The Bachelor Franchise: Changing from Running Diary to Picture Blogs
I've had overwhelmingly positive feedback for the picture blog from last Tuesday's episode, so starting with tonight's episode, I'm switching to that format. The good news is that I'll be able to watch the show twice, because really, how would that be a bad thing? The bad news is that you'll have nothing to read tonight besides this post. Since I'm hoping to have the picture blog ready 2-3 days after every episode, I'll be aiming for Thursday morning each week. No promises on when it'll be ready each week though (it could be as early as Tuesday night), so keep checking the blog throughout the week.

The Bachelor: Episode #6 (Tuesday's Episode)
Since I was not aware that The Bachelor would be doing a special episode on Tuesday this season, I have a scheduling conflict and am unable to do a live-blog. That doesn't mean I won't be doing a live running blog during the show as I watch it later, though.
Tuesday, 8:15 PM: I have a ball hockey game in a couple of hours, yet the only thing I can think of is how I'm going to miss The Bachelor tonight.
Wednesday, 12:27 AM: I still haven't watched the episode, but to fill that Bachelor sized hole in your heart, here is an amazing over-the-top take on Tierra's performance on Monday. Just a tremendous effort.
Wednesday, 10:36 PM: There's another episode of The Bachelor on Tuesday in two weeks that I'm going to miss? Ugh. There is no God.
_______________________________
Alright, let's try something different. Since there's no need to do the running diary live, I can pause the show whenever I want. What does that mean? Pictures and commentary together!
0:00: Alberta, my home province!
I bet you Alberta Tourism had a hand in making this happen. Tonight's drinking game: drink any time they mention Alberta, Lake Louise, or Canada.
0:02: Sean just started talking, and he's already mentioned Alberta, Canada, the Canadian Rockies, and Lake Louise. Only participate in the drinking game with a medical professional present.
0:03: The patented Chris Harrison Hand Gesture As He Speaks manoeuvre.
0:03: FMC Lesley!
0:04: Daniella with hope that she will be getting the 1-on-1 date...
0:04: ...and Daniella after having those hopes dashed.
0:05: Catherine just received the 1-on-1 date and says she is happy to "share this space with him". I have no idea what this means.
0:08: Actual Sean quote: "Catherine and I are sledding. We are doing flips. We're doing somersaults. We're walking on our hands. We're making snow angels. This is what I want from a wife."
I want to reiterate what Sean just said - this is a key attribute that Sean wants from his wife:
OK then.
0:08: Catherine just said, "This is like a 4 year old play date." Yes, sledding, flips, somersaults, walking on your hands, and snow angels would be what 4 year olds do. Sean is a 4 year old boy trapped in a 29 year old's body.
0:11: Sean is chipping at the ice sculpture to get ice for their drinks. But look at how dirty the ice is!
Who wants to have that ice in their drink?!
0:12: You're never going to believe this, but Daniella is not happy about being on the group date instead of the 1-on-1.
0:15: Catherine is moving up the power rankings after that story. It makes sense - Catherine lives in a world of sunshine and rainbows. Sean is just a big kid. Wouldn't they be right for one another?
0:24: We're being robbed of Selma in a bathing suit with her not participating...
0:29: ...but at least I get FMC flashing me in a bikini.
0:35: This shot is amazing on so many levels. Great job by the cameraman.
0:36: No way that Tierra stays in the hotel and skips the nightcap. But I think we all could have predicted she would have a miraculous recovery from her "hypothermia".
0:37: ...and they just showed the preview of her showing up on the date.
0:40: FMC looks amazing this episode.
0:42: Sarah is making the pitch for Sean to meet her family. She's the Jim Abbott of The Bachelor.
0:44: Love that right after Lindsay says "She cries wolf a lot", the sound department threw in audio of a wolf's howl as they cut to a shot of the moon. I've said it a bunch of times, but the editing staff on this show really is the best.
0:47: Lindsay is the professional hot-tubber on the show. Recall that it's fair game for her to steal Sean away from Tierra since she did the same thing a couple of episodes ago when Sean was about to go to the hot tub with Lindsay and Tierra was crouching outside their door.
0:48: Tierra, not happy about Lesley getting the group date rose.
