One, Two, Three Strikes Your Out!!!

The Bachelor/ Puerto Rico....

Well this week's episode starts out with Nicki having the first group date, nothing to exciting here fun date in the rain they get along well, I like her. Kind of boring but potential. Done!

The group date....Let's Play Ball

The girls were split into two teams to play a 2 inning game.  Winners get more date time w/ Ben.

This intense game was a nail biter down to the end where the game rested on poor Jennifer's shoulders.  Jennifer couldn't even manage a hit girl strikes out..horrifying defeat.  Even Ben said this was probably like losing the World Series...um I don't think so.  The crying afterwards  was comical, these girls were devastated like they had worked their asses off and this was the big game.  The crying on the bus is what makes this show amazing. A bunch of grown woman balling their faces off.  This is great tv.

Casey B. is still one of my favorites but can we please do something with the poodle that is on top of her head.  Blow out your hair!!!!

Elyse got the next date card...oh poor Elyse with her neon orange nails to match her dress.  We just knew this date was not going to end up well.  But why oh why did Ben pick up the rose only to tell her she was going home.  Cruel Ben...your being mean!!  Guess it's time for Elyse to collect unemployement .  Sorry!

Now on to Courtney/Sybil and her uber confidence and shit-eating grin..when all else fails and you need attention using your naked body to lure a man in works almost everytime.  I completely understand using anytime you can to spend time with Ben but Courtney/Sybil is the type of girl that has to rely on using her looks and and body to manipulate and catch a man's attention. Her facial expressions are cringe-worthy.  I just hope that when Ben is watching these episodes he cringes in embarassement like we all do watching this.  But what I really want to know is what the hell is wrong with her mouth??

Emily...I get what you are trying to accomplish, showing Ben what a complete nightmare Courtney/Sybil is and I would want to do the same but Ben has been sucked into her web and his "guilt" over skinny dipping makes him warm Emily to "Tread lightly, and Be careful".  I think at this point I would like to tell Ben to F@!$ Off!!!

Rose Ceremony..to begin with what the hell is Jaime wearing, it looks like an 80"s prom dress.  Oh and by the way who is Jaime and has she been on this show from the start.  I have to admit I was thrown when Ben sent Jennifer home this early.  It seemed like they had a connection and the fact that he kept a girl that I don't think I have seen him interact with at all seemed bizarre.  Poor Jennifer was gracious to his face but she was a blubbering mess in the limo.  The limo rides for me I think will always be the most humiliating part for all these girls to watch after the fact.  They are always crying talking about how they can't find love and he was the one.  Kind of the way we girls acted in 7th grade.


Previews for the next couple of weeks looks exciting, will the girls finally get through to Ben about Courtney?


Can't wait to find out.

David Blaine

As I mentioned in my into blog there are certain things in my life that I am passionate about..well one of them at one time was David Blaine.  Yup, David Blaine the magician.  Flashback to November 27, 2000 ( this is dating me) I was working at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square.  It was announced that a Magician David Blaine would be having an event called "Frozen in Time".  I was intrigued.  David was going to be put in a block of ice outside ABC Studies which was next door to my building.  Well I looked up David Blaine thought he was cute and decided I had to see this for my own eyes.

David was going to be in a block of ice and try to stay in there for 72 hours, he was only going to have 6 inches all around him to move....this was going to be awesome.  So on the day of the event I of course dragged my friend Lynn with me to check this out.  This was going to be one of my many visits to David while i chain smoked.  So Lynn and I went over and there he was...in his icy prison.  I was instantly connected to David (kind of like imprinting...if you know what that means)!!!

In the next 63 hours, 42 minutes and 15 seconds that David lasted in this icy prison I would visit him a couple of times a day, just smoking and looking at him.  I swear I felt like he knew I was there and that he was looking at me too.  I of course dragged Lynn with me most of the time, I can't remember if she actually cared about David like I did but I knew she knew how important he was to me.  Even as I sat at my desk working I knew he was in there, cold and alone.  So I assumed that if I kept going back and he saw a familiar face he could make his goal.  This was probably b/c I was so satisfied at my job that some weirdo magician would occupy my every thought.

