Real World is getting better

I missed last episode of the Real World, but I certainly watched the one that just aired on Wednesday. In my earlier blogs, I was questioning whether or not this Real World was going to get more interesting or not. Well I’m happy to say that it definitely got more interesting.
The first drama has to do with Josh. He has a girlfriend back home (which is only about a couple hours away) and they have been together for about two years. Well he obviously needs a lot of female attention because it seems like every other night he has a different girl at the house. So instead of “cheating” on her, he calls her and breaks up with her so he can be with this other girl. That is a definition of a scumbag in my opinion. I think these girls who come to the house are just as bad, they only want to be on television, because Josh or any of the guys in the house are nothing special.
The other thing with Josh that makes me laugh is the fact that he thinks he is a “Rock star”. One he can’t sing, and two your in a band that isn’t famous and he just sucks. I can’t believe none of his roommates or band members tell him he his tone deaf.
The other drama is between Ty and Emily. They aren’t anything anymore and Ty has a lot of animosity towards Emily because she wants nothing to do with him. Well ty has a drinking problem and gets sort of violent with her (nothing to big, but he does shove her pretty hard, which is unacceptable). He just gets really drunk and just goes off on her and she just takes the high road and ignores it and doesn’t react. I think he needs some drinking classes so he can get that under control.
Now we have Erica. Well she is a drama queen and is very dependent of a man. She pretty much just stalks her boyfriend and calls him a million times a day. Once she is talking to him, she has to question him about girls. It just gives women a bad name, she shouldn’t be dependent on a man, and she needs to be independent women. The episode ended with Andrew getting shoved off the banister outside by Ty, and the ambulance ends up coming, next week we will see what goes down.

Flower Power

The latest episode of Shear Genius was an interesting one to say the least. The first challenge was a flower challenge. The stylists had to incorporate their flower they had picked into a hairstyle. Some of them were terrible, but others were very good. The best hair style I would have to say was by Brian. He just took a big leaf and but it in the back and put like a face mask in her hair for the texture. It was very simple, but very nice. The second part of the show was the elimination challenge. Tabitha who won Shear Genius last season and the star of her show “Tabitha’s Salon Takeover” was the guest judge for the elimination challenge. Their challenge was to do the hair of bridesmaids for the wedding reception. They already had the wedding, but they wanted a more modern hair style for the reception. Each bridesmaid was able to tell their stylists what they wanted their hair to look like and the stylists had to try to make it look like what they wanted. Some of the clients were easy to work with while others were very difficult to work with and wouldn’t trust their stylists. Once all of the hair was done they all went to the wedding reception and their hairstyles were shown and they were judged to decide who the Shear Genius was and who had to leave the show. The Shear Genius of the episode was Brian; we worked really well with his client and gave her exactly what she wanted. The loser we Adee, he did nothing to his clients hair except curl it, even though that is what she wanted, he could have at least tried something else to her hair, he had enough time.

The Girls Tell All

This week on the Bachelor it was when all the girls who were eliminated throughout the season reunite and explain what all went down when they were on the show. We also got to see Jake and see some funny never before seen footage. The biggest controversy on Bachelor history was about Roslyn and how she entered an inappropriate affair with one of the producers. Before she came out about four girls told them what they had seen while filming the show, and they wouldn’t just make it up. When Roslyn was brought on stage, Chris (the host) continued to ask her about it and of course she completely denied it and acted like an idiot. She said that all the girls were lying and that they never had physical contact. She then goes to state that after she was kicked off the show and the producer was fired he went and visited her in her hometown. Which to a lot of people it didn’t make sense and is a little suspicious. No other producer visited any other women after they were eliminated. She just looked dumb on national television; because we all know she is a liar.
Once Jake came out Chris asked him if he was happy with his choice in the end (they couldn’t tell us who won obviously since it hasn’t aired), but Jake said he was happy so that must mean that everything is working out for him right now.
Next week is the big week I hope Tenley wins!

