Bachelor Brought to you by the letter B

Bachelor brought to you by the letter

Birthday, Busts, Barfly…and a little bit of barf (ewwwww)

Wow! This Bachelor does not disappoint. Jason just gives and gives and gives on the show. Well that’s what the girls think.. Someone must tell them that this show has a few people called producers to organize all this…but hey…why rain on the reality show parade…but back to this Bachelor episode brought to you by B.

B….Birthday
Happy fourth birthday Sophie!! God bless Sophie..she didn’t cry like a baby when she smashed right into Stephanie’s shoulder when they ran toward eachother on the beach.The producers, I mean Jason, flew Sophie in on the one on one date so that mommy and Sophie could be together. Awww..very nice Jason. And the birthday is celebrated at Lego land…metaphorically perhaps representing the building blocks of their future? I’m calling her Lady Stephanie her on in. She really is lovely…very syrupy sweet…but so lovely. I just worry that Jason’s reaction to her is so sedate. He doesn’t really dress up the dates…and he doesn’t seem that enthusiastic about her. Jason was very kind to Sophie and even organized a cake…and gave Lady Stephanie and lego rose. I kinda think she’s out of his league…he’s not gentlemanly enough for her. And she seems like she would be the heavily accessorized belle of the Bachelor ball.

Bust Loose
In another philanthropic move, the girls and Jason will make busts to fundraise for breast cancer. Great cause and great thought…and great visuals for the Bachelor program for wet plaster to be applied to women behind a coloured screen. Then the girls (well maybe just Shannon and Megan) expressed their not so bright side later on in the date:
Shannon “ I just like to stare at Jason”
Megan “Can a fetus breastfeed”
Megan again “The girls don’t understand half my depth” and “there are a lot of girls that are good conversationists”
Megan yet again “It’s been hard being here because I’m used to living my life to serve other people and having people thank God I’m in their life and making a difference” she’s like Meghandi. Seriously..get over yourself.

And the rose on the bust loose, bust a breast date goes to...............JILLIAN …YAY!! Go Alberta go…Jillian seems so congenial and interesting and funloving!!!


Barfly..I mean bar-fly…(we’re not talking about Shannon yet)
The next individual date goes to Natalie...Jason has to determine what type of partner she would be. To do this you’d think maybe a teambuilding exercise like camping in the woods or orienteering might be in order but he tries to establish her character by bedecking her in million dollar diamond necklace/bracelet combo, a jet (and helicopter) trip to Vegas. Against a backdrop of glitz and facades, Jason will try to see if Natalie is just a barfly looking to party or is she ready for a serious relationship. Jason says he felt like James Bond walking in with Natalie..so he’s obviously attracted by the image of her. When Jason tries to peel away the layers and asks what she loves the most.and she said she loves clothes…and bears…what???? So while Jason and Natalie suck back some oysters to hopefully get the love vibe going…Jason has another surprise..but first more alcohol…some champagne and another private music performance..Kate Bogel (who?)..Kate was cute..she coulda been a bachelorette. After some bad sashaying cheek to cheek….it hit Jason…he didn’t feel it..and then he pulled a Deanna..and lead Natalie to believe the date was going well…by holding up the rose, saying it was the best date, then he pulls the rose closer to him and says BUT…..then rejects her.
Somebody pass Natalie the humble pie…Natalie cannot believe she is rejected ..saying she’s stereotyped because of her appearance…..And whilst going through the rejection…dude from ‘rent-a-jewel’ came to taketh the million dollar diamonds away. So she gets mad in the limo sayingto the camera ‘ you don’t have a connection with me..who do you think you are God’ yikes….looks like Natalie’s gotta belly up to the bar back in the windy city and blow off the rest of her hot air.

Barf….
Poor Shannon. I thought that all the bachelorettes went through a battery of tests to determine eligibility to the show…blood tests, psychological testing etc. I ain’t no psychologist..but it’s clear that Shannon is a little unstable..one minute she’s saying she can’t get out of her funk..the next she’s whipped into in a lather about Jason. At the cocktail party..Shannon became progressively more anxious. Perhaps alcohol doesn’t mix with Ativan..but Shannon became physically unwell. Speaking of things that didn’t sit well …what was up with Jason quizzing the girls about the politics in the house and questioning what other girls motivations were? Other things that didn’t quite sit well were some of the cocktail kisses..like Nikki missing Jason’s face.. …Back on the couch at the party..with tensions getting higher… Shannon makes a run for the bathroom..taking us to break for commercial..to the tune of the toilet flushing. This show just keeps getting better. Back from the break…Jason visits Shannon in the powder room and gives her a hug and offers to get her something…eww..hope they had mouthwash in that bathroom..if it was Nikkis’ bathroom the mouthwash would be right beside the toothbrush. More nausea ensued (from me) during Lady Stephanie’s attempt to show gratitude to Jason by asking him to close his eyes and proceeding to kiss his cheeks and forehead..I had to close my eyes..it was just too difficult to watch..it came across as maternal……nearly had to make a run for the WC myself. The this show really is too much. So Jason has a big decision to make in the deliberation room. Chris tries to stir the pot and highlights Jason’s confusion..then back in the Rose Room (first time I heard that term-the room where the rose ceremony occurs) there is one last chance to air grievances…which lead Shannon to run the toilet again..maybe that garnered her the sympathy rose.
Well…Jason finally made his decision..he cut Erica and Kari.
Well hopefully Shannon and my stomach settle in the next week to handle a new episode. Next week Shannon should be toasting with Pepto bismol instead of champagne…it’s kinda rose coloured after all….
Until next time…
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I keep wondering....is next week the week that Dee Aww Nah comes back??)
