Wow. So there's been way too much Bachelor/Bachelorette gossip taking place over the last several weeks. A normal person may think better than to get all excited about some of this stuff, but let's face it - if you are as obsessed with this show as I am, how normal can you be?A brief recap of some of the more interesting happenings:
1. Our former nice Jewish boy turned villain who dumped the nice girl for the other girl on national TV even though she knew about it before hand as it was staged - apparently decided to appease all the nay-sayers, I mean, take a leap of faith - and propose to Molly Malaney. Where did he plan to propose to her? Did he decide to fly off to Hawaii or go to some romantic boutique hotel in Seattle somewhere or perhaps to some totally new spot all together where they had never been? Nope. He took her all the way to New Zealand, the site of where he broke her heart into 5 billion pieces to remind her of that special time in her life. I mean, come on, Jason - yes you wanted to replace the bad memories with the good. But if I got dumped and humiliated on national TV by someone who had chosen another girl over me and proposed to her, and then for some reason decided I could forgive that guy, date him, and accept a marriage proposal from him - by no means would I want to accept that marriage proposal in the same place he proposed to someone else. Just a little too unoriginal. But that's me. Molly seems far more open minded and forgiving than I ever could be.
Now to their credit, I'd say the cameras are about 70% off them right now and focused on a combination of whether Ed and Jillian will actually work out now that she has moved to Chicago (but let's face it, this is kind of old news already as well), Jake being the new Bachelor (don't worry - I am in the process of devising a Bachelor game to get us through the season for all of those "Jake is just too nice/too cheesy/too boring to be a good Bachelor" types). So the fact that Molly and Jason are still living this happily ever after life with Tye, especially now that Molly has moved to Seattle, there seems to be some staying power (at least for now). You will also notice that Molly's hair is darker than when we saw her on the show. I am not sure what this means except that she's going for a new look - perhaps wanting to look a little more like Jason and Tye.

2. Did you guys see this hilarious spoof on the Juan/Wes controversy last season? It's very funny, and while bordering on animal cruelty, it's made up for by nailing David the Jerk's personality and Chris the Host's mannerisms. Worth the 2 minutes: http://www.take180.com/s/11r4id
bloom romance, declared love and intentions to one day marry Stephen Stagliano, twin brother of former beloved Bachelor competitor, Mike Stagliano - who pursued and got his heart broken by Jillian Harris. Funny enough, her new best friend Holly Durst (competitor on the Bachelor season with British Matt and former girlfriend of Jesse Cszinscak after him and DeAnna ended their engagement) is currently dating Mike Stagliano. Holly and Mike introduced DeAnna to Stephen. How fun must those double dates be? In her latest post on the Blogger Brides section of the Get Married website, DeAnna confesses in strong detail - her love for Stephen. I think they kept it on the DL for a while (she referred to him as "her golf coach") - but now it's full steam ahead with the relationship (and the press).

It was also announced on Friday that DeAnna is out of a job now that Get Married is going a new direction for its third season. Kind of stinks to declare your love for your new boy and lose your job all in one week, but I guess that's life. At least now if she gets engaged, she'll know where to go to for the help in planning! Get Married has grown tremendously over the last year - and now not only has a TV show and website - but a magazine that comes out 4 times a year. Impressive! More on that - for my next post. Some interesting things in the works.
4. It's not too late to apply for the next Bachelorette - there are open casting calls or you can send in your info online: http://thebachelor.warnerbros.com/web/castingdisplay/cd.jsp
Mind you, there's more of a chance of you finding your love once you have broken up with the star of the show or at the reunions of all of the Bachelors/Bachelorettes, but - that's ok!
Also, check back more frequently now - as I have figured out a way to squeeze some more time into this blog despite my 3 hours of daily commuting. (Net books are the coolest things ever and go well on the train even when squeezed between two suit wearing types who probably think I'm insane for drafting blog posts about The Bachelor. Whatever).
Happy Sunday!
