Bachelorette #2

Sorry, I know it is late.  I will be better.  Had a great, but busy week and haven't had a chance to watch the show yet.  Oh, I just finished the Jon and Kate Plus 8 season premiere.  Do any of ya'll watch that show?  I have been keeping up with it since it started and it just breaks my heart.   When Kate was saying that parents of multiples have a way higher divorce rate and she wanted to beat those odds...tear...

Ok, now on to the Bachelorette!!!

Shocker...they open the episode with Jillian in a bikini.  I think this is a sight we need to get used too.  The men were introduced to their mansion...aka a bunk house.  I love that they do this to the guys.  Keeps it real.  There will be 2 group dates and 1 individual date.  On each date there will be a rose, if you get it the guys gets to move into the mansion with Jillian.  If the guy on the 1-0n-1 date doesn't get a rose, he goes home.  

Group Date #1: Michael, Brian, Brad, Sasha, Tanner P., Wes, Ed, Mathaeu 
The date starts at the pool.  Her first 1-0n-1 time was with Michael.  He just seems weird and girlie.  She totally left him in her room, mid-conversation to go downstairs to get the rose.  Tricky tricky girl...she leaves the mansion.  The whole time, Michael is waiting around like Rapunzel....Enter Mike Harris!  This date is finally getting fun.  Give the guys a competition. The guys pair up and jump into a mini coup.  They had to go through a bucket full of keys to open a lockbox to get their car key.  

I have to admit that I like Brian, the IT guy from Atlanta.  I am not a fan of the Tanner/Michael car.  They should get pulled over.  The car most likely to kill each other, Brad (love his tattoos!) and Wes.  The thing about this date, she is wasting all this time getting to know the guys by making them drive all over LA.  I have driven in LA and the traffic is horrible.  It is a big city.  I wonder how long this all took.  OMG...I just saw one of the guys wearing cowboy boots with his bathing suit!  So far the adventure has taken them to a kitchen where they changed in to tux, a jewelry store where they picked out a necklace, and finally to a bank vault where Jillian will be locked inside with her winner!  That makes me tired just thinking about!   

Ha!  The team I thought would kill each other, and were in last place most of the time, was the winner...Brad and Wes (the musician from Austin).  

Wes won!  Oh, the necklace Brad picked was my least favorite.  The necklace Wes wanted, the one with the balls, would have gone perfect with her dress!  I don't like Wes for Jillian.  There is something about him when he is talking to her that I just don't like.  Hmmm.  What do you think?  The clentcher for the loosing guys, the guys that lost got to watch the date on tv.  Wes got a rose and now he gets to move into the mansion.  

1-0n-1: Jake the commercial pilot from Dallas...I LOVE HIM!!!!  
Jillian picks him up wearing this fun strapless, short black fringe dress and red knee-high boots.  She looked so cute!  She takes Jake to a western store to get him a new outfit.  I like them, they seem so cute and fun together.  Awww, he just said, "Oh boy, I am gonna fall for this girl!"  Sweet!

After they get Jake a totally country shirt, they go to the House of Blues where Jillian pours them a drink and then dances on the bar!  He can dance too!  He is two-stepin with her!  This guys is great.  If she doesn't pick him in the end I might have to punch her in the face!  They are having great conversation and he totally just planted a nice kiss on her lips in mid-sentence.  Don't you just want a guy to do that?  To be so eager to kiss you that he can't stop himself...ahhh, how nice it must be to be Jillian!

Final surprise: Martina McBride.  They danced and giggled and in the end, he got the rose!  Oh man, they look like they are very kissing-compatible!  

Group Date #2: Jesse, Mark, David, Mike, Simon, Kiptyn, Juan
This date, according to Jillian, is for the boys.  They will be playing basketball with the Harlem Globe Trotters.  David, Mr. I-can't-get-the-words-out-of-my-mouth-when-I-first-met-you, seems like he lost his stutter and is a bit of a cocky-pants.  Oh, and what about Juan, who totally picked her up to let her dunk and then dropped her on her face!  Gentle butterfly my butt.  

Out come the HGT!  Man, they are good and they are tall!  And they know how to shake it!  I think it would be fun to go see them.  Hello...the HGT guy picked Jillian up and let her hang on the rim, then they left.  The bachelors just stood there, until Juan had to come redeem himself to get her down.  The HGT picked David to have some one on one time with her.  Man, he has tattoos too, nice!  

...Mike, just put on a speedo and jumped in the ocean...I am feeling like this date is lasting forever.  Now they are back at the house, or somewhere where they are taking shots.  Man, the guys do NOT like Juan.  I don't think I am a big fan of Juan either.  Now on to Kiptyn, never had his heart broken?  Interesting...  And then they kiss.  A lot.  Juan get the rose on this date for his speedo in the ocean adventure.

No Date:  Julien, Robby the bartender from TX, Reid, and Tanner

Rose Ceremony:  Jillian totally picked up on Tanner's foot fetish.  Uggg, I don't like Wes anymore.  Robby, one of the guys who didn't get a date, was having one on one time with Jillian and Wes, who already had a rose busted in on his time.  Jerk.  And are you guys picking up on how much aggression David has with all the guys?

