I've done something I am ashamed of

Knowing the ending does not spoil things for me. I flip to the end of books to verify certain characters stay alive, I read plots before I go to movies...SO, checking out what Reality Steve (a well known reality TV blogger known for his spoilers.) didn't seem like a dangerous idea.

DEAR READER: I will never spoil the show for you here. That is not my purpose.

I read what Reality Steve had to say about the Bachelor, and to be honest, it left me more confused. It seems he has a high rate of predicting the outcomes of reality TV, but I still can't decide if I believe him. Example, Rozlyn was removed from the show for her "inappropriate relationship." Reality Steve says that ABC manufactured the seriousness of this friendship to force Rozlyn off the show. She was, you see, very angry that ABC wouldn't let her talk with her son as much as they had originally claimed.

Ok, ok, I was ready to believe old Reality Steve. But after watching the show, the little snippets that they showed of Rozlyn's reaction left me believing something really did happen. Why would she act as if there were not words for her actions if she didn't commit some type of wrong?

My best friend, Stephanie, notes that she is drawn to place her trust in Chris Harrison, the host. I liked that response, but Chris is paid. If only we really knew we could trust Chris.

Who do we trust? And why am I asking for trust from a reality TV show?

Premiere Recap!

Last night was AWESOME! Can I tell you how great it feels to let my love for bachelor be professed in theopen in form of blog? Thank you to all who showed up last night to follow live twittering.

The show was a typical premiere- the intrigue was in rash judgements. It would be stressful to have to pick in so little time. Although, I guess that is how the first step in most dating relationships work. There is a world of women (or men!) around us, and we must decide whether to approach or not based on looks/brief words.

Listen up, Jake. This isn't the hard part. You better be prepared to deal with mixed emotions and dual affections--I cannot take another Jason episode. I want hissy fits and wild confessions (and behind the scenes affairs! btw- it was a crew member and one of the ladies), but no change of heart after you decide who your final choice is.

And now reader, a few things that you might enjoy perusing:

• The real link to Jake's blog for this season is here.
• Host Chris Harrison's blog post for the premiere.

btw, I watched conveyor belt of love afterward. um. I'm definitely proud of Blond Bomshell and Chris Farley.

ABC intoduced the Bachelorettes on their website. Pictures, ages, occupations and hometowns. Click above and check the ladies out. I'll post my picks later.

Comment of intrigue for the day (said in comment section about bachelorette Beth. I'll highlight the best parts.):
I've known Beth for about 15 years. She must be outta money or desperate for a man because this is SO like her. Back when we went to school together she was a backstabber, a liar, and NOT a very good friend. In fact, I'm not sure how many friends from "the good ole days" she's even is in contact with anymore. She moves around a lot, uses men to get what she wants (she was sued by an ex for money she "borrowed" and never paid back You can see her on an episode of Christina's Court). AND a "nanny?" I highly doubt it. She uses that as an occupation so people don't ask questions. And I'm sure she's good with kids...oh wait, she gave her own up for adoption!!

There is some serious drama on the horizon.

Events until Bachelor!

Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the Epiphany of Christ AND THEN Bachelor!

It's coming up, so be ready. Block off your evening for January 4, 2010.

What dish should I eat that night...special cocktail? Do I invite friends over...I don't behave well when people talk during this show because each word counts towards guessing who the final lady will be. I'll have to think on this one.

Happy anticipating!

Flying High on the Wings of Love

There is just not a blogger font pretty enough to write the name for this season of the Bachelor (Jake is a commercial pilot):
