So my Bachelorette posts have been few and far between this season. And by "few" I mean none. And by "far between" I mean months and months since my last one. In fact, I haven't written one at all on this new season.
But I am finding it hard to care about this season. And I wanted to, I really did. I wanted to care whether or not Ali ever found love after losing out on Jake last season, but I don't root for Ali the same way I was rooting for Jillian. Maybe because Ali is so cute and so tan. Her hair extensions actually look real and her smile lights up a room. You're telling me this girl couldn't get a date?
Puh-leeze.
Doesn't ABC get it? I don't want to see a show about a girl who just hadn't found the right guy even though she had a different one approaching her any given Saturday night. I want to see a show about a girl who was just down. on. her. luck. Maybe that's why I kinda liked Jillian. She was cute as could be - but she put off this vibe; this "uh, oh, I'm getting older and most of the guys my age are married and I'm not and I'm starting to freak a little" kind of vibe.
Oh, and Turkey and Iceland? Romantic? What are they thinking? You can find more romance on the first Saturday of the month at the 75904 trade days (a.k.a. giant flea market). I know, I've seen people falling in love over mismatched china and Daniel Boone hats.
But what this post is really about.............Jake and Vienna. Its over. Why? What happened? I never saw it coming. Ever. Or did I? I did. I totally did.
Do you realize that is one season I will never, ever get back?
Thoughts?

Ha. This was an amusing post. Thank you :).
Was so not suprised to hear that Jake and Vienna broke up. Not at all. I don't think any honest viewer would be shocked. She just wasn't a nice person, and I wonder if he finally realized that.
I KNEW it wouldn't last. Vienna was a troublemaker and a flirt and not a very nice girl. Jake was not thinking with his brain. Then, I read somewhere that they were already living together after the show, so that blew the whole thing for me. Blew it for them, too, I imagine. He REALLY found out what she was like. Not that he was perfect by any means - she just wasn't the girl. He should have let Ali come back. He goofed. I'm watchin' this season - disappointed in the guys so far...wonder if Ali could get Jake back on - but she probably doesn't want him back now...
Maybe that is going to be the 'twist' of all twists this season. Maybe Ali will end up with Jake afterall.
I'm watching this season and I don't think Ali is waiting to find the right guy so much as waiting to find just the right tv/movie/fashion offer. She doesn't seem like she seriously wants to settle down and be married.
re Jake and Vienna breaking up? Shocking : )
Jake and Vienna are precisely why I am no longer watching ABC's The Bachelor....I now spend my time on more stimulating programming, i.e. Toddlers and Tiaras and America's Got Talent.
Well, Vienna always did have a wandering eye! Oh, Melissa, you could be wreaking havoc with the guys alone for this season. Aren't you glad you don't have to hear, "guard and protect your heart," one more time?? and the weatherman?? girl, you have got to dish it out!
I stopped watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette after the season that had the Doctor from Vandy and the hometown girl from Nashville "fall in love" only to find out later that the whole thing was staged b/c he wanted out of it. The whole show is just a sham. Bridezillas is soooo much better!!!
