Watching Sitcoms

The Bachelor actually surprised me Monday night. Although I am glad that Jason finally came to his senses and let Stephanie go home. Not that I didn’t like her, she seems like a lovely woman. She was very gracious when she left, too, not crying and whining and swearing and threatening like some of them do. Maybe she can be the next Bachelorette. She already has that great sob story. (Her husband died in a plane crash when her baby was just a few weeks old. In case you somehow managed to miss that.)

But, face it, there was just no chemistry between Stephanie and Jason. Even I could tell that and I’m not known for being perceptive about things that don’t smack me upside the head with a two by four.

I can’t say I’m happy about the people he did keep, though, if it comes to that. My mom likes Melissa. I don’t hate her, but she’s just a little too perky and cheerleader-like for me. Molly has kinda scary buggy eyes. Of course, that’s just being personal and critical, cause she’s probably very nice. But I just think her eyes say she’s pushy and used to getting her own way.

As for the other two, I agree with everyone else that Naomi is too young. She is not ready to be the mom of a little boy. Especially a little boy who comes across as a bit spoiled. (Granted, maybe he was just over tired and missed his dad, but shouldn’t a 4 year old have been fast asleep by 8 pm and, therefore, unable to upset his father’s date plans?) I thought Naomi proved that when she talked about being all alone with Jason and said that’s how it would be forever. No, sorry, it won’t be that way, cause there’s a little boy involved. And I have news for you, when Jason has to make a decision between Ty and you, guess who’s going to win?

The last one . . . wait, who is it again. No, really, I can’t even remember who the other person is. Oh, right, Jillian. I like her. But I think her Canadian accent would get on my nerves after a while. Eh? She’s cute but not that cute and I just don’t know if she’s really all that into him. Maybe that’s just what they want us to see.

Oh, the highlight of the entire episode for me was seeing the Sleepless in Seattle house, which I actually recognized and yelled out, look, its the Sleepless in Seattle house, just moments before Molly mentioned it. Anyway, I hear there is a big surprise in store for the dramatic ending, so stay tuned.
