The Bachelorette: Bizarre Ending With Ali Picking Roberto

After watching the finale of the latest iteration of The Bachelorette I was more appalled than ever that I fast forward through this trite tripe.

The Internet had many a spoiler saying annoying Ali Fedotowsky picked neither Roberto Martinez or Chris Lambton to be her first husband. Or, alternatively, that neither of the boys were willing to take on Alcoholic Ali as their first wife.

Turns out, according to the story spewed on the After The Final Rose show that followed the laborious 2 hour show that ended with Roberto proposing to the seemingly sober Ali, it was love at first sight.

For both of them.

Roberto stepped out of the limo on the first episode and that was it. Ali was in love. As was Roberto. Supposedly.

Which begs the question, if Ali was madly in love with Roberto, then why did she get so upset when Frank decided to leave Tahiti to go back to his girl friend, before Ali could have her way with him in one of those notorious Fantasy Suites?

Had Frank followed through on making Ali's fantasy come true it seems sort of obvious it would have been Chris Lambton who was sent home, rose-less. Instead, Ali strung Chris along, taking him to meet her family.

Even though she already knew, supposedly, that she wanted to become Mrs. Martinez.

I felt bad for the Chris guy. He seemed like an authentically nice guy. Who really needs to stop talking so much about his dead mom. I think he can do much better than marrying a girl with a drinking problem, who likely will be on Celebrity Fat Club (or is it Fit Club? I never remember) in about 10 years.

Ali going on about how handsome Roberto is was not accessible to me. His giant caterpillar eyebrows were distracting. And that huge cleft in his chin, that appears impossible to shave, was very strange to look at, close-up, on HDTV.

I think Roberto and Ali, if they do get married, will likely grow quite swarthy together. And Ali needs to either let her hair go back to its natural color, or get it bleached before the roots grow out so much.

How does that Chris Harrison guy keep a straight face when he "interviews" these people?

The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All Tonight

I believe tonight is the infamous Men Tell All episode of The Bachelorette.

This is when all the rejects, or those who had to leave due to having girl friends, like Canadian Justin, and Frank, show up to discuss the important issues regarding their failed romance with the current Bachelorette, the lush who goes by the name of Ali Fedotowsky.

I am sure the show's producers will make sure cocktails are flowing freely so the boys get into free-spirited feisty mode.

I'm also sure much fun will be made of that goofy weatherman guy out of Houston, who's name I forget, and that pathetic "guard Ali's heart" guy. I think his name was Casey.

I've read that neither Justin or Frank show up to tell all. I've also read that they do show up, due to being contractually obligated to do so. Justin getting grilled would be the amusing one. Frank, not so much.

I'm assuming Ali will get liquored up and make an appearance, slur some words, be obtuse about next week's most dramatic ending in the history of the show. And then be gone.

I'll likely be watching. If I remember, with the DVR giving me a headstart so I can make liberal use of the fast forward button.

The Bachelorette: Frank Neuschaefer's Commenting Facebook Fans

That's is Frank Neuschaefer you are looking at in the picture. I agree with you if you think this does not look like the guy who broke long-suffering Ali Fedotowsky's heart Monday night on The Bachelorette.

This is the face Frank uses as his profile picture on his Facebook Fan Page.

The Bachelorette has millions of viewers. So, I guess it should be no shock that among those millions are a few who get a bit overwrought over that which one would think they would just be amused by.

A lot of viewers went to the bother of commenting on his Facebook page about Frank's behavior. Some pro-Frank, some con-Frank.

More than one verbalized the opinion that it seemed a tad odd for Ali to get all bent out when Frank decided his heart had traveled back to an ex-girlfriend, right after she'd spent the nights before sharing a bed with Roberto and Chris. Not at the same time, of course. That would be another show. First Roberto, who Ali helped undress, then Chris, who we did not see Ali help undress.

Now, I'm a bit of a queasy person. I would not be all that enamored of the idea of being 3rd in line in the stable to provide Fantasy Suite Stud Services for Ali, while she professes her deep feelings, right after professing her deep feelings for 2 other guys.

God forbid that poor ol' Frank might decided he had deep feelings for someone he'd previously had deep feelings for.

Anyway, below are some of the comments I culled from Franks Facebook Page....

