Well, I never did post my thoughts about last week, but they were more on the philosophical side -- a commentary about the stereotypes that drive me crazy because they are all too true (i.e., the ditzy, artificial girls too often get the guy) -- as illustrated by the story of my life as a BYU co-ed. But that is perhaps more appropriate for another time. Let's just get down to business.
After the first two episodes, I had my concerns that Jake was one of those silly boys who could not see right through the afore-mentioned type of girl, and there wasn't one girl left whom I could whole-heartedly root for. Having said that, I liked Alli and Tenley the best. I agreed with Alli and Ashleigh though -- "if Jake likes Vienna, he may not be my type!" (I LOVED Jakes and Alli's date, too. And Brooke -- you love Elvis AND Chicago? No wonder I love you so much!) You just wish Jake could see those crazy little bio clips as well as the mean-girl talk at the house. What real man would be attracted to a woman who loves to dress up her little mini-dog and have a snack together at a sidewalk cafe?!?! Or to a woman who actually asks, with a gaggy smirk, "have you registered these guns?" Honestly, would he have kept some of these crazy women on without being under some duress? (Michelle?!?) Brooke, I love your reference to Rachel Lynde, regarding Rozlyn -- could he REALLY not see that coming?!?
Yes, we are being manipulated by the producers, but the worst manipulation of all is of Jake -- which is so sad. I really think he's quite sincere in his search for true love. It is sickening to me that the producers would give him such slim pickens as far as just normal, smart, nice, good girls. I wonder if he has any say in the selection process of the "contestants." I must say that this last episode gave me a little more hope in Jake's judgment & taste. Michelle was rightfully kicked to the curb. Her gross "comedy" routine was reason enough, but on top of her complete desperation and instability, her departure was way overdue. And I agree with Lexi, and Jake, that Elizabeth was a total gameplayer. I really think he saw the real Elizabeth in her raunchy comedy act. Lastly, I am wondering why that Jessie and Corrie are still there. He hasn't made any attempt to talk to them alone. I never thought either of them would make it past the first episode. And yes, I felt really sorry for Valishia. He never did talk to her either, and they never elaborated on her situation as "homemaker."
I better stop for now. Both girls are asleep, and I actually want to watch the news tonight! Right on, Massachusetts!!! Hope the rest of you weigh in soon .... Love, Suz

ana and I skyped today and talked mostly about the bachelor... brooke, you just took our whole conversation and basically summerized it perfectly. although we talked a lot about how much GIa's mouth is distracting. Ali is kinda getting ridiculous about her hatred for Vienna. And we basically just love Tenly! I will be sad if I miss a Bachelor party finale :(
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - I'm late in commenting but you are so dead-on with everything! Maybe one day there will be an E True Hollywood Stories episode where they reveal all the secrets of this show. If I had any guts I'd pull aside our friend who was one of the bachelorettes on the season with Andrew Firestone and pry answers out of her.
ReplyDeleteIt would make me feel alot better if I knew Jake had at least been in on some of the PRE-elimination. But, I kind of think if he had been they would make a big deal out of it. Anyway, love your comments. Keep em coming. And YES - right on with Massachusetts!
