Is anyone watching the hot mess, The Bachelorette&quot

I know you are! Flexi? Scarlett? Carmen? What up with this drama with Wes?? And is Jillian as dumb as she appears? Discuss. :P

P.S. Am I the only one who hasn't been invited to the Hamptons or Fire Island this weekend?

No...am watching Intervention. Another total hot mess.

(and people know better than to invite me to the Hamptons on a holiday weekend. I'd rather poke hot needles in my eyes)

Agreed. I will only go to the Hamptons before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. But, hell, I'd like an invitation!

Agreed.

...and I'd like to be invited without having to watch The Bachelorette

Well, then, you are wiser than I!

i watch the bachelorette, but i'm not thrilled with any of the final choices. and that she can't see what an asshole that guy wes is totally frustrates me.

She seems to be a celebrity-whore - she was thrilled to pieces to see Wes' band and she said something afterwards about how they might end up together right around the time that his CD was going to launch and how cool that would be (or something or other).

The rest of the guys are boring. At least Tanner P was funny to watch!

tanner was such a freak.

AND that whole scene with jake calling tanner? wtf?

I want to know why Wes is still on the show. I no longer like Jillian. She is a fool. One of the guys let go this week seemed gay anyhow. So good call on that.

Hey, I'm all in for planning a trip to the Hamptons!

i've actually never been to the hamptons.

which guy, the break dancer?

Me either.

THe other one in the vest.

the one whose family owns the winery?

i can't believe jillian is really just some interior designer who was on the bachelor. i want to know the real story.

and it all seems far more scripted than any other of the versions.

Here's an interview with Laurel, Wes' (alleged) girlfriend. Note how many "bachelors" from The Bachelor she has dated:

Here's an interview with Jake (the guy who told Jillian about Wes):

P.S. Chris Harrison's blog can be pretty funny, too (yes, so I'm reading ridiculous stuff on the 'net, lately - so sue me!):

who do you think will take home the prize?

I found out that supposedly during one of the earlier episodes where they show scenes from the season (before anyone knows who any of the bachelors are), that Ed and Kypton (sp?) look to be the final two.

I always miss the first hour of the show but the blog below mentions that Kypton is arrogant and smug towards. Jillian. I haven't seen that but he does seem a bit cold (and I heard his parents were rude to Jillian). I can't imagine Ed proposing when they barely know each other. However (spoiler alert), I've heard that someone comes back to propose (Jake? Michael? Drunk rageoholic, Dave?)!!!

This blog on EW is pretty snarky and funny. They also have videos of "The Doll Bachelorette" where they use Barbie dolls to re-enact scenes. I don't find it amusing but others might be. Here's the blog and videos:

This line from Harrison's blog is classic: "Apparently there are many who are just jealous of all that Wes possesses."

i didn't think kyptin's parents were rude to jillian at all. i thought all the families were really nice to her. then again, all the families are blurring together at this point.

who could come back to propose? tanner the pervert? i'd say michael the break dancer (if you call that break dancing).

Who do you think is going home tonight? I think Wes is the one who won't be able to perform and will be going home.

it has to be wes, because she didn't have all night dates with the others except ed. (i missed the first hour... fill me in!)

i hope she sends wes home, or kip. i'm waffling between ed or reid for the final two

She just gave Wes the boot. He's going home tonight (it's about time). She just said she's so sure about who she is sending home. (What an ass - he just said he's going home to have lots of sex!)

I guess that means that one of the final 2 (3?) guys will be the one who can't perform.

Here's the message boards on abc.com:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelorette/index?pn=mb&cat=197880

are you watching a tv that's five minutes ahead of mine?

No, just because of her reaction to what he said at dinner and her response, "Let's skip it" about the fantasy suite.

ok, now she did it.

i need tat dress she's wearing, just about a foot longer

Yeah, same here. She looks good in it but keeps fidgeting and tugging at it.

Who do you think she should be with?

ed. i'm loving ed.

and wes in the limo? wtf? far more of an asshole than i ever thought.

and what was with that teaser?

I used to like Ed but I'm starting to think he is boring as hell (he certainly had little of substance to say tonight and what's with the monotone?). Also, he talks to her and doesn't make eye contact. Whenever she and Reid get together they have nothing to say so they kiss instead. And Kiptyn (however, you spell such an effeminate name!) doesn't seem to care all that much about her. I don't think any of the final 3 are good matches for her and if she ends up with one I don't think it's going to last.

And, yeah, wtf with that teaser?? She's crying and sad and freaked out.

Can't wait until "After the Final Rose" though when everyone hates on Wes! That dude better not sell 1 CD.

he will sell tons of CDs

Yeah, you're probably right He'll be on all the talk shows saying that his statements on the show were taken out of context or edited wrong.

FYI about Wes from the message board (who knows if it's true):

"I managed him for 5 years and spent a lot of my money on him but he was more interested in drinking and girls and not his music. I was more interested in him being a hit more than he was.

I can not tell you how many times he did not show up for shows because he was drunk or in jail.

His Dad, (God Rest His Soul) died from alcohol about 10 yrs. ago. The family you saw was his step mom and real mom. They love to smoke pot together.

I can't believe his new manager thought this would be good for his music, now the world knows what a low lofe he really is.

The show really made him out to be a star, but he is not in any way. Stars don't play dive bars and the are not selfish."
