It’s hometown date time. In other words, this is the episode during which I mute the television the most (if you don't recall, I mute the television when I'm weirded out). I hate it. But I love it so much. Okay, I’m a little emotional right now seeing as I was just oddly touched by the rose ceremony, but I’m going to try to be the bitchy-slash-witty blogger I’ve trained myself to be. So on to the show…
The first hometown date reunites Sadie and Lorenzo in beautiful San Diego for an entirely uneventful date. They meet up, Sadie is cute as always, and they go meet her family. There, Lorenzo meets the awkwardly chubby little sister, the cute best friend and the very kind parents who love Jesus. At this point, we’re still thinking that Lorenzo’s personality can best be described as “diet vanilla.” He’s just a bit boring. Nothing happened at Sadie’s. Nothing.
So next we meet up with Lisa and Lorenzo in Portland, Oregon (otherwise known as the hometown of Meredith from the Bachelorette who picked my boyfriend Ian and inevitably broke up). Lisa is an utter disaster. She immediately reminds us that she has a plan for her life. Engaged in a year, married in two, and kids by 30. Okay, we get it—you’re crazy. Soon Lorenzo learns of her craziness as Lisa’s friend arrives with a wedding dress and they play dress-up. He is sweating bullets as he realizes she’s crazy. In fact, he’s “freaked out.” I couldn’t have worded it better. A bit later, Lorenzo is on the floor doing Pilates with Lisa’s mom, and I’m freaked out as well. Honestly, this whole date is just uncomfortable.
Luckily we get to join up with Jen and Lorenzo in Miami for a totally normal date. By normal, I mean horrifyingly uncomfortable and mute-worthy. Jen is way too excited, her dad is way too militant, and the whole encounter blows. For one second, before he meets her family, Lorenzo is cute and very in to Jen (as she catches a shark of all things while fishing), but then he gets a gun pulled on his ass and he sweats through his shirt. The dad is literally frightening as he pulls out his loaded firearms to intimidate the unsuspecting Lorenzo. Okay, we get that she’s your only daughter, but we don’t get why you need to wear ugly floral shirts while fending off future sons-in-law. I was screaming and muting the telly every five seconds. Lorenzo is so nervous he can’t put together a sentence. We all hate it. Thank god it ends.
And then we fly back to Italia to reunite the lovers who don’t communicate—Agnese and Lorenzo. Yes, it’s awkward and uncomfortable. But wait…before you sign her out of your lives, you first have to get won over by her cute family and her honest intentions. Because clearly they won me over. I’m not lying. I’m almost ashamed to admit I was touched by the cute father, the fun after-dinner dancing, and the monolingual touch to the whole night. But he’s so clearly in to her. They make out at the end. It’s cute. We start to like Agnese. She’s natural, very Italian, very real. And very headed for bad news…
At the rose ceremony, a badly-clad Lorenzo (don’t mix dark suits with dark shirts) chooses his three suitors and sends one a-packin’.
He chooses to have fantasy dates with:
1) Sadie
2) Jen
3) Lisa!?!? No. We hate her!!
Sadly, he says goodbye to Agnese. Seriously, it was sad. Lorenzo showed his first emotions! He cried, I was touched, and I’m pissed. How dare ABC fool me into being touched by this anti-personality Lorenzo! Could he have a personality and a heart after all?
I have to say, Agnese put it best (in bad English): “He use head more than heart.” He actually did. Lorenzo knows it too, because he really liked her and he cried like a little girl (or like a gay) while saying goodbye. Awwwww…
Awards:
1) Freakiest armor-bearing dad: Jen’s father. We’re all scared of you.
2) Worst kiss: The goodbye kiss between Lisa and Lorenzo when Lisa said, “I want more kisses,” and Lorenzo unwillingly obliged with tongueless kisses and skeeved me out.
3) Most touching and unexpected moment: the goodbye between Lorenzo and Agnese. I’m still sad. For real. I’m serious. Oh well, I’m sure they’re boning now because whomever the chick Lorenzo ends up with has already been broken up with…
Until next Monday,
Mike

Take your top off.
