Here we goooo!  Finally gonna see who wins this thing and then bring them back and see what really went down!

Chris comes in and tells the 4 remaining couples they are going to Vegas for the final challenge.  Love it!  Vegas is exactly where they should take this circus.

They arrive at The MGM and their theatre that is The Cirque Du Solae kua.  AWESOME!  They all look very nervous.  There is a 100ft rotating wall in front of them that they will be suspended to in harnesses and be working on.  I personally think it looks super fun.

They have to do a 60 sec routine with 10 sec in which they do whatever they want to try and stand out.

Graham is afraid of heights and Michelle is getting very sick to her stomach so they are really struggling starting out.

There is a lot of awkward tension between Holly and Mike.

Kirk and Ella are doing ok.

Kasey and Vienna are fighting.

They bring in a panel of Judges.

Trista!  Still looking great! The godfather Jason Mesnick and Ally!  What a panel!

Graham and Michelle are up first and they did ok.  Looked a little slow but not to bad.  Good chemistry.

Kirk and Ella are 2^nd.  Kirk is trying to coach Ella through it but she is really really struggling.  Not great.

Vienna and Kasey go 3^rd.  They actually look super good!!!  Wow  They seriously kicked ass.

Last but not least are Mike and Holly.  Holly and Mike might have done even better believe it or not.  They looked super good as well.

Its up to the Vets on the panel to tally the votes! 

Holly and Mike win!!!!  Well deserved.  But who did the worst because the worst gets sent home…….  Kirk and Ella are out.  L  I feel for them.  Ella is really upset and saying “she let kirk down.”  In a way yes but she did the best she could and that’s all you can ask for.  Kirk was very comforting to her and was a Man Code Man about things for sure.

Now back in the house Holly and Mike have a hard decision because they have to pick the couple that goes to the final with them.

Kasey and Vienna say they deserve to be in the final over Graham and Michelle and in a way they do but also they don’t.  They did fight, claw and scratch their way to get where they are.

The flip side to that is Graham and Michelle have floated under the radar but in a way that is the best strategy to not have to struggle and have a target on your back so that is also really good game play.

Mike and Holly tell Graham and Michelle that they feel if they kept V and K around that in the end they would for sure beat them but if they keep G and M around they would probably lose to them so it’s a hard decision to make.

Graham does not like this one bit and is super pissed at Mike.  He said they are boys and “its not about the money.”  I think Graham is drunk and is throwing a fit.  Michelle is yelling at him and holding him back from going inside and yelling at Mike.  That would have been a terrible decision on Grahams part.

Mike and Holly pick Graham and Michelle.  As hard as it was to do it was the same as Kiptyn and Tenley picking Natalie and I.  We had developed relationships and helped each other more than the others knew about and that paid off because of the Character of them both.

Integrity, Honesty and Accountability. Man Code style gets it done again!

The 2^nd part of this blog is The Finale where everyone comes back to pick the couple that will compete for the $250,000.

Its funny but as they are showing some of the people from the show I forgot they were even on it. Lol

Jackie and Ames are back and sitting beside each other.  Turns out Ames dumped Jackie right after they got home.  Hmmm g, did not see that coming…oh wait.  Yes I did.  Saw that coming from a million miles away.  Failing.

Vienna and Kasey are getting bashed by the whole group.  I do think some of it is warranted but you have to give them credit for playing a pretty good game.

Next Jake is in the hot seat.  This should be splendid.  The thing is some of what Vienna is saying about him is true.  I also feel that V and K were a bit hard on him.  There are two sides to the story.

This should be ABS’s way of portraying their golden boy in a more positive way.  I am on Jakes side now.  I have bashed him enough.  He is a pro and I respect the way he works the show and America to his advantage.  Amazing.  If I hear the word “olive branch” one more time I am gonna jump out the window.

I am over typing and listening about Jake, Vienna and Kasey.  So over it.  Honestly it ruined the show for me.

Kasey did apologize to Jake and it looked sincere and was actually nice.  I am glad to see that.

Next Kasey is on the hot seat.  Watching his montage of the show is awesome!!!  He actually was hilarious looking back and did do what he said and control the show whether people want to believe that or not.

Kasey is getting emotional and breaks into tears.  I feel for Kasey.  I know what he is going through to an extent.   When you get caught up in something and act different than you normally would its hard to watch and you have to own it and change for the better because of it.  I hope that’s what he gets out of this.

Blake now takes the hot seat.  I think Blake said it well that the lines can get very close to partnership and relationship and can come and go easy.  Very true in this game.

Chris asked Blake about him and Holly.  He can’t say enough good things about her and say’s he is in love with her.  They have not gone a day without talking he say’s.  WTF!!!  Holly is moving to S.C to move in with Blake!?  They got engaged!?  WOW!   I wonder if Mike knows about this.  Talk about moving fast.  I am so caught off guard.

Chris brings out the final two couples.  Mike and Holly and Graham and Michelle.

Oh no…OH noooo.  Mike does not know about this?  Not on TV guys.  Come on man.  Why would you let him go through that Holly!?  That’s B.S. and yes I said it.  Piss off Holly.  As a friend of yours I’m here to tell you that is something I would never expect from you.  If you care about someone you would never do that.  Unreal.  I’m glad Mike is such a better person.  He is such a good dude.  I love you buddy.

Nobody had the sack to say anything.  You better believe if I was there I would have let both of them know what I thought about that.

Finally the cast has to vote for the final 2.  MIKE AND HOLLY WIN!!!  Yay!  I love him.  I hope he takes home all the cake now though.

The stipulations are the same with them as it was with Natalie and I.  Keep or Share.  I can tell you that is so nerve racking back in that room.  If I was Mike though I would pick keep.  I would risk it.  All or nothing.

