Rhymes with Yawn

Yep that's who won/found true love.

Yawwwn....I'm tired! This love journey was exhausting and 3 hours of this tonight.

Shawn got the go!  Nick got the heave-ho.

And some details
Nick's beard...maybe I'm reading too much into this show..(like my English 100 prof said to me.."you're looking for symbolism where there is none" :( Whatever...I'm just super deep. hahaha..
But I thought it was funny that Nick started looking a bit primal. Me thinks (that's kinda Shakespearean right?)..Nick wanteth to looketh like Shawneth.

The gifts
Nick's gift...he says it's in the bedroom (lol...I'm sure a lot of men think their gift is in the bedroom..) But Nick he meant literally it was in the bedroom). Why couldn't he get up and  retrieve it..hmm one last visit to bedroom before the engagement perhaps? Revive some some Dublin lovin' memories?? The gift looked like a frame from Winners. I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth..I"m just calling a spade a spade. Yes..very cliche statements..but this show if full of cliches.

Shawn's gift...looks like he went to Michael's and bought the jar.at least Shawn's gift seemed like it was thoughtful.

The Balcony contemplation
The day of the proposal..most bachelors  or bachelorettes contemplate by windowside or typically on a balcony..guys with less than 15% body fat tend to contemplate best with their shirts off..(Maybe they engage their six packs erstwhile...Bachelorettes typically are in a flow dress or a housecoat usually with a coffee or journal. Kaitlyn was in a housecoat..Nick kept his shirt on..and Shawn..shirtless..(and that's always okay Shawn..)

Btw..Shawn must have had access to a weight room and ample lean protein during the season...because he looked excellent while thinking really hard...He was even taking notes so he could recite all of his feelings to Kaitlyn...(he's be a good Toastmaster..hey Shawn..if ever in Edmonton..please drop by our club as a visitor:)



Neil Lane visit
I found  this Neil Lane visit especially funny. Neil Lane's engagement ring suitcase looks like the suitcase-type box where my sister keeps her fancy cutlery . You'd think that Neil Lane's diamonds would have a  be like a bullet proof metal case that is handcuffed to his wrist. I don't think Neil watches the show...he had no idea who Nick was...all he cared bout is that people said "Neil Lane" a few times on this show. The rings were huge...I can't comment on the C's. I'm clueless about the C's...doesn't matter DeBeers has us all convinced they are valuable.

The Proposal
Nick's suit looks like it got a bit tight..and he still had his stacked beaded bracelets on. Seriously? Nick is first out the limo. Yeesh...this limo should not have rolled in..why did she make Nick stay and then almost propose to her. I do agree with Nick...I wouldn't have wanted to stick around and here her  cry about how much she loved him in the moment. I would have been.."Ok"..gotta return this ring. and hit the airport.you can't console the person you are breaking up with...Nick was rejected..walked out by Kaitlyn..into the limo he went and then he kinda chucked the Neil Lane ring (but chucked it where he find it later to give back to NL..who probably won't recognize it a second time) and he threw the Irish bands they bought in Dublin....I'm sure the guy that cleans the limos will find the ring before next season:)

Shawn
That guy looks good with or without a shirt..I loved his black tie! Smashing!! He was delightful and eloquent and heartfelt...Kaitlyn kinda was holding back but then said..she would be faithful to him 4-evah! I hope so...I think Shawn's a good guy.

They are happy...for now..hopefully they work.

After the rose..
this was long and unnecessary.
Nick seems like he's done some growing. no..not just his beard..but as a person..he didn't seem angry..and looked like he wanted to make the best of it.
Chris asked questions to try to fan flames.
Shawn still harbours ill will toward Nick..Shawn you gotta put down that 100 lb plate of hate down:)
Both Kaitlyn and Shawn's hair looks darker.
Kaitlyn feels like it's Christmas day because they can to to Starbucks or Tim hortons together (umm i think only Starbucks is open on Christmas Day ) lol.