0:48: Lindsay, not happy about Lesley getting the group date rose.
0:48: Lesley, happy about Lesley getting the group date rose.
0:53: Sarah just said "It's totally OK" as her voice was cracking. I'm not a psychologist, but I'm going to guess that it's not totally OK.
0:53: Right as Sarah and Sean were going to walk out into the hotel hallway, I wondered, "What happens if there's someone walking through the hallway?" Apparently the answer is to hide in a doorway. Look at the person in blue!
0:56: Sarah says she doesn't want guys telling her how great she is and what she deserves "forever" as they break up with her. She's 26.
1:11: I want to meet Dez's parents after she told the story about them living in a tent growing up. We should get a chance since she should still be around for the hometown dates...
1:16: Selma with the line of the episode regarding Tierra: "Let's be honest. You're going to wife that?" Amazing.
1:17: Shame, Selma, SHAME!
1:18: Selma: "I had to bring out the big guns tonight." Yes, you did.
1:22: I am not surprised that AshLee is a professional organizer, whatever that is.
1:25: Compare with the picture at the beginning of the episode. It appears that Chris Harrison got a Canadian haircut. Also, the patented Chris Harrison Hand Gesture As He Speaks manoeuvre.
1:28: With two cuts to come, there's no way that Daniella gets a rose. And she knows it. Note that she's making the same face here as she did at 0:12 when she found out she wasn't getting a 1-on-1 date.
1:30: And the Tierra drama continues for another week.
1:32: Note the shriek-y excitement when the U.S. Virgin Islands was announced as the next destination. That sure as hell didn't happen for Montana two weeks ago.
1:34: "Promotional consideration provided by Travel Alberta and Banff Lake Louise Tourism." Ya think?
Any thoughts on which format you enjoyed more - the live running blog during the show, or a recap a week later with screenshots and commentary?
New Power Rankings:
1. Dez

The Bachelor: Episode #5
Chris Harrison posted a picture of him working on his new clothing line. And to that I say: Look at all the plaid!
I'm looking forward to this two-day Bachelor extravaganza, but unfortunately my schedule did not account for this glorious two day event. As a result, I won't be able to live-blog the Tuesday show until later in the week. Very sad news, I know. That doesn't mean I won't be blogging about, just that it will be a later post - it will be posted here, likely by Thursday.
7:05: I'm excited for hypothermia night! That's happening tonight, right?
7:59: I'm ready for some more Tierra absurdity.
8:01: Crap, hypothermia night isn't until tomorrow. Booooo.
8:03: Not a whole lot of screaming in joy over the announcement of Montana. Just recall previous seasons and how the bachelorettes react when they get to go to Europe. Screams. Shrieks. Hugging. None of that for Montana.
8:04: Lindsay - very happy about Lindsay receiving the one-on-one date. Everybody else: not as happy about Lindsay receiving the one-on-one date. That's my expert analysis.
8:06: You can take The Bachelor out of the mansion, but you can't take the helicopters out of The Bachelor.
8:10: Signs I've been watching too much American Idol this season: My first thought about the guy who sings about "PEI potatoes" is that he doesn't have a very good tone.
8:15: Unlike in real life, you have to explain why you want to see a girl for another date on The Bachelor.
8:17: Who else just googled Sarah Darling?
8:18: Lindsay is moving up the power rankings tonight.
8:23: For the record, I do not find it necessary nor sexy for a girl to display her ability to "rough it" in the outdoors.
8:25: However, the "downing" of goat's milk might turn out to be strangely hot.
8:26: I really would like for FMC Lesley and Dez to be on the same team.
8:30: "Let me see those guns." Sean with the double entendre of the episode.
8:31: I'm kinda diggin' Angry Lesley.
8:36: Rulebreaker Sean! Love it.
8:37: Love that Lesley immediately puts up her hand after Chris Harrison says, "Maybe his wife is on the blue team."
8:39: Sarah's going home either tonight or tomorrow night. If Sean truly wants a girl who can also rough it, Sarah's onehandedness is going to be a detriment. Sad but true.
8:40: When Selma gets angry, Selma starts talking in the third person.
