Kasey Kahl (Ali's Season) Subtitles?
Jake Pavelka.... I HATE JAKE!
Justin Rego (Ali's Season) Rated R...Rated NO!
Michael Stagliano (Jillian's Season) Why?
But wait....there's more! Three Mystery Men from Ashley's season will be joining in as they are sent away without a rose! I've read that Bentley is NOT one of them. A shame really because I think The Bachelor Pad would be the perfect place for him. If you watched The Bachelorette...you know that the reason Bentley will NOT be on is because he will be back to torment Ashley. WHY?
Damn you Brad Womack! Three minutes into the show and you made me cry! I loved that he was so touched to see his family and that his emotions came out full force.
In my house....we were on two different teams. iKeith liked Chantal from show one and I just had a hunch that Brad was going to pick Emily. I picked Emily because I like to win...not because I wanted her to be with Brad.
I really think Chantal would have fit into his family and Brad seemed to fit into her family. I believe Chantal would have re-located in a heartbeat and would have moved heaven and earth to make things work. I don't think she'd have let a month go by without seeing him.
I think Brad is much more in love with Emily than Emily is in love with Brad.
I don't know Emily and I get the feeling we didn't get to know the REAL Emily on The Bachelor at all....perhaps the reality of leaving her daughter's extended family and starting a new life might be too much for her. She doesn't strike me as a risk taker.
Do you remember if Brad ever asked HER if she'd be willing to move to Austin? I honestly can't remember it coming up. To me...it's assumed that you'll move. I don't know why anyone would go on this show if they didn't plan on moving to the Bachelor's home town. I hope the winner of Ashley H's season is willing to move to Maine.
I really hope that Brad and Emily work out....but I don't have a good feeling about it.
"You're so much more to me than a leap of faith. You're the one. You're my once in a lifetime. I'm asking you to give me your forever. Please let me be your best friend, let me protect you and your beautiful daughter and please give me the opportunity to love you for the rest of your life,"
I don't have a lot to say about the women tell all show. I missed a big chunk of it because of family drama which I hope to god can finally be over now. Some of you know what I'm referring to.
I have more drama in my life than an episode of The Bachelor! It includes someone that drinks too much, someone that hates me and someone that's telling vicious lies about me. My husband who has played the role of Chris Harrison...has finally agreed that these relationships are toxic and harmful to me, our children and him.
Of all of the things this guy has hope for...he picked the hopeless!
Okay...back to the show!
It seemed like a lot of the girls were picking on Michelle and maybe she deserved some of it but you also have to remember that she's on a reality show! I think the producers find the controversial person in the group and encourage them to make remarks. She was good at it because of her brand of humor and that's good TV people.
Now...the girl (i think her name was Stacy) that was criticizing her parenting. Was completely out of line. It is unacceptable, rude and uncalled for to judge anyone's parenting unless you are directly involved (you are the CHILD) or a parent yourself. And even then...unless she knows Michelle and her daughter personally (which Stacy doesn't) then she should shut the hell up.
Wow...I might not have just been talking to Stacy there.
I loved seeing Brad look so relaxed talking to the girls and about who he has picked. She's changed his life. I'll be happy with either outcome and I actually have no idea who he's going to go with.
The outtakes from the show were hilarious!! I laughed so hard at the naked guy on the beach! Can you imagine? I wonder where they were when that was filmed?
So who do you think Brad will pick? Chantal or Emily?
Wow. I think I want to go on a trip to South Africa. It looks beautiful and laid back and I only saw a couple bugs.
Poor Brad, he's terrified of ending up alone and things with the ladies are out of control! The good news is that he's convinced that one of these women is going to be his wife.
Chantal:
Brad takes Chantal on a safari and he tells her how much he misses her family mom. They are sitting in the truck looking at the bush and come across a nest of lions who are getting angry because Chantal can't shut the hell up.
They walk down to the water for a picnic and a man with a gun has to accompany them. Chantal tells Brad that Love is more than a feeling. I think she might be hooked on a feeling....
They have dinner and the fantasy suite card comes out. After agreeing to spending the night as a in harmony couple, Brad leads her into the bush to a tree house and says Ta Da! I see several problems with this set up that mean I would have rejected this *fantasy*. Where is the bathroom, where is the guy with the gun and what about the bugs.
