The Bachelorette Ali Choses!

It was a hard decision, two good guys, one Latin hunk, one mom's apple pie. Both sound choices. But it was obvious during that episode whom she had fallen for and let's face it ladies, weren't we so over the last bachelor, Jake, who turned out not to be the manly man we all thought he was. Instead he was just marshmellow fluff, poofy like a cotton ball, no substance, no meat. Women want a Man, capital M. We want a he-man, we want someone strong, self confident, funny. Our protector and our romancer. We want someone who knows how to ride a motor scooter and not fall off, we want someone who goes fast on a jet ski but yet is gentle and sexy at the same time. We want Roberto! Snaps for Ali for making the decision to let Chris go the day before and not let him suffer the humiliation of getting the last minute rejection. It was tender and honest, but I would have liked for her to say- Chris you're a wonderful man and will someday find that special someone, but no it was all about her and how hard it was. Chris was a gentleman all the way, full of grace and compassion. And what about that rainbow, it really was like his mother watching over him. It was truly a perfect ending for him, even if he didn't get the girl. Hey Chris, if you can't find that perfect girl, just give me a call, if you like cougar that is!

The After the Final Rose show, Frank was a no show, proving that he really is a turd. Good riddance! Ali and Roberto still looked like they were in love and are moving to San Diego. Well, good for them I say. As I watched it with my daughter, I said during one of their mushy cuddly scenes, I give them 6 months, my daughter pipes up and says I give them two. Let's hope Ali and Roberto do find their fairy tale ending, because we all know the failure rate for finding love on reality.-Single D

The Bachelorette Ali, The Guys Tell All

A couple of facts from the reunion show, Kirk is still in love with Ali, Justin is even more of a jerk with the new fact that he had not one but two girlfriends during the show, Kasey is still very very weird, yet somehow still beloved by his guys in the hood, and the weatherman is still the biggest weenie of the lot!-Single D

The Bachelorette Ali and the Bad Romance

Schmuck, loser, pond scum, scum of scum, egoist, selfish fish, liar, moron, vomiticus, there I've vented!

Let's see, the guys have been on the show for 6 to 8 weeks, they have been all over the world for free and get to compete for the affections of the Bachelorette. You would think after all that time, a guy would know if he's completely over this last romance. I knew there was something suspicious about Frank. He seemed off, either he was harboring serial killer tendencies (like I said in one post about him), bi-polar, or gasp gay! But we was neither, come on, I would have preferred him to be gay, at least we could have been good friends and he could have decorated my bedroom. But no, he's still mooning over his last girlfriend. How low, how despicable! It wasn't enough that he was feeling hesitant about his feelings for Ali, but, when he had the audacity to actually say her name on TV, well, that was confirmation that he wasn't over her. Nicole. And of course how could the producers not opt for him to make a last minute visit to her, just in case he was still in love with her. How perfect was that? Did the producers purposely find some schmuck that was still mooning over a past girlfriend? How could they! It wasn't enough that they had Justin, X-rated wrestler after fame and fortune, and purely there for economical reasons, but now they found a schmuck that still has feelings for his ex. What I'm wondering, is how long have they been broken up and who did the break-off? Seems like the way "Nicole" was talking Frank did the break-up as Nicole whispers that her life wasn't the same without him. Nicole, one word RUN! Any guy that breaks up with a girl and goes on a reality show to get over his past love is a loser and a user. That's what Frank is, a user, loser, selfish, a p-----, a d----, a mf, oh, did I already do that?

What I'm not getting is that Ali must have known or seen clues that something was off. She even said that he was hot and then cold, yes and then no, (oh don't get me humming that Katy Perry song!). So she either refused to see it or thought she could change is ways. Just like a woman, trying to go after the bad boys. Why do we do that? Well, the guy is a jerk. She should have kept Kirk like I wanted her to do last episode, even if Kirk's dad was a little scary. I hope Frank-enstein lives a long a happy life with "Nicole". And Ali, you have two great guys, we knew those two would be the last ones standing. Now it's a really hard decision to chose between two good guys, but I'm thinking she's going to chose Roberto, they have hot chemistry. Chris is a nice guy and probably better husband material, but he needs to stop pecking at her like a chicken, he obviously isn't a hot kisser. Yuck!-Single D

The Bachelorette Ali-Hometown Dates

I love the hometown dates because what better way to judge a person than whose he related to, and you know how scary in-laws can be! Speaking of scary, deers, bears, and squirrels oh my! Ali is not in Kirk's dad's home for more than 5 minutes when his dad says would you like to see my basement little girl (I added that part)? Don't bad things happen in basements? Basements are downright scary and just the place to do what else???? Taxidermy, oh my! Didn't even know anyone did that anymore and what does he do it for a hobby or for a living? That in my book is right up there with the embalmist. Guess Kirk's stepmother didn't have much to say because they didn't give her any air time, except the rolling of the eyes when Kirk's dad mention the basement. Yes, I would have to think twice about getting myself hitched to a family like that. I guess a family that stuffs dead animals together stays together? Apparently not! Doesn't seem like Kirk's dad is none too fond of Kirk's mother, just an impression.

