Bachelorette 6 Recap – 6/21/10 Plus Your Official Ending & Jake and Vienna Dunzo!
Remember, for this seasons spoilers, click on the either of the two links under the banner above (Part 1 & Part 2) for all your answers regarding what happens this season. Part 2 is all about Justin’s scandal next week involving his girlfriend. Might wanna freshen up on that before next Monday to get the background of how it all goes down.
For those that haven’t been back to the site since last week, I posted Friday where everything stands in regards to the final two and what I know. Go back and read it if you haven’t. However, I have a new update. Now I have absolute 100% confirmation that Ali is single. She chose no one. Don’t know who came out of the limo first, don’t know if either of the guys proposed, don’t know what she said to them. All I know is Ali did not choose either Roberto or Chris and is single. I knew my sources would come through for me. So whatever you hear over the next six weeks in regards to rumors she might be with one of them, don’t listen to it. Can’t make it any clearer. Ali is single. And no, just because Jake is single now does not mean he and Ali are gonna end up together. That’ll happen around never. Already people are speculating he’ll try and get her back or something ridiculous. I’m telling you, it’s not gonna happen so don’t bother hoping it will. UPDATE: Well, here’s the proof. Ali has already addressed it and says there’s no chance. Click here to read what she says.
I’d like to thank the patrons of Chicago this past weekend for a crazy ass weekend. My liver thanks you too. We are currently in a fight and not talking to each other. In a nutshell, your city probably doesn’t want me back anytime soon. The Cubs suffered their worst home shutout loss in 22 years on Saturday. Ummmm, you’re welcome? I stood in the baking sun behind the centerfield camera for pretty much all of it. That was a treat. Wasn’t a 1000 degrees or anything either. So from Harry Caray’s, to Murphy’s Bleachers, to Casey Moran’s, to a nice power nap, then back out to the Randolph Street festival, to pizza at Market, to the Blue Frog, to Butch McGuire’s, I’d say a lot of alcohol was consumed. Not to mention eating like a pig. Good times all around, it was great meeting everyone that I did, and I hope to do it again sometime.
If I’d thought I’d seen it all with this show, it didn’t officially happen til yesterday when the Canadian celebrity gossip website ZackTaylor.ca posted pictures from an event over the weekend in Toronto of Justin “Rated R” Rego and Snooki together looking awfully cuddly with each other. Oh lord. Could you imagine those two pro-creating? I swear, the baby would be born with orange skin and bad acting skills. What’s next? Kasey gonna hook up with Audrina? Maybe Ty Brown is gonna knock boots with Crystal Bowersox? Justin and Snooki? The world as we know it is coming to an end. Unreal. Maybe they should somehow incorporate Snooki into season two of the “Bachelor Pad” and make sure Justin is on it. They can have a 1-on-1 at the tanning bed then go fist pumping at a club. I might order that on Pay-Per-View.
I wanted to point out is that there’s another cruise happening next January with former “Bachelor” contestants. However, this one is being hosted by Reid Rosenthal and I’ve joined up with them to help let my readers know more about it. I still don’t know if I’ll be attending, but you can get a discount by booking the promo code “Reality Steve” at the time of your purchase. In addition, and one of the big reasons I decided to attach my name to this, is that every one of my readers that books using this promo code, the cruise will donate $20 to Emily’s Smile Boxes. All the details you need to know about the cruise are in the link provided below, but I can say that they just added Justin “Rated R” Rego to it as well. So ladies, go try stealing him away from Snooki! For all your information regarding the trip, click on this site:

You don’t have to pay all at once, and you can pay a deposit now and be eligible to win the rest of the cruise fare free. Check out the site, and since I know a ton of you ladies still think Reid is the greatest thing since sliced bread, well, now’s your chance to spend a few days with him.
Do I really need to give my thoughts on Jake and Vienna’s break up? Uhhhh, it’s not like anyone in America couldn’t see this coming. OK! Magazine broke the story late yesterday, a rep for Jake confirmed it, so it’s looking like it’s official. Look, for everyone that said they looked so in love at the ATFR show, and she supported him through DTWS every week, and all their twitters about how in love they were and she was buying her wedding dress soon, blah blah blah blah blah. On and on they went, and they didn’t even last six months. Less than a month ago, Jake’s crying on DTWS telling everyone he’s met his best friend, and now they’re done. The more these people shove it down my throat how in love they are, the more I don’t believe it and feel they are trying to convince themselves that they are. I say it every season: Until we see the final couple actually walk down the aisle is when I’ll believe they’re in love. Until then, I do not care about what appearances you’re doing, or where you’re vacationing, or anything going on in your life. Neither should anyone else. The funny thing about all this is, I’m much more inclined to believe the stuff coming out of Vienna’s camp as to why the break up happened than Jakes. The guy is a fraud. He was from the minute he returned to the show rat out Wes and the request of the producers. Anybody that can’t see this guy isn’t genuine is missing a few brain cells. The guy was out for attention from the get go. The same result would’ve happened if he chose Tenley. Has nothing to do with the girl and everything to do with him.