Emily:
Brad leads Emily into the bush and then says...oh wait, I forgot something and leaves her alone to be eaten by wild animals. He comes back riding an elephant and she hops on board exclaiming Goodness Gracious! and that this is her dream come true!
Brad says that she's one in a million and that he lights up when he sees her. They make out while watching baby elephants play in the water.
At dinner, Brad is visibly nervous and drinks a bunch of wine. The fantasy suite card comes out and Emily starts to play innocent and is all...I'm a Mom and I have to set a good example for Little Ricki but ultimately she follows her loins and accepts.
They do not go to a tree house but to a very nice room. She tells him that she's falling in love with him and he breaks the rules (again) and tells her that he is too.
Ashley:
Brad leads Ashley out into the bush to a waiting helicopter and Ashley loses her shit because she is afraid of heights. Brad calms her down and they visit a place that is very beautiful, it's called God's Eyeball or something like that. I'm sorry...that's not what it's called. I hate Ashley and I wasn't paying attention.
They have a picnic and Brad asks her where she wants to live. She talks about southern Maine and being near her sister. She never mentions Austin Texas and you can see that this is upsetting Brad. Hello Ashley...do you remember what show you are on?
Ashley explains that she is very driven and her Dentistry career is very important to her. She has NOT read the Ali Fedotowsky dating handbook. Dinner is going really badly....Brad admits that he's attracted to her and her energy but that their lives don't mesh. He also refers to her as one in a million which is weird because EMILY is supposed to be one in a million.
She excepts the fantasuite card that I don't think should have been offered to her in the first place and they go on to have a very uncomfortable evening of uneasy silence.
Rose Ceremony:
Brad stands before the three ladies and asks Ashley to please come talk with him. He explains that they have bad miscommunication and that when he asked the tough questions he didn't really get answers. Ashley says that she's bad at expressing herself. I beg to differ. I think Ashley is an idiot and knew exactly what he was asking her. She gave the answer....I'M NOT MOVING TO AUSTIN. Hell! She didn't even do her hair for the rose ceremony. Brad walks her to the curb. Note: rumor is that she is going to be the NEXT Bachelorette. I dislike this broad more than I disliked Jake. I will not watch if she is the Bachelorette. ABC...did you hear me?
Can I just say...all of these daisy duke shorts in the bush...doesn't seem appropriate. There is this thing called SAFARI WEAR and it includes long pants.
Chantal and Emily get roses and in two weeks they go to Capetown and meet HIS family!
Next Week: The Women Tell All
**************
Did you watch my favorite show last night? If you missed it...it's on BRAVO for your viewing pleasure.
Bethenny Ever After:
I love Bethenny. I was so thrilled when Bethenny found Jason and they got married and had a baby. I feel like me and Bethenny could be friends. I love her honest and ability to say what she thinks. And she's damn funny!
I watched the premiere today and I have to say that I'm now in love with her Mother in Law too. It's like iKeith and Jason are brothers. The only son (kind of) with parents that he's close to and an umbilical cord that needs to be cut. I can also relate to Bethenny and her crazy background. We're like freakin twins!
I went through all of this...needing to be our own family and not share every single moment with his parents. Arguing about how much time we spent with them and hurting people's feelings. I'm used to being the bad guy.
Also...like Jason, iKeith professes his love for me when he's tipsy drunk too. And like Bethenny...I need therapy.
This is usually one of my favorite weeks of The Bachelor. I love seeing the hometown dates and where these girls come from.
I hated this episode. I hated it so much that I'm having trouble writing about it.
Chantal lives in Seattle and of all of the dates...I thought this one was the most successful. They got along great, her dog loved him, her parents liked him and her dad gave Brad his blessing to marry Chantal. The whole thing seemed very natural.
Ashley's family lives in Madawaska Maine and it's a remote and isolating place. Her family was a little too....excited and it made me tired and I found them irritating. Brad seemed to like them. Ashley hasn't expressed any love for Brad and he's worried that he might be holding her back by asking her to move to Austin.
Shawntel lives and works in Chico California. Her Dad didn't hesitate to make it known that Shawntel is supposed to be taking over the funeral home from him...like tomorrow. He also laid a major guilt trip on her by reminding her that her old high school teacher's son died while she was galavanting around the country and she had really needed Shawntel. In fact, the entire community is counting on her to bury all of their family members and this is much more important than Shawntel's happiness. Her dad is an asshole. She also had Brad lay on an embaling table and explained the process AGAIN! Kiss of death.
