Bachelor On The Wings of Love Episode 4: This one is soooo boring

Hey y'all. How's it going? I decided that tonight, to challenge myself, I would watch the show in its entirety, without fastforwarding (or rewinding), just to see if I could do it. It's a two hour show, so let's not get ridiculous. Here are my thoughts, in 'real' time:


8:30 Previously, on The Bachelor….Chris’ gentle voice whispers in my ear and I look up to see the usual montage of clips from past episodes: bungee jumping, pool smooches, comedy club mischief (not), dissing Vienna, Vienna defending herself. Plus a warning from Jake about tonight: “You need to be prepared to get extremely dirty”. Oh Jake, you saucy minx. Also a preview of…wait for it…drama and a twist involving a serious tete-a-tete with Chris Harrison. Quite the bromance those two have going on. But whatevs with the drama, Jake, I’ll wait and judge for myself.

8:32 Chris joins the ladies in the living room to talk about the great dates lined up this week. The dreaded two-on-one date is mentioned. Chris makes a shocking announcement and the ladies rush outside. ROADTRIP, Y’ALL! Chris explains that they’re leaving the house. Forever. So, one of two things is going on: ABC couldn’t pay the lease on the sweet house or they couldn’t risk any more of the girls entering into relationships with staffers. Their new homes are two big ole trucks. Ella is fixin’ to get on these RVs, y’all. Spending that much time, on an RV, with this group of broads = NIGHTMARE.

8:35 First glass of champagne cracked. Well, the first onscreen glass of champagne. Personally, I’m well into my second bottle.

8:36 Jake’s on a motorcycle. We see him pull into a winery and up to an orange tent. Is this his new Bachelor pad? Wow, ABC really did not pay the rent and thankfully, no staffers in sight. Meanwhile, the girls speculate about who will go on the two-on-one date. Yawn.

8:39 Jake talks about how outdoorsy he is. Vienna is bold. The girls set up blue folding chairs and Gia reads her own date card: “Let’s go over the moon and over the stars”.

8:40 First commercial break. All I know is, Luke Wilson must owe someone a crap load of money.

8:42 We’re back and Jake is shaving his beard in the great outdoors. Of course, he changes his shirt and we catch a view of the abs. God I need a shot of tequila. Badly. Jake is such a rugged mountain man. He and Gia take off on a motorcycle.

8:44 They play hide and seek in the vineyard. No really, can you imagine doing this? So ridiculous. Maybe I’m just not romantic, but seriously, ridiculous. Jake carries her around the vineyard and they talk about fairy tales. Gia reveals (shocker) that she was a nerd back in the day. Jake reveals he was in the 11th grade when he had his first kiss. They play spin the bottle. Seems sincere. I mean, as sincere as you can be while dating eight other girls on a tv show.

8:48 commercial break. My finger itches to hit that fast forward on the PVR. How do you guys watch this show in its entirety, commercials and all. It’s killing me.

8:52 Back in Jake’s tent. Dinner is hot dogs and smores. All jokes aside, this is close to a ‘real date’. Closer than having a private performance with Chicago, or Martina McBride, or having dinner in Frank Sinatra’s house. Nice date, actually. But the rose looms large beside the fire. Will New York Gia get the rose? Gia tells Jake what she wants out of life; she’s got it all figured out, right down the pot bellied pig.

8:55 The girls read the group date card: Jessie, Ashleigh, Tenley, Ali, Vienna and Corrie (meaning the two-on-one date will be with Ella and Kathryn). Who the hell is Kathryn?

8:57 First rose of the long evening given to Gia. In the background, On the Wings of Love, muzak style. Jake says Gia is a complex city girl. What the hell is complex about city girls? In spite of her like/love for Jake I decide that I like Gia.

9:00 Commercial break.

9:02 Back in the RVs. We’re leaving the vineyard. Off to Pismo Beach. Nice map graphic, ABC, nice. Jake (or his stunt double) is riding his scooter down the beach. Did I say scooter? Yup. I did. Now the RVs are driving down the beach, going what looks to be 100 mph. Hope there’s no one lounging on the beach. Jake explains that this is one of the only beaches that you can drive on. Phew. I didn’t think Jake was a lawbreaker.