If anyone is shocked by this, you need your head checked. These people are living in a fantasy world on the show. When the real world kicks in, and the Hollywood lifestyle is over, they fail. Like clockwork. They’ve only had 2 out of 19 marriages for a reason. And if you think Jillian and Ed are getting married, you’ve got another thing coming. Amazing what you hear when you visit the city Jillian and Ed live in for a weekend, and I’ll just leave it at that. I said Jake and Vienna would never walk down the aisle back when I first told you he picked her. I don’t think I was going out on a limb there. The bottom line is, people close to the situation will tell you, Jake Pavelka agreed to be the “Bachelor” for one reason and one reason only: to be back on TV so it would get his acting career restarted. I heard it all season long from numerous sources. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. Good riddance Jake and Vienna. Now go away forever. Note: Ali’s season ended filming in beginning of May. Jake and Vienna just broke up. So no, Jake will not be making an appearance on Ali’s season unless he has the ability to time travel. Let’s see how many emails I get asking “You think Jake comes back to the show and asks Ali back?” even though I put it in bold…ha ha.
-As for the “Bachelor Pad”, I’m gonna come back tomorrow with a column for a few of my early thoughts based on the press release and the cast photos that were released. And yes, I am smiling at the fact that I released the full cast list a day before ABC made it official. Apparently they can’t beat me to anything this season. That’s too bad. No really, it is. I’m thoroughly enjoying this. They should be wrapping up filming soon, and by what was said in the press release, I definitely have a few thoughts on what we should expect to see. I’m glad that they are going to use the outside relationships some of these people have had/are having as storylines on the show. It’s basically gonna be exactly like the RW/RR Challenges. I mean, I’ve known for a while that Jesse Kovacs and Elizabeth Kitt have been screwing like rabbits ever since the Breckenridge reunion – among other things. So there’s no doubt they’ll be trying to play hide the pickle in the mansion. That’ll be entertaining. Funny how the same girl who wouldn’t let Jake even kiss her unless she was the final one has no problem giving it up to a guy in Colorado during a reunion. Hey. True love if you ask me. More on all this and the hooking up tomorrow. Onto last night…
-I tell you what. That was a pretty boring episode last night. Not a lot happened at all. Yet somehow I’ve got pages of notes in front of me. Go figure. When the episode started off, Ali was giving us a history lesson of Iceland telling us this was their first exploding volcano in 200 years. I’m sure she knew that from all the extensive research she did before arriving there. Well, either that or the producers handed her a piece of paper and said, “Read this”. Yes, I know that Ali was a 4.0 student at Clark College, but knowing when the last time some volcano got off in European country might be a little too nerdy even for Ali. Put it this way, I hope she didn’t already know that or my image of her will be blown. And I totally won’t want to make out with her anymore like I do right now. That’s gotta be disappointing for her to hear. Someone break that to her lightly. She’s going through a difficult time right now, you know, being alone and all. I’ll cuddle with her.
-Group date brings the guys out in parkas and gloves so they can write Ali a love poem outside in the freezing cold Iceland. They’ve one hour to write it, and best poem gets a 1-on-1 with Ali. Kasey figures since he’s the pimp daddy of all things rhyming and lovey dovey, this one’s like shooting fish in a barrel. Kasey: “I’m your man. I’m your guy. I’m your heart.” Hey, guess what? Kasey mentioned hearts again this week. Like 5,000 times. Guarding, protecting, eating, kicking, hitting, playing…all kinds of things he wants to do with them. When Kasey was a kid, and he played the game “Operation”, did he always go after the heart first so no one else could have it? On Valentine’s Day, does Kasey get bothered when other people give away the candy hearts and not just him? Does Kasey sleep on a heart shaped bed? Is Corey Hart his favorite singer from the 80’s? Was his favorite 80’s drama “Hart to Hart” or the “Newhart” show? Does he have the “Rocky IV” song “Hearts on Fire” in his ipod? Ummmm, Kasey likes all things hearts is what I’m getting at. And oh yeah, this poem contest proved my time tested theory when they were trying to get help from the local Icelandic people: Iceland hates Justin. They can spot a wannabe wrestler from miles away.
