Due to Memorial Day weekend this Bachelorette viewing consisted of me and my snarky comments that I made to the television as I watched the show. I enjoyed my company though and I caught myself laughing a few times over my witty remarks.
The show was on Monday and now it is Wednesday, so I have had time to really gather my thoughts on everything that is happening to poor Emily and this delayed post really puts perspective on what was really important. Anyways now to the good stuff.
Emily's first date was with "creepy eye guy" . They walked up the side of a building to have dinner (definitely not as cool as walking up the bay bridge) and then they watched a concert with some country star. Emily was a little concerned because he was younger than her, but what really concerned me is the strange, fake vibe that I get from this guy. I can't explain it, but he just seems like he is trying too hard to impress her or maybe he is really a creep trying to play nice. I am not sure, but he is not one of my favorites. Of course I try not to jump to any conclusions because maybe he is a really nice guy and he is nervous about the cameras. Who knows, but this is just my gut reaction.
The second date was a group date. She took the men to the park where they were questioned by her friends then forced to play with kids and pretend they were having fun. The fitness guy made some comment about hoping that Emily didn't get fat which he said in front of her friends. (really??, What an idiot). The friends all liked a guy with blond hair. He seems like he is nice enough. She ended up listening to her friends and giving the rose to him. Emily sent home the lumber jack during the date because he missed his kid. She just wasn't that into him and maybe it really made her uncomfortable to see a grown man cry like a baby.
The last date was a one on one with Arie (the racecar driver) They went to Dollywood and then Dolly Parton put on a short concert for them. It was sweet and Emily was so excited to meet Dolly and I am still trying to figure out how Dolly can play her guitar with fake nails. I am sure Arie was thinking that he was lucky to be there too because he knows that anytime Emily thinks about meeting Dolly she will think about him too.
At the final rose ceremony, Emily had a strange conversation with Alessandro, who's occupation is Grain Merchant which really is code for migrant worker. He told her because she had a child marrying her would be a compromise for him. There was also some interesting facts about him that came out when the show was over like he was dating his cousin and his one night stands. Anyways he had to go immediately. When she got to handing out the roses she only had to eliminate one suitor. Sorry Stevie! I guess it is time to pack your bags You were just too jersey shore for this southern girl. Can't wait for next week.

Second Show
Our Bachelorette group doubled in attendance this week and if you count the texts from our friend, who was in San Diego, and my brother in law's text which simply read, "NOOOOO StevIE" it has already tripled in size. After some snacks and Crystal Light we all cuddled up on the couch to follow Emily on her journey to find "the one."
The first one on one date Emily chose the personal trainer with tan skin, biceps the size of cantalope, (I'd like to squeeze those), and perfectly straight, bleached teeth. His hair was carefully fuzzed up and held strategically in place with gel to cover up places where it is starting to thin out, but this imperfection is endearing because it makes him seem attainable.
Emily and him made cookies at her house for her daughter's soccer game. The conversation of course was boring, but they made a ridiculously gorgeous couple. After they dropped the cookies off it was time for the real date to begin. It must have been uneventful because I can't even remember any of the details, but I think that Emily had a fabulous dress on. She gave him the rose, but their conversation was overshadowed by the fact that we were all so intrigued by how she got the rose to stay on his shirt without using a pin. Is it magnetic?
After she dropped her personal trainer off at the mansion, Emily went home to get a good night sleep in preparation for the first group date. The next day she along with a slew of men performed a play with the Muppets, this part of the show dragged on forever. As one of the contestants put it ".. at least Kermit is funny." because the men were all equally boring and lame.
This is when one of my girlfriends made the statement we were all thinking, " I think reality TV has run out of quality men. " We couldn't help but agree. Each season the men seem to get a little less attractive, a little less educated, and a little less charming. There were several interesting job titles like mushroom farmer, log trader, and luxury consultant. Along with aspiring singer/songwriter, entrepreneur, and other creative labels for unemployed. I am surprised that there is not a bigger pool of men to choose from. Emily gave the rose to the the skateboarder from Utah. Who we are cheering for just because he is from Utah.
The last date was a one on one with Joe. She brought him to a hotel she visited as a child. At dinner she asked him serious questions about his/their future. He failed to include key words such as babies, family, marriage. The date ended with her walking him to the car without rose. See you Joe!
A few more men were booted off last night the only one who was slightly interesting was the biology teacher. Can't wait for next week.

Bachelorette Premier
So in case you missed last night's premier, here is what happened. Emily brought her southern charm on and most of the men were pretty lame. Sadly, my friend and I decided out of the 25 only about five or six were even worth her time, but isn't that how it always is.
One man flew in on an helicopter. Emily didn't seem impressed and his ostentatious entrance made him a target for mud slinging comments from all the other suitors. Of course the bacehlor francise capitalized on these bro fights by adding dramatic music; however, the green shirt guy that was mainly picking fights with the helicopter dude, was pretty lame and his insults lacked creativity. (don't know their names yet)
Emily gave her first impression rose to a man who had his son write a letter to her. It was sweet, but also a little sappy for my taste; however, when you only have a few minutes to make an impression it was obviously a good move on his part.
In the end she eliminated five men, who cried and whined about how there is no one out there for them (Blah, Blah, Blah) and one ripped off his shirt to show what she was missing (yummy!) Sadly this rose ceremony was kind of boring and there were not as many crazies and bro fights as I was hoping for. Luckily the season looks like it is full of drama and I am hoping Emily finds someone worthy of her.
