Bachelorette - Istanbull shish

I was certain it was either going to be Roberto or Justin that was the infidelitous (coining that word) one.  I loved the drama, but Justin turned out be such a pussy when he was confronted.  I wish he had stood up, looked her in the eyes and said, “of course I’m here for myself.  This is REALITY TELEVISION, we are literally one step removed from ‘For the Love of Ray J’.  You’re submitting your entire life to intense judgment from millions of scrutinizing viewers – AGAIN!  You can’t tell me this is all about love for you, ever consider speed dating?  What are the chances you’ll actually marry the winner of this contest… 1 in 10?  You’d get better odds ordering your man from Uzbekistan.”  And finish with, “Rated R out.”

The dates:

Ty: I don’t believe Ali has strong romantic feelings for Ty; though he got a really tough draw following the Justin confront.  They were 85% skin in a centuries old steam room that was ornate and romantic -and there really didn’t seem to be much chemistry.  Then he really tripped up when explaining why his marriage didn’t work.  You don’t explain to a girl who recently walked away from ‘The Bachelor’ for a career opportunity; that your ex-wife doomed your marriage by wanting to have a job.  Though his biggest mistake was asking Ali: “What is it about me that you like?”  No, no, no.  Reeks of insecurity.  Ali then answered with this simple phrase that really sums up the whole show, “I’m really just looking for a feeling.”

Frank: They have really good chemistry, but he is annoyingly moody.  I think it’s his to lose.

Craig R: Poor Craig is so clueless.  He’s funny and likeable, but out of touch with his situation.  Getting the one-on-one date was the worst thing that could’ve happened to him.  He had lasted this long because he was the entertainer and he kept things fun and light.  Ali never saw him as a legitimate dating option; which is why he was never selected for a solo date.  By forcing his hand into a one-on-one, he forced her to recognize there was really nothing there.  Funny is good, but sometimes it needs to have a little edge (back and forth), or you get relegated as the entertainer.  He said to the camera, “there is never an awkward moment of silence.” What he left out was, “because I never stopped talking.”  I knew he was going home.

Love Joel McHale (even though he’s a Husky) – wish Ray J would get trapped in a Foreman Grill.

My Power Ratings:

1.  Frank
2. Roberto – she digs her some Roberto
3. Chris – got a quick rose without really being involved this week
4. Kirk – I can’t really get a read on how she feels about him
5. Ty

By the way, I was right last week.
