The Bachelorette
ABC’s Bachelorette is engaged to Roberto-San Diego will be their new address
Ali and Roberto-no longer in hiding
Ali even states to Chris, “He loves me so much,” with such pride it almost broke the cameras. The question is, does Ali just like being adored, or is there really true love behind her eyes, too? Only time will tell.
As a San Diego resident, it was shocking to hear that they were moving here to reside in this city. I guess you can’t blame the would be displaced couple. With Ali leaving Facebook and Roberto still aiming for the pros in baseball, San Diego has just what they are looking for: a drive accessible to Los Angeles for their many celebrity appearances in the next six months.
There are even rumors now that they will be one of the dancing couples on Dancing with the Stars, which will be announce on ABC’s newest reality show, Bachelor Pad on the fourth episode. Will Roberto with his salsa moves make the perfect dance partner for Ali? We will have wait and see…
With a quick recap of last night’s show, the most touching moment of the two hour finale was not watching Ali accept her proposal to Roberto . No. The scene that won over this San Diego resident’s heart was the rainbow that appeared right after Chris L got the boot from Ali. With good intentions at heart, Ali rambled off, “I’m in love with another man.” She then explained to him that she did not want him to go the rose ceremony, because she cares so much about his feelings. Then Ali exited the hut as fast as she could. Of course, she did need one more hug just so she could run off and fluff her dress for her big proposal.
As jilted Chris was left alone to understand how it was possible he would be unlucky in love…Then he looked up and saw the most perfect rainbow stretched out across the emerald green waters of Bora Bora. “It was a sign from my mom that everything would be okay,” (His mother had recently died).
That touching scene stole the thunder right out of Ali’s “I do.” Let’s just hope that Chris considers finding love as ABC’s next Bachelor, that is if he accepts an offer.
He might be just a touch too classy to reveal anymore of his soul to reality television. However, if he does, ABC can count on some big ratings from Chris L..

ABC’s The Bachelorette, Spoiler Alert- Ali is definitely engaged!~Guess Who!
Ali is Engaged to Roberto!
The best news for the viewers is Ali does choose someone in tonight’s finale. Ali won’t be leaving Bora Bora alone, and Frank will be regretting his decision for a very long time.
AFTR ceremony should prove interesting with all of the leaked information wrong this season. Fans will be waiting with baited breath to see Ali finally ‘happy with her man’.
On a side note, do you remember that episode where Ali tells Chris Harrison regarding the whole Frank debacle on the sand, and Chris seemed surprised by the whole mess? Unless ABC chose to keep the host in the dark, just know that most reality contestants are sequestered and cannot leave the show unless given permission.
It’s obvious that ABC knew in advance about Frank’s ‘would be girlfriend’ and used this as a rating ploy toward the end. Luckily for them, Ali kept handing him the final rose.
Will where Ali live? Will they actually get married? Maybe we shall all find out tonight on the “AFTR” final ceremony.

Jillian and Ed Split/The Bachelorette
Jillan with that Ed, that has obviously been paid off by the producers
I just heard about this split today. The way I found out honestly is because last week my website received a lot of traffic and I kept trying to figure out what it could be since I don’t really write here that much for reality shows. Well, soon found out that Jillian and Ed broke up. I had written quite a bit on Jillian’s season of the Bachelorette…so I guess it’s still listed on Google. That’s not what’s important. What I wanted to say to others out there is, how sad I was to find out the news. I really like those two as a couple. From the first impression rose, to Ed’s departure to go back to work, to his returning, I really liked their personalities.We are always quick to condemn reality stars and to make fun of their break-ups, but why would anyone do that? Like Jake and Vienna for instance. I dislike Jake’s personality, however, I feel for him as a person and I’m sure he will be just fine.
Jillian and Ed have been together over one year, so their relationship did stand the test of time, with relocations to Chicago, and all of that behind the scene gossip with Ed in the beginning. I’m sure each will plunge back into their own identies and make it just fine.
However, as a viewer of that one special season, I find myself feeling like an ‘era has ended’ in reality t.v. somehow with the demise of this couple. Classy and sophisticated, these two looked like a match and I kept waiting for the wedding on ABC. Call me a sap, call me what you want, but I really thought Jillian was top noch, and next to Ed they sort of rocked it as a ‘hot couple.’
Now there are these stories about her having to return the ring. If it’s not bad enough they must endure a public split, people are making fun of that part of the equation, too. I’m not sticking up for reality t.v. I am however asking those viewers that sit there so ardently and judge as a view to remember they are just normal couple with feelings, too. Good luck to both parties. If I had to choose a side (I haven’t really dug into why the broke up, but my imagination can pretty much fill in the details), but of course, it would be Jillian Harris. The best bachelorette I’ve seen ever on ABC. Good luck Jillian. Machel Penn Shull
Jake/Vienna Split-ABC’s The Bachelor
Okay, I didn’t think I would cover any more reality TV., but last Monday night’s episode with the Jake/Vienna split was the funniest thing I’ve seen on television in years. I’m on team ‘Vienna’ here. I thought Jake came off as this absolutely pompous jerk, with absolutely no sensitivity whatsoever. When he started to describe “It’s been quite a week…I’m on the cover of 5 magazines this week,” well we can just get the visual of Jake running to the supermarket as much as he can to see his big mug plastered everywhere.
My favorite line from Jake was when he started recounting how he had ‘measured the furniture perfectly’. Now we know why Jillian Harris booted this guy off early in her round of the Bachelorette. It still astonishes me that he beat out Kiptyn for the last Bachelor. I sat there on my bed laughing hysterically at how Jake thought he was so calm and collected, when really he just looked like a ‘mean snake’ (Midwest expression). I actually felt empathy for Vienna. I could tell that she genuinely loved this guy. She thought she had found Mr. Right and he ended up being a Dancing wannabe. I don’t blame Vienna one bit for taking her story to the media. Jake has been ruling the roost with their relationship and we all know what other rumors are about him, but I don’t want to mention them here.

