I'm really loving the Bachelor this season ... finally! It was awful having Krystal passing through again and again, but I suppose the producers whispered in Arie's ears to keep her around a little longer for the drama. For me though she didn't even make good television. Really happy Jacqueline and Becca made it through, and all the remaining girls are the best of the lot I think. Little Bekah won't last long, and it looked like Lauren was sealing her own death warrant with that little talk to some staffer at the end of the show. Those are the next two to go in my opinion.

I believe the producers have told Arie to keep Bibiana around. No other explanation how she survived two weeks. She is physically unattractive, unintelligent, and foul mouthed to boot. A real discredit to the show.

So Week 2 is in the books and Arie's bewildering choices continue. I'm amazed that some of the original 29 were chosen by the producers in the first place. There must be thousands of beautiful women across the country that want to be part of the show. That said, there were about 10 of the 29 that were great choices in Week 1 and Arie should have only been zeroing in on them. Instead, he rejected four of them last week, and this week he rejected two more: Jenny and Valerie. And the guy keeps Bibiana, Brittany and Ashley? Okaaayyyy ... maybe you should get your eyes examined! His first date of the week with Becca was a great choice, but the second date with Krystal was stunningly misguided. What's this about going to see the parents on the second week? The Bachelor isn't supposed to do that until the end .. after he's whittled everybody down to a final 3 or 4. The whole visit was very awkward, since he barely knew Krystal and she didn't fit into the family vibe whatsoever. She smiles too much, her upper body looks too much like a linebacker, and she's obviously had some facial enhancements. She's going to be doubly devastated when Arie lets her go down the road (inevitably he will).

So here we go again with the Bachelor’s picks after just a few hours of socializing on the first night. And as usual, it is astounding to see the lovelies Arie sends home, versus the fuglies he gives a rose to. I already knew the guy was pretty shallow, judging from his performance 5 years ago. He seems to fall for the shallow manipulative blondes who don’t really care about him (Emily Maynard). So what does Arie do? Gives the first impression rose to the same kind of blonde (Chelsea). Not only is she very average looking with below average intelligence, she is the only one I can remember who pushed her way into two meetings with the Bachelor on the first night. Then he sends home the sexy sports reporter Bri; the highly accomplished, drop dead gorgeous orthopedic nurse Nysha; the hot TV personality Jessica, who has loads of character and charm, and also a sympathetic story about her dead father meeting Arie; and most amazing of all, the hottest one in the room Lauren J. I guess having a Masters dooms you to rejection (Arie, did you even get your high school diploma?). So in exchange for sending those four home, he better have a darn good reason for the four he kept, right? Not!!! Fuglies Brittany, Bibiana, Jenna and Lauren G. get to stay for another day. What an idiot, what a complete fool this guy is.
