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...]

The Bachelorette ~ The Finale

EMILY MAYNARD

Hey! So I am assuming that all of you watched the finale and saw our Jef take the final rose. There may or may not have been water dripping from my eyeballs.  Not whole tears, just a little moisture. Fine.  There were tears.  That dang Jef is so stinking cute I couldn't help myself.   So let's talk about how he got to the … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette ~ The Men Tell All

EMILY MAYNARD

This episode of "The Men Tell All" was pretty basic. No one cried, well almost, but not quite...no major fighting...and only a few boos.   Emily coming back and facing the men was very polite as well. I have to say that possibly the most interesting part of the show was the preview of the upcoming season of Bachelor Pad, which was … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette “Emily” – The Fantasy Suite?

EMILY MAYNARD

Here we are...down the the final three.   Can you believe there are only 2 episodes left?   Well, this episode was full of love proclamations and a super awkward rose ceremony.  Let's get started.   The episode opened with Emily heading to Curacao on a boat, throwing around words like "whirlwind".  Is it just me … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette “Emily” ~ Hometown Dates

EMILY MAYNARD

This episode has been hyped for weeks.   WEEKS!!   Did it live up to all the promise of drama?  Let's discuss.   The episode opened with Emily returning home to Charlotte to spend a night at home with Ricki.  Of course, she was in her "casual chic" attire, which is nicer than most things I wear for a night on the … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette Emily — Episode 7

EMILY MAYNARD

First off, is it really only Episode 7??  Because it feels like Episode 17.  At LEAST.   Regardless, 7 weeks in, another scandi didn't quite pan out as advertised.  I know they always try to play these episodes up, but it seems way worse this season.  Maybe because it's a little boringer than usual, who knows.  We'll talk about Fake … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette ~ Episode 6

EMILY MAYNARD

This week we are in Croatia. Yes, Croatia. Who knew it was an exotic locale? I am thinking that ABC blew their budget last season in Switzerland and now they are doing the "Explore Europe on a Dime" tour.   Beyond the odd choice of destination, this whole episode was a giant let-down.  The promos promised maximum drama, with … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette “Emily” ~ Episode 5

EMILY MAYNARD

This week's episode should have been titled "Emily is a West Virginia Hood Rat, Kalon is disgusting, and Arie is a Crybaby".  But alas, that was probably too long, so whatever.  Let's review.   The episode opened in London, England where the dates would be taking place. I have to say that although traveling is cool and makes for … [Read more...]

The Bachelorette ~ Episode 4

EMILY MAYNARD

This episode was snooze-city. The funniest part came from our friend Arie, doing his best Hulk/Doug impression. I literally snorted.   BUT let's start at the beginning. Chris (purple cuffs) Harrison dropped in on the men at their North Carolina mansion explaining that this is the week with the "dreaded" 2 on 1 date, a group date … [Read more...]
