The Bachelor New Zealand: Champagne Wishes and Mustang Dreams

WHAT A SHOCKER!!! Thankfully, Liz and I had two dear friends come over and watch the show with us. (Once again, their identities will be protected for their dignity). Here are some thoughts:

1) Some people at my office claimed Jason doesn’t live on a houseboat. They said he just lives on a house near the water that has a dock for a front walkway. This episode proved that Jason does in fact live on a houseboat.

2) Jillian shed some light on the best way to pick up a chick in New Zealand…a “chopper.”

3) Jumping hugs on fantasy dates? Check.

4) Jill says to J, “I’m crazy aboot you.” Well, we’re pretty certain aboot you being the next Bachelorette.

5) When is Jillian and Jason’s baby due? That was pretty graphic in the hot tub.

6) Molly took a “leap of faith” with Jason. Get it? Because they were bungee jumping…but also falling in love.

7) I was going to title this blog post, “Are we sexually compatible?” Then Jason said his dream car was a Mustang. We had to pause the show for aboot 5 minutes because we were all laughing so much.

8) Molly kind of looks like a jack-o-lantern. Check it out for yourself. (This observation made by our friend from Texas).

9) Nothing says romance like an awkward conversation about Winston Churchill.

10) Melissa and Jason were in the Mustang of hot tubs.

11) Jason and Melissa saw the Rocky Top Mountains of New Zealand. Didn’t realize the fantasy dates were actually in Tennessee.

12) I had a picture of Melissa all ready to go for when she inevitably got kicked off, but the producers pulled a fast one on us and got rid of Jillian. One of the more shocking non-finale endings in recent memory.

  1. Where do I begin? I was surfing the net during the tivo'd episode - break in thought warning, can you call it tivo'd if you really dvr'd it? - and noticed a friend updated their facebook status with a comment such as "The Bachelor Sucks." I turned to my wife and let her know that Jill will be cut and Mel and Moll will be hanging around. Obviously, she looks at me with disbelief and thinks I am crazy. Cut to twenty minutes later: I win.

    It was obvious. The girl who updated her facebook status was a girl. Do you think a fellow girl would be rooting for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who had to get breast reduction surgery or the impossibly preppy Molly from apparantly the last wealthy neighborhood in Michigan? No, she was rooting for the cute girl from Canada.

    Moll has to be one of the biggest favorites of all time heading into the final episode. ABC might have saved their climax for this past week because if they show him choosing Reduction Mel in a few weeks, I will refuse to watch the show as it purposely is edited to make the Bachelor/Bachelorette like anyone but who they are eventually choosing.