Who is the next bachelor..i'm guessing Ben H.
Yeesh..did you see Bachelor Pad previews...looks like a a lot of conjugal  congenial activities that will be happening of the on this upcoming season.

Until next time Bachelor/Bachelorette faithful..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!

Men re-tell all

Not much happened.
At all. Except that the preview for Bachelor Paradise seems like a recipe for emotional instability.

Ian awkwardly got down on his knees (after he took off his jacket)..and apologized to the guys.
Nice that some of the guys accepted his apology.
I did think it was funny when one of the guys said that princeton needs to teach a course on how not to be an a$$hole.

Clint and JJ- they were intellectually curious about each other..and JJ said there was a lot of meat for him. You can't make this stuff up.

There was more time given to whether Nick should have been on the show...oh let's give that up already.

Ben Z has still not shed a tear.
The other Ben thinks it's a common fear that people think they're unloveable. Aww Ben..I love the sharing:)

Jared shaved!! (and Chris H also disliked the patchy beard..way to go Chris).. Is Jared such an emotionally evolved guy....or is he super nice , can't believe he got this far...and is just being polite.
I'm not sure...I don't get his appeal.
I do think he was waxed and shaped his eybrows some more..i guess he was on a roll with cleaning up the beard.

Oooo..this was new..cyber Kaitlyn hate.
What the? Whoa..why are people so angry at Kaitlyn? If you don't like the show ..turn it off...and it seems like these people are so so angry. It seems like Kaitlyn takes it as well as she can. It's a dating show people..that is not grounded in reality....dating is supposed to be fun.
Yeesh...I think that Jared.aka Captain Love..should help some of those haters out.

Kaitlyn was wearing a sparkly dress...She faced the guys with aplomb.
She made homophobic remarks about JJ and Clint...that was a bit below the belt...so to speak.
She called out that guy who accused her of not taking her bachelorette role seriously and then bringing Nick it..and he originally voted for Britt. Good one Kaitlyn.

Next week..who is she going to choose?
I think it might be Nick...and why is she crying so much..
Until next week...I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Nick and Shawn...part trois

Hindsight is 20/20...it should have been clear that it would be between Nick and Shawn.

It's FOD date continuation... and 'hometown' dates in Utah?
I missed it..why did they meet in Utah?
First the FODs..they all went "so well"..according to Kaitlyn...so there must been a lot of..umm..sharing...

Ben's overnight went well...even Kaitlyn said she only had 1/2 hour of sleep. They were in a castle.
Next is Sean...
The golfed.
As per usual...Kaitlyn makes Sean bare all..this time literally..Kaitlyn won at golf and made Sean golf the last hole naked..then she ran off with his clothes..Sean seems comfortable naked...when he runs..everything looks good..even with a black box:)
At "dinner"...food at a table placed in front of them..Kaitlyn brings up the "other guy's name"...I think she wanted to know if the Eskimo event happened if he is a playah. That only inflamed Shawn.
They don't eat dinner (I wonder how they have enough energy on the FOD...they must be dehydrated and carb depleted)...butthere is not romance when Sean reads the date card. He's like "yep..let's do it".
Let's face it..Shawn is not eloquent.
They spend the night...in the morning..there is not longing looks at each other in the morning light...it's just Shawn in his sweats (sans backpack)..he's so rugged he doesn't need toiletries..They just say ..'see yo later"
nick happens to be leaning against a building that Shawn passes by..and they try to conversate. That doesn't go over well..they still hate each other.

Back in USA and in Utah.
Why Utah again? They are at a lovely hotel nestled in the mountains...but it did look kind of lacklustre and cold compared to the backdrop of Ireland...maybe because Ireland was so lush and green and historic...

Pre-family date: Nick tells Kaitlyn he loves her of sho.
Family dates..
The group cry- Nick's family...
Irish wakes are way more lively than the mood in the room while they were waiting for Nick..Nick went through heartbreak...and they were all so sad...and crying..even Nicks' little sister had a cry..while they sat in a big circle.

They all...loved Kaitlyn after..
MOST AWKWARD MOMENT OF THE SHOW: Nick tells his mom how great the make-outs are.
Whah???