Emily likes in Charlotte NC with her daughter Little Ricki. I'm pretty sure that it says that on her birth certificate. Mr. Brad worked really hard to get Little Ricki to like him and she did warm up to him....she even drew him a picture. Shame on ABC for making us think that Little Ricki was a spoiled brat that ran to her room in anger. Brad made Mac and Cheese but then refused to kiss Emily because little Ricki was upstairs sleeping. This chivalry was a little monotonous for me. Emily made him kiss her before he left and he described her as PERFECT.
Say goodbye to Shawntel......she and Brad are not a great fit since she really can't leave the state of California. And she smells like embalming fluid.
This week Brad takes the ladies to the beautiful island of Anguilla!
Dear ABC....I'm over the helicopter dates and to be honest with you, I hate group dates too. Just show more of the girls fighting in the house. If someone isn't talking in the limo...I don't need to see them curl into a ball and stare catatonically into the camera. Dates with ladies that have kids should involve watching Disney movies 10 times in a row and holding sticky suckers for 30 minutes.
Dear Emily...no offense...but I wouldn't bring you on a deserted island with me. You're cute and stuff but something tells me that you'd be no help building shelters and unlocking the hatch. Also, Brad doesn't plan these dates or schedule the helicopters. ABC does it. I don't blame you for holding off on Brad meeting your daughter but if you want to win Brad to pick you...you're going to have to. Aren't you the lucky one...Brad's breaking the rules for you!
Dear Shawntel....I love that your perfect date involves bike riding to a farmers market and then drinking wine while sitting in baby goat poop! I guess this makes sense since you talk about embalming people while watching fireworks. Your date seemed the least forced and most real. Could have been the lack of helicopter.
Dear Ashley...WOW...you looked amazing in the photo shoot even though they had to cover your lack of boobs with seashells. Your whininess is really wearing on me. If you don't stop...I'm going to have to let you go. Oh wait....
Dear Chantal...does ABC provide a free buffet or something? Your swimsuit is looking a little tight! Maybe Britt can cook for you. Please for the love of god! Stop telling Brad to send you home! STOP!! And stop crying. I'm getting drunk with my little drinking game because of all of your crying.
Dear Brad...You are in a really tough place. To be honest with you? I don't know why people do this show. It's pure torture! I think you handled things well and are showing some real maturity.
Dear Britt....look out for Michelle...she wants to sink your yacht! Your date wasn't as romantic as it could have been. Jumping to your death from a rock is not very sexy and when you plug your nose as you fall into the water....you just look like a 5 year old. Speaking of 5 year olds...eat much? I'm having trouble believing that you're a chef/food writer because it looks like you haven't eaten in years. Sorry things didn't work out and you had to ride in the dingy of shame.*
Dear Michelle....you are so rude! Of course Brad and Britt will friend each other on Facebook!. That's what FB is for...old friends, people you dated and co-workers. REAL friends are on twitter. DUH! I know exactly why you didn't remove your top. You have the veiny boobs of a MOM! You didn't want Brad to see them and be grossed out. I knew that you where going home when Brad described you as volatile and didn't ask if he could meet your daughter. Also, you don't act like a Mom...so he likely forgot you had a kid by now. P.S. You scare the heck out of me!
Dear ABC... Why oh why...did Chantal get a one on one date already when Britt hasn't had one yet? Also...a note for next time. Tall girls need tall horses.
Dear Chantal O.....I'm not sure how you got so lucky getting another date...but good for you! You handled the zipline really well. You got pretty lucky with the rain. I just have one question. Did you request the white button down or did Brad just decide that would fit you? Based on Brad (and iKeith's) reaction...I will only be wearing white button down shirts in the evening. Look out for a gang of monkeys. P.S. Pebbles called and she wants her dress back.
Dear Britt....again....where were you this week. I'm bummed you didn't get a date.
Dear Michelle....I think it's time to get your eyes checked. You're having trouble seeing anyone else but yourself with Brad...but that seems kind of short-sighted since you're driving the man crazy and I'm sure he can't see himself with you. You're time is better spent braiding everyone's hair and training monkeys. P.S. You are such a liar!! And to answer your question. Yes. You are crazy.
