Was there really much suspense once again to the last 30 minutes of the show? William leaving shouldn’t have been a surprise considering he barely appeared in any of the episodes, and we all knew Melissa was a sitting duck the minute Blake took Holly on the date and gave her the rose. Of course, despite everyone in the house having nothing good to say about Melissa the night of elimination and people calling her crazy (outside of Michelle), all is good Bachelor Pad land and basically every person took up for her on Twitter last night. Trying to understand these people and their actions is a lost cause. As I’ve stated, there’s two different shows going on here: what you see on TV, and what you see on Twitter. What happened on TV happened two months ago. What’s happening on Twitter is everyone’s thoughts now after they’ve had time to reflect and see how they acted and come to defend themselves. Or just retweet all the fans that take their side of things.
So next week, we get to see the “Nearly-Wed” game with everyone hating on Blake again, plus Erica sticking to the theory that “if first you don’t succeed, try and try again” as she gets a 1-on-1 date with Blake and tries to seduce him with her lips again. Which are of course well maintained from the injections she gets every 6 months. And why did Blake get a 1-on-1 with Erica? Because they came in 2nd place to Michelle and Graham in the Nearly-Wed game challenge, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever other than another way for the producers to get people off the show so they could have the final 4 couples they wanted on there. Can’t the game show police take a second look at what was REALLY happening behind the scenes on this show? I mean my God, could it have been more obvious? Every rule change, twist, etc favored the power couples. Every. Single. One. How was this even legal in a game show with a 250k cash prize? Oh well. As long as Graham and Michelle win (or one of them if they decide to give it to one person), it’s all good.

“In case you didn’t know, women are emotional creatures. Some moreso than others.”
This could actually be funny considering you are talking about Melissa – except that it is so chauvinistic; I want to throw up.
You think calling women emotional creatures is chauvinistic? Grow up and stop trying to find a reason to hate on Steve!
“This could actually be funny considering you are talking about Melissa – except that it is so chauvinistic; I want to throw up.”
if sksksk is a female, which i think its safe to assume so, then you have just proven his statement.
“if sksksk is a female, which i think its safe to assume so, then you have just proven his statement.”
Well, I don’t think Steve was that sexist. But this sure is!
Sksksk,
Get back in the kitchen.
I am surprised. Maybe I did not read well. I saw Steve actually protecting and excusing/explaining Melissa. Keep in mind that we do not really know what happened and if he promised her a date (which is silly and childlish that she asked, unless he asked her) than imagine her shock. Melissa is obviously affected by cabin fever and she also does not seem to understand that Blake’s behavour does not reflect on her. She also seems to be short with people and not getting that she is. I am glad she is off the show as she was severely deteriorating, courtesy of Blake. I think being two faced in any kind of relationship even if it is a showmance as Omarosa coined it, you are the best off not talking from both sides of your mouth. Right Blake? It seems that no amount of brushing helps to clean the dirt. In any case, I think Holly and Blake are just meant for each other. And Michael, you as Melissa also need some get-in-touch-with-who-you-are. I can see that he has feelings for Holly but no matter what happened, he should fall in love with himself first. And you Melissa. Also, it is amazing how clueless these people are. Erica thinks she is the smartest in the house? Ha ha ha
Although I can’t stand to watch Nancy Grace’s show, I am kinda looking forward to seeing her on DWTS. And I think she might be paired with Maks, despite what RS says. The only reason she might not is because he usually gets the younger ones… but Kirstie Alley may have changed the trend. He often gets somebody with a feisty personality, and NG really fits that bill.
So disappointed Steve didn’t bring up all the girls gagging over Kasey’s bad breath! Crap…couldn’t Vienna have told him to borrow Blake’s Oral B??? That was HYSTERICAL.
MJA..I’m thinking Maks is going to get paired with Elisabetta….
Not one word about how much of a raging a-hole Kasey has turned into? I’m disappointed in you, Steve. You should have said something. Or at least something about Vienna’s god awful dark-ringed bug eyes.
Kasey having bad breath was awesome. How embarrassing — of course Vienna knew it was him! She’s used to kissing a toad.
Exactly! When I was watching, I said to myself…”I can’t wait to see what RS has to say about Kasey’s bad breath.” And then I get done reading and I’m like…Daaaayyyyaaammmm! Nothing! I was hoping for some Kaka Kasey breath…or Vienna Sausage-butt mouth! Come on, Steve! Get off vacation already!
