DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES 1/31/10: 6.14 “The Glamorous Life”

Don’t have too much to say about this week’s episode:

• I liked the stripper that Susan befriended.  She was a cute girl!  Felt bad that she wanted to break out of the business into a more “normal” job, but it’s hard to get out of that “bubble.”
• MJ had THE best lines in this episode!  “You know you can give me a bath if you want to…”  WOW.

• Orson & Bree…can’t imagine ever getting to that point where you want to kill yourself.  I’m glad Bree was able to convince Orson not to do it, but I wonder if she’ll be able to fall back in love with him.  At least she’s willing to try!

• Gaby’s storylines are always very entertaining.  It’s so funny how nowadays Gaby seems to be taking on a more “responsible” role…like protecting her niece from getting pregnant, and fighting with Angie to do it!

• It was hilarous to see Jane Leeves get to do a bit of some comic relief there in her Shakespeare play!  “I have sort of a gift…”  Umm, yeah…right. :-p

THE BACHELOR 2/1/10: 5 down to 4

Tonight’s episode wasn’t the most shocking or surprising…lots of one-on-one time!

VIENNA & GIA:

• I thought when Corrie tricked Ali & Vienna into thinking the two of THEM had to go on the one-on-one date was hilarious!  I really believed her too!
• Lucky for Gia & Vienna, there wasn’t a rose that needed to be given on their date.
• I’m still so surprised at how insecure Gia is, considering how beautiful she is.  She really LOOKS like she’d be SO much more confident in herself.  Her insecurity makes her cuter, imo.  It’s nice to see such a pretty girl NOT be so forward and “pompous” about themselves…
• Vienna annoys me in how she’s so whiny all the time…whining about wanting more time with Jake…whining about not getting enough attention from Jake…I really don’t like to look at her either.  Her looks aren’t appealing to me at all.
• Why are we not surprised that Vienna couldn’t just LEAVE Jake & Gia to their alone time…?  Looks like they had enuf time to themselves tho…lucky for them they were “hidden” so far away from Vienna that she took a while to find them.
• Again…why are we NOT surprised that Vienna would go down to Jake’s bedroom to see him, leaving Gia back upstairs…I’m glad Jake told her to go back up to her bedroom tho.  At least he’s not that sleazy.  I still don’t understand his fascination with Vienna tho…but he OBVIOUSLY is intrigued by her.

TENLEY:

• I just adore Tenley.  She really is SUCH a good, sweet person.  She is RIDICULOUSLY positive and has SUCH a great attitude about EVERYTHING!  Always up for ANYTHING!
• Her Chinatown date with Jake was great!  They are so cute together!  Their date was cute because it was like a real “couples’ date”…walking around window shopping.  They seem really at ease with each other.  So sweet when Jake said Tenley was the one girl who he could actually SEE having as his wife…
• Their dinner was probably one of the most “intimate” dinners Jake’s had with any of the girls.  I mean, they REALLY got to talk about MEANINGFUL things…relationships…marriage…love.  It was just so cute to watch!
• Their fortune cookies were just ADORABLE!  Can’t believe they BOTH wrote “Kiss Me” on their fortunes!  If these two aren’t meant to be together, I don’t know who is!
• That’s the one thing about Tenley that worries me…Just like Jake was on the Bachelorette, Tenley seems almost “too perfect.”  Yes, she has the “flaw” of her previous marriage, but Tenley as a person seems so perfect for Jake, almost seems too good to be true.  I still worry that Tenley MAY get her heart broken…and she’s such a good person that I wouldn’t want that to happen to her AGAIN.
• As of today, I’m without a doubt rooting for Tenley all the way!

CORRIE:

• Altho Corrie is a very pretty girl, I still had a hard time with her looks.  Her face is just so…LONG, which makes her face seem almost too big for the rest of her body.  It’s weird.
• Corrie and Jake never quite had enough time together, and as Jake said, their relationship just seemed to progress SO much slower than the other girls.
• I’m really glad Corrie “stuck to her guns” about her values/morals regarding living together/saving herself for marriage.  At least she was able to open up with Jake about that, as it seemed she felt very strongly about it.  Even if he made like it didn’t matter, did her views on that have anything to do with her being booted?  I’m sure it did at least A LITTLE, but ultimately she just was “way behind” the other girls as far as her connection with Jake.

ALI:

• How lucky was she that they went to HER city for this week’s episode?!  She was “in her element” and could really see whether or not Jake could fit in “her world.”
• Even tho parts of her personality still irk me, I can totally see Jake with Ali.  They do have a definite chemistry, and he seems pretty comfortable with her…she is, after all, the ONLY girl to have TWO one-on-one dates with him.
• When Jake finally did kind of “confront” Ali about the whole Vienna thing, it was pretty funny (and seemed to annoy Jake) how Ali tried everything she could to NOT come across as a b**** about the whole thing.  You know what she WANTED to say, but she tried to cover it up by saying stuff like, “I want you to be happy…“
• The whole confrontation scene between Ali & Vienna after they found out that Ali gets a one-on-one and Vienna got the group date was so…disappointing.  It really WASN’T much of a confrontation at all!  Junkie!  Oh well…they BOTH know how each other feels, so I guess it’s not like they needed to “hash” things out…

• During the rose ceremony, when Jake took Vienna to HIS room…which he ONLY did with HER…we KNEW he wasn’t going to let her go.  WHY tho?!  Still boggles my mind.  She’s really got him reeled in a bit, doesn’t she?!  I CANNOT see them getting married and she being his wife at the end of all this!
• He looked like he felt so bad to have to let Corrie go.  He barely got “Vienna” out of his mouth when he had to give out that last rose.
• I’m really interested in seeing how these girls’ families are…especially Tenley’s dad, Gia’s mom and Vienna’s dad.  I’m sure Jake will handle himself well, altho the kind of guy he is, meeting these families is only going to make him THAT much more involved with each of these girls…
• And umm…no rose ceremony next week?!  WHY THE FACE?!  WHO was at the door?!  Come on!  It’s AMAZING how much drama can happen!

LOST: Interview with Elizabeth Mitchell

Now that the first couple of episodes has aired, TV Guide did an interview with Elizabeth Mitchell, where she reveals a bit about Juliet…was that the last we’ve seen of her?

According to the article, Juliet WILL be back before the end of the season!  Yay!  I’m actually really sad that Juliet died on the show…I LOVED her character!  I believe so did a lot of fans…that’s why the show’s been kinda “keeping” her around without REALLY keeping her around.
