Hello lovelies! Are you as excited for Andi's season of The Bachelorette as I am?? In my opinion, any girl who is strong and sassy enough to stand up to whiny Juan Pablo and tell him off about how he treats women deserves a season of her own to find love! We finally get to see the start of her adventure tomorrow night! Fasten your seat belts...I think it will be a wild ride. ;)
I can't tell you how happy I am to be back to blogging about the show. I have lots of fun things planned, including a Bachelorette viewing party next month in Toronto! If you're in the GTA (or out of the area like I am!), and want to come out for a night of fun and dishing about the show, stay tuned for details! I'll be posting an invite on Facebook and Twitter this week! Mark June 23 in your calendars! It will be a fun girl's night out.
I'll keep this short and sweet for now, but I will have a full blog post about the season premiere and Andi's delicious bachelors on Tuesday. Make sure to tune in for the premiere tomorrow night at 9:30 PM EST on ABC (City TV in Canada). I know a lot of people weren't aware the show started tomorrow, so I wanted to remind you just in case!
That's all for now. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the premiere, Andi, the bachelors, and who you think are the early studs and duds of the season (lol). Dishing about the show is one of my favorite things, and I know many of you love to do this, as well.
Until next time...xo

Secrets, Lies, and Cowboy Boot Camp, Oh My! Someone's Got Some 'Splainin' To Do...
Hello lovelies! Isn't it sweet how all the bachelors swear they have come on the show to find love, they're here for Des, and ready for a lifetime commitment? Clearly, some people will say anything to get onto a reality show! Saddle up, fill up your watering can with your bevvy of choice, and get your kickers on. This week's episode looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride! ;)
It's week three of The Bachelorette, which is a good time to start bringing out secrets some of the bachelors may be keeping from Des. The one Brian has been hiding is a doozy, but we'll get to that later. First. we have a date card that brings a group of the bachelors into a dodgeball battle against each other! The National Dodgeball League teaches the guys how to play the game, which will help when Des tells them they will battle it out on two teams. The winning team will get private time with her later.
The first major injury of the season takes place when Brooks breaks his finger, and is taken to the hospital to get it realigned. In the end, Des allows both teams to come along to the afterparty, so she can continue getting to know all of the bachelors. Brad privately mentions to Des that he has a three year-old son named Maddox, and his ex pulled him into a domestic violence situation, but the charges were dismissed.
Not to be outdone by the other bachelors, Brooks heads to the party after his trip to the hospital, which makes Des insanely happy and relieved! The rose eventually goes to Chris, who gets private time with Des, as well as a private concert with Kate Earl. I don't recall this guy saying more than three words to Des in the previous episodes, but I'm glad he was able to have some quality time with her.
The next day, Des is getting ready for her one-to-one date with Kasey, when the phone rings, It's Chris Harrison (dun dun dun!!!) calling with news of one of the bachelors having a girlfriend, and she needs to come to the mansion to confront him. Des takes Brian outside to speak with him privately, asking if there is anything he wants to tell her. Brian says nothing, and Chris comes out with Brian's girlfriend Stephanie to have the throwdown of the season.
To spare everyone from reading all the details, they were still together the night before Brian left to film the show, and he told her he needed time apart from her. She had no idea he was going to be on The Bachelorette. To add another layer to this crazy story, Stephanie used to date Craig Robinson from Ali's season of The Bachelorette, and was a Playboy Playmate! Talk about trying to boost ratings!
Needless to say, Des kicked Brian out, and had to get ready for her 1:1 date with Kasey. If this was the real world, there is no way any woman would want to go on a date with anyone after another guy blatantly lied to her about being single, and wanting to be there for her and to potentially fall in love and get engaged. They end up going on the date, which involves dancing on the side of the building. I was as interested in this date as Des was, as it's obvious she's not in the mood to be on a date with anyone at this point. The date was brutal from start to finish, and even though Kasey gets a rose, it's clear they are in the friend zone at this point. I don't see Kasey going too much further after this.