Jason and Molly Engaged
- Jason and Molly engaged
It’s official: Molly and Jason are engaged. Yes, the couple that everyone loves to detest, the couple that received so much bad press as Melissa Rycroft danced her way into America’s heart, have finally arrived where they left the bubbles in the bath tub in New Zealand this October.
ABC’s Next Bachelor could be a reason to watch CSI Miami
- Watch out ABC’s Bachelor
As rumors fly regarding the next ABC’s Bachelor, that leaves room to still wonder….Who was that pilot again? CBS Miami will definitely be your better option if they choose Jake over Kiptyn…Maybe this is more of a slant from a columnist perspective, and I’m just going to be brutally honest:
If Jake-the-pilot is the next bachelor, I may have to boycott writing about my favorite
television show. Click here to read about his name change and his
”wanna be acting days”. Yes, Kiptyn Locke is obviously my favorite. I am, after all,
from that same neighboring town. How unfortunate if ABC got suckered in by
the man that cried over the balcony in Texas. Oh, and the biggest snitch since
“On the Waterfront” starring Marlon Brando. Don’t you remember the killing of the pigeons? That’s what the next ABC’s Bachelor will feel like for us viewers if we have to stomach the wrong man with the roses.
Well, I’m afraid to be the first one to state th obvious, but there is a reason Jake was kicked off
the Bachelor by Jillian Harris. Not because he’s perfect, but maybe because he came across as someone that acted as if he was a ‘cut above the rest’. I don’t like arrogant attitudes or men that think they are better than other guys because their shirt is more perfectly pressed at the seams. It’s also inappropriate to throw someone under the bus, so to speak like he did with Wes Hayden on The Bachelorette.
Let’s just hope that next week’s “Dancing with the Stars” reveals that Kiptyn Locke is being named ABC’s Next Bachelor, sending Jake back to his cockpit in Dallas, Texas.
Sorry, Jake, but this blond prefers real men that don’t sell out others to look like a winner. Wes Hayden eliminated himself in the end.
Those are just my two cents on this whole Bachelor thing. Looks like CSI Miami will have my vote for sure on Monday night. Thank goodness for excellent television programing on CBS. Unless Kiptyn Locke comes up with the final rose…lets hope so San Diego.

The Bachelorette Finale cast Party photos!
The Bachelorette Party Finale
What can I say? Sometimes life smiles down upon you and you are granted something special…like sharing the BEHIND THE SCENES of the exclusive Bachelorette Finale Party for the cast of the show. I have to thank Juan (one of my favorites from the beginning for sharing his photos with me on my website!
Juan and Ed together again
Let me just say as I am writing this and downloading photos, how upset were you the ATFR show was not on last night? I hate to even admit that I care that much, but I do. Let’s discuss Kiptyn Locke for a quick sec. I am convinced now more than ever he was only ‘half into it’. He didn’t look that devastated to me. He didn’t even propose. I can’t imagine him ever getting down on one knee and proposing. Some guys are just perpetual bachelors. Also, Reid Rosenthal??
Reid and Jillian together again...just friends though, I think~
I loved it when Reid came back for Jillian. I was so touched by his proposal. I don’t know about you, but I was thrilled to see TWO PROPOSALS. Everyone was predicting zilch, but Jillian go, two! A dream for any girl. Jillian Harris just rocked as the Bachelorette. I haven’t mentioned it, but I will now, one of my friends from Rancho Santa Fe, Julien Hug was one of the contestants. He was featured as the guy jumping out of the plane on the beginning promos. He made it on two of the episodes. Also, Jessee, from Carmel Valley was another favorite of mine. I thought he would be a good catch for some beauty out there.
Two of my favorites! Reid and Jessee
I feel now that the show is over, that there is really no big revelation on ATFR. That was just all hype by ABC to keep us watching two nights in a row.
JESSEE, JUAN AND JULIAN, ALL J"s!!
I don’t know about you, but there were almost too many J’ beginning names to keep everyone straight. Kiptyn was the easiest name to remember besides, Jillian.
Jillan still loves Juan! Awe, check out that diamond!
So tell me what you think? Were you happy about the ending? I was, even though I originally predicted Reid. Ed and Jillian seem pretty happy. I hope that’s the same on the final show.
Juan and ed
Thanks again Juan for sharing your photos!! Just loved the show and thrilled to see a somewhat happy ending. Don’t worry about Reid. I’m sure he’s been snatched up in his hometown already.

