The Bachelor week 3

Ok so I’m 2 days late on this. Sorry.

This week’s Bachelor starts with a 1 on 1 date with Vienna

Michelle is emo that its not her yet again. Ali feels that Jake betrayed her after the 1 on 1 she had with him. Katheryn is hoping that Vienna doesn’t come home.

The date starts with Vienna and Jake hanging out at the Bachelor Pad. Then they take a helicopter to a bridge where they do a tandem bungee jump. Jake was impressed with how supportive Vienna was in getting him to jump as he is afraid of heights, as is she.

At dinner and afterward he is impressed with her, and gives her the rose.

Vienna comes home to dish (Kiss & Tell) about her date. Classless.

The group date is Corrie, Elizabeth, Ali, Tenley, Ashleigh, Jessie, Katheryn and Michelle. Michelle feels that she should have gotten a 1 on 1 and is upset that its a group date for her.

The group date is to a comedy club, where the girls are to do a stand up routine for Jake as well as a full house of people.

Ashleigh gets nervous and starts to cry before the comedy skits.

Ali’s jokes were crude & lame. Sorry.. but ‘Why was Tigger digging in the Toilet?’ ‘He was looking for Pooh’ is rather crude.

Tenley puts her legs over her head while laying on the floor. Kinda tackey.

Elizabeth is downright ronchy and they had to bleep out over half her skit.

Kathryn gets Jake to keep coming in until she gets a kiss.

Michelle has 0 class, and her jokes are so off color that she actually gets booed on stage by the audience. She shows just how desperate she really is.

Ashleigh take 1: She is so nervous that she passes.

Corrie does impressions of some of the other girls in the house, but leaves the majority of her skit to impersonating Vienna. It opens Jake’s eyes to the tension between the girls in the house and Vienna.

Ashleigh take 2. Ashleigh tells some pretty good blond jokes and actually told one I haven’t heard before. ‘How do a blond’s brain cells die?’    ‘Alone’.

At the after party, Tenley finally tells Jake about her divorce. She is ashamed of her past (for what reason I don’t know). She was previously married, and waited until her wedding night to have sex with her husband. Quite commendable in my opinion. Her husband left her for another woman. This is nothing for her to be ashamed of. It is an unfortunate choice in a husband, and one she is better off out of. Jake says he has a lot of respect for her after she told him this.

Ashleigh tells Jake that none of the girls like Vienna because she is blunt and a kiss & tell. Jake is upset that she is telling the intimate details of their date around the house, but he wants to give her a chance to defend herself.

Ali is told by Jake he enjoyed their 1 on 1 and she tells him her feelings about Vienna.

Michelle… What can I say that I already haven’t? Shes desperate, unstable, emo, can I list all the things… not without writing a book. A broken record… She keeps saying she came for love and to get married. It’s her turn to give her Mom grand babies… When the other girls on the date confront her about opening up to others she gets defensive and down right rude to the girls, and then says she isn’t mean.

With her 1 on 1 time with Jake she pulls out the tears yet again, and tells Jake she really really wants a husband.

Jake is starting to catch on and tells her he knows she does.

She asks Jake if she can kiss him to see if there is ‘anything there’. She wants an all out porno kiss, and gets upset when its not what she expects. She makes a comment about it, and then threatens to leave yet again, because he isn’t ‘really trying to kiss her passionately’.

Jake finally sees that she is manipulative, and tells her he thinks it would be best if she does leave.

She gets all upset as she leaves, because she expected him to beg her to stay, instead of doing what she is asking by sending her away.

Jake’s comments on this are right on. She wants to be in love, but has no idea on how to get there.

He tells the remaining girls that if it becomes apparent it isn’t working out, that you don’t need a rose ceremony to ask someone to go. This gives the girls some confidence that he really won’t string them on if it doesn’t work.

Because of all the drama at the after party, Jake does not give out the date rose. I think this is a good choice.

In the mean time, the girls at the house that weren’t on the group date, confront Vienna about her attitude. She gets defensive, and I think the next day she tries to apologize to the girls after she ends up sleeping in a room alone because no one wants to be around her. She dances around an actual apology, and the girls don’t buy that she really is sorry, but see that she is sorry she is suffering because of her actions.

The last date of the week is a 1 on 1 with Ella.

He picks her up with a Helicopter and takes her to SeaWorld.

If you remember, the week before we found out that Ella’s birthday was the day before the Rose Ceremony. Jake’s present to her is to bring in her 7 year old son for the day.