8:41: No way that the winning team is going to let this slide without some passive aggressive comments.
8:42: Let's not sugarcoat it. Tierra is an attention whore.
8:47: Tierra: "This is so bold for me to do." Um, didn't you just do this last episode?
8:49: Oh wow, AshLee. How long did you give Dez? Like 10 seconds? Show some respect and give them a few minutes at least.
8:51: Is that really Chris Harrison's writing? I'd guess no.
8:53: My thoughts about Catherine during my Bachelor preview: I would like to visit Catherine someday because she lives in a world full of rainbows, sunshine, and unicorns.
I stand by that statement.
8:55: Dez should have gotten the rose just for the epic goat milk drinking display.
8:57: My least favorite words right now are Chris Harrison saying "Tuesday night on ABC". I need to know about these things in advance, ABC. I can only properly clear my calendar for The Bachelor franchise if I know which days to clear it out for. Bah.
9:07: Chris Harrison with an epic Tweet to keep you entertained during tonight's episode.
9:11: OK, so we know Jackie's going home since Tierra is the reason for hypothermia-gate tomorrow night. But at least Sean is finally seeing that Tierra is full of drama.
9:13: Tierra chose a great time to play the "dead boyfriend" card. Well done. Respect.
9:16: No limos in Montana, that's for sure.
9:17: Pretty sure that "open-hearted" isn't a word. Or even a phrase.
9:18: Awesome editing by the production staff to show the contrast between Jackie's tears in the limo and Tierra's maniacal self in the interview room. I've said it once, and I'll keep on saying it. The production staff on this show is second to none.
9:23: Just realized - no shots of shirtless Sean tonight.
9:24: I am most definitely a fan of Dez's dress and Dez in that dress.
9:31: And boom goes the dynamite.
9:32: Still can't believe that disjointed mess of a speech that Tierra just gave. Did she really just end it with "I don't even care at this point - If I want to get engaged, I could get engaged just like that"? THEN WHY ARE YOU ON THIS SHOW?
9:36: Things drama-free girls don't need to say: "I'm not a drama person at all."
9:37: FMC Lesley to the rescue!!!
9:40: If I was one of the non-Tierra bachelorettes (yes, I know, that sounds weird, but bear with me), I would propose that whoever is sent home at the rose ceremony pull Sean aside and tell him the no-holds barred details about Tierra. There's no reason why everybody wouldn't be onside with this.
9:43: Chris Harrison interview time!
9:44: Just realized why there's a two-part episode tonight and tomorrow night - everybody is getting a rose tonight!
9:45: Chris Harrison is asking the tough questions that we all want to ask.
9:50: If anybody is getting sent home tonight, it's going to be Sarah, Robyn, or AshLee.
9:53: Robyn better be going all Bad Girls Club when she doesn't get a rose.
9:54: Such a great camera shot of everybody forming a circle around Robyn except Tierra.
9:57: Canadian Rockies! Alberta! My home province!
9:59: What they left out of the "Coming this season" previews - Dez's boyfriend comes out of the woodwork to confront her. Don't forget that still hasn't happened yet.
10:00: New power rankings:
1) Dez
2) Lindsay
3) AshLee
4) Lesley
5) Selma
10:03: Can't wait for the next episode. This show is the best.

This Year's Absurd Super Bowl Prop Bets
Would you like to bet on Alicia Keys' hair choice? How about Beyonce's outfit colour? Maybe a Jay-Z appearance during Beyonce's halftime show? These are among the many absurd Super Bowl bets available available for everybody to wager on today.
Anybody know Beyonce's personal stylist? Wouldn't mind getting some insider info...
Quick explanation on the odds: -160 means you bet 160 to win 100 (while receiving your original 160 back). +160 means you bet 100 to win 160 (while receiving your original 100 back).

The Bachelor: Episode #4
I'm excited for Bachelorette Roller Derby tonight. There's nothing quite like taking a bunch of women who have been locked together in the same house for over a week and putting them into a competition that involves physical contact. I'm setting the official "Sean is going over to make sure that bachelorette is OK after that fall" over/under at 2.5 (for the record, I'll take the over).
7:32: And it's official - the Chris Harrison Collection is happening!
