Episode Review: I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Episode 6

The “Royal” Treatment

Feel free to refresh and browse my reviews for episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The day starts will hell. Whistles, people screaming, A.M. hours. I wouldn’t forgive him pretending just for this. Meghan is lucky and gets to miss this. Tacky Jackie starts the day off right by being incapable of tuning to her right. Their shirts and helmets say their names and I still can’t remember who that one girl is. (Later on I see that it is Kimberly.) She says she wants to win so she doesn’t get lost in the shuffle but I think we are way past that. I have something in common with Rose, I also have the upper body strength of a cat. And for that I give her a thumbs up. Kelley…is still super annoying but she was just so good at the challenge. She is “real”. And so I give her a begrudging thumbs up.

Meghan gets to go to brunch with Sir and heads over in her pjs. At least she puts a wrapper on to kind of cover her ample endowment. Sir, on the other hand, is fully dressed. Meghan gets a thumbs up for saying, “If I was offered a husband and a Chanel bag I would not want to do boot camp.” But I think she would be outtie as soon as she found out who he really was. She says she thought their date would be more extravagant than brunch in his rooms and a friendly day of tennis but that it is okay because he is “Harry”. Their little evening set-up was gorgeous. I love fun tree lighting. Continue reading →

Episode Review: I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Episode 5

A Pageant for a Prince

See my reviews for episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Well, the Colombia v. Greece game has just ended so I am going to squeeze in a review. Remember folks, this show is now cancelled which means we get to see all the episodes right away. I will try to post reviews for them all as quickly as the World Cup will allow.

Some (most) people criticizing this show mention the fact that Matt looks way less like the actual Prince Harry than the show pretends he does. I think I mentioned this in my review for episode 1 but to firmly address this criticism, that is why they choose ditsy pretty girls from America. Onto my color commentary.

We open with Sir still insisting he is in this because at the end he seriously thinks that the girl he chooses could totally be okay with the lies and deceit and be willing to date and fall in love. Not only does he think a relationship built on nothing but lies can hold up there is also the issue of distance. Moving to England for a prince is one thing. The prince actually has money. Matt is not that well off. I predict that the girl will try the relationship partly because of feelings but mostly because she doesn’t want to look like the most shallow bimbo on TV.

Tragedy Strikes I Wanna Marry “Harry”

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is with a heavy heart that I report that this staple of your and my terrible-but-oh-so-delectable guilty pleasure diet has been cancelled. Apparently, this show did not resonate with the general public and had very low ratings. It might have had something to do with the fact that I’m too lazy to adjust my schedule to watch any show on the television (I get the basic networks on my VHS/DVD combo TV) when I could just watch it on Hulu the next day. (Spoilers don’t faze me.)

Luckily for you, the last 4 episodes were released today on Hulu and I have a subscription. You can expect a quality review of each remaining episode from me in the next few days. The episodes are the ideal length for watching between the games.

I guess now we are just stuck with a dating show that claims they can make true and lasting love two times a year.

Episode Review: I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Episode 4

My “Brother” William

Read my reviews of episodes 1, 2, and 3.

Karina gets to eat breakfast with Sir (I’m going to use Sir more frequently because “Harry” and Matt and Fake all have more letters) and she manages to be fully clothed with hair and make-up. She prods well. “Tell me one thing about yourself that you haven’t told the other girls.” A close-up on her face shows that she has expertly covered up pimples. I feel a little better about myself now. Of course Karina goes right back and tells all the other girls. But it seems that she doesn’t get an extravagant lunch date with Sir.

Chelsea and Drunk Maggie get to go horseback riding with Sir and the rest have to muck out the stables. Chelsea brings up race. She is the only black girl. She asks him if he has ever dated a black girl and he says no but it isn’t like color comes into it. We acknowledged and dismissed that.

Most of the girls don’t take to mucking really well. But Kelley does it well with the mentality, if he wants me to then I will prove I am down to earth. They joke that they hope Maggie stays sober enough to stay on her horse. A comment to take note of: “It’s like she thinks there is going to be an engagement ring at the end of this.” At least some of the girls aren’t romantic fools. Continue reading →

Episode Review: Bachelorette, Season Andi, Recap

“The Journey So Far” is not even worth watching if you remotely paid attention to the previous episodes.

Feel free to look back at my reviews for episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4 instead. Yes, it does seem like we decided to skip 5. Read my review for episode 5 here now.

So, for some reason we have only seen 4 episodes and apparently we need a recap. We get to see the guys leave the limo. Does anyone really believe that the limo broke down so conveniently for Cody? It’s basically a cut down version of the episodes all over again. To weigh in on the Chris B. issue again, he is a player and a cad an a professional contestant who was likable on Emily’s season and plans to milk the little fan support he has left for every penny he can.

I will say I’m not mad to see the stripping again but the singing was even worse than I remember.

Guys she has kissed: Chris the farmer, JJ of the pants, Marcus, First Impression Rose Nick, Josh recently from Atlanta, Brian

I have decided that Andi’s listening face is really unfortunate. She juts out her bottom lip and narrows her eyes. But I really think she is listening and cares.

We get to see the unaired rose ceremony from episode 4 which makes me happy. Nick wins bonus points with his line, “If you wanna let it out I’ll listen.” Chris complains that he wanted to be the guy to get her but he wasn’t so he should deal with his failure to act. Guys get madeat Nick for doing it and I’m like, he did it first so deal with it. He was deserving of that moment with her because he did it instead of sitting around. There are 25 guys trying to win her heart so yes Nick was being kind of selfish by taking the opportunity but he is allowed to be. At the end, Andi isn’t going to appreciate the guy who wanted to come find her. It’s like the guy in the friend zone that complains that the girl never gives him the chance even though he hasn’t made a move. Annoying.

The moment of truth for Tasos comes. He gets a lot of hugs from the guys. Their parting was nice. Andi says she likes him so much as a person and she doesn’t want to lead him on. Tasos wipes a few tears away, says some nice things, and leaves.

We are going to the south of France next episode which Patrick and Andrew seem to really dig. Speaking of Andrew, we don’t see a single shred of that drama that was played with in the recap. They dangle some Andrew cussing scenes in front of us on the sneak peak at next week which could mean they are rewarding us for our patience, especially with this nothing episode. Or maybe we are just going to pretend nothing ever happened. And speaking of Patrick, HANDS OFF HE IS MINE! Although, I think he might kiss her next week and I might just hate her now.

See y’all next week hopefully.
