Bachelorette Ashley

Ashley, one word, pathetic! Really? Come on, some guy you just met two weeks ago is making you lose your cool? Begging and pleading is not becoming and reduces women everywhere into groveling sniveling weak imbeciles. Bentley is a turd and he is leaving a legacy of not being able to trust men for his daughter. What kind of egocentric guy reveals to the world that he'd rather swim in pee than plan a wedding with Ashley. How disgusting. She might not be the girl for him, but hey, you signed up for the gig for what devious purpose (we have yet to discover, not that I care), but to be so crass, snickering at the expense of someone who seems genuinely nice is rotten to the core and he deserves little happiness in his life. I couldn't help but wince every time Ashley begged him to stay, it was too hard to watch. She needs to get in touch with her instincts because they are way off kilter. Ashley tells Chris that the hardest part is that he said he was leaving but that it was dot dot dot, like maybe something in the future could happen which gave her some tiny thread of hope. Chris tried to subtlety suggest that if he was into her he would have fought to stay. Did it sink in? Probably not. She's really naive in the men department and has serious insecurity issues which isn't very becoming. That is why she doesn't have the love she deserves, because she thinks she isn't good enough as evident with at failed Roast the Bachelorette fiasco. Sure I experienced a pang of hate when the otherwise seemingly congenial Will does his stand up roast only to expose his selfish need to be discovered at the expense of hurting Ashley's feelings by telling her that he expected Emily or Chantal. Why do guys always like blonds and big boobs. Just isn't fair, but Ashley took the ribbing about her small breast great it was only when Will mention Emily and Chantal her insecurity sprung into action. I guess I would be insecure too measuring up against a pretty blond and a chesty brunette. The girl can't win. I think deep down inside Will is a nice guy which probably explains why she spared him this round. I was hoping he would go with the unmasked man who turns out to look like Fred Flintstone's weird cousin. Because of that whole wearing the masked thing, he ruined any chances of Ashley getting to know him. It just backfired, because the mask actually was the barrier for anyone to get to know him. Once unmasked it was a big disappointment, because the allure of the Phantom just wasn't there, not that it was when he did wear the mask. His personality just wasn't big enough to win anyone over. Glad to see him go, now Ashley move on, Bentley is a pr!-K!

Taped Jimmy Kimmel because Ashley was to make a guest appearance and dish and word has it that Bentley comes back, let's hope it's just for the Bachelors Tell All segment!

The Bachelorette Ashley Spoiler Alert!

Ben

Constantine

Ames

J.P.

According to Reality Steve spoiler alert, he predicts the final four- Ben Flajnik, 28, the part-time winery owner in Sonoma, CA, who lives in San Diego, Constantine Tzortzis, 30, the Greek restaurant guy from Cummins, Georgia, JP Rosenbaum, 34, the bald construction manager from Roslyn, NY, and, Ames Brown, 30-yr-old Yale and Columbia graduate currently pursuing a DBA (Doctor of Business Administrations) at Harvard. Humm, seems like she is leaning toward those four, because I was surprised she kept Constantine and Ames, because they have had very little air time. There is one constant in four, they are all a little odd looking, not real good looking, but not real bad looking either. It's like you can't really tell if they are bo-hunky or not. Oh well, I'm leaning toward the winery owner, Sonoma, wine, what's not to love, sounds just so romantic!

The Bachelorette-Ashley

Come on, really keeping the masked man for another episode? Just when he was about to reveal himself they get interrupted. How planned was that? I'm wondering just how much money they paying Ashley to keep Batman around. He is so totally creepy. There is nothing mysterious, sexy or prince charming about him. He looks greasy, has serial killer eyes and needs a shave. Kept the masked man but eliminated cutie Ryan, what is she thinking? And eliminated poor Stephan, a potential boyfriend with benefits, he was a hairdresser.

