If She'd Paint Em Mango Mango They'd Be a Ten!

I remember an episode of Oprah a few years back where she talked about Diana Ross appearing on the Tonight Show for the first time.

She went running around the house yelling"Coloured folks on! Coloured folks on!"

Well a similar thing is happening right now in Canada with the latest installment of The Bachelor - or in this case, The Bachelorette, because for the first time ever, a Canadian is being featured on American tv in a reality show who isn't deranged, wearing mucklucks, or living in an igloo.

"Bachelorette's on! Bachelorette's on!"



Let me tell you, tonight's broadcast had Aurora and I burning up the phone lines!

Her earrings were great, the men were hunky, and Jake...

Oh our sweet, sweet Jake!



We talked about him in reverent tones throughout every commercial break marvelling that there are actually men like him in this world...

Gorgeous.

Kind.

Unafraid to show true emotion.

Smart.

Funny.

And with big earning potential.



What?

People, the man is a pilot.

Though I'm certain he would still be attractive as, say, a Walmart cashier...

Pilot people!



I'm just sayin.

So it stands to reason that when it came down to the wire tonight, she didn't pick him.

Why?

Because women are Dumb Ass.

Instead of going for the nice guy, we prefer a challenge.

And challenge in the case of our Canadian bachelorette comes packaged as Wes.



The evil country singer pictured here with another woman.

Good Lord Jilian, what were you thinking?

Come to mama Jake, come to mama.



Although evil Wes has already said "I'm here for the music, not for the girl," Gillian is convinced she and him have something special and that he "isn't capable of lying to her."

How many damn times have I uttered those words?

Which proves that, no matter who you are, getting burned must be a right of passage.

That or finding out your soul mate has the odd hidden, erm, proclivity.

Like Tanner the foot fetish guy (tv just keeps getting better and better!)



Who, believe it or not, I actually liked.

People, any man who can comment on a woman's feet with so much authority, is a little bit all right in my books.

I mean he couldn't keep his hands off. Rubbing her toes all up and down with lotion any chance he got.

I have to wonder what kind of mischief he'd get up to with the mango mango...

Of course he got the axe too.

***

And that's my recap of tonight's installment of The Bachelorette. Proving, yet again, that braincells really do deteriorate with age!

Is anyone else watching?

If so, what did you think about this week's episode?

As always. enquiring minds want to know!

If you're stuck for dinner tonight, pop by The Kitchen Witch for a blog about the making of good old fashioned spaghetti and meatballs!



And then have a Fabulous Day!

Oh Maven! You should have called me at the same time! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jake! I loved him from the first moment I saw him. And I loved Jillian ... up until she tossed poor old Jake! Then, my feelings turn off, and I think 'Okay, so if she's dumb enough to fall for that jerkness Wes, then she is welcome to him. You can just see the headlines in a month and a half ... 'Bachlorette heartbroken over cheating heart Bachlorette Winner Wes' We will all laugh then .. and in the meantime, Jake will be picked to be the next 'Bachelor'!! Wouldn't that be GREAT!?! He's a keeper!! If he is the Bachelor, I'm rooting for my eldest daughter to go on the show ;-)!!

Your spaghetti & meatballs looks amazing! I'm going right over to the Kitchen Witch to have a look at the recipe!

AS A RULE, I DO NOT USUALLY WATCH THOSE KINDS OF SHOWS BECAUSE THEY R SO FAKE AND CHEESY TO ME.

HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID, I DID SEE A FEW EPISODES (TOWARDS THE END OF THE SEASON) OF THE BACHE-
LOR LAST TIME, THO I HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO SIT DOWN, STRAPPED IN TIGHT IN MY RECLINER IN A STR8 JACKET, WITH TOOTHPICKS HOLDING MY EYE LIDS WIDE OPEN!

