Bachelor Week 7: Bachelor Thunderdome: 6 Girls Enter, 4 Girls Leave


This show is starting to remind me of the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.  For those who have seen the movie, the title of this post should make sense (and it is the only Tina Turner line in any movie I will ever remember).  But the connection is not really that hard to make.  Mad Max and Crazy Courtney.  Now there is a reality show I would watch; Mel Gibson vs. Courtney the model to see who is the craziest SOB on the planet.  See, it fits!  Now onto the week in review:

·         I’ve seen enough of these shows to know, if the girls do not say “I'm falling in love with you” they’re screwed.  It goes something like this... “I know it’s only been 4 weeks and we’ve only been on group dates and you’ve been hooking up with 20 other women, but seriously Ben, I am falling in Love with you.”
·         Chris Harrison says “I just talked to Ben and he feels his wife is in this room”.  Ben, you’ve seen the show.  You have more of a chance marrying Chris Harrison than you do one of the contestants.
·         Harrison then goes on to say “He believe’s he will get down on 1 knee and propose”.  Well, we all watched Ashley’s season.  Getting Ben down on 1 knee and proposing is not really a big accomplishment.  Been proposing on a reality show?  Been there, done that.
·         The show is almost over and I still don’t know these girls names.  There is “The Horse girl”, “Bitchy Model”, “Girl who complained about Bitchy Model” and 3 others.
·         One of the girls compared Ben to a delicious piece of cheesecake...I think a more appropriate desert would be a blob of rice pudding
·         Ben and girl are walking down an isolated walkway and see a romantic table for 2 set up.  Girl says “is that for us"? Um, No, this town just treats the homeless really well.
·        Holy awkward small talk during that dinner.  It’s like they try to combine getting to know you with baring your soul and are met with disastrous results.
o    Ben: "I like cabbage"
o    Girl: "I'm falling in love with you".
o    Ben: "Do you like cabbage too?"
·       When Ben barged into the basketball game, I wanted the dudess to dunk on him and then say no blood no foul.  That would have been a classic moment in reality TV and made a star out of the “extra”
·        Ben says “Emily is so smart”.  Mmmm, no, not really, it's that you are so  dumb
·         Ben is talking about how he and some girl are walking through the jungle and randomly come across some old temple.  Randomly? Who do you think you are?  Indiana Jones?  In my history lessons, I don’t recall the Mayans having High-Definition video cameras situated around their statues taking home videos of the goddess Isis
·         Since when does getting out of your comfort zone and overcoming your fears become a critical part of a relationship?
·         Courtney got a spark, then lost her spark, then got it back again all in about 3 minutes. Red flag buddy!  If that doesn’t equal high maintenance, then what does?
·         If Courtney was any more shallow, Ben would have to wear swimmies
·         I think Courtney's on a drug, and it's called Charlie Sheen
