Холостячкa #11

barish

<center></center>Shawn E. pulled up in the coolest, most amazing bit of technology I’ve ever seen. I love this country for many reasons, but the fact that somebody in this great land invented a hot tub car makes me love the U-S-of-A that much more. Speaking of cool cars, you have to appreciate the cupcake car. Even if you don’t, the ladies definitely loved Chris’s entrance in the giant cupcake. I have a feeling a nickname has been born.

Once the ladies got inside, things actually seemed pretty normal again. Kaitlyn and Britt found their own space so for the most part it seemed like a regular cocktail party. The only difference was that instead of the ladies trying to gather all the information they can about the guys before they make a difficult decision, they were the ones trying to make the good first impression.

Speaking of first impressions, we have to talk about Ryan. I can’t really add much about Ryan that you didn’t see for yourself. He was a sloppy mess and he needed to go home. Like I said, I sent Ryan home for a myriad of reasons. When we made the decision to send the guy home and I had Pauly bring him outside, I wasn’t sure how he was going to react. I was half expecting him to be aggressive with me and for things to get tense. Instead, when I confronted him, he just melted — that’s the best way I can describe the change I saw in his demeanor. It’s like all at once he realized he’d stepped way out of bounds and made a massive mistake. I instantly felt sorry for the guy, especially since he even got a little emotional. He didn’t say much to me as he was leaving, he just accepted his fate and headed home.

After Ryan left, it was like a dark cloud was lifted and everybody could concentrate on what was really important: the vote. It definitely made the dynamic that first night different from any I’d ever seen before. The guys were not only taking this seriously, they ended up trying to sway each other into keeping the woman they wanted. The truth is some of these guys were going to be a little disappointed if the woman they voted for didn’t win the vote. When all the roses were in, my man Pauly and I went in to tabulate the votes and see who the guys had ended up choosing. Just so you know, Ryan never voted. He went in the room knocked pictures off the wall, threw roses around but he never cast a vote, and we were just fine with that.
<center></center>Once I counted the votes, I set out to tell the ladies one at a time if they would be going home heartbroken or if they were going to be the new Bachelorette. Both of these ladies are sweet and I like and respect them both. I wasn’t looking forward to breaking either of their hearts.

And then this week on a very special Tuesday episode, you’ll see who the guys have chosen to be our new Bachelorette. The tables will turn and the men will have to try to win the affection of their official Bachelorette. Welcome to a new season, one that is sure to be the most dramatic season yet…

Прикольно, что Джо привез Катрин попробовать свой самогон... :D
Сказал, что он из Кентуки, а Кентуки славится своим самогоном!

Райан хотел проголосовать за Бритт, но слишком далеко отошёл от ящика для голосования, поэтому, ясное дело, промазал. Но швырнул розу сильно. Только зря её разбил... А может быть, ему не объяснили, как нужно голосовать, чтобы голос засчитали? :rolf: :rolf: :rolf:

Хотя Бритт красивее, но Кейтлин харизматичнее, и за счёт этого была более интересной на тетах с парнями. На некоторых тетах Бритт, было впечатление, переигрывала, слабенькая как актриса оказалась. На некоторые ситуации реагировала штампами. Так на конкурсах красоты девушки отвечают штампами - стандартные ответы на стандартные вопросы. Сезон с Бритт в роли Холостячки был бы нудным. За Кейтлин интереснее наблюдать, она более подвижная и умная, а поэтому менее предсказуема. ))

<center></center>Sharleen Joynt on The Bachelorette: Episode One

Considering how cavalierly the show announced the “Double Bachelorette” concept in March, conveniently skimming over the details (and the debatably sexist undertones), they certainly weren’t afraid to flesh out the awkward logistics in all their glory last night. As Chris Harrison summed up with a completely straight face in the episode’s opening, “Will this be awkward and probably a little bit painful? Sure.” Let’s recap, shall we?
First, we were treated to a refresher re: the Bachelorettes in question. Except their segments weren’t in the slightest about who the girls are, but rather montages of their least flattering moments on Chris’s season. Seriously! Beyond hammering home the fact that the ladies are looking for love (I think we’ve gathered that), we mostly saw clips of Kaitlyn telling dirty jokes (even the funniest jokes aren’t funny when you rehash them to death) and removing her bikini bottoms to skinny dip. (Think I’m exaggerating? The adjectives used to describe Kaitlyn: Funny, Sexy, Sometimes Completely Inappropriate). In stark contrast, Britt was shown looking intense, like she had no sense of humour, and shedding lots of tears (hence Sincere, Emotional, Very Loving).
There’s presumably more to these women than the six to eight weeks they spent filming The Bachelor. What are their jobs or career aspirations? What do they do for fun? Where are they from and what were their upbringings like? Later in the episode we learn Kaitlyn has travelled a great deal and Britt has a sponsor child. Those details were completely glossed over yet strike me as a lot more revealing than close-ups of running mascara.

