Hi friends! Long time no talk! This poor little space of mine has been so neglected. January and February were kind of dud months, am I right? Like, why is the coldest and dreariest month (January) the longest. Ay. Anyways. I tried doing paleo January and it lasted me 2 weeks. I gotta live, especially on the weekends.

If you're like me and you neglect your blog, maybe you're also like me and LOVE Instagram. Here's my plug that when I'm not blogging, I'm most likely on Instagram. You can find all the good stuff there.

Let's catch up.

Bachelor. Did you see that Nick is "happily ever after?" He picked Vanessa, who is probably the most argumentative contestant ever. On After the Final Rose, all they talked about was how hard it's been, but.... they love each other. So, we shall see. One piece of relationship advice my mother always gave me growing up was "It shouldn't be that hard." Yes, relationships are constant work and dedication to each other, but the day to day should not be a constant battle. But, hey, I'm a lover of love and will wish them the best. I would not be totally shocked if Nick was on Bachelor in Paradise this summer though, just sayin.


I'm an aunt again! My darling SIL had a beautiful little baby boy, Otto. He is a little dream boat. I am now an aunt to FIVE adorable nieces and nephews. If my SIL's keep up the good work, maybe the pressure will be taken off Adam and I. Well, probably not, but maybe a little. The last weekend in February, Adam and I zipped back to Omaha to get in some much needed family time and of course, baby snuggles.  It was so darn cold in Omaha, but we managed to get a ton in. We surprised my father in law for his 60th birthday, watched Otto get baptized, had lots of drinks with friends and snuck in an early AM brunch with the girls. Oh Omaha. I love you. I love you so much I'm coming back this weekend.


My cousin Rachel is considering making a big move from Detroit to Denver and wanted to come out and visit. Needless to say, we hit the ground running the second she landed. Our first night, we went to Kitchen in downtown and my love, it was so delicious. If my Denver people are reading, stop what you're doing and make reservations. It's so bomb.com. Then we had to show her Union Station, Red Rocks, Linger in Highlands, breweries, hikes and pure barre. It was such a fun weekend. Now, if you know of anyone needing a speech therapist for kiddos, let me know. It is now my life mission to get her to Denver.


Blog Photo Shoot: I had my first semi-official blog photo shoot. Can we just talk about how nerve wrecking and unnatural it is for me to pose. This is NOT a thing for me. People are so good at it, and I'm over here trying to not make my face look like I'm pooping. Needless to say I was so nervous. But, ya know what I spent 5 hours in front of a camera and I'm pretty damn proud that I finally conquered my photo blog fear. So hey, haters, comment how you'd like. Here's hoping they only get better. Fashion bloggers, send all the tips.

And the best part, next week, there will be an entire blooper blog. You don't want to miss it. Here's a sneak peak of me causally drinking wine at Union Station. I'm so natural. HA!


Happy Thursday my friends. We are so dang close to the end of the week. This weekend my future sister in law Nico is having her bachelorette party so I'm hoping over to Omaha for a weekend of girlfriends, pictures and to be honest, probably too much wine. This is when you wanna follow me on Snapchat, because we all know bachelorette parties are prime for snaps. (Kgrace01)

Tomorrow, I'm gonna let you get to know me a little better. It'll be fun! Stay tuned.

Oh hey everyone, I'm back! Happy spring! I know it's not technically spring, but it's March, so close enough right?

I could not resist blogging Monday night's episode, it was only an hour, there are only 3 left and we deal with some PG-13 quotes. Let's recap. Last week was hometowns.

• Raven's date was sweet and we found out her dad is cancer free, amazing!! Oh and her brother is quite a little actor.
• Vanessa's dad was a boss and asked all the questions we all want to know, For example, she lives in Canada and Nick and her haven't talked about that tiny detail. 
• Rachel is queen, but her judge-dad didn't show and race was a hot topic. 
• Corrine loves shopping and tells Nick she loves him, Raquel the nanny is an angel. 

But, spoiler alert -- before we went hometown on the show, we found out in real life that Rachel is the next Bachelorette....while she is still a contestant on the show. Soooo, unless this show gets super weird, Nick does not pick Rachel.

We start this episode with Andi casually showing up at Nicks hotel room and calling him out the infamous "why did you make love to me if you weren't in love with me" statement. Andi is a stunner per usual. And it's weird but the chemistry and comfort level between her and Nick is super great. Maybe we all get thrown the biggest twist in bachelor history and he picks her at the end. Wouldn't that be pretty dang awesome.

