November 20, 2006: The Women Tell All
A note to
The Bachelor producers: This show could be so much better if we saw more of the "real" footage we're supposed to be seeing on a reality show.
It was so much more entertaining watching Lorenzo make up words and swat wasps and say "I think it's a cow penis" than seeing him whip out one sappy line after the next. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe people can genuinely fall in love on this show because they're manipulated by all the romantic surroundings (Rome, a castle, fireworks, hot tubs, a private opera, diamond earrings, and beds covered in rose petals just to name a few). But then we see the raw footage of them being goofy and romantic without the forced cheesiness, and it explains how it actually is possible. So please, if you want better ratings and a more satisfied audience, show us more of the good stuff and less of the stuff that makes me roll my eyes.
Oh, and one more thing - please pay for Agnese to take a few English classes and then make her the next Bachelorette. I think she's one of the best girls ever to have been on this show and you can't let her beauty and charm and brutal honesty go to waste.
Tonight's "Women Tell All" special was... not that special. I feel like they always hype up these shows so much in previews and then when it's over I say "That's it?" I didn't even remember some of the girls at first (but laughed out loud when I realized one of them was Kim, our drunken "I hate you loof... hate have a damn" girl) and really didn't care to see any more of Erica wearing a tiara. I really hate how much attention they've given her and
Chris Harrison declaring her as one of the most talked about Bachelorettes ever. Please! The only good thing that came out of Erica's mouth tonight was when she made fun of Gina's pouty lips. Of course, I did love Jami calling Erica a bitch and Agnese saying that Erica pretended to cry but couldn't because she wasn't real.
So seven of the 10 rejected ladies said they thought Lorenzo would pick Jennifer next week and only then did I start getting that anxious feeling I always get during the last week of this show. Next week's two-hour finale is going to be pure torture of watching Lorenzo spend magical moments with two girls and knowing one of them will have her heart broken. And we'll be wondering who it's going to be up until the moment the other girl gets out of that first limo. At least in the meantime we'll be entertained with Lorenzo having to sit in a room with Jen and her parents, and with Sadie and her parents, too. Can we say awkward?
