More Lessons from The Bachelor: Rome

Well, last night was the second episode of The Bachelor: Rome, and man is this show is going downhill fast. It is only you, loyal readers, that give me the strength to watch another hour of this crap.

The major disappointment of this show was, of course, that the dumbass gave another rose to Emily. Now, as you know from my last post, Emily is not exactly in my Fave 5. Besides not being particularly attractive she is a huge moron and a complete snob. She actually asked the host whether they were going be providing her with a maid. When she and Lorenzo were apparently discussing the fact that nobody else on the show likes her, she starting talking about how she likes to judge other people. Smooth. Very smooth. There is a rumor going around the message boards that she is actually an actress planted on the show. Frankly, she is such a ridiculous person I am starting to wonder if this is true. Unless Lorenzo is either a moron or a complete fraud, I find it hard to believe she keeps making the cut unless ABC was somehow pressuring him to keep her on the show.

Sometimes, you can actually learn something useful from watching reality TV. For example, on this episode, Kim taught us all that it is not a good idea to get loaded on a date, fall asleep, and wake up only to mistake your date for the waiter - while speaking in tongues, no less. Shockingly, Kim did not get a rose.

We learned another lesson from Lisa, my week one favorite. When you are on date, do not bad mouth other women, your ex, etc. This is not attractive. It is like going to a job interview and trashing your boss. She is still one of my favorite cuties, but she is on notice. Wisely, she did not tell Lorenzo about her marriage schedule.

My new favorite is Agnese (pronounced Ag-knee-zee). At some point some exec from ABC must have decided that Agnes was not a romantic enough name. This week we learned that in addition to speaking Italian and some English, girlfriend also speaks French (as in, french kissing)! Yep, Agnese was the first of the women to plant a real kiss on our unsuspecting prince. I still don't think she will "win" the show but God please let her stay for as long as possible.
