Sorry folks, but I just couldn't get into the Bachelor this season. Something odd has been happening to me. I only managed to watch one episode of the destined-to-be-douchey show Mama's Boys... Normally I would have suffered through the entire season questioning my sanity and the intelligence of everyone on the show. And now, the Bachelor can't keep my interest? I'd like to say I'm maturing, but I'm sure that's not it. I think having to share the tv with Lee has made me cut down my tv watching and other shows are just more important to me! Oh, and the Comcast ordeal didn't help things either.
So, no Bachelor updates here... Please check Fubar's blog for recaps!
Oh, but you will be able to find some Biggest Loser updates here. I'm still in love with that show!

The Bachelor
Monday night was the premier of The Bachelor. But I didn't get to watch it until tonight. The suspense!I really like Jason. The beginning was like a commercial for him. Showing him being hot and working out and stuff. Then they went through his Deanna saga. As soon as they showed her I said "BITCH" as I'm guessing all the Jason fans did. The only thing that bothers me about Jason is how everytime they show him kissing Deanna, he always had his hand on her face or chin. That is ok and endearing every now & then, but every time?
There is more of a variety of girls this time. They threw in a couple of divorcees and single moms. One widow. Then there is your typical assortment of flakes mixed in.
I absolutely hate when everyone gets out of the limo. Oh my. Awkward situations really make me anxious and I sometimes have to change the channel. So watching 25 of them in a row is truly painful. Actually, pretty much the whole first episode is painful.
Oh my gosh, Shannon is a stalker. She knew his birthday, his younger brother's name and that his younger brother is dating a Shannon too. WOW. Restraining order.
One girl has a theory that she can tell what kind of guy someone is by their favorite hotdog topping. Weirdo. It sounds like "ketchup" or "mustard" are the two good answers. If this girl was Clint, ketchup would mean you should die. Jason put mustard on first. He's a keeper.
In true reality show fashion, they had to throw in a twist. During the party, the girls got to all vote a girl out. Things got catty. Not too surprising. As if the girls needed a boost. Then, they announced the three girls that got votes. Just so they could piss off three people, I guess. Then they said that the winner would be leaving... WITH A ROSE. WTF? That doesn't even make any sense. Whatever. So, basically, they just pissed off three girls.
At one point, one chick was talking about how she was engaged to a guy and in the middle of the night she left the engagement ring on the pillow and bailed. RUTHLESS! She married someone else and that was wrong too. But, now "she knows what she wants". I bet.
Nothing too exciting or shocking about the rose ceremony. He did keep the stalker girl. I probably wouldn't have made that choice... I thought Renee's eyes were going to pop out of her head. She was the nutty one that was talking about her vision boards. I guess your "love" vision board is going to need some work cause you didn't get a rose. Wow, in the final interview she is STILL talking about the vision boards. The wedding planner is a little drunk and is on a rant because she didn't get picked. She says she had already planned her wedding to Jason... Hmm, I wonder why he didn't choose you.
Scenes from the rest of the season... One girl shacks up with Jason. Another has her hands in his pants. Wow. THEN Deanna comes back. Who let her on the set? WTF. That appears to really stir things up. You had your chance bitch. Back off! This season is intense!
Called Out

At the beginning of last night's Biggest Loser premiere, Bob totally called me out. He & Jillian were doing a "wake up call" for America about not sitting at home watching TBL while eating ice cream... Hmm. What was I doing? Watching TBL & eating ice cream. Oh, and cookies. Didn't see that one did ya Bob?
This season should be an interesting one. We've got the biggest woman, the biggest contestant, the oldest couple... Oh and two girls that used to be models and are now fat. And last night they sent home NINE people. What? I looked at Lee and said "This is going to be a short season." Basically, two couples were left intact, but the other 9 couples had to decide which partner stayed and which partner left. If the partner on the show is still there in 30 days, then the partner at home gets to come back. Pretty crazy stuff. It does add incentive to the players. And it's just the latest gimmick to keep the show fresh. I mean, American Idol has a new judge, right? (I DON'T watch American Idol!)
Oh, and I should have some comments on the new Bachelor, but I don't get to watch it until tonight while Lee is at class!

The Bachelor - Revisited in the Final Three
We are down to 3 ladies left in the running for Matt's heart on The Bachelor: London Calling. Last night he sent home Noelle. I was a little surprised.Totally not the move I would have made. I would have sent home Chelsea. Anyway, I wanted to take a look at the three remaining girls and look back at what my "first impressions" were back when this whole thing started.
Amanda R. - As she walked up she had her hands behind back. She's kind of awkward but endearing. Collarbone = yuck. Kept getting HICCUPS!! Somehow she got the first impression rose later in the evening. Matt and I clearly don't have the same taste.
I am pretty "meh" about Amanda. Last night she hired actors to play a prank on Matt and pretend to be her parents. Matt said he liked it, but I don't know. I would have been like "WTF?" Her hiccups seemed to have died down a little bit, but it is still freaking weird and annoying!
Chelsea - Self-proclaimed arm wrestling champ. After Matt arm wrestled her, he had a good line: "I only arm wrestle women. Pregnant women." (It was funnier with a Brit accent.)
Chelsea is a weirdo. If I were Matt, I would have sent her home last night. She is always "rough". Like she never wants to hold hands with him, she has some weird phobia about it. I don't know. She just doesn't seem very cuddly at all. And he obviously has an issue with that. But, for some reason he keeps her. Whatev!
Shayne - PUKE. Later in the evening she blatently fished for compliments by asking Matt if he liked her dress. It would have been awesome if he had said NO.
Surprisingly, Shayne is probably my favorite of the 3 that are left. I think she has improved over the show from where she was that first night. I think she went in to the show looking for publicity for her acting career, but I do believe that her values have changed. However, they say women turn into their moms, and if that is the case, Matt should run the other way! Her mom looked like she had WAY WAY WAY too much plastic surgery. It was painful to look at!
It is interesting to see how different the girls are now vs. that first night. I can't wait to see who he proposes to... IF he proposes. They always make it look like they do and a lot of times they don't!