The moment of truth….Holly picks share.  Mike picks………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….share!  I knew he would.  CONGRATS to both of you!

It was a crazy season that’s for sure but I am excited to see Ben as the next Bachelor.  He looks like a good dude and will be fun to watch.

See you soon!

Am I the only one that thought that their DVR stopped working last week and kept rewinding to see what had happened to the show then threw the controller through their TV?  No?  Didn’t think so.  Thanks ABC for what was for sure the worst ending to a show yet.  Now you owe me a new TV and controller.  Not cool.

If you remember they called Kasey’s name at the end of the show and then cut straight to “The Mask” swimming around the pool.  I think they thought it would be cute or funny, but I guess it’s a different sense of humor than I have because I do not think it was.

We start off this week with the ending of the last rose ceremony.  Chris calls Kasey’s name and it looks like Jake is going home.  They pan to Jake and he has that ass- eating grin on his face then steps out to say a few things to the cast.

He say’s “they are sending the wrong guy home” then say’s “amazing meeting you Kasey and Vienna my apologies in my heart your forgiven.”  Kasey and Vienna look super relieved.

Jakes limo ride was nothing short of a soap opera ending.  I thought he did the best he could on the show but I am not gonna miss that shit-eating grin and stupid fake laugh that’s for sure.

I would like to point out how impressed I am with the guy for almost swaying the house though.  Sometimes I think he means well but his delivery is so fake and premeditated, it carries no weight with me and a lot of others – after being around him.  Its like he is always trying to win an Oscar or something, instead of just being a human being.  I have done my share of putting the guy down but at the end of the day I wish him nothing but the best.

Kasey and Vienna I feel now are really going to have a target on their backs.

Chris announces that the next competition is THE KISSING CONTEST!  People are freaking out and no one wants to do it.  Michelle Money actually vows out.

With all the relationships in the house this should be interesting.

Wow!  These guys are being complete sissy’s kissing accept for Blake.  He is going in for the kill with all the girls like a stud.  At least one of these guy’s balls have dropped.

Ella and Erica are straight up trying to suck these guys’ faces off.  The girls all said Kasey had terrible breath!  Fail!!!  Floss my friend.

Holly murders it with Blake right in front of Mike!  Holy shit.  I mean a long long passionate kiss.  I got nervous sweaty hands watching it.  I feel for the Mike having to endure that.

Blake & Ella won the kissing contest.  Hands down, the best competition to win so far.

I gotta say I would have taken it again and remained champ had I been there….

Ella gets her date card and gets to take one guy on the date with her and she chooses Kirk.  They get to take a red Ferrari down the pacific highway!  I made the same drive in a Lambo and I gotta tell you it’s an unbelievable experience.  I hope they enjoy it.

Back in the house Melissa is giving Blake a hell of a time about Blake maybe not taking her on his date tonight and giving her a rose.  If he does not take her I think she might actually cut his sack off while he is sleeping.

On Ella and Kirks date kirk opens up to Ella and they talk about what they would do with the money.  They both are going to save lives and trees and whales and stuff.  Real good stuff.   They seem to be hitting it off and they get a hot air balloon ride together.  They take this chance to make out for a bit.

Do you think if Bentley won he would spend it all on blow and hookers?  Probably. Lol

Blake and Erica are rubbing each other down with oil back in the house and talking some real strategy.  Erica is doing a really good job right now playing this game and using her sexuality to persuade the guys in the house.

Blake’s date card comes and the house is pretty anxiety ridden about who he is going to pick.  WOOOOWWWW and he does not disappoint.  He asked to take Holly!!!  Oh shit.  Look out for World War 3 up in here with Melissa!

Melissa’s response was everything I wanted and thought it would be.  Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahah.  She just said she is in love with Blake.  Is this for real!?  To make things worse it looks like she took two scoops of “Bat shit Crazy” mix with her coffee this morning.   I mean she is throwing a fit.  Slamming doors, running through house, crying here, crying there, and yelling.

She is doing a great job at redeeming herself after the last show she was on right now.  But then again she is 38 so she is young and probably just does not know better.  Kids these days.  LOLOLOL.

Michelle said one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time. “some people wear their emotions on their sleeves, but Melissa wears hers on every article of clothing she is wearing every single day, including her hair tie and her panties.”  Lolol.

I think Blake really made a big mistake here.  Bad game-play on his part. Bad life play on his part….could lose it in his sleep tonight.  In all seriousness though, who the hell would you pick to go on your date with.  Melissa or Holy.  HMMMMM.  That’s a real hard one.  So don’t be too hard on the guy.  It is just a game and he has known them for 2 weeks.

I’m 6’1 215LBS and I think Melissa could kick my ass.  She is attacking Holy now and Holy is like WTF.  Oh no….OH nooo.  She is going after Blake now.  Run Blake run.

Blake and Holy are so glad to get out of the house and are enjoying each other’s company.  They take a limo to an airport and are headed to go skiing!  I think that is an awesome date!  They seem to be hitting it off pretty well as well.

Blake asked Holly what the deal is with Mike.  She say’s “its very hard” and I am sure it is.  It seems that she is over Mike though by her actions.

I do have to admit I feel weird watching Holy with another guy when I know Mike so well and AM THE REASON THEY EVER STARTED SEEING EACH OTHER.  I totally forgot to mention that.  I am the one that told Mike back in the day to go tell her how he feels when she was about to leave an he did and they dated for 2 years and got engaged after that.  I just remembered that!

Mike is not handling this good back in the house at all.  He is really regretting not telling her how he feels before she left on the date.

Blake asked Holly if she wants to go back to the house or stay the night with him and she decides to stay with Blake.  Man that’s got to be a real hard pill for Mike to swallow and he is struggling but the guys are trying to console him.  It’s not working.

