Istanbul? Where even is Istanbul?

I must say, they're picking the oddest locations this season, Iceland, and Istanbul aren't exactly first on my list of places to go see... but whatever floats your boat Ali!

We all know by now, that unless you see Chris Harrison at Rose Ceremonies, then he's usually the bearer of bad news.

Question of the day is "how does former Bachelor contestant Jessie know the wrestler's girlfriend Jessica?" I mean just because they're both from Canada doesn't really mean anything... Canada is a pretty big freaking country.

I did like how they kept Ali in the dark, it caused for some great tension. I do think it was very convenient that the Bachelor crew was there to tape her crying her eyes out to Ali over the phone.

I must say "YOU GO GIRL!" To Ali. Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman... is that the saying? And The Wrestler obviously showed his true colors by running out the door saying "f-you!" You looked so cute in your Ed Hardy hat and sweat pants, getting turned away from the locked glass restaurant doors.

I must say, great great editing technique getting the voice mails from the Wrestler's girlfriend and putting them in. They went one step past the Wes debacle and got evidence. Smooth move producers!

Watching Ali in the Turkish bath with Ty proves why women aren't allowed in there... that would just be like a super awkward Turkish bath house orgy. I bet the Turkish people weren't happy to see this side of their "bath house."

ABC makes a lot of things obvious... like her reasoning to let Craig go was obvious in this one. With all the "I'm confident we had a connection..." interviews with him, or the excessive number of cutaway reaction shots of him.

Did anyone else notice that Kirk's tie wasn't straight? Hahaha.

Honestly, I don't really see her with Frank or Ty. So therefore the decision I want in the final 3 is Chris, Kirk, and Roberto, but I don't think that it goes that way. I really like Chris I've decided.

Did anyone notice how much they gave away in the end teaser for next week's episode? Final four is obviously Frank, Roberto, Ty and probably Kirk (though they didn't show the 4th.)

Then obviously the final 3 is Roberto, Ty, and Frank. Frank breaks her heart probably by telling her he's still in love with his ex. So then it's down to Ty and Roberto and there's a v.o. of Ty saying she made a mistake, so it's obviously Roberto who is picked. Damn ABC, way to give it ALL away.

Isn't Iceland Green and Greenland Ice?

Well first off, interesting choice in Iceland, didn't they chose to go at the time when all the flights were grounded? I'm surprised they didn't get stuck!

I think I decided Kasey sounds like Kermit, and either Kasey is banging it in the ground and being repetitive by saying "guarding and protecting your heart" or the editing is using the same sound bite. Either way, it's getting old.

Chris N. should've probably written his poem down. I guess he doesn't speak much, so it's not new for him to forget things. As my sister pointed out, as soon as they feature someone in an episode and they get air time, is usually when they oust them. This was the case with Chris N.

I must say, Kirk and Ali picked a still very feminine pattern. Very interesting story about asbestos poisoning. I didn't know you could live in a place for a year and a half after it being deemed unlivable because of health code violations. Didn't he have any roommates that had health issues too? Interesting...

Icelandic Cowboys... interesting. The cave was a pretty cool date to get out and doing things, and at the end of the night the frozen rose was pretty tight looking.

Kasey finally succeeded in freaking Ali out with his tattoo. She was like freaking out inside, but smiling and probably thinking in her head "WHAT THE HELL!!!" If it wasn't for that tattoo... Kasey probably would've stayed over Justin.

Has anyone noticed how Justin looks like pure evil, that look on his face is just so UGH! So smug! We've definitely got another Wes on our hands. The producers realized what gold that made in ratings, and wanted to repeat it I bet!

When Chris N. got kicked off, I thought it was so funny how he said he was "at a loss for words." Dude, you never had words! You hardly ever spoke! You're the most forgettable bachelor ever!

Super excited for next week, it looks like a drama packed episode, I cannot wait!

OH! I almost forgot... FINALLY Vienna and Jake broke up. Apparently she broke up with him, and cheated on him... surprise?

Tattoos, awful singing, and lots of guitars

First off, I'd like to commend the producers on a good way to get some publicity for the show by partnering up with In Style for the spread.

Interesting how they're getting away from cramping people up in a house and "traveling the world." It's like these dates become more and more elaborate in more and more exotic places, and is real life dating like this? Absolutely not... so what happens when the trips are gone? It's boring and you don't really like each other.

I do like Chris L's commentary on "unicorn love" I was dying laughing when he was describing how romantic Casey is.

