Jillian the Hot Dog Girl
Jillian the Hot Dog Lady who keeps saying that it’s important to know what a man puts on his pork.
 

This week, I watched the 2-hour second episode of  The Bachelor on ABC.  There was a pool party followed by single dates and a group date.  Jillian’s date to the Disney Hall in LA was a bit barfy for me, because there is just something about that girl that I just can’t fully trust or relax about.  He also took Melissa out on a beach date that was followed by a ride on the GoodYear Blimp.  I like Melissa, actually and enjoyed watching their date.   There was a group date with shopping, dresses and another pool party.  Nothing really had me bouncing out of my seat on this date.  However, Raquel the Brazilian Stalker woman hid in Jason’s limo for when he came out of the house to get some one-on-one time with him.  I think she scared the pa-jeemers out of him.

Of course, major drama ensues on Elimination Night when Molly steals Jason away from a gal who didn’t have a date, nor a rose.  As Molly already had a rose and, hence, not any real urgency to have to “steal him away,” the women take issue and sides on the matter.  It was all pretty stupid.  The interesting thing was watching Erica scowl and make nasty faces with her boobies falling out of her dress and having to be camouflaged by the editor.  That dress definitely did not work.  So, we have the rose ceremony and he lets two gals go (including the Brazilian stalker chick) and Lisa left on her own due to cancer in the family.    Thank goodness, he kept Stephanie, whose daughter’s birthday is going to be on the next episode and we get to see Jason surprise her with her daughter on the beach (awww).  I really think that Stephanie is my favorite at the moment…

Who I don’t really care for, in addition to Hot Dog Jillian:
Nikki with her boobies always hanging out

Erica:  They must have photo-shopped the heck out of this photo

Lauren: Yes, we all know how special you are... and that you need to be told that Jason is into you

Shannon: Can we learn anything else about you other than you memorized his MySpace page?

 After The Bachelor is a show called True Beauty produced by Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks.  It has these so-called “beautiful people” competing for America’s Greatest Beauty.  What, in the end, they are supposedly being judged on is whether their inner beauty matches their outer beauty.   You didn’t miss much if you missed this week’s episode.  Bill the GNC guy made protein shakes and won the challenge.  The strange blonde, Chelsae is still in the running… and apparently steals jeans from her roommate.  And, the blondie who brought “$40 thousand dollars worth of clothes” to the event was voted of for being “ugly on the inside.”  CJ, the beautiful black man with perfect DNA, was shoeless, however survived elimination.  He seems to be changing and being sweeter on the inside.  We’ll see.

The Spineless and Their Moms

The other Monday Night Madness show that I like is NBC’s Momma’s Boys produced by Ryan Seacrest.  The helicopter moms are still making complete fools of themselves.  Robb and Camilla get close.  Robb’s mother, the prejudice Jewish mother, basically gives Robb the order to dump Camilla.  Thank God that Robb has himself some huevos and stays true to his heart.  Mom cries… oh, how could he fodder with an African American girl?  Really!  Shut up!

But, she’s not the only prejudice mother, JoJo’s mom is still a complete idiot and cries the entire episode because “no woman will be good enough for my JoJo.”  First, maybe we should change his name so that it sounds more manly.  Anyhow, JoJo chooses his gal, who is just sweeter than pie, but wore the wrong dress for the date episode.  She kept having to pull it up because her boobies were falling out.  But, JoJo loves her and I like her too… don’t give in to Monster Godzilla Mother, JoJo. 

Michael is by-far the biggest idiot on the show.  He finally dumps Playboy bunny after having the most freaky make-out session on the beach ever filmed.  She looks like Tara Reed, and needs to fix her hair.  Anyway, he sticks with the two reasonable choices and bases his dump of the sand bunny on his mother (WIMP).  What they both don’t know is that the top choice is the Penthouse Pet of the Year and she’s going to share her secret only after Michael falls for her.  Whatever.   Reep what you sow.

Superstars of Dance is a “skipper,” folks… unless you love love love dancing.  Then, watch it for the dancing.  Michael Flattley is so uber-obsessed with the fancy scoreboard that it’s annoying as hell.  Also, the South African judge is just some kind of snooty weirdo.  I like the Chinese judge!   But, Mr. Flattley just can’t get enough of the IRISH… surprise surprise.
 
Biggest Loser-Couples started this week.  It’s DVR’d and I haven’t gotten around to it.  I missed the last season and am not sure if I will end up watching this one.
 
 American Idol also started this weeks with auditions.  This is, by far, the best part of the season.  After this part, I don’t watch it again… religiously…  but, do keep up with the contestants.  The bikini contestant has made plenty of headlines for the show this week, so we don’t need to advertise her anymore.  But, there are a few gals and guys that I really like, especially the guy who just lost his wife 4 weeks prior to taping.  Poor guy. 
 
The Office is on tonight, folks!  It’s the show down between Dwight and Andy over their lady love, Angela.  Yippee!  We’ve also got Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice on tonight.  Love Love Love Private Practice.
 
Desperate Housewives is chugging along on Sunday Nights, however seemingly barely.  I’ve kept up with the story line but it just doesn’t have the same “umph” that it used to have.  I liked last week’s episode where Edie and Susan are locked in a basement.  They spend the day/night dissecting Susan’s love life and constant requirement to be with a man.  I’ve given up on Brothers and Sisters.  
 
Big Love is on next week, folks!  All I can say is THANK GOD!  I love love love this HBO show about polygamy.  If you haven’t seen it, rent the series on DVD.
 
I’m off to watch my DVR episodes.  If you have any show suggestions for review, please feel free to leave me a comment below.

    World’s biggest Office fan here!!! We spend 3 weeks a year in Scranton, PA visiting family, which is why I first got interested in the show. It’s my favorite.

    I also watch American Idol and Biggest Loser, although they are on at the same time. In this house A-I wins.
