Ben and the Girls in San Francisco

Next stop, San Francisco. Since I used to live there for 21 years, I'm like trying to see where they are. Ben and his sister stop to have coffee at a sidewalk cafe. I'm like where is that? The group date, Ben concocts a ski run down one of San Francisco steep streets, where residents and passerbys get an eyeful at the girls in their bikinis. Looked hot and I'm meaning weather here, not the girls in their bikinis. In all the time I have lived there, I remember it only being really hot once.

I had to laugh out loud though when Kacie B. who can't ski a lick kept falling off her skis and even ran into the hay bundles butt first. Ben should have given her a rose just for being a good sport. I was laughing my head off. They should show that clip on the Bachelor most memorable moments segment.

Brittany, you remember her, she brought her granny to the opening party to win sympathy votes, well, Ben picked her for the single date. When she found out she was chosen, she immediately got all flustered. Come on Brit, girls are dying for that single date, and you are like, well, I'm not sure? What the F? Brittany after much self doubt finally says that she is bowing out and leaving the show, which I am sure made plenty of girls happy, oh well one less Beeyach to deal with right, but what would Granny say? Making Granny go all that way to meet the Bachelor.

Ben and Miss I'm studying to become a PhD, epidomologist took a walk on the Bay Bridge, and I don't mean on the bridge up on top of the bridge. Ok, scary! That took guts I have to say. The stunts are getting more and more daring, what is this fear factor? Ok give that girl a rose I say!

The surprise guest star this evening and who stole the show, the mysterious girl driving up from looks like Tracy? Modesto? Chantal! You know, Chantal, girl that grooms dead people? Apparently she is crushing on Ben from last season and wants to meet him. When she walks into the rose ceremony, it was hysterical, you could hear the jaws hitting the floor. Let the claws come out! Chantal tells Ben, that she had to come out to meet him because what if she didn't, then she would wonder the rest of her life. Well, she's going to have to wonder, since Ben whom I'm guessing didn't want to rock the rose ceremony and sent Chantal packing (did she even unpack?). Poor Chantal, how humilating getting the reject button so fast. But Ben did the right thing sending her home.

Ben and the Girls in Sonoma

Ben takes the girls to his hometown of Sonoma. Guess Ben is taking the lead on making sure, which ever bachelorette he takes home, they will fit in the quaint upscale town of Sonoma. Yep, any girl would be so lucky to live there. Trendy, quaint, charming, amid the vineyards, you'd have to be out of your mind not to want to live all the rest of your days there, and it's no wonder Ben doesn't want to leave. He has the best of both worlds.

Blakeley announces loud and clear she wants the rose on the group date and does everything short of sleeping with Ben to get it. Come on Ben, she's not your type. She's a man eater. She's more of the trophy wife for some rich dude to support, not our little Ben. Why he gave her the rose is mystifying. Seems like some other part of his anatomy is thinking for him. And there were no surprises that Ben gave Courtney a rose on their date. Come on, Miss Split personality played goodie two shoes on her date, how was Ben supposed to see through all that nicey nice? She actually came off as the nice girl and not the psycho witch she is in the house.

In the end, amidst all the drama, he had to let go of Jenna, who for the life of her, couldn't speak a coherent sentence the entire episode. Thank goodness she's a blogger, she doesn't have to public speak for a living.

Next week, looks like Chantal comes back for Ben. Wow, who knew? Should be good viewing. Stay tuned kiddies!

Ben the New Bachelor

This season looks promising. Bachelorettes riding in on horses, and yes she, Lindzi, got the first impression rose, Miss KY in her lets go to the Derby gigantic hat, and Miss I've won a beauty pageant title, but which title and who gives a rats ass. And who brings their grandma to grease the wheel and win sympathy votes from the bachelor? I thought it was so funny when Elyse said, what's with all the props, big hats, horse, pageant sash and some one's grandmother, wish I would have thought of that, sitting next to an old lady would make me look good!

Thought Ben probably should have gotten a makeover, what guy still parts their hair in the middle, well, maybe if you sing in a barbershop quartet.

The drama is already starting between Jenna (blogger from NY) the loose cannon scary low self esteem bachelorette, why did I come on this show? She will be the one we will not be able to stop watching. She's so neurotic she spent half the night in the bathroom crying because psycho Monica, (Miss I'm always smiling) when I make sarcastic remarks, said something to Jenna said it with a crazed smile on her face. What kind of person does that? Both of them should have been cut loose after the rose ceremony, but Ben gave them both a rose (hey producers did you tell him to keep the cats?). Oh well, let the cat fights begin. I was sad to see Miss London depart the show. I love her accent and even if she does have a horse face, she had comic potential and hey, doesn't she have diplomatic immunity from being rejected? As for the model, Courtney, she's a model really? She's cute in some angles, but beware of that overbite.

No front runners so far. Looks like it's going to be a good season. And I'm glad that the Bachelor is Ben, he's a really good catch, hey lives in San Francisco, and runs a winery in Sonoma. What a charmed life. Ben do you want my phone number, call me!