7:59: How long will it take for Sean to be shirtless this episode?
8:02: Well, that didn't take long - 2 minutes.
8:03: Lesley!
8:03: Simmer down, Leslie. You are among 12 women who didn't get the date. How come nobody else is crying except you?
8:04: Selma says people are quick to judge her and that she's more than just a pretty face. Duh. She's also got nice boobs. As I said in my season preview, there's no way those are real.
8:07: They are mesmerizing. I am mesmerized. Mesmerization is occurring.
8:11: I am completely under Selma's spell right now.
8:14: Don't worry, Selma. If you fall during the climb, just try to land boobs first so you'll bounce right back up.
8:18: The Team Selma Bandwagon is officially full.
8:20: Update - they've just upgraded the Team Selma Bandwagon to the Team Selma Tour Bus.
8:25: I have never seen the girl reading the group date card before. Did she just join the show?
8:28: Whoa whoa whoa. Did Selma just say that they'll have to wait until she's "his only lady"? There's NO way she'll last until the end without even kissing him. This is the same dude who just set a Guiness Book of World Records for longest kiss, right?
8:31: Is Roller Derby a two-armed sport? It's a legitimate question.
8:35: Whoa, this is quite a different version of Amanda than the Mopey Amanda we saw from the first couple of nights.
8:37: Robyn with the splits. That looked painful. Except she's not a dude.
8:38: Amanda is showing crazy good form on her crossovers.
8:40: AshLee isn't just a Personal Organizer who organizes things. She's organizing OAS's life.
8:42: First "Sean checks on a girl who fell down" tonight. Two more to go!
8:49: Very disappointed in the lack of roller derby.
8:53: Quite the death stare from Tierra when Sean asked to spend some time with OAS.
8:56: Ah! Daniella is the mystery girl.
9:00: Forget about this stupid Tierra drama. Two words: HOT TUB!
9:01: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Tierra didn't have many friends in high school.
9:04: Oh no, Sean. Oh noooooooooo.
9:10: Do the producers of the show rent the cars? Does ABC have a rental car budget? Does ABC just ow a fleet of fancy vehicles to use at their disposal? These are the things I think about.
9:13: Leslie is way too happy to be here. She needs to tone it down. If it's so over-the-top obvious that you've never experienced any type of luxury in your life, it brings to light the gap between you and Sean. It's OK to be happy, but you gotta tone it down.
9:15: Sean is looking very James Bond-y in his tux.
920: "If I'm ever going to have romantic feelings about Leslie, tonight's the night." Not a good sign for Leslie.
9:21: Seriously, he's looking very James Bond-y right now.
9:22: Nice knowing you, Leslie...
9:24: Oh wow, he's holding the rose, even though he's going to give it to her...
9:25: Waterworks in 3...2....
9:26: I want to see a shot of a slow dramatic fall of a rose. I can feel it coming.
9:28: As if Leslie only packed that one tiny bag for the show. C'mon.
9:29: There it is - the shot of the rose falling! Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I can predict exactly what's going to happen on this show?
9:34: Am I the only person to notice that Sean got a haircut between the Leslie date and the rose ceremony?
9:35: When Robyn gets sent home, it's going to be horrific.
9:37: Yes Tierra, they've judged you from day 1. Because you've been a total bizatch to everyone.
9:38: This is the most amazing non-apology apology ever.
9:43: It's so hard to believe that Tierra can't get along with other girls. Why would that be?
9:47: Daniella is going home tonight.
9:48: You know what smart people don't need to do, Tierra? Smart people don't feel the need to tell other people that they're smart because they know they're smart. Only insecure dumb people feel the need to tell other people that they're smart.
9:52: Dez!
9:53: Not nearly enough screen time for FMC Lesley or Dez tonight. That better change next week, Sean.
9:55: Swerve! Didn't see that coming. Why does Amanda have this weird smile on her face?
9:56: Chris Harrison with a bit of a screw-up at the end. He is only supposed to say "If you didn't receive a rose, please take a moment to say your goodbyes" if multiple women are leaving the rose ceremony. If it's only one person going home, he's supposed to address that person specifically. Why wasn't there an "Amanda, please take a moment to say your goodbyes?"