Speaking of rose ceremony, lets get to it. They are still doing this crap with the rose ceremony at the beginning of the episode. I hate this new thing. Stick to what you know. Vanessa's dress is killer. She looks amazing. And ABC, why oh why do you put these girls outside on a roof in New York in the winter. Serious?

Raven has been the first one to get a rose in the last two episodes, what does that say? Hmm.

Spoiler Alert: Our comedic relief in Corrinne is gone. We will miss your hilarious comments Corrinne, but I have a feeling you are going to (1) be Instagram famous and (2) be on bachelor in paradise. We'll see you this summer girlfriend. It's about time. Lols Adam.


Finland. I wonder if Nick has any say over where he gets to go. Like, if I was the Bachelorette, I'd be in the Amalfi Coast, or Paris, or New Zealand. It is pretty awesome that they could see the northern lights, that's rad. But man. I hate being cold. And they look damn cold. I mean, in the interviews Raven is shaking so bad, her voice mumbles. Get this girl on a beach!

Raven got the first rose and the first date in Finland. I like Raven. She's super open and honest. She says it like it is and I really appreciate that from her. I'm hoping we see that same spitfire attitude in Vanessa next week.

Can we please talk abut the fact that Nick is in a turtleneck. Who dresses him? Ugh, when she says I love you, I actually melted a little bit. It was very sweet. Then she says orgasm and the whole sweetness kind of went away. Do you think they actually saw the northern lights or was that just Photoshop.


Alright people. This episode was kinda slow because it was only an hour. Let's just say, Adam was thrilled! But, next week is THREE HOURS. Woman tell all and I'm just glad Corrinne will be there to spill her guts. See ya then.

I'm taking a little blogging break. Just need some time to let the inspiration come to me. I will be posting bachelor blogs because honestly I LOVE them. I'll be back in exactly two weeks with regularly scheduled posts. I have some AMAZING new recipes for you guys and some great clothes!

Okay, so the title is absolutely misleading. Not everyone went home this week, but they might has well. I can honestly say I'm not sure if this is going to work out for Nick.

I have three outcome possibilities; (1) he's going to pick someone out of the blue and it won't last long enough to get to the final rose (2) he's going to Juan Pablo us and not propose but want to "continue dating outside the show" or (3) reject everyone and fail at this for a fourth time.

We start back with the result of the two-on-one: Corrinne and Nick are blissfully sipping champs and satisfying each other egos when Taylor walks in. Taylor is pretty ballsy about her feelings and gives it all to Nick and I think she did a pretty good job in sticking up for herself. And to the dismay of the public, Corrinne did not go home at the end of their conversation. Nick goes back to Corrinne to let her know that he's still "interested" in her and then they make-out. Corrinne doesn't seem the slightest bit interested in what Taylor had to say, in fact Corrinne doesn't even seem to be listening to Nick when he talks. She just wants to kiss him.

It's clear that Nick and Corrinne's relationship is primarily sexual. If you compare the TV time their date gets versus anyone else's date, there is literally no talking, just kissing. Let's compare: with Rachel we were able to explore her family dynamic and learn so much more about her. With Vanessa we heard all about her previous relationship and things got very emotional for her and Nick. Raven, same story, she even met his family. With Corrinne, we just watch them make out, and while I'm sure that will keep them going for a while, it will not sustain them. I can guarantee that Nick would have never taken Corrinne to her hometown date.


No cocktail party is always a problem. How many times do I have to watch Corrinne chug her champagne, it's just cuz I'm jealous, I started sober February over again. Whitney is so darling, I really hope she gets some more air time this week.

Spoiler Alert: Shark girl (Alexis), Jaimi and Vienna's look alike go home.

Holy moly, I want to go to St. Thomas. I am dying for a beach vacation. I really wish I could get married again (to Adam, duh) and go on our honeymoon in Grand Cayman again. Ugh. Anything to get some color. Excuse me while I go spray tan.

The worst part about the Bachelor is when they make the girls yell the leads name from a balcony. Without fail, it happens every single time. Balcony at the mansion? Check. Balcony at some huge resort? Check. Man alive. By now we get it ABC. But back to the episode - landing on water would be so awesome!

The first one-on-one: I'm a little surprised he picked Kristina. I understand, we are getting to the point in the season where they aren't many options left for one on ones and to double pick makes it too obvious. That actually happened to Nick in Andi's season. But, Kristina is so beautiful. They seem to be attracted to each other, but I am not really seeming them mesh. I can't tell if they're a good fit. I'm interested to hear more about her life.