Reality Steve and his sick attraction to Wes Hayden
After recently reading Reality Steve’s take on TMTA, which he failed to even recap appropriately, I am sickened by all of his salutations to Wes Hayden and for condemning ABC. Let me fill you in on a secret Reality Steve: It’s ABC’s show and they can do whatever they want. Wes Hayden was merely a pon in their ploy to win big ratings by exploiting idiots that sign up for these shows. No offense to anyone, I signed up, too (Who wants to Marry my Dad 2).
Let’s just set the record straight. Why would ABC have Wes come back to eploit more of his stupid “Love don’t come easy Cd’s” that are only going to be popular in Mexico? ABC got enough out of Wes and it was the only really compelling story going on as a threadline from beginning to the end. And, don’t slam my Miss Jillian. If Jillian does not end up married at the end of this show, this does not deem her a failure as society would so like women to believe they are nothing without men and a ring on their finger. Let’s not forget, she is the chooser and she can do whatever she wants. SHE REJECTS THEM IN THE END.
Stop bragging about hanging out with the biggest guy loser I’ve ever seen aired on national t.v. And, why be pissed off with ABC for rejecting insolent Wes in front of the cameras, finally!? Maybe ABC felt used by that dopehead, too.
Anyway, I was saddened to see that one of my favorite Reality bloggers didn’t even recap the show properly.
Too bad you got sideswiped by a loser that’s just a wannabe cowboy.

“The Men Tell All,” The Bachlorette, July 20th,2009 (Plus the Winner!)
REID ROSENTHAL, Machel Penn predicts is the ultimate winner of Jillian Harris’s heart. After watching “The Men Tell All,” the absence of Reid and the wonderful absence of Wes “the loser” Hayden, I can tell you as a viewer and from my sources that Reid Rosenthal is the one that walks away with Jillian on the last episode of The Bachelorette. The obvious? Ed and Kiptyn are players and luckily Reid has the courage (Or ABC paid him enough) to come back for the final show.
I just have one question though? At what point did Mike Fleiss figure out to pull these switcharoo antics? How smart is he? As the viewer we think we are being treated fairly to–Here is your rose, you’ve got it and you are safe type thing–when really these rules no longer apply on The Bachelorette or The Bachelor. After Molly and Jason have taken center stage once again, you wonder at what point Jillian will still allow them to keep stealing her thunder? No offense, Jillie, I’m one of your biggest fans. However, at a certain point, a star must protect their show. Ask me I know. Tea Leoni kicked me off of her show once (Flying Blind) in the early 90′s and I’ve never forgotten it. Now you might think, I would’ve been terribly upset by her shannigans. No. Quite the opposite. I admired her ability to notice the threat of the ‘upstaging on her own show’. Not that I would ever do that, I was a ‘Under Five” at the time and you have to be in the business to understand that kind of language…So let me make my point. I just hope that Jillian Harris has found her star power and realizes she IS center stage and Molly and Jason have long been forgotten. Sorry, happy couple. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles on airtime in Hollywood.
And, may I just add….Thank God that loser Wes wasn’t there. Is pigheaded approach to realism regarding ‘having Jillian wrapped around his pinky’ made me want to vomit. Grow up, or stay in Texas. And, having a number one hit in MEXICO is nothing to brag about, at least not where I come from down in the good ol’ Ozarks. Yes, that’s where I grew up and I don’t even think Wes Hayden is a real cowboy. GOAT ROAPER is the slang for blokes like him. Laurel, run for your life and Jillian keep rinsing your mouth out with some minty listerine. What a pig.
Thank God, ABC did not let his presence back in front of their cameras.
So let’s recap TMTA. They didn’t. They were boring and Jillian looked stunning. I even think that Chris has a sweet crush on her. I am just somewhat inspired because it appears as if Reid grows some huevos, Kiptyn still seems placid and Ed has that “Jack in the Box” look that makes you want to slap him. Go back to your big job and stop bs-ing the poor girl.
Let me know what you think? Do you agree with my prediction? Isn’t it quite obvious with the absence of Reid Rosenthal??
Go Jillian, Go home Molly and Jason and let’s just hope Canada is celebrating their new found Superstar that’s garnered them a few minutes of fame here in the USA!
