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!

Big Brother-Season 13

Or as it should be called the "Rachel and Brendon Show". Their fight last night took up at least 15 minutes of airtime. Do we really care about their fighting? And Rachel she pretends like she's crying but where are the tears? I was glad that she won, but she's so crazy when she doesn't get her way and goes off on the deep end. How are they going to survive marriage?

Leave it to the lovable airhead Jordan to figure out the luxury challenge and guess who the visiting star would be from 3 bars of soap and binoculars. Really, you get Baywatch out of that and David Hasselhoff? Guess she's like an idiot savant, can you say Rain Woman?

Jordan might have won the luxury challenge, but what was she thinking when she chose Kalia and Shelley to share in the luxury challenge of sharing sushi with the Hoff instead of inviting Rachel and Brandon. At least I thought she should have invited Rachel instead of Kalia.

Meanwhile, since Rachel's HOH she could have put Jordan and Jeff up for eviction instead she chickens out and puts up Dominic and Metal guy. Should be interesting to see if Dominic wins the veto.

The Bachelorette Hometown Dates

Pretty much the final four come from well established families. Ashley will have no problem marrying into money with any of these families. No dysfunction among the whole lot of them. If anything, looks like Ashley is the one whose family might be somewhat borderline, what with her sister covered in tats, not that that's a bad thing, but all the bachelor's families are pretty pristine and well established. Among the four of them, Ben, JP, Constantine and Ames, I liked Constantine's family. Welcome to my Big Fat Greek Family! What you no eat no meat? That's ok I make you lamb. (from my Big Fat Greek Wedding). I liked Ben's family lifestyle, Sonoma, wine country, heaven.

It was totally apparent that to Ames's family that there wasn't that strong of a connection between Ames and Ashley and when Ashley eliminated Ames, the look on his face, sheer confusion. He was stunned into a frozen smile, like he had been hit in the head again. He couldn't believe that she didn't call his name out. He looked pleading to Constantine, like what happening. Poor Ames, he's just odd, but in a good way. He's so smart and forward thinking. I loved the story he told Ashley on their date about magiaordinario, finding the magic in ordinary things. He is so sweet, but a little to stunted in social growth. Sorry to see you go Ames, someone will love that incredible brain, those bright white teeth and that wide smile, just not Ashley.

The Bachelorette Ashley-final four

I don't think I need to say anything more, see my previous post, that the final four were going to be JP, Constantine, Ben and Ames. Out of the four, I bet it will be between JP and Ben. I don't see Ashley having that great of a connection with Ames or Constantine. JP and Ben are totally invested in her. Go Ashley, let's hope she's over that whole Bentley thing because she has really great guys. Didn't you love Taiwan. Been to Hong Kong and Macau but missed Taiwan. I will have to make it a point to visit there next time. Loved the outtake of the dog peeing on Ashley's and Constantine's love lantern, way too funny. I want to go there and release a lantern in the sky like that, that was awesome!

Next week it's the hometown dates. My how this season has flown by. Next thing you know we will be reading about Ashley and her pick in People Magazine. As for that whole Emily and Brad fiasco, come on, I'm so over Brad, it's time to move on, enough is enough after the first Bachelor season with him and then Vienna and now Emily, he deserves to be alone, the guy obviously has commitment issues. So long Womack, time for you to leave for good.

Big Brother Season 13

Why it was just the other day when my daughter said that Big Brother hasn't aired and voila, there it was. Missed the first episode so I had to catch up online. Is this going to be a great season or what. All our favorites. Come on, I know you loved Rachel even if she does have that hideous laugh and Brendon (who spells their name that way, Brendon, ding dong), can't believe those two are still together, well yeah, he's a woosie. I love it that Jordan and Jeff are still together, they are America's cutest pair ever. And Evil Dick and Daniele, ok, I like Evil Dick but could barely remember Daniele, only that she won over her father. Too bad Evil Dick had to mysteriously leave which I thought was going to totally leave the veterans with a major handicap against the out numbered newbie, but how they managed to persuade Kalia and Shelly to vote off Keith was a shocker and help put the veterans in a sweet spot. I loved it that Jordan won the HOH to keep the veterans ruling the house. My daughter likes Dominic but he's too young and too arrogant for my taste. Of the newbies, I like Shelly and Lawon. Shelly seems down to earth and Lawon, come on, what not to like from that flaming diva. Of the veteran's, I want Rachel to win, if the newbies hold power, then let it be Lawon, the man could use the money to buy some new suits!