Ali sure has done a lot of flying for this season for being a girl who is afraid of flying.

Casey, your voice is weird enough and singing only makes it worse! But I loved how they just cut to commercial after he sang to Ali the first time and she just looked so confused!

These guys get super excited about these dates, all high-fiving and cheering and whatnot. It's like a touchdown in a football game, except it's a date with Ali. I mean I guess what else do you really have to look forward to in your day?

Is this the first time in the Bachelor franchise history that they've let someone stay after the one-on-one date w/o receiving a rose?

Roberto and Ali's "Broadway Performance" I mean really? That didn't take much talent or practice, I'm almost positive that was built into the show just for them... and it was only like 2 seconds long and they got to be apart of the Curtain call, isn't the curtain call meant for like bigger characters?

I was digging Jesse, and his signing voice really wasn't that bad! I also like Chris L, he does seem really down to earth, but I don't think Ali is gonna see him as much more than a friend.

Ali your style is all over the face, last week the frumpy ball gown, this week the slutty jumpsuit?

I am soooo sick of people playing guitar on the show.

Did anyone see that one dude at all? The Ryan look alike, I don't know his name he had no interviews they didn't feature his one on one time with her, he's obviously gone. Haha. He just listens to people, oh wait I heard him speak! Talking to Justin.

Frank just saved Kasey, hahahaha. Sour patch kids, good... tattoo, bad.

I guess the Ryan look alike's name is Chris N... I didn't see him AT ALL this episode, haha.

DANNNGGGG she got rid of Jesse?!?!?! I liked him, it's okay I'll take her sloppy seconds. Maybe he'd like another blond "Alli" except he doesn't want a city girl.

Another one bites the dust...

Ok, so this week I'm at home in Cincinnati, and mom forgot to record the beginning so we missed Roberto's one on one. From what I heard it was a good date, obviously he got the rose. My sister and dad call him Alejandro like from Lady Gaga's song (yes my dad listens to Gaga), so that's his new name... Alejandro.

I'm trying not to read the spoilers because I got super depressed last season when I found out Vienna won.

I really don't have much to say about the group date, other than the fact that the music video sucked. I mean I guess it's hard to find a concept to include all 12(?) guys... but I mean it just looked like crap.

So, onto Hunter's date. ABC is getting really bad at hiding what is going to happen or building it up so that you don't know... we ALL knew Hunter was getting the ax. He was just awkward. Doesn't he look a little like Jeff from Celebrity Rehab?

So, onto the Rose ceremony. Ty... you totally have a who nose (like from the Grinch Stole Christmas.) And why do they ALWAYS gang up on somebody with "bad intentions." I guess it's apart of ABC's formula to put someone in there who is questionable and the guys who sit around and have nothing to do but think about it, come up with the idea that they're there for the wrong reasons. Then again, I guess people are just really scared after Wes and all the B.S. he pulled.

I did find it funny that when just walked in... no hobbled in... on the guys talking about him he said he was "getting really pissed off here..." does that mean you're gonna get "Rated-R on their asses?" Haha.

Jesse, you're super cute, but the jean on jean get up? Really? I know you have ONE suit but use it in pieces. The pants one day, the jacket another. Or could the producers please go out and buy him some more clothes?

Ok, cry count for this episode:
4!

Justin cried twice, once in the hot tub explaining how he's here for Ali, and once when he found out the guys didn't like him and he's an outcast... boo hoo.

Weatherman, once. When filming cause he was embarrassed about kissing a girl.

Cleveland, once. When he left, I mean really dude, you're from Cleveland... we all knew she was gonna cut you. Haha.

I've decided Justin is the new Vienna, which is ironic because of how much Ali hated Vienna.

I think I like Roberto, and maybe Kirk, and Jesse. STILL haven't made my final decision though.

Dream Dates

So this is my question... when the show is over, and ABC isn't footing the bill for your dates, what do you really do?

But I must say, really ABC? The car died? You must be on a low budget, or your transportation coordinator didn't do their job... which means someone is getting fired. You couldn't get another cool car? You had to get a cab? It was like the worst cab too, it was like a minivan! But the Hollywood sign was pretty tight.

Ok, so the group date, the speedos were a great way to weed who out would do anything for Ali. But come on, this really isn't a "for charity" date. It wasn't like you were working at a soup kitchen, you were on a beach in Malibu doing a photoshoot, that's not really hard work. And honestly, do we have ANOTHER Wes on our hands with Ty? I'm so over the guitar playing southern boy... seriously.

