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.

Episode Review: I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Episode 3

See my reviews for episode 1 and episode 2.

“Spotted by the ‘Paparazzi'”

The episode starts in the suite but at least “Harry” doesn’t walk in on an undressed girl this time.

I was right about my hate for Jacqueline. She thinks that judging people constantly makes a girl a mean girl. Girl, hold the phone, because your constant judgement of Meghan makes you a mean girl by your own definition. Thumbs down.

Meghan keeps her thumbs up because she owns her judging. And I love the term “Tacky Jackie”.

Kimberly seems nice. Her date is cute. She might actually have gone for him if he hadn’t lied to her. But she seems like she might have trust issues and he isn’t giving her any reason to trust him. The “pap” guy is a nice touch for the ruse though.

Poor Kelley has to spend the day with Jackie and Maggie. But I am once again impressed with Matt for choosing to spend time with them. He says he knows they haven’t really made on impression on him yet and he didn’t think it was fair to send one of them home just because he didn’t give them a chance. But he does take the chance to throw out a few choice lies. He takes his shirt off. Cue the 2nd time we hear that he is pasty. What did they expect from a British ginger? Continue reading

Episode Review: I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Episode 2

See the review for episode 1.

I know this is a week late. I just really didn’t feel like watching it.

“Competing for the Crown”

We see some upcoming clips and he cries at least once which is exciting. A bunch of girls are shown and I can’t remember a single one of their names. This should be a quality review y’all.

They all sit around being the best sort of catty about the first impression girl getting some alone time with “Harry”.  A lot of them are older than he is.

I’m kind of impressed with how coy the fake “Harry” is. He gives non-answers to questions like a pro. “Do you ride in helicopters a lot?” “Now and again.” As in right now and yesterday and maybe tomorrow. He has a devious side to him that we see as he plots to get them to guess who he is supposed to be without ever actually saying anything directly. He “trips up” and has “emergencies”. Rose, on the other hand, thinks she is being so subtle but she is about as good at subterfuge as I am at holding my tongue when I have an opinion. She is an idiot and does exactly what he hopes she will by spreading gossip. Continue reading

Episode Review: Bachelorette, Season Andi, Episode 4

See my review for episode 1, episode 2, and episode 3.

Part 2 of the drama. Let’s go to exotic Connecticut.

First 1-on-1: It’s Dylan. Do you guys call B.S. when the guy or girl who gets the date says that the activity is “awesome” when it is just a lame train? But my goodness…he does something we don’t hear a lot of. HE ASKED ANDI ABOUT STUFF like HER longest relationship. He did a good job carrying the conversation. HOLY…He is 26. He looks old. Have you noticed how many younger guys are on this season.

Folks, I was determined to be unimpressed by him and while I don’t see the chemistry I can’t help but regret my initial judgement.

Group Date: There is absolutely no way this is going to go horribly wrong. JJ wears a button up because…? And his shirt actually says “Jj” but I will cut him some slack because apparently he does clothing for a living. Andi wears some high-heeled sneakers that I kind of really want.

Is anyone surprised that the coach is naturally allowed to take over his team “Rosebuds” or that the personal trainer is into this competition? And “Five of Hearts” is obviously not supposed to be the natural shoo-in for winning. It’s Pants, Farmer, and Tasos for goodness sakes. And this isn’t an underdog story. Luckily a lot of her favorites are in that group. At least they get beer.

Marquel talks trash about cereal for some reason and now I really want Honey Comb, and Captain Crunch, and Lucky Charms, and Reese Puffs, and diabetes. Continue reading