I read somewhere that they don't eat the food. They have their day date, go back to their hotel, change, do interviews, and eat, alone. Then, when they come together they don't eat because the mics pick up the sound of them chewing. So Nick making the joke about "lobster for the lady" is hilarious because he knows for sure that they don't eat the food. Instead they just get to watch it get cold and then taken away. Man. What a waste.

Listening to Kristina's story is so incredibly sad. She is a tough cookie. She seems to have it all together. I really enjoy listening to her. They seem to really enjoy each other. But, I still do not see her as his happily ever after.

Poor Lorna, she is wayyyy too good for Corrinne. And Corrinne is a damn joke. Time for her to go. The comedic relief she provides takes away any amount of integrity this show might have.

Group Date: Let's do this. Does anyone feel like this is Ben's pig-island date? Or Andi's wrestling group date where the guy got hurt? Or Chris Soules when he made them ride tractors? It appears that whenever the lead attempts to do a "fun" date, it backfires like woah.

Corrinne is a hot mess, per usual. That is what my hair looks like fresh out of a workout that hasn't been washing in a week.  Can you tell how drunk she is? Wow. This volleyball game is a horrible idea. Girls have fun with this kinda stuff for like 9 minutes and then they break. Boys, take note. Girls wanna date you, not play volleyball.

The whole getting shit faced on tequila was a horrible idea because now all the girls are emotional and depressed. 

Alright Nick, now it's how you pick up the pieces of this shitstorm you've created. But instead they just cry on the beach alone while he walks away. Now, we just wait until the evening? Man. He doesn't have great mitigation experience does he? It is clear that Nick is very interested in Rachel. I for one lovve how honest she is. She is incredible and he obviously thinks so or else he would have reacted to her the way he did to Jasmine. He cares about how she's feeling.

The more and more I watch Raven, the more I love her. Plus her lime yellow/green dress/romper is incredible. And I think her evaluation of Jasmine is super accurate. She's losing her mind. And we've all watched girls like that implode.

Oh my gosh, shut the f*** up. RE: Jasmine. lolz. Now we watch her implode. She is super agreesive with him and you can tell by his body language that he is not at all interested. She is crying her eyes out and he isn't trying to comfort her or really sympathize. You can see that he's not interested. She just loses it.

Spoiler Alert: Jasmine. So glad I don't have to listen to her anymore. 

Woah, Jasmine, throwing out what everyone is thinking. "I don't think this will work for him." Maybe she knows more than we know.

Two-On-One: Bets on if this is more awkward than Taylor and Corrinne? Probs not I have a feeling they both go home, which would be devasting. I am actually super surprised to see these two girls on this date. Danielle was such a front runner for me and its weird to see her fighting for attention. He's not even looking at Danielle when she speaks on the beach. Before he was super interested in her every word, not he looks bored out of his mind. And Whitney looks nice and cozy on the beach. She's cute, and I absolutely agree with her statement that you get to know someone the more you hang out. He didn't really give her a fair shake. This whole beach scene is not good.

Spoiler Alert: Whitney.

Did you guys see how awkward Nick and Danielle were when they were holding hands? So strange? You can tell from the beginning that this is very awkward and seems very forced. He just seems like he is having a miserable time. She literally said she was falling in love and he looked like he wanted to murder her. Why is he such a weirdo. 

I wish we could take a step back and ask Nick what happened. Like what happened between last week, the group date and today. He's saying that he didn't feel it anymore. Like how does that go away with every girl? I don't get it. I'm not sure I've ever seen a lead break this much.

Watching Danielle trying to process what Nick is saying is so so sad. You can see her thinking back on everything shes's said and done to try and figure out what she did wrong. Adam said it right, but Corrinne is still around? I thought for sure, Danielle would win. 



This is nuts. Spoiler Alert: Danielle goes home.

I honestly don't know at this point who is going to win. I mean looking around the couches, who on earth does he pick? Why would he come tell the girls that he doesn't know if its gonna work? Or if he doesn't know he can keep doing it? Like what does that even mean?

What do you guys think? There are only SIX girls left: Danielle, Kristina, Corrinne, Rachel, Raven and Vanessa. Who do you think he picks?

See ya next week!

Happy February everyone! I usually think January is super slow and dull, but here we are February already! Crazy. This las month went so fast and if that is any indication of how this year is gonna go, then woah.

Today, it is a gorgeous sorta chilly 50 degree day, but it is so sunny. What a great start to February.