The next day, Des meets with the members of the second group date, which involves 'cowboy boot camp'. Des is dressed in a gorgeous purple gown, and explains that they will be working with the stunt team from the new movie 'The Lone Ranger'. The bachelors will learn how to lasso, draw pistols and fight for justice. The person who does the best job of saddling up to save the lady wins time with Des later.
I have to say that this was hilarious to watch, and a few of the bachelors stood out for me. Dan was a trooper when his pants split while he was competing, but he kept going. He gets props for that! Joan Pablo did everything while speaking Spanish the entire time. What woman doesn't love a sexy accent!? Des obviously did, as she chose him to be her Lone Ranger in the end! The two watched a private advance screening of The Lone Ranger movie and shared some smooch time. One thing is for sure...this little Spaniard is muy caliente! Later in the evening, James gets the rose from the group date.
The next day, Des throws a pool party for the guys, which replaces the cocktail party that was supposed to happen later in the evening. Before Des gets inside the house, Ben steals her away for a private ride in the Bentley, and some extra time with her. The guys see them kissing in the car later, and are jealous of the extra time he keeps getting with Des. To add insult to injury, Ben lies about the private time with Des, and Mikey calls him out on it. He tells Ben that he doesn't trust him.
Brandon spends his time with Des telling her that he doesn't want to see her get hurt, and that he's fallen in love with her already. Ummm...Brandon...didn't you get the memo? You leave this until you make the final three!! This to me is the kiss of death! If this was poker, I would say you never show anyone your cards, and you keep that poker face on as long as you can!
Finally, it's time for the rose ceremony. For those of you keeping score, Chris, Kasey, and James already have roses. The final roses are given to Bryden, Juan Pablo, Zak W., Brooks, Drew, Zach K., Brad, Michael G., Mikey, and Ben. Brandon looks like he's going to be sick, and Des follows him out to tell him privately that there was no chemistry. It was better to send him home now, instead of waiting until later. Dan is also sent home, who thinks Des has been completely duped by Ben.
Well, that episode was filled with secrets, lies and battle lines drawn! I can't wait to see what happens next time. We have seen a lot of roses being handed out already...now it's time to win some of your own! Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (http://www.rockychoc.com/) has kindly offered a prize of long stemmed red chocolate roses to one lucky reader! To win, you need to post a comment at the bottom of this post, telling me the worst experience you ever had on a date! This prize is only for GTA residents, as you need to pick up the prize at the Square One location (or you can work out an arrangement with me, and I can meet you to deliver it!). Make sure to follow Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory on Twitter (@rcmf_chocolate)! The contest will be open until Friday, June 21. Good luck!

Wedding Gowns, Rap Videos, and Road Trippin'...First Dates, Bachelorette-Style!
Welcome back! Hope you're enjoying the new season so far. Sorry for the delay in posting. Life can get a little crazy, and things sneak up on us. I spent some time in the naughty corner to make up for it, and am back to dish with you on the first dates! Grab your bevvies...here we go!
I liked that Des chose Brooks for the very first 1:1 date. Brooks hasn't had as much airtime as some of the other bachelors in the house, so it's nice to see him get some private face time with Des. I'm not sure about going to a wedding gown shop to start off the date trying on tuxedos, but if he didn't run away screaming at the sight of Des modeling bridal gowns, he just might be a keeper!
I do need to say that I'm disappointed in how so many of the previous season's dates/locations are being recycled on newer seasons of The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I'm sure the show can try to come up with more original things to see/do for the couples on the dates! The Hollywood sign dates have popped up several times, as has dinner on a blocked off bridge. I love the Bachelor shows, but let's try to step it up a bit by choosing other places for them to hang out on dates!! You have a private jet, helicopter, and Bentley...take them on a new adventure! OK, rant's over...back to the date...:)
Despite the recycled date locations, it's obvious there is a lot of chemistry between these two. They're both laid-back and clearly enjoyed each other's company. I'm sure Brooks is happy that he got the first kiss of the season! If anyone is keeping tabs on the kisses for this season, let me know. I'm sure a TON of them will be given to this little cutie, since he was offered a rose on the date.
Date number two for the week was a video shoot with Soulja Boy. Let's be honest...how many people thought a paper cut would be more comfortable for some of the guys, as opposed to starring in a rap video? That was about as painful to watch as getting a root canal without Novocaine! Who did you think gave the best performance during the video shoot?