Tool Academy

The third season of Tool Academy aired last week. This show focuses on different couples and the guys are the tools. But on this season there is one girl and girl couple, which is different than any other season. They don’t treat their girlfriends with respect and will do whatever they want and they don’t care about their girlfriends feelings at all. It is quite sad that these girls are treated like this. This episode focuses on fidelity. The men were in a room with a hidden camera and women were in the room and he completely was flirting with them and then acting like he didn’t have a girlfriend. It is also showing video tape of the men cheating on their girlfriends and saying rude things. At the end of the show one tool will be eliminated who they think doesn’t have any chance of ultimately changing. The girls will wait outside to see if their tool boyfriend is eliminated. If they are the girl can either leave with him and go back home or she can leave him and dump him. I mean these guys are complete scum bags and I wonder why these girls even bother dating these guys, I feel sorry for them.
A lot of these guys I think have some insecurities and obviously don’t know how to treat a lady. One of these guys is on the show is actually married and he had the nerve to say that he wasn’t with anyone. Now she needs to get a clue and move on and file for a divorce, because that’s not fair.
The season still has a lot of time left and I can’t wait to see who wins and who stays together.

7 Eleven undercover Boss

The CEO of the gas station 7 eleven and he is going to different stores and doing the different jobs that continue to make his company profitable. The first job he did was going to a gas station and helped an employee named Dolores out with the coffee. He was very impressed on how humble and good she was to the customers. She knew a majority of the customers and if she didn’t she was defiantly going to get to know them.
The next job he goes to is the bakery where they make all of the pastries for the gas station. He is working with a guy named Phil, who he finds very respectable. They have something in common; they were both in the military.
The next job he does was working the night shift at the gas station. He realizes that they are throwing so many donuts and bagels away and he doesn’t like that idea at all. He also realizes that doing the night shift is extremely hard, because you are cleaning and getting ready for the next day.
The other job he goes to is just a store and he wants to see the communication between the corporate office and the store. He realizes that the communication isn’t what it needs to be and he takes the necessary action.
The end of the show ends with telling the employees he has worked with who he really is and of course does great things for the employees for all their hard work.

when to Step In-Review Post

Well since my blogs are all about reality television, I figured I would go out on the web and take a look at different articles that have to talk about the reality TV. The article I decided to review was from the New York Times. You can find the website by clicking this link http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/08/business/media/08reality.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
This article has to do with when the show gets to become to real. It talks a lot about the show Intervention. Intervention is when they are documenting someone with some sort of addiction (without them knowing, thinking they are just doing a documentary, not an intervention). During the whole episode it gets real, you see them do what they do, such as drinking, doing drugs or huffing. The cameras are always rolling and we see them in some of the worst states of a lifetime. The question is when do producers and camera crew have to step in during shows like this. It is hard to know when to cross that line because ethically and morally you want to stop someone from drinking and driving, but you can’t make them not drive, they are going to do what they want. Producers may feel like they need to step in and sometimes they do just so they don’t cause harm to others in the community. Another example would be MTV’s True Life. There was an episode about the behind the scenes of True Life. They said that no matter what their subject does, they aren’t able to talk to them or help them (unless it obviously is life or death). The question is always on people’s mind, when do we intervene? I know it makes great television, but I hope producers and camera crew know when to step in to help.

Housewives like Us?