I am back. And let me once again blame Kansas City for ruining my life last week (and your lives too, let's be honest). But on to the show.
The drama starts straight away with the bitches being told by Chris that there will be two one-on-one dates. Who gets these dates? Those who are most deserving. Who determines this? Erica “the socialite” upon her return to the manse wearing a bedazzled pink capelet and her tiara. She determines, after hearing all the hoes say that Lisa sucks, that Sadie and Jen are most deserving (i.e. “Most Sincere” and “Most Deserving of Being a Princess”).
The first date, with Sadie the virgin, is a “fly away” date with Lorenzo the pilot. Sadie looks hot in aviators, and Lorenzo looks even hotter as a pilot. Let’s be honest, anyone who flies a plane automatically becomes 82 times hotter. This may explain why I wanted to be a pilot when I was younger. Back to the point. They then get in the hot tub and don’t make out. Great! Our blue balls are soon taken care of as Sadie kisses him at dinner. It was cute. It was awkward because Lorenzo didn’t slip her the tongue. We’re fine with it because Lorenzo gives her a rose and wants to bone her in her childhood bedroom, I mean meet her parents because he gives her a rose.
The second date unites Jeanette, Lisa, Agnese and Desiree at a toga party. There are horse races, there is swimming, and there is Lorenzo shirtless on the second date in a row. Yay for that. No one gets a rose on this date so we’re left with watching the girls be themselves. By “be themselves” I mean Agnese gets to practice her “English” with Lorenzo. She doesn’t practice so much as she pretends to speak English, but it’s fine. She won’t get a rose anyway…Oh one more thing: Lorenzo looked like a shlong in his ivy headdress.
The final date brought Jen and Lorenzo together in Rome, the city that Lorenzo learns about through an earpiece while spouting off facts to his dates given to him by his producers. It’s really genuine and quite amazing.
Lorenzo is wearing all black and a white jacket. He doesn’t pull it off. During their romantic carriage ride through Rome, Lorenzo used the previously-mentioned earpiece to tell Jen all about the history and fun facts of Rome. They swapped stories about how their parents met and I barfed a little when she told him that her dad “bagged my mom’s groceries.” He bagged more than that is all I’m saying…
Then Lorenzo told her some unenthusiastic story about his parents and how they ruled New Jersey or something. He gives Jen a rose. Immediately after that, Jen tells her that her dad is “a little crazy” and we realize this after seeing her dad hold a firearm in the previews for next week.
During the final date, the hoes at home got a little crazy and streaked the lawn. This was highlight of the evening. “Take your top off!” screamed Desiree. I was in heaven.
At the rose ceremony, Lorenzo “struggled” with his decision to send two girls home. "I don't want six women in my life; I want one." Well put, Lorenzo, well put.
He gave roses to:
1) Sadie
2) Jen
3) Lisa
4) Agnese. WHAT?!? I will be muting his visit to her house next week. It will be so horribly awkward I will literally drink 9 bottles of wine in 8 minutes in order to soothe the pain. Honestly, call me during this date because I will need distraction. I am giving you free reign to violate the “no call” rule during The Bachelor.
Poor Desiree and Jeanette.
I’m sad to see Desiree go, even though she says “baby” every four seconds. But she took her top off and I loved it.
This week’s awards:
1) The Does He Really Have a Personality? award goes to: Lorenzo. Does he or doesn’t he?
2) The Least Grammatically Correct award goes to: Desiree. “Tequilia” and “Proudness” earned her this one. Desiree, it’s tequila and it’s pride. Go back and study, baby.
3) The Take Your Top Off Award: Aileen and Cassie. Take your tops off!
Until next week, take your tops off and drink some Tequilia.

I've failed you.
Devotees of me,
I have failed you. Since I'm very busy and important, I was away from the TV during last night's episode. Kansas City is simply too fabulous to allow me to watch my reason for living.
I've been seriously depressed all day--but my spirits were lifted after hearing of Erica the "Socialite's" breakdown after being dissed my Prince Jersey.
I promise next week's update will change your life. Until then, feel free to hate me.

"I do judge." We all do.
