But Call Me Betsy

Lots of expletives to start the show, mostly from Kenny, I hate to say. He calls Lee a snake and I can't understand the rest of it because they are bleeping every third word.  Rachel approaches with a rose and she's going to give it to... No one. Lee is going to be sent home because she doesn't trust him, but she won't give the rose to Kenny either until she spends more time with him. Instead of getting into the proverbial and ever-present helicopter, Kenny decides he must go say goodbye to Lee. He wants to clarify to Lee that he didn't threaten him, even though he did say something like he hoped he could dance on his grave. Lee laughs with his legs crossed. My guess is that the producers will find a way to bring Lee back. Why did we have to watch an additional night to see this anti-climatic moment? Is one of the Monday nights a football play off or something? Rachel would like to spend more time with Kenny and get to know him, specifically to know why he had t...

Bryan, the chiropractor she thinks is too good to be true, sits in a sailboat and tells her that he thinks she's too good to be true too so that makes them a perfect match. If only he knew how to sail. Is she buying this Juan Pablo crap? Hand covering the face audible kiss. And yet, the special rose goes to...Bryan. The guy who is 2 good + 2 B = 4 gotten. Lee and that Howdy Dowdy guy are having a whisper fight to show who is the less aggressive. At the same time, Rachel is having her one-on-one date with Jack, who is also an attorney. My mom, who is watching this show with me for the first time, thinks that Jack might be, "A little bit gay." He goes in for a kiss that he meant to be super romantic, but it's not and they almost fall into a lake. They have the most awkward kiss in history and she is not feeling it. In typical Bachelorette fashion, he has no clue and says that he thinks it was the best kiss since sliced Wonder bread. Another black man tries to ...

Rachel wears a sparkly golden dress with a matching jacket over it. She glitters. She glows.  This guy with the hair is a total dick. Lee, the guy with the big hair, the stand up in the air, gelled wall of hair. Lee says, "My grandfather…" I wait for him to say “owned slaves” because he strikes me as a typical privileged white guy and he may have a Southern accent and also because he told the black guy not to get mad, dude.  The model cute white guy  in the Hawaiian shirt (Dean) says, "These guys aren’t the people who Lee’s used to hanging around with on a regular basis on a cultural level."  Invisible producer goes, "What do you mean by that?"  The guy goes, "You know what I mean. I am talking about intolerance." Holy shit, this show is actually (sort of) addressing racism.  Rachel says to Bryan, "You're so charming, it scares me."  The guy says, "It's a fairy tale. It's 1,000% real." Which of course m...

Recall that we left the last episode on a cliff hanger, which I guess is the TV station's way of asking us to return. One of the dudes who already had a girlfriend has returned to beg for another chance. Rachel explains that she's looking for a man, not a boy. He's a boy for not telling the truth when she confronted him. He leaves with a shine of tears in his eyes. She is poised, classy, articulate.  The men high-five at her moxie. A guy shows up with huge hands which I guess he either added to his carrying on or fashioned out of existing sheets from the Radisson. The skin tone is slightly brown to show that he is sensitive. Another guy in a bow tie illustrates his intelligence by not quite solving a Rubric's cube. Another by showing pictures of his ten year old daughter. Blake can't swallow the nonsense of the Howdy Doody guy who has one hounds tooth jacket that he can't stop wearing. Lucas is his name and he claims Blake has been standing over him while he...