-Holy sh**! Chris N. is speaking and it’s in the first 10 minutes of the episode! AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! “I don’t have a lot of experience writing poems. A lot of pressure on this.” Wow. Riveting stuff, dude. I liked it better when you didn’t speak. Just those words put together consecutively in that sentence put my ass to sleep. Has anyone in this show’s history ever made it to the top 7 and had less coverage and less interesting things to say than that guy? Didn’t think so. And if I haven’t gotten enough “Kasey’s voice is weird. Is he deaf” emails already this season, now that Chris Lambton clowned him during his poem last night, I’m sure I’ll get more. Chris basically said he couldn’t understand a word Kasey said in his poem because his mouth was frozen and he was mumbling. Oh boy. Here come the masses to back up Chris. Good thing they did put the subtitles in though. Listening to him talk was giving me Sun and Jin flashbacks from “Lost”. Not that he was speaking Korean, but moreso that the cold and his fast talking made it seem like he had a bag of marbles in his mouth.
-I’m not gonna over all these poems because, well, it would take much too long and they all sucked anyway. Ummmm, especially Chris N.’s. Wow. Maybe there’s a reason we didn’t see the guy speak for five episodes. He’s got the personality of a broomstick and the charm of a cardboard box. Here was the first part of his poem. Chris N. “Ali, I believe we need to go out, heat up Iceland, and head out…” How about you do us a favor there Champ and stop talking. It’s hurting my head. I’m sure Chris is a great guy and his friends and family think he’s a great catch, but man, he seemed to fit on this show about as well as Tiger does with a black woman on his arm. Chris N. will go down in infamy as the guy who lasted the longest yet contributed nothing to the show. There are some people that come on this show and leave a lasting impression on your for years to come. Uhhhh, Chris N. was not one of those people. I’m sure even his family sat around watching the show asking, “Hey, who is that guy she keeps giving roses to? Chris, is that you? I mean, I thought you left us for a few weeks to be on the show, but I can’t tell.”
-So the poem contest came down to two people since the first seven guys sucked donkeys: Kirk and Frank. And these rocket scientists somehow didn’t learn anything from Roberto’s “Lion King” date where he actually looked at Ali and sang to her as opposed to staring out into space and singing. Kirk went before Frank, so he walked up to Ali, held her hand, told her something about her freckles and that made her all giddy. I think Frank lost because anything he did to her afterwards just seemed like he was copying Kirk. Well, minus the Wisconsin accent. Frank’s poem was funnier I thought, but well, Kirk is the in final four and hasn’t gotten any real 1-on-1 time so looks like it was his turn in the rotation to get one. We’re two episodes away from the final four. Probably wouldn’t make sense if Kirk didn’t have some 1-on-1 time by this point. Sorry, Frank. You’re sh** out of luck. Maybe next time. Hey, perhaps you and Nicole can invite Ali over some time? I’m sure Ali would be very receptive to that, especially after finding out you boarded a plane to Tahiti after already getting back together with her. Then again, the producers probably forced you to by giving you some B.S. about how it “had to be done”, or “if you don’t do this, then…”. They’re real good at stuff like that. Just ask any other contestant in the history of this show.
June 22nd, 2010 at 11:36 AM
Holy cow! You just keep helping out, and we love it! Thank you again for thinking of Emily. I called her at home, and she said “COOOOOOL”. She is very excited.
Loved your recount of your trip, and your fight with your liver
. I ended up turning the TV off again last night, I am bored out of my mind with this season. Oh, and Jack + Vienna…..big shocker there……not
June 22nd, 2010 at 11:47 AM
Ali can’t be that bright. She says “supposably” rather than “supposedly.” Ugh. Drives me nuts.
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:14 PM
I noticed that in Ali’s comments about Jake in E Online, she referred to the Bachelorette show as if it is still actually taking place in real time. Now, WHO does not know that the show is pre-recorded? I’m pretty sure that everybody who watches the show knows that, even if they don’t know how fakey it is.
Great synopsis, again… I think the Bachelor Pad show might be very humorous, also.
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Awesome recap Steve….I laughed out loud. Hilarious!
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:41 PM
when Kacey was reading his poem to Ali, I swear he was Charlie Brown’s teacher. wah wah wah… wah wah~~
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:42 PM
I too heard the “supposably”! Very common to mispronounce that word. So not all that bright after all.
Well folks if you are a dork and you go for a cross eyed bimbo, the outcome will always be the same! Please, please no more of those two fakes.
Wanna bet Bimbo is the 20th Bachelor Pad invitee. This loser is no ready to head back to her Florida home where daddy is waiting with open arms and maybe some other goodies for her.
Okay folks Roberto for new Bachelor…where I am sure the ladies will not only think him hot, but make him so every chance they get!
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:51 PM
Steve, you said something just like Kasey today!
You both said that “that’s me, I’m never going to change.” Except Kasey is guarding and protecting hearts, and you are being sarcastic. Either way, the not going to change part is the same!
June 22nd, 2010 at 1:07 PM
Hey Steve
Kasey was coughing on the Icelandic vodka they had in the ice cave!
June 22nd, 2010 at 1:17 PM
Your weekly commentary is the only thing that make this season worth watching. kudos to you!
