The Bachelor Episode 3: Blonde vs. Brunettes – The Controversy Continues

As a reminder, this season I will be conducting a scientific study to once and for all determine, who has more fun?  Blondes or Brunettes?  The Ladies of this Season’s Bachelor will be my study, and who else to make a better judge then the Bachelor himself, Brad Womack.  Once again see below how the teams breakout:

Team Yellow: Ashley H., Ashley S., Britt, Emily, Kimberly, Madison, Sarah

Team Brown: Alli, Chantal, Jackie, Lindsay, Lisa, Marissa, Meghan, Michelle, Shawntel, Stacey

After last week we ended with a frustrating stalemate, but something tells me this week we are about to make some progress.  Let the games begin….


Team Yellow +1 : Ashley S. is a good sport

On her one on one date, first impression rose winner Ashley S. is brought to a world renowned music studio to record her very own version of Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”.  You have GOT to be kidding me, you would more likely catch me going on a date where I’m getting a rose tattooed on my forehead before you would catch me singing in any place other than the shower.  Ashley gets points from me for just rolling with it.

Team Yellow -1: Ashley S. is a 14 year old girl posing as a grown up

The more I watched Brad and Ashley on their date the more I felt like I was watching a pre-teen squeezing tightly to her uncles arm while riding a scary roller coaster.  Something about the two of them together screamed inappropriate teacher/student relationship, and I think by the end of the night Brad was starting to feel the same.  It shouldn’t take long for Brad to realize the age gap might be something too difficult for them to work through.

Team Brown -1: Michelle= most annoying girl in the house

Michelle whines when she hears she won’t get a solo date, covers her face up with her hair like a 5 year old girl watching a scary movie when Shawntel kisses Brad, and continuously interrupts other girl’s one on one time officially making her the world’s most annoying Bachelor contestant yet.  She then proceeds to tell Brad they are ‘having their first fight’ once she realizes he kissed 2 other girls the night of their first kiss.  Does she know what show she’s on?  I think we just found our next Vienna… but at least she’s pretty.

Team Brown +2: Brad makes out with Two Chan(Shawn)tals in one night

I don’t even know one Chan(shawn)tal let alone 2.  Kudos to these girls for impressing Brad enough to steal his attention (and some kisses) on a date with 9 other ladies.

Team Yellow +1: Best Quote of the night said by Meghan about Emily

“[Emily’s] like this little itsy bitsy, Barbie Doll with the soul of Mother Theresa.  So you want to hate her, but you can’t.”  Clearly, Meghan’s not the only one who’s loving her.  After Emily finally decides to open up to Brad on her one on one date he makes this proclamation, “The way I feel now, is the way people feel when they begin a future with somebody.”  I think I might even have a girl crush myself.

Team Yellow +1: Madison makes a noble move

Madison is just one more person who has fallen under Emily’s spell.  So touched by her story of love and loss, Madison re-thinks her motive for coming on the show and decides to leave.  Some may say this is cowardly, but I find it commendable.  Chances are she only did the show in the first place because, as an aspiring model in NYC, a little airtime wouldn’t hurt.  After what one can only assumes were originally disingenuous intentions she makes a selfless turn and bows out when she realizes she has no connection with Brad.

Looks like Team Yellow narrowly beat out Team Brown with a score of 1-0 this week, but the race is far from over.  After the exit of 3 blondes tonight: Sarah/Kimberly & Madison (by choice), Team Yellow will have a tough time gaining ground in the next few weeks with 6 less players.
