Bachelor Review (possible spoilers)

So I am just now watching last night's episode since DH have shows we both watch on Monday night.  Here are my thoughts in all their randomness.  I apologize in advance for not knowing anyone's names.  I rarely learn them until the final episodes...

1.  The bridge walk - I call BS on the kiss on the bridge.  When she said that she completely forgot where she was when he kissed her is crap.  DH is terrified of heights.  I know he loves me but there is no kiss I could give him that would make him forget he's on a skinny ledge on a bridge waaaaaay up in the air.

2.  There are always fireworks when I kiss Ben but now there were actual Fireworks.  ACK!  Also, you've kissed him maybe 3 times?  To say when you "always" kiss him makes it sound like you've been kissing him for years.

3.  Skiing in bikins.  REALLY?!  I think the Bachelor has officially jumped the shark.  I'd be super creeped out if randoms were taking pictures of me in my bikini.  Not to mention if you biff it and you pop out of your top!  GAH!

4.  I think Kacie B is so cute :)

5.  I hate how everyone is getting all mad about Brittney.  There is no way she could have known how she would feel being there until she was actually there.  It's better she leave now than pursue it further.  Unless she ends up being the girl that comes back later in the episode Surprised

6.  I like Ben because he seems like the most down to earth and "real" bachelor they've had but at the same time, he's kinda boring.  He also needs a haircut.

7.  Lyndzi - you bother me.  I don't believe your text message dumping.  That is very 5th grade and very much along the lines of what we used to say "black is black, blue is blue, trash is dumped and so are you."  Also, I hate when people say "I'm glad it happened to me"  No you're not, you're just trying to make a sucky situation a little better.

8.  Is the chick that comes back the blogger?!  She would be psycho enough to come back.

This is completely random but I really don't think Todd would choose me if we were on this show.  Then again, he doesn't really like people so he wouldn't go on this show to begin with.  Nor do I think we would be paired up if we did an online dating thing.

9.  OMG that library is amazing.  I want it.  And I want books to fill it all so I can read them all.  Oh I'm such a nerd.

10.  Who the F is the mystery chick?  Brad Womack's castoffs?  Join the club, there's at least 3 of them now.

11.  WHAT?!  It's Shawntel?!  SUPER creepy Chantal.  Maybe because she works with dead people, she doesn't understand normal behavior.  Also, does she even know Ben or does she just want to be with him the rest of her life because she's seen him on TV and thinks she loves him.

12.  The model is annoying and has super weird mannerisms.  And I don't think it's just her being biitchy, I think she's just odd... and a biitch.

13.  I'm getting mad at the girls getting mad at Shawntel saying "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM!?!"  "How do you know you want to date him, YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!"  Um hi hypocrite, neither do you.

14.  Also hearing them say "You were dumped on your season, move on with your life!"  Seriously?!  BEN WAS A CASTOFF TOO!  Ahhh I seriously want to yell at the TV right now.

15.  Say it with me folks:  waterproof mascara.  Why would you go on this show without it?  EVERYONE cries (and I would not be exempt.  I cry at the drop of a hat.)

16.  It is not Shawntel's fault that the chick fainted.  It's interesting how now no one cares about Blakely.  How funny will it be if the fainting girl doesn't get a rose!  SLAP IN THE FACE!  Usually the people who get hurt always get a pity rose.

17.  OH SNAP!  No one gets the rose.

18.  The model is so weird.  Saying sayanara to Shawntel?  Super odd.

Ok so those are my super random thoughts on last night's episode.  What does everyone else think?

  • agree. with every single comment.

    I like Lyndzi, but: i think her text message story is ridiculous too

    Liz, I also agree with your comments. Brad gave me the heebie jeebies so I didn't watch his season and had no idea who Shawntel was. Not sure if it was the editing, creepy music, or odd angles they shot her from, but she seemed like a crazy stalker. It's amazing how girls can hate each others guts one minute and then band together as an army the next once someone new comes into the mix and threatens them. Reminds me of when a new girl would join our class half way through the semester. The girls last night looked like a bunch of whiny high school kids. Oh and someone get Ben a haircut. Please.
  • Does anyone ready realitysteve.com. He is a blogger that some how always knows what is going to happen. He has all the spoiler episode by episode on his site, including the winner. Don't look if you don't want to know. 

    I know eveyrthing that is going to happen and it almost makes it more fun to watch sometimes.

  • Agree completely.

    If I was on that bridge date, I would have been a hysterical mess. A friggin' kiss wouldn't suddenly fix my fear of heights. You would have to physically force me up the walkway. (I know, I'm a huge wuss.)
    I hope that Ben heard or saw some of the cattiness that was going on when Shawntel was there. Some of those girls should calm down. They met him, what...2 weeks ago? They have no room to talk about "knowing" him. And as for Ben's Hair-ugh. Cut it, shave it...BRUSH it. My goodness. It looks just plain awful. 

    This weeks episode just irritated me.

    I used to really like Shawntel on Brad's season (I think anway).  Until she took him to the funeral home on her hometown date.  And had him lay down on an embalming table and explained what all the instruments were for.  As in "this one sucks out all of your blood."  Super awkward and creepy.

    And I completely agree that it was all very highschool the way they were behaving.  Not that I'm surprised.

    Honestly, I don't know why I like this show so much.  I really don't.  I say it every season but it sucks me back in!  Maybe I just have a thin for Chris Harrison <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />
  • LOTON - no spoilers for me :)  Although I'm tempted to look sometimes but I like the anticipation of it.

    Klyn - My mom hopes he saw all the cattiness too! (we just discussed the episode for like half an hour.)  She hopes he will finally see how fake some of the girls are so he can make "better decisions" (her words.)  I am impressed he didn't keep Shawntel though.  Although I think he was super creeped out that she came to see him.
  • I missed last nights episode and forgot to DVR it. I really liked Shawntel on Brads season until hometown dates, she super creeped me out and obviously super creeped Brad out too. I guess she had to show him that stuff though, if they did get married and she comes home from work, is she not supposed to talk about her job? She did go too far though.

    I totally read the spoilers. It does make things a lot more enjoyable to watch!
