Duh and/or Hello!

So I've been watching some episodes of the past season of the Bachelor and I've gotten up to the episode where they go on their hometown dates. Some of these women are incredibly overly-emotional, whiny and insecure. Most women that get eliminated cry during their exit interviews, even women that are eliminated during the first week! I mean come on, you barely know the guy! Granted these women are place in an uncomfortable, tense and unique dating situation. They're cut off from the world for the most part and most topics of conversation are the Bachelor. And because this guy is physically attractive and a good guy who actually talks about his emotions and is contractually prohibited from trying to get into your pants right away, so many women just build up this fantasy of who this guy is without getting to know him and fall in love with the fantasy and not the actual man he is. Constant boozing and being forced to live with a handful of passive-aggressive bitchy women definitely adds to the insanity. The filming of the entire season last only about a month and half, so most of these women only spend a couple of weeks with the guy. Granted you go on these amazing dates straight out of a movie or a dream which make it that much easier to get wrapped up in this fairytale like romance, but I would like to think a level-headed women would be able to keep her composure when a guy you've only know for a few weeks tells you it's not working out after a few weeks. Maybe level-headed women are not cast on this show. Or maybe all level-headedness goes out the window after that hot bod and those blue eyes.

And another thing, why is the Bachelor/Bachelorette always caucasian? Can we get some diversity on these shows? It'd make the show more interesting.

Moving onto the women in the house, WTF is up with Michelle? She has some funny moments but was generally just annoying. But so is the girl she has the rivalry with in the house, whatshername, Chantal. AND WOW! So is Ashley! What's is up with this girl? She definitely drank way too much on the show which probably led to her whining, insecurities, and making all those faces. Wow. I saw her season of the Bachelorette and she was actually a likeable girl. I mean aside from her crying on one of the episodes saying how one of her biggest fears was that the guys wouldn't be into her because they would have wanted Emily or one of the other girls. Ridiculous. Own you girl! Be proud of who you is! Her and her boo are totally adorable together so I guess it all worked out!

Michelle was completely different on the Bachelor Pad, too. I guess living with girls who're after the affection of the same guy you're interested is disastrous to your personality. I'm guessing the same personality turnover happened with Ali on her season of the Bachelorette, although I found her to be so irritating and bitchy on Jake's season, I saw no reason to watch her season of the Bachelorette. Bleh. I prefer annoying over bitchy any day.

It's no wonder Brad wound up choosing Emily. She doesn't cry about being insecure due to him having feelings for the other girls. Neither does the other Chantel (the one that kinda looks like Hilary Swank). They get it. They're understanding. I hope Chantel makes it to the final two. It would make watching the remaining episodes a lot easier. As if anyone's forcing me to watch this. Sometimes I annoy myself.

A different show that I've recently started watching is Archer. Hilarious so far. It has the charm of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with morons yelling hilarious and/or ignorant things most of the time. Plus Archer is hot, even though he is a cartoon, his body is hot! Plus Aisha Tyler is one of the voices on the show and she's awesome.

After Bachelor Pad's Season 2 Finale

Just to warn you, this post is all over the place. Still gotta get around to working on the blog's template.

Another group of reality series I've gotten into are the monstrous productions of Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad. I'd only seen Jake's season of the Bachelor, which was a tame and enjoyable reality dating show compared to other dating shows I'd seen like Flavor of Love and my personal favorite, I love New York. Oh my, I really did love New York. She was hilarious. Whatever happened to her? My internet's being a real POS otherwise I would've included some images of my fave diva. Whateva. Do a Google search. She used to rock this gorgeous olive eyeshadow. I'm gonna have to do some research and follow up on my girl. Getting back to the Bachelor, I actually liked Jake and Vienna, individually and as a couple. I never saw the reasons why the other girls bitched about Vienna. She seemed real to me. Then after the show, they broke up, disaster ensued in the media and then earlier this summer come to live under the same roof for our viewing pleasure in season 2 of the Bachelor Pad.

Honestly, they were the only reason I tuned in. Butttt, the male eye candy is the reason I kept watching. Especially William Holman. Hot DAYUM! I found him so attractive I went and searched for the season of the Bachelorette he was on. And I ended up watching the entire season, obvi. How could I resist all those grown men under one roof, ready for a serious relationship, suited up and sexified. Mm mm. Honestly, this may sound a little pathetic, but it just confirmed that there are decent guys out there, even though I've only been interacting with clowns lately. Back to William, a sexier Josh Lucas. Man was his exit interview so emotional and heartbreaking. Jeez. Emotions run high and heavy on these shows, and unlike the castmembers on Bravo, VH1 or MTV, I found the contestants on the Bachelorette to generally, be more mature (excluding Bentley but let's forget about that fool) so you really feel for these guys. Now I'm thinking about watching Brad's season of the Bachelor. From what I've seen, he seems like a hot guy with a hot bod. I'll watch nearly everything meeting that criteria. Why else do you think I watched Vampire Diaries for nearly two seasons? Sexy eyes Ian Somerhalder, that's why. Alas, the terrible acting on that show overcame my desire for him and I've moved on.

Hottie #2 from Bachelor Pad was Graham. Those blue eyes? Ooh wee. I did some snooping around on him and came across his clothing website, 46NYC. The icon for the site has the numbers 46 and then FOR SIX right underneath it. Why not FOUR SIX? Is there a reason for this or is it just a terrible typo? If you saw Bachelor Pad's season finale, you came to know that Michelle Money's father passed away from colon cancer. Now 46NYC has a t-shirt available created in remembrance of her father, with part of the proceeds going to a foundation created in his name. Which brings me to the reason behind this post, on the t-shirt page, there's a picture of Michelle. Check it out. Now it's sad that her father passed away, and good for her for starting a foundation for cancer research and all that, but am I the only one who finds this picture to be inappropriate? Not only are her accessories a mismatched disaster, why would she choose plunging neckline top that she would have to go braless for that also SHOWS HER NIPS? Kind of awkward =/ Basic photo retouching could've removed that, even I have those photo editing abilities. It just seems to be a strange choice of attire for this particular cause, and somewhat unlike what I've seen of her before. She was always well-dressed on the Bachelor Pad. Maybe she doesn't care. Good for her! It's definitely something many females are self-conscious about, so it popped out at me.
