Tonight's episode is the pre-finale snarkfest where the girls get to harsh on each other and on the Bachelor. The
girls are particularly hard on Susan for her interest in acting. I have no idea if she had feelings for Travis or not
but she sure is a pretty crier. She could give lessons on how to weep and still look like a perfect little princess.
When Canadian Sarah takes the stage, Jennifer once again leads the attack. While some of the girls look a bit
Hollywood-ed up post-Bachelor, young Sarah looks a little less cute and seems a lot more hard-edged than she was when
flirting with Dr. Bland. And of course we have to revisit the Ali G. "reproduction" incident.
Unfortunately, for what I think is the first time, a Bachelorette doesn't show up. Even though Dr. Ali isn't there, the
girls take the opportunity to take a brief swipe or two at her. Overall though, no one gets treated as badly as Susan.
In other seasons, the Bachelor has often seemed a bit predatory but this season the women seems very protective of the
square-jawed doctor. In the intro, Chris says that the women went wild for this season's Bachelor like never before. Is that really true? Is Dr. Bland that inspiring? I'd think that Andrew Firestone with his pedigree and winery or even hunkalicious Aaron was more of a draw. When Travis shows up not a lot happens. He apologizes to Susan and explains to Canadian Sarah that the fact that she didn't remember what happened during their camping trip (because she was tipsy) was what doomed her. This guy is the dullest interview ever.
In discussing the final two, Chris points out that viewers are rooting for Moana even though the girls don't like her. The girls are still angry over Moana's competitiveness and volatile personality. Oddly enough Susan comes to her defense saying that she was jealous and Jennifer chimes in. The girls say that after watching the show and seeing her "softer side" they now like her better. Next Monday we finally get to find out if it's good girl Sarah or the sultry and sensitive Moana that walks off into the sunset with Dr. Bland. I still can't call it. He seems like he is more attracted to Sarah but Sarah is a much better fit as the "doctor's wife."

Those women are brutal!! I wasn't sure who wanted more media attention, Susan or Jenny. I love how the "egg" girl didn't show. Classy move from Travis asking that we all leave her alone...ummm, NO :)

The more and more The Bachelor plays up Moana, the more I think Sarah wins. They shows a few clips last night where it looks like Travis actually likes her. The clips of him being silly were far more entertaining than anything we saw all season.
The one thing I can tell is Travis doesn't like cattiness or female drama. He didn't really want to hear what was going on in the house but the women would drag him into it. He was defending each and every woman last night too. Again, a plus for Sarah because other than a few comments when being asked point blank by the producers, probably after a glass or two of wine, she wouldn't gossip either.
I love the Tara comment "I don't know much but I can drink!" That should be on T-Shirts.
I think Travis and Moana do have a connection but they are from different worlds. Travis doesn't seem like a risk taker to me and after much thought, he will pick Sarah. Plus like I said, Bachelor has been down playing her all along so that is always a sign.

I think Travis is very bland, pure vanilla. His time on this past week's show was unbelievably fast and uneventful. I thought Susan came across as quite classy and recovered well after the being target no. 1 for the mudslinging. Jennifer, Jehan, Shiloh acted like 7 year olds. Displayed themselves as very catty and insecure in their attacks. Kristen was an uplifter, way too much personality for him. One thing i do have to say about all the bachelor shows, every season, is the word amazing is said WAY too many times. It has become insulting! can't the producers try and persuade the cast to use other adjectives, duh!

seems that most people were fixated upon learning that the Susan edds character from the bachelor wanted to be an actress. Looks like her film debut is now for sale on eBay. what do you think ?
