THE BACHELOR FINALE RECAP AHHHHH

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television, Weekly Posts | Leave a comment

Like most of America, I fast forwarded through much of The Bachelor finale, only to be disappointed with the fact that Sean picked Catherine, someone I barely even knew was on the show. Poor Lindsay: She walked through a bunch of woods and rocks only to get dumped on national television despite the fact that she was sure she was about to get engaged.  I’ve been dumped in a lot of different ways, but that, folks, is simply awful. But, …

The Bachelor Recap: All The Things We’ve Learned

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television, Weekly Posts | 1 Comment

This week’s episode of The Bachelor was spectacularly awful.  To be honest, I could barely stand to watch the majority of it, as nobody says or does anything interesting, and I don’t find Sean to be ridiculously attractive (as it seems the rest of the country does).  Furthermore, the gratuitous shots of him in tank tops staring into the sun are starting to get a bit redundant. Highlights of this episode? THE PREVIEWS.  Things we can learn from this episode?

Bachelor Recap: I’VE MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television | 2 Comments

Last night’s Bachelor was full of all kinds of ups and downs, and left me with more questions than answers. The hometown week took Sean and his ladies to four different destinations, where things were awkward and boring and blahblahblabhlablhab. All you need to know is that: 1. Ash Lee speaks almost entirely in metaphors, and we’re all pretty sure we could write her young adult novel of her life, describing her fear of abandonment in excruciating detail and also …

The Bachelor Recap: TIERRA LOSES HER SPARKLE!

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television | Leave a comment

TERRIFYINGTIERRA is GONE! Her parents told her not to let anyone take her sparkle, and she went ahead and took it herself!  SweatySean sent her packing, even though he was crazy about her—because that makes perfect sense!  This week we’ll do the top 5 Tierra moments from this week after reminding you about the other forgettable things that happened. WhiteLesley got sent home, after it became painfully obvious that she and Sean were involved in some sort of bro-ship, even …

Top Five Worst Bachelor Moments: Double Dose Recap

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television | Leave a comment

 1. “I appreciate you.”  Sean said this to WhiteLesley in an intimate moment on a bench (duh, like, all the intimate moments in this show happen on benches), and it made everyone across the world cringe.  This is something that, say, your boss says to you.  Or your mom.  Or your first-born child (God forbid).  Not your bachelor lover.  I know SweatySean totally digs WhiteLesley’s completely overwhelming level of NORMALITY, but being “appreciated” has never been code for: let’s get …

Top 5 Worst Bachelor Moments: Recap

 1.  “Is that a helicopter?” Said LiabilityLindsay, as she walked towards a helicopter.  Sure is, SweatySean responded.  Suffice it to say, this girl has little to offer except that she is certifiably crazy and spends most of her  Sean-time with her tongue down his throat.  She also said the phrase, “When I was an adolescent,” which nobody has ever said, ever.  Maybe she doesn’t know what a teen-a-ger is.

The Bachelor (Still boring!) Recap

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television, TV Reviews | Leave a comment

The previews for next week’s double feature of The Bachelor were, as usual, far more interesting than the show itself.  They featured a hypothermic ambulance ride, tears (naturally), and girls going nuts.  Just a great way to start off a week.  This week was BLEH as usual, but with so many idiotic people being filmed at the same time, there’s still a few shining moments. First, Sean’s one-on-one, where he jet-set to Joshua Tree with Selma, a terrifyingly small Iraqi …

The Bachelor Recap Week 3: Sean “I love that!” Lowe

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television | 3 Comments

Oh boy! The Bachelor this week featured all kinds of goodies for our eyes and our ears.  Per usual, the show remained inane and void of any tolerable content, but due to its predictability and redundancy, there’s plenty to write about! Sean obviously took WhiteLesley on his first one-on-one this week, taking her to the Guinness World Records Store? Museum? Restaurant? Dungeon? To break the record for the “World’s Longest On Screen Kiss.”  It sort of seems like a roundabout …

The Bachelor Recap Week Two: Sean Lowe-An American Hero!

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television | 1 Comment

On last night’s episode of The Bachelor, America got a taste for Sean Lowe: the new American hero.  He looks like a firefighter and a virginal princess got together and conceived him while donating all their money to charity.  Still– Let me preface by saying that I don’t love Sean, only because I find it difficult to have an overwhelming and debilitating crush on him.  He’s just not my style. Too many muscles or something.  But, when Chris Harrison dubbed …

The Bachelor Returns

Posted on by Liz Riggs in Featured, Reality Check, Television | 2 Comments

While most of you idiots were watching the boring National Championship yesterday, I was guh-lued to my seat for this season’s premiere of The Bachelor.  For everyone who is reading this simply so that I don’t disown you as a friend or future spouse, I’ll quickly fill you in (really, don’t watch the show, it’s terrible).