Melissa is being a complete idiot as usual and talking to Mike about it and saying Blake “might have got her drunk” and what a charmer Blake is with girls.  So stupid this girl is.  Selfish and Stupid.  Wow.  Ella finally tells her to shut it pretty much.

When Holy gets back Mike confesses his feelings for her.  She tells him after that, that her and Blake kissed and Mike is just beside himself.  I am not so sure there is a right or wrong here.  She is being honest with him at this point and it is a hard spot for her too.  He is the one who broke it off with her and now he wants it back because they are in the same house.  It’s not all her fault.

Rose Ceremony time!  This one should be interesting.  Anyone could go home at this point.

It seems to be between William and Kasey going home and Vienna and Melissa on the girl’s side.  One guy, one girl goes home tonight.

Melissa asked William who he voted for and he said her.  She is losing it again!  Surprise.  She is running around the house like a crazy woman asking everyone who they voted for and crying and yelling.  Everyone is lying to her because they are scared for their lives.

It seems pretty clear that Melissa is going to be going home.  Not sure yet for the guys.

Looks like William and Melissa are going home.  Did not even get to see much of William on this whole show.  This is the most face time he has got to date.  Melissa actually keeps it together and does not cry in the limo.

NOT!  She did not speak because she was crying so hard the whole time.

It’s getting down to crunch time now.  Couples will start having to be split up soon!

See you next week!

Jumping right back into the drama, Melissa is drilling Blake in the kitchen.  He really made a bad mistake by getting involved with her.  I like what Holly said about herself and that “its not like that” with her and Blake.  She likes to flirt and they are just friends.

Blake said Melissa “is a live wire flailing around waiting to zap someone.”  I don’t think I could have said it better myself.  She is getting really upset with him and now getting all the girls to try and have her back.  Not good for my Blake.

Next Chris comes in and announces its time to head outside to see the next competition.  Hmmm.  Wonder what it is gonna be!?

Synchronized Swimming!  This should be good!

The guys will perform together and the ladies will perform together.  One person from each team will be chosen by “guest judges” on their performances and receive roses.

HAHAHAHA… Their outfits are hilarious!  Speedos and flower bikinis.

Next, the judges are announced… which consist of Karen (a professional synchronized swimmer), Natalie and I.

The girls go first.  I have to say…  I thought the girls with some cheerleader background would be good at this.  WRONG.  They looked really, really bad and did not work well as a team.

The guys however, seemed to have worked very well as a team and they were so much better than the girls!  Stags really took control of the situation and led the guys routine.

Mike Stags won for the guys and Michelle Money won for the girls.  They both really deserved it.

The producers would not let Nat and I in on any secrets or let us spend much time with everyone so we did not get a lot of info at that time.  But, it was fun to be back at the house and see everyone.  I wish I were competing again for that $250,000!!!!

Jake and Erica are lying down and talking strategy with each other.  Erica is saying she “wants to take it to the next level” with Jake.  Oh god, please let this happen.  I would love to see those two together.

Kasey starts yelling at Vienna about talking to Jake.  They are having a pretty big argument in front of everyone.  Very awkward and imagine – she is crying again!  How many times a week do girls cry in real life?  I mean seriously.  I said in my last blog that they would implode.  Its starting to happen and people are starting to turn on them because of “them.”

Michelle gets her date card and asked Graham, Kasey, and Blake on her date.  This is great strategy here.  All power players.  Super jealous they are going out with my girlfriend Michelle though.   J

They go on a dinner date up on some hill or orchard or something.  Looked really beautiful and was probably just nice for all of them to get out of the house.

Strategy moment here: (going out of the house sometimes might seem good but it can also give people time back in the house to plot and strategize without you and missing out on some of that can be a bad bad thing)

Mike gets his date card and asked Vienna, Ella and Holly.

Back on the dinner date Graham and Michelle wonder off and she tells him she might have a crush on him.  LOL  awwww.  They are cute together.  “ima kill you Graham”   Graham is my boy!  Stupid awesome guy.  I can see them hitting it off for sure.  She gives Graham the rose.

Its time for Mike’s date.  They are going horseback riding!  That is pretty fun!  Vienna is complaining the whole time and Ella says she is really annoying her.  Ella is such a sweetheart so for her to say that is saying something.

Back in the house, Blake is trying to save his ass by buttering up to Melissa.  He is doing his best to play the game here and I am going to say good game play!  He has no other choice.  She is buying it and they are going to “couple back up.”

On Mike’s date Holly and Mike are talking again about their relationship.   It seems like Mike is getting those feelings back for her but I think Holly has “lost that loving feeling” oh that loving feeling…you’ve lost that looooooving feeling now its gone, gone, gone, woo ahh whooh woo. (you know you had to sing it in your head, insert Tom Cruise here).

Jake is back in the house trying to rally the troops on his side.  All the shit I have talked about Jake, I am starting to really enjoy watching this guy work people.  I have to give him credit.  Even taking it as far as making out with Erica in one of the grossest kissing scenes I have ever had to watch and hear?!  So much lip smacking.   I feel like I am watching ‘Guiding Light’ or something.

Mike gives Holly the rose on his date.  Surprise!  A bus pulls up beside them and Brett Michaels jumps out!  Awesome!  Hahahahah.  This guy is awesome.  He has been there, done that on MANY things and you gotta respect that.  He sings them “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”  One of my favorite hair-band songs of all-time.

Its crazy how fitting that song is for them.  I just want them both to be happy.  They both deserve it.  They are great people.

Kasey pulls Vienna aside in the house and sits her down.  He tells her how much he loves her and confesses his heart to her and starts to reach for something in his pocket and Vienna yells out “I don’t want it to be an engagement ring!”  WTF!  Talk about a mood killer!