The Bachelorette-Bye Bye Bentley

Was that sweet satisfaction? After Ashley mooning over that no good dog Bentley, dubbed the most hated man in America (presently). Chris tells Ashley that Bentley has come to Hong Kong to settle Ashley's infatuation with him once and for all. Never mind that she is in Hong Kong, one of the world's most exciting cities, never mind that she still has a handful of great guys, never mind that she has JP! She still crying and saying Bentley over and over. When Chris tells Ashley that Bentley is in the hotel right now this very minute, Ashley is like really, no shut up, really, are you serious, is this a joke, seriously? Has Chris Hanson ever lied to you? Don't you think the producers are thinking this is dynamite TV? Chris coaches her that she needs to be firm, don't be vague, in other words get that schmuck to spill! Ashley composes herself, pauses in front of Bentley's room, acting like the foolish school girl that she is and knocks on his door. After she goes in for a welcome kiss, they sit opposite ends of the couch. She says when he left the show, all the other guys thought she was taking it hard because he left, but in reality it was so hard for her because of him, because she fell hard and because of the dot dot dot. Bentley's ego is inflated (more). Is there a dot dot dot? To which he says, I would implore you to see what you have here since I'm there and it doesn't look good. She says so this is a period? Finally she says you came all the way here to tell me that, well you should had called (do I sense a spark of venom?). Why call when you can get a free trip? After she left his room, I was hoping they put him back on a plane post haste.

Ashley finally realizes that he's a player and she's been played, so "Bentley, if you are watching...F----You, I'm done" Strong words considering that their conversation ended pretty mildly. But in the end, we felt vindicated, relieved that the girl came to her senses! When she tells JP the first to know of that whole Bentley scene he's understanding, what's not to love about him, sensitive and good looking! When she decides to tell the other guys during the rose ceremony, talk about cat fight, the man claws came out, Ashley was raked over the coals for her confession that she was smitten to the core for Bentley. Lucas was particularly angry and unforgiving, too bad he already had a rose, because I thought he should have left and might have just like Mickey did. I loved Ashley's quick thinking when Mickey said to get rid of me tonight and Ashley said well you have to make that choice yourself which he did on the next saipan out. Ashley was pretty beat up, did she deserve it, yes, but hey guys, it's TV, she didn't kill your mother, loosen up! She sends Blake home as well, as he too voiced loudly his disdain for her indiscretion.

The Bachelorette-Still In Thailand Still Mooning Over Bentley

I counted how many times Ashley said Bentley during last night's episode, at least 12 times. That's twice every ten minutes. Come on Ashley, mooning over someone doesn't look good on you, especially when smiling is her best asset. She's not a great beauty, but she does look cute when she's upbeat and smiling. Since Bentley has left she has been reserved and sour. She's so insecure that when she heard from Will (how did he become the trusted one?) told her that Ben C. was already planning to do online dating, she went ballistic and fired him on the spot, you're fired (oh that's Celebrity Apprentice). Well she said no rose for you so off with you NOW! Leaving him little chance of defending himself or explaining (probably an innocent remark told in jest), but leave it to that weasel Will and he's become the biggest weasel since that whole roast fiasco. Will smugly smiling that his plan worked and he outed the other guy on the two will go, one will stay date. Little did he know, when he said, he likes being a kid, that sealed his fate with Ashley, which she probably had her mind made up already anyway that he wasn't getting the rose after all, so bye bye. What woman wants a kid anyway? Hear that men, we don't want to mother kids, we want REAL men! Smart men, funny men, successful men, not boys. Will definitely has a lot of growing up to do, once in the limo, he said he was going back into his dark place since he's such a loser. Ya think, two words Will, Grow Up!

I was hoping she would give Ames the rose, since he took a concussion for her during all that Thai boxing stuff. Hey a person could die from a blow to the head, remember Natasha Richardson? Even when he came back to the group he was still his funny gentlemanly self. I liked that. He ranked high on the brownie scale. Not much of a fighter, more of a poet, how romantic. Smart and funny, so why is she still whining over Bentley, so much so, she tells Chris she needs closure with him, so what are they going to do, but bring him back for a free trip to Hong Kong. I hope the guys stage a protest and do a group walk out that would serve her right. And hey, hottie, JP, you can call me anytime. Bentley has nothing over you!

Chaing Mai, Thailand, put on bucket list!

Bachelorette Ashley in Thailand

I was trying to count how many times Ashley said Bentley's name. Seriously! Every other word out of her mouth was Bentley. She has so many great guys. What I wouldn't give! Finally we get to see what the other guys are like. JP is still a hot cutie in my opinion and I would right there and then crown him the winner, until Ashley had her date with Ames. Who knew, he's so funny and smart, two things that are SO important in my book. Ben F seems really nice and sweet, who doesn't love a guy that paints elephants? Doesn't Thailand look amazing! Put on bucket list. Didn't the navigator's (concierge everywhere else) accent remind of you of "love you long time, sailor?"

I loved when Ashley and Ames were kayaking though the tall outcropping islands, how romantic, even though Ashley confessed she was still thinking of Bentley. Come on, will someone drop a rock on her. Wake up get a life! The guys are ganging up on Ryan, mister, I can't help it if I'm happy all the time, maybe I should get mad because it's raining he says with a big grin. He's like the dwarfs Dopey and Happy all in one. Not sure if he's for real, but he does seem like he has a lot on the ball. In the first episode I was so smitten with Will, but now he looks like a snotty nose seven year old, the last kid to get picked on the softball team. She should have sent him home along with West. Poor West, good choice to send him home, don't think he's ready for commitment after losing his wife and who, as Ashley says, wants to fill those shoes.

Alas, please don't tell me Bentley makes a come back next week. Cripes! Ashley will be a total wreck if he comes back and then the guys should walk out in mass, would serve her right!

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.