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow...Ali was in love with you, she was so heart broken!!!!!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, she was in love with Frank after she spent the previously two days making out with Roberto and Chris, and staying the entire night with Roberto as the scene faded while they began to undress themselves. This is a lame show. She only cried because it was unexpected, and she liked him, but she has spent the last month kisses on a bunch of guys, while also breaking hearts along the way. I have no doubt she felt strongly for Frank, but I'm confused how people see Frank as the one to have cheated? He had no idea if she was going to choose him or not, she still wasn't sure. she was really into Roberto, and didn't back out about the key and one-on one time in the bedroom, so please explain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Girl I am with you. I know it's wrong to judge people and come on she lured two guys to bed and was seriously hoping to sleep with Frank too and the she had the nerve to call Frank names. WHATEVER. FRANK DID AN AWESOME JOB AT LEAVING ALI BEHIND GOOD FOR HIM

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You did the right thing. The Lord truly protected you from making a huge mistake and helped you to follow your Heart. May His light continue to shine upon you. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU GUYS. CONGRATULATIONS AND STAY STRONG.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ya... go back to your horse faced 23 year old GF Mr 31 year old loser. You came into this competition to either win Ali's heart or become famous... Now you are back to nothing. Back to your loser life, no job, and your GF who prolly is on the same track. You have disappointed not only Ali but all of us who watched a do...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You are much better off without Ali. Why get engaged to someone you hardly know only to go through a public breakup in 2 months? If the whole experience made you appreciate what you had with Nicole, then good for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I was so disgusted to learn that Ali spent the night with both guys only to later claim that you were the selfish and coward person. Does anyone see what's wrong with the picture? She made you feel horrible for following your heart. What about her she has the right to follow her sex-drive and then condemn you for do...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

After meeting Frank, it is obvious that he is a genuine guy. Why stay on the show, have to propose (obviously Ali was going to pick him) and then break her heart. he did what he had to do. In the conversation that my husband and I had with Frank, he was very likable and seemed to really just want to leave the show before he was pressured into doing something he wasn't ready for. Whether or not he is still with Nicole, he obviously knew that it wasn't right to be with Ali in the end.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seriously!!! Why is it we hate the guys who bail out too late in the game and hate the guys who do what is right? I believe Frank had a really difficult time coming to terms that he too, had feelings for more than one person. The Bachelors and Bachelorettes do it all the time. Some people are such hypocrites!! Bravo dude, I applaud you for being honest, too many people do not know how to do that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You guys want to blame someone, blame ABC, who for the sake of ratings, made Frank go along to Tahiti to tell Ali how he felt. They went and filmed him with Nicole, but Chris Harrison had no idea...yeah right. Glad you were true to yourself Frank!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you no shame, first Nicole, then my mom, then my sister, now my dog. My poor chihuahua was so in love with you, he will never recover!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You're dumb!!! Ali is amazing & I'm sure your ex Nicole is using you for the fame!!! Too bad for you!!! DUMB DUMB DUMB Frankie!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

She screwed Roberto the night before, so i don't get why frank being honest is a bad thing. if he was really in love with her, he would have been pissed that she spent the previous two days making out with two other guys, and staying the night with Roberto (i left, so not sure if she spent the night with Chris too). a bit sleazy, don't you think? who knows if they had sex, but they pretty much did throughout the day, and started to take each others clothes off at the end of the scene. if so??? it's a ridiculous show. they are all on there for fame/money.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

How entertaining are you people? First off- do you think he's actually reading this and more importantly- does he even care? And second- it is a show, calm down people!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

And to further put the whole show in perspective: Ali is getting paid several hundred thousand dollars for a couple months of traveling and having guys compete for her attention. Can she really be that heartbroken or upset at having all of that? No. She didn't give anything up for this show like she claims. All she stood was to gain a lot of money and media attention and I'm sure she's loving it.

The Bachelorette: Frank goes to Tahiti to Tell Ali He's in Love with Nicole

I'm appalled I keep watching the 2 hour long Monday ABC trainwreck, The Bachelorette. If it were not for the invention of DVRs, I don't think I could do it.

So, last week we saw Ali visit Frank at the Neuschaefer's home in Chicago in what is known in Bachelor/Bachelorette speak as "Hometowns". Meaning, visit the hometown and family of the boys, or girls, you might be taking to a Fantasy Suite in some exotic locale for a test run before choosing one to be your husband or wife.

While in Chicago somehow The Bachelorette cameras knew to follow Frank while he dropped in on his Chicago girlfriend, Nicole, and realized, shocking, that he was still in love with her. Even though he'd been toying with falling in love with Ali. While getting a fun free trip around the world.

