Warning: If you can't handle a little Bachelorette trash talking or if you haven't yet watched the finale of TBL...read no further!!!
Last night two of my girlfriends came over to enjoy a fabulous dinner of soft tacos with lots of fresh toppings including avocado, black beans, corn, cilantro, green onions, and salsa (prepared with love by yours truly) and then we watched the premier of The Bachelorette. At several points during the two hour reality tv session, I thought to myself how I could never ever subject myself to being on a show like that because the over the top corniness of the men is ridiculous to me. Not only were this group of 25 "amazing" men that Ali was "so excited" about not all that good looking, but none of them seemed to be anything that I would be looking for (ok you know I am married and obviously not looking for a man, but even if I were a single girl on the prowl none of those bozos would be what I was looking for!). Ok, there were a few guys who were pretty attractive and who seem like good guys, but there were too many over the top attempts to get Ali's attention and the whole idea of a single person pretty much testing 25 strangers in order to find love over the course of a 6 week period after which he/she entirely anticipates getting engaged is just getting sickening and it's getting old. Yet....of course I will continue watching, because the nature of reality tv is like that of a train wreck--you just can't stop looking.

My friends and I all agreed that we much preferred Ali's "look" from when she was on Jake's season of the Bachelor. She was cute and fresh in a girl next door kind of way who portrayed her love of the color yellow over and over. Last night, we thought it looked like she had extensions in her hair (anyone else notice that!?) and her black dress just did not seem her style (not that I know her, but you know what I mean). I hope she finds love, but I am becoming a Bachelor/ette skeptic....they seem to have the same darn things happen over and over again...such a coincidence!
Ok, enough sarcasm. Let's get down to business....Who did you love & who did you hate?
If you click on the word "slideshow" you can view all the guys who received roses to refresh your memory!
I totally thought that Jonathon the weather man
was this kiddo all grown up....
Do you remember him as Michelle Tanner's little pinching friend on Full House?
And the little kid who said Girls have a (you know) and boys have a (you know) in Kindergarten Cop.
Do you see the resemblance?
Well, it's not him, but it was a funny to think that he grew up and went on a reality show to find love.
So far I don't have any favorites....Not feeling any of the guys yet at all!

In other reality tv news...I set the alarm for 5:00 this morning so I could get up and watch the Live finale of The Biggest Loser. Another show that I just don't love with as much umph anymore. I liked the cast this time, especially Sam, Sunshine & Oneil, but I didn't get as emotional over their weight loss journeys and transformations as I have in the past. I can remember watching a previous finale while doing some time on the elliptical at my gym back in OR and crying with tears coming down my cheeks because I was so overwhelmed with how the contestants looked. This time, eh, not so much.
Go Michael!
Michael obviously did an amazing job and changed his life forever--which is great to see!
I am still a big fan of the show, but I have liked previous seasons better.
Were you happy with the winner?
Did you think that Michael and Ashley were going to announce a relationship
(because I did!)
(because I did!)

I so thought a relationship was going to be announced. I still think that it is going to come out in the next week or so.