June 22nd, 2010 at 1:26 PM
Oh Lord! That part about how much Kasey loves hearts…I almost pissed my pants!
June 22nd, 2010 at 1:47 PM
Very funny post!
Could it be that Ali really has some serious issues with relationships and let Roberto go because she didn’t feel worth it?
Just hearing her talk with Chris about how she doesn’t want to get hurt, blah, blah…
About Fake and Vienna, I was thinking their time was coming up, the typical 6 months or so like DeAnna and Jesse.
June 22nd, 2010 at 2:03 PM
Re: Jake and Vienna breakup – he got tired of trying to figure out which eye to look deeply into…
Another great recap… watching Kasey standing alone on the glacier as the helicopter flew away, I am so sorry but I was laughing, I must have been feeling particularly mean these last couple of days. But when you said the bit about him having a bag of marbles in his mouth – sorry but he always sounds like he has marbles in his mouth to me. I appreciated the subtitles last night. They needed them every week for Kasey!
June 22nd, 2010 at 2:23 PM
OMG that was soo funny! I laughed out loud throughout the whole article. Hysterical. My favorite line about Jake and Vienna: “Good riddance Jake and Vienna. Now go away forever.” lol that is classic. I feel the exact same way. If someone casts Jake in something on TV soon, I will do everything I can to avoid seeing his face on TV I don’t care if they choose to do a tell all episode of LOST with Jake as host, I won’t watch it. Geez. And Steve is right, women can’t and shouldn’t try to change men. Also, I think Steve’s reference to his image of Ali being blown if she knew Iceland’s history on her own was a take on Judd Nelson’s line in the Breakfast Club. Nicely delivered. This article was back to the basics and I loved it.
P.S. Ali sucks for not picking anyone and Roberto should be the next bachelor.
P.P.S. I don’t like all latin guys, I thought Juan on Jillian’s season was a total douchebag.
June 22nd, 2010 at 3:51 PM
Just read this online: “According to Us Magazine, Pavelka will be guest starring on the Lifetime show “Drop Dead Diva.”
Oh. My. Dear. God.
June 22nd, 2010 at 4:09 PM
Anyone else find that Kasey …reminds you(me) of Michelle from Jakes bachelor …Maybe they should hook up?
June 22nd, 2010 at 5:53 PM
Just an impression of mine that Frank is and was so unappealing: an unemployed nerd. Don’t know why he would be of interest to any woman. And Jake too. Don’t think Ali ever really was that interested in him as opposed to the celebrity of hoping to be chosen over the other women. The crying and pouting seemed artificially over the top and for the camera. Plus the ever present giggling and laughing of Ali this season was annoying at best. Sorry to be so negative but those are my impressions.
June 22nd, 2010 at 6:07 PM
Steve! I’ve figured out Kasey. When Frank and he were talking by the window and Kasey was spouting his usual nonsense he said one thing that made it all come into focus. “I can deal with the physcial pain, I like it, it’s the emotional pain blah blah…” I like physical pain? Think he wanted Ali to break out the whips and offer up some pain?? I can just see him at her feet “Yes Mistress, whatever you desire!” lol….
June 22nd, 2010 at 6:08 PM
On his way out Chris N said “I’m at a loss for words.” Really?! What a shocker. That was priceless.
June 22nd, 2010 at 6:41 PM
With all the women that post on this blog, I can’t believe one of you didn’t comment on that mess of a hair-don’t Ali had at the rose ceremony. I thought a bird was going to fly outta there…
June 22nd, 2010 at 6:53 PM
Steve…the only reason I watch this season is because I look forward to reading your commentary afterward. It is EXACTLY on point with my thoughts, except of course your (un)necessary boyish humor. Keep it up. I mock my friends who watch the show with such zeal and scare them that I’ll spoil it any minute (thanks to you) it’s great fun.
So, Ali is “supposably” really smart?! Yeah…next thing you know she’ll say irregardless and then I’ll just have to change the channel.
Everyone wants Roberto to be the next bachelor, but what’s so fascinating about him aside from his looks? Isn’t he an insurance agent? He looks like he’s here to have a good time… No serious vibes from his direction.
@Caroll…Frank is not that great. But he’s funny and outgoing and girls usually dig that. I can’t help but think he’s a 2 faced liar every time he speaks though. Thanks to the spoilers.
Does anyone know why she still has Steve–I mean Craig R. on the show? I get it…he’s funny…but she’s not the least bit attracted to him. Maybe because he’s a lawyer. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Does Chris L.’s voice remind anyone of Chris Griffin from Family Guy?
Poor Kirk, I wish she kept him.
Until next week!
June 22nd, 2010 at 7:47 PM
Jake and Vienna split??? THAT is a surprise. NEVER saw that one coming. You mean they were FAKE, but, but…ABC would NEVER lie! ^^
Okay, I hurt from laughing now.^^ Please wrangle an interview with Vienna. Her stepmom is raking Jake over the coals.
