The Bachelorette - Week 5

Welcome to "The Bentley Show"!

Bentley gets a free trip to China to tell Ashley that he wants their relationship to no longer be a dot dot dot and to end with a period.  Finally Ashley sees that loser we have all been seeing since day one!
Now that he's out - we move on...and we hope Ashley does as well!

Lucas gets the first one on one date.  Lucas calls Ashley "sweetheart" and asks if he can kiss her.  Again, if she doesn't pick him I'm going to Texas to find this gem!

The group date takes the guys to the coast where they have to go recruit teams to dragon boat race.  Nobody speaks English and they resort to charades and sound effects to get people to come help them row their boats.  Constantine and Ben decide that sense they can't recruit, they should at least look cool (like total idiots) when they race and buy silk dragon robes.  These guys may not have won, but they at least kept it fun by singing "row row row your boat" and chanting "Ba Chi"...which they thought meant "eat it" but it really means "idiot".  You said it guys!  Mickey and Ames win the race.  Ames may have proved to be a winner on the water but was a total loser at the 2nd half of the date.  He steals Ashley away to take her to the 46th floor of the building they were in to show her the view.  This was the most awkward 42 floors of elevator travel history.  Ames keeps kissing her and it's beyond gross...he's obviously drunk because no sober man would continue to shove his tongue down a girls throat for 42 floors.  Ryan gets the rose on the group date - everyone hates him even more now.

JP gets the 2nd one on one date and also gets the benefit of being the only guy (so far) that Ashley tells about Bentley's visit.  He takes it well and tells her he's happy she's over him.  By the way, the Bentley count is up to 26 right now.

Cocktail Time!  Ashley tells the rest of the guys about Bentley's visit to Hong Kong and there's mixed emotions from the guys.  Lucas is pissed, but Mickey takes the cake when he tells Ashley to send him home if he's just her "plan b if things didn't work with Bentley."  Toot-a-loo Mickey - time for you to leave...and Ashley isn't even shedding a tear as Mickey decides to leave on his own.  By the way, Mickey looks like Tom Hanks...


33 Bentley name drops later, Ashley sends Blake home.

I hope there's more drama in the near future with this show, cause I'm getting bored.

I really hate...


those stupid family stick figure window decals people put on the back of their minivans.  Nobody cares if you have a cat, dog, bird, 8 kids and your husband likes baseball.  That's just more information for a child predator to have when he follows you home in his van with no windows.

people who line up to get on or off a plane before they call your zone.  People, nobody is going to take your seat.  Also, standing up to deplane before the people in front of you leave is dumb - and you hit (smart) people in the face with your bags.

people who aren't courteous of those who live a floor beneath them and walk around like cavemen.  Seriously, there's no need for that.

when people say they are going to do something and don't.

parents of children who throw temper tantrums in stores and they just let them keep going.  I get the fact that you are able to drown them out by now, but the rest of us are not used to your child kicking and screaming on the floor of Target while you try and find the best Father's Day card.  Maybe the card to the child's father should read: "I would have gotten you a better father's day card, but your brat of a child was pitching a fit in the store over wanting cheese doodles.  Happy Father's Day!".

cashiers who clearly don't care if they smash your food while scanning.  Next time I smash your face.

dealing with the government.  Last week I tried to go get my passport for a vacation that isn't even planned yet.  Regardless, my birth certificate didn't have both parent's names on it, so they wouldn't accept it.  Turns out, the requirement for the "long form birth certificate" just changed a few weeks ago.  I give you my birth certificate, social security card, and drivers license all proving that I am an American citizen - but you won't let me leave the country?  But Jose can climb over a damn fence and start weed eating for a golf course tax free?  J.C. America, I just want to go on vacation! 

stupid people.

cling wrap.  The stuff never does what I want it to and every time I end up just using tin foil because I get so mad at it!  This is the only thing that crap is good for - and yes, I've done this to someone's car before.

lottery ticket purchases at convenient stores.  While it may be convenient for you, it's really not for me - I just want to pay for my Slurpee and get the hell out of there!  Either make separate lines or separate lottery ticket sale locations.

people who go thru the drive thru with a Suburban full of children.  I don't eat fast food, but the very few times I have I always get stuck behind the soccer mom with 19 kids in the back of her car all shouting out "no I want Coke not Sprite!" and "I want the good toy, not the one I got yesterday".  Lady, please escort your team inside.  Only people with 19 kids go inside McDonalds, you'll fit in...everyone else gets to go thru the drive thru for FAST food.


people who get too drunk in public.  I get it, everyone wants to have a good time - but if you're puking at a table in a bar you clearly have passed the "good time" part and escalated into the "novice drinker" part.  I have no sympathy for you, and apparently neither do your friends who walk away from you as if you are a stranger.

bartenders who think you owe them a tip for every beer/drink you purchase.  I'm a good tipper...always 20% - if not more.  One night I waited for a beer for nearly 10 minutes.  Once I finally got my beer the bartender had the nerve to tell me "You know what gets our attention and gets you drinks faster is better tips".  REALLY!?!  Your beers were $2.75...I gave you $5.00 and put $1.25 of my change in your tip jar.  That's a 45% tip!  Needless to say, she got nothing else from me the rest of the night.