HAVING ONCE UPON A TIME BEEN A HOPELESS ROMANTIC AND NOW BEING
A MOST CYNICAL OGRE, I JUST FEEL LIKE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO FALL "IN" LOVE WITH SOMEONE IN A 13 EPISODE SHOW.

SOME OF THOSE GALS LAST SEASON WERE ACTING LIKE THEY HAD KNOWN HIM FOREVER, KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AND HAD EVERYTHING THEY'D EVER NEED TO TAKE CARE
OF THEIR MAN AND "LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!"

GIMME A FREAKIN'BREAK!!!

I THOT THE GUY LAST YEAR WAS A HUNK WITH HIS HEAD ON STR8 UNTIL HE BLIND SIDED THE FIRST GURL HE HAD CHOSEN FOR THAT OTHER BIOTCH.

IT WAS SIMPLY WRONG ON SOOOOOOO MANY LEVELS.

ALSO, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, AS ONE WHO, FOR SURVIVAL'S SAKE, HAS BECOME ONE OF "THOSE" KINDS OF PEOPLE WHO R SUSPICIOUS OF ALL THINGS THAT SEEM TOO GOOD TO B TRUE UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE ALMOST ALWAYS R.

IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, IF THEY'LL DO IT ONCE, MUCH LIKE PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ABUSE, THERE'S A MIGHTY STRONG CHANCE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO MISS HIGH AND MIGHTY.

LOVED YER TAKE ON THE WHOLE THING, THO.

U ACTUALLY MADE IT SOUND LIKE
A LOT OF FUN!

OKC IS ALREADY IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS TODAY AND TOMORROW...

SPOT ON, 100* FOR TODAY AND WEDNESDAY.

LORD ONLY KNOWS WHERE THINGS WILL GO FROM THERE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'LL B SPENDING MOST OF MY TIME INDOORS UNTIL THE FALL WHEN IT'S SAFE TO COME OUT OF HIBERNATION.

I MAY B WHITE AND PASTY, BUT BABY, I'LL STILL B COOL!

HAPPY TUESDAY, DOLL.

FIXIN TO COMPARE YER RECIPE FOR S.A.M.B.'S TO MINE.

TOWANDA, BABY!

HUGZ AND A 50 GALLON DRUM OF SPF 250 SUNSCREEN...

YER ZOMBIE-LIKE PAL,

~IDGY~

Kady!!! Great minds think alike! I totally thought "He's GOT to be the next bachelor." OMG!!!! Can you imagine if T actually went on the show? I'd have to make a guest appearance or two as her well meaning chaperone.

Hey there NM :-) Glad to see another Jake lover - how on earth could anyone resit him????

Idgy, you crack me up! Every woman needs a friend like you to remind her "If it's too good to be true, that's cuz it probably is! The Bachelortte is fun, though - way better than The Bachelor.

Have a great day all!

I'm not watching (read: I don't have cable, nor do I like reality shows) but I did want to comment. I've never been the 'bad boy' lover. I'm always into sweet guys. Good guys. Not the obviously daring guys. I'm all about sensitivity and honesty in a dude!

mike said...

Personally, I'm not really much of a fan of those shows...gotta say, though, that I agree with you & Your freind Rob...OH MY WORD. That man Michael is GORGEOUS.....with any luck, he likes short,fat,bald, flamey gay guys...then I might have a chance!!!

Maven said...

I've never been a bad boy lover either Jaime - that 's why I just love this Jake guy, he's soooo SWEET!

Mike, you just made my day with your comment. Anyone not in love with you is totally missing out!

I've never seen this show, but here's something I've heard about relationships - "If there's really one right person for everyone, you're going to meet a lot of the one's who weren't first." It's true. Relationships don't always work, because that person just wasn't right for you. Doesn't mean give up, just accept it and do your best to move on.

Jinx said...

I can't watch those shows...I get too worked up & the rest of the family gets irritated with my running commentary :)

Jake is better off if she's that stupid though...

Pinky said...