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:20 PM
What if …. Kasey and Tenley … Hmmm LOL!
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 PM
I will say I appreciated this blog. It was mostly back to your usually funny banter and not entirely made up of putting down the guys. I do find it funny that now you are actually comparing yourself to Craig instead of just trying to escape admitting you look like him for fear you were being compared to someone unattractive… and now that he was funny on last nights episode, you are able to joke about going on the road as twins. Niiiice!
So you said producers pick who stays on the show and who goes… If that’s true, why in the world would they have encouraged Chris N. to stay on the show for longer than the first episode?? He obviously said NOTHING at all worthwhile, controversial, humorous, nothing. When Ali had her one-on-one time for the first time ever with him right before she cut him, she’s asking him to tell her more about himself and he mentions he likes Mexican food? How basic can you get? Was that her first time talking to him EVER besides the hello when he came out of the limo on night one?? If producers have such a huge hand in manipulating who stays and goes on the show, why was he not encouraged to be cut long before?? She probably just knew who she didn’t want to continue on with and maybe kept him thinking that at some point she’d get to know him and maybe there’s be more there… but if producers have such a pull like you think, there were much more controversial people to keep on longer than Chris N. By the way… the Nordhorn comments were hilarious!! I think I’m going to incorporate that into my vocabulary from now on. So funny!
Ok a bone to pick with you. (I seem to always have at least one each week). You make a big deal to talk about how you don’t care about these people whatsoever. Well… you must! You count on the fact that they won’t work out. You hope and pray that they don’t so that it backs up the show being fake, and lets you carry on talking about it. You wouldn’t have this blog without that show… maybe another blog, but possibly not as popular as this one has proven to be. You have advertising on it now… you are probably making some money, getting some notoriety, you are becoming a little bit of a “somebody” because of this site… and this site only is because of the show. So you can’t say you don’t care what happens to these people, or don’t care at all. You care a lot!! You invest more time into watching, thinking about, taking notes about, blogging about this show than probably anyone else on earth. Even more so than your readers! So as much as you want to call the show out, it is a popular show and you are benefiting from it in a positive way… so at least give some credit to it once in a while. Think of Emily and her smile boxes… you’ve spread the word about that to a lot of people and benefited her. The show has helped you have an audience for that.
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:22 PM
isn’t this cruise just a way for the guys to bang as many fans as possible? i *am* one of those with a crush on reid, but come on…
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:29 PM
oh, and one thing about this show that has always really annoyed me is how the bachelor/ette talks as if they are the ones who plan the dates. how hard is it to to say “i am really excited to check out this place with so-and-so” instead of “i am really excited to show this place to so-and-so” ?? if the producers are telling them to say that, they need to stop, because it makes them look like a-holes. that is all.
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:48 PM
So with the Jake/Vienna thing, I want to know about the ring. Is is contracted as property of ABC? Do they have to give it back? I’m guessing they do.
June 22nd, 2010 at 10:14 PM
okay, piping up again, can’t help it. in defense of Frank, who i think is a bit more sensitive than the other guys (not necessarily a bad thing), i think after going through the nuttiness that is this show, he realized that his relationship with his ex was less…i don’t know…CRAZY, and decided to try again with her. chances are, they won’t last, if they had already split. i don’t really blame the guy though.
also, although i do NOT like Ali at all, she is not fat. she is a heck of a lot thinner than the average girl, though she does have a horrible case of knock-knees that make her ass look bigger than normal. i recently went back to school after 10 years, and lemme tell you, most chicks are FAT these days. mushroom tops everywhere. it’s repulsive.
June 22nd, 2010 at 10:36 PM
~Ahhhh..so now we know..Ali pulled a “Brad Womack” and chose nobody…can’t say I’m shocked by the news..I believe she has serious “committment issues”..was evident in The Bachelor and I still see it now..she made the comment that Kasey was “in love with the idea of love”..well..personally..I think Ali is the same way….~
~As for Jake & Vienna…NO surprise there either..just took a bit longer than most people thought…~
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:00 AM
Steve, there’s at least one person (me) who doesn’t think you look much like Craig. I can see why people are saying that, but it is a very slight resemblance in my opinion. Still, I agree with one of the posters above that it’s good you’re referring to it jokingly.
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:28 AM
sparkly… I couldn’t agree with you more!! every time the dates are about to happen and Ali (or other bachelor/bachelorette contestants), say something like, “What I have planned for you today…” or off camera they say, “I was really excited to surprise the guys with what I had planned today.” and then like you said… talk about it like they are showing them a place they own. It should really be said like, “I found out today that we’ll be going to… and I’m so excited to explore that with you!!” you never hear them talk about how cool it was from their perspective, it always comes across arrogant. I’d say that’s definitely a producer choice because every single picker would not say that season after season on their own.