I'll be totally honest...the only memorable thing about this group date was when Ben stole Des mid-chat with Mikey to get more alone time with Des, and Mikey pulled him aside to talk about what had happened. We know this show is all about drama and ratings, and this is setting the stage for more drama in future episodes. It worked in his favor, as Des offered him the rose. Ben is clearly becoming a thorn in the side of many of the guys in the house, and I am looking forward to the fireworks in the future!
Did anyone else think that Brandon is very much like Kasey Kahl from Ali's season? I think he would do anything to "guard and protect' Des' heart, too! Let's see if he ends up sneaking off to a tattoo parlor in a future episode.....;)
The final date of the week is a road trip with Bryden to check out a few sites in California. Again, a lot of cheesey locales, until they hit the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa (now we're talking!) Finally, a hot tub scene sneaks in, and takes the date up a notch. There's only so much you can get out of running through an orange grove and trying to fly a kite on the beach. While I appreciated Bryden opening up to Des about the terrible car accident he was in after college, I'm not sure it was something you need to share on a first date. I was also surprised he pulled out the scary hospital pictures! It was a bit TMI for me...but fortunately for him, Des gave him the rose.
Finally, it's time for the cocktail party, and more drama involving Ben. I thought he was such a great guy in the first episode, but it's obvious that he's not opposed to stepping on a few toes (or people!) to get more time with Des. I guess the old saying rings true on this show..."All's fair in love and war"! Ben is very quickly becoming Public Enemy Number One, and doesn't care that he already has a rose. He wants more face time, even though there are still several bachelors who want more time to convince Des why she should offer them a rose later. You could tell Mikey wanted to throw a case of whoop-ass on Ben, after he interrupted his time with Des. I can't wait to see them battle it out down the road!
Rose ceremony time finally comes, and with three roses already secured, Des makes her choices:
James, Kasey, Dan, Juan Pablo, Brad, Chris, Brian, Zak W., Drew, Mikey, Zach K., Michael, and Brandon. Will, Nick, and Robert were sent home. If you follow Des on Twitter, it turns out Robert used to date Des' roommate, so his days were already numbered!
OK, time for another giveaway! Jacob's Creek (http://www.jacobscreek.ca/home) has very kindly offered a prize pack for me to give to one lucky reader! To win, you need to post a comment below, telling me which bachelor gave the best performance in the Soulja Boy video shoot, AND what song you would perform if you were going to star in your own video shoot! I will announce a winner on Thursday, June 20. Good luck! Make sure to follow Jacob's Creek on Twitter (@JacobsCreekCA), and tweet along with them every Monday night during the Bachelorette, using the hashtag #MoscatoMonday! :)

A Cali Cinderella Love Story Begins! Season Premiere of the Bachelorette...:)
Hello everyone! I'm baaaaack! It's been a long time coming, but welcome back to the Bachelorette, and my blog. I have missed dishing about the show, and interacting with everyone who has read my posts and given me wonderful feedback. Sorry for the delay in the first post, but better late than never! Let's get this party started!
Let me start by saying that I love the fact that Desiree is this season's Cinderella. She has all of the characteristics needed for a wonderful Bachelorette. She's beautiful, smart, fun, easy-going, and has a fantastic personality. She also has a crazy brother that tips the scales of drama, but we can discuss that in future blog posts. Take away all of the cheesy elements at the beginning of the episode (driving up to the house, her being overwhelmed by all the luxury given to her for the season, the roller skating on the Boardwalk), and you have a nice girl about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. I don't think she had any clue regarding what would take place on the first night at the mansion!
Let's dive right in and dish/hiss about the 25 bachelors who rolled up in limos to meet Des. I won't talk about all the men...just the ones who made me smile, gag, and call the boys in straightjackets to come scoop up the psychos! Here are my most memorable bachelors from the first night:
Brooks - What a cutie! I loved that he was nervous when he met Des. It's nice when a man doesn't try too hard to make a first impression.
Bryden - So sweet and grounded. It's a quality that is really endearing.
