First Class Ladies

ABC has decided to reward bachelor Jake Pavelka for being such a "stand up guy" on last season's Canadian Edition of The Bachelorette.

On The Wings of Love

They say that you only get one chance to make a first impression…well someone should have given these ladies a “Do This…Not That!” guide to meeting The Bachelor.

Ten Things to Hate About Rozlyn

#1 She hooks up with the prop guy...

Mon Jan 18 22:05:45 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

The Tale of the Evil Princess, a Tease, and the Psycho

On this week's episode of The Bachelor, Jake realizes that this experience isn't quite the fairytale he thought it would be.

Mon Feb 01 14:13:58 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

Road Trip to Love

Jake made it very clear this week that if you don't look like a wife, smell like a wife, or remind me of someone I might like to see in a wedding dress...get off my show!

Mon Feb 01 20:41:05 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

Fortune Cookie Says...The Road Ends Here

I can't decide whether I'm more upset that Vienna is still on the show and I now have to look at her and her really bad hair extensions for another week or if I'm just mad that he cut Corrie...

Final Four : February Madness

Hometown date night is always my favorite part of the season. It’s a time to see where the ladies come from and whether they've been themselves...or if they've been faking it all season.

Mon Feb 15 20:47:24 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

Island Fantasy

I don't know about you, but I feel like taking a vacation to St. Lucia. I don't necessarily want to go with Jake and his 3 groupies, but...

Mon Feb 22 19:59:26 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

I'm Not a Tramp...I Just Play One on TV.

The Women Tell All turned out to be HALF...let's see how The Bachelor gives back to the community and helps rejected singles get a second chance at love...AND HALF the "how much do you hate Rozlyn" show.

Mon Mar 01 22:10:01 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

A Tale of Two Diamonds

Most of us spend our lives looking to find a diamond in the rough…but apparently Jake just wants rough.

Mon Mar 08 20:56:24 PST 2010 by Christie Humphries

The Mesnick Wedding

Somewhere over the rainbow...there's a drenched bride.

Mon May 24 23:59:22 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

How Many Tricks Does It Take to Get a Treat?

I'm so glad that San Francisco Barbie ditched her pink Corvette for a convertible Audi. It makes the show so much more realistic. And the men...well all I can say is I've never seen a bunch quite like this one.

Mon May 31 20:57:15 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

May the Best Man Win

I think my dating pool may actually be better than Ali’s on this show…and that’s REALLY saying something if you’ve seen the pools that I’ve been swimming in lately.

Mon Jun 07 23:17:51 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

Hop Goes the Weasel

I think that the mouse hunt at the end of the show may have been the most exciting and suspenseful part of this week's episode.

Mon Jun 14 21:37:39 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

I Heart You Ali

Oh Kasey…what can I say that you haven’t already said in song? I don’t need you to guard and protect my heart…I need someone to guard and protect my ears.

Mon Jun 21 22:56:53 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

My Hands are Cold...Could You Hurry Up and Finish Your Poem?!

There is nothing I love more than poetry day on The Bachelorette. It was no surprise to me that cutie boy Kirk won over Ali's heart and the one on one date with lines like... "I found myself falling into your rich root beer eyes".

Mon Jun 28 21:44:56 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

Rated J for Jerk

Welcome to Turkey Ali...one of your boyfriends is cheating on you! The show began with a wakeup call from Ali’s friend Jesse, who called to rat Justin out for having a girlfriend back home...

Mon Jul 05 21:06:09 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

Two for One Week

Ali was sad and confused this week. Probably because ABC has taken her and her suitors on the most random trip around the world ever.

Mon Jul 12 21:47:39 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

A Little Bit Taller

I think that Kirk should have been able to opt out of the hometown date. At the very least, he should have been allowed to call rent-o-family and borrow some normal people who wouldn’t screw things up for him.