Taking a Sabbatical

I know readers, I am taking a sabbatical from blogging. Every once in a while one must take a rest, right? I'll be back soon! Keep in touch!!

Big Brother-And the Winner Is!

Rachel!! Whoo Hoo!! So glad that a veteran won. Didn't like anyone from the newbie side except Adam did start to grow on me towards the end. When Rachel won the last HOH and had to chose between Adam and Porsche what was she thinking? Just to keep her word and keep Porsche? Why start keeping promises now? Rachel won by one vote and that was Shelley's. Why Shelley voted for Rachel is still a mystery seeing how they hated each other in the house. Guess she realized that anyone who could dodge bullets throughout the entire season outta win. Even Adam voted for Porsche, sour grapes. I'm thinking if she would have kept Adam, she would have had more votes. I really don't think Danielle or Kalia would have voted for Adam. In the end, justice was served and Rachel now has a dowry to marry Brendon and plan her wedding. One of the best seasons, even if I swore off every episode!

The New Bachelor Is!

This just in, the new Bachelor-Ben! Not chosen by Ashley, Ben apparently has been chosen to be the next eligible hottie. Looks like this winemaker has gotten over being corked by JP and is looking for love! Hey Ben, if this second go round doesn't pan out for you, call me!

Big Brother Season 13

Ok, so I lied. My friend told me that I had to watch it because the veterans finally got a break. What a twist. Go Porsche, opening Pandora's box gave Rachel and Jordan the break they needed in the house. Without the pairs teaming up, they would have been toast and for sure Rachel would have been gone. If anything Rachel and Jordan needed to pull a win for the Veto this time around. They have been sucking at the challenges and the veto competition. Fortunately, Rachel was able to hold on to the Brendan dummy, (go figure) and won the Veto for her and Jordan, pulling themselves off leaving only Shelly and Adam to be their replacement. I so liked Shelly in the beginning, but her flipping on them really left a bad taste. And what's up with the two finger kisses. She looks so hard core, like some biker mama chick. Loved it that Rachel and Jordan had all the power and got rid of Shelly. Sorry Shelly, she kept saying that the only team she was on was her daughter and husband, well, that doesn't fly in the BB house where you pledged allegiance to all sides.

Didn't think that Rachel could pull another one out of her enormous boobs, but she managed to pull herself through the glazey donut challenge and won HOH. Go team Rachel, or as she said, Jochel-Rachel + Jordan. I hope they are the last two standing, sweet revenge, but as we all know, this game can turn on every episode. Rachel nominates Kalia and Porsche and in my opinion, Porsche should go home this week. Hopefully Adam will keep to his word and work with the Jochel team. He should remember who unleased Pandora's box to the house and this week it was Adam's idol, Tori Spelling. So funny that hard metal guy would be such a Tori Spelling fan. Weird and cute at the same time. Hey if Adam won, that would be ok too. Anyone who can admit to something like that is too cute in my book!

Big Brother-Season 13

For the past two episodes I've had to stop watching it half way through. Last week, during the double elimination when Kalia won HOH and put up Jeff. All that work for naught. I turned it off right there and then. And then last night, when Porsche won HOH, damn was she good at that snake challenge or what? I turned it off again. Looks like the newbies are going to slaughter the veterans and that's not a pretty thing to watch especially with sweet Jordan being on the receiving end. After Porsche won, I said no more. So I took the remote, announced to the house, (they didn't really care) that it would be no more Big Brother for me, ma. At this point, I hate Kalia, Porsche and especially Shelly who turns out to be the biggest faker of all. If anyone, I would root for Adam to win this whole thing, he is the only one that hasn't played all sides, and you gotta love the guy for that. Call me when the finale is over, this girl is hanging up her curiosity and going on a BB diet.

Bachelor Pad-Jake Goes Home

It was just matter of time before Jake went home. No matter how hard he tried, his days were numbered. And I'm not understanding why everyone is letting the power couple, Kasey and Vienna sausage rule the house. Are they that dynamic a couple? Do they really have that much hold over everyone in the house? Those two deserve each other. I was madly giggling when Kasey pulls out the promise ring and gives it to miss sausage and then proceeds to sing her a made up Kasey song. I was embarrassed and I wasn't even there. He sounds like he's singing through a plastic bag making up lyrics as he went along.

I wanted Jake to stay to at least give Ericka (boobs galore) some more face time, I kinda felt bad that she was the one no one was attracted to, even Jake (when he should have thrown to paint balloon at Vienna, I think he still likes her). Even though Jake was totally faking it with Ericka to get her on his side, at least he was giving her self confidence a boost and so right now is my vote to win this thing. Meanwhile, K and V still rule the house, when are the other contestants going to wake up?

BTW, that whole synchonized swimming challenge was way too funny and the guys were outrageously good! The return of last season's winner, Dave and Natalie was a surprise, they looked fantastic, but are they still a couple? Come on, America wants to know! Natalie looked so good and that dress she was wearing was killer!

