I agree, though. I have to hope that the booze and the stress created by the new environment pushed her to that point. At some point, her mental health needs to be considered instead of the ratings. I'm still hoping she'll rally but I'm not very hopeful. Then again, maybe Harrison was in there with her.

"...where...Best line of the recap, maybe ever:<br />"...where she’ll undoubtedly get her finger caught in a dike". Priceless.<br /><br />This might have been the most uncomfortable I've ever been watching this show. I was cringing in embarrassment for almost two hours straight between British Butt Chin's costume changes and Swahili lessons, Emily's white girl rap, and whatshername's guilty verdict finger pistol. <br /><br />Lyndzi's my current favorite too - I think she's the prettiest and seems down to earth, or as much as anyone who signs up for this show can be. I'm with Derek and the Boys though - I do not think Jenna is very attractive at all. Comparatively speaking, she's got a leg up on some of the "ladies", but in general I wouldn't even call her pretty, let alone gorgeous.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025616113625172187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-21700533046933285952012-01-04T10:46:57.985-06:002012-01-04T10:46:57.985-06:00I really need to stop drinking before, during and ...I really need to stop drinking before, during and after this show so I can remember a detail or two.

I can't get past her HUGE porcelain-capped chompers. When you are watching the show and see her open her mouth, know that I am here in Houston gagging ;) Oh, and her tattoo is stupid. I honestly thought it was going to be a Krazy Kasey joke when she said, "that's my heart and that's the key..." <br /><br />And why did I see some girls sporting the tank top/scarf look?!?

I can't believe that we are so far ...Oh, DP!!! I can't believe that we are so far apart on Monica and Jenna. I would never go so far as to call Jenna gorgeous. Me and the boys also thought that Jenna started trouble with Monica right from the start by questioning her commitment to the bachelor after only an introduction. I think that you are partial to Jenna only because of your attraction to her. However, we still love you and don't blame you. After all, even though you have great insight and are in touch with your feminine side....you are still a heterosexual male and your head will never be 100% clear when evaluating women. With that said, you were "spot on" (as usual) with assessments of most of the other women. That's one thing about gay men. We can size women up without even a hint of jealousy that often clouds judgement in most females and evaluate women using 100% focus without any of the little sexual distractions that pop into hetro-males heads every 30 seconds. The best way to understand this is to go watch the movie "Limitless" and watch the powers that Bradley Cooper (OMG don't get me started) exhibits after he takes his new drug. That's what me and the boys are like when we critique the ladies. Total clarity.<br /><br />On the flip side, when the bachelorette season rolls around and there are 25 guys running around without shirts, it's like kryptonite and these super powers disappear. Half of the cuban missile crisis just keeps accusing everyone of being secretly gay and giggles the whole time during the show. <br /><br />Nevertheless, none of us can captivate an audience like you do with your sense of humor and charm. You are truly the best and me and the boys in South Beach appreciate your dedication to your blog and all of your readers.<br /><br />Love and laughs,<br />Derek and the boysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-23315038927541003302012-01-03T21:40:18.027-06:002012-01-03T21:40:18.027-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stacey Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101143298665736586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-2796707808763795602012-01-03T20:37:46.663-06:002012-01-03T20:37:46.663-06:00Nice take on the ladies...great start to this for ...Nice take on the ladies...great start to this for sure ridiculous season.
