Sorry for the delay.. But you must not give up on the Bachelor or Bachelorette! It's the recycled lines that make it so cheesy and delicious!! And I'm hoping for high waisted pant wearing railing crying Jake to be chosen...although I did hear it might be the breakdancer and his twin brother!? In any event, don't give up on the bad TV!

I got the hint after the first one, I thoroughly enjoyed this recap! What I do know of this show I get in brief recaps on the E! channel's show "The Soup". Thank you for summing this up for me! Lisa,

Reid would be cute, but I am wondering if he would have trouble choosing someone, he seems to juat want what he can't have! Which is probably why I love him so much, ha! Kym,

They'd have to change the name of the show to Sensitive Perfectionist. I hate that my husband thinks farting is funny, but I wouldn't want to marry a guy whose fingernails are cleaner than mine and who checks to make sure I floss daily. I thought Reid would be perfect for the next Bachelor (but those white gym shoes might have swayed me against him), but I wouldn't mind a new hottie - a manly one. Enough with these mansies! I can't wait for Project Runway - hope there's at least one sweet, hilarious gay guy this season. I miss Christian. :) Loved Jillian, loved Ed, hated the mankini (and think that would have been the end of the relationship for me if I was dating him and he walked out in those…), but would not watch if Jake were picked as the next Bachelor.

I just got too disgusted after Jason "I compensate for being dumb as a stump by giving meaningful looks" Mesnick to keep watching. But the mankini? Hilarious. I did see the scene where the hot pilot wept over the hotel railing, and figure it's just bizarre enough that he'll be the next bachelor. But I don't know if I can bear to watch and see all the same recycled lines ... maybe only if you two promise to make fun of it again and make me laugh!!

I know I definitely do. I've obviously had many experiences with the guy who couldn't commit...and I've chased after many of the wrong ones...but through it all, I always remained optimistic--like her. I would be okay with Reid. I have to admit, the poor sap was close to tears on the <em>After The Final Rose</em> special and I did feel bad for him. But at the same time, I thought, well, you should've opened up and told her how you felt you dummy! You don't have the luxury of "holding it in" and waiting for the right time on that kind of show!! ... I LOVE that he went there about the fantasy suite. He was like "WTF" you took a guy with E-D over me? I honestly think he wanted her more b/c she sent him home. He's probably never been rejected before. He'll realize they weren't meant to be... Lastly, white tennis shoes with his PROPOSAL outfit? Really? xoxo Liz,

I know. When I was writing the blog post, I was thinking about Deanna and that snowboarder guy whose name I can't even remember. I hope they make it because I truly am a hopeless romantic...but the odds are very slim. And become more slim with each freakin' mankini the dude adds to his wardrobe. xo Jennifer… I know.