This morning I read that before Frank went seeking fresh love on a tv show he'd quit his job and flew to Europe, where he traveled around until he ran out of money. This is why he is living with his mom and dad.

Now, the producers of The Bachelorette knew that Frank had this girl friend. They filmed him professing his love for her. So, why did they fly Frank to Tahiti? How could Frank, with a clear conscience, accept that rose, in the Sacred Rose Ceremony, from Ali on the night she rejected Kirk? I mean, he knew those ABC cameras were with him, recording his conversation with Nicole.

I read this morning that Frank was told, by the show's producers, that he had to go to Tahiti to tell Ali about his girl friend. Because that storyline would be easy to milk for good ratings. Which is what was done, what with all those previews showing Frank breaking some bad news to Ali. In Tahiti.

Now why is it with the Canadian wrestler named Justin, that when the show's producers got evidence of Justin's nefarious double dealing with his back home girlfriend, that Ali was immediately told about this by Chris Harrison, leading to the funny scenes of Ali chasing Justin in Istanbul?

But with the evidence, on tape, of Frank professing his love of another woman, this information was kept from Ali? Until Tahiti?

Anyway, it's all very bogus. Somewhat entertaining. But bogus.

The Bachelorette: Ali Dumps Kirk & Wondering About Frank's Tahiti Breakdown

No, that is not an artist's rendering of what The Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky, will look like in 20 years. You are looking at this week's rejected bachelor, Kirk's, mom.

Of the 4 families that Ali visited during this week's sacred Hometown Visits, or as they are called in Bachelor/Bachelorette speak "Hometowns," Kirk's family had the most, well, unusual family.

I was going to say creepy, rather than unusual, but that seemed mean. Kirk seems like such a normal guy.

I was not quite sure what was going on with Kirk's mom's teeth. Were those braces? Or an awful lot of silver fillings?

As for Kirk's dad. Well. I think Kirk was pretty much rejected when Ali got led by Kirk's dad into the killing zone in his basement. There was just way too much taxidermying going on in that basement.

Another thing about Kirk's dad is he seemed to be real young. It almost looked like Kirk stuck a fake mustache on his little brother and told him to play the dad role.

So, with Kirk rejected, it is off to Tahiti for those fabled Fantasy Suite dates with Roberto, Chris and Frank.

I don't know if the boys are up to the challenge.

It appears, via the previews, that Frank has some sort of major malfunction. A couple weeks ago there was a preview snippet that showed Frank either knocking on the door of a long-haired brunette, or vice versa. Then we cut to Frank telling Ali they needed to talk. Then Ali in tears.

My theory of the Frank Scandal is that the brunette was an ex-girl friend, who was ex-ed prior to Frank seeking love on The Bachelorette, not an ongoing girl friend like that Justin cad had.

So, I'm thinking Frank's ex showed up. Where? I have no clue how that would work. Maybe when Frank was home for the Sacred Hometown Visit. The ex shows up because she has something very important to tell Frank. She's pregnant.

Now, my theory has a couple problems. If Frank was told he was going to be a baby daddy when he was home, even if it was after Ali left to return to Los Angeles, by the time Frank got back to LA he'd had time to realize he had a problem. Why would he wait until he is in Tahiti, after Ali had rejected Kirk, to tell Ali he had a problem.

Did the prospect of a much anticipated romp in one of those notorious Fantasy Suites cloud Frank's judgement, until after the Fantasy Suite romping when his conscience got the better of him?

Who knows? It should make for riveting trainwreck Reality TV viewing.

On a totally different subject. At some point on Monday's show Ali said something about now being at the point where she left Jake, then tried to come back. I forget what Ali said. But I thought to myself that she is saying this way before we all found out what a bullet Ali dodged by getting away from Jake the control freak poster boy for Little Man Syndrome.

The Bachelorette: Ali's Istanbul Belly Dancing & Ominous Previews

On The Bachelorette it seems that Ali Fedotowsky does not go on a date without taking her bikini along. And if any sort of opportunity presents itself to get into her bikini, she does so.

On Monday night's Istanbul episode Ali's final date of the night was with Frank. They went shopping and had dinner in what looked like a catacomb.

During the shopping there was no bikini opportunity, so Ali did the next best thing and put on a Belly Dancer outfit. While Frank wore a Sultan's Turban and acted all impressed with Ali's Belly Dancing.

