The Bachelorette Desiree ~ Episode 4

1318860980pre-1370990922

So is anyone really on board with this season? Are we invested yet? I have to say...it's not my favorite. I want a better villian...Ben's not cutting it.  I want less use of the word "hopeful" and more use of the word "drama"... But anyway...   The episode opens to CH getting his contractual face time.  Declaring in his … [Read more...]

Chris Harrison arrived with a date card.  Ben was immediately apprehensive because he "has a target on his back" which is code for "I'm a giant jerk who will hang around just long enough for ratings". Am I the only one super disappointed that he is this year's villain?  His son is so adorable!! Anyways.  Chris, wearing his finest plaid … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette — Desiree {Episode 1}

desiree

Episode 1 opened up with Desiree pulling up to her Bachelorette Pad in a little sedan.  Really, Chris Harrison?  No Limo???  Perhaps the producers blew the transportation budget on business-casual button downs for Chris? That was mean.  But seriously -- does he own any other kind of shirt?   T-Shirts, Chris.  They're a whole big … [Read more...]

So here we are. The Women Tell All. I'll admit -- I've never been so huge on The Women Tell All episodes.  But I was really looking forward to this one -- mainly for the Tierra drama and to see if AshLee was still dishing out the icy cold death glare. The episode opened with Chris Harrison giving some season finale teasers.  Apparently … [Read more...]

Well girls, here we are...at the point in Bachelor season where we can forgo our individual rooms and stay as a couple in the fantasy suite. I feel like this season has flown by...for real.   We opened up with Sean in Thailand riding a boat, walking through the jungle, laying on a hammock and sitting in front of water fountains while … [Read more...]

This Week in Pop Culture | That's What We Said

Well we sure did have some ups and down this week in Pop Culture, didn't we? Let's start with the sad news... Country Star, Mindy McCready allegedly commit suicide over the weekend. Now I never really knew much about Mindy McCready until her stint on Celebrity Rehab (I am shamefully addicted to that show). And I'm just gonna say, that I'm … [Read more...]

The Bachelor Sean — Hometown Dates!!

Bachelor_colorLogo3002

The episode opened with AshLee. I have to say, not a huge fan of hers.  Her hair is gorgeous, but the whole blindfold trust thing weirded me out.  Then add the "I LOVE THIS MAN" date last week... Enough.  Just enough. Anyways -- AshLee lives in Texas, and she has a tiny dog.  She opened by telling us how she never knew what true love … [Read more...]

The Bachelor Sean ~ Episode 7

Well, here we are in St. Croix. Finally no snow, no rain, no parkas.   Sean "broke the rules" again by flying into St.Croix with the women, or at least he rode in on the small plane that took them over the island.  Somehow I think on the long flight from Canada, Sean roughed it in first class, while the ladies planned Bridesmaids … [Read more...]

This Week in Pop Culture | That's What We Said

Yeah, Hollywood took the week off. Nothing especially exciting happened. I mean, I'm not really HOPING someone has a mental breakdown, or goes into rehab, or punches a paparazzo....but it WOULD make my life a little easier.   But in the meantime, let's discuss what DID happen. Well, we had this thing called the Superbowl last … [Read more...]
