Acting!

acting21306.jpgSo I flipped on the TiVo last night to start this week's recap of The Bachelor and saw it was another two-hour episode. Two friggin hours? Had I known that, I'd have stopped at the liquor store on the way home, as I only have seven beers in the fridge. Fortunately, the first 35 minutes were spent revisiting some of the exotic dates from previous seasons. And since I've never watched the show before this season, I didn’t feel like catching up with stories I don't give a shit about. (I know I ended that sentence with a preposition, but "catching up with stories about which I don't give a shit" just sounds stupid.)

Travis has three exotic dates scheduled this week, and there's nary a rose in sight. That means he can relax and focus on the important things. Like poontang. Actually, he's focused on getting to know the remaining B'ettes better. Anything else that happens on the dates is just gravy. Love-gravy.

He's most confused about Susan. Last week she told him she was looking forward to falling in love with him, while her mom basically told him not to trust her daughter's motives. PlainSaraH is a lot of fun, and seems to share the same values as Travis, but now he needs to see if there's any romantic chemistry there. Personally, I don't think there is, because whenever he talks about her, all he mentions is her "honesty, character and integrity." That sounds like he's describing his sister, not his girlfriend. Although if he were from Kentucky and not Tennessee, she could be the same person. Finally, there's Moanica. With her, Travis feels the boundaries are limitless. Sounds like someone's going to try for a threesome in the Fantasy Suite...

What IS the count thus far on the AMAZING-ometer? Here is Kristen OrangePeel's myspace, as supplementary reading to that of Moronica: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=24566517

I am actually wondering if the removed comment from Moronica's myspace indicates that she GETS the final rose, but then things fall apart.

"Travis says the hardest thing to do in a relationship is to break up with someone. Obviously, Travis has never asked a girl if he can stick in it her pooper. "

LOL! Great recap as uaual copygodd. I need to see a picture of EdHill before I nominate him as the new Bachelor though.

It was kinda funny how Susan talked about staying professional and then went off in a litany of curse words in the limo! I almost felt bad for her, but not really. She'll be fine. Next week's Women Tell All episode should be good though.

is it me - was there ice in their "hot cider wine"???

livemusicjunkie Author Profile Page:

one more thing - I definitely think he should've let her go - then again, I thought that should've happened after the home town visit. I mean, BOTH of her parents were skeptical about HER, not HIM. That just cracked me up. He clearly just wanted to "get some" before he dumped her, IMHO.

I didn't see this episode at all, but please tell me that for ONCE Moronica did not make that same lame joke ("oh, I guess so, tee hee") when she accepted the rose.

Drives me nuts when the b'ettes bitch about motives. For crying out loud, the only half decent reason for going on that sh*tfest is for exposure. I have no doubt that Susan is, at least, a relatively sane person.

Same cannot be said for Moronica, who's just effin' bonkers imho, and if she was any of the things she claimed to be she wouldn't be on that show falling all over Dr. Dork. And certainly has no business always making a point of her rational behaviour compared to the other girls. Dunno about PlainSarah. I'm assuming like a good many of them, she's stuck in some deluded "knight in shining armour" fantasy world.

I don't think he really cares for any of them much at all, or is looking to settle down despite what he says. Completely pointless, and just boring.

P.S. Love the CheeseDick and CheeseTwat line of greeting cards!!!!

Chronic...so weird that you asked about Moronica making the same lame joke because I totally noticed that when she accepted the rose, she dropped the normal routine ("Oh, I guess...tee hee") for a simple "yes." Very simple answer for someone who claims to be sooo "ecclectic" [sic per Moana's myspace page].

As far as Hoana (ooooh, I just made that one up...booyah!) getting the final rose, then being dumped--I've heard 2 seemingly credible stories that point to Sarah getting picked and I feel like the producers are totally setting it up for that. One of the stories I've heard is that Sarah and Cheesedick were spotted together at a YMCA in Nashville. The other was a little more elaborate and involved a guy trying to hit on Sarah at a bar, only to be told by her very drunk friends that she was dating "The Bachelor." I say "seemingly credible" because I'm pretty sure the chosen one is not allowed to share the outcome with ANYONE and because I did read them both on a bachelorette fan site that seems to be frequented by complete psychos who have very little grip (if any) on reality.

OK, I know I'm going to get ripped apart for this, but I think that Travis is one of the best bachelors so far. Although he IS pretty cheesy, he's nothing compared to some of the past bachelors (Alex Michael, come oooon!!) Plus, he's not trying to make out with as many girls as possible and has been pretty honest with the rejected ladies. I was surprised at how blunt he was with Dr. Rotten Eggs on the first episode. Most of the other bachelors would have smiled and told her how "amazing" she was, but Travis was directing that bitch toward the nearest exit. I just think if I HAD to be with any of the bachelors, I would pick Travis. Or Andrew Firestone. ABC can feel free to make me this offer.

Holy crap! Sorry that was so long.