He say’s its not and that it’s a promise ring.  Wasn’t that something you did in High School?  I could be wrong.  I just thought it was like wearing your class ring or something.

Oh shit….  He is singing to her now.  It’s not great but I guess it’s the thought that counts.  In one way its so terrible and cheesy, but in another its really cute if you are the girl?  IDK?

Wow!  Erica is literally crawling around on the ground to listen to Melissa.  These two going at it should be gooooooood!

I have heard that Melissa is nice in person but from what I have seen in her two shows she is what I said she was on the Bachelor.  Crazy.  I thought Erica handled it well actually.  She was calm cool and collected the whole time and Melissa as expected went nuts and said, “she might just go home.”

She is crying to Jake, which is really good for him.  He can win another person over here very easy.  He is doing great!!!!  So persuasive.  I love it…as much as I want to hate it.

Rose Ceremony time and this one is going to be nuts!  Chris announces that only one man is going home tonight.  Everyone in the house votes for this one guy!  All the girls are safe.

Erica is really working Melissa here too.  Jake and Erica are showing some great strategy.  It’s mean kind of using her while she is down, buuuuut when isn’t she down.  That’s how life goes sometimes.  The world is not all rainbows and unicorns and some people just can’t handle it.

Kasey seems to think he is fine going into the Rose Ceremony but soon learns that a lot of people are rallying against him tonight and is not happy.

It looks like Kirk is going to be the swing vote between Kasey and Jake.  That’s a tough spot for him to be in if that’s true.

Note:  Is William still on this show???  hahahah

It has come down to Jake and Kasey and everyone really is tense on there.  Kasey gets the rose so Jake is going home.

I have to say that throughout this show I really started to like watching Jake work people.  He played as good of a game as he could.

What the hell????  I wonder what Jake did for them to cut his whole exit out?  The screen just goes blank and then to “The Mask” swimming.  Stupid ending.  Can’t wait to hear about what really happened.

See ya next week!

The next competition is one where they stand in a line and have targets on their backs.   They are asked questions about the group and have to hit the guy/girl they feel best fits the answer to that question.  Guys are up first and then the girls line up.

The girls line up to throw first and are really, really bad throwers for one.  They should have scooted the line up to about 3 feet.  Turns out Jakes opinion of himself was off a bit and the girls are drilling Jake here – as to whom they want to go home.

The guys have a little better aim and are drilling Erica – she’s getting crushed as being the ‘least attractive’.  She is going to be devastated after this, for sure!

Yep!  She is very upset and I feel bad for her.  That is a brutal competition.

I want to say that I feel some of them did not play a very smart game here.   You could have really gotten into someone’s psyche instead of just picking the one who is the least attractive.  Instead, go after the one you want to get into their head.

Mike Stags wins the competition and gets to take 3 girls on a date.  He choses Erica, Michelle Money and Holly.  This is going to be a little weird to see Holly and Mike together for the first time since they split up.

The date is to the Linda Vista hospital.  A haunted hospital, basically.  They all seem actually really scared.  LOL.

I already want to ff through this.  I can’t stand all the girls screaming.  Its giving me a headache.  Talk about a shitty date.  I got to go to Vegas and drive Lamborghinis around and you get to go to a haunted hospital.  FAIL.

Mike gives Holly the rose.  I am friends with both of them and I know how much they did love each other at one point, but have not talked to either of them much since the breakup.  These are real emotions and feelings you are seeing here and its hard for me to watch because Mike is my boy and I know how much he cares.

They are both really good people – I can say that.  Mike tells Holly that he just really wants her to be happy and they are both getting pretty emotional.  Two years and being engaged, then breaking up and now having to talk about this on NATIONAL television has got to be hard.  Damn man.  That’s the most real emotion I have ever seen on any ‘Bachelor’ show.  None of this bullshit – Jake crying by a trash can on cue emotion.    Real emotion!

Melissa won the competition on the girls’ side and gets to take 3 guys on a date.

She picks Kasey, Blake and Kirk.  They take a yacht out on the water for a bit.

All the guys are trying to hit on Melissa and win this rose.  Blake actually goes in for a kiss.  He is really playing the game.  I gotta respect that.  A kiss for a rose.  For sure!  I had to kiss 9 girls to get a rose.  Winning (DUH)

Wow!  That must have been a nice kiss because she just went right against Kasey and what she said to him right before the date!  That was a bad move on her part.  She just spit right in Kasey’s face and she was the one that went to him with the idea to help each other out.

Back in the house, Jake is feeling really left out and Vienna is drilling in all the girls heads what a bad person Jake really is.    As she is doing this Jake asked to talk to her outside.  This should be good!

Jake asks to speak to Vienna outside and she denies him!  Good play on her part.  She knows he is just trying to swing her.  Nice try though on his part as a last ditch effort.

Of course Gia feels bad for him.  LOL.  Here we go.  Being on this show for the second time I feel Gia should be a lot smarter than she is and steer clear of drama.

Gia pulls Graham aside to talk strategy.  Says they have to break up Kasey and Vienna.  This is the last person Graham should be talking strategy with, unfortunately.  Just like on our show, Gia can switch opinions or implode at the drop of a hat.  She plays the game by emotions and not with her brain.   I think Graham sees this and is just playing along.

Melissa walks in on Blake and Holly laying in bed together chatting and looks pretty upset.  Giving Blake devil eyes.  Melissa says she does not want drama while at the same time creating drama…hahahahaahaha.  Melissa you should have given the rose to Kasey like you said you would and two you are not helping your rep from your first show right now.

