a few thoughts on Episode 2 - The Sonoma Conundrum:
1. Ben still looks like a monkey
2. They must have shot the scenes on Sonoma Square, and subsequent dinner at The Girl and the Fig, at midnight or later. The Square is never that quiet, especially during Harvest (when this was filmed).
3. Ben lived in Sonoma until he was seven (?), moved to SF, then SD, then off to college in AZ, then back to Sonoma to "make wine with his friends" and he's "local"? riiiigghhhhttt.
4. The average cup size of the remaining bachelorhood remains a solid "C" after last night's "A" cup and "DD" eliminations.
5. Shooting in wine country and having the women drink mostly wine has mitigated alcohol-fueled rants and insane behavior. Please return the tramps to their native environs in LoCal and crank up the margarita machine.
6. I'm convinced Ben watched "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" at least 50 times before deciding to name his dog "Scotch".
7. Monica as "The Dragon" in the local play showed more enthusiasm and creativity than the entire LSU offense did against 'Bama.
8. Prediction: The Model will hang around until the hometown dates, and will get dumped by Ben once he realizes she has no family in AZ other than three feral cats and a sorority sister from Delta Delta Delta.
9. The producers have done a great job hiding/masking wine labels for the cameras....except the Penfold's Shiraz which got prime placement in the kitchen last night when the women were bad-mouthing the VIP Cocktail Waitress.