On this glorious day on which we celebrate the life of Christopher Columbus, our delightful evening begins with the announcement that there will be three dates: two group dates; and one individual date. It also begins with Erica the “socialite” wearing a tiara. Gross.
The first date (hereafter referred to as “Date One”) includes Erica, Jami, Ellen, Sadie (love her), and Agnese the Italian incommunicado.
Date One begins with the girls and Lorenzo touring the city of Rome. They visit the Colosseum, and ride around on mopeds. Erica regales him with tales—I mean word vomit—of her exes, and we question her decisions for the first time (of 98402 times) this evening.
The girls then choose dresses for the cocktail party, and we re-join Erica in her perpetual state of disaster. Some key quotes: “Jami didn’t go to college.” “I do judge.” Amazing.
Nothing else of note happens besides Sadie receiving a first rose and continuing to be cute.
Date Two is the individual date between Lisa and Lorenzo. It’s in Villa Borghese. You don’t say?? Lorenzo spats of stats about his namesake park that were given to him five minutes before by the producers, and we’re totally impressed.
Well, Lisa, with her love-life mapped out, arrives and the two have a romantic time in the park. Lisa tells us her beliefs about The Bachelor by saying that “this process does work.” We all laugh, knowing that it clearly does not. But we keep watching because we love it.
Meanwhile at the manse: the inevitable virginity talk ensues between the ladies left at home and we learn that Sadie is a card-carrying member of the dwindling Virgin Club. Great.
Back at Date Two, we’re upset that Lorenzo’s t-shirt is poking out from his polo sleeves and we hate it. He gives her a rose.
Date Three (a.k.a. Boobs and Bikinis). Key players: Desiree, Kim, Jeanette, Sarah, Jennifer and Gina.
The lovers take helicopters to the beach and Kim gets absolutely hammered and I love every minute of it. Key moment: we FINALLY see Lorenzo shirtless and it’s good. He has an awkward tan, but we can accept that he has a hot bod.
They play football in the nude (almost) and it’s fun. There was great moment of girl-on-girl action with boob-grabbing action. Jennifer gets the rose and we’re fine with it. But back to Kim. She’s WASTED and I can’t get enough of it—especially when she is awakened by Lorenzo and she starts speaking drunken gibberish thinking he’s a waiter. Brilliant. Oh, and how about when she fell after being interviewed? You can’t write this stuff.
Before the rose ceremony, Lorenzo makes last-minute decisions on who to keep. The girls make their last efforts.
Agnese, the non-English speaking Italian tries to make out with Lorenzo. A hungover Kim can’t own up to the fact that she passed out the day before, and says she was just “tired.” Yeah, tired from pounding 82 drinks. Lisa says mean stuff and then denies it. Is she going to be the enemy of the season?
With very little drama, and predictable bad choices, the rose ceremony begins. The first three roses are sealed, and he has six more girls to choose.
1) Sadie
2) Lisa
3) Jennifer
4) Jeanette
5) Desiree…god, how many more “babies” can we handle?
6) Jami. I’m surprised she could string a sentence together since she’s not college-educated and all.
7) Gina
8) Agnese. How many more attempts at the English language can she make??
9) Erica, the “socialite” disaster that we all knew would stay because ABC sucks.
This week’s awards.
1) Biggest surprise: Sarah, the black Canadian going home. I mean, what more could she have brought to the table? She could have been missing a leg, I guess.
2) Smallest upper lip: Lorenzo. Has anyone else noticed this?
3) Quote of the week: “He’s not a commoner” (about Lorenzo). “I do judge.” Both from Erica’s horrendous lips. We hate her. And stop playing with your hair, you spoiled Texan disaster!
Until next week, at which point I will blog from Kansas City,

Let the drama begin!
As I settled in front of the TV in Villa Hondorp (that’s Italian for “Hondorp’s Amazingly Spacious Estate”) with a steamy plate of Chicken Parmesan in front of me, I watched as the disaster began. I use the word “disaster” in the best of all possible senses. My heart raced, my tummy turned…so I drank some more wine.
Price Lorenzo Borghese is hot, and five minutes into the show I’m wondering why he hasn’t taken his shirt off. Seriously. Show us the guns.