Her date with William went well in Las Vegas, hey where was I when they were dining in the Belliago fountain? William seems nice enough, but where do you go from being a cell phone salesman? Ashley seems more demanding of someone with career potential and William doesn't fit the bill.

I won't have any sympathy for Ashley when she watches the show to see how Bentley so totally disses her as not "his type". Only one word for that guy, assh0!e. What a jerk, and she says her instinct tells her he's sincere. She's just blinded by the looks. Sure he's cute, but really? Looks like she gets the double whammy next week when someone says, they thought it was going to be either Chantal or Emily as the bachelorette and Bentley finally tells her the truth? She was practically begging him to stay, what's wrong with the girl?

Either way, let's hope she gets rid of the the jerk and the masked man, if she's smart enough and so far, she's not.

Celebrity Apprentice-Winner is John Rich and the Bachelorette Premiere-Ashley

I was disappointed. Sure it was a pretty even match, but come on Donald, just because he kinda cheated and called in some favors to raise money for the final event when it wasn't a fund raiser, was that fair? Gumption, I call it cheating. Cheating's cheating. I thought it should have been based solely on whose production of 7up the Uncola was the best. Marlee getting the retro voice of Jeffery from the original 7up commercial from the 70's was a stroke of genius. Yes, I liked the can design from John Rich's group, zebra stripes but that whole 20 minutes of no Def Leopard on stage and not greeting the Donald and execs when they came in should have been huge negatives in John Rich's campaign. But I guess for Trump, it's all about the money, and money won out. Marlee did a fantastic job nonetheless, even if she did look like the Jolly Green Giant's little sister in that green outfit. I did like John Rich's photo shoot, who can deny a guy in a cowboy hat? Wonder what he really looks like without the hat?

Which brings me to the premiere of the Bachelorette, Ashley. Don't know why she didn't get rid of the masked man. He's creepy and it looks like he keeps the mask on for the upcoming episodes, even while taking a crap on the toilet. One word, weird. Enough is enough, apparently he doesn't have enough confidence to show his real self although he says it's just the opposite. He kept saying that he wasn't here to party, but hey, wearing a mask, isn't that for parties? Fortunately for Ashley she has quite a good selection of guys. Somehow, I'm thinking the producers told her to keep Bentley, whom she knows from a girlfriend who called her to tell her before the show that Bentley has ulterior motives. He even said that he was hot for previous season winner, Emily. Poor Ashley, stupid is as stupid does. I'm sure she must have felt some conflict keeping him, so why go against instinct, because the producers say so (I'm thinking, because where's the drama if she lets him go?). She got rid of the drunk, too bad, because he totally dissed the masked man by putting pillows between them like he was some kind of leper. Ok, so he was drunk and he's a liquor distributor. Hummm, not a good combination. I like the cell phone salesman, he had a nice smile :) and hey, free phones, what more can a girl ask for? The three guys she should have kept were Anthony the butcher (seemed really nice, even if he does have that Bronx accent), Chris M & Jon, two cuties which deserved a chance rather than Bentley who is just taking up space. Boo go home I hate you already!

Celebrity Apprentice-Final Two

You heard it here!

Marlee and John Rich final two! Just as I said in a previous post!

Survivor Redemption Island and the Winner Is!

It never fails, the Q & A from the jury smacks of righteousness and indignation. Come on people, it’s a game for cripes sake. Everyone is so high and mighty, shame on you blah blah blah. Well shame on them, they are not sitting in the winner’s circle, now are they! David’s speech was the best, directed to the jury that Boston Rob deserves to win, he played the best game and even the two he brought with him said so much. He should have added, if you want a religious mystical experience, go to India, but don’t play the game of survivor. Oh BTW, glad they got rid of that whole remembering the fallen survivor comrades, although 40 days later, I have forgotten who played. NYC, jeff probst arrives with the ballot urn and in the same shirt, like he walked from redemption island. It never ceases to amaze me how different everyone looks as they fatten up and combed their hair. Grant you looked better with those island dreds, while Matt cut his lovely Jesus locks and Natalie got her hair Brazilian straightened. Jeff reads the votes, with all ballots going to Rob except one stray vote for Phillip from Ralph who all of a sudden gets a man crush on Phillip, stoopid is as stoopid does. Wondering if Ralph got a Brazilian on his beard? I loved it when Jeff said that in his opinion, Rob played the best game out of 22 seasons. Got that right! Guess now, Rob can add his trophy along side with his wife and hope that their children will go on to play Survivor after all it’s in their DNA.

