The Bachelor: Paris So the women are back and they might be the cattiest bunch ever. I do enjoy the women-tell-all reunions. It's so much fun watching the gals try to polish their images after they realize that the cameras really were rolling 24/7. I can't believe they turned on Susan like that. She was one of their own, and they made her cry. So not cool. Was Susan acting? I dunno, but between her waterworks skill and her good looks, I'm sure the soaps or Maxim will come calling soon. Kristin — yeah, it was the teeth. You know, <sarcasm> I'm surprised Ali G. skipped the reunion </sarcasm>, but her presence didn't, and we got to see that very special clip one last time. Thank you, ABC. Totally didn't recognize Yvonne with he

Beauty and the Geek In the past, I guess I always fast-forwarded (thank you, DVR) through the opening credits, but I finally heard the lyrics of the show's theme song (the Pet Shop Boys' "Opportunity"): "I've got the brains; you've got the looks. Let's make lots of money." That Ashton Kutcher is just so creative. Anyway, the beauties finally learned the age-old lesson, "Don't judge a book by its cover." It all kicked off when the girls were extremely nervous about having to ask one of the guys in the house (other than her partner) out on a date. Brittany chose Ankur, although she said she wasn't sure what they would talk about because she "likes Diet Coke and he likes fruity stuff." But to everyone's surprise, including mine, it was smo

The Bachelor: Paris First off, Charlie O'Connell and Nurse Sarah are still together??? Did. Not. Expect. That. Aww, Mary and Byron — so cute. Trista and Ryan are trying for a baby. That's nice. All right, enough with the flashbacks. Tonight was all about the fantasy dates: Moana in Venice, Sarah in Austria and Susan in the French Alps. Let's start with Sarah, who mentioned that she was tired of Travis' little pecks and was ready for a real kiss. Honey, I hate to break it to you, but he's just not that into you. Poor Susan. Travis was attracted to you for sure. I mean you are gorgeous, but the disconnect is too huge. Travis' pet peeve is people telling him what they think he wants to hear. Did you not s

Beauty and the GeekTonight we saw a lot of the geeks — actually, a bit too much for my taste. What trip to Las Vegas would be complete without a game of strip poker? Sarah confessed she wasn't wearing a bra and was worried about having to play. Easy there, fellas, it actually wasn't the beauties who were forced to take it all off. All I have to say is, it was a good thing most of the guys went through that painful chest-waxing in last week's makeover challenge, so watching them get down to their bare essentials wasn't as brutal as it could have been. And, of course, this was Sin City, so everyone got freaky on the dance floor while tossing back a few cocktails. Let's not forget about Wes and Cher, who ended up spending the night together,

The Bachelor: Paris So, it's back to Winnipeg for Sarah. I'm going to miss that guttural thing she does when she speaks. Not! I have two last questions for her: Did she get a boob job between the last group date and her hometown visit? And what happened to her hair after Travis dumped her? One minute she's sleekly coifed, the next she's somewhat bedraggled. Was there an off-camera last-ditch tryst? I live for the drama. My inquiring mind wants to know!
Not that I'm being swayed by the obvious she's-only-doing-this-to-get-to-Hollywood slant the show is giving Susan, but her Duke garden speech to Travis seemed rather rehearsed and poorly written. (SUSAN: I like the way you kiss. [Places hand on his shoulder and bats eyes shyly]) I’m just say
