The Bachelor 2011: My Thoughts

Shawntel



What in the world was she thinking???? Why would she put Brad through that? So many people handle death differently. My guess is 90% aren't very great with it. Yes, Shawntel made a lot of since when talking about why she loves her job and that's great. But... Geez, I knew she was going home. He felt so uncomfortable. Who wouldn't?

Her Dad? A little selfish, right? I do understand if their plans were about Shawntel taking over the business, .... Okay, to skip that... That's not what I would want to discuss if he's meeting my parents for the first time. It was so awkward. However, I heard on the radio station this morning, that the producers told Shawntel to take him there and do that stuff. So.. Maybe it was unfair, but still... to put him on the embalming [sp] table?

Yep! She was gone!

Chantel

Alright, I'm so up and down with this Chantel. I like her when it's the two of them, however she's exactly what Brad described her as "An emotional roller coaster ride."

I liked her last night. She seemed fun & happy & carefree. Was her house not adorable for a single girl? - Even better... Her parents home? Who the crap has a statue in their home??? Wow! I think it went well for her last night. I really think Brad liked her family and could see himself with her. Chantel & Emily were the only two ladies he used the term "wife" when talking about them. - I thought Chantel looked horrible at the rose ceremony! Horrible!

Ashley

As I said last week, I like Ashely more and more! Last night, I really liked her! Yes, she was a little hyper. But, she reminded me so much of how my lifestyle is. No, I am not a dentist but I come from a small town [a lot smaller than her hometown] & I'm bouncy like that. However, it's not about that. I could just relate to her. I thought Ashley was adorable. My favorite was when she brought Brad to the restaurant where she first was employed & then ordered.... Fries with Gravy & Cheese. When feeding the fried to him, she stated "And I saw your Crown" - His face was priceless! I dyed laughing. Her family.... Okay they were fun! Very happy people, which is good. But when talking with Daddy, he stated Ashley didn't want children. Skiiiiiiirt! Right there he should know she isn't the one.

[NO pictures on Google WHAT.SO.EVER with their hometown date. Is this a sign?]

Emily & Ricki

Was last night not P.E.R.F.E.C.T for them? Little Ricki was soooo adorable. Her giggle melted my heart.

[Emily looks SOOOOO Happy]

I loved everything about their date and felt it was very realistic. I was confused on why it didn't show any of her other family, but then we discuss that Ricki was the one person that both Brad & Emily needed approval from.

I can't even describe how wonderful, I thought their date was. The ending was a little weird, but I completely respected Brad for not making out with her. It's his first time, however Emily is so right. Ricki will always be up there sleeping, but.... I still agreed with Brad. Was her house not adorable? I want it! [haha] I do believe Emily is really starting to fall in love with Brad. Very happy to see her opening up!

 And... WhoA! She looked A-MAZING at the Rose ceremony! Gosh... she is just beautiful!

Once Again... Ready for next week! South Africa! Beautiful Country!

Judging from the previous, Ashley is next in line to go home...

However, I wasn't sure Ricki would take well to Brad judging from last weeks previous, and she DID! So... We will see!

It's Just another Manic Monday!

The Only GOOD thing about Monday is ...

I'm here another day!

The Bachelor comes on tonight! Hip hip HOORAY!

I  can hardly hold my eye lids open today, I'm struggling and I hate working tired! I rather be sick!

However, my weekend was fantastic! I can't wait to write about all the festivties!

As for now, the only energy I have is to blog hop!

My thoughts on The Bachelor

Since I posted my opinion last week about THE BACHELOR, I've had a lot of feed back and small talk with  many of my lady bloggers! I love it! So i figured I had to write my thoughts & opinons & even HOPES for the past, present, & future shows!

Emily

I'm pretty sure she is everyone's favorite! She's my pick of the litter anyway! She's gorgeous, but it's not about looks! She's sweet, sensitive and I really think she's liking Brad more and more. I can see more of a "wanting Brad" connection with her now more than ever. I used to think she looked scared of him. LOVED how Brad broke the rules. LOVED how he didn't take NO for an answer when they discussed about meeting Ricki! I'm super excited about next Monday. Meeting the family can make it or break it! It's a big step, especially for Emily & Ricki! However, judging from the preview... Ricki scares me! I think she may pull away from him. Hopefully it's just a tease & them making me feel that way. Because, I tell ya... I did NOT see Brad freaking out about the girls reactions after the photo shoot on the Beach in last weeks previous either.. and he did! So I'm hoping it's throwing us for a loop.

