On my home from work this evening, I was doing some very critical thinking about Bachelor Pad. We watched Holly torture herself over which couple to vote off, as she believed herself to be the deciding vote. So here's what her torture was over:
1) Blake and Erica, the dentist and the lawyer to be, arguably the "intellectuals" of the house, determine that their best course of action is trusting Kasey and Vienna by giving them the safety of two roses. Horrible move. Both of these couples vote out Kirk and Ella, clearly the only couple with a shred of integrity. That's 2 votes to send home Kirk and Ella.
2) Michelle and Graham, who use their brains this week, realize that Kasey and Vienna's actions are not the gospel and it's ok to vote differently. Graham honors his close ties with Michael and MoneyGram (love this combo name) votes out Blake and Erica. Kirk and Ella, pissed that they did not receive the rose, also vote out Blake and Erica. That's 2 votes to send home Blake and Erica's Lips.
3) This leaves Holly in a pickle. We're all tied up at 2 votes per couple, leaving Holly and Michael as the deciding vote. Does she remain loyal to her partner/ex fiance just because he's finally realized Holly is a prize to be lost? If she does, that's it for her blooming romance with Blake. Or does she follow her heart and stab both Michael and Ella in the back for some more making out with Blake's perfect teeth? Shockingly, Holly seems to be the only person that is thinking with her head in the house and chooses Blake.
So here's my deep thought: if Holly was so torn, and since it's her (and not Michael) who actually casts the vote, couldn't she have voted herself and Michael out of the house? Is there a rule against voting for yourself? This of course would mean that there would be a tie and perhaps we'd get to see a competitive tie breaker. How fun would that be? Why can't Holly think outside the box?
I'm off to enjoy one of the last football season free nights until February with The Husband. To all of you girlfriends / wives / partners out there who will be losing their significant others to football season, I empathize. Not to worry, you can always check in right here!