Anyhow…

9:06 The date is dune buggy driving. Jake chose this because he wants to see who is timid at driving dune buggies. Because that is really what makes a marriage solid: the ability to drive a dune buggy. I love the words: dune buggy. Dune. Dune. Dune. Buggy. Buggy. Buggy. Wow, this is a boring date.

Next up…

9:08 Sand surfing. Looks fun and Jake is making a connection, if you will, with Tenley. Some wine and food and then Corrie rolls down the hill with Jake. Literally, rolls down a sand hill. Corrie is really starting to open up. Or so says Jake.

9:10 Commercial break. I realize we are not even an hour into this show. Wow. Okay, I’m caving. Next commercial break I’m hitting the fast forward button, fo sho. I’ve got better things to do, like make a root beer float.

9:15 Jake says he loves dirty girls. Chortle chortle chortle. The group date continues at some random fun house and the girls clean up after their dirty day at the beach. The rose looms large, yet again. His first one-on-one is with Ashleigh. She is bold, physically, and Jake is not buying. Or maybe he is. Jake gives her a peck on the cheek. He admits (to the camera) that he’s not feeling the chemistry and they’re not progressing. Next is Ali. Jake seems exhausted mentally by all these crazy chicks and I don’t blame him. This is draining, and I’m just watching it.

9:20 Back at the campsite, Gia reads the two-on-one date card. The girls are stressed.

9:21 Tenley and Jake have some one-on-one time. Tenley has an ex-husband? I forgot about that. Or I didn’t care in the first place. Tenley seems alright. I gotta say, this episode is a bit boring. Where’s the drama?

9:23 Last but not least, Vienna. How come we didn’t see Jessie? Did I miss it? Jake tells Vienna that she’s bringing the hate from the other girls onto herself. He tells her to be careful what to say in front of the other girls.

9:25 And the rose goes to….Tenley.

9:26 Commercial break and I’m fast forwarding. Dear PVR, I’ve never loved you more.

9:26 (oh yeah, it’s that fast). Back in the RVs. Off to Big Sur (thanks again for the map, ABC). I know that I’ve said it before, but there’s no way Ella is 29. Having said that, I hope she sticks around. I try to think how I would be on a date like this. Sullen, flirty, chatty, serious, drunk, obnoxious, shy? All of the above?

9:31 The two girls are having dinner with Jake in his cabin. It’s sooo awkward at the table. It’s like Kathryn isn’t even there. I felt sorry for her until I remembered she signed up for a reality tv show that involved competing with other women for one guy.

9:35 After Ella gives her speech, Kathryn and Jake have some one-on-one time. There’s tension but Jake doesn’t see it coming. Kathryn lays into him, or tries to, but she caves.

9:37 Commercial break + FF

9:37 Jake is leaning over a railing, trying to make a decision.

9:38 That was quick – he decides to send Ella home, not before giving her the old ‘you are such an amazing person; truly a complete package’. I’m not that surprised, Ella and her red satin jacket wouldn’t have made it that long in the forest anyhow.

9:41 Back to Kathryn. She thinks she’s safe. I think she’s safe. But no, a curveball. Jake sends her home, too. Nice move, Jake. Nice. She gives him the classic “I think you’re making a mistake” but I think not. Jake stands by it and she leaves.

9:43 Are Kathryn and Ella on opposite sides of the same limo?

9:45 Commercial break, but not before Jake throws the rose in the fire. Wow. Dramatic.

9:45 Seven girls remain; only one girl will go home tonight (I predict Jessie). They arrive at a gorgeous mansion for the Rose Ceremony. Jake needs a shot. So do I, just to wake up. Wow this is a boring episode.

9:48 One-on-one time with Corrie. Jake likes her but admonishes her for not opening up. Do you like how I used ‘admonishes’. Classic.

9:49 Ali has one-on-one time next.

9:51 Jessie uses her one-on-one time to diss Vienna.

9:52 My husband walks into the room: “That show isn’t over yet??”

9:53 Vienna’s one-on-one time.

9:54 Still waiting for the drama that was promised to me.

9:55 Commercial break

9:56 The Rose Ceremony begins with four roses to hand out. Jake is sheepish and gives The Speech.

