Despite the fact that Reality Steve knows all the spoilers before the season's even begun (seriously, read his blog) and the fact that the show is absolutely, totally fake and (if it were real) totally scary in what it says about relationships and dating, I love The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I only wish they didn't whittle down through the people so quickly, because even though I hate most of them, I looooove drinking a beer alone an a weeknight and judging people who are out their living their lives while I wear my pajamas and try to finish the ep before C gets home. :-)
This is the week that I was kind of disappointed that Kasey got sent home, because he seriously has a mental disorder and is one of the scariest people I have seen in a long time. The bachelorette, Ali, told him that most of what he said was cheesy and came off as insincere, and that he just needed to be himself and not be so over the top. Of course he was "devastated" that she would question his "sincerity, [his] emotions, and [his] genuine heart," but he eventually realized that he did need to back off...
So he got a tattoo. On his wrist. Of a shield guarding a heart and a rose (the rose being the longtime symbol of the show). Because, as he's told her 5,000 times at least at this pont, he's there "to guard and protect [her] heart." Gag. I would've told him a long time ago that I can guard and protect my own heart, thank you very much! But Ali stammered something about being glad he was the way he was, while secretly telling the confessional "all he had to to was be normal" and cut him from the competition in the most dramatic way possible - stranding him on a glacier next to an erupting volcano in Iceland. Awesome. I know what the next twist is going to be already (thanks, Reality Steve!) and I can't wait because...duh duh duh...it involves the guy she didn't cut on the two-on-one where Kasey revealed his ink.
Oh, how I wish the show was on every day...I also wish that there was a channel out there that showed the reruns. Come on, We TV, step it up! The ladies are dying for it.