"I'm a brown belt... I'll just put my hand in your face..." really weatherman? I can't help but to love how nerdy you are, but you're gonna be her best friend, not her boyfriend. And it would've sounded a lot cooler if you were like a 5th degree black belt or something.

I like Jesse a lot... and his tats are SUPER sexy. He's from MO so he's got that midwestern vibe but he whipped out some surfer/skater lingo... which was weird.

Craig you're a total creeper... you've got some CRAZY eyes going on. What an akward conversation with Ali, I mean did you really think she was gonna keep you when you never once said you wanted to get to know her? Really? Thank God you're gone... I'm actually surprised ABC didn't make Ali keep you around for the drama, I guess they got one good episode out of you.

Does anyone else think Chris M looks like Ryan, from Trista and Ryan?

Ok, well I STILL have yet to pick a favorite... no one is really a total package. We'll see!

First Impressions

Ok, so these are just my thoughts about the first impressions the guys on Bachelorette made. I have yet to pick my favorites, and just because I'm making fun of them, does NOT mean I don't like them. These are the first impressions they made on me, and if I don't mention them, obviously they didn't make much of an impression on me. So here it goes.

Jesse: Where do all these guys come up with these lines? How long does it take for them to think of these one liners? "Peculiar" man? But I must admit you're super sexy.

Ali: You look super nervous, and that jewel on the ass of your dress is not flattering.

Frank: You're too much, please stop, take a riddilin or an adderall or something to tone it down a notch.

How many crazy Canadians are there? 3?

Justin - "Rated - R" really? You totally stole the "jabroni" thing from Hulk Hogan, get a new line.

Jay - You're a total creeper.

When guys come on here and it says "entrepreneur" what does that mean? Honestly?

Kasey- You're so sexy, but your voice... it's super weird. Did you get hit in the throat or have a tracheotomy? You sound like a muppet.

Kyle - "Outdoorsman" wtf, how do you support yourself, by ice fishing? It means you're a loser with no job who camps and fishes all day. I think you'd be a perfect match for Sarah Palin's daughter.

Craig - Way to open up an old wound with the Vienna comment, and did you really say "cheers"?

Tyler V. - You kinda have a case of gay face. John H. does too!

Jonathan- LOVE the suit tie combo, you're obviously a weatherman.

Steve- You're from Cleveland, which probably makes you a Browns fan, which means I automatically don't like you.

Kirk- For a second I thought you were another one with a weird voice. You're super sexy but unoriginal with giving her a paper rose... you won back some originality points with the scrapbook though.

Tyler M- With the cowboy boots, are you gonna be the next Wes? And who the hell was wearing cowboy boots when they got out of the limo to meet Jake? You're obviously not that observant.

Hunter- Nice pick up line, "I have to go pee." What're you, 5?

Phil- I loved Phil for some reason I don't know why.

A lot of these guys seem gay, where did they get them? Now I know why they're single.

Shooter? You've gotta be the dumbest guy ever. I can't believe you told her you were worse that an 2 pump chump.

Ok, so those are my thoughts, have yet to pick a favorite.

I'm a TV junkie

So Kelly Cutrone (if you don't know who that is, you should look her up) came to SCAD and she gave us all one piece of advice, to Blog. So we all jumped on that bandwagon. It's taken me awhile to figure out what I want to blog about... I was thinking one of two things. I'm a TV major, and I watch A LOT of TV. I also am really into sports. So this blog will mainly be about the TV I'm watching but I'll throw a little bit of Cincinnati Bengals/NFL fun facts, and even some entertainment news.

So, let's get down to it... the shows I've been watching recently:

Those that just ended:
-Grey's Anatomy
-90210
-One Tree Hill
-Dancing with the Stars

and sometimes...

-What Chilli Wants
-Tough Love Couples

Those that are currently running:
-The Hills
-The City
-The Bachlorette

I watch the majority of my TV shows via online streaming b/c I have a crazy schedule, so you'll have to bear with me as far as my opinions and commentary being a little behind when the episodes air. The websites that I have found that have the best online streaming by far are ABC and the CW. Bravo needs to step it up in this area, I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the Real Housewives, but can't watch them because I don't have a DVR and don't want to pay for them online. Bravo really has an untapped market there.

Okay, well I finished watching the season premier of The Bachlorette and I'll have my commentary of the first impressions in my next blog.