Dear Emily...I'd advice you to find better hiding places in the lodge where you are staying. Michelle will complain to whomever she can find. It seems like all of this time on your hands is giving you time to think about your future and I'm happy to see that you're learning from your mistakes. See if ABC will let you use Brad's therapist.
Dear Shawntel...Your silent game was cute and a nice way to distract Brad from his troubles. Thanks for being normal.
Dear Ashley...it was nice to see that you learned your lesson from last week and decided to be mute this week. Nice job.
Dear Alli...your bug aversion is a little dramatic. You should have sucked it up and acted like a tough girl. It's pretty obvious that Brad wants a girl that can hang....or he wouldn't have brought you all to the jungle. Your dinner date on the sand bar...was sinking. Literally and figuratively. Good Luck!
Dear Jackie...toughen up woman! Sorry Brad didn't keep you...but he needs an adventurous woman that doesn't make him feel guilty. Good Luck! Dear Brad...It kind of seemed like you were trying to get out of ziplinning because of a little rain. WHA! It was kind of cute how worked up you got when you saw Chantal in your shirt. What were you smoking when you made a pact to NEVER repel without Michelle. I don't think I've ever seen a man bring candles on a date.
This week the ladies and Brad packed up and moved the show to Las Vegas...to the Aria hotel which I've never heard of. I love how The Bachelor ends up being a 2 hour commercial for a location. Here is the Sky Villa that the ladies stayed in. It's pretty amazing!
Dear ABC....please don't have a clue for a date like Let's End Tonight With A Bang...and then give it away during the commercial with a teaser showing fireworks. I really wanted to believe that Michelle was going to walk in on the date with a gun and shoot Shawntel. Also, shame on you for putting Emily through that racetrack date and making Brad feel like an asshole. The viewers...don't like recycled dates. Please wait at least a couple season before having a broadway musical date. Ashley against Ashley was just mean. Their bond is likely broken now. Also..if I'd had tickets to this show and then found out it was Cirque Du Ashley...I'd have been pissed!
Dear Shawtel...Some of the items you picked out on your shopping spree...we're ugly. I did love how you rubbed your shopping spree in everyone's face when you went back to get ready for dinner. Good on you for making Michelle want to kill herself. I figure you've at least been on a few dates in your life because you are kind of cute so I can't figure out how explaining the embalming process to your date while you ate your dinner is ever a good idea.
Dear Michelle...you scare the heck out of me and if we were friends I'd keep my doors locked. You are so aggressive with Brad that I think he's scared to send you home. Yes, please hang yourself with your scarf.
Dear Alli....There are still a few episodes left. You still have a chance to go on a date with Brad. Calm down and stop crying.
Dear Chantal O....RELAX. Remember the other day when Brad said he likes that you aren't needy? Stop being needy! This IS the Emily show...by the way, so get used to it.
Dear Emily...You are smart and beautiful. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THIS SHOW??? Did someone bet you to do it? Do you need the money? Do you want to be an actress when you grow up? I feel really badly that you had to endur the race track date but I think you handled it so well. And maybe you got some closure.
Dear Ashley H....Ever since last week when you made a spectacle of yourself on the group date...you don't seem attractive to me anymore. You irritate me.
Dear Britt...where were you this week. I missed you!
Dear Jackie...I thought you were going home this week. You and Britt must have been at the spa together all week.
Dear Brad...My favorite thing that came out of your mouth during this episode was Put It On The Counter! I would have preferred Let's Get It, or Charge it to ABC but it was still great! Also, purple is not your color honey. I'm impressed that you find funeral directors hot but your nervous laughter was too much for me. I was happy with how you handled the race track date and I'm sorry that ABC didn't disclose important info about Emily. I thought you looked HOT in the soldier outfit at the Viva Elvis show...nice package.
To The departed:
Dear Ashley S...I think part of your problem is that you talk like a baby. It might be because you are a Nanny but men don't want to be Nannied. I believe you will make an extraordinary wife someday. Good Luck.
Dear Marissa...thinking you might have been a filler on this show. Good Luck.
Dear Lisa...I don't remember ever hearing you speak. Good Luck.