9:57: Two episodes next week! But I have ball hockey Tuesday nights. What am I going to do next week?!
10:00: Sean Lowe, Stalling King.
7:32: And it's official - the Chris Harrison Collection is happening!
7:59: How long will it take for Sean to be shirtless this episode?
8:02: Well, that didn't take long - 2 minutes.
8:03: Lesley!
8:03: Simmer down, Leslie. You are among 12 women who didn't get the date. How come nobody else is crying except you?
8:04: Selma says people are quick to judge her and that she's more than just a pretty face. Duh. She's also got nice boobs. As I said in my season preview, there's no way those are real.
8:07: They are mesmerizing. I am mesmerized. Mesmerization is occurring.
8:11: I am completely under Selma's spell right now.
8:14: Don't worry, Selma. If you fall during the climb, just try to land boobs first so you'll bounce right back up.
8:18: The Team Selma Bandwagon is officially full.
8:20: Update - they've just upgraded the Team Selma Bandwagon to the Team Selma Tour Bus.
8:25: I have never seen the girl reading the group date card before. Did she just join the show?
8:28: Whoa whoa whoa. Did Selma just say that they'll have to wait until she's "his only lady"? There's NO way she'll last until the end without even kissing him. This is the same dude who just set a Guiness Book of World Records for longest kiss, right?
8:31: Is Roller Derby a two-armed sport? It's a legitimate question.
8:35: Whoa, this is quite a different version of Amanda than the Mopey Amanda we saw from the first couple of nights.
8:37: Robyn with the splits. That looked painful. Except she's not a dude.
8:38: Amanda is showing crazy good form on her crossovers.
8:40: AshLee isn't just a Personal Organizer who organizes things. She's organizing OAS's life.
8:42: First "Sean checks on a girl who fell down" tonight. Two more to go!
8:49: Very disappointed in the lack of roller derby.
8:53: Quite the death stare from Tierra when Sean asked to spend some time with OAS.
8:56: Ah! Daniella is the mystery girl.
9:00: Forget about this stupid Tierra drama. Two words: HOT TUB!
9:01: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Tierra didn't have many friends in high school.
9:04: Oh no, Sean. Oh noooooooooo.
9:10: Do the producers of the show rent the cars? Does ABC have a rental car budget? Does ABC just ow a fleet of fancy vehicles to use at their disposal? These are the things I think about.
9:13: Leslie is way too happy to be here. She needs to tone it down. If it's so over-the-top obvious that you've never experienced any type of luxury in your life, it brings to light the gap between you and Sean. It's OK to be happy, but you gotta tone it down.
9:15: Sean is looking very James Bond-y in his tux.
920: "If I'm ever going to have romantic feelings about Leslie, tonight's the night." Not a good sign for Leslie.
9:21: Seriously, he's looking very James Bond-y right now.
9:22: Nice knowing you, Leslie...
9:24: Oh wow, he's holding the rose, even though he's going to give it to her...
9:25: Waterworks in 3...2....
9:26: I want to see a shot of a slow dramatic fall of a rose. I can feel it coming.
9:28: As if Leslie only packed that one tiny bag for the show. C'mon.
9:29: There it is - the shot of the rose falling! Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I can predict exactly what's going to happen on this show?
9:34: Am I the only person to notice that Sean got a haircut between the Leslie date and the rose ceremony?
9:35: When Robyn gets sent home, it's going to be horrific.
9:37: Yes Tierra, they've judged you from day 1. Because you've been a total bizatch to everyone.
9:38: This is the most amazing non-apology apology ever.

9:47: Daniella is going home tonight.
9:48: You know what smart people don't need to do, Tierra? Smart people don't feel the need to tell other people that they're smart because they know they're smart. Only insecure dumb people feel the need to tell other people that they're smart.
9:52: Dez!
9:53: Not nearly enough screen time for FMC Lesley or Dez tonight. That better change next week, Sean.
9:55: Swerve! Didn't see that coming. Why does Amanda have this weird smile on her face?
