The Bachelorette..yes I've been sucked in! (post #1)

So this is the first season I've watched The Bachelorette, and I've never even seen The Bachelor. There's something about Emily though that drew me in, and even from one episode, I'm hooked. I love the fact that they are in Charlotte so that Emily can be with her daughter, Ricki, the whole time and also so that Ricki can be kind of involved in the show.


Lets start off talking about some of the 25 guys who are vying for her attention. There were a few that stuck out to me, some for good reasons and others for not so good reasons.

  • Kalon - he claims to have changed his womanizing and obnoxious ways and is looking to really settle down. Well, word up, having your grand entrance as being dropped off by a helicopter is going to solidify you as an obnoxious guy who really seems too out there for what Emily is looking for.
  • Ryan - he seems like a great guy and there for the right reasons. (well, providing those reasons involve 15 minutes of fame and all that jazz...) It will be interesting to see him develop with Emily.
  • Charlie - he immediately got me by the heart strings and I think he might be my favorite right now. He just seems like the sweetest guy in the world. he did have a traumatic brain injury, but he seems to have bounced back from it. And his line will go down in guys pick up line books all over the world, saying his head might be hurt but there is nothing wrong with his heart. (cue girls panites dropping..now.)
  • Jef - with one F, is a guy who in his video package I was not a fan of at all but seeing him interact with the other men as well as Emily I kind of started to like him. Time will tell if he is a good fit or not.
  • David - there had to be one super creative and out there guy, and it looks like they picked him! When doing his video package he seemed to write a song for Emily, which was just singing her name a few dozen times...and he calls himself a singer/songwriter. For my tastes personally he is not someone I liked right out of the gate. He is too creative and all that for me. But maybe she'll fall for that?
  • Arie - ok, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for racers, and cute ones at that. Arie is pretty much what I have dreamed about in terms of looks and career for a guy for me to be with. Is it bad to hope that Emily doesn't pick him and he somehow finds me and we get the happy ending that he was hoping to have with her? I'll keep dreaming about that one.. :)
There were a lot of other guys, 19 others to be exact, that we were kind of introduced to but I didn't get a strong feel from any, as we weren't really introduced to them. One person who I immediately was turned off by was Mikie. Talk about the snitch and a$$ of the group. I get that Kalon coming in on a copter was annoying and pompous and a dick move, but do you have to CONSTANTLY bring it up when sitting with the other guys. He wanted that attention, so congrats on giving it to him!

I am hoping that by doing this feature I will be updating my blog at least once a week, if not twice. Please bare with me as I just got a second job, but hopefully with that extra income I can maybe afford internet at my house and can blog in my own house and not have to find free wi-fi randomly to do it.

Check out the episode here if you missed it!

What do you think, so far, of The Bachelorette? Anyone I didn't mention to you stand out in a good or bad way??
