So much for the "rumors"
I knew going in to tonight's show what was supposedly going to happen and yet....as it unfolds before me...I am PISSED! Pissed because I really like Melissa. Pissed because he is breaking up with her on national television. Pissed because he did all of this with his 4-year-old child involved. Pissed because he is pulling the "it's not you it's me" card. Pissed that this was supposedly all planned out before the show began and Melissa is getting dragged through the mud for "good tv"....Let me tell what I am glad about...

Monday night reality...
The Bachelor: the women tell all...well, they would have been able to tell more if they didn't spend the first hour asking Jason the same questions they would ask him later, or spend time showing us the whores that were losers on previous seasons (except for Jesse who was a winner...but now just a whore dating blondie...interesting), or spend time showing us long clips from shows we have already seen...boring. Only good thing is that I found out...My fav girl Amanda (from Matt's season) and my fav boy Graham (from Deanna's season) are dating...now that, is good to see!

A few shows of note...
The Bachelor...I didn't comment on Monday, because the day just got away from me...I was highly disappointed that Jillian was sent to the curb...really disappointed...but I guess it is not me that is marrying any of these girls, so I shouldn't care so much. On a more fun/angry note...there are rumors of a "shocking ending"....my cousin J alerted me to all of this. They made a comment that "due to sensitive material the final rose show would be taped with a very small crowd"...J thought maybe it was 'cause Molly got pregnant during that "tent date"...but then she found all of this....http://realitysteve.com/...if you don't want to hear the secrets/rumors or be disappointed...don't go there and read...It will be interesting to watch the show the next couple weeks.

Not a huge surprise...
You all know by now that I have taken to this season of the bachelor much more then I thought I would...but really, Jason is too sweet/nice a guy...with too big a heart for this show...I feel bad for him. But..he knew what he was getting into...well maybe?! Keep in mind one thing...Jason's face is beyond easy to read...you can so tell when he is uncomfortable or thinking "what the crap?"
The hometown/meet the family dates....how fun!
Let's start off with Jillian...Jillian is my favorite and she moved up even farther after this day with her family. My personal opinion...they were the most normal family of the 4. Yes, her mom suffered from depression and the family went through some serious hard and trying times...but they got through it together and appear to be doing fantastic. The one thing that I noticed...Jason had a smile on his face the whole day...everyone was laughing and chatting and having a great time...there didn't seem to be any awkward moments (or looks on his face)...even with Grandma busted out the canadian boxers and dad sang "O, Canada"...just funny. Jillian's mom asked really good questions and Jason answered well...and then asked her some good questions...I really enjoyed watching this family interact with Jason!
Molly...why does she annoy me so much? She wears so much make-up and I just wanted to brush her ponytail at the rose ceremony. And the thing about golf....I think she may have thought that Jason was a bit more into golf then he is...but that is all she would talk about..."every sunday, golfing with the family"...then there was her mom...seemingly normal looking lady...till she put the hat on, and made Jason become "the chief"...really...what mother would do this the first time she met her daughter's "boyfriend" and on national tv...atleast pretend you are as normal as you look. And I don't think that dad said more then a couple of words. Then there was the drawing...yes, please let me draw a picture of your daughter since I have never drawn before and why don't you hover over my shoulder. Jason's face...many times with "that look" on it...but not as many times as when he visited with....
Naomi's family....OH MY GOSH!!! Aside from the whole suicidal dove that was laid to rest...my favorite line of the night "what I learned about Naomi's dad tonight is that he really loves Jesus"...awesome. Second favorite part was when Naomi remembered that religion is/was a big part of her life and maybe she should have talked to Jason a bit more about that before she brought him home...really? You're just now thinking that would have been a good idea? Did anyone else notice the slot machines in the background when Jason was chatting with dad...guess his love of Jesus extends to his love of pulling the arm...But the day kept getting better...now let's sit down with the mom alone and her belief in reincarnation...yes, I totally agree...Jason had to have been a mother in a previous life....CA-RAZY! If Naomi did think that her family would be the kiss of death...she is in denial. I know, I know...he said it's because he doesn't believe she is really ready to settle down (which I also agree with)...but really, who could knowingly and willingly join that family?! Of course...atleast Naomi had a family to meet...
Melissa....ok, so I understand that maybe her family doesn't want to be on tv...I understand that they are very private people...but raise your hand if you think there is something else going on there. None of her friends know her parents...they have never come to watch her perform as a Dallas cheerleader....but then she describes her mom as nurturing and her dad as adventurous. My guess is that growing up her parents were totally involved...and something has happened more in her adult life that is keeping them away. I just don't buy (completely) the camera shy thing...also, based on previews for next week, it sounds like she hasn't even spoken to them...something is up my reality friends, something is up! I am not entirely sure how much I buy the closeness to the friends...there is just something going on there! However...I did think it was cute that she made a money box for Ty's tooth money.
Okay...so you should know by know that Naomi is gone. I was not surprised after last weeks and this weeks episode that she was the next to go...however, I was a little surprised at how much he likes Molly...can I just say that when he made the comment about her being willing to stay over with him and how much that meant to him because it showed she trusted him...WHAT??? Wouldn't you rather be with a girl that respects herself enough to say that she should probably go home and sleep in her own bed...maybe that's just me! Anyway...he likes Molly...so she gets to head to New Zealand with Jillian and Melissa...and of course....
Deanna...my guess, she didn't find out they were going to be in New Zealand so she flew herself there...pretty sure the producers were like hey, now that he has fallen for these other girls...let's call her up (since she is available...nice pick on Jessie) and see if she wants a free trip and to cause Jason some more pain...what the crap....? I think that whole thing is going to be pretty dumb...they also said later in the season about that...I thought we only had 2 episodes left...and are we going to get the bachelor reunion before the final rose...so many questions. I am not entirely thrilled to watch next week...I hate this episode in the show 'cause it is just more over the top dates with way too much water and making out...then that room card that, even if you didn't want to use...you do! So here's to next monday with a lot of lip action...and I don't mean the talking kind...bleh!