Let's start with a little bachelor vent sesh -- I do not like that they are starting with the Rose Ceremonies at the beginning of the episode. I get it ABC, you are attempting to hold peoples attention and suspense enough so it carries through until the next episode, but I do not like it.

This week we start back at the Corrine v. Taylor conversation. Here are my thoughts. Taylor is condescending. But, Corrine is super aggressive and absolutely loses her cool. She wants to chat, but is very bitchy in her presentation.

"It hurts me for Nick." Hahahahahaha. Cue, Corrinne running to Nick to throw Taylor under the bus. Corrine telling Nick that Taylor doesn't say hi when she walks by her in the hall just shows how immature Corrinne is. Ladies, we are not in eighth grade.

Anyways, let's get back to the rose ceremony -- Did anyone see the girls breath while they were at the rose ceremony? That is crazy. ABC, you can't throw a heater in this barn? Really. Come on. Our budget is big enough to decorate a fancy barn, throw some heaters in there.

We lose two ladies tonight. Bummer. I still don't know half of their names. But they gone.

That is my goal this week, to learn their names. But first, these voiceovers of Taylor and Corrinne at the rose ceremony are crazy. Absolutely crazy. Why do they make Corrinne and Taylor stand next to each other at the rose ceremony. Taylor looks so disappointed when she gets the rose! Girl, sack up.


Spoiler Alert: Astrid and Sarah. I thought Sarah was SO cute.

Let's talk abut the girls quick: Like Whitney, who are you? You're a babe, but I do not know you. Danielle, you are still one of the front runners in my mind. Rachel, I like you and I'm pretty sure Nick likes you a lot. Jasmine, you are stunning. Jamie, how are you STILL around?! Josephine, you think Taylor is toxic? How, I need examples. Oh and Jo, your hair looks like Vienna's from Jakes season. Vanessa, you are a front runner too. Alexis, known as shark girl, is always making Nick laugh.

To New Orleans we go! This is so fun. I wanna go there! Hint hint, Adam!

Hey, Rachel, how long are you going to hold out on the first impression rose thing.  It's a good thing you got that one-on-one girl, now it'll give you something else to talk about. The more I watch him and Rachel, the more I love her. She seems very down to earth and real. Here is my thought, she is a bonafide attorney - is she gonna wanna stop that? Yes, Andi did. Even though they have passion, I just don't see it. But damn, she is cute.

It's so funny that they're just locked in a hotel room watching them make out. 

That's pretty cool to have dinner around the floats! Rachel and Nick totally have chemistry, it's undeniable. Oh quit it Nicky-poo. Adam is not sold on his emotional toasts. Her dad is a federal judge? Get it.

Taylor is 23 years old! Corrinne is 24 years old! This is crazy cakes. They are more than TEN years younger. I am not saying that cannot work, but reality TV does not bode well for relationships, let alone one with participants born in different decades.

Ghosts and group dates. I wonder if you can turn down a group data if it's stupid. I'm pretty sure Corrinne would if she could. Raven cracks me up that she's gonna revoke it in the name of Jesus. She is so funny. I like her more and more each week. She is starting to get used to this experience and I think handling it the best.

Sidenote --> Guys, last Kentucky Derby, I thought I wanted to try a mint julep because I thought it was festive. GUYS, STAY AWAY. It was so strong, I was instatenly drunk. Blech.

To the haunted house we go: I don't believe in ghosts, but I do not like being scared. I HATE it. I would have cried on this date. And, when I was little, I wasn't allowed to play the Ouiji board. We're you guys?

Did you guys see all the food Corrinne ordered?! Oh man, I am so jealous of her mac and cheese and all her room service for that matter.

Raven and Nick seem so at ease. I really like watching them together. And this plug for beauty and the beast would seem super dumb if I wasn't SO excited to see the movie. Oh, my gosh. I cannot wait. Watch the trailer below!


It's group date time! Oh my gosh, when Corrinne said Make America Corrinne Again, I couldn't help but laugh. Girl is funny. I swear to everything, if I have to listen to Taylor say she has a masters degree and has a high level of emotional intelligence one more time, I might slap her. I totally get why Corrinne is sick of her.

 Ya know, the more and more I watch, the more I think Corrinne might be great for Nick. They can both be famous and narcissistic together. Taylor is starting to drive me crazy. This would be the worst date. Yikes, can you imagine how awkward this conversation is.

I honestly think Nick doesn't see a future with either Corrinne of Taylor. So it's really no shock that he sent Taylor home. Plus, she always has a resting bitch face. Always.

He seriously is just gonna leave her in the swamp? This is so ridiculous, they just leave her out in the swamp until it's pitch dark. 