Each week we start off with the girls all sitting in the living room of the bachelorette house and Chris Harrison explaining what's going to happen that week. Most of them don't have make up on and look like heck. This week...Michelle is sporting a black eye and says she doesn't know how she got it. We will learn later that even Michelle doesn't like Michelle and she kicked her own ass in her sleep.
The first one on one date of the week goes to Chantal O. Brad shows up and so does a helicopter. Chantal is wearing a threadbare blue t-shirt and jeans. She didn't bring a purse or anything. Where is her lipstick? Later when they arrive on Catalina Island a leather jacket materializes out of nowhere.
Chantal thinks everything is amazing and Brad says he's been waiting to take her on a date for so long. What...like 3 weeks? They put on wet suits and helmets (so as not to disturb Chantal's eye make up) and walk on the sea floor. Later...they have dinner on the beach and Chantal says that she's scared because she was married before and really wants to be married again. They really like each other.
Back at the house, Michelle is moaning and groaning about not getting the one on one date and how she doesn't understand how this show works because everyone keeps going out with her boyfriend. She also doesn't think Chantal is Brad's type.
Chantal apologizes to Brad for slapping him when she came out of the limo that first night and he tells her he likes feisty ladies and he feels comfortable with her. She gets the rose. Then he tells her to stop talking and kiss him!
Group Date!
A hummer limo picks up the ladies and takes them to the radio show Love Line. Brad wants to provide a safe place for the girls to open up and share their feelings. So...the get liquored up with cocktails (Ashley H drinks beer) and they talk with Mike and Dr Drew. Stacey admits that she's cheated before and everyone gives her the evil eye. Britt tells Brad that she's nervous all the time because she only gets 10-15 minutes with him at a time.
Back at the house, Michelle is crying and complaining about how she doesn't understand how the bachelor show works. Emily was in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets stuck talking to her. The date card finally arrives and it's for the long suffering Michelle. It says...Let's Hang Out Together and Chantal points out that her card doesn't say anything about LOVE and all of the other one's have. Michelle freaks out!
Brad brings the girls to an after party at his house and Ashley H gets irritated right away because the girls what to talk to Brad. Does she not understand why everyone is sitting in this hot tub? Everyone is interrupting each other's time and Ashley H is about to freak out! She stalks Brad while he's making out with Britt and he then tries to make her feel better but she says that she's retracting and drops a couple F bombs.
Brad goes to give Ashley H the rose so that she'll feel more secure but she makes some negative comments and unfortunate ugly faces and he gives the rose to Britt instead. YAY!
Hanging Out....
Michelle is really excited about her date and thinks that because it's her day...everyone should stop talking about her boyfriend Brad. When Brad arrives he pulls Ashley H aside which sends Michelle into a rage. Brad tells Ashley H that they had a great first date and that he doesn't want to lose what they had. She says that she pushes people away and it looks like she desperately needs a manicure.
Chantal confronts Michelle and says this is the same has when she walked out of the commercial shoot and there a hissy fit. Michelle says that it's not at all the same because she was having a moral issue. Michelle has morals?
Brad takes Michelle to his house and they are hanging out together drinking mimosa's when they see a helicopter and it lands to pick them up. It flies them to Downtown LA and of course, Michelle is freaking out. She's afraid of heights and we discover that ABC expects her to repel off from the very tall building to a pool below.
After much complaining....she does it and they kiss midway down. GAG. When they reach the bottom...they dive into the pool with their clothes on because they both crapped their pants and their embarrassed.
Brad calls Michelle a mature woman (seriously?)and says that he wants to meet her daughter. He gives her the rose.
Weekly Therapy
Brad tells his therapist that he feels more present and he normally takes things really slowly but he has to keep kissing everyone and having these deep conversations in short amounts of time.
Cocktail Party
Shawntel is wearing a beautiful green dress and she feels secure. Brad likes this about her. He tells Megan that he likes that she doesn't have to draw attention to herself.
Brad asks Emily to come with him and says he has a gift for her. He pulls out a basket with pillows, blanket, wine and glasses and leads her outside. He tries to recreate their date together and tells her that he's been thinking about her.
Inside...everyone is freaking out because he did this special thing for Emily which must mean he likes her best. Chantal is crying and having a melt down. The girls that haven't even had a one on one date are feeling hurt that he's spending time with her when he already had a date with Emily.
