I posted my Sunday video on Saturday so that my post on The Bachelor wouldn't be double long on Monday. Tonight was a special Sunday night episode of The Bachelor: The Women Tell All , so you get back-to-back posts. Tonight is supposed to be one of the most dramatic Women Tell All ever, of course, followed by an ending to the season like never before. We wouldn't expect anything less. After starting off with a "Best Of" reel from Tell Alls past featuring some women I remember, but not necessarily which men they were after each time, we are re-introduced to 18 women (from the 29 was it?) from this season. There's three left, so I guess eight of the early departures aren't there. I have to be honest, I couldn't have picked several of these out of a line-up. The season has gone by quickly, but I might just be losing my memory. Honestly, I've had some other, heavier, things on my mind lately, so maybe that played a part. There's always the case th...

Image from https://twitter.com/BachWinterGames. I know I said I wasn't going to blog about The Bachelor Winter Games , and I'm not going to do a recap post like I do for The Bachelor , but... Oh, my goodness, y'all! If you watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, this is hilarious. I'm just finishing up the first of two episodes from this week. When the first episode started, with the parade of nations coming in (there are contestants from various countries) and the official anthem (which was horrendous and stupid), I thought, "This is going to be dumb." There still is an aspect of stupidity, don't get me wrong, but this is so much funnier than the normal show and so much better than Bachelor in Paradise. I like people scrambling to find a connection - both men and women - and it's more interesting when you don't know EVERYONE. The people from other countries are interesting too. Except the girl from Japan who doesn't understand Engli...

Tonight Rachel will narrow the field of six down to the four men she will take on hometown dates. Everyone is in Geneva, Switzerland this week. When Rachel comes in to give them a rundown of the week, she announces there will not be a rose ceremony. There will be three one-on-one dates and a group date and roses will be given on the dates. The first one on one goes to Bryan. The others are deflated as she tells Bryan to go get ready. She tells the men to trust her and not get in their heads.  Adam doesn't get why she's into a guy like him and is now angry he gets more time with her. Rachel walks Bryan out to a Bentley convertible, and he is giddy. They drive around the city, passing the United Nations and the other sites. Since Switzerland is known for chocolate, cheese and watches, they go watch shopping. She buys him (and herself) a big honkin' watch. From there, it's a boat ride. She finds a quiet confidence about him very attractive. I still don't real...

Here it is on Tuesday night at 10:30, and I'm finally about to start my blog on The Bachelorette. My friend, Rachel (not to be confused with the actual Bachelorette), was over last night, and we were working on a VBS project. Therefore, I didn't watch. Peyton had a softball game tonight, then when I got home, I got to working on backlogged blog posts and chatting with a couple of friends, so I am just now getting going. I hope it goes quick. This week's episode starts with everyone going outside to see what DeMario has to say to Rachel. He showed up to talk to her after she kicked him to the curb yesterday when his girlfriend came on the scene. Security asks the guys to back up and give Rachel and DeMario a moment. DeMario wants another chance and throws mottos and life quotes at her. He still has a woman in his life, right? Rachel said she gave him a chance to 'fess up in the gym. She can't let him lie to her and come back in. The attorney in her stands her...

There will be no more Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, etc. until January. Whatever am I going to blog about on Mondays for the next few months?  I'm already going to have some trouble filling my blog for the rest of the month.  I saw online where Luke was supposed to be the next Bachelor and that right before they announced it, they kicked him out to bring Nick in. Turns out since people started liking Nick a little bit more, they thought it would be a bigger draw. I would have gone for Luke. He seemed more normal. I want to see people that are more normal. Obviously, that doesn't make for good TV though. The fall TV season will be starting soon, so I need to pick some new shows to watch. I do have the opportunity to do some TV reviews and/or summaries on a new website that also reviews books. We'll see how that goes! 

