The Bachelor--finale

So I watched the "Women Tell All" show last Monday and frankly, the women told NOTHING. I don't think Raquel, from Brazil, uttered a word. There was a huge emphasis on PAST Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants (yawn) and of course, no one can ever refer to "The Bachelor" at ABC without rolling out Trista and Ryan--the *ONLY* couple to actually marry. Yeah, yeah...we get that, but is anyone else burned out on those two?

I wrote a few weeks ago that someone sent me a link to "Reality Steve" and after reading his site, I believe he has the goods on how this show will end. After watching "The Women Tell All" and Jason's appearance on "The View" on Friday morning, I am 110% convinced that it works out exactly as Steve has predicted.

I have tonight's finale on, but I'm not glued to the dialogue. I'm not sorry I read on Steve's site--in fact, the opposite. This installment of The Bachelor has gotten sky-high ratings and the viewers seem to genuinely LIKE Jason. After reading at Reality Steve's....I no longer count myself as a fan of Jason.

There's an hour and a half left to drag this out tonight and an unprecedented additonal show tomorrow night. I hadn't watched The Bachelor in years and after this trainwreck, I am sure it will be years (again) before I bother.

Okay--checking back in on this post and it's 9:45 EST. Molly has been dumped and it was odd. The way she told him that he'd be hurt again. It was just a strange thing to say. And now, we finally get to see Jason weeping off his balcony...which has been hyped since episode one of this season.

Molly is in the limo and upholding the promise she made to her dad to "not cry" in the limo if she were let go. So far, so good, Reality Steve. As someone who never cared for Molly, I find her stoicism off putting and her insistence that Jason is bound to get hurt again? Can she say NOTHING about her own feelings or is she just dead inside??

What is sad here is that *IF* Melissa were chosen and they were happily engaged at this point (tee hee), seeing how he didn't stand up for her would be impossible to watch.

Oh, and recapping Deanna's surprise appearance from earlier? WHAT A WASTE!! ABC hyped that two minute appearance and milked it for all it was worth. They flew Deanna from Atlanta to New Zealand for that?? .

Once they come back from commercial, Jason will proprose to Melissa, but at my house, I have the feeling I am about to watch an innocent lamb being led to slaughter once the After the Final Rose ceremony airs at 10PM.

I don't know how much of Jason telling Melissa how "amazing" she is that I can take, so on a side note....maybe ABC should have left Deanna in Atlanta and taken her travel budget and gotten Melisa and Molly hair stylists for this last episode??

Wow. Jason is now on one knee and proposing.

I wonder what could POSSIBLY go wrong? We just paired the "happiest girl in the world" and the "happiest man in the entire universe." Everyone is jumping in the pool in formal clothes and yes, Ty is dragged in to this sordid mess. Next up--After the Final Rose.

Kim Zolciak and *MORE* drama, restraining orders, etc

Awww. I was so sad when Kim Zolciak's website disappeared. I had it linked right here, on my homepage. It was a GREAT site...for those who may have missed its short existence, a web site for Kimmy appeared shortly after New Years 2009 and it was hilarious.

It featured VERY close up photos of Kimmy, in a bikini, on vacation in the Caribbean. Incredulously, Kim tried to explain that the photos were taken by fans. Uh-huh. And how did they end up on her own web page? Yet another fib, but the site featured Kim blogging about her upcoming tv appearances, photos she took of herself in the gowns she was considering (taken on her cell phone camera) and all kinds of oogling about Bonnie Hunt's impersonations of her.

And then.....with no warning.......the site went black. The image, which is still showing on my blog roll, is that the site has been pulled due to NON-PAYMENT. Geez. It costs *maybe* 20 bucks a month to web host so what gives?

I finally found the answer on E! Online on Friday. Kimmy and her "publicist" are at odds. He is suing her and they are both seeking restraining orders. Unbelivable.

Here's the article: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b102171_real_housewives_kim_peeved.html

Kim Zolciak is having an image crisis—with the guy who used to be responsible for her image.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta hausfrau has been sued for breach of contract by her publicist, whom she is simultaneously trying to restrain via a court order.

Per TMZ.com, Zolciak has filed a request for a protective order against her former rep, Jonathan Jaxson, in which she accuses him of using the website KimZolciakOnline.com to sabotage her. The brash blonde claims Jaxson changed the password and security settings so she couldn't access the site and then posted a litany of lies about her.

But according to Jaxson's camp, it's Zolciak who needs a lesson on how to play nice with others.

"Jaxson is in fear for his safety and has filed a police report with the Atlanta Police Department after threats were made concerning his well-being by Ms. Zolciak," a rep for Jaxson tells E! News.

Jaxson filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the aspiring country songstress Feb. 23 for $15,000 in back fees, claiming she had stopped paying his monthly retainer fee, thereby immediately voiding their contract.

And furthermore, Jaxson's rep says, he owns the website Zolciak has accused him of hijacking.

I love the part where her publicicst notes that Kim Zolciak needs a lesson on how to play nice with others--an assertion I am sure would be backed by NeNe and Lisa!!

Jay Photoglou weighs in on Slade's arrest, via TMZ

The story of Slade's arrest wouldn't be complete without a firsthand account from Jay Photoglou, who hasn't met a web site or tabloid he doesn't like. Here's what he said on TMZ:

I lived with Gretchen in Costa Mesa. And was living out of a suitcase with a friend when I left because she was going to dinner with Slade. When I went to pick up more clothes on Wed Feb 18th Slades car was in the driveway. I know Gretchen well so I called the police dept to do a civil asst and help me recover some more clothes. I had proper identification to be there so they attempted to get Slade or Gretchen to open the door. No response from them so when I told them I have a way to get in the dispatcher recieved a call from Slade saying he was with Gretchen and they were in Vegas. Slade called a recorded line to lie to the police. He also told the dispatcher that a neighbor called him to say the police were there. So that is why he called. So I proceeded to enter the house as I did I saw there was Slades wallet shirt Jacket shoes and car keys were in plain sight. The officer and I then heard foot steps upstairs. But Slade and Gretchen would still not come out of her room. This is public information and probably on a report. I did recover more clothes BUT did not have a moving truck set up so I was only able to get clothes not furniture. The officers did not tell me but I over heard them say He has a suspended Lic and a fake tag on his unregistered car as well as a warrant for $10,000 out of LA county. This is what I think I heard. I will be moving the rest of my stuff out next week.
