My Review of "The Bachelorette", Week 3.

Yes, I watch The Bachelorette.  Deal with it.  If you don't watch the show and don't care about it, you may cease reading now...and if you do watch the show, but haven't seen this week's episode yet, be aware that spoilers abound in this post.

Also, Danielle and Amy, this post is for you in particular.  Feel special :)

So here we go.

I want to title this week's episode "SUCH A Bad Idea!!!!"

Here is my evidence:
  • Jeff's Mask:  SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!!  Actually, letting Jeff on the show at all...not the best idea either.
  • Making the mask removal a big deal, and not being amazingly attractive or having some kind of dramatic scar a la Phantom of the Opera: SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!!  The longer you  leave on the mask, the better the reveal has to be...and it definitely didn't live up to it.
  • Having a Comedy Roast for a date: SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!!!!!  That's just asking to be insulted.  It was predestined to end badly.
  • Everything William said at the Comedy Roast: SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!!!  You may have a never-to-be-realized dream of being a stand-up comic, but you're also on a date.  Use your brain.
  • William just pushing Ashley off to talk to the other guys because he feels bad, and just giving up: SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!
  • Bentley's entire being:  SUCH A BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Ashley not listening to the girl who tipped her off about Bentley being a jerk: SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!!!
  • That girl just texting Ashley about Bentley being a jerk instead of calling and elaborating on his jerk-ness with emphatic voice: SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!
  • Super short strapless sparkley dress and super gigantic sparkley necklace: Not the best idea.  There was too much going on...the dress should have been longer, or it should have had straps, or the necklace should have been smaller.

And now for some good ideas: 
  • Getting rid of Jeff: Good Idea.  He creeps me out.  It disturbs me that he is from my hometown.
  • Bentley leaving now: Good Idea.  Especially since the initial previews made it look (to me) like he was going to hang around to the very end and then go into super-jerk mode.  At least he's gone early.
  • Giving William a second chance: Good Idea.  Because even if he didn't handle it so well, he did seem sincerely sorry.  Although, I'm pretty sure I passed William jogging on my apartment complex walking trails today (it looked JUST like him!!!), so perhaps that doesn't work out.
  • Dramatic shot of burning mask at the end: Good Idea.  Because there is no circumstance where dramatic filming of a burning mask is NOT a good idea.

These are my thoughts.  What are yours?