Watching Taylor get water sprinkled on her Adam said, I have officially lost any ounce of respect I had for this show. I will not be watching this show any more, okay? Thanks a lot ABC.

Taylor is literally becoming the Chad of JoJo's season. Cue the whistling. Like how the hell does she (Taylor) know where they are. 

Oh my gosh, the bloopers that Alexis thinks seeing Nicholas Cage would be the scariest thing is the funniest thing Ive ever seen. She is so dang funny.

What do we think is gonna happen? Do we think he actually sends Corrinne home? Next week is gonna be so damn good.

I've given up, I just cant do it anymore babe. 

What about you guys? Have you given up like Adam has? What do you think is gonna happen next week? In the preview, all the girls are constantly crying. I for one, cannot wait.

When we first started watching the Bachelor, I was absolutely sure that I did not want to watch this season. Then I started watching and I was excited. And now, the more and more Corrinne is around. I'm starting to question this season again. I think she is hilarious. but I absolutely do not believe she is here to get married. I mean, by now, you've all seen the 2 Chains video she was in. She is clearly here to pursue her rap career....


That was a joke people. But seriously, does she, at 24 want to get married to a 36 year old? Who knows, but it seems unlikely at this point.

This threat that girls are going to leave because Nick keeps Corrinne is just nuts. No girl has ever left and no girl will leave. I have seen worse girl on other seasons and no one leaves. What would be the point of the girls leaving?



Spoiler Alert: Kristen, spelled Christen? (why does her hair look like it was wet?) and Brittany (I'm pretty sure I've never seen this girl before)

Wait, are we already going to Nicks hometown? I mean, yes we did go to Ben's house pretty early on, but it seems a bit premature. Nick's parents seem like the cutest little buns. They obviously really want this to work. "We don't want to see you on this show again." Us either, Nicks dad, us either.

When's he's talking to the girls in a group, why does he stand so far away from them? Anyone? Danielle L is so darn cute. I think it speaks volume that he picked her for his hometown date. If we remember correctly, Ben brought Lauren on his hometown date to visit his rec center. Just sayin.

Seriously, Nick runs into his ex at a coffee shop? I mean, don't you think ABC has to pre-approve everything? I once had a friend that auditioned for a show on ABC and the NDAs she said she had to sign were outrageous. And she only auditioned. Can you imagine if Nick actually did "accidental" run into his ex. She would have to sign her life away right there in the middle of "downtown" Waukesha, WI. I highly doubt it.

This is so darn awkward. This is super boring. And super long. I really like Danielle. Her date was cute with Nick, but in comparison to Vanessa's last week, it lacked a lot of the intimacy. One of the best parts about the Bachelor is when you get to dance in front of cool people. Chris Soules with Big and Rich, JoJo had someone, I cannot remember. But I like Chris Lane, and his song is bomb.com.



This group date. Yikes. I mean this has to be the worst season EVER for group dates. They are miserable, miserable. See yaaaaa. Referring to the Russian girl. I agree with Adam, I do not see her sticking around. She seems kind of dull. I think she is absolutely beautiful though. Babe, she cannot be serious. She is just on the show for ratings. Re: Corrinne. Poop, poop, poop. Yikes. And they're all wearing real clothes. Couldn't Chris Harrison or the date card better prepared them for this?

Oh my gosh, the nap conversation. Michael Jordan took naps. She is definitely going on Bachelor in Paradise. She seems to be cracking a little because she is getting funnier. And the whole nap thing, story of my life girlfriend. I was just telling Adam how I could never be the President of the US (for a thousand other reasons) but I get too tired too quickly. I would have to take way too many naps.

Can we just get this damn thing over with? It would appear that Adam is losing patience with our Monday night Bach tradition.

I think Raven is a sleeper. At first I pegged her for a small town southern girl. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I did not peg her as the type of girl Nick would date. PS is her shirt unbuttoned? Oh Bella, this must mean that Raven wins. Bella is Nicks first girl. Bella is probably the coolest girl in the 8th grade. Her bro has been on TV for like the last 10 years. Raven is a bun. She is so dang sweet. I like her.

Back to the girls at the house. Why are they sitting in the bath tub? Babe, this is verrrryyyyy trying. I'm going to have to get him a present. This girl (Raven) has gotta be like are you f***ing kidding me of all the one-on-ones you took me to an arcade with a bunch of kids. 

Adam noticed that during their skating slash make out sesh that she had roller skates on one minute and then she had on roller blades So observant. And this whole time I thought he wasn't watching.