9:56: Chris Harrison with a bit of a screw-up at the end. He is only supposed to say "If you didn't receive a rose, please take a moment to say your goodbyes" if multiple women are leaving the rose ceremony. If it's only one person going home, he's supposed to address that person specifically. Why wasn't there an "Amanda, please take a moment to say your goodbyes?"
9:57: Two episodes next week! But I have ball hockey Tuesday nights. What am I going to do next week?!
10:00: Sean Lowe, Stalling King.

The Bachelor: Episode #3
Forget about The Bachelor for a second. We have much more important things to discuss: a Chris Harrison clothing line! I would absolutely spend money on this. Is the line going to be all suits, dress shirts, and fancy watches? Or do we get a Casual Chris on Bachelor Pad line with fancy watches as well? How about an Awards Show Chris line with fancy watches? Or is it just a line of fancy watches? No seriously, watches are his thing, as G-Unit and I have discussed extensively over our years of watching the show. Are there also roses prominently involved with the design of the clothing? Like ties with little roses on them? I think I would easily spend hundreds of dollars on the Chris Harrison clothing line.
7:48: Any time that Chris Harrison is on the show tonight, I bet you'll be looking for a shot of his watch. Some of you might even rewind and slo-mo your PVR to catch a glimpse of it. I will not judge you if you do so.
7:50: I was soobsessed preoccupied with the Chris Harrison clothing line that I forgot tonight is the night where someone (Tierra I assume) is carried out on a stretcher, followed by the infamous "They got what they want. I hope they're happy!" quote. This should be interesting.
7:55: ABC's website that tonight, FMC Lesley and Sean will attempt to break the world record for longest kiss. Which means Lesley will be getting a lot of screen time since she's getting a 1-on-1 date. Which makes me happy.
8:01: It looks like the group date is going to be beach volleyball. A bunch of women in bikinis. FYI - I might be blogging less during that time.
8:02: Obligatory shot of Sean shirtless. That remains the drinking game.
8:03: Episode 3 is our first mention of "taking the relationship to the next level". That's pretty early.
8:04: We were robbed of Lesley meeting Sean tonight for their date. Which means they're just cutting time to make room for drama later on this episode.
8:06: Don't tell me that you're not distracted by Chris Harrison's watch.
8:11: Ah, no wonder they had to cut the intro out. All the time is going to be spent on the kiss. Are they going to show the whole thing?
8:12: Sean is not using any of the techniques that Arie taught him during the premiere.
8:14: Meanwhile, Lesley is all about the hands. She is all about the hand stroking the head.
8:15: Oh yeah, they're showing the whole thing.
8:16: I really hope that Lesley doesn't insist on putting that plaque on a wall in our house after we get married.
8:22: There were no nerds like Lesley in my high school. I was robbed!
8:23: Lesley's nervousness can be seen by how she can't even look him in the eye.
8:24: Sean can't use any of Arie's techniques if his hand is holding a champagne glass...
8:25: Lindsay needs to work on her raising the roof technique.
8:28: I want to reiterate that there is going to be a very high ogling to typing ratio during the beach volleyball game.
8:33: This outfit better be part of the Chris Harrison collection.
8:34: Look at that watch!
8:39: Really, Kristy? Tears over losing the second half of the date?
8:40: I cannot fathom how two girls are crying because they didn't get to share a group date with Sean with 5 other women.
8:44: Dez is back!
8:46: Sean is saying he's surprised by this other side of Lindsay. The other side, of course, is the non-drunk side.
8:49: Faking the date card. Wow, Tierra. If I was Selma, I would not be impressed right now. One second, you think you have a date. Oh no. It's just Tierra playing with your emotions.
8:51: I love how Needy Kacie (NK) thinks she some kind of strategic genius by doing this.
8:53: Oh, this is not going well for NK.
8:58: NK, you are not some kind of reality show tactical genius. You are not Richard Hatch. You are not Boston Rob. You are not not a member of Chilltown. So stop thinking you are.
9:04: It's interesting that Tierra fell down right before Sean got there, eh?
9:14: Random tangent - when I heard "mitochondrial disease", my first thought was Rocco Baldelli. I just proved that one can be a baseball geek while watching The Bachelor.
9:17: Ihave never heard of love the Eli Young Band!
9:25: It got a little dusty in my place during AshLee's story...
