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!