9:57 Third rose (first of the Rose Ceremony): Ali

9:58 Fourth rose: Corrie

9:59 Fifth rose: Jake can’t do it; he needs a minute. I’m starting to see why this cat is single. Jake meets up with Chris; he needs advice. Jake wants to get rid of two girls, what do the rules say? Chris puts on his best poker face and then…

10:01 Commercial break

10:01 Chris says that Jake can send two home (I’m paraphrasing, naturally. Watch the show if you want to see what he really said). Is this the drama? Not so dramatic. We’re down to Vienna, Ashleigh and Jessie. Only one rose.

10:03 Ladies, Jake, blog readers, this is now the final rose of the night.

10:04 Final rose: Vienna. No surprises here, Jessie (who we barely heard from) and Ashleigh are headed home. The girls spend the rest of the time stunned about Jake’s ‘decision’ to keep Vienna around.

Next week: San Fran and more Vienna bashing.

Bachelor On The Wings of Love Episode 2: I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With Any Staffer.

You know, two hours is a long time to watch any television show, let alone one with such brilliance, intensity and drama as The Bachelor. It's actually a long time for a movie, especially if it's He's Just Not That Into You (or HJNTIY if that's your bag), which I think ran at close to two and a half hours. Oh yeah, I've watched it. Read the book, too. Don't worry - I don't live with fifty cats and my parents. Anymore. Or yet.

But I digress - the Bach is an interesting show to blog about because, let's be honest with one another, blog reader, there is no shortage of ridiculous, dramatic, emotional, hilarious and stupid moments on The Bachelor. In fact, they never end. Every single line, every look, every time Jake chortles, every time Chris tings his champagne glass...they're all blog worthy. But, in this day and age, who has time for reading long blog posts, other than me? So, out of respect for you, for Chris, for Jake, for the ladies, and for all the 'staffers' on the Bachelor, I'm going to pick my top 10 lines of tonight's episode and recap tonight's madcap adventure we affectionally call The Bachelor from there.

Enjoy, y'all.

1. My hands are disgustingly dripping with sweat right now, like a five year old getting ready for recess with his girlfriend. (Spoken by girl-next-door Christina at the start of the first group date, a photo shoot with In Style mag with six of the girls.)

Um, what? A five-year-old 'getting ready' for recess? With his girlfriend? What exactly does that look like? I do feel for Christina, because I'd probably feel the same way. I would probably rather be doing a math test, too. First of all, a photoshoot is not really a date. Any activity with five other girls around is not what I'd really call 'a date', but whatever. Christina getting wasted on said group date probably didn't help her case either.

2. I felt like I got the shaft. (Roz to Jake about the photoshoot on the group date.)

Yeah, insert your own punchline here, people.

3. Today, I can show Ali how calm and free aviation really is. Feelings are taking off. (Jake to no one in particular (the viewers, I guess) during his date with Ali.)

God, I love Jake and every word that comes out of his mouth. Like saying 'aviation' instead of 'flying'. I know, I know, don't sweat the small stuff. But I can't help it.

Sidebar: On the Wings of Love is truly a classic song. And yeah, I blogged about that last week. And then had that song in my head all last week. On the Wings of Love, only the two of us, together flying high. Flying high up on the wings of love. Guess what, you'll have that in your head now, too.

I apologize for thinking Ali would be the one who had an inappropriate relationship. I now like Ali. Nice work, Bach producers, nice work. Next up we have Chicago in a private concert. Saturday, in the park, I think it was the 4th of July...and then: You're the meaning in my life, you're the inspiration. I wanna have you near me, I wanna have you hear me say, no one needs you more than I need you. When you love somebody, till the end of time. Was one of those cats Peter Cetera? I think not. Peter Cetera would turn over in his grave if he heard that Chicago was playing on the Bachelor, save for the fact that he is still alive and well and not turning in a grave anytime soon.

4. You entered into an inappropriate relationship with one of our staffers. That staffer is no longer working with us. (Chris Harrison to every single person he ran into on the set. Every. Single. Person.)

The line that will now go down as the most infamous one in Bachelor history. My first thought was, did Brad Womack get a job with the Bachelor? Because I could see Roz getting up his grill. Is that what the kids say? Grill? Whatever, you know I just like to bring up Brad Womack any chance I get. But back to the matter at hand. Chris Harrison deserves an Emmy for his performance in this episode alone. I'm not kidding. He has the best poker face ever. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I especially love how he says that she didn't just 'have' an inappropriate relationship, she 'entered' into one. Gasp. Why are the broads crying about this at the Rose Ceremony? I'd be laughing my ass off. And don't think I wouldn't. It's hilarious, Chris Harrison, I know you want to laugh, too.