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:09 PM
I am glad Jake and Vennia broke up. She was in it for money and he was in it for fame. Get rid of them both out of the news, hope they will disappear forever. I do feel sorry for Ali. I do hope she will find someone that will be in it for her and treat her like she needs to be treated. This show is really a JOKE as they are only in it for ratings and the more drama they can stir up the better. Viewers will get tired of the same things happening all the time. Wake up and do one season for real and pick out some decent people for them. Just like Melissa, they treated her awful in letting Jason break up with her and ask Molly back. What a jerk, I could not stand Molly either and the show did this for ratings. As far as Jillian and Ed thats a JOKE too. Come on put a good show on for a real true love story not the fake acting career people you are picking. Doing it for fame and fortune is getting boring.
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:31 PM
Steve – i’m gonna slap a grammar stick in your direction. Love the blog, but i just can’t let this go because not only do i hear/see it here, i heard it all over the last couple seasons.
“That story didn’t just all the sudden happen yesterday, it had a few days to build up. Her story in a nutshell (and you can read a portion of it on Starmagazine.com), is that Jake and her haven’t had sex for the last four months, the guy only is affectionate with her when the cameras are rolling, and she calls him a “fame whore.”
English is a kooky language, but please, for all that is good and righteous, it’s “all of a sudden”. And, it’s “Jake and she haven’t had sex…”. Jake has not had sex with monkeys and she has not had sex with monkeys”.
to the fat — what? craig is fat. ali must be heavily airbrushed through the abs, cause i’m not seeing this 15 lbs. put her up against tiny jillian and i can see that. sheesh – you sound like you live in LA.
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:37 PM
I hate to say it but you’re boring the hell out of me this season. Seriously. I keep coming back in the hopes that your blogs will get better but, nope…sorry. It’s also getting painfully obvious that you are in cahoots with ABC. Obviously they are not going to allow someone to “spoil” their entire season without some sort of a say. You provide them with viewers! Let’s face it, a lot of people have been reading your blogs, and people who would never have watched the show before are now watching it. ABC is clearly paying you. Oh, I’m sure you’ll write some blog at some point rambling on and on about how they are not (I know I’m not the first to bring this up), but obviously you would not be able to say anything b/c of their contracts and whatnot. You have plenty of people truly believing that you have some almighty inside, “source” so I truly do give you a lot of credit….hey, I would take their money too if I were you! Just keep it real, please (as “real” as you can, at least). You are going overboard bashing ABC….it comes across as very fake. You also need to stop bashing your e-mailers. Who cares if you get redundant questions? Just delete and move forward! We do not need a whole song and dance from you EVERY, SINGLE, TIME about how “annoying” it is. Who the hell cares? Get over it! Anyway, that’s my two cents. I will hand it to you, you have found yourself quite a niche in life so hey, keep on, keepin’ on I guess.

OH! I am in complete agreement with, “katethegreat” for a couple of reasons:
A) Your grammar is something else. Mistakes are fine, no biggie, we all make them however you say some pretty, uh….”fascinating” things (I use that word b/c I don’t want to be mean). You have a lot of nerve calling out some of these guys who, yes, say some pretty stupid stuff but SO DO YOU, my friend! Editing is good when you’re posting a blog that millions of people are going to read…give it a try!
B) What in the world is your beef with Craig?! You are not, “all that”, Steve. I hate to break it to you. You are not unattractive, however neither is Craig!!! As a female, I actually think he’s pretty cute! He seems to be intelligent, he’s funny, and his bod’s not so bad either. Seriously, get over yourself
Take a few deep breaths, and let your hatred for Craig go….no one wants to hear about it anymore.

See, Ali pulls a Brad by choosing no one AND Ali pulls a Pavelka. She is on this show again… to get a career.
Jake wanted to woo a female audience by proposing to SOMEBODY an audience he thinks he can take with him on what ever show he gets to be on.
Personally, he is one of the most insincere “sincere” people I have ever seen. And that kind of desperation is repulsive to me.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:43 PM
Couldn’t everyone see this coming, it’s obvious that Jake is the 20th contestant, convenient they just “happened” to announce their breakup! It’s all fixed, come on!
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:47 PM
Ali chose no one because she is just like Jake…she is a fame whore. She doesn’t want to get married, she wanted money. And she’s right that Roberto wouldn’t like her in real life, he’s too hot for her. I just don’t get why she wouldn’t just date one of them anyways. Ali couldn’t get guys that hot outside of this so what the heck…stupid

My general complaint is that they need to stop putting Bachelor finalists to be the Bachelorette and vice versa for the men. Find a really attractive, interesting, dynamic unknown female to be the next Bachelorette. Seriously, Jen was the last good one. Meredith was forgettable, Jillian so-so, and Ali seems nice, but whiny. I just don’t see the appeal, although I concede she’s very fit and toned in the TV episodes.