Big Brother-Jeff Wins HOH

Been away for the last week but I didn't think there would be much happening, only that Brendon came and went, Rachel grew up and stopped throwing fits, and Jeff became HOH, nominated Kalia and Porsche. Sorry to see Brendon go and now Rachel can't win anything to save her life. What happened to her ability to win challenges? Luckily for her she's Jeff's ally. I like Jeff in that he doesn't mince words to anyone. Cross him, put him on the block and you can bet you are going up, Kalia.

Jordan looks so cute in her humilitard and the little beanie cap with the whirly thingy. Of course, Jordan could wear an outfit from made from phone books and look cute, that's just not fair. Shelly has lost so many points in my book, can't tell if she coming or going and whose side is she on anyway. Well, she better be loyal to Jordan, since she gave her the biggest gift of all, a phone call to her family.

At this point, don't care who wins, but leaning towards, Jordan.

Bachelor Pad

I love the Bachelor Pad, it's all the rejected castoffs that you love to love and love to hate, from previous seasons of The Bachelor and Bachelorette, although this season of Bachelor Pad we have a lot of repeaters, Melissa, crazy psycho woman (bachelors beware!), Gia who for all her glorious beauty can't seem to find a faithful guy (Wes cheated on her with of all people, Vienna!). Speaking of which, what is it with Vienna that has men mesmerized, is it her snow globes? So mesmerized, even Jake who wants, begs for forgiveness, gives Vienna a immunity rose, much to Gia's broken heart. And Jake, what a stupid stupid, doofus. No one wants a mamby pamby mama's boy. Jake, grow a set and man up, you don't need the forgiveness of Vienna to go on with your life. He is either playing the sincere part or is really trying to be sincere and if it is the latter, then Jake deserves all he gets.

I like that Ames is hooking up with Jackie, she seems perfect for him, smart pretty and funny, they make a good couple. Speaking of couples, Vienna has moved on to Kasey who speaks like he has a mouth full of marbles, or as wrestler Rated R, Justin said, it's like Kermit meets Miss Piggy. Good visual there.

Justin who just can't keep his mouth shut is the first guy voted off along with why me, Alli.

This season looks like it's going to be good. All the trapping of the Bachelor and Bachelorette but with way more drama and hook-ups, what's not to love?

Big Brother Season 13

Well, just as I suspected, Big Brother is suddenly Big and Boring. No surprises that Kalia put up Jeff and Rachel for eviction. Now it's Jordan's turn to cry. Poor Jordan, she's so sweet, crying because she couldn't drink the concoction that Daniele made for her during the food challenge. Well the have nots are eating coconuts and catfish, at least you can make a meal out of them.

Besides being boring now that Brendon is gone, the house is full of cat fights, like when Rachel asked how Daniele was doing during the nominations and Daniele turned away from her and just hissed and hissed and hissed leave me alone!

Big Brother Season 13

It's not going to be the Rachel and Brendon show anymore with Brendon being voted off last night. Although the new twist is that one of the evicted house guest would have a chance to come back and you know who I am rooting for Brendon! Yes I know, but watching the two of them is like watching a car wreck, you just can't take your eyes off of them and the drama they create! With Kalia getting HOH (and I didn't watch the HOH competition because my daughter got the spoiler from her friend in Louisiana) but what was the point of watching Kalia win? We know that Rachel is going to go up again with her only chance of staying in the house would be to win POV, which remains to be seen. Secretly I do want Rachel to win, come on, even she said she can't get a job because of her previous season's villainous ways.

I'm still not getting why no one brought up the reason to evict Jordon- because hey, she has already won Big Brother so why not get rid of her?

Well, with Brendon gone, looks like the rest of the season might be a yawner!

The Bachelorette-Ashley Choses JP

Didn't I call it? I'm just wondering why Ashley let Ben go down on one knee when she knew he wasn't the one. Could she spare him the humiliation? Like he said on After the Rose, it was the getting up off the knee that was the hardest part. I felt really bad for him, he was and is such a great guy, but let's face it, we knew Ashley had already made up her mind for JP when her tatted up sister said she didn't like him and Ashley just fell to pieces. Yep as Ashley said, she's such a B!tch! Let's judge someone after meeting them for all of 10 minutes. Poor JP, he must really love the girl, because that would be an indication for any guy to run the other way.

Something about JP that is just so sexy, Ben didn't have a chance, but he would be a great catch especially that his mother is the Martha Stewart of Sonoma, who wouldn't want to marry into that family?

Remains to be seen if Ashley and JP can follow in the footsteps of Ryan and Trista. They are both such cute couples. Didn't like Ashley's new hairdo on the After the Rose, looks like she got a Brazilian Straightener and new dye color. I loved her long sassy bangs on the show, almost made me want to run out and get that cut!

Well, good luck to them and I'm sure the mags will keep us informed of their relationship in gory detail.

The Bachelorette Prediction

I'm betting the farm that the final two will be JP and Ben with JP being the last man standing!
