Since we were MIA for episode one, I’ll jump in with this week’s show.
Doesn’t Ames still look like he just got punched in the head and is kinda doing the dazed grin all the time. But seems to be a nice guy.
I did NOT see that coming with him walking back, pausing, thinking, doing the little wave, and then running. It was really really sweet and I might have gone back and watched it twice… maybe.
I don’t know Melissa as I didn’t watch that season, but I do feel for her. Blake made kissy face and then headed back to the house to flirt with Holly. It is so very very high school. I know he was all “a woman that age acting that way” but if she thought he liked her and she thought they had a connection then it seems to follow that she’d expect it to carry on at the house. Plus, do they then spend the night on the boat if they get the rose? (Or wherever they are.) Now with all that said, when she started going off about having to recover after that one epiosde of her season I figured she had a frequent fligher package on Crazy Air Express.
OMG I’m read to kill Kasey and Vienna. Kasey’s dillusions have been fed by Vienna so now he actually thinks he is all that plus a bag of chips. He thinks he is a player, he thinks he is badass, he thinks he is the Godfather. HOLY SWEET MURPHY!
Kasey is that socially awkward guy in school. But he developes some bravado to get through it all. Then suddenly someone gives him positive strokes (talks to him at the locker, tries to help him fit in a little better, invites him to a party) and suddenly that bravado turns into DICKHEAD. I can just remember times when I’d feel bad for someone at school because they were getting picked on, but then once they felt like they had any power at all they’d be assholes since they either thought that was how everyone expects powerful guys to be, or they were always secretly an asshole deep down inside, or because they were so messed up from being bullied and shoved in lockers that their brains can’t handle now being ‘popular’ even though it isn’t a real popularity.
If those three guys and girls from last season batchelor pad were on the show this season Kasey would be locked in the outhouse. This season was specifically built without power couples so we could watch Vienna and Kasey act like fools. And I’m pissed that the other normal(ish) people there aren’t coordinating themselves to get them out. I think Gia left because it was like bad high school all over again. But this time it wasn’t the jocks and cheerleaders but the band geek and his weirdo girlfriend who (deep down inside) you believe might just cut you if you say anything to her.
I love love love that Chris called Vienna out.
Notice how when they are the bachelor and bachelorette they get treated with respect (I mean, they are treated like full on humans and as representatives of the show if they are the central person, and the potential mates are treated well if they are seriously in the running…) but once they go to bachelor pad they are fodder for mocking by the show. It is like “hey, you decided to be on our version of Big Brother and are no longer running for royalty - you are now drama llama ratings my friends: sleep around, be a douche, be insane, we LOVE IT!”
