Re: Blake & Holly - Discussion - Thread #1

She only had cold feet for a few days. Some of this has to be Michael. They got back together then he wanted to claim that he wasn't going to give her the ring back because he only wanted to propose one time to one woman? Why did he take her back then break up with her 4 months later ... and now months later is still crying about it?

Maybe they need to take some lessons from JP and Ashley on communication because she still doesn't know why he broke up with her and he's still crying! LOL!

I thought it was funny how RS said he basically wants Michael to be the next Bachelor, because he knows it would drive Holly nuts! However, I already know this show would have her be on the show somehow to ruin it, if he were...ugh!

RS used to like Holly. I'm betting he probably tried to hit on her when she and Michael broke up so now he wants to irritate her.

He always claims he doesn't get invested in these couples and doesn't care if any of the contestants find love, so it's weird to me that he even cares about Michael and Holly breaking up and Holly going out with Blake.

Anytime someone says they don't care it means they do.... a lot. Rs is one of those people.

Jesse C sure gave the smack down on Holly in his blog! I can't say that I didn't agree with him on that part, but his reaction to Graham was off.

Jesse C was slammed quite a bit during Deanna's season because of his NFP, I too don't agree with him slamming Graham, Jesse comes across as a juvenile. Wonder if TPTB will continue to allow him to do his blog if all he is going to do is slam the participants.

I noticed Elan retweeting Michael's tweet to Jesse. The BOY is still mad because DeAnna and Holly dumped him. He's still jealous of Graham as everyone knows that Graham was supposed to be DeAnna's F1. Funny, DeAnna, Stephen, Michael and Graham are all friends now. Despite Jesse's sobbing youtube video when DeAnna left him, he was calling/texting Holly 2 days after DeAnna split so he definitely had an agenda. When DeAnna left him, Jesse systematically spread rumors to 'fans' via private emails bashing her and saying she used him and strung him along until she got that job on Get Married (as if he would be an acceptable part of the package). When Holly dumped him, he did the same thing ... telling people she used him to try to get her books published. Imagine that! A guy who, from what I hear, didn't finish high school, and is barely literate would be an asset to a college educated woman seeking to publish her books. What possible in would he have into the publishing world? That's insane to me.

I cannot believe he is still not over those women or the men who they preferred over him. Graham has a legitimate charity. We haven't heard hide nor hair about Jesse's charity since a failed fundraiser a couple of years ago. His mother was doing most of the work anyway. I don't think any of them had a clue what they were doing which is probably why it never really did much but give him more publicity when he needed to put himself out there.

This guy was chosen by DeAnna more than 3 years ago and the engagement didn't even last 6 months. Now he's the self-proclaimed 'godfather' of the franchise? Look at who his core group of folks are in the beatdown! He manages to draw in some decent folks as window dressings but all of the snark and flavor of the show comes from the bottom feeders of the franchise ... those who were disgruntled in some way. I cannot believe Trista would soil herself with this nonsense and I think Ashley Spivey is too new and naive to know any better.

I refuse to read his stuff or visit to give him more hits since he claims that it is source of income but I see stuff posted all over the place. I cannot imagine how his wife feels knowing that he is still so passionate about the two other women in the franchise who came before her. The guy is a washed up snowboarder who was never Olympic material. He has no education, no job and no real skill outside of modern day pan-handling, begging for freebies from companies by posting unsolicited rave reviews on twitter and on his website and doing this two-bit blogging where he is supposedly paid by the number of hits he gets. I feel sorry for him but especially his child. His wife knew full well what she was getting into because he was screwing around with several other women across the country as he did bar crawls and reunions. She had showdowns with no less than two of these women - one quite publicly on the last reunion cruise. The other spoke to a rag last summer right before his wedding and he started dating her right after Holly dumped him and before he even met his wife (whom he wouldn't commit to until the other women started coming out of the woodwork). I doubt they'd be married had she not trapped herself by getting pregnant. If she ever leaves him, trust, he will be the victim - again.

Blake’s Bachelor Pad Blog: Episode 2

First and foremost, please keep Michelle Money in your hearts and prayers. Her family has seen a number of devastating events in the past few days and she could surely use your heartfelt support. Thanks.