5. It's naked and it's natural and it's me. (Elizabeth to Jake.)

Settle down, all you guys out there who pretend to hate the show but watch it faithfully every week. Ain't nobody getting naked. Yet. Elizabeth is just talking about what note writing means to her. I still like Elizabeth, and think she'll make it pretty far, plus the boots she was wearing at Six Flags were killer. But the whole note writing thing kind of lost a few points in my mind. Imagine if the tables were turned, and some dude read out a note he wrote. Oh wait a minute. Ryan Sutter anyone? Jason Mesnick probably? Ug. She did get her points back for her exchange with Jake during the fireworks. He's such a dolt, though. Seriously.

6. How could you not want to kiss me? (Said by Ashley (the PhD one, not the Miss America one) to the camera after Jake didn't take her bait.)

The bait being a look she gave him. Listen sister, I'm no expert in dudes, but a look is probably not going to cut it. He's was probably already looking the other way when said look was given. She's one part Maggie Gyllenhaal, one part Katie Holmes. I'll miss her. Oh. Spoiler Alert.

7. I have a rose, bee-yotch. (Said by Roz at the start of the Cocktail Party.)

Famous last words, Roz. Famous. Last. Words. Truthfully, I would hazard a guess (now who's being a dolt? Answer: Me.) that Roz probably didn't have sex with a staffer, but probably did violate some minor detail of her contract, which of course had to be played up to the nth degree, because really, without the Roz drama of this episode, what would we have been left with? Two hours that would have been better spent watching HJNTIY. Oh yeah, I went there. The show would have been that boring. Yawns all around. Even Michelle's drama-rama fell pretty flat.

8. She's friggin' Debbie Downer every single day, all day. (Said by Vienna about Michelle.)

Why is it that lines like this that win me over? Yes, Vienna is now in my 'hope she makes it far' column. But not too far. Let's not be ridiculous.

9. I don't think my personal life is really anyone's business. (Roz to Chris after 'The Confrontation'.)

I literally spit out my drink at this point. Um. Roz, when you signed a contract stating you'd be on a 'dating' show with 20 or so other 'contestants', I'm pretty sure your personal life just became my bizness, mmmkay? Thanks Roz. Now pack your bags and get the hell out of here. Don't let Chris-Bot's poker face distract you. He's been practicing that speech. He's probably drunk. But yeah, Roz, too bad. She definitely got the shaft on that one (Baaaa-zing!). Love how they show her packing. Was that the 'staffer' helping her pack? Hot stuff.

10 Can I get my rose back? (Jake to Chris after 'The Discussion'.)

Nice recovery, Jake. Way to not pull a Mesnick on this one. I gotta give him credit for that. Although...he did lean over the railing....no tears, though. Close to a Mesnick. So close. But not yet.

Bonus: I just hope giving Roz a rose is the only bad decision I've made so far. (Jake to me personally).

Um, you might be eating those words later, Jake.

And, the Cocktail Party comes to an abrupt end with Roz leaving. So. Cut to the Rose Giveaway:

Who Stays: Nanny Elizabeth, 'Friggin' Vienna, Gia, Tenley, Birthday Girl Ella, Valisha (forgot about her), Corrie (forgot about her too), Jessie (the Canuck), Ashleigh (Miss America), Michelle (whaaa?), and Kathryn (who?)

And Who Goes: Roz of course. Also Christina, and PhD Ashley.

Strange mix of girls to keep, no?

Bachelor On The Wings Of Love Episode 1: Can't Believe I Wasted a Whole Night Watching This

Earlier, I was thinking about how I was a slack blogger during last season's Bachelor and I thought I should share my excuse with you all. Part way though the Mesnick Chronicles of January 2009 I was a few minutes into an episode when my super pregnant body decided it was time to go in to labour. I 'sat' through the whole damn episode, contractions coming one on top of the other (not sure about this whole 7 minutes apart thing, because I never had them that far apart), cursing Jason Mesnick and then heading off to the hospital to birth my daughter the following day. Devoted fan, you say? Eh, maybe. Denial about impending motherhood? Eh, maybe. Needless to say, the rest of that season was a bit of a write-off. But thankfully, Jason Mesnick offed Jillian and Jillian offed Jake and Jake pulled a Mesnick and here we are, the Circle of Life continuing on and on and on. And I'm back to blog about it. Bring it on, Chris-Bot!