Ella is impressed with how Jake interacts with her son, and she makes a comment that not only does she need to show him that she is right for him, but that he has to live up to her standards as well for her to stay.

Ella and Jake talk about if everything worked out how she would feel about being engaged at the end of the show. She tells him that she wants a family, and more children. She says her dream is to be like Trista and Ryan where they fall in love, have a family and its the real deal.

Ella really has it together.  I am impressed with her and she is quickly becoming my favorite.

Not surprising, Ella gets the rose by the end of the date.

The Cocktail party… We see the Vienna / Elizabeth Circus.

Elizabeth… the psycho tease… She asks Jake if he is good at backrubs.
Again Jake is catching on to the mind games with this leach. He tells her that she is confusing and sending mixed signals to him. She doesn’t want him to kiss her, but she throws herself at him, hanging all over him. She bates him to kiss her at every turn.

Jake asks if she really doesn’t want him to kiss her for spiritual reasons (her original reason) or because its personal and she is Jealous. She admits to the later. Jake tells her he feels like it is a carrot she dangles in front of him. She takes this as if I don’t kiss him then I won’t stay. He tells her that this is not the case, but that she needs to stop sending mixed signals.

Vienna pulls Jake aside trying to defend her position especially because she is so unliked in the house.

The Rose Ceremony.

1. Vienna (1 on 1 Date Rose)
2. Ella (1 on 1 Date Rose)
3. Gia
4. Corrie
5. Tenley
6. Ali
7. Jessie
8. Katheryn
9. Ashleigh

After this week I would like to see Ashleigh, Vienna, and Corrie go home.

Ashleigh for the same reasons as last week, Vienna because she is a kiss & tell, and Corrie because even though she was trying to make Jake see there was an issue with Vienna, shouldn’t have done it in such a public way.

Elizabeth goes home. This I think is a good call as she was manipulative and was playing with Jake’s emotions and teasing and baiting him at every turn. Her comments upon leaving were that she really thought that there was something there between her and Jake. I think that if she hadn’t been playing mind games and doing the bait and tease she may have been able to stay.

Valisha also goes home. You don’t see much of her at all in this episode, which makes his decision not surprising. She wishes Jake good luck, and says that she put herself out there, but she is used to things not going her way.

And then there were 9.

The Bachelor

Ok for last night’s Bachelor.

Group Date 1 was a photo shoot by InStyle.

On the date were Gia, Rozlyn, Alisha, Corrie and Christina.

Gia admits to Jake that she wasn’t popular growing up, and was kinda one of the Artsy kids in school.

Rozlyn is a total skank and they have to blur out a part during the photo shoot because she shows her privates. After the photo shoot she shows that she is even more of a skank by starting to chew off Jake’s face. Her comments show she is just in it to win it, and being a sucker, Jake gives her the date rose.

One observation I have this season is that the girls seem to walk around the house dressed only in their Bikinis this season.

The One on One date is with Ali. Jake takes her flying in an attempt to help her conquer her fear of flying. Ali seems to enjoy the date and as they land she says that wasn’t so bad. At  dinner she tells Jake that all her previous relationships were guys whose names started with J.

After dinner Jake has a surprise of a private concert with Chicago for her. (Good band…)

Ali goes home with a rose.

The second group date is a day out at 6 flags with Elizabeth, Jessie, Ashley E, Kathryn and Vienna.

This leaves Michelle, Ella and Tenley with no date.

Michelle is upset that she doesn’t get a date and says it proves to her that Jake doesn’t want to be with her. She walks out of the room pissed off and goes to pack her bags. The other girls at the house talk her out of leaving (major mistake).

Elizabeth seems interested in hanging onto Jake more to feel his muscles than to get to know him. During their 1 on 1 time she tells him she understands that he is kissing other girls, and will probably kiss them all by the time the show is done, but asks that he not kiss her until he is ready to kiss her and no body else. I respect her for this, and Jake says he respects her for it as well. I do not respect that she continues to play hard to get and tries to bate him into kissing her after she gets the date rose.

Vienna tells Jake that she was engaged in high school to her preacher’s son. When she graduated she realized it was too early for her to get married, and called off the engagement. Her ex then got married to another girl less than a month later and they got pregnant right away. She says because she was so hurt by this, that she eloped with someone she didn’t know and broke her father’s heart and ended up divorced 4 months later. She says she was giving Jake the eye to “you can kiss me if you want to” and was upset that he didn’t kiss her but hugged her instead. I think she is a bit trashy.