Okay Bachelor Pad fans, as if you’re not inundated enough with extraneous information and deleted scenes, they’ve asked for my take on this week’s episode. We start out the show with the egg toss, which most people remember as a fun filled activity for youngsters during field day. Leave it to the twisted minds that create these challenges (ahem, Chris Harrison) to figure out a way to turn this classic kids’ game into the drama-inducing pot stirrer you all witnessed. Many of those questions were tough to answer, and you didn’t really want to throw an egg at anyone. But then again, how often do you get to throw a paint filed egg at someone? So, BOMBS AWAY. Let me just say, standing next to Jake was a mistake. Talk about collateral damage. The girls did a pretty great job connecting with their targets (I think I only saw ONE egg get thrown directly into the ground, Holly). Kudos to Melissa and Jackie for making it a tight race and for not hitting me. Melissa wound up victorious and selected myself, Kasey, and Kirk to accompany her on her date. Can you guess her “type?”

When it’s the guys’ turn to toss the eggs, things seemed to get a little more personal. The distribution of shots seemed to be much more concentrated on the number 8 position. And by that I mean ERICA GOT LIT UP! I honestly felt bad for her. Sticks and stones definitely hurt, but paint filled eggs leave a vivid abstract collage for all to see. At least when Michael connected with her for the third time, and the win, he selected her as a date companion along with Holly and Michelle. Not a bad consolation prize, especially considering she consults her astrologer regularly and believes firmly in spirits among us. I’m really glad Michael wasn’t pelting me with eggs because A) I probably would’ve cried too, and B) I want nothing to do with Linda Vista hospital. Ghosts are not my thing!

Yachting! Now there’s something I could get used to. Going on Melissa’s date along with Kirk and Kasey was fun, and it was the perfect opportunity to stretch my strategic legs. This is, after all, a game. A game in which the winner stands to receive a considerable chunk of change, but they have to earn roses along the way to do so. If I’m playing chess, I’m not going to leave my queen unused for fear of hurting the other players’ feelings when I win. Just like I wasn’t going to ignore flirting with Melissa as a viable tactic in this war of deceit that is Bachelor Pad. It was never my intention to conjure up such strong emotions in her, however. We did kiss, twice even. But I’m afraid she lost sight of the fact that we only went on ONE DATE! She’s a great woman and I wish her the best, but intimacy or a relationship between us was never even discussed. So, I’ll be honest, being compared to Bentley from my season of The Bachelorette stung. The Bachelorette is a dating show where true love is the goal; Bachelor Pad, conversely, is a game show where winning $250,000 is EVERYONE’S goal. Believe me, if I had even the slightest hint of the maelstrom from Melissa (of which us viewers only caught a glimpse) that my actions would precipitate, I would have personally handed that rose to Kasey on a silver platter and taken my chances at the rose ceremony. But I chose my strategy in this case and lived with the outcome. I do have to say, it was not a proud moment watching myself say things that ended up hurting someone. I never meant for Melissa to get so caught up in the emotional side of a strategic game, and for that I truly am sorry. A fact I’m sure Jackie will attest to: war is going to have casualties. You can’t make an omelet without breaking some paint filled eggs. The Mask showed us that didn’t he?

Speaking of losses, it’s time for our favorite pilot to cut his and taxi onto the runway so he can fly home. Jake asking Vienna and Kasey for help was difficult to watch. There was no shot in hell they were going say, “Sure, we’ll work to keep you around. By the way, thanks for the rose last week, pal.” You’ve got to give it to him, though. The guy certainly knows the meaning of the word tenacity. Gia, on the other hand, folded faster than a ream of paper in a Chinese origami contest. As the returning veteran, I was really hoping she’d stick around longer. In her defense though, feeling betrayed by a long time friend can shake even the most determined mind.

Betrayal (fortunately if you like drama, and unfortunately if you don’t like tears) is the theme in the Bachelor Pad mansion. It’s intrinsic to the game. Graham betrayed Gia’s confidence by telling Kasey, Kasey betrayed Graham’s confidence by talking to Gia, Melissa betrayed her allegiance to Kasey by not giving him the rose, Kasey betrayed his promise to Jackie and Ames by not guarding and protecting her (I guess his powers of protection directly correlate to the number of heart tattoos he has). Are we seeing a pattern here? This game is brutal–and it’s only going to heat up more and more as the eliminations progress. One shining beacon of truth and light, however, emanated from none other than Ames Brown. His decision to forego a chance at $250,000 and pursue a chance at love instead was the stuff of Lifetime movies. That guy never ceases to warm my heart and put a smile on my face. I wish them the best and hope things work out. Until next time, friends.

I didn't like edited Blake on Ashley's season or now on BP2 but I'm really glad that the first thing he mentioned in his blog was to keep Michelle in our hearts and prayers.
