You didn't seriously think I would go a whole season without a live running diary of The Bachelor, did you?  Especially during the season when seemingly all the bachelorettes have turned on the bachelor, ironically leaving Andi and Sharleen to defend Juan Pablo during The Women Tell All.  This season has been an unpredictable gong show of a season that has been a borderline train wreck

The Bachelor is back!  I couldn't be more excited.  As usual, we can't go into the show completely blind about this season's bachelorettes, so I skimmed their show bios to get a better idea of who these reality show divas in the making ladies are.  It looks like ABC also agrees, as they are launching a two night premiere on Sunday and Monday that will give more

I signed up for Instagram yesterday, but had trouble setting up my account.  Turns out someone decided to use my e-mail address to sign up for their account.  Why they would do this, I have no idea.  This meant I had to use a secondary e-mail account to sign up. I was not happy about this. But then I realized that with my e-mail address come e-mail rights.  Like

Sadly, I will not be able to blog Dez's season of The Bachelorette.  However, I will be back for the next season of The Bachelor to find more FMCs!

Sure, the season finale's here, but you know what?  So is Chris Harrison's new clothing line.  I know what I want for Christmas... 7:50: But seriously.  Catherine and Lindsay over Dez and Lesley?  Really? 8:01: Excuse me, but I have a tradition to uphold.

An hour ago, I was still at work blasting out e-mails to various executives.  Half an hour ago, I was running to grab my pickup order.  But now, I'm here.  I have priorities. Another sign I'm ready to be a professional reality TV blogger: the reality TV czar, Dave Jacoby, wrote a recap of the last epsiode where he made the same points I made last week - AshLee's love of turning

I'm so excited for the fantasy suites tonight that I'm doing a live running blog, and then adding pictures after the fact.  Check back in a couple of days to see the blog with more commentary and pictures.  It's disturbing how much I love this show. By the way, three weeks until the end of the season and we still don't know who the next Bachelorette is going to be.  Does that

Chris Harrison tells us it's another two-part episode this week, and that tonight's rose ceremony "will blow you away".  My psychic abilities tell me that tears are going to be involved. First of all, why is The Bachelor not available on the main page at City TV's website?!  This is outrageous. Shame, City, shame! 0:01: What the hell is AshLee's dog doing with its front leg? &

The recap is late because I've been spending all my time watching the epic Angela Miller performance from American Idol this past week, and by extension, Emotive Keith Urban Faces: Keith was shocked by the quality of the first few notes from Angela Miller: Giddy astonishment: Feeling the emotion of the song: Becoming one with the music: Even Mariah stopped watching

I've had overwhelmingly positive feedback for the picture blog from last Tuesday's episode, so starting with tonight's episode, I'm switching to that format.  The good news is that I'll be able to watch the show twice, because really, how would that be a bad thing?  The bad news is that you'll have nothing to read tonight besides this post.  Since I'm hoping to have the picture

Since I was not aware that The Bachelor would be doing a special episode on Tuesday this season, I have a scheduling conflict and am unable to do a live-blog.  That doesn't mean I won't be doing a live running blog during the show as I watch it later, though.

Chris Harrison posted a picture of him working on his new clothing line.  And to that I say: Look at all the plaid! I'm looking forward to this two-day Bachelor extravaganza, but unfortunately my schedule did not account for this glorious two day event.  As a result, I won't be able to live-blog the Tuesday show until later in the week.  Very sad news, I know.  That

I'm excited for Bachelorette Roller Derby tonight.  There's nothing quite like taking a bunch of women who have been locked together in the same house for over a week and putting them into a competition that involves physical contact.  I'm setting the official "Sean is going over to make sure that bachelorette is OK after that fall" over/under at 2.5 (for the record, I'll take the over)

Forget about The Bachelor for a second.  We have much more important things to discuss: a Chris Harrison clothing line!  I would absolutely spend money on this.  Is the line going to be all suits, dress shirts, and fancy watches?  Or do we get a Casual Chris on Bachelor Pad line with fancy watches as well?  How about an Awards Show Chris line with fancy watches?

We're back for more drama in Episode 2.  I'm so happy The Bachelor has returned to my Monday nights. After last week's running blog of the premiere, Mysteries left a long note of solid observations, as well as some comments on the blog.  Since some of you might have had similar thoughts, let's address these points together: 1) Why did I not comment on the "rape whistle"

Finally, the premiere is upon us.  And after you watch this one minute clip of Sean, you'll be as fired up as I am.  Just tremendous emotional manipulation in that package, especially the piano solo at the end of the clip. If you're looking for a primer on the bachelorettes, look no further than my Bachelor preview of the bachelorette bios that sums up the important facts

The Bachelor is back and so is the running blog!  I'll be here live blogging away every Monday until I run out of sarcasm.  But before that happens, we should take a look at the bachelorette bios that ABC has posted.  I must say, I'm a bit disappointed in ABC.  First of all, there is no tattoo locator on the bio page this year, so there won't be any "I'm too ashamed

"Disturbing". "The world will be talking about the Bachelor Pad finale." "It may be two of the best hours that we've ever produced in the 10 years that we've been doing any franchise." These are not words to describe a normal show.  But they're being used by Chris Harrison and Bachelor Pad producers to describe tonight's season finale.  This could be an epic night. 7:43: I'm

Just because Michael Stagliano was sent home last week, that doesn't mean I'm done with him yet - shout out to G-Unit for informing me of his upcoming concert in Toronto.  Can you think of a better place to meet single ladies than at the concert of a Bachelorette castoff?  I sure can't.  Anyone want to be my wing-woman?  Stags is also promising hugs and pictures&nbsp

Chris Harrison is Tweeting ominous things about tonight's episode, which is always a good sign.  Former FMC and Bachelor cast-off Ashley Spivey is also Tweeting about tonight being crazy.  Since it's theoretically impossible for both Chris Harrison and an FMC to lie about the same thing, I have no choice but to assume that the following two hours of television will

Courtesy of Grantland Reality TV Czar Dave Jacoby, I pass along the great gift that is the Michael Stagliano power ballad music video.  Yes, this absolutely happened.  Shockingly, it's pretty good, given the low expectations that have been set by previous reality TV stars who tried to start a music career, with undeniably disastrous results. 7:59: I'm very excited for tonight. 8:07:

I just watched the magnificent yet controversial Canada-USA Olympic women's semifinal soccer game, and three thoughts lingered with me: 1) What an amazing game. 2) The ref was absolutely horrific. 3) There is an FMC on the Canadian women's soccer team.  My goodness, is there ever an FMC on the team.