Another classy move from the Bachelor
(Medical sales, is that anything like pharmaceutical sales?)Matt was sitting there telling her how he felt like she was more interested in hanging out with the girls than hanging out with him. Things were clearly not going in a good direction. So, what did she do? Did she confirm that she was there for him? No, she opened up her dress and showed him her boobs. All class all the time!!

Walking a mile in Fubar's Shoes
Fubar is known for a lot of things. Bonging champagne, invincibility, and his love of Britney Spears (former love?). But, something else he is known for is his Bachelor reviews.
On Monday Kathryn and I were watching the Bachelor. We decided to walk a mile in Fubar's shoes and keep a log of the girls we liked and disliked. I have to give Fubar credit, it is a lot harder than it looks! Just as you are writing down that one girl has big teeth, another one is talking about arm wrestling. Whoa, overload. So, in the order that we met them, here is my summary of Matt, the Bachelor, and the girls.
Matt - Matt is British. The first Brit Bachelor, and he wants to meet American girls. Kathryn said that Brits think American girls are easy. Correlation?? I am undecided as to whether I am attracted to Matt or not. He had some very steamy rugby pics that almost had me convinced. But, accents only confuse me and he kind of has bags under his eyes. He does seem to have a good sense of humor, though, and he sounded really sweet when he was talking about his family. Kathryn, on the other hand, is smitten. She has earned the nickname "the 26th bachelorette".
Devon - Long face.
Christine - 32 years old. Looks oldish. Kept saying "thanks".
Chelsea - Self-proclaimed arm wrestling champ. After Matt arm wrestled her, he had a good line: "I only arm wrestle women. Pregnant women." (It was funnier with a Brit accent.)
Erin H. - Giggly. Had goth-ish hair. Already mentioned getting a wedding ring on her finger. Whoa! Slow down! I'm a married woman and you're making me scared of committment!
Kelly - Cute.
Rebecca - Kathryn happened to pause the show at this time and Rebecca had the scariest face/neck thing going on. It looked painful, really, and crazy scary. Then she said "You are from England." Really? He didn't know that.
Denise - Big teeth and is big into politics. Was an aide for Bush.
Erin S. - Kind of has a manly voice and her profession is a hot dog vendor. I bet she had a heck of a time getting her work put on hold so she could go on the show.
Robin - Meh.
Ashlee - With two E's. Just like on the How I Met Your Mother we just watched! Should have skipped the part where she blew him a kiss. She's cute though. Looks pretty young.
Alyssa - Cute and seems confident.
Michelle P. - Bright red hair... Kathryn and I both wonder if the carpet matches the drapes.
Shayne - PUKE. Later in the evening she blatently fished for compliments by asking Matt if he liked her dress. It would have been awesome if he had said NO.
Marshana - She was sporting some weird African princess garb that she made herself. She is also the Miss Earth New York. Whatever that means. Totally the token black chick that he'll keep around for a couple rounds.
Amanda P. - Looks like she is 12.
Tamara - High pitched voice, cocktail waittress.
Holly - Looks like a Barbie doll. Suprisingly good conversation though.
Tiffany - "You look sharp..." What are you? My grandma?
Carri - She had a weird chest. "You're English, OK." He went for a peck on the cheek and she looked like she went for tongue.
Stacey - Right away, I called SLUT! I also said she had DSL. (Hopefully you people know what that means. If not, Google it.) She even had a huge tramp stamp tattoo that her low-back dress showed off. Later in the show, she got totally bombed. She had this glorious line: "I have my bachelors in nutrition. And nothing and no one will ever stop me. I want to find a pharmaceutical that will cure something that no one has thought of." Wow. Sounds like one of Ahow's drunk voicemails!! Later on in the evening Matt was talking to Stacey and another girl and Stacey kept rubbing his leg. AWKWARD. Then, he walked away and she went over and slipped him her underwear. WHOA! Fortunately, she passed out soon after that. All class!
Lesley - Weird shaped mouth.
Michelle R. - No, not Michelle Reuter! This girl had a mouse voice.
Noelle - Nice rack and dimples. Not annoying.
My top 5 favorite girls
Kelly
Alyssa
Holly**
Carri
Noelle
** Kathryn had the same list, except Robin instead of Holly.
Matt managed to pick 4 out of my top 5, so I'm pretty happy about that. He didn't pick Alyssa though. Not sure what he was thinking there.
Looks like it will be a good series!!