Jake comes to Kasey and Vienna now and asked to talk to them both.  He asked Kasey and Vienna for help!  OMG.  This guy is unreal!  He said he is going to donate alllll the money to charity.  He is the biggest, cheesiest, liar on this show ever!  That is complete crap.  I am pissed he just said that.  I don’t feel sorry for him, one bit.  You can only play the sympathy card for so long bud.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  ABC  ABC  ABC…..I heard from a lot of the cast that you did everything in your power to keep Jake around as long as possible, but I did not see this Bullshit coming.  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.

Chris just announced that two girls will be going home and no guys this episode!  They knew damn well Jake was going home.  I can’t believe that.

Kasey sits down and tells Gia that Graham told him what she said and Gia explodes!  Gia said she is walking out right now.  Hilarious.  Second chance on the show for $250,000.00 and you blow it again over childish he said she said.  She is doing the same thing.  Backstabbing others and getting upset when she gets caught and blaming others.

Let me tell you something….  It’s a game for $250,000.00 – that’s it.\!  Childish clown shit is what you are witnessing here.  Gia what the f#$k do you really think is going to happen in there.  Embarrassing.  This clearly upsets me and hits home.  Do you not see how YOU scheme and plot and then get upset when others do it.  To make it worse you put others down and act like your some princess.   You did the same thing on our show.   Way to fold under pressure.

Kasey is playing a good game right now but he is really putting himself out there and a target on his back.  He needs to lay low for a bit and not try and be such a power player.  That’s how you become a power player.  Make sense?

As usual at the Rose Ceremony there is so much plotting and scheming, I can’t type it all out.

A standout would be Melissa going off on Blake and telling him he has dug his own grave because he is talking to Holly.  She is an emotional wreck and crying all over the place.

Because Gia pussed out already, only one girl is going home at the Rose Ceremony and that girl is Jackie.

Ames and Jackie seem to have hit it off!  He kisses her goodbye and as she is being driven off he runs after her and leaves with her!  Wow!  This guy is amazing.  He better hope that works out because he just gave up a chance at $250,000.00.  That is the most romantic thing I have ever seen in all my 29 years!  Good for you two!

See ya’ll next week

I’m not going to go over all their bios.  I’ll just share a few things that stand out to me – but you will get to know how I feel about each one of this season’s contestants as we go on.

Right now, I am laughing so hard at the intro and looking back on all these people’s runs on the show.

Holy shit.  Ella’s story is terrifying.  Her step-father shot her mother right in front of her!  So sorry .  Poor girl.

I love Stags.  You being upset about your breakup makes me want to give you a hug.  I miss your smell, I miss being near you and sleeping in a bed next to you along with 15 other dudes.  Wait what???  If you win this we should get an apartment together… wait what???  I meant shoot guns, make leather and drive heavy machinery together, clearly!

Alright bio’s are over and its game time!

Michelle Money is first out and looks super hot!  I have gotten to know her in the past few months and think she is so sweet.  I think you will all get to see a different side of her on this show.

Blake seems like a pretty cool dude.

Holly is next.  I like her dark hair.  You look sexy, babes.  Legs for days and days.

Graham is a cool dude.  Good looking guy and a charmer.

Justin Rated R actually seems like a wrestler now and is acting like one.

The princess.  Hmmmm.  “A little thick” was what blake said.  I’ll let him take the heat for that, but agreed.

Vienna looks good.  She has lost some weight and boobs look great.  She is not even in the house yet and already in tears.  Should explain how this show will be for her.  No need to state the obvious but drama, drama, drama!

Ames walks in and I as usual, I can’t help but smile.  Dude is awesome!

Gia looks great as always.  I wonder if she will “just want everyone to get along” and then tell lies and argue with everyone again.  LOL..  That worked out well for her last time.

Gia and Vienna are already at it and everyone is not even there yet.

Kasey is up next.  He looks good.  Must feel good walking in knowing you already have someone on your side…. However, not sure having Vienna on your side is necessarily a good thing.

Jackie walks in and Michelle has the funniest look on her face.  I don’t know Jackie much but she seems cool from what I have seen.

Ally walks and seems to have a clean slate with everyone.

Melissa won my “bat shit crazy” award on her show and am curious to see if I was off with my judgment on this show.

Michael Stags!!!! My dog!  I love this guy!  So funny!  And, with Holly in the house this should be interesting.

Ella seems to have a pretty clean slate as well.

William from Ashley’s season walks in and I’m already hoping I don’t have to listen to his stupid jokes very much longer.

Fake Jake finally arrives.  If you really cant see through this guy’s BS, you probably voted for Obama.  Now you know why we all call him fake Jake.  Every time he speaks I want to vomit.

When Jake, Vienna and Kasey all met up it was super awkward.  Wow.

Jake pulls Kasey aside and tells him he is happy for them.  This is clearly bullshit and I’m glad Kasey see’s through it.  (I thought Kasey handled it very well.)

Chris finally comes into talk to everyone.  I can’t believe how much has gone down before he even had a chance to talk to everyone!

Kirk really shot himself in the foot by getting drunk and is now partners with Erica..hahahahaha  Fail.

WTF?  Jackie and Ames are making out the second morning????  Wow.  Did not see that coming.

The first competition they have to pair up.  The competition is hanging above a bed holding onto each other and the last to let go, wins.

Gia’s underdog pick does not seem to be working out for her.

Holly and Mike go down next

Graham and Ally down

Blake and Melisa gone

Erica Rose and Dirk next

Michelle and Ames eliminated

Ella and Justin fall

Of course it comes down to Jake & Jackie and Vienna & Kasey.

Jake and Jackie won.  I gotta give it to him.  Job well done sir and great job Jackie.

Vienna is really pissed at Kasey.  I think he did the best he could.  She is acting like a child and should be building him up not putting him down.  This is only the first competition.    This should give you an idea of what kind of person we are talking about here.  Should I really say any more?