Mon Jul 19 21:33:10 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

Lonely in Paradise

I'm so glad Frank managed to get his free trip to Tahiti before telling Ali that he was in love with another woman.

Mon Jul 26 21:55:18 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

Men Tell All About It

Okay…well what do I have to say about that? I know one thing…I’m not going to sing about it. I’ll leave that to Kasey. They should seriously hand out ear plugs to the audience.

Mon Aug 02 23:38:49 PDT 2010 by Christie Humphries

Roberto's Bacheloretta

I wonder if Chris watched the show and thought to himself...you know Roberto really is a sexy man.

Sun Jan 02 00:32:55 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

My Boyfriend's Back!

Well if it isn't ole Brad Womack back for another beating! Brad…what are you thinking?

Mon Jan 03 21:40:13 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Twilight - The Bachelor Take Two

Brad, I hope your therapist called you for an appointment when he saw that you picked the vampire. I’m really rooting for you this season buddy, but you’re killing me.

Mon Jan 10 22:34:23 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Not Quite Cougar Town

How do you choose between onion breath and an energy suck? You don't. You cut them both.

Mon Jan 17 21:36:52 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Just Say No to Needing a Rose

Madison (the vampire girl) surprised me and I'm sure everyone else tonight when she let down her hair, took out her fangs and said no to the rose.

Mon Jan 24 23:17:06 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Michelle Week on The Bachelor

From start to finish this week, it was a non-stop display of Michelle, her black eye, and her craziness.

Sat Feb 05 15:09:28 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Vegas Babies

I was out of town all week and finally had a chance to watch this week's episode and I have to say, I was a little disappointed.

Mon Feb 07 22:08:55 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Leave them at the Altar

Poor Ali was all excited for her first one on one date until she realized it would be her last.

Mon Feb 14 20:52:03 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

Well Michelle, it looks like the only person Brad won’t be “friending” on Facebook is you!

Mon Feb 21 22:52:00 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Three Potential Weddings and a Funeral

What is it about hometown dates that make everyone start squealing?

Mon Feb 28 22:36:35 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Brad Has His Hands On Two In The Bush

With so many difficult decisions to make, it’s always nice to have the fantasy suite around to bring clarity to one’s relationship.

Mon Mar 07 19:34:26 PST 2011 by Christie Humphries

Alligator Tears

I like to think of the Women Tell All episodes as the “Why He Just Wasn’t That Into You” episodes.

Mon Mar 14 22:53:06 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Mr. and Mrs. Not So Right

Well I have to say that the aftershow was much better than the actual show tonight.

Mon May 23 23:15:43 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

One Mask Too Many

The Bachelorette begins with a dance sequence (umm when did Ashley learn to dance? I don’t remember that from The Bachelor last season)...

Tue May 31 21:22:08 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Heads You Lose...Tails You Lose

Am I the only one who was a little frightened when the masked man said, “Tonight’s the night I’m going to reveal myself to Ashley”?

Mon Jun 06 21:22:07 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Bentley's Mask of Horrible

What a serious group of douchebags! Jeff, William and worst of all Bentley! To begin…

Thu Jun 23 21:26:54 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

The Bachelorette…Sponsored by Bentley

Ashley is a lucky girl! It’s too bad she couldn’t really enjoy it because she was too busy obsessing over Bentley.

Mon Jun 27 23:08:41 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Losing Connections

I don’t think it surprised anyone that Bentley was down for a free vacation to Hong Kong.

Tue Jul 12 11:55:14 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

I Pee On Your Love Lantern

I think my favorite part of the show was the last two minute clip where Ashley and Constantine stopped to rest their weary feet and a stray dog decided to relieve himself on their giant red “love lantern”.

Mon Jul 18 22:11:47 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

A Lifetime of Adventures with Myself

Well we have finally made it to the final four! Ames, JP, and the twins have one last shot to win Ashley’s heart with some hometown cooking!