First of all, I think the Bach is reaching a state of self-parody, what with all the ridiculous pilot/flying references. The title of the whole damn season is 'Bachelor: On the Wings of Love' afterall. Why ABC didn't go with a Top Gun or even An Officer and a Gentleman theme is beyond me. And yes, I know in those movies that Tom Cruise didn't fly commercial planes and Richard Gere was in the navy or whatever, but come on. Either of those two themes would have been way better than 'Rose Air'. Imagine it: after each Rose Ceremony, instead of the all-too-predictable toasting of champagne glasses while rejected girls sulk off, Jake could ride off into the LA sunset with Take My Breath Away playing. Solid gold, ABC, solid gold. But I digress...get your boarding passes ready, we're ready to board Rose Air! (Oh lord, forget it, I can't do it. Just can't.

We start with the usual, no surprises: a reminder of how Jillian rejected Jake, Jake being pensive and moody, wandering the streets of Dallas in a terrible yellow t-shirt, thinking about how sad and pathetic his life had become, walking around his apartment sans shirt, talking about the most powerful emotion (LOVE, duh!). Next we see slow-motion shots of Jake on top of a skyscraper, skipping rope and doing push-ups sans shirt (For those who didn't watch the episode and think I'm kidding, soooo not!). Then Jake talks about his flying career and his childhood (don't worry, as a child, Jake always wore a shirt. Phew!). Next, we see Jake doing yardwork (you guessed it, shirtless). I'll tell you what, it's a good thing this cat puts his shirt on to fly a plane, because that would be an awesome clip to see - a shirtless Jake flying a plane.

And then, for a brief moment I thought that ABC had read my mind: we see Jake driving a motorcycle around California, with sun setting, and, no kidding, a plane flying above (is that Maverick flying the plane?? Awesome!) Finally, we have a shirtless run down the beach with some talk about how optimistic he is about finding his fiancee. Yawn. Same old.

Next, we meet up with Chris-Bot and get a sneak peak at some of the girls. I'm struck by how much this feels like a Miss America Pageant all of a sudden. Some of the girls start piling into a limo. Meanwhile, back at the farm, Jake is pensive and stressed because he had to put a shirt on and he and Chris-Bot chat about snuggling on rainy afternoons (not with each other of course), looking for love, and all that. A final question from Chris before we meet the girls:

Chris: Would you give up flying for love?

Jake: (after a very long pause) Love is more powerful than flying.

Dear God, For that line alone, I love this show.

First limo arrives. Nothing too notable, except our very first flying reference from the very first girl out of the limo, Rozyln. (Wasn't she on Frasier?) 'You'd better fasten your seat belt. It's going to be a bumpy ride'. Groans heard all around. Emily, a Fit model. Not sure what a Fit Model is. Ali, no voice but holding a peacock feather. Jessie: 'Do you have a registry for these guns?' (As she feels his arms.) Not even sure where to start with that one. A registry? Like a wedding registry? You put your guns on a registry, you don't have a registry for guns. Brad Womack would have least come back with something like, 'Hey, don't be touching those until you show me your tickets for the gun show.' And only Brad Womack could pull off cheese like that.

Next limo arrives. There is no way Ella is only 29. I'm just sayin'. Her kid was probably driving the damn limo. Kathryn has her puffiest purple prom dress on. Caitlyn is a spokesmodel. Elizabeth stacks the deck by pulling out a trick coin (but it's not a bad move, considering all the other crap the girls pull). Alexa decides to wear her motorcyle gloves with her evening gown. Hot. Vienna gets bold by feeling his abs (based on her preview, she'll be the early call for nut job). Corrie screws up her opening line: What do you think about Kissimmee? Kissimmee, Florida, you crazy skank. God, all these girls have waaay over-practiced their opening lines. I know they're trying hard to be memorable, but come on. Mentioning college football teams (Kimberly) and bringing dirt from your family reunion (Valishia) is just going too far. Next is Gia from Manhattan. Sooo pageant-y.

At this point, I've lost track of limos (and girls). The girls are coming in too fast for me to keep up. Or to care. Thankfully Chris shows up after the first 15 to give us all a breather.