David started struggling at the 63 hour mark and they had to cut him from the ice...I was frantic he was wrapped in towels and delirious.  They had to take him away in an ambulance to make sure he wasn't going into shock.  Thankfully he recovered and thus began my obsession with everything David Blaine.

As the years went by David started fading from my radar but at that time he was one of those things that if blogging was around back then you would be reading about him everyday instead of The Bachelor.

Lynn may recall some of these details better than me since I believe her brain retains every conversation and event that we have been through together for the last 13 years we have been friends.

Below are some photos of David from "Frozen in Time" and what i looked at for 63 hours...

Ellen Knows Best!!

At this point we don't know who Bachelor Ben has chosen but if intuition is correct my guess is on Courtney/Sybil.  Ben taped the Ellen show and she had no issues telling him her thoughts on this vile creature...

If you missed Monday's episode of The Bachelor, then you missed a good two hours of drama, tears, surprises and—thanks to Courtney—witnessing how manipulative a woman can be when competing for love.

Ellen DeGeneres seemed to catch last night's show, and she had a few words to share with Ben Flajnik (airing tomorrow) about that model from Santa Monica...

"Speaking of reassurance, last week…Courtney," Ellen said to Ben. "She manipulated you to try and get that rose because she said, 'Oh, I don't know how I feel.' Then you went and got the rose and gave it to her. That was not right."

And judging by the amount of applause, the audience agreed with her.

Ellen continued with, "She may be a lovely person and you're probably engaged to her, but the thing is, the way that it was edited she came off not nice…and I could be wrong. It's not fair to judge someone like that, but she was just playing you...man. She was playing you. Saying all the things you wanted to hear."

Word, sista! Unfortunately, Ben can't comment on any of this because the show is still going on (he didn't even give anything away with his face. Darn!) and although the fact that it must be "exciting" that Courtney's a model, Flajnik shared, "I told my mom and my sister before this thing started, I didn't want the models and the L.A… and that kind of stuff. So that was one of the hurdles."

Another hurdle? Not being able to see what was going on with the girls when he wasn't around.

"You never know what's going on, on that side. You never know who to trust. Like you said earlier backstage. You wish there was a mole. Yeah, it would be nice if there were a mole back there."

Luckily, Ellen's got his back, "All right, I'm going to find you a nice girl because that didn't work."

Saddle Up

After tonight's episode it has come to my realization that Ben is not as sweet as I first thought. As crushed as he and I was when troll Ashley broke our hearts and crushed his soul he has a bit of a conceited attitude about him.  His aloof attitude with Samantha as nutty as she was showed that he wants to make sure he is in charge. Not that Samantha was even significant in Ben's journey for love.  Bye Samantha!!

Courtney/Sybil and her multiple personality disorder gets the freaking group date rose. Why because she feigned insecurity which we know is a complete and utter display of poor acting which foolish Ben played right into. Seriously this girl dated jesse Metcalfe, and her using the term "winning" makes her seem so much more of a loser.  But part of me after tonights episode thinks that Ben may have that cockiness in him that may match hers and thats why he keeps her. Ben is dumb. It hurts me to say this because the Ben that I fell in love with in The Bachlorette is a bit different then Ben the Bachelor. I can honestly say if I was in this house with Courtney/Sybil Ben would probably kick my ass out of the house because I would have no choice but smack that crooked ass smile off her fake face.

Kacie B. is sweet and at this point she is my favorite, I find her normal and sincere and if "Bachlorette" Ben still exists I feel like she is the perfect girl for him.

Poor Emily, she wasted her one on one time with Ben to bitch about Courtney/Sybil and dumb Ben didn't seem to care.  Wasn't the smartest move but then again I don't think intelligence is measured when auditioning for this show.