The twist, thanks ABC, is that the guys get to vote for one guy to leave the house.  Remember when they did this last season to that girl who was kind of a potty mouth, well, she got a rose instead of getting kicked out.  Man, the guys are acting like sissies.  Suck it up and write down some dudes name.  

Juan was voted to get kicked out of the house.  BUT, totally stupid, Jillian can save him by giving him a rose.  Why did they even vote?  Of course she gave him a rose.  Whatever.

Roses:
Wes, Jake Mike and Juan already got roses.
Jesse
David
Ed
Sasha
Mark
Michael
Tanner P...SERIOUSLY?  Jillian, what are you thinking?
Kiptyn
Reid
Robby
Tanner
Rod

Going home: Simon, Julien, Brian, and Mathue (ahhh, he was getting teary.  Maybe he is on steroids. No, just kidding, he seems like a teddy bear under that tough, muscly body.)

So, here are my questions for you.  
Is David aggression just a guy thing or is it too much?
Do you think Wes is there for the wrong reasons and did ya'll pick up on his weird vibe when he talks to Jillian?
What do you make of Kiptyn saying he has never gotten his heart broken?

Yay! The Bachelorette...#1

I am so excited to watch this show right now.  I was going to have my infamous bachelorette watching party, however, the lovely weather has proven to be quite the opposite on my sinus'.  Allergy season is upon us in this great state!

As with previous season, I will not be blogging in detail for the first few shows.  There are just to many men, and as a single mom, I don't want to spend all my free time after the kids go to bed on my laptop.  Also, if you happen to find out where Jillian gets her clothes, send me an email or post a comment.  I know we have a lot of Jillian's Clothes Fanatics out there...let's feed our shopping additions!

I love listening to her describe herself, she said, "I am not drop dead gorgeous, but I'm cute and I have a big heart!"  I could so see myself being friends with her...Jason, eat your heart out!

Ummm, seriously, are they showing her in 15 different bikinis and then washing her car Jessica Simpson style?  Hello, we know she has a hot body.  Let's move on.  

Hello Men!  Yummy!  

Quotes to remember:
"There is a big party of me that is a one woman kind of man"... Michael, the dance instructor
"A jumpsuit, she would love this." (Yikes)...Kyle the Graphic Designer...He also said:
"Why is Jillian going to fall in love with me?  Because I look good.  I smell good.  I make love good."  I think he might stick around for a bit.  I'm interested.
"I'm Greg, but I go by BillBro.  On a scale from zero to BillBro, a perfect 10.  Yea, I said it."...Greg the fitness model
"One thing I am really excited about Jillian is that she is looking for her best friend and that is my philosophy, exactly.  I'm looking to marry my best friend"...Love Him...Jake, the commercial pilot.  

After her one-on-one sit down with Chris where she talked about all things from her quote, "You have to slay a few dragons before you find your prince!", her heartbreak over Jason and her optimism about Mr. Invisible, they bring out the men.

I am not really going to blog about this part, but let me just say that I am going to keep my eye on Kiptyn.  He has me intrigued.  

Men who intrigued me:
Kiptyn
Bryan the High School teacher and coach from Dallas
Jake, the Commercial Pilot from Dallas
John the Branding Consultant from Boise
Mathue the personal trainer from Wichita, KS.  He came out with the signed cowboy hat.  Cutie!


Men who are already annoying me:
Brian the IT Consultant from GA who called her "Hot tub Harris".  Dude, bad form. (Ok, during the mix and mingle he called her a "sexy little minx".  Ugggg.  Douche bag!
Julien, he said, "You better not break that girls heart"
Adam, the Olympic cyclist who said he wanted her first 5 mins.
Juan the General Contractor who started speaking Spanish and whose mother wants grand kids.  Too much cheese for me.
Greg, AKA BillBro...he annoys me for many reasons but this on is because he asked her to "hug it out" twice.  

Men I just felt bad for:
David the trucking contractor from Dayton, OHIO.  Poor guy, couldn't get a full sentence out.  He needed a shot or something.  Awkward! (btw, Brian redeemed himself.  He totally lost it when he met her, but he seems like a really nice guy!)
The English dude who talked about his mother's teabags
Josh, the 25 year old lifeguard who looks like he was 40 years old.  Sun is not your friends ladies, spray on tan and sunscreen are your friends.

The 25 men have arrived and met their lady in waiting.  Let the drinks come aplenty and the word vomit begin.  I have to admit, I hate this part.  I hate the rush, the time stealing, the testosterone challenges, and of course the twist.  Chris comes out to let them know that she will not have to choose from 25 Bachelors, he prances out 5 new bachelors for her to add to her collection.  I have to add Tanner to my list of guys who annoy me.  He makes Texas look bad by talking about his foot requirements.  He needs high arches, nice toes.  I think he might be gay.  Ugg, she thinks he is cute.  Jillian, NO!

Rose #1 goes too David from Dayton, the guys who froze up during the first meeting.  
The rest of the roses go too:
Jake
Jesse
Wes
Mathue
Michael
Robert
Ed
Reed
Simon (the Englishman with the tea-bags)
Kiptyn...YAY!
Mike
Brian D
Sasha
Julien
Tanner...DOWNGRADE!!!!!
Mark
Brad
Tanner F
Final rose goes too...
Juan...Boo!

Until next week, give me your thoughts!
