American Idol and The Bachelor - Page 2

Because who needs it? I always said men are like a bus. You miss one, another one will soon come along.

This is also not to say my heart would not be broken. This Grandmother Blogger has fallen for many a fellow who did not fall back. But I'd rather have a broken heart and my pride than a whole boatload of hope. Over a guy? Ain't gonna happen.

The Wise I would also be scared out of my mind to get involved with a guy under these circumstances. If he can't make up his mind now who's to say he won't change it later? Boom, we get in an argument and he calls up the "other" woman. Who loved him enough to humiliate herself by awaiting the final "decision" and would likely welcome him back with open arms.

The show's producer made the final decision revelation an agonizing affair, bringing in the women's families, showing past tapes of Charlie with his two women, honing in on Charlie as he pined about the difficulty and pain he was experiencing with the choice.

I suppose it's all hype and part of the drama pumped up by this turn of events.
Charlie chose Sarah by the way. The rejected one, Krisily, took it bravely. Which I suspect was scripted. Couldn't have Krisily boo-hooing all over the TV causing the audience to hate Charlie.

And the show.

I didn't hate Charlie. He seemed sincere for the most part. I will always think that Krisily would have been better off wishing Charlie and Sarah good luck and walking away. Instead she pined and hoped that Charlie would choose her.

Then I suppose Krisily got a nice check in the mail for her drama.

American Idol

It's Vonzell, Bo or Carrie as of this writing.

By me they are all very talented and quite capable of being 2005's American Idol.

On the night of the final three, each contender sang three songs. One song was chosen by the Judges. One the contestants chose themselves. One was chosen by Clive Davis, chairman of the record company that will be marketing the records of the AI winners.

    Great job, Patfish. Really enjoyed your thoughts on The Bachelor. I think you've summed up the finale of every reality show where a guy or girl has to make the "agonizing" choice of picking a girl or guy for... what? No one knows! That's the best part.

    I was going to ask when the first gay show of this variety was going to arrive... but I'm pretty sure Bravo did it.

    [I can see how that last bit might be seen as a joke as Bravo is sometimes referred to as the Gay Channel, but I am in fact being serious.]