A lot of the housewives are facing problems these days. This episode’s problem had to deal with Lynn and her family. They recently got a eviction notice and it is because Lynn’s husband Frank had not paid a specific amount. Lynn and her girls had no idea that this was going on. They had about three days to leave their house and Lynn and her girls went to her moms and Frank went to a hotel. It was truly heartbreaking watching them. Frank is truly sorry that he didn’t communicate with Lynn, and he just wants things to be better. I have had it with Lynn. She is a grown adult; she should be involved with her household finances especially when she likes to spend it the most. Lets see, look at her face, plastic surgery and we all know that isn’t cheap. She never has a problem spending it, so I think it is just not Frank’s fault but Lynn’s as well. They need to learn not to spend outside their means like they are used to, welcome to the real world like the rest of us.
The other drama was between Alexis and of course Vicki. I hate the fact that Vicki is in the middle of everything. I personally like her and I think she is a hard worker while those other girls don’t do anything. I know they are “mothers”, but they like to toss that word around like its nothing. Alexis has TWO nannies, but she complains on how much work being a mother is. I’m really over Alexis I think her husband is a mean arrogant man and she is a fake. This season is almost over, but we have other housewives coming to the tube in March. CAN’T WAIT!

St. Lucia Trip

Well the Bachelor is finally winding down. He took the remaining three girls to St. Lucia to spend some quality time and get to know them better. The three girls that went were Vienna, Gia and Tenely. Jake spent some one on one time with each girl and did different daily and nightly activities. After each date the girls received a note with a key that said they were allowed to stay in the fantasy sweet together. Of course all of the girls said yes! All three of the fantasy suites were pretty awesome; one even had its own private pool. They were very nice! All of the dates looked really fun, the best date I would have to say would be Gia’s. They went to the St. Lucia streets and got to explore the different music, and art of St. Lucia.
One little twist in this episode is that Ali called Jake saying she made the worst decision and regretted leaving. She asked Jake if she could come to St. Lucia. He said that it wouldn’t be far to the other girls if she got to come back. So ultimately she wasn’t able to come back.
In the rose ceremony I knew Vienna was going to get a rose, so that wasn’t a surprise but the other person who received the rose was Tenely. Gia had to go home, even though she was upset she said all she wanted was for him to be happy. I have a feeling Vienna is going to win, and honestly I really think they are good for each other. They both have this outgoing personality and they both seem to get each other. Even though most people don’t like her, they seem like the perfect fit

Janelle, The New Mommy

The Premiere of 16 and Pregnant aired tonight. This episode we got to meet a new girl, Janelle. Throughout the season we will get to meet other mamas and they all have their different dramas and their stories, and I can’t wait to meet them all.
The first girl we meet is Janelle. She is pregnant by her low- life boyfriend who her parents or friends don’t really approve of. He doesn’t have any type of income and can’t support her or the baby that is about to be born. Her mom has a lot to say about this pregnancy. She in the beginning didn’t even want her to have it, and I still don’t think she understands the baby is coming. I have a feeling her mother is going to be drama in the long run; I guess we will find out.
Janelle had her baby and he is very cute and it went well. But the problems are still happening between her boyfriend and her mom. Her mom needs to get over it and realize that this is her grand baby’s father and he is going to be in her daughter’s life regardless of her opinions. The mom is really starting to annoy me. I just wish she would get a clue and get over it. I mean I know the boyfriend is annoying and not that great, but nothing can take him out of Janelle’s life.
This couple I don’t think knows what they are getting themselves into. Parenthood, especially being a teen is hard work. And if you don’t have any money or any way of supporting the baby financially it is going to be really stressful on the parents and may cause fights between those two in the long run. I can’t wait to find out if they will last. Well I don’t like this girl, she is immature and needs to figure it out. She would rather go out with her friends than be a mom, I feel bad for the baby. She is pathetic.

Check This Post out!