This morning came news that, pre-The Bachelorette, a former boyfriend of Ali's snapped some pictures of her without her bikini on. This rejected former boyfriend is supposedly trying to find a buyer for the photos.

Apparently several tabloids have shown an interest in Ali's naked pics, but the ex's asking price is too high.

Change of subject.

Monday night's previews. I did not watch them until this morning when I read that they pretty much revealed the rest of the show. We see Roberto, Frank and, I think Ty and another guy get the hometown dates. I have trouble remember these guy's names.

Then we go to Tahiti, where it's obvious Frank is one of the final 3. The other 2 are shown also, but again, I am terrible at remembering these guy's names. I'm fairly certain Ty was there. And that blond guy. Or was it Roberto?

Anyway, we see Frank confess to Ali, it seems, that he's just not all that in to her. Ali is shocked, because she really was in to Frank. We see a lot of crying in the preview, with Ali thinking there's something wrong with her and another of the guys saying he just didn't think he could propose under the circumstances. I assume the circumstances are he also isn't all that in to Ali.

I think maybe the The Bachelorette producers made a boo-boo showing way too much in the previews. Then again, it made me want to watch all of the Ali/Frank meltdown.

The Bachelorette: Ali Talks to Justin's Girlfriend, Chases Justin Out of Istanbul

We got a half hour, or so, of "unscripted" drama at the start of tonight's The Bachelorette, before we got to the dates.

Chris Harrison knocks on Ali's door. She's surprised to see him, apparently not wondering why there was a camera in the room with her prior to the knock.

Chris Harrison tells Ali he has some important info for her. But that a friend of Ali's, Jesse, one of the girls Jake rejected on The Bachelor, would tell Ali what she needed to hear. Jesse is in Toronto. The same town in Canada that Justin the professional wrestler who calls himself "Rated R" is from.

Harrison dials Jesse's number. The phone rings and rings. Finally Jesse answers. And somehow cameras are ready up in Canada to record this event.

Jesse tells Ali that Justin has a girl friend. Ali asks how does she know this? Jesse tells Ali that she knows this because Justin's girl friend, Jessica, is sitting right next to her.

So, Jesse hands the phone to Jessica who proceeds to tell Ali about Justin's plot to get to #3 on the show to advance his career. I'm not quite clear how this would advance a professional wrestling career.

Jessica had quite a lot to tell Ali. That Justin's been calling her. That she found out Justin has yet another girl friend. Near as I could tell, Jessica felt guilty about her part in this nefarious plot.

So, Ali gets off the phone, consults with Chris Harrison, and decides she wants to confront Justin in the boy's room.

And so she does. Ali tells Justin what she's learned. Justin didn't say anything, he just got up, left the room, got his stuff, and left. With Ali harping at him about not manning up.

Ali then ran after Justin, determined was she to hear what he had to say about these serious charges. Down flights of stairs Ali chased Justin. And then somehow was able to get in front of him for a confrontation attempt.

Ali tried to stop Justin, her hand to his chest. Justin then finally spoke, warning Ali not to touch him.

Justin takes off again, running like a trapped rat, struggling to get through some thick brush and then climbing over other stuff that was not meant to be climbed on.

Justin could not seem to find an escape route, couldn't open doors. And then somehow he shows up again and sits down to talk to Ali.

I forgot to mention, while this was going on, the other boys were watching the chase from their hotel room high above the action.

Justin's attempt at spin was pretty weak. And he denied making calls to his girl friend. And that she was his girl friend.

And then when Justin finally walked away, trying to find his way to an airplane back to Canada, voice messages he left on Jessica's phone were played, with Justin professing his love for Jessica, how much he missed her, all sorts of mushy stuff. And one of the calls was from Istanbul.

The rest of the show was sort of anticlimatic. Ali and Ty went to a bathhouse, took off their clothes, had dinner, he got a rose.

Then a group date had the boys wrestling with 4 Turkish olive oil wrestlers. And then with each other. With the winner getting a date with Ali, without the other boys. The lawyer, Craig, beat the other guys. But his date did not go well. Ali felt no love connection.

Then Ali had another alone date with Frank, who she seems to like. I find him odd. She gave him a rose after they spent a lot of time shopping.

In the end Ali was sure of who she wanted to send home, no need for a cocktail party where they could make fresh attempts to win her heart.

So, Ali sent the one with whom she felt no romantic connection, Craig, on his way back to America.