Kasey - The social media guy who created hashtags for Des (#perfectbachelorette). My hashtag for him - #getalife #gohomenow #tryonlinedating
Mikey - Spoke to Des about coming from a close knit family. We know this is always something that is attractive to people on these shows.
Jonathan - The "Fantasy Suite" guy. Let me create a hashtag for this guy - #freakonaleash #gohomenow #haveanotherdrink
Zak - The shirtless wonder. The man may have abs of steel, but he also has a target on his back with the other guys. His jump in the pool keeps him on the show for at least another week, thanks to Des giving him a rose.
Larry - I named him "Creepy Larry". Any guy who rips a girl's dress on the first night isn't going to last very long. #byebyelarry
Micah - I love that he took a page from Des from her season of The Bachelor, and designed his own outfit! It won't make it into Men's Vogue, but he gets props for creativity!
Nick - The magician who should have kept the rose he gave to Des for himself, since he didn't get one later. Maybe try asking her what her sign is instead...;)
Diogo - The knight in shiny armour. News flash...that only worked in A Kight's Tale. Next time, wear a suit, and just be yourself.
Ben - By far my favorite entrance of the night! Bringing along his son Brody to give Des a flower as he stepped out of the limo was priceless. Shame Brody didn't get the 'First Impression' rose, and stick around for the cocktail party! I'm sure they could have found a sippy cup for him. :)
As everyone was fighting for time with Des during the cocktail party, I wondered (as I usually do at the start of each season of the Bachelor franchise of shows) where they found some of these crazy people! I know many of them are on the show to up the crazy factor and increase ratings, but I was hoping for more balance for this season. I would have sent most of the guys packing that first night, just like Des kicked Jonathan to the curb when he tried to take her into a suite to be alone . Since the show runs for a few months, and Des needs to keep a large portion of the group, here's how the rose ceremony went down:
Ben, Zak, Bryden, Drew, Michael, and Nick M - already received roses prior to the rose ceremony
Remaining bachelors to receive roses:
Brandon, Zach K., Will, Brooks, Juan Pablo, Brad, Kasey, James, Robert, Brian, Dan, Chris, Mikey
I'm sorry this post was so late, but my week was pretty crazy! I'm excited to announce that I will have several giveaways this season! The first one is for a set of amazing lip balms from KonaKare (http://www.konakare.com/), a fantastic company from Ontario that I LOVE! I use their Chocolate Peppermint lip balm, and my lips feel incredibly soft! The lucky winner of this prize will have pucker-ready lips, just in time to watch Des pucker up in future episodes.
To win this prize, post a comment below telling me who which bachelor you think Des will kiss first, and who made your list of favorites during the premiere! I will announce the winner on Wednesday night (June 5). Good luck! If you're on Twitter, make sure to follow KonaKare (Twitter handle @konakareinc).
Thanks for your support, messages and feedback! I can't wait to see what happens on the first dates! Until next time...xo

I'm sorry this post was so late, but my week was pretty crazy! I'm excited to announce that I will have several giveaways this season! The first one is for a set of amazing lip balms from KonaKare (http://www.konakare.com/), a fantastic company from Ontario that I LOVE! I use their Chocolate Peppermint lip balm, and my lips feel incredibly soft! The lucky winner of this prize will have pucker-ready lips, just in time to watch Des pucker up in future episodes.
To win this prize, post a comment below telling me who which bachelor you think Des will kiss first, and who made your list of favorites during the premiere! I will announce the winner on Wednesday night (June 5). Good luck! If you're on Twitter, make sure to follow KonaKare (Twitter handle @konakareinc).
Thanks for your support, messages and feedback! I can't wait to see what happens on the first dates! Until next time...xo

A boy, his wine and some whiners...let the games begin!!
Hello lovelies! Welcome to a new season of The Bachelor. Sorry for the late start in posting these entries. 2012 has been busy for me, but I'm playing catch up now. I don't know about you, but I am already excited for all of the fireworks that have started between the ladies, and look for much more of the same in the weeks to come! Grab your bevvie of choice, and let's get this party started!
