Monday, Back to Reality

Alright people, it's that time of the week...Bachelor time.
And, WOW, was this week a doozy. WHERE to BEGIN??

Hmm, let's start with the obvious emotional-set-up-for-Emily group date. A race track? REALLY?? Brad shouldn't have been the one feeling like a jerk. No, that would be the job of the producers for deliberately pulling on Emily's vulnerable heart-strings. Brad didn't have any idea, no. But the producers DEFINITELY did.
This leads me into the next point...Alli had some bad form in hating on the fact that Brad kept pulling Emily aside and talking to her. I mean really? You know the story, girl. He's just trying to figure out what to do with all of the information. By the way, I predict Emily is being sent home in the next two episodes.
What else?? Michelle. I mean, can there be a more awkward, venomous person? She inspires that sicky feeling you get after eating some bad take out. And Brad gets harder to read around here all the time. He looks scared, but then he makes out with her face like it's the last make-out sesh he's ever going to have. Confusing much? (or....producer placement...?)
Poor Ashley S. being sent home on the 2 on 1 date was so sad. The poor girl still has some grief issues to work through from her losing her dad. She's a perfectly lovely girl who WILL find someone who thinks she's precious, but her poor confidence has taken a beating after her leading man was taken from her life.

Now it's time for the "Kudos&K,what?" of the week.
KUDOS:
-Shawntel, for having the, uh, guts to tell Brad about her profession- and for her being 100% confident about it. Hey, it takes a special person to work in a funeral setting, and besides that detail she seems pretty normal!
-Emily, for driving the racecar anyway.
-The other girls (besides Michelle) for cheering for Emily when she drove the car anyway.
-The Aria Hotel in Vegas, for having a SPLENDID looking hotel room with absolutely amazing flowers and a stunning view. Seriously, I really want to go there.
-Britt and her really flattering red dress. I'm loving red lately, apparently.

K,WHAT?:
-Chantal, you get a couple tonight: 1) being so annoying and pushy and cry-y with Brad every time you get to see him? STOP WASTING TIME because he'd probably like you if you didn't act so needy. 2) Your dress at the cocktail party- really, them mesh with the cleavage was NOT flattering and looking more....shall I say...street walkerish. 3)"I didn't expect to have feelings like this..." REALLY? This is always my favorite line on the Bachelor. You went on a show...looking for love...and didn't expect to feel...LOVE!?
-Emily....your teeth. They are SO white, and..so..vivid...just a little too much of both. But you're still cute.
-Michelle. For everything. Everything you do I'm like WHAT in the WORLD!?
-Brad, for acting scared yet giving Michelle a rose, STILL.

Well that about wraps it up. Next week we head to Costa Rica...a dream destination of mine. Happy reading, blog friends and if your anywhere in the Midwest or Northeast, bundle up, it's gonna be a chilly one!

Monday, Back to Reality

Alright, Bachelor fans. Let's chat about this week's episode.
First of all, was anyone disappointed that Michelle's black eye turned out to be nothing but a burst blood vessel? Gotta love the teasers, y'all...

So here's a little section that I'm going to call "Kudos&K,what?" where we go over the good moments and the not so good moments.
Let's start with the "Kudos"...
-to Britt. Besides looking exactly like Brittany from Glee, she also really put herself out there and doesn't seem quite as fake as some girls. Although I don't think she'll end up with Brad, she was a breath of fresh air this ep.
-Chantal O. She is surprisingly growing on me (though she really needs to tone down the blush). I really liked how she and Brad seemed to hang out, not do all this uptight small talk business.
- Lindsay (home girl representin' Plano!) and her confident smile instead of a sad pity party when she was let go. She also happens to look just like Miss Texas from Miss Congeniality!
- EMILY'S SHOES...and her dress...okay, just Emily in particular. But seriously. her SHOES!? They were tall, glittery, fabulous-ness for the feet. If I find a picture posted online, I'll be sure to share it.

Now to the "K, what?"
-The Dr. Drew date...how was that fun for anyone?? Is he even a real doctor? Makes me think of those Dr. Pepper commercials...
-Brad to Michelle: "You're a mature woman...."; the dramatic irony in this show kills me. Does he have any idea what this girl says in her interviews and to other women? OF course not. Because then we wouldn't enjoy reality TV for what it is.
-Meghan's dresses...all of them. Remember the first night she showed up? In her foot-tall pink clunky platforms? For a fashion designer, hate to say, she had some pretty bad taste in what she wore. Her dresses were all too short and didn't flatter her figure at all! Look good in what fits you ladies!

The previews for next week look spicy!
Be sure to vote on the poll for who you'd like to see go next week!

We made it over Monday y'all!