*NEW DRINKING WORD* Suck
Chantal pulls Brad aside and tells him that she wants him to make her feel comfortable. He tells her that he likes that she's independent and not needy. Chantal asks the producers to please delete the last 15 minutes of tape.
Rose Ceremony
3 ladies go home.
Lindsay....she didn't really get much time with Brad.
Meghan...bet you're wishing you'd drawn some attention to yourself now. That dress...horrid! And if you can't walk in heels...you shouldn't wear them. just sayin.
Stacey...who was this? Her skirt is dangerously short.
This wrap up The Bachelor is going to be shorter and without pictures because I have a huge day ahead of me. Alex is having problems seeing so we're taking him to the eye doctor and I have to register him for Kindergarten at our neighborhood school just in case we don't get a spot at one of the three we've applied to.
I want to apologize for the drinking game I created yesterday. I had no idea that this 3rd episode of The Bachelor: My Daddy's Worse Than Your Daddy was going to be so depressing. And just so you know....ABC....I'm on to you. I know exactly why you cast these particular ladies and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
You selected a group of women that have Daddy issues. Some have lost their Dad's, never known their Dad's, lost their baby Daddy or are in love with their Daddy. You are trying to distract us from the fact that Brad has problems of his own by burdening us with these sad stories.
Shame on you ABC.
SEALed With a Kiss
So...Ashley S got the first one on one date and Brad took her on the worst date ever. He took her to a recording studio to record the Seal song A Kiss From A Rose and these two have no business singing anywhere but the shower. In fact, Ashley told us that she is so bad that she doesn't even sing IN the shower. They are horrible and then they go into another room where THE real Seal is singing that song and he does a much better job.
Ashley tells Brad that her Dad died two years ago from a brain aneurysm and that A Kiss From A Rose was their favorite song and it's like her Dad is here and wants her to get the rose. Brad seems uncomfortable but gives her the rose anyway and thanks her for opening up.
Action/Adventure
The group date is another weird date that you'd never go on in real life and consists of going to a studio to film an action/adventure movie. There are explosions and fight scenes. It's almost like still being at the Bachelorette mansion. Michelle is jealous and gets irritated every time someone does their scene with Brad. Shawntel does a great job and should leave the show immediately and get an agent.
Brad has some alone time with Chantal O who tells him that her Dad died before she could reconcile with him when she was a teen. She cries and he pats her leg. When will he learn to stop asking these gals about their families!
Michelle keeps breaking into the ladies alone time with Brad like a stalker. Brad finally kisses her and she claims him as hers.
Brad goes to get the rose and ABC tricked me and made it look like he was giving the rose to Michelle but it was Shawntel instead. Well played ABC.
Winery Tour
Emily told the remaining girls at the house about her story and made everyone except Jackie cry. She knows she needs to tell Brad but she doesn't want to be a hot mess...she wants to look cute for her date.
Emily picks a super short romper thing for her date and is whisked away to a private jet that drops them off in wine country. They drive a yellow MGTD (iKeith knew what this car was) and they drive to a vineyard. Brad asks her questions and she gives vague answers. Emily finally tells her story and he likes her more. He gives her the rose because he really, really likes her.
I really think that ABC needs to assign a therapist to every bachelor/bachelorette. This has to be the most bizarre experience and I think they need professional help to get through it! Brad meets with his therapist who helps him figure out that he needs to make these ladies feel comfortable so they will open up to him.
Great advice!
Cocktail Party
Michelle is confident that she is getting a rose and we find out that three woman will be going home. Alli is wrapped like a present but the present looks like a baby. We find out that her Daddy cheated on her Mom and had a baby with another woman. Brad says he's never cheated. Good to know!
Michelle tells Brad that they are in their first fight because he kissed her and then kissed tow other ladies. She doesn't want him to talk to anyone else and just hang out with her under a blanket. I don't think Michelle understands how this show works. Would a producer PLEASE explain it to her. Thanks.
Madison takes her fangs out and confides to Brad that she's not sure she should be there anymore when someone else probably likes him more than she does. He tells her not to accept a rose if she doesn't want it.
Ashley H. is sitting alone acting all mopey and Brad tells her he cares about her and wants to get to know her. Kisses her on the cheek and walks away....then comes back and gives her a proper kiss! Nice Brad!