Oh how my thoughts have changed...
When I was watching the Bachelorette, I really didn't like Jason. I did feel a little bad for him when he got ditched by Deanna...but I wasn't surprised, 'cause we all knew that she would go with Jesse...someone whom it would never work out with. Then they picked Jason to be the bachelor...yawn...but I decided to watch to see the drama unfold. Surprisingly...Jason has grown on me a bit...try not to be shocked. Last night's episode really pushed me over. I felt the interaction between he and his son, Ty, seemed a little "showy" whenever they were on camera...however, last night, when he met up with Ty after not seeing him for a week, he totally got choked up...and it was completely genuine...! Then at the rose ceremony, he almost lost it again when he didn't give Stephanie (single mom) a rose...I really think this whole process is tearing him up...even Chris knew it was a hard night and patted him and asked him if he was okay...I think Jason is too kind for this show.
Okay...now on to my other thoughts...none of these girls are right for him...and I REALLY like Melissa and Jillian. Here is my problem...every year on the Bachelor we laugh at the unrealisticness of the show...the dates....the lifestyle. We laugh that when the show is over and real life is re-entered all "love" will diminish. And we have proof of this as Trista and Ryan are the only ones who lasted out of the dozen of bachelors and bachelorettes. So add to the unrealisticness of the show, a child...let's send the girls on over the top romantic dates with a guy, who back home is a single dad and will NEVER be able to do such things again. Good example of this...Melissa's date that turned into a night in with Jason, drinking wine and nothing else. Real life right????!!!! I don't think that any of these girls have any clue as to what life with Jason will be like. There will be no honeymoon stage...there will be no quiet nights at home as a new couple...it will be work, school, caring for a child....and maybe a few quiet moments together...really....I don't want that life for any of them. I want them (okay Melissa and Jillian) to find guys who are single and with out children...guys who they can walk all the fun "firsts" of life with...As for Molly and Naomi...I don't want Jason to end up with them either. I was Jason to find a girl, like Stephanie...someone who maybe has a child...who is older...who truly understands what it means to be selfless. They all say that they are ready to be mom's...I don't believe they are ready to be a step-mom to a 5 year-old. They all say they understand what it will be like...LIARS...they don't understand...Oh...the whole thing is just making me frustrated.
This season has brought very little drama...they actually found great girls (a few crazies who are gone)...unlike past seasons where there were bitches and whores...I guess they wanted to do better since a child was involved. It has been nice to not have the drama...but because there has been little drama...these girls are actually pretty good friends...and I am concerned about the fact that they seem to be closer to one another then to Jason...
The girls:
Jillian: I think that Jason has some pretty strong feelings for Jillian...I think that Jason is doing a good job of asking the right questions of her...however...I don't think Jillian is in the same place. When answering questions...she says a lot about coming on the show for the experience, the girls, travel....you would think that if you are trying to convince a guy to choose you, your answers would go something like, "I am falling for you and seem not myself because I am having a hard with you going out with other girls"...or "I just can't believe I feel this way about you after such a short time and it is kinda freak'n me out"....you know...answers so many other girls have said...I really like Jillian, I think she is pretty, down to earth, kind, etc...I just don't know if she is in that place with Jason...
Melissa: I think Melissa has an ideal idea in her head as to what life will be like with Jason...I don't believe this is very realistic and I wish a didn't life for her. I don think that she is falling for Jason...or the idea of it all. I don't want her to be sad if she doesn't get chosen...but I don't want him to choose her...
Naomi: Young...has no idea what this life would be like...she'll go home soon!
Molly: Molly, molly, molly...what? I can't even figure this girls out...I don't feel like I have good grasp of what she is about...? Thoughts????
I obviously have a lot to say about this weeks episode...I never thought I could get so deep about a show like this...guess it just seems more real when a kid is involved...instead of 2 single people being silly with a relationship.
Next weeks home town dates....looks like it will be an interesting week. One thought...Naomi's mom and family...all I could think of was the Kardashian clan...

I broke down...
Alright...I watched it! It is so hard to stay away from such crazy shows...again, all these women in one house...just good tv! I know, I know...what is your definition of "good". Let's just say, Deanna comes back (whom I can't stand)...this is gonna get "good"!

Reality update...
I just need to give a shout out to the producers of Momma's boys....nice work! Let's put a whole bunch of girls in a house (most of which have had plastic surgery, are in tons of debt, and have posed in some sort nude photo) with 3 mom's who are over protective, over bearing, opinionated, and one is totally racist....now that, my reality friends, is good tv! You really should check it out...they are getting down to just a few girls...so a winner (or 3) will soon be crowned.

Graham....I know some very eligible ladies
Pretty sure I am the only one that cares...however, I am here to tell you anyway, Graham is gone! I truly believe that if Graham and Deanna had met in regular life...they would be a serious couple right now. This whole show thing is not working for him. The whole "sharing" with other guys is not his cup of tea. The sad thing is, Deanna liked him best and now she is stuck with Jason, Jeremy and that snowboarder kid. Seriously? I am pretty sure that whoever she chooses (and I think it will be Jason) she won't end up marrying! But....we shall see.
