One of the blondies is gone next week FOR SURE.

That has to be the explanation but why dont theese mormons vote this hard every week if they want her around for so long? And I dont think anoyne was more surprised than Carmen that she didnt go bottom three. I really hope these bloc voter people dont take a deserved victory from Ruben and hand it to someone unworthy. You should only be allowed to vote once.

Rickey only surprised me in that he did worse than Carmen. He is just way too lite FM for the kids these days and the prancing balladeer seems to have locked up the token lite FM vote. Cant have a Yanni and a Michael Bolton

And barely- why were you so convniced that this Bachelor is a total asshole? I dont see it. Is it a conclusion you drew based on the fact that he comes from an upper crust family? He actually seems like a relatively nice guy. Of course I always question how much of the things he has to say about shit like, my wife is in this room is actually scripted. Like, its safe to say, he could do better than 98% of these chicks (those I like kirsten and that Tina from Tennessee I think so far, aand Liz seems like a decent human being)

Yes, dumbass, I hate everyone from upperclass families. Luckily that means I can still hang out with you.

I think he is a tool because he has seen the previous two bachelors, knows the type of skanky/insane chicks that the producers pick to go on the show, and still decided to do the show because he knows he'll be able to score with them and look like a stud on tv but will still be able to find an excuse to dump the last one standing before he actually has to walk her skanky New Jersey (or worse, Florida) ass to the altar.

Also, you missed the first show where they showed the montage of future episodes in which he is macking on many of the women. Ick.

After last night I have more reasons to hate him. Gee, I wonder why he kept the sorority girl who got so drunk on her date that she threw up, and got so drunk at the rose ceremony that she was lying in another girl's lap? I bet he totally kept her b/c she is prime marriage material and he will be proud to bring her home to mom and dad. And way to not pick the really attractive woman who showed a modicum of good sense and tact by refusing to "rat out" the other women to him.

I hate him. That being said, of course I love the show and will continue watching. The producers know what they are doing.

????? Paigow is now saying that she is the first to state "Those with class don't talk about it?"

Wasn't she outed as an another desperate upper middle class climber yesterday? You two seem to be talking past one another, or am I being socked? Correct me if I'm wrong - I just want to get the record straight. YOU are the one who doesn't care about class. PAIGOW is the one who wants everyone to think she's rich. I assumed that was the crux of it. If I'm wrong, let me know.

And speaking of classy, did anyone else groan at the site of the gal in the besequined tricolor tank top explaining that one of the attirbutes she has that the Bacnelor might enjoy is that she is classy? Let me be the first to say that, like with attractiveness, if you have to explian you are "classy", you probably (to use the WAY overused cliche post hoc explanatino for why you drew a conclusion) "Doth Protest Too Much".

I shouldn't read the posts from last to first. Now I get it. Barely is an alleged reverse snob and Paigow wants everyone to think she's a snob so that everyone will then think she's upper crust. Its like a chicken before the egg type thing.

I had upper crust on my french onion soup yesterday. DElish.

Indeed it does, my good man.

I was just commenting to Alderidge Penniwinkle yesterday about using dElish in casual conversation. He tells me its this season's most whimsical quip.

Aldie regailed me with a horror story about how he had to move out of the neighborhood. It seems Briarcliffe Heights has been overrun with boorish Yalies. Looks like we'll have to move the gin game.

Ta ta,

Maybe we can send in the Air Force to knock out communications in certain Mormon population centers before next week's vote.

All I can say is, she dodged another bullet this week. She's the Nikki of this competition, except with less talent. I predict that it will come down to one person who is clearly most talented (Ruben) winning, with one of the lesser lights competing against him in the finals (Clay, maybe) due to some irrational people who think em has a certain I don't know what.

Unfortunately, someone more talented like Trenyce will probably not make it to the final two because of this, but in the end, cooler heads will prevail and Ruben will win.

And Paigow, I didn't draw the penis. I stole it.

No. I don't know your momma. Furthermore, I'm afraid if I make you angry, you might steal my penis.

I loved Clay. I really did. Till I saw him grinding pelvises with the worst singer in the world. If he'd been grinding against Kimberly Locke or Trenyce, I could have lived with it and respected him. But anyone who can even pretend to like the goat-voiced girl is now officially off my list. He can still redeem himself if he spits on her in next week's episode, but somehow I just don't see that happening.

I'm hopping on the Ruben train with Paigow. I am fickle, but so what? At least I'm not Mormon. (sorry tmdiva)

[purse junkie]

I can draw but would have no idea how to post it so anyone else could access it. And do you all actually want it to look suspiciously like a guy's package, or not? (My parents would be so proud if my drawing were chosen.)

And is anyone else watching sorority life? WTF is with stick-up-her-ass arbiter-of-all-correct-sorority-girl-behavior Maggie? Why is it she can't tolerate anyone having a life outside of that bitchy nasty house and feels the need to rat people out for having fun?

If she were born a little earlier and in a different country, she'd've made a great little Stasi informant.

And cut Paigow some slack on the 'class' issue. If she really is that obsessed about it, she either really is from that part of CT, in which case she should have our sympathy, or she's a downtrodden wealthy-but-from-Westchester wannabe.

That's ESPN's Barry Melrose, naturally. The bigger issue is, Not Bob, do you have a mullet?

No, I am Not Mulleted, NTTAWWT.

Well, I was right yet wrong about the Leafs v. Flyers game last night. It was forgotten man Alex Mogilny instead of Owen Nolan who notched a trifecta, seeing more red lights than Slave on a trip to Amsterdam.

After watching bits of the New Jersey v. Boston game, I may nominate the Devils (cue Puddy from Seinfeld in full face red make-up screaming "DEVILS!") as a possible Eastern Conference champ. In law, it's all about the Benjamins. In playoff hockey, it's all about the goaltending, and Mar-tan was amazing last night. For a pure goaltending matchup, a Colorado v. New Jersey final would be the way to go.

Pursie,

Its a matter of principle. We can't have the proles running about acting as if they're landed gentry. Sometimes, they just need to be reminded that everyone knows they're transparant.

Think of it as maintenance work, like having the pool done this Spring,

Where did Mogilny play before Toronto? I'm sure I've hated him in the past, but I get the feeling he was wearing a different sweater at the time.

I missed the 2nd period, where apparently the Flyers played well, but overall I felt they were pretty sloppy.