Next up: Elizabeth, the nanny no mom wants to hire, who likes snowboarding and football. I like guys but this girl is hot. There is no way she's going home early. Channy will approve your mortgage for you while wearing a short dress and speaking Cambodian. Ashley, with a cardboard spinner and a big rack (oh yeah, I went there). Tiana, a Vancouverite (ahem) with no stupid one-liners, thankfully. Christina, the guy's girl with a basket full of jelly beans or some type of candy as a parting prize for all the other girls. I'm seriously not surprised some of these girls are single.

Ashleigh, with a dress cut way too short (nice camera work, by the way, ABC), and absolutley no balance. She actually tripped and fell right into his arms. Dear God, I love this show. Kirsten, who bashes Jillian. Stephanie, a dance teacher who wants to get the first dance with Jake. Sheila, a commercial pilot, who actually is wearing aviators. Michelle, an idiot who comes out of the limo pretending to be an airplane. Seriously. Is Jake a two-year-old? She tries to flirt with Jake by saying 'I, um, want to be a passenger, um, on your plane, maybe?' Hot.

Jake gives the girls a pep talk and then the party begins. Champagne flows. Claws come out. Sparks fly. Eyes roll. Hair gets flipped. There's talk about what zodiac sign everyone is (OMG, OMG, like, Jake's is aquarius. He's sooo dreamy, y'all). We learn that Jake is looking for inner beauty. Gag. One-on-one time begins. Girls get drunk and dresses get ripped accidently. Chicks get bitchy. Nothing surprising.

And then, the unthinkable happens: Channy says something in Cambodian, and then translates to English for us stupid people: 'Jake, you can land your plane on my landing strip anytime.' Never in my life have I wished for subtitles, because hearing her say it in Cambodian while reading it in English would have been priceless. WORST LINE EVER. I tweeted Chris Harrison earlier (oh yeah, I'm a cool social media chick, wouldn't you know, what with my 15 or so followers and all) that if I heard this, I might just have to quit the show. Surprisingly, Chris didn't reply to my tweet. DON'T MAKE ME QUIT THE SHOW, CHANNY. Landing strip. Pffft. Honestly.

Then the girls inside start discussing landing strips and big boobs rubbing people the wrong way. You know, girly stuff. Might as well just put on some jammies and start a pillow fight, girls. Instead of pajamas, one of the bach'ettes dresses up in a skanky stewardess outfit. More champagne flows. The nanny throws a football better than Jake. I might just marry this chick myself. Or set her up with Brad Womack (oh yeah, that'll work just fine). Next up, Blondes vs. Brunettes in a football game. Can't believe Jake didn't suggest Shirts vs. Skins. What a dumbass.

More partying. More champagne. Impromptu dancing. Chicks getting jealous. Michelle starting to crack at the seams. Jillian and Ed showing up to help Jake make his selection. That's right, the guy needs help. Already. Ed is actually hilarious. I'd like to see more of him on this show. Michelle beats out Vienna for nut job status. I'm starting to die a little on the inside. Is two hours up yet? This show is killing me. Get to the roses already!

First Impression Rose goes to.....Tenley.

Finally. The Rose Ceremony. Wow. Longest blog post and longest episode ever. Who stays and who goes? Jake gives a small pep talk before the roses and he tells the girls that if they don't receive a rose, it's nothing personal. Um. Not personal? Seriously, Jake, you might as well just pull a Mesnick right now, keep quiet, and fork over the roses.

Keepsies: Tenley, Ella (who's trying singlehandedly to bring back the banana clip), Nanny Elizabeth, Ali, Vienna, Christina (the guy's girl), Gia (Manhattenite), Ashley (stewardess outfit), Rozlyn (NOT from Frasier afterall), Jessie (one of the Canucks), Corrie (from Kissimee), Valishia (who handed him dirt), Ashleigh (who stumbled and fell when they first met), Kathryn (with the fake engagement ring), and Michelle (the nut job).

Going Homesies: Alexa, Elizabeth, Kimberly, Tiana, Emily, Caitlyn, Gia, Channy (I know, I was surprised, too), Sheila, Kirsten.

We end with highlights from the upcoming season. Looks awesome. Tears, scandal, drama, love, all the usual stuff.

My early pick for last girl standing: the nanny

My pick for girl most likely to have the affair with the show's producer: Ali

What are your thoughts? To help digest your thoughts (and perhaps your bile), maybe this will help: On the Wings of Love

See you next week!