Raven is a badass. Did you hear what she did to that cheating doctor? Now everyone in her small town knows that guy is a totally ass.

Oh my gosh, Taylor  is so damn irritating. I cannot handle her. All she does is whine. I'm pretty sure she hasn't even had a conversation with him. Has this girl learned nothing about this show? The one that just bitches the whole time is the one who always goes home. Remember when Leah tried to throw Lauren under the bus to Ben? PS I'm so jealous of whatever Corrinne is eating.

Taylor would be exhausting to date. This show is exhausting to watch. Thank goodness it is only on once a week.

See ya'll next Wednesday. Don't forget to follow me on Twitter to get all the real-time deets.

Lola got spayed yesterday, poor little bun. She is currently sitting at my feet with a cone on her head, acting so so pathetic. I mean. I get it. If I got lady parts cut out I'd probably want to sleep all day too.

The worst part about having animals is when they're in pain. It's the worst. I just keep giving her treats and pain meds (in appropriate doses) hoping she'll forgive me for this. But hey, her little bandaged leg (she got a dew claw removed too) is so darn cute. They even put a little green heart on it.


I find myself every Monday getting more and more excited for the Bachelor. I cannot tell if this excitement is because the girls are so nuts, or because I love hearing how crazy Corrinne's life is, but I freaking love it. Plus, it's fun watching Nick squirm while he tries to figure all this out. You can tell when Nick really likes a girl because he mumbles like crazy. He has this sheepish smile and you can barely understand him. But I'm glad to hear he is a fan of Danielle because I love her. I think she's smart and classy. See week one when I picked her as a front runner.


This season right now. It's all sex, all the time. Talking about Liz, Corrinne and her golden vagine trying to up Liz, people worrying about the sex. Man alive. This season sure got raunchy quick. Can't we just go back to the good old days when we pretended it didn't exist.

She cant be real, she has to be a hired actress, a stand-in for rating. No one can be that f-word nuts. <--- referring to Corrinne.

Literally Corrinne not showing up for the rose ceremony just proves her immaturity. Here'e my paragraph on Corrinne. It's clear that she's beautiful. She must be smart to run her parents company but it's clear her self-esteem is super low. No-one flaunts that much sexuality and va-va-voom without something going on being the scenes. I'm not saying you can't be a sexual person and not be a strong woman. Please don't take this that way. I'm just saying, the way she flips back and forth and is so defensive, I think it's more than just sex. I have a feeling we are going to see a breakdown here, but in bigger proportions than the whipped cream one. I think she's probably a little sad and really just needs some good girls in her life to tell her that men shouldn't be the only thing that validates her. So from here on out, I'm just gonna leave Corrinne as a person alone. But Raquel on the other hand, let's get that Nanny on TV people! 

I know it's only been three episodes, but I like Nick more and more with each passing episode. This too may pass but he's getting better.

Vanessa is too much for me. She's tooooo whiny. We are only one week in, ladies, hold your shit together.

Did you see the shark/dolphin girl say "Move Bitches" yes yes yes.


I really wish Chris Harrison was around more. Didn't he used to be around a lot more in previous seasons, I love him. The best part, is at this stage in the game, Chris Harrison doesn't even know the girls names. Me either Chris, me either.

Spoiler Alert: Girls go home early this episode: Lacy,  Hailey, and a blonde girl but I don't know her name.

Sees a preview for the Backstreet Boys, "Babe, this episode already sucks."

Can I just fan girl for a second. Backstreet Boys are literally amazing. Granted, N'Sync is better, but man alive. Backstreet Boys was second best for sure. I loved them so much. I still love boy and the First time I saw N'Sync, I cried. yep. I'd be like BYE NICK V. HI BSB. Corrinne was not old enough to know BSB when they originally came out. She must know them from their comeback tour in 2013.

Even the Backstreet Boys are making fun of Nicks 4-peat Bachelor return. Is it mean or does Danielle kind of look like Andi. This would be so horrible. Talking about Danielle kissing Nick. This is not romantic. Jasmine, I am with you! I am sick of talking about Corrinne. That girl is always sleeping!

I have to love Nicks self-deprecating nature. The fact that he calls out how awkward this process, makes him a little more real for me. Oh, and him and Danielle, swoon. Just roll out girl. Adam talking about the girls that keep whining.

This date was pretty awesome. Granted, I would be scared out of my space suit, how cool would it be! Man on man. Adam and I joke that we should pretend we don't know each other so we can go on the Bachelor and go on cool dates. I think they'd catch on after all the one-on-ones were just us.

