welcome to the first ever mid-week bachelor blog update. i know it is hard to wait until monday nights or whenever you people watch the show, so to help your withdrawal headaches (or contribute to your headaches, depends how much you like the blog) i have this mid-week release. (sidenote: in competitive sailing there are mid-summer regattas and mid-winter regattas. of course they are mid-summer/winter. how is it possible to fall outside of the bounds of winter and not be mid-fall or mid-spring? it is ridiculous. however, mid-week in the context of tv shows makes sense, because the show airs on monday and here it is friday and thus it is the middle of the week.)
our lovely blog commenter named leah, who i have not had the fortune to meet, has added some essential bachelor show information that answers some of the pressing questions i aired last time.
leah says "1. kiss from a rose...they give out roses on the show...it's really subtle" (i see this blogger thing has some quote button where i could set this quote apart and make it look fancy but obviously i will neglect that option for the far easier method that i have herein selected)
i still stand by the fact that the bachelor show producers knew perfectly well that the southern girl loved this kiss from a rose song before they played it. conveniently enough it happens to also have some parallels to the key bachelor plot element which is the rose. i am pleased to see that the bachelor has co-opted the rose as its own signature item. i am not sure if this has affected the floral industry or america's general perception of the rose very much, but i can certainly say that i will never be able to proffer a rose with the same level of seriousness that i once had.
however, i suppose that given the song title "kiss from a rose" one could possibly infer that they chose the song and then found out that the southern girl loved it later on. this might be reasonable if the show didn't totally stink.
also, lovely blog commenter leah who i have not had the fortune to meet had this earth-shattering piece of information to add "when a girl leaves, she just counts as one of the three that was going to leave anyway, so another girl gets to stay instead of her (i know you were DYING to know that part)" (imagine fancy blogger quote box here if you are picky about that sort of thing)
what i infer from this news is that the fang girl's untimely departure saved some other girl's butt (not ally's, she probably thinks hers is too big to be saved by just one such incident) from similar demise. i can see this really making the dude angry. if i were the dude i would be all "yo i was gonna kick off that crazy chick michelle but then the fang chick walked off and now i have to put up with her for another week, nuts." actually i wouldn't be all like that, because that was at least 10 different words and that has to double the dude's vocabulary, which in my brief tenure as a bachelor viewer seems to consist entirely of: "i just want you to be happy" repeated.
and finally, lovely reader kelly who i have indeed had the fortune to meet, has forwarded this:
i thought i was too cynical to be surprised about anything anymore, but imagine my shock when i saw people magazine "vetting" the dude! it is like when a president has to appoint a new supreme court justice and everyone goes about "vetting" them. i hate the word vetting because you never hear it for a year and then suddenly you hear it twice a minute for a week, and then you never hear it again. it is really a testament to the quality of the bachelor that i care more about the word vetting than i do about the dude's previous encounters with alcohol.
also there are a lot of other bachelor blogs out there and they are pretty serious business. this people article has this comment which i think is the most phenomenal situation with regard to the bachelor that i have ever seen: Robin Crawley Kitzman writes "Everyone makes mistakes, if anyone has the audacity to chasitse this man for things he has done over 20 years ago, shame on you. No one is the same person you were 20 years ago. Brad, I fnd you completely amazing and I hope you find love, you deserve it!"
well robin, i am actually going to chasitse you for the fact that you are so excited over the bachelor that you appear to have forgotten that facebook comments on people magazine may not be the best way to get the dude to notice you. don't you know you could have just gone on the bachelor?