Next weeks episode looks oh so scandalous with Ben's naked ass and Courtney/Sybil using her "brain" to lure him in.

The Bachelor 16 - episode 3. San Francisco treats!

Unfortunately with my trip to Arizona, I didn't get to update my blog for episode 3 last week.  Arizona in January supposed to be a treat...you would think.  I proceeded to get food poisoning and spent a good part of my trip holed up in my hotel room watching SAY YES TO THE DRESS!!!


After basically puking on myself and everywhere else and flying in a tiny sardine can on the way home in horrendous turbulence, I am back and ready for tonight's episode.


A quick recap of last week's episode..
Ahhh where to begin..episode 3 of this shit show called The Bachelor - the show where true love is found and everyone is there for the right reason of course.


  What I can say quickly about this episode is climbing the Bay Bridge for a kiss doesn't seem like a fair trade off, maybe throw in a bloomingdales gift card and I would have made the effort.


I love watching catty girls, and seeing their reactions when Shawntel came in was like being in the locker room in junior high when the class slut walked in.  That being said Courtney is vile and I will refer to her as Sybil from now on!!


Thank god is Monday!

The Bachelor..A Guilty Pleasure or Punishment

So The Bachelor season 16 started last week and I have to admit, I AM ADDICTED!!!  I only started watching this series last summer when annoying Ashley was the Bachlorette.  This show is by far one of the worst trainwrecks I have ever seen.  Ultimately Ashley let Ben get down on one knee and propose to her, even allowing him to stay kneeling while she pondered his proposal.  She then like a stammering moron told him she wasn't going to accept his proposal.  Ben as well as myself was quite outraged by her annoying pretend speech and I loved how Ben basically told her off.  In the end I decided she was a whiny, annoying stupid girl whom was not even a close match for Ben.

Why I am watching Bachelor 16, simple because of Ben and also because I can admit it makes me feel better to watch these girls make such fools of themselves on television.  Nothing like watching a tv show that you have to cover your eyes because you can't bare to actually witness the utter humiliation that these girls bring upon themselves.

Like giddy teenagers my sister-in -law and I got ourselves situated on the couch for the premiere.  (The only good thing about Mondays mind you). As we watched them replay over and over Ben's failed proposal to Ashley it re-ignited my hatred for her and my undying love for this "show".  We got to meet Ben's 25 potential ex-fiance's, listen to the obnoxious music in the background and in my favorite part of the show JENNA, the reason it sometimes is humiliating to be a female.  I also already determined that I dislike model Courtney (not because she is pretty), because she is a smirky bitch.  Some may say one bitch hates another bitch, but I like to believe that I'm a light-hearted friendly bitch.  

At the end of the premiere we watched the scenes for the upcoming season and I felt a new passion for life, something to make me feel like every Monday is Christmas morning.

Which brought us to last night, episode 2.  Again like schoolgirls we nestled in our positions on the couch and began the next chapter.  I like Kacie, cute girl, cute date.  Blakely is determined kudos to her but she reminds me of a man, The group date, kids involved - pass, I don't watch horrendous reality tv to see kids, I see them everyday in my own house - go away!  Courtney again, so stuck up and full of herself, actual hate. And I have this sinking gut feeling Ben will choose her and the respect I thought I had for him will be flushed down the toilet like the tampon Jenna wanted to share with Monica.

Jenna having a nervous breakdown, unable to spit out and sort of English was one of my cover my eye moments.  This girl has serious issues and I don't know how Ben was able to not laugh in her face. "I'm not a girl",  umm oops your on the wrong show then sweets.  Her pained expressions and completely frazzled looks reminds me of what most of us girls look like on a Sunday morning after a bender.  Good Riddance Jenna!!

So upward and onward to more awkward mind-blowing television.  I swear I feel smarter after every episode!!