I know there have been mixed reviews on having Ben come back for a second chance at love. Why not choose someone more colorful, like Ryan, or mix it up and have William come on the show to charm the ladies? I think Ben is a safe choice and the most stable of the ones who were up for consideration. He may not be the flashiest person or had the biggest personality, but he won't be dumping the woman he chooses right after the cameras stop rolling, and I really want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Also...the man has his own winery. What's not to love about that!?
I don't want to rehash everything that happened during the premiere...most of you watched and already talked to me about what went down. I have to point out a few of the highlights of what went down when the women came to the mansion. From the minute they stepped out of the limo, the claws came out, the stilettos were sky high and the attitudes were on red alert!! Here are the ones that stood out for me:
Amber Bacon - girlfriend, dissing a guy on the first night is not the way to make a good first impression. I would have thrown you back in the limo and sent you back to BC! On what planet is that acceptable? You just stepped into asshat territory.
Brittney - bringing your grandma out of the limo first to butter up Ben was a stroke of genius! Others may have found it cheesey...I think you hit the nail on the head! Family is really important to Ben, and he totally warmed up to both of you. I'm surprised he didn't give her a rose that first night!! ;)
Monica - if you don't end up in the final four, you will definitely have a future on another reality show! Don't be surprised if the directors ask for tons of girl on girl action. Not sure if she got sucked into flirting with the girl on the couch for ratings, but I wondered how she made it through the screening process. LOL.
Courtney - there's always a model on the show, and this season is no different. Was I the only one who thought she fit the typical shallow, "I'm a model...I work all the time, I'm so busy but I'm here for love" lines? The only lines this girl wants is from a script for a major movie. The girl is there to advance her career.
Jenna - biggest crybaby on the show! I have to admit...if it wasn't for her bathroom breakdown, people would have fallen asleep before the end of the episode. I'm sure Ben will keep her around for a few more episodes...and make sure her room is stocked with tons of Kleenex. Are they a sponsor for the show? They should be!! ;)
Blakeley - this cocktail waitress looks like she's not going to make a lot of friends in the house! She has her eye on the prize and doesn't care who she needs to step over for Ben. I found out that she used to date Wes from Jillian's season of The Bacherlorette. Guess this franchise of shows really doesn't have any degrees of separation! Looking forward to more fireworks from her in the weeks to come!
Lindzi - ah, a girl and her horse! I really like her coming in on the horse! Dare to be different...it definitely worked for her!! I hope she sticks around for a while. So glad she got the first impression rose. :)
Emily - if you get the boot early, you may try a career in the rap industry! Add that to your resume...I bet the other epidemiologists can't rap like you!! That rap she had for Ben was hysterical!! She blew Kasey Kahl out of the water (remember him from Ali's season!?)
In case you don't remember who received roses at the first rose ceremony:
I was expecting some drama, fireworks and colourful outfits, and wasn't disappointed! If you want to get the scoop on the outfits the bachelorettes wear on the show, check out Possessionista's blog: http://www.possessionista.com/ . Make sure to follow her on twitter, as well (@possessionista). Her one-liners are hilarious!
That's it for now. Thanks for all of your tweets and comments. Let me know what else you would like to hear about! I'm going to be revamping my site soon, and hope to plan a few fun local events during the season. Hope to see you there!!
Until next time...xoxo

A New Season, A New Bachelorette...And a Masked Bandit!? Welcome Back to Crazyville!!
Hello party people! What a season premiere!! I was wondering if I was watching The Bachelorette, the new Batman movie, or a scene out of Animal House! The drama meter was on high alert, a masked bandit was on the prowl, the drinks were flowing a little too much for one tipsy bachelor, and Ashley was on her best behaviour for the first night in the mansion. What happens next is anyone's guess! Grab your libation of choice, and let's dive into some good old fashioned dissin' and hissin'!! ;)
First of all, let's start by saying that I think Ashley being chosen as the next Bachelorette was a surprise for many people, including me. I was hoping to see a few of the other Bachelorettes from last season in the running for this season, but as I started to watch the premiere, I saw a few things to consider. Ashley clearly has regrets about what she did during Brad's season and is very welcoming of a second chance to redeem herself. She is also fortunate enough to have her own season with a new crop of men to choose from. No doubt she'll have her own season of drama to deal with, but this is what ABC is banking on, and I can't say I blame them. As we know, it's all about the ratings and shock value.
