You'd think that when a guy hooks up with three different women three nights in a row that he'd have something interesting to say about it. Well, you'd be wrong.
Seriously, despite ABC's best efforts to keep things spicy (they have obviously hired the editor from Skinamax) it was relatively tame last night. Hottest quote I could find from Jason "I could feel her hands on me." Try to stifle your yawns, people.
I will make my best effort to make this amusing. Wish me luck.

I would be remiss in my Bachelor duties if I didn't inform of this latest development...
even if it comes in the form of another reality blogger, Reality Steve. Here is a link to his site:
http://realitysteve.com/
Now...I don't normally read this guy...he does a bachelor round-up and so do I and I don't like to read other people's in case they are better than my own. But also because, who has that kind of time?
Truth be told I was snooping around for info on this season and came across this guy's name on several sites. So I went there and discovered this dude supposedly has some "inside info" on what happens in this season's ending. Maybe he's full of crap, maybe he isn't. But he sure has some interesting theories AND he is giving clues every week as to what is going to happen.
Basically, it seems as though there is some possible big "SHOCKER" ending...such as maybe Jason is about to propose to one girl, realizes he likes someone he sent away and then changes his mind at the last second. I can't be sure, there are so many conspiracy theories on there it would make Oliver Stone proud. Still...if you're so inclined, check it out and see if you can make sense of it all.
In any case, it makes me hopeful that the ending will be more exciting than we all thought. And by that, they better not mean a Brad Womack ending or I will be truly sore.
Happy Friday,

Bachelor Round-Up "Smells a little like chicken..."
So I was all happy that Obama pushed The Bachelor back an hour. I mean….that means that I actually had a shot at watching the whole thing. Of course, I did not bank on being so bored that I fell asleep after the Dallas date. Lame, lame, lame…that’s me.
So the first hometown date is with Jillian in Canada...some place up in British Columbia called Kelowa. I did a google search bc I was curious and apparently it is “the gateway to the stunning Okanangan Valley.” Now as someone who has actually spent a significant amount of time in Vancouver, I can honestly say that I have heard of the Okanagan Valley...it is synonymous with wine. So I assume that there is going to be some wine drinking here bc The Bachelor Show is always looking for an excuse to get people liquored up so they do dumb things on television.
The date starts with Jillian and Jay-Jay running towards each other. Which is good that she reciprocated the jog because it always seemed like Jay Jay used to run toward Deeanna and she wouldn’t run back, which always gave him the appearance of an over-eager pup. Jillian tells him she spent every summer at this particular lake and oh, by the way, there is a Loch Ness type creature named Ogopogo who lives in it and oh yeah, she stepped on it once. Oh, they are wacky way up north. I love Canadia.
Next they head to the Mission Hill winery, which I usually bring home with me when I come back from Vancouver. Though don’t get the ice wine because although it always seems like a good idea when you’re in Canada, no one really wants to drink wine that tastes like grenadine. This is where Jillian spills the beans that although she seems very happy-go-lucky, her mom actually battled depression for 15 years and was in and out of hospitals. But “she got better.” Huh. I didn’t know you could cure this kind of thing…thought it was an demon you just had to continue to battle but hey, if you say so. More wine!
And then it’s off to meet Jilly’s family. They welcome her home with signs and an enormous Maple Leaf flag. Jillian’s dad wraps him up in the Maple Leaf flag and douses him with maple syrup to welcome him to the family. Then they all burst into a rousing chorus of “O Canada.” Hi, ABC? That horse? Quit kicking it, it’s dead.
Of course, we have to hear how Jillian won over Jay-jay with her hot dog theory. Man, she is getting a lot of mileage out of this. Then Mom reads a poem to Jillian that rhymes “grain” and “again” which is very cute. Mom pulls Jay-jay aside and grills him a it, telling him that his BA in psychology will come in handy in the family. They both agree that Jillian has lots of soul, character, depth and layers. It must be all that hot dog talk that makes them all think she is so deep.
And then Jason gets to meet Granny. Granny says “Jason is a very, very beautiful guy….I’m happy for her. I told her I’d take her up to Northern Alberta and marry her off to a Ukranian.” I couldn’t tell if this was a good thing or a threat but anyway, Granny is very, very amusing, ha, ha! Actually, the whole family is pretty charming…really. And it’s not just the Canadian accents, either. I dig 'em, maple leaves and all.
Next day, next date. Jay-jay is meeting Molly on a golf course in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Molly is all prepped up at The Country Club, driving around in a golf course. She says the words Country Club like 50 times, clearly impressed with herself. She seems to think Jay-jay will be impressed too but he looks at her like, what are you wearing. Molly slaps him on the back and says “don’t worry, I brought you some clothes.” And bam, Jay-jay is dressed like a dork too. They both seem to be terrible at golf, despite Molly claiming to have gone golfing every Sunday with her family.
It’s just a laugh riot over at Molly’s house. In case you doubt it, Molly’s mom gets out the funny hats. Ha, ha! They are soooo crazy. And then Mom makes Jay-jay draw a picture of Molly for some reason. And it’s a bad drawing! Ha, ha! Hilarity ensues. In the meantime, Dad tells Molly “whatever you do…you’re a winner. If he doesn’t pick you, don’t cry if he puts you in the limo…just smile.” No wonder Girlfriend sort of reminds me of a Stepford wife…just smile and look pretty….
Next up, a date with Naomi in California. Her parents are divorced and mom’s kind of a hippie. Dad’s kind of a Jesus freak. And for some reason, there is a dead bird hanging around. And they want Jason to say a prayer over it as they bury it. Jason is looking around like….this is a joke, right? For Chris Harrison’s blooper reel? No, it’s for reals, Jay-jay. And then Dad takes Jason out for a little chat about Jesus. Jason the Nice Jewish Boy smiles and nods politely, checking the room for possible exits.
And Naomi’s mom has premonitions. But you already knew I was going to say this. She also says Jason is “an indigo kid” and that they are “in the same soul family” and that Jason in his past life was a mother. And Jason says, “check, please!”
Okay. Onto Dallas. Melissa appears wearing really small white shorts and I assume she has just gotten back from cheerleading practice. She tells Jay-jay he will be meeting her friends but not her family because they are not comfortable with public-ness of the this. You can see Jay-Jay is bummed but what can you do? Her friends all seem cool but oddly enough, have never met her parents either. Quite mysterious. Maybe she was raised by wolves?
And then, I am sad to say, I fell asleep. Marylou and Stacy let me know Naomi got the boot last night, which isn’t surprising and that next week, they are all headed to the overnight dates in New Zealand. Seems like a pretty far place to fly if you’re never going to leave the hotel room but hey, whatever. I’m not the producer. And hopefully our Publicity Whore Friend Deanna will be showing up soon to rustle up some trouble.
That’s all I got, kids. Still, it’s more than last week. Happy Tuesday.
Take care,
Nanette

