However, please do pay attention to your own as I have, on several occasions, errors in your writing. Most importantly, in all of your blogs you move between past and present tense without rhyme nor reason. As an English major you should know that when writing about a text -- any text (and TV counts here) -- you always stick to one; the present. Elsewhere, you make syntactical and grammatical mistakes which are not -- as in some instances, I'm well-aware -- intentional. For instance, in the latest posting you write "...while we see Tenley and Vienna get their make up [sic] done and hair did...". Certainly you know it should read "their makeup and hair done". I'm just saying that since you're setting a good example -- which I'm so relieved to see -- you have to be above reproach yourself if we are to take your grammatical barbs seriously.<br /><br />Otherwise, love your writing and caustic wit. I too am a Lincee turncoat and new, ardent fan.<br /><br />Cheers from Canada!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992911842243998713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-80452055732705090692010-02-16T16:41:09.985-06:002010-02-16T16:41:09.985-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083836514985391803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-1967043497921450672010-02-02T19:17:47.740-06:002010-02-02T19:17:47.740-06:00Nothing plays Love Connection better than the stre...Nothing plays Love Connection better than the streets of San Franciso. Ah, the sunshine state. California. GORGEOUS!! <br /><br />I mean, if you like the hills and you like pretty ladies, San Francisco is definitely the place to be. <br /><br />On second thought, maybe the producers determined after the shooting of the first few episodes that it was necessary to go to San Fran to give Jake additional options. Maybe that's this season's "twist." Maybe Vienna really does have a sausage. You think I'm joking? Go watch The Crying Game. <br /><br />I will say it was pretty risky to go to San Fran given Jake's propensity to cry on bridges. I mean, the Golden Gate Bridge is after all the location with the highest number of suicides. It's true. Look it up. <br /><br />Maybe the producers should have kept Michelle around a while longer with them being in San Fran. Imagine the sponsorship they lost out on..."and now a word from tonight's sponsor -- Emerald Nuts." <br /><br />I disagree with your contention that the show was racially insensitive to the Chinese people in last night's show. Think about it. Neither Vienna or Ali wore the infamous yellow dress last night. And although I do fast forward through the commercials, I think I would have noticed if there were any Rice-a-Roni advertisements. <br /><br />And what's up with unlimited amount of bubbly on this show? Can't someone mix in a tea bag every now and then?? That was Vienna's mistake when she sneaked into the Bat Cave. <br /><br />WRONG<br /><br />V: A nice glass of bubbly to end the night? <br /><br />J: No thanks, I've had enough tonight. <br /><br />RIGHT<br /><br />V: A little tea bag as a night cap?? <br /><br />J: Definitely!! <br /><br />I'm just saying. That would have left Jake singing "MMM MMM MMM MMM" in a deeper voice than Brad Roberts (lead singer of Crash Test Dummies) with a cold.<br /><br />(BTW, shouldn't that have been Gia with her Joker smile who sneaked into the Bat Cave.)<br /><br />I think one of the remaining girls just needs to reach around Jake and his Tom Cruise laugh and finish him off already. <br /><br />Until next week....I'll be looking for Jake at OCH taking a shot in the can.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799292327675706921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-34998410270721401942010-02-02T15:05:51.247-06:002010-02-02T15:05:51.247-06:00Thank you, Courtney.

I do see more supportive signs of a Vienna victory considering the last pre-RC-chopping-block scene the producers strategically share of Jake taking Vienna on a lengthy tour of his hotel room. They've been editing and cutting such scenes away until now, likely to build viewer's doubt. Still, Tenley just seems more agreeable (aka, vapid, opinionless) and virginesque - characteristics Jake clearly decided at age 5 he had to have in his future wife. As for a glimpse of Gia's abrasive NY parents, we get a next week peek of mom at dinner, and yea, Gia has surgically massaged off any remnants of the Bronx bulldog. I also get the sense from the clips that Gia's the one with the big secret revealed to Jake in the next episode and will be leaving. Chris Harrison: "There will be no rose ceremony this time ladies." ...b/c only 3 will be left…Ali, Tenley & Vienna. We'll surely see. In the meantime, I'll be drinking a glass of wine and contemplating this delicacy you referenced, San Fran tube steak.CourtEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818566074432155705noreply@blogger.com