Rose Ceremony
Madison walks out in the middle of the ceremony and tells Brad she wants to go home. He lets her go...we see side boob.
Sarah (from Denver) and Kimberly do not get roses. Sarah really needs some waterproof mascara. Kimberly thinks that she intimidated Brad because she is so awesome.
Next week: Brad takes the girls to see Dr. Drew and there is violence!
After last night's episode (#2) of The Bachelor: Brad is a New Man...I feel like I've been put through the ringer. There was high drama almost from the first minute!
Ashley H, who is a dentist from Philly got the first date card and it told her that the road to love is a wild ride. Brad then picked her up and drove her down a scary dark wooded road, made her walk on a dirt path in high heels until they reached a clearing with a carnival set up because ABC couldn't afford to shut one down for the night.
They had a great time running from ride to ride and drinking wine with cotton candy (YUCK). We discover that she doesn't know who her Daddy is and Brad struggles to tell her about his. They bond over their Daddy issues and he gives her the rose because he really likes her.
GROUP DATE!!
15 (is this a record ABC?) of the ladies are chomping at the bit to get a piece of Brad's time when they film Public Service Announcements for The American Red Cross. They are all given costumes and scripts. Brad is given fake chest hair and a mustache which makes him look ridiculous. Fang girl is a dominatrix....and I have to say using her for a PSA for giving blood was brilliant!
By the way, it was Michelle's 30th birthday and she was all cranky pants because she had to spend her 30th birthday with 14 other girls who were all kissing her boyfriend and it was really pissing her off because it was her 30th birthday. Did I mention it was her freakin birthday? GOSH!
They all head to The Roosevelt Hotel for an after party and Brad announces that it's going to be DRAMA FREE but Raichel and Melissa must have been in the bathroom because they didn't get the message. These two start arguing and I'm not sure why except that Raichel doesn't believe anything that comes out of Melissa's mouth.
Drunk Birthday Michelle gets the rose and then does a ridiculous little dance with it to show the other girls that if you stomp off and whine like a little baby you can get what you want.
DEAR RAICHEL...you need make up. Lots of make up.
FANTASY DATE!
Jackie gets the next date card and it said something about Love on Track so I thought she was going to race a car or something. Brad picks her up and takes her to a hotel and says she's going to get the Pretty Woman Experience which I then thought was going to entail her putting out and him giving her money.
I was wrong. Brad gave her some beauty treatments and then took her to a room with a bunch of dresses and shoes and a make up artist and hair styler! She had a number of colorful frocks to choose from and she picked a Gun Metal Grey dress that matched the car that came for them. OH...and she got pretty jewelry too.
They went to The Hollywood Bowl, ate dinner on the stage while Brad asked her how many boyfriends she had as a kid....freaked out because she's only had two boyfriends and then reluctantly gave her the rose.
Then a band called TRAIN came out and sang to them.
Jackie had the best night of her life!
COCKTAIL PARTY!
Before Brad can even finish his toast to an exciting week with the ladies....Michelle grabs his hand and drags him away because she has some very important burning questions to ask him even though she already GOT A ROSE! Nothing pisses me off more than girls with roses stealing time with the bachelor.
Here's what she wanted to know. Do you like Starbucks or Coffee Bean. He looks confused and says he's a Starbucks guy. She also wants to know what's in his fridge. He says Eggs, Turkey and Water. (Keith's fridge only had Diet Coke and Pickles when I met him) THIS was the burning questions?
Brad sits down with Emily and I'm stuck by how calm and polite she is. She explains that she takes a little time to open up and he says he wants to get to know her. He seems very nervous and smitten with her. I like it!
Melissa approaches Raichel while she's sitting with a group of girls and verbally attacks her and then tells her to walk away....which she does. And then Melissa follows her. Melissa reminds me a lot of a Jack Russell Terrier that keeps jumping on your leg and won't leave you alone.
Melissa cries and tells Brad that there is a girl that keeps attacking her and is sucking the life out of her. In the middle of her tirade...she tells Brad that she has bad breath because she ate 4 slices of Onion Pizza before the cocktail party. And then she starts crying again. THIS GIRL IS NUTS!
Brad goes to talk to a crying Raichel and she says that she's having trouble with Melissa. He looks visibly confused....and irritated.