I went out onto the web looking for other blog posts about reality TV. A lot of them talked about different shows that I don’t particularly talk about in my blogs. A lot of them had to deal with Survivor or Amazing Race (which I just started watching last night, and I’m coming to find out I actually like and might be blogging about it soon). I did come across on blogger who does talk about the Bachelor and as we all know I love the bachelor. The blog post I am referring can be located at http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_bachelor_14/2010_Feb_10_ali_facebook_bachelorette
Since I just discussed this last episode in one of my blogs, I thought I would promote this blog to the other readers out there who like to read my stuff. Like I stated before in a pervious blog, Ali left the show because she had to make a crucial decision about her job. She either had to stay on the show and risk not being the one for Jake and losing her job, or she could leave the show and still have a job. She left the show, which in my opinion was a great decision. This article states that she works with Facebook and has a pretty decent job with them. There are also some “rumors” going around that Ali will soon be the next bachelorette. Nothing is set in stone and nothing is signed, but if she had to leave so early this season, I wonder if she would want to leave her job all together, just to premiere as the next Bachelor. It will be interesting to find out in the future.

Hooters Boss Man

Well this episode of Undercover Boss the CEO of Hooters goes undercover and does different entry level jobs. A couple of the different jobs he does would be to be a promotion guy for hooters, where he stands on the street and tries to promote Hooters (he is standing out there with two other Hooter girls). He gets the different opinions of people on the street of what they think of Hooters. A lot of the women who they talked to said that Hooters was degrading to women due to the lack of clothing they are wearing while working. The next job that he does is the assistant manager position at Hooters in Texas. He works along side with a guy names Jimbo (who is the manger at the restaurant). Before the restaurant even opens he inspects each of the girls and checks their nails, makeup and their hair. He is very degrading to these women. The other terrible thing he does is he makes the girls “play” these games in order to get cut early. This time he makes the girls eat a plate of beans without their hands.
Another job he does is he goes to the Naturally Fresh factory. That is where they make the Hooters dressing. His dad used to be the owner there, and when he was there, the worker morale was extremely high, now days it is completely opposite. Since his dad died (the old owner) the workers don’t even know the new CEO, and he feels bad now that he hasn’t taken the time to go there and actually show his face to the workers.
At the end of the undercover week he tells the people have been working with his real identity. Jimbo was in for a rude awakening. To say the least he got called out, big time!

SHear Genuis does Food!

The first challenge was to do your models hair that has been processed and damaged and make it into very shiny and healthy hair. One of the contestants did a horrible job and it still looked damaged, he even got bleach in her eye. I’m pretty sure I would NOT be happy if someone got bleach in my eye, and then did a terrible job on my hair. The winner of the first challenge was Matthew, he has excellent color skills and that is what got him the win.
The challenge part of the show was for the hair stylists were to pick a food dish that was made by a famous chef. Once they picked their dish, they had to interpret it into a hair style. Some of the dishes ranged from scallops, cheeseburgers to even a desert dish. A lot of them turned out actually really well and they were interpreted very well. The one that I think that was the best was the scallops. The hair do was up and it had curls tucked into the bun and those curls were of a different color, like a blonde color. Oddly it really looked like scallops. The shear genius of this challenge was actually the scallops’ hair style. The judges picked the right one, because that is the one I liked!
One of my favorite contestants was in the bottom three. I thought her hair looked awesome. Sure it didn’t look like a cheeseburger like it was supposed to, but it was still a good looking hair do. I’m just glad she didn’t get eliminated.
Like every other Challenge show there must be one loser and they must go home. The loser was Arzo and her work just wasn’t shear genius.

Real World Drama

Well of course we are going to see a lot of drama. It’s the real world. Finally they are focusing on other people besides Ty and Emily. I was about sick and tired of them. Well the drama is still focused on Ashley; she seems to be in the center of drama every episode. Erica and Ashley are now fighting over who had the better parents growing up. Really I didn’t know that was a contest. Ashley doesn’t have parents that care about her, and Erica does. And since Erica does have parents Ashley feels the need to call her a spoiled brat. I know Ashley has some issues, but she is taking all of her anger out on Erica and the other roommates. She has depression, but she wants a pity party for it. Everyone has their problems, but it is how you handle them, not throwing them at someone else. I just think Ashley should listen to what she says and take her own advice. She is acting like the brat, and she just wants all eyes on her. ASHLEY ASHLEY ASHLEY! She is truly a brat and doesn’t care about anyone. I wish she would go home.
Other drama. Mike and his guy friend Eric. Mike is just coming out gay, but since he is just coming out he isn’t quite secure with his sexuality. Eric is a guy friend that seems to have fallen for Mike, but Mike doesn’t want to be tied down to just one guy. I agree with him, since he is just coming out he shouldn’t be tied down to anyone, especially since he is a whole other state.

