What's Your Beef Wednesday :: The Bachelor Edition

Hi everyone! Michelle & the City here filling in for the lovely Angela. I'm sure you know by now that she's off frolicking overseas with her newly married other half and for that I am beyond jealous. I wanted to write about something that everyone reading could relate to in one way or another. And then I thought of the What's Your Beef Wednesday posts I write occasionally. Perfect. Everyone loves to bitch right?

In particular, I would love to rant about this week's episode of the Bachelor. Even if you're not a fan of the show, feel free to leave any of your own beefs in the comments. The point is to get what's buggin' you off your chest! :)

• Marshana, you really started an all out brawl didn't you? And then you brought it up to Matt right before the rose ceremony? Did you think telling him that you were arguing with the other bachelorettes was going to earn you bonus points?
• Speaking of the fight... Chelsea and Robin had a point. You ARE very negative and it doesn't seem like you really want to be there. Saying things like "Rugby is sooo hard. I'm getting really roughed up" and "These ski boots are sooo tight. I've never donnne this before" prove it. No one else has complained as much as you.
• Chelsea is disgusted by holding hands. Please tell me what is so obscene about that. PDA I can see, some people just don't like showing that much affection in public. But you're HOLDING HANDS not groping each other. Also, I would recommend not calling Matt "buddy" on your next date. Aren't you trying to win his affection? From the looks of it I would think you want to be his new best friend.
• What is the point of having Chris (the host) come out to announce "Ladies, this is the final rose" every time? Hello, we can SEE there's only one left on the tray. I wasn't under the impression that this episode would be any different from the 17,000 before it.
• Shayne is just acting. I can see it. Why can't he?!

Non-Bachelor Related Rant

• When is the weather finally going to make up its mind? Rain/sleet this past weekend. Temperatures in the 30s the past two days, wore my winter coat to work. Today, highs in the 70s. Brighter than sunshine. Whoever controls the weather must be a woman because who else could be so indecisive?! ;)

So tell me (and Angela), what's your beef today?

I have to say... I actually like Shayne. I think she is cute and unique. Whether she is acting or not. But seriously, the final rose thing... HELLO! I am totally with you. Not to mention last night rocked with him eliminating "hi...I'm gonna bud into everyone's time, my name is Robin" and "hi...everyone should really like me, my name is Marchan."

Love this post Michelle, Tres funny!

MEN and their inability to grow some balls.

Argh.

I'm still stunned that Matt chose Chelsea over Robin. I'm thinking Noelle and Shayne will be in the final two. And if he picks Shayne, I will seek him out just to smack him.

[Michelle & the City]

nic - me too! and noelle is definitely who i'm rooting for :)

[Hazel]

I actually hate holding hands too. Not really because it's gross or too PDA for me, but because my hands always get sweaty! And that's not only gross, but embarassing to me and puts the other person in an awkward position when they realize my hand is sweating and they want to drop it.

So that's my beef: I can never hold hands!

i just started watching the bachelor on my computer. but only my computer at school is fast enough to handle it so i have to wait until my officemates aren't around to catch up!

chris announcing the final rose bugs the shit out of my too!

my beef is this damn runny nose i've been sporting all week. so not cool. i'm not even sick!

[TasterSpoon]

I can't even watch the Bachelor. I get so caught up in the drama and the tears and the desperation and the heartbreak - it's completely draining. When I'm just flipping around and I land on the Bachelor I freak out and change the channel as quickly as possible so I won't get sucked in.

I'm almost always willing to whine about the weather. (I didn't mean for that sentence to have so much alliteration in it, but there you go.) It's nice right now but I know summer's just around the corner and I HATE hot weather. So yeah, I guess my beef is something that hasn't even happened yet.

Allergies. I hate them. I don't just have normal runny nose allergies, but full on sick allergies. First day I start with a sore throat, then by the second day it leads into the runny nose, which in turn becomes a stuffed up nose to the point that I cannot breathe. By the end of day 2/early day 3 comes the most terrible cough that makes me sound like a seal, which leads me back to a sore throat from coughing so much.

I've been like this since I was a wee little one - my mom thought I was dying once, but nope, it was allergies they said. SUCKS!

[Ashley]

Oh Michelle, how you hit the nail on its head for all of that!!

I have a lot of beef today. Mainly--why do i let D have so much control over me that I let him come prancing back into my life and agree to actually maybe see him. SERIOUSLY.

and then theres the lack of voice thing I have going on, and this cold/allergy thing thats kicking my ass....

I think i may be complaining more than Marshana. haha. One thing I cannot complain about? Is this FANTASTIC weather. Its going to be in the 70s today and tomorrow? almost 80!! yay!!