Right on about Ella and whats-his-name…especially her ugly leggings that showed the uber-ugly vagina v…not as bad as camel toe, but come on. I disagree on her story story, though…I totally love her now…leggings and all…She can get a stylist with the money!
Erica’s the creepy one! Yeah, she is playing the game, but damn…she has been dubbed the ugliest one for all of America to see (regardless of tweets) and now she is acting like the ugliest one….by being a total slut! You kinda get the idea that she likes being a total slut way more than the money aspect. Just saying!
I don’t care who wins…but I hope the final couple doesn’t get to keep the money. I want all the other contestants to get the money, except one. The only one I don’t want to have any money is Kasey…him and his made up grandma story. Someone kick his ass please! And then make him dangle a cheap friendship ring to his granny while she begs it’s not an engagement ring and sing a lame love song while bleeding from his acute beat down!
Steve can’t comment on Kasey’s breath because he is absolutely hung up on Holly. Not sure what happened between those two but obviously still eating at him… Sorry about it and sure Blake won’t be the last either.
Melissa is unattractive…if I were her I’d be wondering if someone like Blake really liked me…so obviously she is also dumb. Blake was stupid for even hooking up with her after the first night. That girl is crazy. I mean why is she acting pissed at Blake…really she should just be upset that he doesn’t really like her…that’s all she wants is for him to like her but she tries to act pissed at him as if that’s gonna make him like her…she’s so dumb. The minute she even suspected he might not really like her she should’ve just backed off and gave him space. No wonder she is still single.
I am sick of Ella using her son to score pity points. This is not a charity, a soup kitchen, or the Make-a-Wish Foundation. It’s the freakin’ Bachelor Pad! It’s a competition.
I’m sure everyone on this show can use the money. Everyone has bills and debts. If they don’t have kids yet, they will probably have kids in the future. Ella pretends like her kid will be starving and destitute if she doesn’t win a damn gameshow. She is living in the wealthiest society in the history of the world. She has a job, a roof over her head, and food on the table. She enjoys a standard of living that people in previous ages and other parts of the world could scarcely imagine.
Play the game the way it’s meant to be played: with strategy, cunning, and manipulation driven by selfish greed. This is America. No one cares about your stupid kid and your stupid problems.
Maks will be paired with Hope Solo, because he did an interview before the World Cup was even over begging her to come on DTWS and be his partner.
Maks and Hope Solo! Love it! Perfect! And…so happy that Derek H is back!!!
Maks is awesome! That’s who’d I’d want to be paired with if I went on that show. I loved his back and forth banter w/ Kirstie Alley last season. I remember him begging for Hope Solo to come onto DWTS, so I’m thinking that’s who he’ll be paired with as well. I’m looking forward to the season b/c I love the professional dancers; I’m not thrilled with their stars cast this year, but we’ll see what happens!
Well, it will be interesting to see who is paired with whom on DWTX. I’m pretty sure that Derek will not be paired with Nancy Grace (and maybe Maks won’t, either, despite what I wrote above). Derek almost always is paired with somebody who has an excellent chance of winning. I actually wish he would be paired with a more difficult to teach person this time. He is an excellent dancer and choreographer, and seems to have some teaching skills. I’d like to see him have a difficult person… even if they eventually get eliminated, it’s always heartening to watch somebody learn, and really improve.
Maybe Tony will get Nancy Grace… which will be too bad. I really like Tony and wish they would more often pair him with somebody who has a chance to win.
Oh, and Steve: I know you’re a huge “Survivor” fan, but that you don’t watch “The Amazing Race”. The Amazing Race is my favorite reality show (although I really enjoyed Expedition Impossible this summer as it’s a cross between Amazing Race and Survivor). This season, one team are two former winners of Survivor: Survivor: Africa champ Ethan Zohn and Survivor: The Amazon victor Jenna Morasca. Just thought I’d let you know!
