Cleaner-upper is my official job and the exhaustion is making sure things still get done while everyone stays happy on both sides. I can appreciate a strong person who isn't a pushover (my initial impression of Andi in JP's season) but something about her is just off to me. To quote one of my friends, "she's smart but there's just no 'there' there."

I still stand behind my claim with Andi being the most stunning bachelorette, but to each his own. Unlike you and most of the commenters on here, I'm not bored at all, but you can chalk that up to my infatuation with Andi, I guess.

He seemed like one of the good ones. <br /><br />Finally, I need to mention that (a) every city, state, or country Andi visits is instantly branded as "a great place to fall in love," and (b) the formal, communion-serving posture she takes when she's handing out roses is truly bizarre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-8894286820611411842014-06-18T13:33:25.289-05:002014-06-18T13:33:25.289-05:00Yea, the whole cocktail party hair was very weird....Yea, the whole cocktail party hair was very weird.

You and Lincee are my ...Thanks for writing for us! You and Lincee are my favorite blogs. I completely understand finding time to blog. I did it for about six months and had a bit of a following, but I just could not handle the time pressures and constant need to keep up with it to make it successful. It's an incredible amount of work even to get to a tiny income.<br /><br />Anyway, I am also bored out of my mind. I always hate the “in between” time where we can basically tell who the final four or five are. But we are also forced to watch extremely lame and publicly humiliating group dates, and Andi saying things like “perfect place to fall in love” and “letting my guard down.” I expect that from the 22 year old contestants, but not the bachelorette. I really expected more substance and interesting conversations instead of her immature and manipulative statements. I hated the comment about “If I was your wife, would you tell me?” Well, if you were his wife, would you have a room full of other men that you are dating? I think there’s a reason Chris Harrison keeps trying to “sell” how wonderful Andi is. I’m not buying it.<br /><br />Fav line: J.J. is apparently an Instigator-preneur as well as a Pantsapreneur.

However, if by "fixing" things you mean that you ALWAYS know what's best and you KNOW the RIGHT way to do things, then I'd say that's a bad thing. Perhaps relinquishing some control would lead to a less "exhausting" state of being. For what it's worth, I'm not picking up a negative vibe in your comments.

I think I made the point early on that Josh identifies himself as a former pro athlete rather than whatever it is he currently does to pay for his teeth whitening. I don't know if she's "boring" as much as she's sort of a one trick pony. I don't see a whole lot beyond her first date persona. It's good to have another attorney in the mix. Thanks for reading.

First, a...So much YES about everything you wrote. First, as an attorney, I am bothered by the fact that Andy compromised her legal integrity by going on this show (and taking a leave during a murder trial to do it)...and also befuddled by her bosses. What kind of "career" is she expecting to have?<br /><br />Second, when asked by Josh what she is good at, Andi's response was mind games. Ummm...run, men, run. <br /><br />Third, Josh drives me crazy. I haven't believed a word that has come out of his mouth the entire season. As a prosecutor, her BS meter should be pinging off the charts with him. The man has mentioned his career in the minor leagues a ridiculous amount and seems to have the depth of a mud puddle. BUT, I predict she chooses him. She's clearly smitten...enough to ignore all good sense. <br /><br />Ultimately, my problem with Andi is that she is boring and doesn't really have a great personality or any charisma or charm.
