Did you catch VH1's Bachelor Marathon last night (Sunday)? They played the whole first season! Man, I forgot what a slimey dork Alex was (yes, I've been watching this show since the first show of the first season). But there were some other funny things I had forgotten about... 1.) they called them "invitation nights" instead of "rose ceremonies." 2.) Chris only informed Alex of the # of roses left. He said, "Alex, this is your final rose." Nothing about the ladies. Maybe that whole thing got started bc Alex was a bad counter. Then someone told Chris that maybe some of the girls were bad at math too and that's how the whole "Bachelor, Ladies, this is the final rose tonight" thing got started. 3.) The women left Alex video diary messages for him to view in the deliberation room before each "invitation night." 4.) Chris Harrison looked so young! Not that he looks old now but he just looked so different then. 5.) Trista wasn't anyoying and she was blond. Seems there was other funny stuff too but I can't think of it now. Anyway, I hope they continue these little Bach Marathons with the rest of the seasons. Check it out! Hey Steve! Did you catch VH1’s Bachelor Marathon last night (Sunday)?

During the first episode, he made a West Side Story reference, which my husband says no straight man would do. Then Ryan was picking a fight with Twilley, which just confirmed for me that a) Ryan is a closet case and b) he has a problem with Twilley because Twilley's gayness threatens him. But I actually think that maybe Twilley is bisexual, probably because he reminds me of an ex who "wasn't gay" but did practically stalk some of my male friends and kept on trying to get them to go hot tubbing with him. (FYI - I'm not dissing on anyone for being gay. I love gay men. But closeted men kind of creep me out. Man up and come out already!) Twilley also has "the jaw" (aka "coke jaw" or "heroin jaw"), which explains his erratic behavior. The popped-collar chef doesn’t set off my gaydar, but Twilley does.

"Especially Paul the nudist. He’s kinda creepy. And he’s Canadian. That’s never a good combo." By the way, I thought Canadian and Minnesotan accents were the same. I do eat moose but I don't speak the dialect. Too bad Greg Brady got the boot this week, I was so happy to see that he finally found work after being typecast for so long. I think Roseanne Barr even flinched at that anthem. Did anyone else notice they were hitting from the mound to the shallow outfield. Isn't that like a...single??? Deanna's flicker only happens when she is nervous or is into a guy. Her eyelid movement could have powered a small city when she was being dumped by Brad. Ryan had some pentup sexual frustration this episode. He was picking fights with everyone. He almost threw in a frick, a heck and a chuck you into the heated conversations. Great job Steve and happy bday. Absolutely classic line Steve. “Especially Paul the nudist. He’s kinda creepy. And he’s Canadian.

Two hours (really? Two hours?) of snoozefest. Men couldn't create drama if they were told how and fed the lines to start a fight (as I suspect is happening with this show). Also thought Twilley was going home--to me, if I'd come home from a date with a guy and another guy popped out of the bushes desperate to talk to me, that would be a dealbreaker. Gotta love Jason, though, for trying to throw T under the bus. Sean--one word--gross. His suit needed some serious attention from the old Queer Eye guys. I actually thought Richard was kind of cute, making that paper rose for her. But that's just me. I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought Paul was feeding D a bunch of BS. And can I say that he looks JUST like Aaron from the second season of the Bachelor? D's date with Graham WAS boring, and he didn't seem that into her, to be truthful. But maybe that's going to change. Who knows. Who cares. Yeah, I noticed Robert's popped collar, too. And the shirt was pink, to boot. I predict he's going home in the next round. Jesse--Gotta love how he dressed up for the RC. As in, not at all. (For the record, his shirt said, "Hi, my name is Jesse." I'm surprised you didn't comment on it). Go smoke another bong, J. And maybe get a haircut while you're at it. Is it just me, or are the producers really playing up the Jason-single-father thing for sympathy votes? I'm surprised there hasn't been a Sleepless in Seattle reference yet. The push-up contest at the RC was LAME! Agree with you on the final four: of those, Brian will go home first, then Richard, then Jeremy, leaving Graham as the last one. Good luck to D. But I just know that along the way she's going to have some doubts about Graham a la "is he too much like Brad?" One thing I did love was D's dress at the RC--though she needed an actual bra or some sticking tape for, well, you know. PS--Happy birthday! And if you and I lived in the same city, I definitely want to date you. At least you know already that I watch some of thesame TV shows as you! (haha).

However, I am shocked!!! You are JUST now noticing Deanna's compulsive blinking? I am fairly certain that this is the reason Brad dumped her. He simply couldn't face another minute of her horrendous facial tic. And believe me, its appearance has been mild this season. It was probably in her contract that they edit it out along with the clause that she won't be seen in her bathing suit without a coverup except for the 5 second clip in the season preview where she is carefully posed and holding her breath.

I have been reading your blog about The Bachelor forever. Only one problem with the recap though, it took me as long to read it as it did to watch the show!! LOL I fell asleep during the show, but not reading your recap!! Thanks for bringing to the forefront DeAnna's eyelid seizures!! I remember them from Brad's season, and they STILL drive me crazy!! I'm assuming you haven't noticed how she starts ever sentence with "honestly" yet. Sometimes men aren't as observant as women. But we don't hold that against you!! :) Happy Birthday!! AWESOME recap Steve!! I have been reading your blog about The Bachelor forever.