On Jake—I saw a preview on Inside Edition of his Drop Dead Diva cameo and it was awful. If this guy is hoping to act, he better stop that dream right now.
On Jake and Vienna–Vienna has her flaws, but Jake is a jerk. I’m team Vienna on this one.
On this season’s bachelors–Honestly, Kasey and the weatherman have been the most entertaining. I guess we’ll get Rated R and Frank scenarios to entertain us going forward.
Last but not least–As a die hard Cubs fan, please Steve, stay away from Wrigley for the rest of your life.

@sweetness34, I agree with everything you said in the post above. Including the last part! Smiley face and all…
June 24th, 2010 at 2:09 PM
I just wanted to say, and maybe I am way off on this, but I am not surprised that Ali doesn’t pick anyone. I know you made the comment in one of your posts that you are waiting for all the questions asking why Frank is spewing all this stuff if he doesn’t feel it; your answer is because it’s fake. Also in other posts you made the comment that the producers were the slimeballs on this one, as Frank wanted out, and they pushed him forward. From all the clips I’ve seen so far, Ali likes Frank more than most of them. Yes, she spends time with Roberto and she laughs / talks with Chris L and Kirk, but who does she always pull aside and try to force his head back in the game. Maybe she is being instructed by producers, but I don’t know on this one. She gets the feeling like he isn’t always there (obviously we know why — gf #1), but she desperately wants him to be there. I am almost willing to bet that it will come out at some point that he would have been her choice, he broke her heart with the gf thing and she didn’t want the others. Left with only them to pick from after Frank takes himself out; she chose none. Like I said, I could be way wrong, but it’s just how I see it.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:58 PM
Isn’t Elizabeth Kitt the one who wouldn’t kiss Jake?
June 24th, 2010 at 5:25 PM
Maybe after Ali chose Roberto, he decided not to ask her to marry him. You never know!!!
June 24th, 2010 at 6:04 PM
“This couldn’t have gone any worse for him if he tried. He just Nordhorn’ed all over himself. What a Nordhorn. On scale of 1 to Nordhorn, I’d give him a Nordhorn for that performance.”
I laughed so freaking hard at that part of your post. I am going to go around and call all my friends “nordhorns”. If this doesn’t go viral, imma shoot myself.
June 25th, 2010 at 10:02 AM
Oh my my so enjoying the trash talking Vienna is doing about Jake and their union! She is paying him back big time. Sort of blowing everything out of the water as to his motives and desires for an acting career. She feels used and abused.
Sorry Vienna…not gonna get any sympathy from this end! Both of you are losers and will remain so. Hoping you both crash and burn and we never have to hear anything more about your lives.
June 25th, 2010 at 4:25 PM
I guess I misunderstood Steve. What a bummer of an ending if Ali doesn’t choose either Roberto or Chris. It is, however, up to the chosen bachelor to ask the bachelorette. Oh well, there is always the next Bachelor series.
June 26th, 2010 at 10:28 AM
I am not sure why people insist that Ali do not choose anyone at all.
Okay, that was a blow that Frank/Fleiss decided to tell her that he was still in love with her g/f. I understand that she was upset because obviously this is not the first time that she is rejected and she feels that she cannot be loved etc
I understand that for her, F1 F2 F3 even F4… she felt at least something for them, if not love, at least she had crushes on them.
So yes it is okay that she cried and be upset.
Now………. WHERE is this coming from that Frank was the F1 all along AND on top of that she decided to not choose ChrisL and Roberto?????
Do we have proof on that? Facts?
Single today… okay… plausible… I will not go against Steve sources since he is 100% sure that she is single-single… single like free to date anyone.
I still have my doubts on this.
But what makes me irks is that Frank was F1. I understand that the producers knew that Frank would leave before the end and they had to throw us Roberto so public will not yell at them. Yes indeed the producers must keep a certain level of drama but not too much because they do not want alien the public right?
But it is not because ali cried (and WHO would not at that point cry and be upset?) that Frank was the one. It does not make sense to me.
Of course I do not know for sure, but this smell fishy that Frank was the one. If I look the body language in iceland, ali is attracted but she is not over him like someone falling in love. She said already that she had ups and downs with Frank since the beginning.
So I wish I knew who told Steve that she is single today. Are they her best friends? Are those from the crew? I mean to be that 100% sure, those people must be extremely closed to ali to be that sure uh?
I am okay that she did not choose either and remained true to herself. I hope that both were not falling for her.
I remember this texan lawer, the F3, who fell so hard for the bitch MEanna. It was paintfull to watch even if I am sure he is now sooooo very releaved that he did not ended F1!