9:34: "Here's your job today: fly to Colorado, pick up a dog, and fly back with it."
9:40: Locks tonight for getting a rose - OAS, Dez, Tierra, Kristy, and Robyn.
9:46: Once you are in the FriendZone, you cannot get out of the FriendZone.
9:49: For the record, my prediction of Kristy is based solely on the fact that she's a model.
9:50: Sean's sending the model home? I can't believe it.
9:53: Rankings at this point for most likely to win:
1) Dez
2) Lesley
3) AshLee
4) Lindsay
5) Selma
Agree or disagree?
9:56: Next week looks really good. This season has been decent so far, but we need more scandal. Perhaps I was just spoiled by the ending of Bachelor Pad last year...
10:00: I was not very impressed by these closing credits...until Sean's words to end the episode.
7:50: I was so

The Bachelor: Episode #2
We're back for more drama in Episode 2. I'm so happy The Bachelor has returned to my Monday nights.
After last week's running blog of the premiere, Mysteries left a long note of solid observations, as well as some comments on the blog. Since some of you might have had similar thoughts, let's address these points together:
After last week's running blog of the premiere, Mysteries left a long note of solid observations, as well as some comments on the blog. Since some of you might have had similar thoughts, let's address these points together:
1) Why did I not comment on the "rape whistle" joke? Because I could not top the rape whistle joke. That is untoppable.
2) Some people are excited that Needy Kacie (NK) is back. I am not one of those people. We will just need to agree to disagree and move on.
3) "I'm pretty sure One-Armed Sarah is offensive". OK, let's discuss. I had a similar thought running through my head before I started referring to her as "One-Armed Sarah". But here's the dilemma - how do you refer to Sarah while ignoring her most observable attribute on the very first night? There are 25 26 different women. Here was my first reference to One-Armed Sarah, 29 minutes into the show:
8:29: If you're not rooting for One-Armed Sarah, you don't have a heart.
In that statement, it is very clear who and what that statement is referring to. But let's say I went all PC and decided that I couldn't refer to her as One-Armed Sarah.
8:29: If you're not rooting for Sarah, you don't have a heart.
If you were watching as the bachelorette vignettes rolled one after another, this is what you would think: "Who's Sarah again? Is she blonde? Which one is she? WHY DIDN'T CHAN GIVE US SOME INDICATION OF WHICH CHICK THIS WAS?!?!" Keep in mind, we were half an hour into a new season, where there are literally 26 bachelorettes being paraded in front of us, one quick segment after another. How are you going to keep track of each one? By naming their most recognizable feature. Can you even name another feature of Sarah besides her one-armedness? That's why there was Fifty Shades of Grey psycho Ashley. That's why there's Kristy The Model. That's why there's One-Armed Sarah. And that's why there's FMC Lesley. But now that we all have an understanding of who One-Armed Sarah is, obviously I do not need to continue referring her as One-Armed Sarah. I will refer to her as OAS instead.
7:30: Slowest 30 minutes ever...
8:02: Tornado of negativity! I'm totally in on that.
8:03: Drinking game from now until the end of the season: drink every time there is a gratuitous shot of Sean's body.
8:04: Things I wish I could have bet on: "Sean will choose OAS for the very first one-on-one date."
8:05: Helicopter arrival! Is Kalon making a random entrance? Oh, it's just Sean.
8:06: Much better drinking game - drinking game every time OAS mentions her one-armedness.
8:07: I love how all the girls are about to jump Sean's bones because he arrived in a helicopter like he was flying it or it was his idea to arrive via chopper. No ladies, I'm pretty sure that he had nothing to do with that.
8:13: Pretty sure that the guy giving OAS and Sean instructions is wearing a Jurassic Park t-shirt with the logo blurred out.
8:21: What would you put the odds for OAS getting the final rose at the end of the season? I'd say 0.01%.
8:24: The group reactions to the individual names being announced for the group date were interesting to say the least.
8:31: What is going on with the yoga instructor's hair?
8:32: The sound department really kicked it up with the music as they showed the palace.
8:33: The person most excited about the photo shoot is Kristy the Model. It's like it's her job or something. For the record, I would not have the same reaction if you told me my first date with a girl was to work on spreadsheets and PowerPoint.