We have surprise visitors! Alli and Roberto! They are going to sit with each girl and ask some questions, assess their metal stability and give Brad a report! Great idea.
Melissa uses her time to tell Alli and Roberto that she's being targeted and she's tired of it. And she cries some more.
The report comes in and they tell Brad who is crazy and that Emily deserves a rose! YAY!
ROSE CEREMONY!
It looks like Brad is serious about this dating thing and he lets Raichel, Crazy Melissa and Keltie go. I think he made good choices this week and getting rid of feuding girls was a good idea but will not help fuel drama for those of us at home that live for this shit. Well...we still have Narcissistic Michelle!
Next week: Looks like Emily gets a one on one date and there will be singing. WHY singing! UGH!
OH MY GOSH! Just found this deleted scene...THIS is why Raichel went home. I didn't say all of this stuff to iKeith until he was IN LOVE with me. You never say any of this until you have hooked them. Oh girl...you need MORE than just make up.
I've been excited for this very controversial season of The Bachelor because I watched the 2007 season when Brad left both Jenny and DeAnna at the alter. Well...not really The Alter because he hadn't proposed to either of them yet...but he didn't pick anyone and apparently..America was pissed!
I was irritated but I didn't hate the guy.
Brad is back and he's had three years of therapy and now he's no longer a broken man with Daddy issues. He's a brand new man and he's ready to take that leap of faith and find love. And America...he wants you to know that he is very sorry!
In case you've been living under a rock...or you don't like reality TV or you don't own a television or you don't live in Texas. This is Brad Womack.
He loves kids, managing his bars in Austin, getting slapped across the face and when girls sing badly to him. And fangs. He LOVES girls with fangs. He might love Edward too but that hasn't been established yet.
There were some interested stories about our bachelorettes that were told last night. I'll give you the highlights of the more interesting one's because some of these gals aren't worth talking about...yet.
Ashley S. ~ Her Dad died so she's really sad but she puts on a brave face by saying LIKE a lot. She grabbed Brad's rear end when she met him and then later really like opened up to him and then we discovered that he could read between the likes and he gave her the first impression rose.
Michelle ~ A single Mom from Salt Lake City that wore super sexy dress that showed a lot of leg. She likes to work out and she isn't here to make friends.
Raichel ~ A manscaper that waxed Brad's hand in front of everyone and still got a rose.
Madison ~ Disturbed young lady that has had her eye teeth turned into fangs.
Ashley H ~ A Dentist that is dying to fix Madison's teeth.
Emily ~ Her story gave me goose bumps. Her race car driver fiance died in a plane crash and a week later she found out she was pregnant with his daughter. CRAZY right? Emily looks like a little southern Barbie doll.
Chantal ~ I only mention this gal because iKeith really liked her based on her looks...but then she said she had a dog and 2 cats.
Jackie ~ Keith likes this one too but I think it's because she looks Rachel from GLEE. She did some pinky swear thing with Brad and then tried to sing to him.
Keltie ~ A Rockette that came out of the limo with her leg wrapped around her head.
Britt~ A pretty blonde chef.
Lindsay ~ My friend Stiletto Mom knows her and she's adorable! I hope she stays a while.
It looks like it's going to be a pretty exciting season with lots of cat fights. They are also going to travel the world and that's one of the things I do really like about this show. It's like the Amazing Race but with bikninis, cute outfits and a hot guy with killer abs.
Note to self: Do more sit ups!
Come back next Monday for this seasons Drinking Game!
I think after the Jake fiasco.....I said that I was never going to watch The Bachelor again. Never, never, never.
I'm gonna have to take that back.
It looks like they've announced the NEXT bachelor and it's.....
wait for it....
it's gonna be leg- en- dary!
I'm back!
It's Brad Womack! The most hated bachelor in history!!! In 2007...this guy, didn't pick anyone! He said....No thank you in his sexy Texas drawl and he went on his merry way. It looks like he's STILL unlucky in love because he's back!
I have to tell you. I was really mad at him for about 3 years. I loved DeAnna and I was furious with him for dumping her when she thought she was the one! But then Jake was such a douche...that I forgave Brad. Just in time I say!
Welcome Back Brad!
EDITED: I read this on US WEEKLY's website this morning....and if US WEEKLY is reporting it...then it MUST be true. :)