To leave or Not to leave.

Well the Bachelor was an emotional rollercoaster for one of the girls. This episode is when Jake got to go on the hometown dates. He went to each of the four girl’s hometown and got to meet their family. Even though he had fun on all of the dates, he ultimately had to make a decision to let one of them go. Sadly to say one of the girls made that decision for him. Ali got a phone call from her job saying she either had to come back now or she will be fired. She was very upset because she was in love with her job as well as Jake. She cried a lot, frankly she cried way to much. I know it is a hard decision, but you have to be realistic. There are three other girls there and he can’t promise you that he will pick you in the end. Finally after all of her crying she decided she needed to leave and go back to her job. I am glad she made that mature decision, because really she is 25 has a great job in San Francisco and I know she loves Jake, but there is no guarantee it will even work out in the end. There have only been about 3 or 4 couples to actually last after the show. Now that she is gone I have a new favorite and her name is Tenley. She is very genuine and I think she is a good match for him. The other two need to go, especially Vienna she is a drama queen and doesn’t belong with Jake. I hope he doesn’t pick her because I think in the end he will get his heart broken by her.

Undercover Boss

Well this was a tear jerking reality TV show to say the least. The first ever season premiere happened right after the super bowl. The COO (President) of a company called Waste Management went undercover and did the jobs that his employees have to do everyday. He worked with one person every day for seven days and did their jobs. The jobs ranged anywhere from cleaning out porter potties to picking up trash to do the administrative work. On the first job he had to sort through the recycling that was picked up by the trash people, he could barley hang. The manager he worked for had a very bogus clocking in system. For every minute your late, you get docked two minutes of pay. The COO did not like this idea so he was going to tell the manager what he thought after he was done going undercover.
Another job was the administrative work he had to do. He worked with a lady who did about seven different jobs, and her pay never increased no matter how much work she had to do. The COO got to meet her family as well because she invited him to dinner. He really admired her and at the end she was rewarded with a pay increase and was able to be on salary as well as able to get bonuses. This boss is a boss that a lot of people should look up to. He is very friendly and caring about his employees, you dont know too many differnt bosses who would take a week out of their busy schedules to go undercover to make thier business better.

Check It Out!

Well I have been blogging for a little bit now and im starting to get the hang of it. I like being able to express my ideas freely as well as talk about some of my favorite reality shows! I have been doing some extra research on the different shows. I like to look up the current gossip (because we all know that these shows are taped months before airing). I also like to research where casts member are now once the show has been finished, especially since a lot of us feel a connection with the people on the show!
I have a website that I am currently working on, and my websites has a lot of different links to different web pages. These web pages have to do about the different cast members, favorite Jersey Shore sayings and even a list of all of the reality TV shows that have been on air! My website also has different articles that have to do with reality TV. I recently just wrote an article that dealt with how reality TV is affecting our lives today. I also wrote on about my favorite reality shows ever. I will continue to write longer articles, it just takes some time, but I will definitely get to it! My website is a good place just to get more information about reality TV shows and just something extra for those who enjoy it as much as me, so check it out at http://bestofrealitytv.webs.com/
I also just want to say thanks for supporting me!