8:34: Gratuitous shot of Sean - drink!
8:36: Daniella says she's most excited about her photoshoot. I wasn't aware that there were girls who were excited about other people's photoshoot...
8:37: I'm all in on FMC Lesley. Wow.
8:40: I can't believe that the model was the best at taking pictures. What a shocker.
8:41: Ah yes, nothing like the pool party on the first group date. A Bachelor staple to get the drama started. No doubt that drinks will be heavily involved.
8:49: The only way that Lesley could be more of an FMC is if she had an in-depth conversation about baseball with Sean.
8:51: "When do they give out the rose?" I enjoy how the girls are consulting NK about how things work on the show.
8:55: I have no idea what race Catherine is.
8:58: Tierra: "If I get a rose, I'll feel like he wants to keep me around for a while." This happens literally right after Sean says, "I'll be keeping you around for a while."
9:00: Love how Katie consults NK as the veteran, just like the rest of the girls.
9:01: Whoa whoa whoa, Sean. Don't fight too hard for her to stay there.
9:03: Now NK's giving the toast instead of Sean? What's next? Taking Chris Harrison's job? Wait, we shouldn't even joke about that. We should never joke about someone taking Chris Harrison's job.
9:08: I actually think that Sean set this prank date up - recall the prank that he had bringing Emily home to his hometown.
9:09: Wow, Sean just said that ten seconds later.
9:11: Someone is phoning me right now. Needless to say, it went unanswered.
9:12: I like how Sean calls her "Dez".
9:13: Love Chris Harrison's "You might be a really bad person" comment.
9:16: It's really hard not to be a fan of Dez. Yes, I'm going to call her that now too.
9:22: Dez takes the lead around the first clubhouse turn...
9:23: Whoa, Dez rockin' a bikini strong.
9:24: DRINK!
9:25: OK, seriously, how loud was the friggin' pool while they were talking?
9:26: I'm on Team Dez, but Lesley is still the lead FMC. If that makes any sense.
9:29: Wait, this is my blog. It doesn't have to make sense.
9:31: There is definitely more fawning over Sean as a piece of meat by the women than in previous seasons of The Bachelor. Just listen to their reaction when he entered the room for the rose ceremony.
9:33: Wedding Dress Lindsay is much more coherent tonight.
9:35: The key to making an impression with Sean is to drop "marrying my best friend" into the conversation.
9:36: Amanda, Death Stare Queen.
9:37: If you can guarantee me that a tornado of negativity is going to occur during a TV show, there's a 99% chance that I would be interested in watching this TV show.
9:38: Just checked my e-mail. Apparently it was my parents calling. They can wait until 10 PM. I'm also going to remind them of the "Don't phone me on Monday nights" rule...
9:41: Whoa, Robyn just dropped "racially diverse", "race", and "black females" into the conversation. Interesting.
9:46: Oh yes. It's not officially Bachelor season until someone mentions "the right reasons". Thank you Dez.
9:50: Robyn, Lesley, Tierra, Selma, Catherine, Lindsay are locks. Not sure how many total are getting a rose, but those are the ones I'm calling.
9:52: Oh yeah, Kristy for sure too.
9:53: FMC! FMC!
9:54: By the way, what the hell is Amanda wearing? That thought has gone through my head every time they've shown her.
9:56: Dez is not impressed by that last rose.
9:57: Sean's comments about Diana's kids as she left were nice. What a guy. He was formerly known as "Sean The Cyborg Specially Designed For The Bachelorette". It turns out he's also "Sean The Cyborg Specially Designed For The Bachelor".
10:05: I found Lesley geeking out on Greek mythology during the closing credits kinda hot. Then again, FMC status means I find just about everything a girl does kinda hot. Even correcting people on the enunciation of Hades.
8:02: Tornado of negativity! I'm totally in on that.
8:03: Drinking game from now until the end of the season: drink every time there is a gratuitous shot of Sean's body.
8:04: Things I wish I could have bet on: "Sean will choose OAS for the very first one-on-one date."
8:05: Helicopter arrival! Is Kalon making a random entrance? Oh, it's just Sean.