I only hope that justin and frank will not get what they came for and now they are in their holes somewhere thinking that was the worse move in their life. HA!
June 26th, 2010 at 6:00 PM
oh BTW… I totally agree with above comment saying that producers should think to find NEW people and not take the F2 all the time… this is now becoming sooooooooooo very boring!!!!!!!
Please do not find someone as fake as the prince as well ploueeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!
Why not changing the format for a change and find true people. I cannot believe that in all the states in the us, the producers cannot find interesting, genuine, fun, good looking people no???
I mean what a wonderful f***ing miracle it would be to have:
1. nobody having to deal with a grief
2. nobody being a fetish
3. nobody looking for fame
4. nobody having emotional problems
5. nobody being an alcoolic
6. nobody having a boyfriend/girlfriend in the closet
7. nobody having leaving in la la la land
8. nobody being a drama king/queen
9. nobody having commitment issues
10. people looking for long last love outside hollywood
wait…. wait… this could the 10 first Bachelor(ette) new commandments!!!!!! YEP!
June 27th, 2010 at 6:44 AM
I read yesterday that Fleiss filmed Frank/Nicole BEFORE Frank told Ali about his G/F… that Fleiss knew all along BEFORE the fantasy dates.
soweee Steve did not pay attention of what you said here.
If I looked closely the body language Ali did not know and was left in the dark.
My hope is that the next bachelor(ette) will understand fully how far Fleiss is willing to take advantage of dramas to make his show successfull.
I cannot believe that people are THAT naive, uh?
I also saw a couple of videos of Ali, done after the show. She keeps saying that she is at peace with her decision. She does not feel confortable when she says that. Is she thinking that she will be treated like Brad when he refused to pick a girl?
Ali seems very much into hollywood system right now. I guess a new MEali is born (vs MEanna).
June 27th, 2010 at 5:42 PM
If Ali picks no one she literally wasted not only an entire season of the bachelorette but also the hottest guy bachelorette has ever had! Let’s all hope Roberto is the next bachelor so this season is not a complete waste of time!!
June 28th, 2010 at 5:15 PM
Ali is shellshocked!!! First Justin “Rated R” humiliates her, then Frank, I mean what girl would be able to trust another guy on that show after this???!!!
June 29th, 2010 at 9:18 PM
I counted Ty saying “thank you” to Ali at least 5 times last night. Yeah, I know that was editing, but it sure made the guy look like a pussy.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:34 PM
Is it possible that Frank comes back to Ali at the “After the Final Rose” ceremony? I mean, he really seems like such an honest guy. Watching him, especially in the beginning, I really believed he was into her. It’s really hard to picture him lying to her about falling for her. He could have at least toned it down if so.
Is it possible The Bachelor is trying to do something different by having them get together at the ceremony? well…I guess it would be more of the same…coming back because they “made a mistake”… But still, they were the cutest and you could see that she genuinely liked him, more than the other guys, in my opinion. Is it possible? Or has the ceremony already been filmed?
June 29th, 2010 at 9:43 PM
Steve, could you tell your source that all the BS is actually turning AWAY viewers. After hearing the news, I lost all interest in the rest of the season. I’m not sure I’m even interested in the the next season of The Bachelor.
If they could get rid of the scripted lines and the choppy dialogue/screwy editing(real obvious they cut out certain words/actions/scenes and piece them together) the show could be great. I don’t want the excess drama. I’m just interested in watching and picking out two people falling in love. I want real clips and real lines.
I’m not sure why The Bachelor hasn’t begun airing on VH1, right after Flavor of Love…
July 1st, 2010 at 2:39 PM
I just have a point to make….has anyone checked out this new girl that claims she was with Jake while he was with Vienna? Her online portfolio almost leads me to believe that she is this friend of Vienna’s because she’s from Florida, apparently born and raised. I don’t know. I don’t like Jake, but I don’t like Vienna. I think they both only want fame and fortune and that’s the whole reason they are doing all of this stuff. How many other contestants on the Bachelor(ette) have actually had this much publicity over their break up other than the whole Mesnick scandle? Really, this stuff happens all the time. They broke up. So what, but it’s crazy how they are just attacking one another. Get over it folks! Go your different ways. If you want fame, go get it. They aint hurting me none and if I don’t wanna watch them, I know how to turn the dang television off.
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:23 PM
I am stunned at that Jake is being called gay now.
Ok. He might have towed the corporate line by throwing Wes under a bus and being a goof ball on DWTS, but what on earth?
Jake was one of the few bachelors who demonstrated standards and restraint. He was not ready to “use” /exploit women and demonstated a high level of respect. The fact that he did not use women — a reality show contestant he hardly knew — is more a t ribute to his character, than to gayness.
Why can’t a man act like a gentleman without being accused of being gay? He probably wants to save himself for marriage and to give himself to only one woman. His personal discipline should be applauded not scorned.