"Smells a little like chicken..."
So last night was interesting. I fell asleep before the rose ceremony because I am well, pathetic. But the parts I saw...from the dead dove to the beer hat to the maple leaf flag...were pretty darn good. And by the way, only in Canada does the word "grain" rhyme with "again." Love that, so cute.
Anyway, more to come later...hope you enjoyed the show.

I supppose the President is more important than the Bachelor....
hence, he is pushing the show back an hour. ABC will run the Presidential News Conference from 8-9 and then the Bachelor from 9-11 (Eastern time). Which I don't mind because 8 is really too early for me.
Enjoy the show,

The Bachelor really only needs to be 45 minutes anyway...
and that's all I saw last night so that's all I will blog about. I tried to go onto ABC and Hulu and they both said I had to download stuff to watch it. I tried. Didn't work. And since the husband isn't here to make it work, I'm done trying. Anyway, I don't think I missed much....Stacy and Marylou were kind enough to fill me in on what I missed so yes, this will be a half-assed update this week. Sorry.
Jay-jay took 5 ladies home to Seattle. Don't know why I thought this meant they would meet Ty but they didn't...only Melissa got a little glimpse of him. Like he was some rare bird species or something.
I'm sorry if I'm distracted but it's 10:24 pm right now and my friend is still up and saying the word "mommy" every 10 seconds and I'm trying to ignore it. It's hard. Hmmm....not sure these 24-year-old bachelorette girls really know what they're signing on for....kids seem charming during the day but not necessarily at bedtime. And by the way...I find my own child much less annoying, cleaner and more charming than other people's children, who as a rule, usually have runny noses and bad manners. Something for them to think about...
Now the word "mommy" has expanded to "mommy come here." Patience....
So the part I saw yesterday was when Jason was on a date with STephanie, Jillian and Molly and they go to a radio station for an interview. Because of course, that's what everyone does on a date. The djs ask Jason which of the ladies is the best kisser. Now. When you're currently dating five women,the proper answer to this is..."all of them." Not our Jay-Jay though. He actually picks one! Silly rabbit. In case you're wondering, the lucky winner is Molly...the one he smooched all night in the tent.
And then the Dj's blindfold Jay-jay with a feather boa and make him smooch Stephanie, Jillian and Molly to try to tell them apart. Luckily, each woman has her "signature move"...Stephanie kisses his hands, Jillian sticks her tongue in her mouth and Molly grabs his face. Would you believe he got it right?
Other random notable details of the night....(I caught my 45 minutes in drips and drabs)..Stephanie Botox Mom wears glitter eyeshadow. Really, a bold choice unless you're a stripper, dressed up for Halloween, or about to perform a rock ballad. And you already know my views on the eyebrow issues happening this year. Also...while I appreciate that all the girls do not want to kill each other on this season of the Bachelor, I do question all the cuddling happening....I love my friends dearly but I have never snuggled them in this way. And what's with the acting out of the scene from Lady and the Tramp with two girls eating spaghetti and winding up lip to lip? I think maybe everyone in the house is just drunk all the time. Because I've heard they have no tv, radio, Internet, newspapers so all they're left to do is talk about Jay-jay.
Also...did you get the feeling they were trying to get all Sleepless in Seattle on us last night? What with the houseboat overlooking the harbour and everything. Also...why does Naomi always have her hair in her eyes? Why did all the girls sob hysterically when Jason sent Stephanie packing? And more importantly, what was up with the white fur Steph was wearing and did P.Diddy recognize his was missing? Do you get the feeling that at some point in the show Melissa is going to burst into a cheer? And is it wrong of me to be prejudiced against a person because they choose to shake their poms-poms for a living? What will I do if A wants to do that? After all, there was a brief (very brief) point in my life when I considered becoming a Solid Gold dancer. For reals.
So. Long and short of last night? Stephanie the Botox Mom got the boot. In the end, Jay-jay just couldn't muster up the courage to kiss her very lipglossed lips. Moral of the story...you can like someone all you want, think they are lovely people, etc. But it don't mean a thing is you ain't got that schwing....
That's all she wrote, folks. Sorry for the half-assed update, but that's all I got.
That...and apparently, a sleeping child. Whew.
Good night.

Where have all the eyebrows gone?
that's all I have to say about the Bachelor last night. Everyone needs to step away from the tweezers please.
I will admit that I did not watch the whole show last night. I wanted to....it just was not possible. I hope to watch the rest of it on my lunch hour.
Enjoy the snow,
Nan