Speaking of shock value, let's talk about the guys on the show this season! I'm not going to analyze all 25 men...you can go to the ABC website and check them out on your own. I did notice several men who stood out, and have to provide you with my fiddy cents' worth in breaking them down for you:
Ryan P - The Solar Energy Executive and the one who received the first impression rose at the cocktail party. What a cutie! There's something about him that makes me want to know more about him. Obviously, Ashley felt the same way. Otherwise, that rose would have gone to another stud!
JP - The cutie Construction Manager from NY. One look at him and I already know this guy will be around for a while. Adorable and he seems really nice. We'll see what happens!
Ames - The Portfolio Manager from NYC who has run in 39 marathons! He's the one who was hoping Ashley would be the next Bachelorette. I predict we;ll see a lot more of him, too!
Ben - The winemaker from Sonoma. Smooth move bringing out the big guns and offering her some vino as soon as her got out of the limo! I was surprised she stopped at just one glass, but I'm sure she'll be dipping into the sauce soon enough! He's adorable, and I really wanted to try his wine!!
Bentley - Ah yet, the one Ashley was 'warned' about. He's the single dad from salt Lake City with the daughter named Cozy. I'm sorry, but was I the only one wondering why the hell anyone would name their daughter something like that!? Anyway, I digress. As we saw in the previews for later this season, Bentley looks like he's going to be the ultimate douchebag to Ashley. Let's see just how badly he wants that title. I smell drama and a whole lot of trouble with this one.
Anthony - The butcher from New Jersey. OK....this guy looks like that guy who used to date the porn star Traci Lords (John Enos III). Check him out! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004897/ . I laughed when I thought of this!! This guy was so weird and awkward around Ashley, I actually felt sorry for him. Rico Suave is better off heading back to Jersey and checking out the ladies of Jerseylicious!!
West - The prosecutor. I liked him from the second he stepped out of the limo. His story is sad, but he obviously knows how to be in a committed relationship, as he was married previously (and had the wife pass away at home). I hope Ashley keeps him around for a while. The broken compass being stuck on West was cheesey, but cute at the same time. Unfortunately, he's dealing with some controversy right now regarding his wife's death. In case you haven't heard, check out the link to an article I found at the People website: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20497138,00.html . Obviously, being on a reality show like The Bachelorette, nothing is sacred, and you need to be prepared to have every hidden skeleton and secret come out in the tabloids and on TV.
William - William is the Cell Phone Salesman from Ohio with the bad track record in the dating department. He's a cutie and there's something about him that I'm sure will make Ashley keep him around for a while.
Tim - The hot mess Liquor Distributor from Kentucky. Is anyone else howling at the irony of his job title!? The guy must have dove into a barrel of hooch and snored it out on the patio! What a disaster. So not surprised she kicked his drunk ass out of the mansion. I don't think she wanted a reminder of how bad she was with the liquor during Brad's season.
Jeff - OK, saved the strangest bachelor for last. Did someone forget to tell me that a caped crusader would be on the show this season?? The guys in the house already call him Batman! The mask is so strange, and I guess for one episode, it's OK to try and see if Ashley would see through the hidden face and offer him a rose based on his personality and out of sheer curiosity. Any bets on how long Mask Boy will keep that thing on? How the hell is she supposed to try and kiss him with that mask on? Maybe we'll find out next week...same Bat time, same Bat channel!
OK, those are some of the men who stood out for me during the premiere. Let me chat for a minute about Ashley's makeover. I have to say, the long, darker hair suits her, and the stylists at ABC did a great job of making her look like a polished and attractive Bachelorette who's looking for love. The dress was beautiful, although I thought after she was picked up several times by some of the men she met, that dress was going to rip in a few places! If you are one of those people who loves to know where the Bachelorette gets her great outfits and bling, check out the Possessionista website. Dana Weiss does a great job at finding out what the labels are, what they cost and where you can find them (if they're still in stock!) http://www.possessionista.com/ . I check this site weekly, and love knowing what all of the designer labels are! It's a pretty cool site.