After Jake gives Elizabeth the rose, the other girls are sent home, and they all talk about how she got the rose because she threw herself at Jake and was kissing him. They see fireworks and are jealous that she is kissing him with fireworks. There is no kissing, although Elizabeth seems determined to bate him into it.

Ella’s birthday is the day before the cocktail party so Jake takes her aside and gives her a cupcake with a candle for her birthday. He also tells her that the plane her son sent and she gave him the first night is on his nightstand.

Tenley wants to tell Jake that she is a divorce, but when he asks about past relationships she dodges the question, then is upset with herself for not telling him.

Michelle tells Jake she packed her bags and was going to leave because she wasn’t invited on a date, and he says he is glad she didn’t leave. They are interrupted and she gets pissy when asked if Jake can be stolen and then says, oh go with her, I’m certain you will give me a rose tonight. Please Jake see through this manipulative unstable act and get rid of her soon.

Chris comes in and asks Rozlyn to come talk to him. When he asks if she knows why he wants to talk she plays dumb. When he confronts her about sleeping with a member of the staff she says that her private life isn’t their business. He says the staff member was let go, and that to be fair to the other girls and Jake they want her to leave. She says that she isn’t the only one who came to the show with a previous relationship, and Chris says that this isn’t something that was there before the show, and wants to stay because she can’t see that she did anything wrong. Chris tells her that they will not allow her to stay and asks her to pack and leave.

He then goes to tell Jake. He says he needs to tell Jake something about Rozlyn, and Jake says please don’t tell me she’s gone. Chis then tells Jake what happened, and Jake is disappointed that he was deceived. He asks if he can get his rose back to give to another girl. He also asks to be present when the girls are told what caused Rozlyn to go home.

Rozlyn is escorted out, and obviously wants to go talk to the girls but is pointed out of the house and not given a chance. Finally 1 of the bad ones gone.

The girls are wanting to know what happened to cause Rozlyn to leave, and there is tension in the room. Chris & Jake enter, and Chris tells the girls what happened.

Jake tells the girls if they are having doubts about this to talk to him, and that if they feel that he isn’t the right person for them, to leave. They don’t need to stay for a rose ceremony if they feel that it isn’t going to work for them.

The girls are relieved that the information came out before the rose ceremony so that someone isn’t denied a chance because of her actions.

The Girls who remain are

Elizabeth (Rose from Group Date #2)
Ali (One on One Date)
Vienna
Gia
Tenley – Seems to have a good head on her shoulders. I like her.
Ella
Alisha
Corey
Jessie
Ashleigh H
Michelle – Bad Choice. Manipulative and Unstable. Jake needs to take Gillian & Ed’s advise and let her go.
Katheryn

This leaves Ashley and Christina without roses. Both of these girls are ones I am happy to see go.

Ashley says she doesn’t know what went wrong, but wishes Jake Good Luck as she leaves, and says she hopes that he finds what he is looking for. Ashley is the one who said that she thinks Jake is her man, but he doesn’t know it yet.

Christina says she is upset because she could see a future for her and Jake, and she came wanting to find love, and that she knows there are girls who got roses who are there for the wrong reasons. She is a total lush when drunk, and Jake seemed turned off on the Group Date because of how she was when drunk.

I would love to see Ashleigh, Michelle, and Elizabeth be sent home soon.

Lord of Chaos ~ Robert Jordan

The Sixth book in the Wheel of Time series starts with Morgaise (Elayne’s Mother) in Amador the capital of the White Cloak armies, and where their fortress is located. She is trying to gain an allegiance in running the forsaken out of Andor, however due to her ability to channel however small, she is essentially kept as a prisoner of the White Cloaks.

Her step son is kept ignorant of her presence, and she is told that when he is available he will be brought to her. Her attempt to escape is thwarted when her rescuers are executed as dark friends. The Sanchean attack the fortress, and she escapes with her lieutenant and maid.

Egwene is named the Amyrlin Seat of the Rebel Aes Sedai, and she sends Elayne and Nynaeve to Ebou Dar to find an item that will release the Dark One’s hold on the weather.

The Dragon Reborn is courted by both sets of Aes Sedai and taken prisoner by Eliada’s group. He is rescued by Mazrim Taim, the Ashaman, a contingent of the Two Rivers folk, Aiel & their wise ones, some of the Rebel Aes Sedai and Wolves.

After the battle the Aes Sedai who were holding him captive are captured and put in the care of the Wise Ones and the Aes Sedai from the Rebel Group end up swearing fealty to The Dragon Reborn.

