Luke, Dolly & Awkwardness!

Did everyone have a wonderful Memorial weekend?

We did, FO SHO - but it ended with major wetness.

Re-Cap to be shared later this week - you may or may not see this girl a big tipsy.

Onto my thoughts on last nights

 Bachelorette

PLEASE do not share the spoilers
if you plan on commenting, however
I love your feed back!

Let me start off  by saying...

I have a new top runner.

As much as I like Ryan, the GA boy his this pretty looks -

my attention was stolen last night by someone else. Luke wasn't the only one who melted this ♥

Before I share, I want to start off with my thoughts on Emily ...

I feel Emily nic-piks. I sometimes feel she judges too quick. 

Also, I want Emily to find L.O.V.E for herself.

Sometimes I feel like I am watching this show to choose the right dad for Ricki...

not so much about finding love.

Don't judge that comment, as a daughter of a dad who didn't have to be...

I completely understand the importance of finding someone who can be the perfect step-dad.

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

Totally uncomfortable, yet hysterical.

Dude.. what the {bleep}?

Alessandro explains how he hasn't really had any experience with kids {I didn't think that wasn't so bad - it could happen} but then he repeatedly explains how he feels having Ricki as a step child would be a compromise -

Laughing, I was completely uncomfortable during this conversation.

I was thinking, why is he saying that? And then realized this is really what he believes.

I knew he was a goner. Watch it here.

But the best part was after the cocktail party & rose ceremony, basically the show was over - they shared a small clip of Alessandro with Emily's girlfriends

and what they asked him:

{I'm hysterical as I'm typing this}

Alessandro admitted to the following....

1} He dated his cousin.

2} He's cheated on a girlfriend before

3} He's had a one night stand

Okay, so I believe that you really can't take the past into the present however,

if you are trying to win the friends - number 1, 2, & 3 are NOT something to say out loud.

Whoa. I was dying laughing and I am still laughing.

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

Emily & Chris' date

Wall climbing - cool. Lightening = not cool.

Waiting for the perfect time to kiss her = such a gentleman, I loved that.

Dancing in front of Luke Bryan = totally would've ruined my date... LB melts my ♥

I wouldn't have been able to concentrate.

I thought it went well. I like him.

However, I feel his age put a 'skiiiiiiirrrrrt' on her view on Chris.

perfect example of what I was explaining up there about Emily.

I think being younger than her, really scared her. To me, it's just an age.

If it wasn't effecting her view on him before, it shouldn't matter now that it has been announced - BUT... it will.

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

Group Date

 

Sean really stood out to me on this date.

Yes, he got the rose on this date but it wasn't so much his pretty face or anything he said.

I liked his confidence when talking with the girlfriends.

Not to much. Not to less.

I didn't think Ryan saying what he said about gaining weight was SO bad.

I felt he was slightly being humorous yet truthful.

Then again, I don't really know.

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

Emily & Arie

Just when I thought I moved in on Sean being my favorite...

I saw more of this guy.  Arie... my front runner.
I'm not really sure what sparked me to really like him.
Check his date out here.

 I feel he is real.
Not so sensitively sweet. Not so look at me. Not so I'd be the best dad to Ricki.

I think he is just a regular guy trying to fall in love with Emily.
I loved their date, yes. But the moment that made him top runner for me
was when {clearly} everyone could tell Emily was upset about Alessandro & her conversation...

 Arie was the only one who went to consult her and see if she was okay.
Their kiss... yes, the one in the house...
was awesome.

I definitely see chemistry between the two. I like him.
I like them.



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

Random thoughts:

Did I see a jealous side of Ryan on next weeks preview? Am I going to see a bad side of him? Is he getting cocky? Ohhh please no. I hate cocky.
Biggest turn off EVER!
---------------

Thank goodness the EGG is gone.

----------------
Speaking of gone, Tony is gone. Hallelujah!
Emily did a wonderful thing to remove him -
When the Bachelorette has to start mothering her men choices... it's a sign of goodbye.

He was like forcing his child to miss him and then hurled up in
a corner alley... crying.

--------------
Kalon - Whoa, how about him telling her

"I love it when you talk but I'd wish you'd let me finish."

There conversation was another horrific awkward moment.
Watch it here.
 Why is he still here?
I think the show/producers are keeping him. That would have been it for me.

-------------------
NATE... where the heck are you? You are adorable!
Why don't talk... or even been seen? You better wake up man!

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

Did Emily's blond friend NOT remind you of Chelsea Lately?
She had be cracking UP with some of those questions.

&&& last thought....

Who is ready for some adventurous, beachy, only-on-the-bachelorette
DATES?

Me Me Me Me ME!!!!