Mon Jul 25 21:14:35 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Almost Over

I think ABC could have saved us all hours of boredom by simply taking Ashley out of the room on that first night and having Chris Harrison ask the guys to raise their hand if they wanted to leave...

Sun Jul 31 22:45:28 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Tell It All

The Bachelorette – The Men Tell All started with a montage of the funniest moments of the season…which we never saw.

Mon Aug 01 22:16:22 PDT 2011 by Christie Humphries

Can't Fight The Feelings

I’ve seen my name spelled a lot of different ways, but never Chrystie. I think the Devil spelled it that way. I know Ashley’s sister Chrystie was trying to protect her, but she was more like a honey badger attacking a snake.

Mon Jan 02 19:28:45 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

Big hats and beauty queens

Ben has his hands full this season with some wicked women who just don't know how to play nice.

Mon Jan 09 21:32:58 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: This is no fairytale

Ben might have been the one wearing the sheep costume on the group date, but the women on this show are definitely the wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Mon Jan 16 23:37:07 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: Devil wears red

This week on The Bachelor, Ben takes the women to San Francisco to see where he lives and get a little advice from his sister.

Mon Jan 23 21:06:42 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: No one is really winning!

I don’t know why Courtney chose “Winning!” as her catch phrase for the night. I’m not sure that I would want to identify myself with someone like Charlie Sheen on a dating show. He’s not exactly a role model for ever-lasting love.

Mon Jan 30 22:51:41 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: There is no crying in baseball, but there is skinny dipping on "The Bachelor"

Well Ben certainly couldn't take these ladies to the Virgin Islands, so why not Puerto Rico?

Mon Feb 06 21:01:49 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: The most awkward "Bachelor" ever

I don't know what made me more uncomfortable, Casey's crying or Jamie's frontal mount...either way this was the most awkward Bachelor ever!

Mon Feb 13 22:45:06 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: Dating pool of sharks

Rachel may have been afraid of swimming with sharks, but she should have been more worried about the one she was living with.

Mon Feb 20 19:48:39 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: Is that a gamble you want to take?

The hometown dates are always the hardest episodes to write about. I almost fell asleep twice.

Mon Feb 27 20:57:57 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: Everything I ever dreamed of

I wonder if Nicki regrets wearing that toga?

Mon Mar 05 20:28:23 PST 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: Drama mamas

If I took a drink every time one of the girls said “journey” or “connection”, I would have REALLY enjoyed this show.

Mon Mar 12 22:10:46 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

"Bachelor" Blog: Not a fairytale ending

The sad truth is that women watch this show for the fairytale.

Tue May 15 21:46:43 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

Baby Momma Drama

I think every season of The Bachelorette should begin with the guys getting out of the limo and taking their shirts off.

Mon May 21 22:16:42 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

Chase Me

Ryan is dreamy…he’s the kind of guy that takes you out on a series of wonderful dates, sleeps with you, and never calls you again.

Tue May 29 23:13:59 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

All Dolled Up

Isn’t there some kind of screening process for The Bachelorette? If they ask a Bachelor about their past relationship and the guy starts the sentence by saying, “Me and my cousin…” that should be the end of the screening process.

Mon Jun 04 20:03:53 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

All Frogs Go To The Bermuda Triangle

I’ve been trying to figure out Emily’s strategy and I think I finally have it. She’s kissing a lot of frogs…and I mean kissing and kissing and kissing…trying to find her prince.

Tue Jun 12 20:49:07 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

To Have Baggage or Not to Have Baggage...That is the Question

As if reality TV is not dramatic enough…Emily has to go and make it more dramatic by over-reacting to Kalon’s careless comments about her “baggage”. Seriously?! We all have baggage.

Tue Jun 19 22:38:39 PDT 2012 by Christie Humphries

Bye Bye Guys

I’m so happy that ABC has provided beautiful, single, rich, blonde women with a venue to find love…because God knows they were having such a difficult time before.
