Yes! We have a bachelor that knows how to handle a football like a man. That excites me about the prospects of the season. You pat it with a smooth cupped hand (yes, I’m talking football here) and not a stiff staccato and then you twirl it like you’re tossing a quick pitch. Take notes, Mr. Jake Pavelka.
Ashley H gets the first one-on-one. She IS cute. Going first sometimes results in some possessiveness, so we’ll see if it plays out that way. She’s very expressive with her hands and enunciates like she wants to show off her teeth, which is understandable. Photo booths at carnivals are so clean and romantic! The Brad calls Ashley the “entire package.” Huh, that’s weird. Guys usually reserve those words for themselves. He must really like her! The way she says “perfect” really bugs me. Anyone else agree? The “per” is fine, and then she does some “fay-uct” thing. Stop it! I really liked her questions on “redemption” and “obligated to pick someone.” She won points there. They had some serious face sucking time. Do you think she moves her tongue around searching for gingivitis?
Michelle has really good hair for a hairstylist. Not a lot of mega-contrast skunk stripes or extreme lopsidedness I’ve come to expect. (My apologies to anyone who prefers those looks.) Melissa has been preparing for 8 years for this; is going to bring it; she always brings it; even when it’s already been brought’en! (It comes across as self-centered, needy, and desperate. Buh-bye) They put on PSAs for the American Red Cross. I think they edited out the line where the Red Cross lady said “with the group we have today, and for the safety of the community, we are taking our blood-testing/screening process to levels we have never previously thought were needed. I hope you’re proud!”
The Brad showed great range as an actor being a slightly dimwitted heartthrob with multiple women throwing themselves at him; predicting Oscar buzz. I still can’t get over the fact that we have (had) a “manscaper” on the show; that’s so awesome.
Britt is too cute! (Sorry, cute is the word of the day.) Sweet and “prudy” (her word) and funny and shy; I hope that doesn’t add up to No Chance with all the aggressiveness up in here. And then … D*mn! Wow! You go girl!
Michelle is a Randy Moss. Here’s why: a lot of assets are noticeable early on, looks great at the combine, and demands / attracts early attention. However, the act wears thin. Eventually, you’ve used up all of your good will. When your skills erode, you end up without a contract and without friends. OK, this example may be a bit excessive, but just treat people nicer and be a team player. Be a Stan Musial (known for modesty and sportsmanship) instead. Then, you will be loved and an All-Star for life!
So Jackie gets the “Pretty Woman experience.” Do girls want to be told that on dates? Does that mean the Brad gets the Richard Gere treatment? Is he supposed to leave a tip, or was the fee all-inclusive?
Jackie did not date in college. The Brad was dumbfounded! She could have told him she grew up as a boy and I don’t think he would have been as surprised. What? Dude, that’s kind of common actually. There are pluses and minuses to people with rather empty pasts. It’s legitimate to be concerned with their expectations being too high, their conversational / compromising skills to be rusty, and the time it takes them to “be themselves” to be longer, but that can also be totally outweighed by their knowledge and acceptance of self (as opposed to being defined by whom they are with), along with the value they place on getting into a relationship with their whole heart.
There are those that I think will “win,” and those I “want” to see stick around because I like them. Feel free to disagree, but here’s my want list! 1) Britt (don’t scare me like that, the Brad!) 2) Emily 3) Ashley S 4) Jackie 5) Shawntel 6) Ashley H 7) Lisa 8) Kimberly 9) Alli 10) Lindsay 11) Madison 12) Sarah 13) Marissa 14) Meghan 15) Stacey 16) Chantal 17) Melissa
An entertaining week 2 – looking forward to next week!
