dear ew.com, could i please write for you someday?

ok, i will move on soon, but a few things stuck out from last night's the bachelor: on the wings of love...

1) the music... first, to hear the actual song "on the wings of love" play as jake and his date (who up until that moment swears she's terrified of planes and won't even go on family vacations when they involve flying... but all of a sudden in the face of going on a date with mr. i'm-cute-but-polite-with-no-personality she somehow gathers the courage to go.

2) elizabeth seemed like a classy girl and then wrote him a note that she read to him where she said she didn't want him to kiss her until she was the last one... truly classy, because that show can be a little lot sketch. then, he gives her the rose of the date and they go and sit and wait for fireworks and she becomes little miss tease. yikes. way to stay classy.

3) "i 100% accept this rose" - i heard it a few times during the episode... it doesn't make sense.  one can accept the rose or not. just once, i'd like to hear one of them say, "i 33.3% accept this rose."

4) michelle is crazy. done.

5) the scandal made me laugh a little. poor chris harrison with his lawyer-language. i wasn't crazy about "little rose" anyway - and i kept getting nervous that she'd fall over from all that weight in the front.

ok, done... just needed to get those things off my chest. haha. chest. they're mostly busty girls.

oh, abc... another interesting season of the bachelor with all its twists and turns

so i watched episode 1 of the bachelor: on the wings of love tonight... it's fun to get together with some of my favorite people and laugh at the ridiculosity (yes, i'm making it a word) of 25 women and the one dopey man they're fighting over...

here are the things i picked up on.

1) drama - there will always be drama and this season promises to have drama we've "never seen before" - although, i read it was that one of the women has a fling/affair/relationship/whatever with one of the male producers... and it's all supposed to come out next week... which i am guessing means it wasn't really a long relationship anyway.

2) "she's not here for the right reasons" - it seems like that phrase doesn't usually come out until at least the second episode, but tonight it took an hour and 20 minutes... haha... is anyone really there for the "right" reasons?

3) crazy girl... there's always one... and this year it's michelle... yikes... i kept waiting for her to say that a) her eggs were rotting or b) that she likes to french kiss her dog... instead she cried an hour into the first episode... and she gets to stay. maybe dreams do come true after all... or maybe jake got paid more to keep her around.

4) i'm thinking that the show actually could have been called "the bachelor: i have no personality, but i'm a really nice guy with good abs!" i just don't feel like there is much at the surface of jake... but according to chris harrison, he's really serious and "spiritual" - i did like that he put God at the top of his priority list... does that mean it will cut down on the sketch factor. doubt it.

5) desperate ploys by women to "win" the guy... and how they worked (most of the time). 1) falling into his arms at the beginning while wearing a dress that evidently wasn't finished by the time the show started 2) the peacock feather - which was actually kind of cute to me, 3) the jelly beans as the parting gifts for the other ladies to make the "taste of defeat" better - and because she was going to "win" 4) ten list by tenley - where she kisses him at the end (then cries about it) - and i actually kind of like her... 5) the flight attendant outfit... and the ones that didn't work (so glad) - 1) do you like kissimmee? 2) cambodian mumbo jumbo that means: you can land your plane on my landing strip anytime.... REALLY? yikes...

my favorite line of the night: jake: have you flown before? michelle: uhh... (pause) i... would... love... to be a passenger... on your plane.
