Some of you may have heard about this little show called "Dancing With the Stars." As a cast member of the ninth season, I have to admit I didn't realize what a huge phenom this show had become.
The excitement I see on peoples' faces can only mimic those of kids walking into Disneyworld for the first time. I feel that I have two very big tasks ahead of me during this time.
First is to soak up all the dancing time possible and build myself an arsenal of moves to pull out during competition. The second is to become a politician and secure votes since my fate lies in the hands of the public fifty percent of the time.
It's down
to the finale three -- Jillian, Melissa and Molly, who last night all flew to
New Zealand for their fantasy dates with Jason.
First, we
have to suffer through an interminable recap of Jason's feelings for all three
women.
Jason thinks
Jillian might be too strong and independent for him. Why do guys have such a
problem with these types of women!?
As for Molly, Jason seems completely smitten and just wants her to open up more to him. Melissa on the other hand, Jason says he is "leery of girls like her." He's not sure if she is ready to settle down but his biggest problem with her was not being able to meet her family. Melissa says its because her family is very private but Jason thinks other issues might be lurking.
Jillian is
first up on the fantasy date roster, which in the past has not been a good
spot. By the time the Bachelor or Bachelorette gets to the final fantasy date,
the first person is out of sight and out of mind.
Judging from the amount of ladies writing in comments on my last blog about "The Bachelorette's" Jeremy Anderson, I figured he's got to be one of the most popular male rejects of all time. I say reject with all due respect as I've gotten to know Jeremy recently and he's anything but a reject. He's a total sweetheart -beyond just being easy on the eyes.
Women who have never even met him have created a petition to make him the next "Bachelor" and they're going above and beyond finding out ways to contact him. Some have gone so far as to take out ads on Craigslist to find him!
I wanted to update everyone on how Jeremy has been holding up since the finale. I was horrified watching him go back on that final show to try and change DeAnna's mind. The show made it seem like he had hung out for several days lying in wait for her. It made him look, I thought, like a bit of a stalker. However, in the back of my mind I was pretty sure that all unfolded on the night he was eliminated, despite how ABC made it seem – especially, since I was pretty sure he was wearing the exact same clothes as the week before!
This morning Jeremy and I had a long talk about all things "The Bachelorette." We talked for so long I actually took a shower with him! Well, he showered at his home in Dallas while I was on the phone 1,800 miles away in Los Angeles. A girl can dream though, right? Thank goodness he told me this after the fact, otherwise my mind may have wandered off to uh, other things, while I was trying to ask insightful questions. Kudos to him for his fantastic multi-tasking! Here's some of what Jeremy and I spoke about this morning.
OK, so, did you actually wait around in the Bahamas for DeAnna to come back?
"It was an hour and half after the rose ceremony. It wasn't days later. I went back under the premise, I got this pretty concrete feeling that DeAnna was second guessing her decision and wanted to talk to me about it, and that there was a possibility that there might be a change of heart if I went back and talked to her about it."
“Please, please, pleeeeease pick me, Bret!” “Flav, I'll do anything to keep my clock tickin'!” “Of course I'll accept this rose!”
Such are the most common,
most belittling begs of reality television today. And boy are people watching. VH1's "Rock of Love" was the highest rated cable reality
show on television. Twenty women vying
for the love of Bret Michaels? The makeup-wearing, bandana-obsessed (could
there be any other reason than a thinning and receding hairline?), 44-year-old
"Poison" band member.
Be it
the build up of living with, and competing against, other women desperate for
Bret's attention, or the appeal of having a real-life rocker boyfriend, these
twenty, thirty, and on occasion, forty-somethings, give it all they've got in
order to receive one-on-one dates with his Highness.
How these women validate it to their parents is beyond me.
"Well mom and dad, I'm going on 'Rock of Love,' you know, to
compete with other women for the adoration of Bret Michaels.
"What do you mean, 'Who?' The guy that was really popular when you
were in labor with me! Duh."