Overall this is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend the series. I do recommend reading all of the previous books in the series before attempting this book.

Vampire Diaries (Books 1-4) ~ L. J. Smith

After watching the WB30 show Vampire Diaries, I found myself at Barnes & Noble purchasing the Vampire Diaries books that the series was based off of.

I found myself surprisingly liking some of the changes the TV Show had made from the books, while liking other things that the author did quite well in writing the books.

The thing I liked about the TV Show is they made Elana the heroine seem more like someone you wanted to stand up and cheer for, instead of a self imposing bitch who was the queen of the school, always got what she wanted, prom queen, and someone you wanted to almost hate.

The main thing in the books I liked was that instead of being born human at the time of the Civil War, Stephan and Damon were Italian Aristocrats from the 1500s. Bonnie was descended from the ancient Druids of Ireland, and she seemed reluctant to explore the ‘magic’ of her ancestors.

The history of the town was very much what the movie makes of it; however there are some differences in some of the characters that I find wishing the TV series had included. I am interested in seeing where the TV Series goes next season.

Without spoiling plot lines, I found the books to be quite interesting in the progression, and at times disturbing, not because of a bad plot or badly written passages, but because of the imagination of the author in the progression of the lives of the characters. The books were well written, given a bit unusual, but you can see that Stephanie Meyer in writing the Twilight Series had to have read at least a little of Ms. L. J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries.

I would give the first 4 books of the series a collective 4 of 5 stars and would recommend them to a Twilight fan if for nothing else that they were written over 30 years before Twilight, and one of the original “Vegetarian” vampire books, although Ms. Smith does stick to more of the traditional Vampire lore in that sunlight kills her vampires without a talisman against the sun.

Once I finish the 22 books mostly by R. A. Salvatore that I got for Christmas I would like to finish off the Vampire Diaries series. I am currently reading the new Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson book in the Wheel of Time series ‘The Gathering Storm’ which I have long awaited. Look forward to many new book reviews coming.

Interesting concept and 60% successful on wanting a second date.

The Bachelor (Jake the Pilot) On the Wings of Love

Tonight starts the new season of the Bachelor. Jake the Pilot, let go by Gillian last season is our new bachelor.

If we remember back to last season, Jake came back to tell Gillian that the asshat cowboy wanna be singer had a girlfriend. Gillian stupidly kept  him for a few more episodes after the revelation before he slipped up and admitted he did have a girlfriend and was there for his music.

Jake wants a traditional marriage like that of his parents who have been married for 33 years, and still hold hands in the grocery store.

He says that after watching last season, he finds that he is too intense and needs to lighten up when on a first date.

He thinks Jason & Molly and Gillian and Ed will both make it.

Jake has the girls play football with him, and the usual drama ensues with one girl saying that if she doesn’t get the First Impression Rose her life will be over, and girls upset that he is with other girls.

To help Jake make his decision, Gillian and Ed are brought in. They talk to the girls to try to determine which ones are good and which ones aren’t.

Tenley kissed Jake, then tells the girls about it, and is upset that she kissed him, and crying because she only ever kissed her ex.

Ed & Gillian didn’t like Michelle as they think she is overly emotional and has issues because of it, and they liked Sheila, the Pilot, Katheryn, the Stewardess, and 2 other girls.

Tenley got the First Impression Rose. She’s refreshed that kissing him didn’t backfire on her.

The roses go to:

1. Tenley: First Impression Rose
2. Ella
3. Elizabeth from Nebraska
4. Ali
5. Vienna
6. Christina
7. Gia
8. Ashleigh E
9.  Rozlyn
10. Jessie
11. Corrie
12. Alesha
13. Ashley H
14. Katheryn
15. Michelle (Stupid move)

Tiana says she is saying goodbye from the tarmac
Emily says she thought she had a chance but her fairy tale fell apart
Kimberly says she is shocked, but Jake is a good guy and she thought they could go far.

None of the other girls commented.

They preview the upcoming attractions, and one of them is a girl who says she is falling in love with him, and then is having an affair with someone else in the house.

Looks to be a season of Drama, and trash. I am looking forward to it.

So, after a few months of telling my husband that I would be putting curtains up in the office, I finally went out with my mom & sister while he was working on Saturday, got the curtains & hardware and put the curtains up in the office. Nothing outrageous like pink, green or brown, just a sheer white with a little texture in the fabric.

Needless to say, Dill wasn’t thrilled about coming home to the curtains, but its nice to allow light into the room without having everyone who comes up or down the stairs be able to see into the office.