Supporitive sisters with bad outfits and Shawns' dad and aunt.
Sorry sistahs...but really..you coulda stepped up the outfits. maybe if Kaitlyn ends up with Shawn she an help..the boot situation with Megan..and the accessory and top situation with Jessie.
I liked how Shawn and his dad wore matching shirts..I'm not sure why Aunt Carolyn was there...and why Shawn's mom couldn't make it...

Verdict..they love Kaitlyn...

Post famlily date: Shawn tells her that he loves her.

then Kaitlyn goes back to her room and cries...looks like tears of ..."yikes..I don't think i like Shawn that much"...

The final decision is in TWO WEEKS!!
next week..is men tell all...

Until next week..I LOVE THIS SHOW!

This may be the most dramatic season ever....

for Nick and Shawn...
I'm not sure if y'all felt it..but there were a few nail biting parts.

Ben...who's Ben...seriously...this guy is a bit like filler...like the breadcrumbs in a meat loaf..actually I've never made a meat loaf...but I hear there is a filler.
The meaty parts of the show are Nick and Shawn. Ok..so Shawn is way more beefy:)

Ben had a date..he shared feelings with Kaitlyn. The only things that were remarkable about that date were that we confirmed that Ben is not a virgin, that he feels unloveable :(, Kaitlyn thinks he's loveable :) and finally..I"m pretty sure Ben colours his hair black.



3 on 1- the chilly group date
Shawn, Nick, Joe. Joe who?  Oh the Joe guy with an accent.  Joe's faux hawk was looking rough..that's not the only thing that was faux...and that was Kaitlyn's feelings for Joe.
Right when Joe tells Kaitlyn he's super serious..she pulls the plug. Joe looks super angry..and on that very cool crisp day..Joe suddenly turns ice cold to Kaitlyn. Must be tough to get rejected after you totally open up to someone.

Kaitlyn feels shaken...she tells Nick that she needs more time with Shawn.

Kaitlyn tells Shawn about the 'gone to far' date. Yeesh..I thought Joe's bad news was tough....but I thought she had to tell Shawn.
What a weird position (not literally) to be in. But Shawn chooses to hang in there...after he goes to collect himself in the Gents room. He actually had great decorum..or maybe I was distracted how good he looked in his shirt. Good job Shawn..I think..I guess.. sorry I got distracted by the abs I could practically see through your shirt. He is staying for Kaitlyn.

Mid-show rose ceremony (ugh..i hate mid-show rose ceremony)

Jared is released. Either Jared is a super grounded guy that has released his ego...or he really wasn't ready for a big R relationship so he's secretly relieved that he gets to go home. Jared..a golf clap for you.you very genteel demeanour when you got the obligatory bench talk enroute to the black car.

Nick's date
Why doesn't Nick enunciate...he mumbles so often..and he often puts his hands in front of his mouth when he talks...do you think this means subconsciously he doesn't really want to say what he is saying or he doesn't mean it.
What I did understand is that Nick said some unflattering things about Shawn. I had to urban dictionary eskimo brother. Hmm..maybe this isn't the best use of my brain cells...when I consult urban dictionary rather than the Oxford dictionary..I think my IQ is declining.
Kaitlyn and Nick check out a cathedral...Nick talks about this boyhood confessions...they go to a pub..talk to more locals who are easier to understand than Nick. Then they go to a jail for dinner..don't eat...then off to the FOD at the Fota hotel....
Later at breakfast...they discussed bacon....and umm..not much else. I'm not sure what Kaitlyn finds interesting about Nick.

More about Shawn and Nick
Shawn tracks Nick down...the hotel is totally ok with not keeping customer information confidential.
Shawn strides over in his well fitting jeans and t-shit to Nick's cabin....Shawn sits down to call him out on how disingenuous Nick is. Nick sure gets Shawn's knickers in a knot:)

Will Kaitlyn let Shawn go....we'll have to wait
Until Next Week....

and I LOVE THIS SHOW:)
