They couldn't have found any better location for that rose ceremony? Hey all the girls will be dressed up and in high-heels...we must have the rose ceremony here on these rocks spaced 9 inches apart!

It was like watching Indiana Jones trying not to step on the rocks that would shoot poison arrows and a swinging axe as they walked for their rose.

 
Good stuff on the blog Picks, particularly the screen shot by screen shot breakdown (literal breakdown).

Still think you're overrating Nicki - any time she moves a muscle in her face it looks like the left side of it is about to slide off her skull, except her schnoz which points in the opposite direction.

 
Well I was looking online to see a pic of Nicki to figure out which one she was and I got the spoiler info. Oh well, I'll still watch. I like the show.

One of the subtly funny parts of the last episode was when Ben and her were talking about their careers, and he's saying he's found what he wants to do for the rest of his life and how he's just getting started in his career. Then "you too right?" And she says something like "definitely." She's a 28 year old "model." :lmao: The naivete on both their parts there was priceless and so perfect for a situation where a guy is trying to sell us that he's actually going to select his wife out of a made for audience approval gaggle of chicks on a t.v. show. Why, yes Ben and Courtney, she's going to be a beautiful, vapid model for the rest of her life, and wouldn't that be just wonderful.

like when they sat down with Scotch near the river and she says [paraphrasing]: "I don't get asked out on many dates" and he responds, "Really? I don't believe that. [subtext: 'because you are so SMOKIN'HOT!']" part of me wants to think he actually believes that she doesn't get asked out that much, and that he's found the one "stripper model with a heart of gold" on the show and that she really likes him, evidenced by how she's sitting on the same blanket with him.

the other part wants to think that Ben's smarter than he appears, and his response was a sardonic crack that went way over her head, and showed the audience he's on to her little game of self-promotion but is going to keep her around to see what she looks like naked and tell all his friends about the experience in graphic detail the next time they sit down over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

either way, it's all good.

 
I definately want to see more of Emily - the Hippie in the play last night! Overall, this group is ok, but not incredibly stunning by any stretch.

What was with the shock by the blogger that she got sent home? First she was crying in the ladies room and then decides to go lie down during the rose ceremony. No chance even Ben the monkey boy could keep her around.

I hope Blakely does not go too far, but just far enough for her to appear in Bachelor Pad over the summer with her awesome attitude.. now that would make for good tv :bag:

I just want to point out how awesome it was that it took 2 hours of footage to narrow the field down from 18 to 16. That must have been a really tough challenge for Ben to only find 2 flawed women in that cathouse. (which reminds me - what did Blakely say that set everyone off - it was something about a henhouse, but I didn't catch the wording)

It actually did shock me. Not that I thought she shouldn't be going home, but that the Bachelor Producers didn't force Ben to keep her for the drama she created.

good point - that thought did fleetingly cross my mind when Ben found her laying in bed wearing her red dress.Edit to add: Maybe that was too much.. even for the producers! :shrug:

Two hours?Here is some illuminating insight from my current search keywords:pictures of ben flajnik before nose job: 2a real epic journey: 1blonde ### looking for help from principal: 1real epic journey: 1wonders.of.the.universe: 1
 
As the wife and I were sitting down to watch Episode 2 last night, I looked at her and said "Do we really want to do this again?" She said "Your call." I hit play and made it through the introductory scenes filled with clips that could've been taken from any episode of any of the previous seasons of this show. That was followed quickly by [stop] and then [delete]. Ben seems like a nice guy but he's a total bore. At least with Brad I could have fun with the tool factor. I'm out.

It doesn't f'n matter who the lead is. You have a gaggle of mostly attractive, highly unstable females to amuse you. I don't see what the problem is here. Skip the Bachelorette. You need to watch this.

I'm gonna have to think about this. I just don't know if I can, in good conscience, only give 50 to 60% when you're out there giving it a full 100%. I don't even want to consider the fact that you might be giving it 110%.

I thought episode 2 was one of the best episodes in years.The kids writing a play and then having the chicks try out for parts was pure tv gold.

Alright, after speaking with my counsel, I decided to give it another shot. I will say that the main mistake I made on the first attempted viewing was to go in stone-cold sober. I'm pretty sure that will never happen again. Overall, I have to agree with JoeT - it was a highly entertaining episode. Also, the blog writeup was, as usual, spot on and the end was epic. A couple of quick thoughts:Blakeley - My initial impression of her was that I thought she was pretty hot, but it's clear now that it's in that "I wanna thundergun one across those big, fake #### of yours and please do me the courtesy of being gone before I hit the sheets" kind of way. If there's one chick in the lot here that wouldn't fit with the guy that I think Ben is, it's her. There's absolutely nothing real about her. And the "crying in the corner" bit? Nuh uh. If you wanna see a chick that's been crying reference the end of Pickles' blog post, not someone who looks like she is headed to the AVN Awards. O/U on the number of years before she appears in porn: 3.

Courtney - She has weirdmouth. And she's a model? I can see it, like if we're talking about a Eukanuba ad or the kind of model that waves her hand across this new Frigidaire and these his-and-her dirt bikes! If she can act at all she might find her way into a Jackie O role here or there at the Sonoma Community Theater when her globe-trotting days are over. Well, except for the fact that Ben Flapjack will surely wise up, right?

Both of these ladies are the types that make me want to wretch but what would this show be without those types? Something your grandmother would watch, that's what.

 
If I were Ben, I would not have given a rose to any of those wenches after the way they reacted to Shawntel. I would say give me a whole new batch or I walk.

 
I have to say that city snow skiing was niiiiiice.....had to pause the dvr a couple of times in that segment.

 
Bikini Skiing was very nice! I thought Ben was crazy for not keeping Shawntal around. She is revealing a crazy side that we had not seen before.

It would have been suicide for Ben to keep Shawntel around. He knew it and had to cut her loose. The women wouldn't have stood for it. At the very least they would have bottled up and been less receptive to the "process." he made the right (and obvious) call. Of course, better TV would have been to keep her. I think they could have tried to bring her in earlier rather than have her show up at the last second for a rose. That was a shock to the system and the transplant was rejected. I'm wasting my best metaphors here. The write up will be later. Whoever thought to bring her in was a genius. Now every future guy will want a Shawntel so they can see how the women react. It was worth it to him. Best part is that he can say he had no idea.
 
Bringing in Shawntel wasn't a good move by the show and I agree Ben was very smart to not keep her. What would've made for awesome tv would've been to bring Jennifer Love Hewitt in. I was kind of hoping for that when I saw the preview (I know a longshot that would've had a million spoilers).

 
Getting lost in the shuffle here is that he had a chance to keep one of the two other chicks and he sent them both packing anyway. I don't know why either one were around for as long as they were. There also seems to be no chemistry between him and the fitness trainer.

Gotta figure Jennifer & Kacie are headed for the final 4.

Speaking of thick thighs....
 
i didn't expect shawntel... i really thought it was going to be michelle money.

I think it would've been awesome to keep her and throw off one of the other trolls who he knows has no chance.

but i suppose he did make the right choice for him.

Is it me or does Ben look kind of like Raphael Nadal
