Inspiration from Terrible

Ok - so I got SUCKED in to The Bachelorette a couple of weeks ago - the week BEFORE the hometown visits. No, the week of the hometown visits. Anyway, the chick was SO into Graham(?), and so NOT into the others, it was ridiculous. There was no way she was picking, "My parents died when I was young, I cried at Dodgers stadium and now I'm an open book" OR "I'm hot and nice but I already have a kid whose mother dumped me".

She was REALLY into "I'm hot but I can't open up" who turned into "I'm hot but I can't open up until you dump me and I give you a letter that tells you how I feel". As with HK, that episode turned out to be the best, because who really gave a shit after that? And how could they never tell us what the letter said - or did they? And why wasn't he on "After the final Rose???" We knew she was going to pick "I snowboard, wore some weird pink outfit on day one and am SO DIFFERENT from every guy Deanna has ever dated including Jason and Jeremy". And her choice seemed very right after Jeremy went psycho and then trailed them to the Bahamas for some bizarre final plea which I didn't see.

I do have to say, though, that Jason sort of won me over and I will be SHOCKED if he is not the next bachelor. And if he isn't, it is SO because he has a kid. He is hot and took the dumping so graciously (after getting down on a knee and being picked back up) and he kept wishing Deanna and surfer-dude the best blah blah blah. Plus, his heart has been re-opened... I love these reality shows.

As for HK, I was pretty disappointed in the finale but could I have been more right about Christina (who looks an awful lot like our Christina) winning? First of all, he needed to pick a young and GoRam would NEVER pick a short, fat, sloppy old guy, no matter how good of a cook he is. I do have to give some credit to Petrozza for picking Jen over Matt - it was VERY mature. Jen may be a selfish bitch (loved when she asked GoRam for a reference) but she is not a PSYCHO. Matt is absolutely ridiculous and the fact that Tina completed a service with him as a team member is very impressive. I LOVED how she manipulated him with the risotto bit. He totally went for it.

I'm not so sure GoRam will be siked when he realizes that Tina was only working hard for the HK episodes and plans to skate by at "London". Something tells me the expectations will be high. I am so bummed that the show is over, though. At least I can look forward to Kitchen Nightmares. I LOVE these British opinionated assholes who are really softies underneath. Did you see GoRam give Petrozza a big hug behind the locked door while Christina was out celebrating with her "troubled mother"?

Terrible - I can't believe you were sharing photo booth pics with Susan Fine and the other honest old Jews at the shower. And True92 - TRUE that I was talking about you. Do you remember your comment about somebody's mother at the shower? Something to the effect of,
"Has she stopped eating since the last time I saw her??" POLITE. She was a damn good photographer, I must say...

Ha! I had no idea who true92 was until your latest entry... true, you are a very good photographer (at least with enthusiasm - I haven't seen the photos yet to judge artistry but I bet they're great because you had great subjects - those women were amazing).

I LOVE being an inspiration, even it is for something such as discussions of the bachelorette. Yes, Jason HAS to be the next bachelor. And just as America is ready for change in the form of a black president, I think that the bachelor is ready for a single father. It'll add a whole new dynamic of ridiculousness as we watch all the ladies claiming that they are not only falling in love with Jason, but with his son. I can't wait!