Kiss after puke, yum. When she said that she wouldn't have made it without Nick there, Adam said but did you die? Oh man. He's on a roll tonight. Wow, Nicky-poo shedding some tears for Vanessa. This chick is terribly boring. I kind of like Vanessa. I think she brings out a great side of Nick, but I also think she's not fun enough. Nick said the thing he liked about Corrinne is how fun she is. Yes, I get you need a good combo of the two, but Vanessa is just kinda blah. Even on a fun date she was just a little too dull.

ALLYSON FELIX. That is amazing. She has a yorkie, like Henry, did you know that. We're basically best friends. There are lots of boobies on this date. Oh Astrid, Lululemon has full support bras. I linked them here for ya girlfriend. Next time you should maybe think about bringing one.

The creepy music when they show the hot tub and nick, gross. This whole date is just kind of miserable except for the Allyson Felix part. '

Remember when Sean Lowe was the Bachelor and kissed like 5 girls? And then he skipped the fantasy suite? Welp, I have officially lost track of the girls Nick has kissed. I'm pretty sure he's kissed everyone but 5. And I don't think the fantasy suite will be an option. Just sayin.

BYE DOMINIQUE. This is where I give Nick major props. He knew he wasn't feeling it and he sent her packing. That is what respectable leads do. It's unfortunately that Dominique mixed up attention with actual feelings, but I'm glad he slip ways before it got to be too much.

Alright, well that wraps up another edition of what Adam said while watching the Bachelor. I think he's catching on to me because every time he says something I'm trying and last time he tried to peek at my ipad which is a no-no with unedited blog posts anyways.. but I think he's suspecting something.


Have the best week everyone! We'll see you next week!

I said I was only going to blog every other week. I said I was going to tweet with the show Monday night. I said I was going to have this post out first thing Wednesday morning. But ya know what, life did not want me to run on any sort of schedule this week.

This crazy show sucks me in and I have to blog about it. I'm hoping it's weekly but all I know is that it's crazy up in here and deserves to be talked about. We can all thank the National Championship Monday night (go Clemson!) for my lack of tweeting Monday night. The game was too good and my husband was too excited. So, let's just say I took one for the team and watched 4 hours of football. I'll make up for it with lots of Bachelor watching. Then the week hit like a damn bat out of hell and the things I wanted to get done yesterday, probably wont get done until Saturday and that is just this week.

But ya know what? We are here, we are blogging and Nick is still the Bachelor. So I promise NEXT week I will tweet Monday and have the post to ya first thing Wednesday morning, at least I'll try.


Let's get to it shall we? We are finally in the season of group dates. I think we can all agree that dating in a group would suck. There is no way around it. Watching a girl you probably hate take the guy you are "dating" behind a wall to go make-out would probably feel like a sucker punch to the gut. But here is my disclaimer that I scream at the TV weekly - you knew what you were signing up for ladies.

Group Date 1: Is it just me or do these girls seem overly giddy about everythingggggg. Date card, whoooooo. Chris Harrison, whooooooo. Mimosas, whooooooo. Buicks, whooooooooo! Maybe it's the nerves, or maybe these girls have never seen a Buick before, the world may never know.

She (Corinne) is really making sure everyone knows she was the first to kiss him. This whole thing is so dumb. Corrinne is so dumb. 

I cannot help but agree with Adam that this is so dumb. This has to be the worst/raunchiest date - maybe not as bad as when Chris Soules made the girls ride tractors in bikinis, but too close to call.
It's pretty damn clean, they are all just kissing him because they think they should. Blech. But the one girls comment about it tasting like Danielle was hilarious. Side-note, I cannot wait until I know their names.

Let's jump to the Liz saga so we can be done with her: I swear to god if we have to hear one more time that she met Nick at Jade and Tanners wedding. OH MY LORD. I understand that the way the producers did this is so it sounds like shes actually saying it that much but really its just a voice-over, but still. Good gracious. She is starting to seem a little crazy town. and her faux-breakup with Nick seemed a lot. Nick is not buying the bullshit Liz is spewing.

Now to Corrinne: Corinne, you are gross and pretty classless. I'm over you. Oh, and brush your hair.

What is Corrinne doing?! Why does Nick keep letting her interact? Is this the third time? He's an idiot. 

One-on-one: Danielle is so darn cute, I LOVE that she got the first date. They are so darling together! She is seriously the sweetest girl ever and she's beautiful. I think they are so darn cute. I love watching them interact. They're both a little nerdy, a little quiet, but compliment each other so well. I think she is going to go pretty far in this game, I mean show, I mean relationship.