The Bachelor Jake Splits From Vienna, While Ali Discovers the Bachelor Justin the Wrestler has a Girlfriend. Or Two.

This morning I saw "Jake Vienna" on the list of Google trends. I didn't care enough to wonder why.

This afternoon I found out why the pair were being Google trendy.

The bachelor, and his bride to be, are no more. Splitsville. Romance failed. Bye bye Vienna. Pack your stuff and go.

Jake Pavelka confirmed his latest failed romance, but refused to say why the love match with Vienna had gone sour. Pavelka said, "I'm saddened by the whole thing, but sometimes love just isn't enough in a relationship. No matter what happens, Vienna and I will remain friends."

I wonder if Vienna finally had had enough of Jake's cliche spouting.

It would seem, due to the extremely low success rate, that the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise would meet its demise. As in, after awhile, isn't it a bit clear that the concept is flawed. But entertaining to watch.

Currently The Bachelor is 1 for 14, with Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney being the only married couple. The Bachelorette part of the franchise has the marriage of Trista and Ryan, plus a baby or two, as successes among the many failures.

Now on to the current Bachelorette debacle. Apparently it is Canadian professional wrestler, Justin, I think his wrestling name is "Rated R," who creates the drama next week in the most dramatic episode ever, I believe that is what I read Chris Harrison say, when Justin reveals, or is confronted with the fact, that he has a girl friend back home. The rumor is that the girl friend somehow called Ali to let Ali know what a two-timing bastard Justin is. Those Canadians are such bad boys.

I'm sure much amusing drama and brouhahaing shall ensue.

Meanwhile, I wonder if Vienna will go back to working at Hooters. And did she keep the $50K engagement ring?

And will Jake, now a free man, show up at Ali's final sacred ring ceremony to declare he is now a free man? Without a job.

The Bachelorette: Ali Leaves Kasey Stranded on an Iceland Glacier

With nothing else to watch on Monday night, despite me saying never again, I am finding myself fast forwarding through Monday night's 2 hour The Bachelorette.

Last night Ali booted 2 guys. The one who got booted at the sacred Rose Ceremony totally botched being able to speak when he was finally alone with Ali. This was the first I remember him speaking at all. I don't remember his name, that is how memorable he was.

The other bootee was the delusional Kasey, he with an odd stalker-like demeanor that seemed completely disconnected from reality. Kasey showed Ali the tattoo he'd gotten in New York, sure it would show Ali his extreme sincerity. Instead, the tattoo showed Ali Kasey's extreme insanity.

Ali flew the guys from New York City to Iceland. You would think in Iceland there would be limited swimming suit opportunities. That turned out to not be the case when Ali whipped off her clothes and dove into a big hot springs. The boys soon followed.

I think there was a one on one date, details of which I do not remember, except the guy on the date got a rose.

And then there was a group date out on the ice. They had to go into a hole in the ice. I think it was the guy named Ty who rose to the challenge by being helpful and thus got a rose.

The formerly crippled Justin, now out of his cast, and hapless Kasey, went on a double date, or whatever you call it, knowing that one would get a rose and the other would go home.

A helicopter took Ali, Justin and Kasey to a glacier. Some hiking took place with Ali leading the boys to the most ridiculously contrived setting yet. An ice cave, with ice furniture, candles and all sorts of accouterments. Justin behaved well. Kasey was embarrassing.

Then Ali led the boys from the ice cave, hiking across the glacier, when suddenly Ali gave Justin a rose and Kasey the boot. The helicopter was magically there. Justin and Ali flew away, leaving long-suffering Kasey alone on the glacier somewhere in the wilds of Iceland.

We saw no more of Kasey. I assume he made it safely off the glacier.

Previews for next week sort of confirm, to me, that this show is scripted by very unimaginative writers, recycling the same plots. Currently we have Justin being this season's Vienna. And next week we have one of the guys shocking, absolutely shocking, Ali, who discovers, oh the horror, he has a girl friend.

This will be the 3rd time in a row we have seen this plot device. When Jillian was The Bachelorette it was Wes who had a girl friend. Or two. When Jake was The Bachelor it was Rozlyn (or is it Roslyn) who had an affair with one of the show's producers.

And now one of Ali's guys has himself a girl back home.

Now. I may be totally off here, but it seems unrealistic, to me, to think that these guys, ranging from the early 20s to the 30s, would be girl friend free. I mean, they might not be in a committed type relationship, but it would seem to me that most of them must have a friend or two, of the girl gender, who they might call up on a Saturday night to ask if she's busy.