Shear Genuis

Shear Genius has finally aired on Bravo last Wednesday. This show is for everyone, the stylists and the non stylists. This show takes very talented hair stylists and has them go through different “challenges” throughout the show. This first episode was allowing us to get to know the different contestants on the show and what they are about. They first started with taking these punk rocker girls, who had crazy wild hair like different colors, wild hair cuts and one even had glue in her hair! The challenge was to turn those rocker chicks into the more sophisticated ladies. The winner was Amy and I would like to add that she is the youngest of them all. They then had to go to elimination challenge. The challenge was to use models that weren’t wearing swim tops and to make sure their models breasts were covered with their hair. A lot of the ideas were really creative. Some of them were terrible. Amy who won the first round, well I think she did the worst. She tried to do a braid to cover the breasts, but it just looked like she was a hairy women. Overall the loser of the challenge was Joey (who is from Australia). He had to leave the show and lost his chance at winning the 100,000 dollars along with the other prizes they are playing for.
I have never seen this show, but I really think I’m going to like it. It will be like a Top Chef but people doing hair!

Take That Stage

Taking the stage is a show that premiered on MTV a couple of weeks ago. This show is about a group of high school kids who have an amazing talent. Some of the kids are extremely good singers and guitar players, one is a rapper and the rest are dancers. This high school isn’t like any other high school that I went to. Instead of taking Spanish, they are taking dance or ballet classes. I think that would be an awesome high school, you would just get to do what you love to do. Of course the high school scene isn’t any different. There are still the people who think they own the school, the pretty “popular” girls, the different romances and of course the drama. There is one thing that was completely different than my high school and that was the love for the talent show. At my high school we didn’t care about the people performing in the talent show and we didn’t care to see it either. But this school is totally different. They live for the talent shows and they would rather be in or be a guest at it than going to parties or movies.
The first episode was just introducing the cast, which I still don’t know that well; I’m still learning them (there have only been two episodes). We got to learn their different talents and watch them get to know each other as well. They all have their stories. As much as I like it thought, it seems really set up and fake (like The Hills). I mean I’m sure it is, because that’s how a lot of shows are, but I wish it was at least a little but true.

Teen Mom Reunion...

Well this was an emotional reunion. I feel so bad for some of these kids. Lets take Bentley for example. His parents are Maci and Ryan. Well they aren’t together anymore and Ryan is still a terrible guy and he doesn’t even seem like he cares about their son. I feel bad that their son won’t have parents who will be able to even get along with each other. I hope Maci can find someone who will love her and Bentley and I hope she is happy in the long run, she’s a good girl.
Amber threw some surprising news at us on the reunion. Her and Gary might be expecting another child! I guess she didn’t learn that having a baby is hard, especially when you can’t support them financially. She doesn’t even have her G.E.D, she is basically living off of all us tax payers. She needs to get herself together and make better for her and her baby.
Farrah has matured the most out of all of them. She has finally realized that she needs to be a mother first than a teenager second. Her mom and she continue to keep fighting. It was just in the news that Farrah’s mom was taken to jail because of a fight between Farrah and herself. Their relationship is definitely not healthy.
Catelynn and her boyfriend are still going strong and I couldn’t be happier. They still stick with their decision to give their baby up for adoption, because they don’t believe they would still be together if they would have kept the baby. I hope they have a happy life together.
Well these girls are going to move on with their lives, have more babies and hopefully be happy for a long time. A new group of girls will be joining the mama scene. 16 and pregnant will be airing next week and we will be able to watch these girls through their journey into motherhood. I will be watching it every week and definitely will be blogging about it. Stay tuned.

Kell On Earth

The season premier of Kell on Earth aired on Monday. It is called Kell on Earth because working for her is known to be hell. This show is about Kelly Cutrone. She is a huge public relations company called Peoples Revolution who puts on the best fashion shows. This season she said she put on about 10 fashion shows during New York fashion week. If you don’t know Kelly is known to be one of the meanest bosses. Just from watching the first episode she seems kind of impossible to work for. All of her workers seem extremely stressed; they all look drained and miserable. I couldn’t do it. I am sure they are making really good money, but really if you are that miserable and stressed all the time is it worth it? The only thing cool about their job would be going to the fashion shows that they put on, but other than that, it just seems like it would take over your life, which is not my kind of career.
Kelly has actually been on a few different reality TV shows. Lauren Conrad from The Hills used to work for her while she was filming her show and also there was a True Life episode where her assistant Stephanie was filming it, so Kelly is not new to reality TV shows.
Kelly has a daughter and frankly I feel bad for her. She probably doesn’t get to see her mom often at all. Her nanny has to put her to bed, but I am sure Kelly is trying as hard as she can and I’m sure she loves her daughter.