Whoops… DWTX = DWTS
Last season’s cast had a lot of people who I’d never heard of, or had only heard their names and didn’t know who they really were. I think Kirstie Alley and Ralph Macchio were the only ones I was really familiar with, with a few others whose names I recognized. So I took a break last season. This season, I’m very familiar with 7 of them, and a couple of others I know their names and generally who they are. So, I’ll watch this time! I’ve only skipped two seasons of this show… for whatever reason, I really enjoy it.
mommyof2, I also love The Amazing Race and it is my favorite of the reality competition shows. (Although, I have really gotten into So You Think You Can Dance for the past few years… it’s probably a tie for my favorite.)
DWTS cast and pro pairings now up at EW.com! Here’s the list of the pairings:
DWTS’: FULL LIST OF SEASON 13 COUPLES, RANKED IN ORDER OF INTRIGUE
12. Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas
11. Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus
10. Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke
9. Chynna Phillips and Tony Dovolani
8. Elisabetta Canalis and Val Chmerkovskiy
7. JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff
6. Ron Artest and Peta Murgatroyd
5. Ricki Lake and Derek Hough
4. David Arquette and Kym Johnson
3. Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer
2. Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
1. Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya
AWesome that Maks’ brother is competing this year and he’s partnered with Elisabetta while Maks is partnered with Hope. Love that derek Hough is back and is actually paired with someone who is not a knock-out model or something! And, Steve was right that Mark Ballas is paired with Kristin C. Davis A. and Kym is a good pairing, too! This will be a good season! They did a great job with the pairings, as usual!
Thanks, mommyof2! I had just seen they had announced the pairings and was going to look for the list.
And I am glad that Derek is paired with Ricki Lake. That should be interesting!
There are some dancers on there who are new to me… Tristan MacManus and Peta Murgatroyd. I like when they have new dancers once in a while. And Chaz with Lacey should also be interesting.
mja- I just LOVE The Amazing Race! I told my husband that it’s the only reality show I’d ever consider going on, but we probably wouldn’t do it b/c we’d get too frustrated w/ each other on national TV and embarrass ourselves! But, the experience and everything you get to see and do together is just amazing, not to mention the chance at winning a million dollar prize! I watched Expedition Impossible this summer and LOVED it! The competition was actually much, much more difficult than the Amazing Race- much more grueling- yet the prize was only $150K for winning. IT was a great show, though.
Okay, this is my last post until next week, but I have to lay it out there that I just read Chris Harrison’s BP2 blog on EW.com, and he mentioned that Waldo… or William was voted off this week. I mentioned in my post last week that William has barely gotten any screen time and reminds me of Where’s Waldo? Funny that Chris Harrison thought the same thing… or, could he be reading RS’s blogs and the comments section? Hmmm….
Did anyone else notice what Erica was using as massage oil for Blake? Normally the show goes to all kinds of extremes to blur or tape over brands, but this one the ABC cameras missed. I rewound the scene a couple of times just to be sure. The fact I recognized the product is a little embarrassing, but there is no missing Erica’s love oil to be ….KY JELLY!
Guess Erica had other plans for the evening than just massage!
Mommyof2 I love reading your posts every week so post away to your hearts content!!
And too funnny brighty pants lol!!
I think the Kasey bad breath thing was done on purpose and hyped up for TV. They all claimed he had bad breath, yet all of them gave him a very quick closed mouth peck (not even a kiss, but a peck) and then had the most God-awful expressions. The expressions and comments don’t fit the action, hence it was probably producer persuasion that made them all do/say that.
No one seems to have commented, that I can tell, about just how “fake” this thing is. I mean fake to the point that Erica has done nothing but try to keep everyone else on the show except Kasey and Vienna, yet we’re supposed to believe that next week they give their roses to the two people she’s been trying to get out since day one?
If this show wasn’t manipulated at all, seems they would’ve given their roses to Ella and Kirk. If they did that, then one of the true power couples would be gone and that’s not the way this story was written. I think Steve even said it…the show is manipulating the outcome of this “game” so blatantly, to me it’s sickening…all the last minute twists and what not, to make sure that the people they want gone are really gone. It couldn’t be any more obvious then having Erica and Blake, who came in second, give out roses to two other people. And those two people just happen to be the supposed couple who’s running the house. It’s so fake, that I don’t even believe that whoever was voted out or voted best kisser or whatever was the actual winner or loser, but rather picked by producers to fit their story line.