My favorite family was Chris's dad and his quaint house on Cape Cod. Just the kind of house I would picture someone living in the Cape of Cod would have. And what about his sisters? They were right out of the "Daughters of the Revolution". I can so imagine them doing a quilting bee and mending flags. I would definitely marry Chris, just so I could move in with Dad and live near the beach and sit in the rocker on the porch. What a life. No wonder Chris moved back home, it's the life of Riley!

Roberto's family seems nice enough and it looks like the brother has already married a "guero" (Spanish for blond), so Ali would fit right. She was right when she said any guy in a baseball uniform is so sexy! What is he a baseball player or an insurance salesman? His dad seemed concerned that Ali might be too career oriented for Roberto.

I was so hoping that she would have gotten rid of Frank, he is way to high maintenance and high strung. Does she really want to go through life with his manic depressive ways? Seems like he's already trying to back out of the whole thing and yet she doesn't see it. His family seems nice enough and sure everyone wants Ali as their daughter-in-law and why not. She's perfect.

Too bad she cut loose Kirk, granted he has a weird family, but he was falling hard for her where Frank seems like he wants to head in the other direction and it seems like he has some emotional meltdown next episode when they are in paradise, Tahiti (that's where we went on our honeymoon, beautiful!). Well if she can't sense his fear then she needs a good head dipping in the ocean. Come on, it will be down to Chris or Roberto and we already know that. A word of advice Ali, when you send someone packing, at least try to give some words of comfort instead of standing there looking all distraught. Tell the reject bachelor that he'll find his soul mate someday because he's good and kind and sweet and sexy. It's not about you in that moment, it's about making it less hard for the guy. Let him feel that some where there is someone for him, it's just not you. And oh by the way, it's a Dennis Bracelet, well Dennis, you need to market those things because they look beautiful!-Single D

The Bachelorette in Portugal and Can You Say OMG Jake and Vienna!

Last night's episode was overshadowed by the tantalizing preview of the smack down between Jake and Vienna. I so thought it would just be another he said, she said and it was, but it was so much better than I had anticipated. I was howling and laughing my head off. Did you notice how they were sitting on the loveseat, both with crossed legs and crossed arms. Can you say stand-off? Jake was so trying to be above it all, until she called him what a "fame-whore" within the first two minutes of the interview. I think Vienna might have just added to the Merriam Webster's vernacular of current hip sayings with the induction of "fame-whore", and underneath those words will be as contributed by Vienna what's her name. Speaking of fame-whore, she that spewed do-eth. She's as much of a fame-whore as he is. She transplanted herself in record time to LA from Florida so she see and be seen on "Dancing with the Stars". He complained she didn't have a job, she complained that he doesn't work, to which he replied I'm a pilot, to which she replied but you haven't worked in a year, to which he replied I just flew lasted weekend. She complained he wasn't affectionate, to which he complained, how can you be affectionate to someone who is constantly undermining you and won't shut the hell up (I added that). Well she wouldn't, which was probably the biggest reason Jake was so done with her. Every time he tried to defend himself, she'd cut him off. The whole conversation was Vienna talking, with Jake trying to get a word in edge-wise. He'd end up saying, there she goes again, and again, and again until he finally said, "Please shut up!" (well at least he said please!). And to that she stormed off the set, never to come back again or be seen again, ya right! In the beginning I was kinda on Vienna's side because I so lost my love affair with Jake after picking her. He came off in the end like a whining mama's boy, so he deserved what he got. But after Vienna could not stopping yakking and with Jake trying to sit smugly trying to let her dig herself deeper, it became a toss up on who was worst. My vote, they both deserve each. All in all a good night of TV hiliarity.

Meanwhile on the Bachelorette, Ali sends Ty home which I so knew he wasn't for her. He's divorced, a hick and really really old fashioned. I don't care how much he said he had changed, you can take the boy out of hickville, but can you take the hick out of the boy?