line cutters.  Its rude - especially if you're an adult.  If you do this, I will immediately judge you and think that you are A.) a damn yankee or B.) a classless person with no concern for others.  There's no in-between here guys. 

 people who ruin it for everyone else.  Example: because there are stupid people in my apartment complex who get in the pool with their clothes on, they're cracking down on anything and everything that can also change the PH of the water.  This includes having your cold beer next to the edge of the pool.  It's a pool...wear a friggin bathing suit.  If you think you're too fat to wear one, you probably shouldn't be at the pool anyway.  You're ruining it for everyone Fatty Patty.

people who drive around the parking lot of the gym looking for a close space.  REALLY?!?  You're going to work out...a little walk into the gym won't kill you.

vanity plates that only make sense to the driver. Unless it's funny...

not being able to make a left turn in Charlotte.  U turns suck, and most people can't even manage to get their car to turn in a radius less than 3 lanes of traffic.  The city of Nascar and nothing but left turns - but we can't turn left?

commercials - unless it's Super Bowl Sunday.

restaurants that give you one more roll/biscuit/bread than the number in your party.  If you have 2 people, you get 3 rolls.  Are they assuming that one of every two people are fatties and will eat more than the rest? 

This is an on-going list as things continue to get on my nerves...stay tuned.

The Bachelorette - Week 4

Once again, we're off to Chang Mai -  "the perfect place to fall in love"...seriously, you can't say that about EVERY SINGLE place you go dummy!

Ben F., the winemaker from CA, gets the first one on one date.  After starting at each other like they're going to eat each other's face off in front of a sacred temple that forbids kissing they head off to dinner.  Finally they get to kiss - but it's nothing like her kiss with J.P.

Oh the group date...once again Ashley plans a disaster.  This one may top the stupidity of the roast!  The guys train with Thailand's premier kickboxing instructors.  Ames is a giant vagina and is terrified he's going to get a black eye or broken nose.  Then the DB gets stuck with the pink uniform...he says he was being polite and letting others pick before him...I think he wanted to wear pink.  After training the guys get to actually spar with each other in the middle of the city.  Blake, JP, Ryan and Constantine win their matches - proving they are not wussies.  Poor Ames, who was worried about a black eye, gets a mild concussion and becomes total entertainment at the dinner later.  All the guys are beat up - bruises, cuts, scrapes - bad stuff.  And next week on the Bachelorette the guys slather themselves in blood and  go swimming with the sharks to prove their love for Ashley!  Blake gets the rose on the group date, but I would have given it to Lucas.  Come on, he's a cowboy from Texas who works in the oil industry AND plays golf.  If she sends him home, I'm going to find him!


The dreaded two on one date sends Ben C. and William up sh*t creek without a paddle.  No, seriously, they paddle with sticks on a really crappy looking raft in water that looks like poop to their picnic.  William tells Ashley that Ben C. tells the guys that he can't wait to get out of the house and back into the "real world" so he can use his TV appearance to push his way to the top in online dating.  Damn, this guy is desperate, right!?  Ashley tells Ben C. that she has to send him home and he says "ok".  Apparently, it was true.  Later on, William proves to still be a "30 year old boy" and Ashley sends him home as well.  What a heartbreaker, that Ashley!

At the cocktail party, Ashley tells Chris Harrison that she's still stuck on Bentley (by the way the Bentley count is up to 13 at this point).  Chris says he's going to do what he can to help her get closure from Bentley.   Come on Chris!  Just tell her he's a DB and get on with the show!

Either way, Ashley sends Nick home.  Whoop die doo. 
Total Bentley count: 15

Oh, and PS, Thanks ABC for leading us to believe that Bentley was coming back THIS week and not next week.  I was pumped, and then pissed when it was 9:48pm and she was just starting to give out roses. 

Next week they're off to Hong Kong and apparently Bentley is REALLY coming back - and pissing everyone off in doing so!

The Bachelorette - Week 3

Week three of the Bachelorette was not very exciting.  I don't really have much to say about it as I was playing Angry Birds during the entire show.  I did manage to notice some things though:

The show heads to Phuket, Thailand - or as Allen would say "Thighland".
Ashley meets with a "navigator" to plan her dates - really?!?  They don't plan those in advance?

Ashley's first date (and all the other ones) was rained out and she tells Constantine that she "loves plan B on the first date".  LOL.

Constantine definitely shaves his arms AND legs.

If she says Bentley's name one more time I'm going to scream.

Seriously, does it rain in Thailand all the time?  Because my hair and Thailand would not get along.

JP is friggin HOT.

The Walmart commercial with the little girl who uses her dad's cell phone as a flat screen in her Barbie Dream house is cute!

Ryan is a d bag and smiles way too much.

Ben F. and Constantine look alike - it's confusing me.

I love the spider on the cell phone commercial!

Ames runs like a girl.

Ashley tells Ames "you're funny today!"  (read: I thought you were a boring nerd)

I want to see "Horrible Bosses".

Ames is a strange looking dude, and I can't figure it out.  Quasimodo? Bart Simpson? Oompa Loompa?




Ashley wants to add another rose to the ceremony and only send one guy home.  OMG, Chris Harrison what are you going to do!?!?!  Dammit, got to go find another rose!

Ashley sent West home.  Well that was stupid.

Previews for next week show that a "mystery guy" comes back - gee, I wonder who it is.  Next week, I'll count how many times she says "Bentley".