Real HouseBunds?

Well another episode of the Real Housewives just aired, and lets be honest it was very drama filled. But it wasn’t between the women this time; it was the men bringing the drama. Simon, Tamar’s loser husband gets really upset that Tamara hangs out with Vicki. He thinks that she changed Tamara and that’s why they are having problems in their marriage. Really Simon, you’re the problem in your marriage, not Vicki. If you weren’t so controlling and rude to Tamara you guys would be happier.
At Lynne’s dinner party Vicki kind of got into an argument with the whole crowd. I like Vicki, she is a hard worker who loves her family, and she might not have time to “entertain” the rest of the housewives and their drama. They get mad at her when she makes comments about working. They get all defensive and say that they work. We all know that half of them do not work. Like Alexis, she says she works all the time being a full time mommy. Well I think she forgets she has TWO. Not ONE nannies. And ONE of them lives with her. Wow. Tough life. Not. I am team Vicki 
Well we all know that our economy isn’t what it used to be. It is even affecting these high class ladies. Coming up next episode we see that Lynn and her husband are getting an eviction notice, I guess her husband’s construction business has been going under and they are kind of struggling now days. It just goes to show, even when you have money for a while, it can be taken away from you just like that!

Bachelor

Well it has been a quick journey, or it seems to us. The Bachelor is well on its way to the final rose ceremony. There are only four girls left which means that they will be going on hometown dates next week. During these hometown dates each girl gets to bring Jake to meet his family and some friends. At this time the family will be able to see what he is all about. Some of these will go smooth, but others may not.
The villain Vienna is still on the show. The girls and most of the viewers don’t seem to like her. I don’t really have any feelings toward her. I don’t think she is the prettiest or even the best one for Jake, but hey I’m not dating her. My favorite girl who also really hates Vienna is Ali. I think she is a great girl and she and Jake look like they have an amazing time together. They went on a single date this last episode. She got to take him around San Francisco, where she lives. It just looked like they had a blast.
The other girls I don’t really know to well, they must be really boring since they aren’t sticking out to me. I think the next episode will be a good one and I can’t wait till the final rose ceremony and I hope whoever he chooses (ALI) will be able to date outside of a controlled environment and be able to make it into the future.

Tough Love Helps!!!

Well the girls finally made it through boot camp. Now they must give their rings to their special someone. Their rings symbolize their future for them after the show ends. These girls have come a long way. They have realized they are important special people and they should have a good guy in their lives.
The end of the season was very nice. All of the girls except for one, decided to give their rings to the guys they have been seeing during the time of the show. Tina was the one who decided she did not want to move forward with Quincy. I’m proud of her, he was not ready to fully commit in the long run and she did not want to settle.
The most shocking was Alicia. She and her guy have only being seeing each other for a month or so and he asked her to move to Philadelphia with him. She was shocked but ultimately said yes. I think her decision was not a good one. They have been in a controlled environment for so long; the real world is extremely different. They haven’t been through the bad yet, and I think moving out there is a very risky decision.
My favorite couple throughout the whole entire season was Angel and her guy. They met at the very beginning and they have been together ever since. She even got to meet his family. She is also willing to move her and her son out to where he lives. I agree with her decision more than Alicia’s because these two have been together longer; I just hope these girls understand that the real world is completely different.
I wish the best of luck to this group of girls!