Russell is still angry that he was voted off but when pressed by Jeff said that he would consider coming back. He might have learned a thing or two about how to play from Rob, ah then again probably not. Grant who on the island after his elimination was "cool" with that, but at the reunion show, he was holding grudges. Losing his dreds lost his cool. And yes, it's been confirmed by another Federal Agent, that Phillip was a Federal Agent, or at least she went through the Law Enforcement Academy with him. Probably got the boot since he couldn't keep it a secret that he was a secret agent.

Next season, it's off to the South Pacific and Redemption Island again. I liked the whole Redemption Island second chance, but why did it have to turn into a motel for the ejected? I'm guessing they might bring back Russell vs. Matt, the ultimate good vs. evil and will Matt end up on Redemption Island again?

As for Phillip and his chaotic ramblings, I liked him, he kept things interesting because you never knew what would come out of that specialist mouth.

All in all, a good night for Survivor and for Rob who also won Fan Favorite and the 100,000 and with that the tribe has spoken.

Survivor Redemption Island and Then There Were Four

Another season has come and gone, sigh! And if Boston Rob doesn’t cinch the title this time, he will have to pack it in for good, this is it, his final chance, the last hurrah, to win the title because in my book he IS the Ultimate Survivor. Come on, didn’t you feel a little pang of sympathy when Rob was saying that he loved his wife more than anything in the world and how she’s put up with him coming back to Survivor over and over but the elephant in the room is his regret he didn’t win because of her, ya her, big mistake, huge, stop thinking with your wanker! Sure he won the girl but he didn’t win the title and that has haunted him ever since. Only 6 more days. He’s managed to play a cool game, masterminding almost every move. You just gotta hope that innocent girl Natalie doesn’t turn her back on him, that was so totally risky of him to blindside Grant, who in the end, could have sustained the men to the end. Let’s hope that Ashley doesn’t hold too much power over Natalie. And out of the Redemption island survivors, who should come back? Grant. He might be mad at Rob, but I think he would still understand. All the others have had time to stew and build their vendetta to a vengeful pitch which could totally destroy Rob’s chance to win. Matt showed his scorn for Andrea, not very Christian of him, no second chances for her. This was a good season and every year still manages to keep my attention. I know, I have so little interesting things in my life!

Celebrity Apprentice-Bye Bye NeNe

Fool! What's wrong with NeNe. Her bark is louder than her ability to stand up and shut up. Sure the Donald decides to move NeNe over to the men's team, but is that any reason to walk out, just walk out without a word to anyone? I'm sure she'd still be there right now, if Trump had moved Star to the men's team. NeNe would so be like, yep, you deserve to be over there, head all z snapping, but since it was NeNe that he moved, she must have felt like it was being sent to stand in a corner with a dunce cap on because she was the bully on the play ground. Well, she the fool now, she missed that whole Star being fired at last. Gee what good is she, Star that is. She only works the computer because she only knows how to do brand messaging? Last night, Meatloaf should have been fired. He's like an incarnate of Gary Busey with all that creative go with the flow spontaneity. Please and a crybaby too boot! Marlee should have stopped the meat madness, but I guess her voice gets lost in the crowd. Their presentation was just awful, policemen and donuts. How cliche was that? I liked the guys OnStar presentation. It hit all the right marks and having OnStar in my car, I love it and can't live without it!

