I know I’m probably a day behind the rest of y’all, but I have to chime in about “The Bachelor” from last night.
As far as I can tell, Dr. Cutie McDreamy has no hope of a future with any of these girls.
The most likeable of the bunch – Sarah from Nashville – has zero chemistry with him. She is an adorable girl – cute as a bug – but they have about as much spark as a pack of matches left out in the rain. Not gonna work.
Sarah from Canada is cute enough, and they seem to have an attraction, but the look on his face when he realized that she still lived at home…pure horror. Bottom line: she’s just too young (and I just saw the end of the episode, so I know she didn’t get a rose. I’m telling you – it freaked him out that she lives with her mama).
Susan – fake fake fake fake fake fake fake. The whole “one person can’t fill another person up / cup of water” analogy? Somebody’s trying too hard, and it’s Susan.
Moana – Aside from the dreadful name, she’s a beautiful girl. But oooooh, is she troubled. Methinks someone struggles with insecurity issues…plus, if no one in the house liked her, there must be a reason. Where there’s smoke and all that….
He’s going to pick Moana because they have chemistry and because guys never see / heed the BIG FLASHING warning signs when a girl can’t get along with other girls. He’s going to give Moana the benefit of the doubt and decide that the other girls were just jealous. There is a term that Sister’s friend Shirley uses for situations where men fall for women like Moana, and while it is not necessarily appropriate for this type of forum, I do believe it would apply.
In the end, I fear, Dr. McDreamy is going to be decidedly unlucky in love. And I’m so tempted to do a medical pun right here (“He’s going to need some blind dates, STAT”), but I won’t because that would be really cheesy, wouldn’t it?
1. As previously discussed last week, I don’t watch “The Bachelor”. However, due to the fact that I live in his hometown, I am aware of certain factoids, or tidbits, if you will.
2. As I shared with you earlier via email, thanks to a co-worker’s investigative “drive-by”, I now know where Doogie lives.
3. Moana? You’re serious? Like Moan plus an “a”? Is this a joke? You spelled it that way 4 times, so it must be for real-do.
4. In memory of Lula Mae Patton, Shirley’s mama, the person who actually coined the phrase you were afraid to use, I now feel led to use it myself…and accept any and all responsibilites that follow…and won’t be offended if you hit “delete”.
Tootie-Whupped. Moana has Doogie Howser Tootie-Whupped.
YEAH, she does! Iwannathankya.
And rightfully so, with a name like that. ;)
Yes, that it is exactly the phrase to which I was referring. :-)
Moana is pronounced “MO-ANN-AH” – but it’s the most unfortunate spelling of a name ever. Worse than the name is the fact that she can’t get along with other girls and seems to have two emotions: 1) detached and 2) hysterical.
Might just be editing, though.
Okay, I can’t go with you on watching “reality” tv, so I must pass on some comments from Kelly Ripa (as related to me from Rosemary): “If they took the words ‘awesome, adorable, and connection’ out of the English language, people on The Bachelor would be rendered virtuously speechless.” :-)
Oh, and please allow me to add ONE more…AMAZING. They are all just AMAZING.
AMAZING, don’t you think? :)
Okay Su– you are actually EXACTLY correct! I misstyped “adorable” for “amazing”– perhaps because Chan was trying to run his Fisher Price school bus through the tunnel (which would be my legs) as I typed. :-)
Okay, I just misspelled “mistyped,” didn’t I?
Hi, Boomama and Sister,
I actually got those recipes on my blog, believe it or not, lol. I don’t know how to make a link to it, yet, but maybe you will read this or visit my blog and find them. Hope you have good luck with them and enjoy them, I have for over 20 years.
I don’t watch The Batchelor, so I can’t comment on it……Sounds hilarious, tho, or maybe you make it seem that way by your comments…..lol.
Blessings,
Diane
Laura,
Let’s add “JOURNEY” to the list, too.
“Oh Doogie, I feel as if we’ve had such an awesome connection on this amazing journey together.”
Now, that. right. there. is one of the reasons I simply cannot stomach “The Bachelor”.
But, I CAN stomach Diane’s cinnamon rolls! Boomama, hurry! Quick! Get the recipe on here soon!
:)
