and probably wander off into the jungle - or on over to the crew's much more luxurious digs. That I'd watch!

Blueberry Cobbler Coffeemate Nabisco Oatmeal cookies Ben & Jerry's Coconut Cream Pie Ice cream *sniff* ...and one more: Pasta Roni Tomato Parmesan!

Ugh! Doesn't this law firm ever do anything lawfully or "win" any cases outright? It's exhausting watching one screw up after another.* Forget suspense - give me some expertise, or I'm out. *It's the same reason I stopped watching Covert Affairs - Annie never seemed to be able to do anything right.

I figured Leeza had it as soon as it was announced there would be a tribute to Joan, the only woman Celebrity Apprentice so far. I don't think Trump would have bothered with a tribute otherwise. He's a pretty big blowhard, but not such a cold fish that he'd crown another female winner without acknowledging his friend. Loved Johnny Damon quoting stats! Totally laughed out loud at Leeza using said numbers to coldly deflate Geraldo's big ol' ego after he'd described her as "highly functioning."

I so agree that Chris' cast of women, while pretty, sure contain a ton of odd ducks. Whitney's response to that goofy mural (which would be forever-ever, on a building in town how many miles away from Arlington?) seemed positively demented to me. If I were in that crowd watching the unveiling, I'd have pulled Chris aside and said, run. Love Carly. Sometime after her 1on1, she transitioned into kooky narrator / pot stirrer a la Michelle Money. Isn't she the girl who tipped us off (and confirmed MM's opening night dig) about the fact that Britt doesn't shower? Then a hand puppet? The picture of Jesus on the wall in Arlington's Methodist church is the same one as her grandparents have, so that confirms that she and Chris are meant to be? Being chosen to hear Jade's confession? All golden moments. Me thinks she'll be the next Bachelorette. She could be "successful" if Fleiss would cast to her strengths, but he won't. Or why doesn't Fleiss just give Michelle Money her own season? She's sure done the time on every other iteration of Bachelor show. 'Course they'd need to recruit some fellas eligible for that OurTime website...

Or, cooksdelight, both finalist's commercials were so abysmal (Disney slogan ripoff vs Child predator in charge) that Universal hired an actual ad agency/marketing company to film a third spot and went with it instead.

Poor Katsuji looked devastated that he wasn't chosen to be one of Gregory's sous in the finale. To add salt to his wound, Gregory went the all-Mexican inspired flavors route. That said, I was happy that Doug was picked - it was as "duh" a moment as Mei choosing Melissa though, really. Add me to the queue of folks who despise Blais - it's like he has a sour face much of the time because - the horror! - other chef's food is being praised.

Vivica didn't stand a chance at the finals after her boardroom fight with Kenya. Too bad she stooped to Kenya's level. I think her word choice during their altercation doomed her. Trump thinks he's all class (insert eye roll here) and Vivica's response to Kenya - while justified - was tacky.

Floored me that at one point Geraldo admitted that if his team lost again, he should be fired. Mr. Ego had to have been tipped off to their win. .

Yep, cooksdelight, I agree. And I'll never understand the "plate all the food on one the side of the plate" trend. It's goofy. Makes me think the server tripped on the way to the table and just barely pulled off a save.

Andromeda, we're forgetting that there are adults that marry/honeymoon at Disney World and brides who use Cinderella's carriage to arrive at said weddings, probably wearing glass slippers. Perhaps bookings are down for the Cinderella suite - aren't they raising rates again? - so DisneyABC is trying to drum up business with the movie.

Why were Michelle and Helen shrieking about the words Project Runway AllStars appearing in Times Square (or wherever)? I could understand the histrionics if their designs were being featured, but no...and a tourist behind them, while partially blurred, totally agrees

Chris and Whitney are a high-pitched match made in heaven - his odd laugh and her strange voice are driving me insane.

I agree, MsPH. Sorta gives new connotation to Chris' astonished exclamations of "what?" and "wow!" as the women exited the limo, doesn't it?

of course, non-famehungry folks just, like, you know, date instead!