In the board room, you know you are going to get fired, when the Donald's conversation solely focuses on you, his sentences run together without periods, and his pitch crescendo's and he says those magical two words "Star, you're fired". Loud gasp from the deaf girl and shock from Meat.

Mark this prediction down, last two standing, Marlee and John Rich. Should be pretty good. So far, the men have proved to be better at all the task, so Marlee has her work cut out for her, that is of course, if John Rich doesn't get another sinus infection and becomes completely useless.

Amazing Race-Unfinished Business-Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Slow and steady wins the race and this proved true for sisters Jennifer and Lakisha, turtles of the race.

They surprised everyone by winning this season's Amazing Race, beating out the Globetrotters who were the strong bullying contenders, managing to ruffle a few feathers along the way and beating out daughter/father team of effervescence, Mallory and Gary. When Mallory told her father that they were going to win in the cab, I knew it was curtains for them. Never ever give out your predictions. Predictions are based, in this case how well your cabbie knows his locations and in this case, not, cabbie curse! Can't they use a GPS? They had a run of just plain bad luck, while Jennifer and Lakisha managed to keep one dribble step ahead of Globetrotters and I'm glad for that. Heck, Globetrotters have enough money, let's spread it around to those less fortunate and in this case a win well deserved. Snaps to the sisters!

On an aside note-laughed hysterically during the Brazilian waxing of Zev and Justin. Nothing like waxing a hairy beast!

Amazing Race-Unfinished Business-Bye Bye Goths

Here's what you missed-

A Swiss Alp rescue with Zev and Justin coming in last-

The making of a chocolate Travelocity Gnome mold-with the Globetrotters trotting into first place on the mat-

and the Goths critical mistake of not reading their clue right-taking a taxi instead of

walking to the pit stop-incurring a 30 minute penalty-

losing the game! and letting Zev and Justin step on the mat before them.

Bum way to get eliminated, but shame on you, having raced before. What did your mother always tell you, take a sweater in case it gets cold, pee before you leave the house and always, always read your clue thoroughly!

Celebrity Apprentice-NeNe Blow Up

Let's face it, you can't win an argument with NeNe. She's taller, bigger, talks louder and uses her body language to get all up in your face. According to NeNe, Star is bossy, manipulative and conniving. NeNe has a total melt down and goes off on Star in front of Trump and et al when they are gather to learn about their next challenge. NeNe apparently didn't take too well when Star hinted that she should be the project manager. So NeNe resentfully concedes to be the PM all the while berating Star for this and that while Star remains like stone, not stooping to her level by even acknowledging that those comments are about her. What, who me? Star knows completely what she is doing, she is cunning and conniving and she wants to be The Celebrity Apprentice. Well, she's gonna have to duct tape NeNe's mouth first. During the challenge, the girls pretend to kiss a make up, but there is subtle tension ready to explode, with just one wrong look or one wrong word. I truly thought the girls presentation was horrid while the guys really came through and they deserved to win.

LaToya makes another appearance to plead her case to the Donald for a second chance to come back and be on the men's team. The Donald knows a rating bonanza when he sees one and lets her come back to be on the men's team, but makes sure to state that this will be the first and last time he does this.

In the boardroom, its mashing over the same arguments again between NeNe and Star but when push came to shove, when the Donald asked each one of them who they would get rid of everyone said, Hope. So bye bye Hope, you just have no drama in you.

I hate to say it, but this season is proving to be very memorable, but then again, ask me in a few months who was on this season......

Survivor-Redemption Island-Double Elimination

Phillip is delighted with his sassy undercover specialist (?) self since he had a premonition that came to him in a dream. His great great grandfather told him where his shorts be at. Guess there's not much to do in the afterlife. It's under a rock he saidth to Phillip, go seek and ye shall find. And lo and behold, nary under the second rock, there he discovered the truth. His shorts. Well thank heaven for that, now Phillip can cover up those pink BVDs! At the Redemption challenge, Phillip is like a seven year old, pointing to his pants to Julie. Julie, who looks like she's spent one too many millions of years in the sun goes home to the jury but not before she says weepingly that she came on because her house is in foreclosure. Ok, I take that last line back. I felt bad. Rob is like aw shucks, Matt still lives another day, thanks to his God. Maybe there is something to all that God stuff?