I feel bad for Kasey, but at the same time he is the one who has chosen to be with her.  You can tell a lot about a person by whom they choose to be in relationships with.  Fact!

Am I missing something?  When did Jackie and Ames develop such strong feelings?

There is so much strategizing going on right now I can’t type it all out.

Justin seems to be the Gia of this season so far even though Gia is there?? Does that make sense>  He is trying to play both sides and telling lies and hoping everyone will get along.  Guess what.  They did not on my show and they won’t on this one either!  Playing both sides will only work for so long.

Jackie and Jakes date is about as cool as a steamy pile of fresh dog poo.  Jake is doing a number on Jackie.  Hilarious how gullible people are.  Everything he is saying is BS.  Jake does not care about Vienna at all and never has.  All show.

Jackie says maybe they should give the rose to Vienna.  That is probably the dumbest idea I have heard yet but coming from Jake would not surprise me.

Listening to Gia and Jake talk about chess is like listening to 5 year olds talk about their farts.  “you never win without the queen.”  LOL.  Actually you do all the time.

I can’t help but laugh at Gia.  She has been through all this before and still does not get it. Hahaha.  Talking about Jake she say’s “he hurt me, the one person I thought wouldn’t.”  Surprise!

Jake only gave her the rose so he could give that speech on national television.  Its all set up.  He is full of it and everyone there knows it.  Phony.  Vienna is actually right this time.

I hope to god there is no one buying this from him or your about as smart as Gia was for trusting him.  If you are buying it, please get up from reading this and go stick scissors in a light socket.

Alley and Justin might be in trouble here.  They are both trying to be on both sides and I’m telling you that does not work.  How did they not see this on the last show?!?!

Yep!  That’s what they get.  Let this be a lesson.  Being two-faced will get you sent packing.

Justin’s exit was pretty hilarious.  Nobody even watched Alli walk to the car. Lol  Poor girl.  I think she is a nice person caught in a situation she was not sure what to do in.

Can’t wait for next week!!!!  Good show!

P.S.  Does it drive anyone else crazy how Vienna looks up and away whenever she is talking to someone?  What is that?

The family seems to be ok with J.P., but her sister seems a bit put by him.

Ashley’s sister is one tough cookie!  Wow.  I love it.  I see the same thing she does.  She took the words right out of my mouth with what she said about J.P.  I really like the guy and am not knocking HIM as a person, but I just don’t see it and I agree with her 100%.

He really is a little too serious for her.  I have said this in my past blogs already.  He is very controlling and over-protective and not going to be able to handle this relationship.  I’m not sure, but I wonder if J.P. went back to his room and started hitting himself saying “No. No J.P…bad Christy…she wrong ! Ash and I will be together forever and I just know it.  I’ll show her!”  hahaha

Ash and Christy sit down to talk about J.P.  She was a little harsh but I liked it.  You’re talking about your sister getting married.  ‘No need to sugar coat anything’ is right.  Shit is getting real.

I feel for Ash, but her sister is right.  You can call her sister a bitch but she is looking out for Ash and this is a big deal.  I really think Ash only wants her approval and not her opinion.  That is a hard pill to swallow for her, but time is really limited.

It’s Ben’s turn to meet the family.  He always seems so cool and mellow but he is sweating pretty good in front of the family.  LOL.  Expectantly, I would be too.  Ash just seems so much more herself and relaxed with Ben.

Christy’s turn with Ben!!  Hahahaha..  I wish she were on the show the whole time.  She is great. Christy said “she see’s Ashley being herself with Ben” and seems to like him more.  I am so on Christy’s side and it’s refreshing to see someone with common sense that see’s through the bullshit that people seem to not be able to see on this show.  It’s amazing to me, just like the people that want Ryan P. to be the next ‘Bachelor’.  FYI…if you are one of the morons that want Ryan, you are one of the people I am talking about and should pick up one of the books he is reading to “find love” or read his diary.  LOL.

Ben finally told Ash that he loves her!  Whoooohoooo.  But she did not say it back… Hmmmmm.  I’m sure that is hard for her and is because there is still another guy in the picture.

Lets give it up for Ash’s turquoise “push up” bathing suit!  That looks good!

J.P. and Ash sit down and he tells her he loves her.  Nothing back and she kisses him on his cheeks on each side like 3 times?  What?!  That’s the kind of reaction I want when I tell a girl I love her.  Kiss me like I’m your step dad.  Sweet!  He just set sail and is captain of the FAIL boat!  Loss.

I really like the book and pictures J.P. made for her.  That was cute.

Yellow bikini?  Hmmmmmm… Lets get the turquoise back out.

I do have to say that Ben picked the ugliest ring of all of them all, but hey it’s still nice and his style.  J.P. picked the better ring, for sure.

Now its show time!

Ben is first to go… Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… I thought she might have learned something with the whole Bentley thing, but clearly has a lot to learn.  Should have listened to her sister.  Did she even cry in front of him??? WTF.  I’m telling you…

How about the plane flying over while Ben was in the boat going home….ouch.

J.P. is up next.  I guess we all know what is about to happen now.  The rest is romantic but has a bitter taste to it because I just don’t see it.  I said it earlier and I still feel that way.  I don’t think it will work.  That is just my opinion, however, and this is just a TV show and I TRULY wish them the best of luck.  Just because I feel that way does not mean dick.  I would much rather two people be happy and me be wrong, than me be right and them be unhappy.

So, good luck you two.  I’ll see you on TMZ and People in a few months 

….oh and just because they are still together on ‘After the Rose’ means they have made it a few months…

We start off with Ash and Ben, and a run through their little journey through the show.  With his mellow mood and sincerity he has really grown on me.  I like Constantine, but after watching this little bit I actually think I like Ben for Ash.