Oh my gosh, this conversation between Kristen and Liz is crazy. "I didn't know him like that" except you slept together -- so. Liz, you are starting to sound nuts and Kristen might kill you. PS I know that's not how her Kristen is spelled, but my way is easier.

Group Date 2: Borrrrrringgggggggg. This has to be the worst group date ever.  Slash this is so awkward. Does he mumble or is it me? Does Kristen look like she's 10? This group date was so horrible that I have nothing to say about it. I am bored.


Alright there you have it. Spoiler alert: Liz went home. Now, hopefully we never have to hear that voice-over that she slept with Nick ever again. But I guarantee it will come back to haunt us all. Next week should be interesting as they all finally find out about Nick's dirty drunk little secret.

We are back. Can you believe it? I'm pretty sure the Bachelor airs more times in a year than Keeping up with the Kardashians, which is almost impossible. But, here we are. This is Nicks fourth time on some version of the Bachelor. Runner up with Andi. runner up with Kaitlyn, dumped Jen and now Chris decided it would be a good idea for him be the one. He has been coined the most hated Bachelor in History. What are your thoughts? Were you glad to see Nick back? I for one am undecided.

If you're new around here, welcome! A little about me. I love the Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise so much that I blog about it every week. I don't have time to do laundry, but you better believe I have two hours Monday night to blog along. If you don't like the Bachelor, feel free to skip my Wednesday posts. They don't last for long and they're usually pretty funny. Plus, Adam commentates (he doesn't know though, so please don't tell him if you see him).

I'm changing things up a little bit, I'm gonna be posting on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. I need a little extra time to make the post just right. And, I might only post every other week-- except when I told my friend that, she said that was a bad idea and she wanted a post every week. Thoughts? I need your insight! I'm going to try and tweet more Monday nights so make sure to find me there (kristengrace1)

Adam is convinced that this is going to be the worst season in the history of bachelor. And that is saying a lot because I think he secretly likes watching with me. Yes, he reads the WSJ the entire time, but I know he secretly has one eye on the TV. He even asked if we should play fantasy bachelor. He's hooked.


Let's get to the episode. The first episode is always a little anti-climactic for me. We meet the girls, realize they're all at least 10 years younger than the lead and discover new job titles, like aspiring dolphin trainer, that is not a thing.

Ben, Chris and Sean gossiping about Nick while drinking what is supposed to look like whiskey, but I would assume is some kind of diet pop. I think we could turn this season into a pretty intense drinking game. Every time someone says. "I hated you" or some version of hate/despise or when someone says "Fourth times a charm" DRINK. His last name is vile? If you forgot, all italics are Adam.

Does anyone make the connection that Andi was an attorney and so is the first girl Rachel? Hmm, curious (and she gets the first impression rose? I'm sensing a type).

Oh my gosh, the special needs teacher, break my heart, she is so sweet and those kids are so cute. Josephine, no. Gosh, the girls are so young this year, isn't he like 40? 

Corine is gorgeous, but I think she is going to be the shit stirrer and is probably only here to get Instagram famous. Betches on Instagram posted a photo saying "All the girls that get sent home the first night are just sad they cant sell tea on Instagram now" That is Corinna to a t!

Danielle, the baby nurse seems really normal - I'm sending her to top 4 status. Of course there is a girl that Nick already knows and slept with. Way to create drama right off the bat.

I'm calling it, this is going to be the worst season.

Expectations are pretty low over here people. Danielle is a stunner and he's impressed. Christen is a little celebrity nuts. Law school graduate is not a career - trust me. Balls, beard massages and the hotdog in the book, yikes. I'm starting to agree with Adam that this season might be a little bad.

Why is this season so sexual? I liked it before when it was all latent tension with no actual sex talk. Oh my gosh, the shark/dolphin, that cannot be real.

Oh god, this whole thing is highly unfortunate. Corinne is going to be the crazy girl.

I think it is so funny when girls act all surprised when one girls steals Nick and start talking crap. Ladies, we know you've seen this, you know what is going to happen. Man up. Yes, Jasmine, congrats, you are the first to cry! Rachel, first rose! Yeah girl!

Babe, I just don't think this is gonna be a good one.

My picks for top 4: Danielle L. Danielle M., Rachel, Astrid. Let's be real, this is the first season I don't see a super top front runner.

Alright, that was it. How ya feeling? Here's who went home. I don't know who anyone is yet, so this doesn't mean a lot, but byyyy felicas.