The immunity challenge is the log roll and Grant wins easily and gets to eat his chocolate cake too. Back at camp, Rob is like maybe they should get rid of Andrea since she was sympathizing with Matt, which is like talk of treason against Zapatera. Before they leave the challenge, Jeff gives the tribe a mystery package to bring to tribal. Rob says maybe it's for a double elimination. Boy that guy really knows this game. At tribal things work according to plan, getting rid of furry hick boy and then you guessed it another elimination, the memorization game, which Rob smugly wins and they vote out Steve, which I'm glad they chose him, because why upset the boat, let Andrea survive another round at least if she goes next she'll have no one to blame. Should be a free for all at camp with only the Zapatera tribe left to eat each other.

It's Over-Brad and Emily Break Up

We knew that wasn't going to last. According to some sources, Emily did it via telephonic way to say she's had it. Well at least she didn't send a text message. Emily states she was getting tired of his old ways and that it didn't look like Brad would ever be that perfect fiancee. Come on, this is Hollywood for crimmy sakes. Brad's a loose cannon, a la ex-girl friend Laura Kaygay who told US Weekly in the Feb issue, he text her before filming the Bachelor to marry him. Really? Well, who knows, but for now, is three times a charm? I don't think so.

Amazing Race-Unfinished Business-How Far is it, Liechtenstein

A question that became the undoing of the cowboys. Not their shining moment, in fact just another misstep in their utterly dismal race. Not sure why all the other teams view them as a threat, they've missed planes, taken the wrong route, and come in at the bottom of the pack, so how are they a threat? Misguided teams need to see that Zev and Justin are the real threats here, don't let that veil of autism fool you. They are smart and strong, if not a little goofy in the process. Sure let's eat fondue, did they not get the hint when they opted for the schnitzel Austria, sure let's eat some more food! Puke.

Definitely did not like the Globetrotters U-turning the cowboys. Obviously the cowboys were in last place and then to add salt to the wound, lets make them do another challenge. Shame on you Globetrotters, now I hope you end up in last place. Seems like the only team left with any good will is perky Mallory and Gary. Hope they end up winning, even if her constant perkiness bugs me.

Survivor Redemption Island-

Again it's dissension over rice as Phillip scoops some of Zapatara's rice, they won't miss it because they are flushed with rice and living large with only three tribe members. When Ometepe goes to check their rice, it's covered with maggots from a leak in the bottom of the container. Phillip ask Steve if they could put their good rice in with their's to which Steve says no. Play nice! Immediately Phillip and Steve get in a heated argument with Steve ending up calling Phillip "crazy" to which Phillip takes as a racial slur. Yes, we all know Phillip is crazy and has won the second highest medal in the military. What is the second highest medal? I'll have to look that one up.

I loved tribal when Jeff was trying to sort out that argument and really made some sense from both sides. He's such a diplomat! It's all in the perspective. Jeff, will you marry me? Redemption Island challenge between Matt, David and Mike, David is odd man out and gets to be the first member of the jury.

Rob wins the immunity challenge and he and his tribe are considering taking Phillip out since he is getting on everyone's last nerve, especially now that Julie stole his pants and he has to walk around in his pink BVDs. Yikes. But at tribal, Ometepe comes to their senses, letting Phillip go would be the end of Ometepe, keep the diversion on Phillip I say and they send Julie packing. Not sure what their rational was for that, I would have sent Steve home. He seems like a big challenge threat. Hillbilly can't do much of anything, but Steve can pull out the challenges. Still rooting for Boston Rob. I like him!
