The Bachelorette ~ Week 8

in Finding the Funny
A review of my favorite mindless TV while on drugs. This is my disclaimer. It was my very minor surgery day and the meds are wearing off.
Ali’s audition for her new job in the entertainment industry is still in full swing.
Her incessant giggling is getting on my last nerve.
Roberto’s Hometown Date
It’s a shame they didn’t let her get to the hairdresser for a shampoo and a root coverup before meeting his family.
That baseball date was dreamy. Ali being hysterical giggling while they two of them had the whole field to themselves while he carried her around the base as she straddled him made us all uncomfortable.
Weird.
The brother has a blonde wife too. Hmm
I do love how important his family’s opinion was to him. Tampa is a great place to have your in-laws live.
She just doesn’t seem like she can handle him. Don’t see her picking him.
Hometown Date with Chris
Does anyone know – did his mom die recently?
No dog connection. Dog ran right by her. Deal breaker.
More hysterical giggling. Please stop the nervous laughter.
Boots with heels on beach. Strange.
Without being disrespectful to those who have passed, I thought maybe they would go to Ali’s grandma’s empty house and she could tell him that story. (The darling twins and I discussed this fond memory from last season.)
Hands down genuine family guy with humor. What else do you need?
We’re not sure but we don’t think she’s picking him.
Kirk’s Hometown Date
Welcome to taxidermy hell.
Caribou foot with googly eyeballs glued on. Does anyone know where I can buy one of those? Perfect Christmas present!!
Hasn’t brought many gals home. Hmmm…would that be because Dad is a freak?
Loved that Kirk’s dad had the heart-to-heart conversation with Ali down in the basement with the freezer full of frozen animals and popsicles. And hundreds of dead animals surrounding them.
Seems to be a death theme pervading these hometown dates.
Bring on the cheesy potatoes – thank you grandma!
I’m from the Midwest but this Wisconsin visit was embarrassing.
Hometown Date with Frank
The only thing Frank and Ali seem to have in common (besides just being weird together) is dirty hair.
Frank’s v-neck/scoop neck tank needed a little lace embellishment with his buttoned up cardigan.
Why did getting on the boat in Chicago elicit giggling?
Frank and his self-doubts and insecurities are ridiculous. Especially since we know he’s fighting feelings for his ex-girlfriend (and perhaps his ex-boyfriend – just sayin’ – the thumb ring is still on).
The Rose Ceremony
The Humpfreeze house was unanimous that Kirk was leaving. We’re not sure what her criteria is. Her words were “It’s not about you or me…” and then something about them together. I’m so confused. If it’s not about him or her, what is this show about?
Kudos to Kirk. He was a true class act leaving. I like a guy who doesn’t cry.
I’m making my personal prediction that she picks no one. We’re all being strung along on her job audition and her future does not include picking anyone. She is really stringing along all these families in the name of the job audition.
I see her and Jake having their own series next year.
Just speculating on all this…weigh in and tell me what you think.
Side note: Mostly, at our house, we’re hoping that Roberto and Ali don’t work out because Wizzy is on her way to South Carolina to meet him.
One year ago..
Was so excited to get an email that you had an update! Love my Tuesday blog checking while I avoid work. Her hair was just a disaster. But I noticed the roots were taken care of in time for the rose ceremony. I just sat and laughed at Kirk’s Dad; now we all know why he doesn’t take girls home. Roberto…oooh la la! He is one fine looking young man but I think he’ll do better in life than Ali. I ♥ Chris and I think that will work out. Chris and Ali in the end but I won’t bet on how long! Also, I think Vienna is the biggest whiner, loser, piece of work ever. I’ve seen Jake referred to as a “tool” so many times, I don’t disagree. However, she’s just as bad. I hope I don’t have to see anymore of them anytime soon. Glad you’re back, yes, I noticed you were absent!
Mollie–Let’s be clear that we knew Vienna was ICKY way before he picked her. That was a given. What wasn’t revealed until these recent interviews is what a complete POSER he is and he is more plastic and face than a Ken doll! His anger issues while he tries to play the calm and reasonable card are just plain SCARY!!!
On the Ali front, I think Roberto and Chris can both do so much better than her and her incessant giggling!!
okay, so as my daughter once said, “I think I am going to blow a casket!” That pretty much says it all for me.
Frank, freak, we already know that, and I’m annoyed that they are wasting my time.
Kirk’s hair was too much for me to get past. What’s up with that anyway?
Roberto, I missed that part, but I am voting for Wizzy!
And then Chris (is that his name)….he is the best…loved the family, etc, but she is a freakin LOSER! OMG, I cannot even stand this, and am so personally insulted by the entire show.
And JAKE? Cripes, he is an anal piece of work. Did you see that show? “She was undermining him” when she wanted to move the dresser to a different wall. BIG RED FLAG, FREAK!
I know you didn’t like “the sausage”, but I way prefer her to Ali, the fake, and Jake the fake freak!
Hope you are on the mend nicely!
What’s on tv tonight?
Nancy–Wait, I think Frank is going to “blow a casket” next week so don’t waste your energy on blowing yours!
Kirk’s hair looked way, way better than his mom’s with her lovely bumpit. ROFL
Jake and Vienna deserved each other’s dysfunction and the show has really run its course for me except for pure entertainment and laughter. There’s no searching for true love on this show and they need some fresh writers for the script!