I didn't think Ali would send Chris home, she was after all wearing the bracelet he had made for her. What did he call it a dentist bracelet? Hey those might be the next big thing. My vote is either for Roberto or Chris. And oh, didn't Portugal look amazing, put on bucket list!-Single D

The Bachelorette Ali in Turkey

Ok, burn the big G on my forehead. G for gullible, golly gee, gawds, good grief. Didn't see that one coming from Justin. How quickly the viewing public forgets that uh dud, didn't every guy in the house hate him from the beginning and voted him out in the first episode? Isn't he the one that out of everyone else might have a hidden agenda being a pro wrestler and all? And how quickly I was so taken with his Cheshire Cat eating grin swallowing Kasey whole and spitting him out in tiny itty bitty pieces. But it was Ali doing the chewing and spitting him out in little pieces in last night episode. Could we have asked for more drama! You so know when Chris Hansen makes an appearance at your hotel door something terrible is going to happen. Chris is so Mr. Cool, when he tells Ali that Justin has a girlfriend and has even been calling her through this whole thing. What Ali says! Sure we have proof says Chris, let's call her. Ya lets do! That was a great touch! When Ali confronts Justin, he is so taken by surprise, he gets up and leaves or rather scurries, exit stage left. Just like a man! Why do they always run out? I always tell my husband after a pretty nasty quarrel, if you run out you will just have to come back and face the music, so take it like a man! Snaps for Ali telling that to Justin, who by this point was feeling shrunk down in size. Didn't look like his broken leg was bothering him now. Whoopsee, caught ya. I'm wondering how long his girlfriend will be his girlfriend when he gets home. It was a nice soap opera-ish touch when they were playing all her save messages from Justin as he walks the walk of shame, which in reality show time, will probably last all of 5 minutes before some other show comes knocking. And I thought he was a mama's boy, shame on you for making me like you!

After all that drama, a little levity was in order and just the thing, what else Turkish wrestlers, was that in honor of Justin? Nothing like big Ottoman guys in oily skin and black leather pants to get one laughing. It was funny all the comments the guys were making about being greased with olive oil and having to wrestle guys bigger and stronger than them. Very funny stuff. Ali has been making a few mistakes along the way with her choices in guys. Why did she keep Craig along, when obviously she has no physical attraction to him? And now it looks like Frank is going to wig out on her. He does seem to have those kind of weird psycho eyes, like he could have a leading role in the Ted Bundy story. Ali wake up! Make better choices or you will never find the right man! Oh yeah, didn't Turkey look fantastic-put on bucket list!-Single D

The Bachelorette Ali

What was the first things I did when I came back home from vacation? Watch 4 hours of the bachelorette of course! Never mind we had been traveling all day, picked up the dogs, cleaned the house (why was it so dirty? no one was home!), unpacked the bags and did 6 loads of laundry, not to mention the time change, but I was still up to watch the bachelorette. I caught the elimination of one episode where the weatherman and Jesse got eliminated when we were in NYC. I'm like why eliminate that bo-hunky, bo-delicious specimen of manliness (speaking of Jesse here)? Poor weatherman, what are we going to do without his humorous forecast of the way his love life is going? Sure he was like a 7 year old in that department, kinda like the male version of Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed. Unfortunately, he didn't forecast that a tornado was going to eliminate him from the game. And come on Ali! She had all instincts that Kasey was a 100% goofball after he did count'em 3 songs which made one want to put their paws over their ears and howl. Gads! How embarrassing and goofy, he would have been so gone after the first song! And what's up with his voice, it's like he speaking through a paper cup, as evident when he was reciting his poem to her in Iceland. Doesn't Iceland look amazing? Put on bucket list. In Iceland, Ali was feeling like Kirk was hiding something from her, so when they had their one on one, he told her about his illness incurred from living with mold. Ali was like, whew, it's about a disease and not about woman problems. Gee I'm thinking the disease is worse. Although in this week's preview it looks like Kirk has a girlfriend, can it be?? I say, let the drama begin!

Looks like the front runners for Ali are Chris, Kirk, Roberto. My bet is for Roberto, can you say Rico Savvy?

And hey, during the two week episodes, didn't Justin look like the cat that ate the rat? He so has that Cheshire Cat eating grin when it came to Krazy Kasey and that hideous tattoo. Ya you called it right that he was faking that whole burn thing. Can only say one thing about Kasey, Koo Koo Krazy Kasey. Now go stalk someone else. Ali you should have gotten rid of him before you eliminated Jesse, you so knew something was off with him, instead you give him a second chance, was that the producer's idea, so you could get rid of him in a more dramatic way by leaving him stranded on a glacier? Another one bites the dust, or in this case ice.-Single D