But then I’m distracted by the sight of his mother, “Princess” Amanda Borghese, a.k.a. Princess McJersey. She has kept the burgeoning plastic surgery clinic in central Jersey alive for years now, and we’re proud of her. But on to the show…
Sidenote: are we convinced that Lorenzo is an amazing bachelor? The jury is out. He’s hot, yes. But what does he bring to the table? Ponder that while you read on. Also ponder his big schnoz.
I could mock 82 more things about Lorenzo, his family, his ties to some random Pope, but let’s get to the arrival of the 25 bitches, I mean women. No need to chronicle them all, but let’s hit up some highlights.
April is a “model.” Her business is showing in her slit-to-the-gills dress and we’re embarrassed.
Jessica is wearing a bad teal dress.
Some chick from Ohio is a Beer Chemist. She’s my best friend. I want her job.
Meri from Mississippi is not doing the dumbest state in the union any favors. “I went to SMU, have you heard of it?” Yes, Meri, we’ve heard of it. Anyone with money has heard of it, so Lorenzo has clearly heard of it. And so have I. I mean, I live at Villa Hondorp for God’s sake!
Rosella, the tragic Clinique counter girl (“Make-up Artist) is Chicago O’Bad Accent. Yikes.
Sarah is the black Canadian. She’s a damn shoe-in.
Desiree, one of the more tragic events of the night, is wearing a tragic dress, says tragic things like “baby” every four words, and brings the Mormons in her hometown of Salt Lake City much sadness. Pure trash, thankyouverymuch.
Erica the socialite, is Texas trash, and we all hate her. Thus, she’ll be around for far too long. “I flew coach for you. You should be flattered.” Flattered or appalled? Sick. Go back to the Houston Galleria and spend more of Daddy’s millions.
Heather is a drunken disaster.
Andrea sings pathetic opera, and we gag.
Sadie is cuter than anything. I want to be fun and sarcastic with her. Her comments about “24 extra people here” and “you better be worth it” were priceless and fun. Love her.
Lisa, a tree-hugging Oregonian, gets the first rose. She’s cute and normal. I might be fine with her.
Two random, non-English speaking Italian tramps show up, we’re over it.
Okay…on to the fun. Don’t worry, the sun has now risen. The girls look like ass, they’re wasted and tired and haggard and hungover, and they just want the damn roses. ABC is brilliant. Brilliant, I tell you. Push stupid people to their limits so as to ignite the drama. Brilliant!
Prior to the rose ceremony, Lorenzo gives us all the “my future wife could be here,” and “at the end of this, I could be on one knee proposing to my future wife” ridiculous one-liners that we’ve heard in the first episode of the past 928747 seasons. Lorenzo, have you studied the results of the previous ABC-financed calamities? I have. ONE couple have been married, and that wasn’t on The Bachelor, that was The Bachelorette! NO OTHERS have survived the initial “love” the found on TV. Thanks. But I share your hope, Lorenzo. And I share the desire of the ladies to see you shirtless.
And Lorenzo begins a to-be-expected “dramatic” rose ceremony.
1) Lisa. Got the first rose and earrings.
2) Kim
3) Jeanette
4) Jami
5) Ellen. Seems like good people.
6) Sarah. What did I tell you, ayyy?
7) Desiree. We’re not surprised, we’re just sad for America.
8) Jennifer
9) Gina. She makes snotty faces.
10) Erica. “Oh my gosh, I’m so happy. You have no idea!” Vomit.
11) Sadie. Cute.
12) Anyaze (sp???). Girl can’t speak English! Are you kidding?
The rest of the losers and drunkards go home. One surprise? Annoying Chicago Italian chick, Rosella, went home. I mean, she sold her car! So sad for her. I actually had a moment of emotion.
The winners toasted their champagne at 6 a.m., and passed out for 25 hours.
This week’s awards:
1) “Bad idea” dress: April’s. Let’s not bare it all on the first night.
2) Best dress: Rita from Richmond. Hot. Too bad you’re going home.
3) Best impression award: Sadie. We love you. Keep the sarcastic remarks a-comin’.
4) Biggest Trainwreck: Desiree. “Baby,” go home.
Until next week,