I really like Constantine and J.P. as individuals.  Both good dudes, but just don’t see them a real good fit for Ash.  This is just my opinion from what I have seen on show, so I always keep an open mind and YOU should too.

Up to this point I don’t think anyone has had a fantasy suite soooooooo, that could really change Ash’s opinion of a guy, if you know what I mean.  If you are kind of slow and don’t…  I’m talking about their sexual chemistry in the bedroom.

HOLY SANTA CLAUSE SHIT!  Jake is back!!!  Oh wait…Its Ryan P!  Hmmmmm.  Did I call this or what!  I swear, if he say’s ‘Jesus sent me back’ I’m going to punch my roommate.  He is sitting right here and has no idea he might just get knocked out of his chair because of some guy on TV.  He will be super pissed.

Ryan P.  The reason “you have got nowhere” in 31 years from what you said… well , I feel its a bit harsh.  You seem like a pretty successful guy.  Just kinda douchy.  But that’s ok. You still had some dignity when you left.  Lets see how this plays out.

It does not look like Ash is having it – at all!

Ben and Ash are the first to go on a date and they get to take out a sweet yacht.  I like how he described their relationship as “effortless.”  I agree.  I hope all the people at home appreciate the fact these two are on a huge yacht snorkeling in Fiji.  I mean ABC is super rad.  This stuff is real.  It’s not all filmed in a studio in L.A.  Crazy cool.

Ben says he is going to say “I love you” to Ashley tonight.  I can understand why this would be hard with 2 other guys there who like girls and Ryan P. in the bushes.  I’m not sure Ash can return it sincerely though, with 2 other guys still there?  Idk.  He is so sincere in what he say’s I believe him.  Ash pulls out the FANTASY SUITE CARD!  Time for some ‘just the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels’ or ‘ouch ouch your on my hair’.  Good luck buddy!

Constantine “The Greek God” is up next.  They start off with a beautiful helicopter ride over the water and beaches…and Ryan P standing in the corals alone.    I wonder if she will go to his room at any point to see if they can rekindle a spark?

Ash and Constantine just aren’t clicking this time around.  Shit is just awkward at dinner.  She asked “is it weird for you and your friend (ben) to be dating the same girl?”  Great question, wrong timing.  They are really making me uncomfortable watching this and I just ate a large pizza hut meat lovers pizza – which is not helping anything.  Shoulda maybe ate ½ …or even ¾.  I’m sweating and now uncomfortable with what I’m watchng.  …OH hell.  Now Obama is going to talk!?  I’m going to throw up.  I’m not even going to start.  Not even goinnnnngggg to start.

Constantine say’s “this is the end of the road for me.”  Good man.  I am glad that is over.  I know a few thousand girls that might want to talk to you my friend.

Ashley does go back to see what’s up with Ryan P.  I can see when she looks at him that she just does not like this guy.  I feel bad for him because he just can’t seem to recognize this look and guys like this make things really awkward for a girl.  Is he going to cry again?  Yep!  Does anyone really buy this?

J.P. is up next.  This could be entertaining.  They take a plane ride over the water.  I’m not seeing that connection anymore from Ash.  He say’s he “is ready for the end” and Ash’s response was “whooo.”  Not a thing you want to hear on the other end.  He really does fall super hard.  He gets a Fantasy Suite Card as well.

The Rose Ceremony is pretty anti-climactic.  She tells the other guys Mr. Constantine has gone home.

Next week we find out the winner!

We have Ben F, Constantine, My boy AMES and J.P. left.

Constantine gets the first hometown so Ash’s first stop is Atlanta, GA.

Giorgios’s is his Italian restaurant and he takes Ash there to cook a meal and spend time together.  I like his passion for what he does – its really awesome when someone truly loves what they do.  I know it’s a turn on for me when a woman has that same kind of passion.

I like what his dad said….”I can tell when I see his face.”  Dad’s do seem to have this ability.  His family seemed really cool and close, which is great.  Very open, very loving and looked like an easy family to get to know and fit in easy with.

The surprise party was so awesome!!!!  Made me miss my family a lot.  L

I have to say his family was what I expected they would be – judging by what I’ve seen of Constantine.  A+

My dog Ames is next!  Off to New York Ash goes…. I’m thinking a very college professor type home.  Brown jackets with the light brown elbow pads and bow tie with a few Atlases in the house with little marks for the places they have visited.

I don’t normally notice dudes clothes but Ames has some good taste.  His family seems really nice.  House is sick!  Not quite as Oxford as I thought though.  Very well rounded individuals.  Poor Ames has had two fathers that passed away.  I can’t imagine how that changes a person. 

Ames sister really drilled Ash though – but she handled it really well.  It’s hard to talk to these family’s, I’m sure.  But I think she did a really great job!

I feel like Ames really really likes Ash, but he keeps a lot in and moves slow in letting someone get to know him.  I really like this guy.  He takes her to his favorite tree and really starts to open up.  Say’s he was a nerd growing up.  He would probably like the Harry Potter movie I saw last night then.  DON’T go see it.  Sucked!  Holy shit I can’t believe so many people watch those things.

I think Ash is intrigued by Ames, but I really don’t see the spark in her eye when she is with him.

Next she travels across the country to Sonoma, CA to see Ben F. – the winemaker.  One of my best friend’s is a winemaker…some of you might know him…..  JESSE ANDRAS KOVACS!! <3  Kovacs wine is the best wine on the planet earth.  Check it out: www.kovacsbrothers.com Sorry Ben F.

Ben shows her around and they drink some of his wine, then sit down and he tells her about his father who passed.   He is really nervous about bringing her to see his family.  Said he has only brought one girl home – ever!

He really wants Ash to get along with his mother and sister.  It seems like he is building it up a little much and making her feel nervous.