So, Evan is not the only person who can't take a hint. Ash Kardash is back in Paradise and once again after Jared. I feel sorry for the guy. Tonight, with the show open, I realize that the show really doesn't need Chris Harrison at all. Of course, Ashley I. aka Ash Kardash because she reminds me of a Kardashian, gets a date card. She tells Chris Harrison that she and Jared are really good friends, but it will never be "just friends" for her. She says they have had nothing going on the past 5 months or more. She doesn't know why they aren't together. I do. Chris asked her about her crying. She says her goal is to only cry three times. "A day?" he asks. All together. When she arrives, Jared has to put on his fake happy face and give her a hug. The whole vibe changes. She immediately asks to take Jared off. She asks what has been going on. He said he started off with Emily, but he's into Caila as of yesterday. She's trying not to cry. ...

Thankfully, tonight's episode of Bachelor in Paradise is only an hour long because A) I don't want to blog longer than that for sure and B) Peyton and some friends are over tonight. I don't want to be overly present, but I don't want to ignore them either. To start the morning, Jared or someone is trying to count his abs? Is it 5? Josh and Amanda are going after it way too early in the morning. Nick swears to Daniel that he's not mad. Yeah, right. I'm going to say what I have said before... parents should not go on this show. Period. If they do, they need to be more responsible that to get with any and everyone. Sarah has a compliment Daniel session. He wants to take her on a date whether he gets the card or not. Poor Sarah may just be taking any attention she gets. A rare night arrival comes on the scene. It's Christian from JoJo's season. He opens his date card. "Who are you falling for. Choose a date." The girls all find him attr...

I should be watching the Olympics. Instead, I'm watching Bachelor in Paradise. Well, at least I can fast forward through all the commercials and sports I am not as interested in when I watch it later. So, tonight, we start off seeing if Chad actually left after Chris Harrison sent him off. While everyone is cheering his exit (that was deja vu), Chad is throwing a hissy fit. He can't figure out what it is he's going to do with his life after this. He is eating lunch meat on his way out, furnished in the car, of course. He also kicks himself for drinking the first night. The women whine that Chad leaving does mean one less rose, and now one more girl will go home. More competition arrives. Leah from Ben's season. The twins muse how different she looks. She does. Like unrecognizable. The twins think she is going to bring the tornado of drama. Well, she thinks she and Lace are friends, but Lace disagrees Leah arrives with a date card. "Leah, it's finally time...

A dramatic new season of  Bachelor in Paradise . I don't know if I can really handle this train wreck. There's so many people I can't stand. And I'm not talking about Chad. I'm talking about Ash Kardash and Amanda's voice and Nick. Sigh. Fights, marriage proposals and tears. Chris Harrison calls it jaw-dropping. Honestly, the best part of this whole show is the opening sequence with "Almost Paradise" playing even though last season's was better. How fast will the hook-ups start? The pre-arrival interviews... The Taylor Swift twins are the first introductions. Will anyone know the difference between Haley and Emily? They think so. I am not so sure. Nick, who is now 35 is going to be one of the old people. He as rejected by both Andi and Kaitlyn at the end. He's interested in getting to know Jubilee. Not going to lie. I find that odd.  Speaking of Jubilee, there she is. She has been told she can be unapproachable. After watching ...

So how about that preview of the season? Do you have the final 3 figured out yet? I was in the process of pulling the share code for that video and wanted to compare it to the video I posted last week. When I played the video from last week's post, I have no idea what the heck it was showing. Some comedy with medieval royals? Oh, I guess it was Galavant. NOT what I intended to post. I think that ABC pulled tricks on the video. So sneaky. So unfair. Before I forget, I'm also super annoyed that we had to sit through the live conversations with Andi and Josh last week only to hear their announcement that they are no longer together a few days later. I knew something different about him. He was awful quiet. #lastpaidengagement So, tonight's episode picks up where last week's ended. Kimberly wants to talk to Chris before she really leaves. She didn't get a rose, and she evidently wants another chance. They step out into the daylight and she tells him she felt t...