привет! тоже посмотрела. Макс , полностью согласна с тобой . Кейтлин тоже иногда заигрывалась в хохотушку, но м.б. это от нервов. вообще, неудобная ситуация, когда девушки вдвоем встречали парней. Мало приятного было наблюдать как парень мечется между девушками, а они стоят и слушают как он отвешивает любезности сопернице. Парни неплохие, ну куда же без пьяных заплывов в бассейне. традиция, однако. Когда продолжение? во вторник?

Naturally, upon their limousine exits, the men were made to physically approach their preferred woman first. Would it have been too humane to let the girls stand together, greet the men together, and save the individual conversations for their allotted chat time? Apparently yes. The Bachelorette couldn’t let its leads forget even for a second that they were competing against one another.

When it came time for Britt and Kaitlyn to get to know the guys, there was a palpable panic in the women’s eyes that made me want to jump into the television screen and hug them. Britt summed it up aptly (and hilariously) with, “I feel like I have to go in and, in 20 seconds, prove myself as wife material so that they put a rose in my box.”

I’ve always have a hard time seeing the appeal of the men on Night One. If they’re quiet and reasonable, they tend to not be given airtime. If they’re brash or arrogant, they get the wrong sort of airtime. That sweet spot in the middle is the guy who seems gentlemanly and normal but whom you still see a lot of, revealing a possible frontrunner (Brady, Shawn B, Tony). My personal first-impression standouts were Ben H., Ian and Chris. Low points went to Josh, who relied too heavily on the latter occupation in “Law Student/Exotic Dancer,” and Kupah, who openly admitted on national television that he’s looking for a trophy wife (yuck). Last but not least, Ryan McDill. (I can’t just say Ryan M; when your surname sounds like something you could order at McDonald’s, you’re on full-name terms.) There’s always that Night One drunkard we all love to hate: Chris’s Tara, Andi’s Craig, Juan Pablo’s Victoria… But imagine those two hours sans Ryan McDill and his mortifying shenanigans. Classier? Yes. More entertaining? No.

I’ll name my top four predictions when the big Bachelorette reveal has taken place. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s recap!

'The Bachelorette': Chris Harrison Blogs Night 2

We picked up Tuesday night right where we left off Monday, with me walking through the house out to let the ladies know who the men had chosen to be our Bachelorette. I wasn’t looking forward to having to tell Britt the guys had voted her out of the house, dashing her hopes of being the Bachelorette. Britt was supremely confident, and I think her brief time with the guys had only bolstered that confidence. I could tell when I told her the news that she was out that she felt like a rug had been pulled out from under her. I truly think she was caught off guard.

I think in the beginning both ladies were realistic about the chance it might not work out and they were careful not to let their mind wander too far down the road. But as the night went on, both of them couldn’t help but let their heart and mind go there. It wasn’t fun having to tell Britt she wasn’t the one, and even tougher to have to walk her out and literally show her the door. I felt she handled it like a lady with the upmost respect and dignity.

As you saw, all might not be lost for Britt, but more on that later. After telling Britt the bad news it was time to tell our new Bachelorette that she was the one. Her reaction was priceless and incredibly genuine. I thought it was sweet and very telling of the type of woman Kaitlyn is that she didn’t really know how to feel or act. On one hand she was extremely excited, but on the other she felt bad for Britt. We only showed her mentioning Britt one or two times on the show but she probably asked me about Britt about five different times. At one point she made me tell her exactly how it went down and how Britt reacted. Britt and Kaitlyn are very different people, but they are both sweet, caring women.
The men have spoken and Kaitlyn is now our Bachelorette.

<center></center>Now it was time to make her understand she needed to come to grips with this reality very quickly, because we had a rose ceremony fast approaching. Kaitlyn had no idea we were going to do this. She figured it was already incredibly late and a lot had gone down, so that was probably going to be it for the night. She handled the turn of events rather well, and went in there to face the men, many of whom didn’t vote for her. Kaitlyn was well aware of this fact and she really appreciated guys like Jared who admitted they voted for Britt but that they really wanted to stay and get to know her. It’s a dynamic no other Bachelorette has ever had to deal with, and Kaitlyn is to be commended for how she dealt with it. Overall I really like how vulnerable, open and honest Kaitlyn is. It’s going to make for a fun, entertaining season for all of us. You can also probably tell Kaitlyn isn’t shy about showing her affection with the guys. Chris aka Cupcake, got the first kiss this season, but Shawn B. got the first impression rose and an even better kiss.