Anyway, I need to hunt harder to find something to watch on Monday night.

The Bachelorette: No Rose for Weatherman Jonathon

I know I said I would not watch The Bachelorette. But, with a DVR you can zip through two hours of train wreck and watch the good parts of the wreck.

Like this lamebrain, embarrassing guy named Kasey.

Ali is taking her boys around the world. So, they left Los Angeles. For New York City. Where Ali took the twit, Kasey, on a helicopter ride around the city, ending at the New York City museum that has dinosaurs. Name escapes me.

Well, Kasey is one very awkward boy. Ali did not like how corny he was and how insincere he sounded. Twice this moron broke into song. And not at all in a good way. In the end Ali did not give him one of those single date special roses. But, she did not send him home. And in the end, in the big rose deal, she did give him a rose.

I forgot to mention, Kasey repeated over and over again something about shielding Ali's heart. After Ali doubted his sincerity, Kasey snuck out of the boy's dorm and got himself a tattoo on his wrist of a heart being shielded. Kasey was convinced this would prove to Ali how sincere he is. Like I said, this boy is a total dope. In the end, he didn't get around to showing Ali the tattoo.

And then there was the Weatherman, Jonathon, from Houston. This boy is so clueless, a little shrimp of a guy, shorter then Ali. He was just so sure he was so connected with this girl. Even though they spent no time together and the few moments they do spend together he is so nervous it's not pretty to watch. And then he, like Kasey, thought he'd seal the deal by strumming a guitar and singing Ali a song that he wrote. This at the cocktail party before she boots some boys home.

I'm not gonna get into the annoyingly long Lion King contrivance that had Roberto naked and flying through the air with Ali. Suffice to say, this show should not be 2 hours long.

Next week they are off to Iceland. Apparently causing a volcano to erupt.

Ali Fedotowsky is a Drunk Kissing Machine on The Bachelorette

That is Ali Fedotowsky sitting on Jake Pavelka's lap on The Bachelor. I don't remember if this lap sitting took place when she left the show the first time to return to work, or when she returned from work, to beg Jake to let her back on the show.

For reasons unfathomable to me the producers of this TV franchise chose the extremely unappealing Ali Fedotowsky to be the current Bachelorette.

After the contrived train wreck of The Bachelor which ended with the dull, unlikable, plastic man, Jake, picking the equally plastic Vienna to be his wife, well, I vowed, no more of this bad TV for me.

And then, this past Monday, I was bored, channel chasing. And I came upon The Bachelorette. I started watching. Ali Fedotowsky is even more unappealing than I remembered. And she seems to have a serious drinking problem.

Near as I could tell she booted a guy simply because he took way too long to open a bottle of champagne, while Ms. Fedotowsky eagerly waited with an empty glass.

I don't remember the champagne guy's name. The only names I remember are the Latino Roberto, the crippled professional wrestler, Justin, who hobbled on crutches to Ali's house. And this really pathetic Weatherman from Texas, Houston to be exact, named Jonathon.

Jonathon turned into a quivering mess during a contrived shoot for a Bare Naked Ladies video. Jonathon's part called for him to kiss Ali. This totally freaked the Weatherman out. It was sort of uncomfortable to watch. I got the inkling that the Weatherman had never actually seen a bare naked lady in real life. Let alone kiss one.

The totally contrived "dates" on these Bachelor/Bachelorette shows are getting ridiculous. Ali took her swarthy Latin Lover, Roberto, on a helicopter ride to the top of a downtown Los Angeles skyscraper. And then the pair had to walk a tight wire, 20 stories up, gave or take a story, across to another skyscraper roof for food and drink.

Midway to the other skysraper Roberto thought it a good time to kiss Ali. And so he did. Ali wobbled a bit on the tight wire. I so wanted her to fall, like racers did on the recently completed Amazing Race in a similar stunt.

Ali seems to be heavy into drinking and indiscriminantly kissing as many of the guys, as often as she can. A pair of the guys seem to monitor Ali's kissing, like some sort of Greek Chorus.

Weatherman for the win. Seems like the best match for me. And ABC really should not repeat the mistake they made at the ending of The Bachelor. The mistake I'm referring to was putting Jake Pavelka on Dancing with the Stars, a place few wanted to see him. Ali Fedotowsky on Dancing with the Stars would likely cause me to curtail my viewing of that show even more than I already do.
