Welcome back to reality:) Bachelor US style!

I've missed reality. I tried a dose of Bachelor Canada- but it wasn't the same. This Bachelor has more glitter, more chandelier earrings and more spray tans. It has a sparklier, warmer feel.

Sincere, smiley shirtless Sean is back!!! And he only wants to get engaged once..in this most amazing journey ever!!
But first..a vistor!

Arie-Fairy
Whah? Who? Who invited Arie? He came to coach Sean on how to make eye-contact, tousle and touch..and how to kiss. I do recall observing Arie has great technique. After the session with Arie...Sean politely dissed the tips..by saying "i'm not sure how useful that was". Yes. This is the straight up Bachelor. Hold the cheese

The Girls- Bios
Well..these girls don't seem like the brightest bulbs or buds of the Bachelor bunch, but they rank about the most earnest. Wanting true love, someone to complete them, their Prince Charming you know blah, blah blah.

The producers tried to introduce some complexity and layers...for example Ashley the self-proclaimed obsessive organizer for reasons that are clear-she had a childhood of uncertainty until the age of 6 when she was adopted. She's  sweet and grateful. Tear number 1 (okay maybe 2) from that.

Then Sarah with one arm-who later in the program stated that getting a rose would be validation for her and that sometimes she feels like she doesn't deserve love like everyone else. Ahh:( But does having someone choose you make you feel whole?

In between that we have quasi-wanna be gymnasts trying to backflip on wet stone work to stand out, a teacher in a pouffy wedding dress, yoga instructor,cruise ship singer, penny throwing, football playing, fancy handshaking, lace yielding women.
I thought Maryann's threat "well I drove (not walked)2000 miles to be with you", was a bit ominous..when she said "I better get a rose after this". Eek..maybe she should called on the two hairstylist Bachelorettes to fix her hair before she left the limo. Or the girl with Italian background who jokingly said my dad will break your legs if you don't choose me. Tee  hee...hahahaha...just a little ethnic stereotype. Whatevs who hasn't seen the Sopranos..or the Mob Doctor. Sigh...this show wrings stereotypes out at every opportunity.

But who was the most memorable...perhaps Ashley of the 50 shades of grey/sequins/shots/drunk/booty shaking quality. Ah. Tiresome. 50 Shades is so 2012. Very overdone. Very over. Ashley told Sean that she wanted to marry him and that her mom approved. I'm not sure if mom would be proud of her drunken display especially the a$$ flash outtake. That will take more than a B1/Advil/2 L of water plus greasy breakfast to get over. Remember there is still the Women Tell All.

Oh...this season has a lot of prom quality fashion. I did like Sarah's and Kacey's dress.

And word to Sarah and Teryn for not chasing Sean to 'steal him for a minute'.....

Seems like Sean likes the brunettes..mind you the first three brunettes had a not very illuminating discussion about whether they got a first impression rose. I think they were trying to determine if it was a first impression versus a best impression. Wow..that was a painful thing to listen to.

There was the most brief rose ceremony ever...
Not surprising, Ashley's booty dance (and tie) got the boot..as did the model with the debutante dress and shoulder grazing earrings. There were tears..over a guy they didn't know...goes to show...at this stage of the game..I mean journey to true love...the tears are for themselves, their perceived loss, their ego..but not for dear Sean.

Till next week, dreamy cute Sean..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
