So I watched the first episode of Ali’s Bachelorette season and now I feel like a human failure, a giant sponge of enormous failosity, because I said I wouldn’t watch and I have made myself a liar. There is something about Ali in general that makes me feel unkind, and it’s not just her inability [...]

The funny thing is that watching other people kissing makes me really uncomfortable. It’s just one of those things that ain’t pretty. It’s AWKWARD. It’s embarrassing. Needless to say, I’ve spent much of this season of The Bachelor contemplating how our fireplace (which is below the TV) really is an eyesore [...]

OK, I know The Bachelorette is long since over and no one should care anymore about these people, and frankly, I don’t much care about them either and you’d think I would, having spent so much time typing about them. But I don’t. And yet, I’m sort of lying. Because whenever I see an article [...]

OK, pretty peeps, here we are at the fork in the road, or actually the end of the road that is the loooooong (somewhat painful) journey of Jillian Harris on her quest for love, during which (according to her), she had to “slay a lot of dragons”. Really? She did? Hey, didn’t she steal that [...]

Because I was camping, (See: Today’s Other Post), I missed this episode of The Bachelorette. I know! Sacre bleu! How can I go on living without witnessing this life-changing event? I don’t know either but as tonight is the gripping finale of what amounts to the Most Appalling Season Ever (See: Wes), you know [...]

Yes, folks, it’s the big episode that we’ve been building to all season, the one with the scene that the producers have been battering us with since Day 1, when we still innocently believed that Jillian Harris was a fun, cute girl and that she might get the happy ending that Jason Mesnick robbed her [...]

It’s hard to know where to begin with this week’s exciting episode of “Why Is Wes Still Here?” But let’s start with… a boring montage about the remaining four men: Kiptyn, Reid, Ed, and the douchebag Wes himself. And Spain. Oh, Spain. I must tell you [...]

Oh, hometown week. What joy you bring to my heart, except for the part where I’m so bored and annoyed with this season that what really brought joy to my heart was the Breyer’s Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream (which I finally found after going to four separate grocery stores) to eat while suffering through the [...]

This week’s gripping look into the lives of eight vapid humans begins with an overly long recap of the departure of the beloved Ed from last week, adding further credence to my theory that he is being primed to be the next Bachelor. We’ll see who is Ms Righty McRight Right in a few short [...]

Is it five episodes? I’ve lost track. It’s exhausting really. This season, there has been so much… crying. For someone who was quoted in my weekend paper as saying “I just don’t want to take it too seriously”, Jillian Harris is sure taking this capital-S seriously. But I’ve jumped ahead. That’s a little trick I’ve [...]