Aren't we supposed to avoid "spoilers" in our comments here? Or did the rules change with the new sign-in procedure? Fortunately I have already read some of what LRo9 posted, but if I hadn't, and I had been one of those psycho fans, I might have had my heart broken! And copygodd, I always get anxious waiting for your posts but you definitely make it worth the wait!

#7, oh dear sweet Jesus those pics are truly horrifying.

LRo9 Author Profile Page:

Sorry, Bauer's Sweetheart, I really didn't mean to post any kind of "spoiler." I actually wondered if it might be considered that, but since my sources were a bunch of people who seem to have nothing better to do than post weird messages on a Bachelor fan site like "Why did my girlfiend break up with me? I don't understand!!!" (that's an honest to God post, I WISH I was kidding), I figured that it may not be too reliable anyway. It really is just my hope that he will pick Sarah...I will definitely be more careful about what I post in the future though.

I don't watch this show, nor am I interested in watching it... but seriously the recaps are so funny that I still read them! EXCELLENT!

Victoria Author Profile Page:

Why are all these bitches on my space? If you go to their friends part it says Moana is all of their friends and the picture of her is a picture of the ocean. Why? Because she's so deep? Plus she says amazing in her comment. I did an amazing count this episode and there were nine, but there was a scary bit of time where amazing and awesome were actually tied with three each-then they got to the end of the show and the video messages and amazing easily pulled ahead.
Loved the pics of Travis-I would so not make out with that guy in a hot tub-yuck!

I have one question-how many cameras are actually taping these people? There is some pretty fancy editing going on with all the cuts and different angles.

TinkerbellAPixie Author Profile Page:

Love the recap copygodd, so glad you caught that photo of Susan peeking at the camera. I really did get the sense that she was not only acting - but you could almost see her thinking of her motivation in each "scene". Like in the limo - she played the scorned bitter gf and shed her fake movie tears.

That being said, Travis, for all his talk of how important integrity is to him....every single reason he gave to Susan for why he was letting her go - was true before he boffed her in that hot tub. If he really was bothered by her - and really had integrity - he wouldn't have taken advantage of that situation.
Creep.

And I am SOO tired of his stupid haircut. Even wet - it doesn't move - it's just weird.

I'm kind of looking forward to the Tell-All next week. Someone puts DrunkenTara on the spot about her drinking. I hope to see some tears or some girls still bitter over this. Hehe... maybe a little bitch fight? Oh, who am I kidding. It will probably be lame but I will still watch it. And read the recap.

tvaholic Author Profile Page:

I usually don't watch this unless I'm flipping thru during commecial breaks, but I love the recaps. I think Travis is a hottie, but not the sharpest bulb-which is GREAT for a doctor! I did catch some of the past "exotic dates" that were on pre-show, nothing like just saying "hey, all of these people bumped uglies during these episodes."

LRo9-I agree, I think Firestone was a good one too, but do you think he's maybe a little Brokeback? (Sorry, that's getting way overused.)

Love Gravy Author Profile Page:

Does anyone else think Susan is just auditioning to be the new Bachelorette a la Tristan & Ryan? She should really keep her day job. Her "acting" leaves much to be desired. It was a little hammy and over the top. I haven't seen that much ham at a delicatessen. CopyGodd, you crack me up something fierce, man.

LRo9 Author Profile Page:

tvaholic, I agree, Firestone probably is a little "Brokeback." That probably explains why he is the most tolerable of all the bachelors so far.

After looking at those pre-bachelor pictures of Travis, I realized who he kind of reminds me of. Byron...the fisherman bachelor that is engaged to old Mary. I'm not sure if that was his name, but it sounds cheesy enough.

Did anyone notice that the 2 bachelorettes from Kansas (Susan and Lisa, who didn't make it past the first show) were the ones wanting to pursue acting/modeling? Here's an idea that they might consider--MOVE!!! AWAY FROM KANSAS!!! I'm from Kansas and I can tell you that this is NOT the place to find stardom.

Sarah-Eh has also joined the club.

muchos grassyass, all.

and bsweetheart (#8), sorry to make you wait, but as they say, you can't rush genius. nor can you rush my crappy recaps. ;-)

actually, just been super busy at work, so everything's a day or two behind right now. i barely have time to update my own site more than a couple times a week these days.

man those pix of prebach travis are bad. but at least they cured my cat's hairball problem.

TWilliams Author Profile Page:

Susan needed to go . . . I couldn't handle her repeating Travis' last word any more.

In the Alps -
Travis: "Nice, a mountain."
Susan: "A Mountain!"

In the suite -
Travis: "Nice, a fireplace."
Susan: "A Fireplace!"

Puh-lease . . . and stop staring at the camera.

And what is with Moana being on everybody's friend list when they all hated her on the show? Can we all say shallow?

mjwilli Author Profile Page:

SUSAN is an actor...
seems that most people were fixated upon learning that the Susan edds character from the bachelor wanted to be an actress. Looks like her film debut is now for sale on eBay. what do you think ?
