The Bachelor

Oh man, tonight's episode was a doozy! Best quote of the night? When Chris Harrison says "the final rose ceremony....when Hillary loses her mind!" lol!

Let's start from the beginning. Bettina's date--still having a hard time getting past her stringy hair. But I didn't think there was that much chemistry between she and Brad, to be honest. I mean, they didn't even kiss! Compared to the other kisses he has had, it seems weird that they didn't get it on! And her comment about how her date sucked....that was lame. Who would say that? in fact, I kind of thought their date was just a bit more real, a bit more down to earth....well, except for the diamond earring part....I would have been pretty T.O.'d about that!

The group date seemed fun, but how lame is Kristi? Seriously, I don't think she got one second of speaking air time this episode. Poor girl....i chalk up her stand-offishness to her bikini--perhaps she didn't feel comfortable running and baring it all sliding down a slip-n-slide. Standing in a bathing suit next to those other 3 girls, you better believe I would have stood perfectly still, sipping my champagne, holding my gut in, and flexing every muscle in my body in an attempt to ward off "the jiggle." And as for Jenny and Brad disappearing to make out in a hammock, sucks to be the other 3 girls just sitting there, knowing they are getting it on.

Ok, on to Sheena's date. Oh her fall....how humiliating! Jim and I rewound it to see Brad's face when she fell....Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman would have never fallen! :) I like Sheena, i guess. She didn't wow me, but the date convo didn't consist of much more than all their remarks about how romantic their surroundings were. And i think balloons are a little cheesy--they remind me of all the wedding receptions i went to in Utah where they tried to convert the cultural hall into some mystical, fairy tale setting....which usually involved throwing up a few white picket fences and stringing balloon arches from one basketball standard to the other.

And finally, Hillary. Oh Hillary.....bless your heart. How can a girl be so dense?? But in her defense, I don't really think Brad was really "shooting her straight" or whatever he kept saying at the rose ceremony. I thought that little speech of his was a bit ambiguous...but to see him say, "I just want to be friends" and she responds with "You should be my friend, lover, husband, and father of my children" was just too much! And at the end, when she was hyperventilating? that was probably because her white dress was crushing her boobs!! But I could go on and on.....what was all that nonsense about Brad going home to shake her dad's hand, and how she wanted her dad to be proud of her....really Hillary? You think your dad would have been proud of you hearing that string of dirty expletives you used describing all the things you wanted Brad to do to you?! Maybe I'm naive, but my imagination couldn't even conjur up what she may have been saying! But her sobbing....it's called dignity....preserve what little you have left and just shut your mouth! But Brad was such a stand-up guy to go outside and comfort her! When he walked toward her and beckoned her, saying "come here, please" he won serious points in my book. But then the poor girl just gushed on and on, while her mascara pooled in black rings around her eyes. It was bad....just plain bad.

So as of now I'm not in love with any of the girls. Most of you will probably disagree, but i sort of like DeAnna again. I think she is so pretty....and I thought the conversation about her butt was great--gotta love the flirtatious banter, right? And Bettina's hometown date looks like a train wreck....

Oh man, I just can't wait until next week!

and p.s. Yes, i am a big fan of using ellipses ...