His mom and sister seemed really nice.  They are very protective over him.  I like his outlook with Ash and how he is not forcing anything.  His parents’ marriage was a big influence and I wish all kids could have a marriage like that to look up to.

With my father fighting cancer right now, I am actually getting choked up watching this.  I don’t know how I would handle losing him and to think about it or see someone else who lost their father is upsetting… and I feel for him.

Shit, I hope my roommate does not walk in right now.  I’m not sure I could explain me watching the Bachelorette by myself with a tear in my eye.  I gotta get my shit together.   This would be the second time he walked in on my crying to a TV show.  I lost it on the Dale Earnhardt ESPN special and he walked in to me curled up in a blanket sniffling. Lol

Time out while I go smell some leather, build something with my hands, workout and watch a video with heavy machinery in it……….  OK.  Back to normal.

J.P is next…missed his hometown and the thing won’t rewind??  Anyway they are going to go roller-skating.  LOL.  Kind of cute.  Ash looks sexy in those jeans.  For some reason they just seem natural together.

He really seems to have been hurt from a girl in his past and like the kind of guy who falls real hard.  Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes when you fall real hard you get hurt real bad.

All of these families have been amazing and his is no different.  His mother is cute.  Not going to lie, I’m tired of hearing about this other girl that broke his heart.  They need to stop focusing on her and on J.P. and Ash instead!  Look! People get dumped and it sucks.  Stop bringing it up to poor Ash though.

I’m going to say that Constantine’s family was my fav.  They were all great but his was so awesome!

So… finally back to L.A. and the mansion.  Ash sits down with Chris to go over the dates.  (Chris’s hair looks great.)  She felt the same and said that Constantine’s family was the best.

Rose Ceremony time!  Ben gets the first rose.  These are very intense.

J.P. looks like he could murder someone.  But he gets the next rose and smiles from ear to ear.  Pick Ames, Pick Ames, Pick Ames Pick Ames. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  Oh damnit.  Oh shit!  He is such a good person.

If anyone else ever dumps Ames I’m going to find them!  Never stopped smiling until the limo.  He is so smart and so well spoken.  Buddy you will find love trust me.  I think you’re awesome after that – let alone every girl in America crying right now.

The final 3 are left!  See you next week!

Constantine gets the first date with Ash.  They take a scenic train ride over to Ping-Shi (LOL).  I like saying Ping-shi.  They paint a “love wish” on a balloon to let off later that night.  They then sit down for a nice serious dinner where they talk about the hometown date and then let off their balloon – which was actually really cool… and I’m pretty sure the cause of the California wild fires.

Ben comes out and for a second I thought it was Constantine again.  I think Ben pulls the hair off better.  Wow…the “hell of a second date kiddo” remark he made was so stupid.  I thought I liked him more than Constantine, but now I don’t know.  The battle of the hair begins.  Ryan P. is just a douche… I’m gonna throw this in here now.  He reminds me of Jake so much.  He is, for sure, flying upside down.

Who do you like better for Ash?  Ben or Constantine?  I like Ben,  just a slight bit more.  Seems just a little more genuine.  He confesses a lot of his feelings and is rewarded with a nice kiss and the music sets in so nicely. She says he is like her boyfriend….lol  just like that, only with 5 other boyfriends.

Uh OHHHH.  Ben is not in his bed!!!  Ashley was a naughty little girl.  J.P. is not dealing with this well and says he is going to kill everyone in the house.   Just kidding.  He did not say that, but clearly was thinking it.

You can tell it is bothering all the guys.  This is where the show really puts people in weird spots that you just can’t train for or know how you will feel.  Basically accepting another dude having sex with your chick is not easy.

On the group date they are taking WEDDING PICTURES.  All the guys get funny outfits but J.P. and it seems to cheer him up a bit.

Ames. Lol, damnit man.  I kind of want to hang out with this guy to see what he is really like.

You can tell the guys did not really like this date and you can see the pressure they are feeling in their faces.  Lucas explains to Ash that he felt uneasy for the day.  They really don’t seem to click to me when they have one on one time.

Again.  Ryan speaks and annoys me.

Ames speaks and I can’t help but smile or laugh.  I don’t know if it’s with him or at him.  The red pants are awesome too.  He seems like the nicest guy I have ever met over TV and I feel bad for making fun of him.

J.P. is super intense and lets Ash know how seeing her with others is really bothering him.  I think it is understandable.  He just has to understand she has to do these things.  That’s why they are there.  But I still feel for him if he really likes the girl.

Ryan P. gets his date finally.  (Timeout while I go get a knife to jab into my side every time he talks so I feel better).   I hope Ash can see through this.  If she keeps him around another day she is cheating some guy out of another day with him back home.   Lets talk about water heaters! Zippity do da!  Fail!

Wow.  Ash does send him home and right now, I feel bad for him……  Ok I’m over it.  And, I would expect nothing less of an exit than what Ryan gave me. “I wa wa wa want la ala love and mom and great daddy and everyone to have solar energy waters heaters everywhere and rainbows with unicorns on them.  I want this for me and her.”

Ashley sits down with Chris and talks about how serious things are getting with the hometown dates on the line.   Ashley decides not to have the cocktail party.  She knows what she wants and does not need it.  The guys seem to be ok with this and I think just want to get it over with.

Rose Ceremony time!!!  Ashley walking in the background was kind of creepy.  She finally makes her way to them and explains the way she is feeling.  Ames always looks so happy.  Hands straight down to his side just hanging awkwardly.  This guy is awesome!  Every time I see him I smile. Please pick Ames, please pick Ames, please pick Ames….. AMES!!!!  Yes!  Good choice.  He is my new favorite.  Total 180 with this guy!

Lucas gives her a hug and takes it like a man.  That’s how you handle it with class.  Good luck Lucas.

Till next week!