When Ashley showed up at the mansion prior to everyone arriving to meet her, I was surprised at how candid she was with Chris Harrison during their one-to-one chat. Clearly, the girl knows she messed up royally with all of the complaining and insecurities she aired out with Brad. Her vulnerability came through, and while I was really skeptical of her being chosen for this season, I think she will have an interesting season of her own.
I'm going to skip right to the cocktail party and the time she spends with the men. I love this part of the premiere, as you see how ridiculous things get with the men jonesing for private time with Ashley. If you don't have balls of steel and are willing to steal her away, or lucky enough to have her single you out, these poor saps were going to be SOL.
A few people stood out for me during the party. First, I loved the chemistry between Ashley and Ryan P. They are very cute together and you can tell she's into him already. The girl hasn't perfected her poker face...her interest was pretty obvious with some of the men. Mike was pretty funny with the guitar that he whipped into the pool. A little crazy, but hilarious nevertheless. William and Ashley have a great chemistry, and as I mentioned before, I hope she keeps him around for a while.
Let's dish about Ashley's time with Bentley. It's so obvious that she's attracted to this guy and questioning why she was warned about him. Once she said she was pleasantly surprised by him, I knew she would be sucked into his charms and want to keep him around for a while. The question is...for how long?
OK...let's talk about the HUGE, drunk elephant in the room...Tim! What a ridiculous, eembarrassing disaster. That guy was so wasted, frat boys looked like choir boys compared to his sloppy behaviour and snoring that would break glass. Is it any wonder that Ashley had the guys drag him out of the house and send him home to sober up and realize what a Douche Lord he was on the show!!
Here is the list of men Ashley gave a rose to after the cocktail party:
Ryan (first impression rose)
Jeff
Constantine
Ben F.
Lucas
Steven
Matt
Nick
JP
Ames
Chris D.
Ryan M
Blake
Mickey
Ben C.
West
William
Bentley
Judging by the previews, Ashley's in for a lot of fun and romance with the men and heartache and drama with Bentley!! I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see how this all plays out. I'll see you next week, when we can dish about Ashley's first dates, more drama and anything else that gets thrown into the mix. Thanks for reading the blog and for your continued support. It means a lot to me! If there is anything you want me to cover in my entries, please let me know. I love your emails and comments!

I'm Baaaaack!!! And Guess What? Ashley's Back as the Bachelorette! Here Come the Fireworks!! ;)
Hello party people! I have missed you! The last two months seemed to fly by. It seems like it was only yesterday that we saw Brad and Emily get engaged on the season finale of The Bachelor, and now we're about to see Ashley have her chance at love on the next installment of the Bachelorette.
Let's be brutally honest...I know from all the emails and comments people have sent my way that Ashley isn't everyone's first, or even second choice as the Bachelorette. She was at best a crazy train wreck with her boozy behaviour and stalkerazzi scenes with Brad and the other women. However, I have watched enough seasons of these shows to know that Mike Fleiss sees potential in some wild cat fights, drunken brawls and steamy hot tub scenes. For ABC, it's all about the ratings and shock value, and I'm sure Ashley and her harem of beefcake will rise to the occasion in this area. I have read a few of Reality Steve's blog entries, and decided very early not to follow it to the end, so I can be surprised with the end of the season like everyone else.
I will be back next week to dish all about the season premiere with you, and would love to make this blog more interactive and enjoyable for you. I welcome your suggestions and comments for this, but I also have a few fun things planned throughout the season for you. I will have some Skype chats during the season, a live blog/Bachelorette night at a venue TBD, and am working on a contest for later in the season. Stay tuned!!
As always, I want to thank you for being so supportive and receptive to my blog. What started as a fun pastime for myself and my girlfriends has blown up into something that has brought me some great friends and followers from all over the world. It's a labour of love for me, and a guilty pleasure that I am more than happy to write about. I look forward to seeing what happens starting May 23rd!! Take care, try to stay out of trouble and have a fantastic weekend!! See you next week!!
Until next time...XO