I can’t even get started on Melissa. No, Blake is no angel and should’ve been up front with her from the beginning, but he was playing a game. This last episode, I actually felt sorry for him. For being in her 30s, she is a complete and utter train wreck. Ya, maybe she got a bad edit, but fact is at some point during those scenes, she acted that way. There’s no denying it. She acted like a complete and utter disaster of a woman. I was embarrassed for her! I would expect that from a 20-something year old or teenager. NOT from a woman in her 30s that should have life experience with men in her past. I don’t care what he promised her, she should’ve had her guard up ESPECIALLY after seeing him canoodling with Holly and being attached at Holly’s hip, like she pointed out in almost every episode thus far. The way she acted was like someone would react after being married or in a long-term relationship…NOT after a week or two with a guy. Pathetic!!!!
Steve, women can be emotional, but there are some of us who know much, much, MUCH better than to ever act that way, especially in front of a man.
Re: DWTS – I like the Chaz/Lacey pairing.
So, last week we had a synchronized swimming fake “contest” that was completely stupid. This week we have a “kissing contest” that is utterly gross and disgusting. What is ABC thinking? The only decent contest in this show has been the couples hanging contest. C’mon ABC, how about some creativity!
I have re-named Dancing with the Stars as Dancing with the Unknowns. They used to get actual A-list stars on this show, but now, really, who has heard of most of these people? And who cares? I watch the show because I love to see the pro dancers. If I do watch this season, I probably won’t vote.
I heard a rumor Snooki of Jersey Shore was going to be on DWTS. This current cast stinks. Only compelling thing about the upcoming season is whether Maksim will get into Hope Solo’s pants.
If everyone on Bachelor Pad is not going to go all out on contests like the kising contest, may as well not even air a show. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last season of Bachelor Pad. The novelty has worn off and it is a sh**t show.
I am not sure how it is possible, but Casey is a bigger creep than Jake. In the fake little world of the pad he fancies himself as Machiavellian. One of the oddest dynamics was in the beginning Vienna berating him, and now the tables have turned and he what I would consider emotionally abusive towards her. Sadly she seems drawn to these types but she is no prize herself.
also to add to the manipulation. Did anyone notice the voice over at the end of the show done my Michelle? My lord she was practically narrating. She had her sage assessment of Melissa’s downfall and then what sounded like a script. WOW. Obviously they are setting her up for a win, even though Casey said his grandmother will die if he does not win- OMG why aren’t more people talking about that? Will whatever issue she is having be resolved by $250,000? Doubt it. If it is a major medical thing, 250,000 does not pay for anything, plus if she is disabled or elderly she will have medicaid or medicare. It is sick that he would manipulate like this. His poor granny. I hope she does not watch her evil little troll grandson on TV

Ummm how is it chauvinistic? Coming from a female pathophysiologist, allow me to inform you that it’s a physiological fact.
Thank you, kimone!
All I have to say is that Kasey is the biggest dork I have ever seen. I want him to get voted off so bad.
A few others have already commented on this, but I do find it interesting that Steve has hardly mentioned the way Kasey has acted throughout BP2 so far.
IMO, Kasey is the one that is acting like he is “above” everyone else in the house….even starting this off by calling himself “The Godfather”. Then, instead of hammering on Kasey for singing YET ANOTHER SONG, he just simply provides the lyrics, and goes back to talking shit about Jake. Just like everyone else, I was looking for a few funny comments from Steve about Kasey’s “bad breath”, and was hoping for him to unleash a paragraph about Kasey throwing out the “if I don’t win, my grandmother will die” comment….yet nothing?!?!
Come on Steve…it feels like you are purposely avoiding any negative comments regarding his actions. Step up to the plate and knock one out of the park for christs sakes!!! He can’t be setting it up any easier for you, man!!!!
Going into this season Steve said that he thought Kasey would come out of Bachelor Pad looking better than on The Bachelorette like Wes, but I don’t see anything likable about him. He has this look on his face like he needs to have his ass kicked. He just looks and acts like a punk and he and Vienna are immature together and she is nothing but cry baby drama. She acts like as if Jake is a rapist or abuser being afraid for her life. It’s a joke. She’s such an attention whore. They both need to go away.
I can’t believe no one has brought up Melissa stirring the yogurt! INSANE.
Melissa = Yogurt Stirring Maniac! I thought she was going to stab the spoon through the bottom of the container. I don’t feel sorry for her one bit. They can’t edit someone to look that nuts.