However, Can't make my mind up if Emily is right for Brad OR is it that I just really want Emily to find love? I don't know!

Aaron's Thoughts: Really likes Emily. His favorite. He said she thinks too deep & he personally could not deal with that. [What that means, he couldn't explain too well, so I don't know]

Shawntel

I really like her! I feel Shawntel is very outgoing, down to earth, she seems to get a long with everyone in the house, which means she isn't based on D.R.A.M.A [Good Sign] & I think she is naturally beautiful. I wish I had her skin complexion! HA! I really liked her date with Brad this week. I felt it was more of a reality date and she was very comfortable. On a scale from 1-10 on my judgement of Brads taste for her.... 5.

Next weeks show, he goes home to her family... It showed him on a table! FREAK-ish! WTH? However she did say on a previous show that her job was her passion and I think that's good! Buuuuut...I think that may break it for him! He stated he didn't deal with death well, her face dropped!

We will see!

Aaron's Thoughts: It annoyed him that she got so happy over seeing baby goats. He sucked his teeth. I had to explain to him that not everyone lives in a small town where it's known to have goats in your backyard or in your neighbors yard. It's not very normal to some people, to turn a corner and see a baby goat... She lives in California!

Ashley H.

I like her more and more! From the start, she wasn't one of my favorites, however I do like her and I do feel she is really falling for Brad. She has a bubbly personality! I was very please he gave her a rose at the pool; did NOT want either of the others to get one. Next weeks show: I loved how excited she got when she saw her family. I'm such a family girl and her reaction when she walked door reminded me of how I am with my family!

I don't have too much to say about her, but I do like her. I do feel Brad is into Ashley! She may be my second choice for Brad.

Aaron's Thoughts: He doesn't really have any!

Chantel

I don't know what it is about her that. I like her and then I don't. Then I do... Today, I feel I want her to go home next! I didn't like how she posed with out a top. [Ashley H. - Okay so she covered up with shells, not bad] Chantel was begging for attention and I believe that is why she did not get the rose. I DO feel.. as much as I do really like admitting, that Brad does like her... A LOT. More than I would like... But she's seems to drama-fied for me. However, on one-on-one dates I think she is really cool. But that's not how life is. You don't get picked up on a helicopter or get to go to Costa Rica and swim under waterfalls. Nope. That isn't reality. I do feel she is in love with him [which would suck to have to watch him take other people out] and I understand why she freaks out [& crys] about him not picking her over the other girls, but that's the name of the game. She signed up for it. Something about her I just don't care about. I do not want her to win.

Aaron's Thoughts: She was going home on last Mondays show! He also stated her belly was doing weird things. Does she have major swag back?

Britt

Okay, how sweet is Britt! But, you gotta admit... We don't know much about her! Which sucks for her! I feel she didn't really get her chance. Maybe something could've been. Maybe they would have had romance on the romantic island if they would have had time before. Her date matched up to the rest of the ladies dates like 3 shows ago. Of course she isn't gonna just roll around, sexually make out with him... DUH! Because this is her first time with him alone without being pulled away or having somebody stare at you. I did feel bad for Britt, however I do not feel she is effected by it. She did not cry when she talked about Brad. She didn't cry when he looked at her and said, I don't feel it. Which to be honest... that would be brutal to hear. She only cried when telling the other girls and I think that was more over embarrassment because she was waiting for her chance and everyone was confident that he wasn't giving out roses so she was safe!

So, I feel she got out okay but didn't get her chance to shine! I do look up to him for just ending then and there rather than leading her on. However, I don't think she even took a bite of her dinner! Rude!

Aarons thoughts: She should have been gone a long time ago

Thats right... Good Bye Michelle!

Finally!

I had a feeling after Brad's reaction to the beach make out session maybe it was her time. When he said I've made my mind up. I know who I wanna send him. No Cocktail Hour. I did feel it was her. Because it kept showing her most & then Chantel. I was glad to see her go! I DID think she would have more to say than nothing at all.

Aaron's Thoughts: Just the same as everyone elses in America
