banksy box

i am writing this blog on episode 7 of the bachelor on the heels of almost being attacked by a giant woman in brown and white striped spandex, i think she was carrying a walkman. i'm just mentioning that in case you have ever doubted my commitment to the show. in addition, i almost dehydrated my baby watching this on hulu because i didn't want to get up to get a drink of water.

on arrival to the cuisinart resort and spa in anguilla, i've never heard so many women describe a place with glass bricks as being "the most amazing place ever." in addition, i'm pretty sure at this point, if the contestants don't have some form of melanoma, they are well on their way. you can tell how much time a person spends in the sun by how many swimsuits they have. i have one, actually, half of one since i haven't seen the bottoms since last summer. these girls have as much swimwear as they do stretchy pants (cropped stretchy hot pants do make an appearance in this episode, which was refreshing and disappointing at the same time), which tells me that in a few years, no amount of olay regenerist is going to adequately combat the sun damage they have incurred. while we're on the topic of collecting, i am officially taking donations to buy chantal o a variety of tshirts that are not a) burn out and b) green or purple.

emily's date with brad started with a helicopter ride over the ocean to a deserted island. it wasn't very big, probably only big enough to do a couple of those races like in elementary school where you have to run and grab the chalkboard eraser from one end and run to the other end and drop it off. the shuttle run? anyway, they have a good conversation, except their hair kept going from dry to wet to dry. funny. at this point, brad realizes she is too good for him and makes a last ditch move to ingratiate himself to her by "breaking the rules" and telling her that she was definitely getting a rose. kk says that she is the only person who can wear a side braid successfully. i would tend to agree, although i did love LOVE carmen kass in a narciso rodriguez fragrance campaign several years ago.


there aren't too many things that can be said about britt's one on one date. it was too little, too late. i was looking forward to the dinner scene where britt has to eat, and i am convinced that whatever food publication britt writes for, it only requires her to smell the food or chew and spit out. people, there's no way. i was happy that brad sent her home, although if he was going to cut to the chase, it should have been when he saw she was wearing giant white foam flip flops and an sweatshirt she must have borrowed from blanche on the golden girls.


dgh says that shawntel's attractiveness is highly dependent on the lighting. i think she would agree that shawntel looked great on the island. their dates seem to be light hearted and fun, except who is bankie bad or whoever? the most famous singer in anguilla? i guess as long as you have more than one singer, he can be considered the most famous. but then he could also be considered the second least famous. anyway, brad acts like he knows who he is, but pretty sure he doesn't. shawntel tells brad she is falling in love with him. in normal fashion, brad does not respond.

the three/one date with chantal, ashley and michelle was not awesome, it was awkward for everyone. i don't have much of a response, except i think that brad's belly button seems to be too high on his torso. maybe that's where he plugs in his charger at night. and i didn't know that lower back tattoos were so trendy among mid 20 somethings. in addition, i have started to notice that michelle licks her lips a lot and it reminds me of that lizard that ricky the dragon carried around with him on wwf.

brad skips the cocktail party in order to cut to the chase. i wish he wouldn't have, otherwise he would have seen shawntel's dress and made her leave the island immediately. michelle gets kicked off in the most anti-climactic fashion. i knew it was coming, especially because she had a chance to apologize for being an ass hole and all she did was say "i know i'm supposed to be here." she doesn't say a word, but lays down and rocks herself after she boards the limo.

only four episodes left, three of my four picks are still in the game, which i am happy about!
