So where are we now? Victoria faced an existential question about her future person. Is it trophy husband Adam, a life of multiple estate homes and country club memberships, haute couture workout clothes, and soccer momming in her Bentley SUV? Or is Sunday afternoons with Dad bod Johnny, comfortably curled up on the sofa in... Continue Reading →
Lead Us Into Temptation, Pt. 2
Yes, am aware that it’s been a minute since I last wrote about Paradise. I suppose it’s a combination of Bachelor-related overload (I am now screaming every time I hear the word “connection”); confusion (so many people, so many relationships, so many changing story arcs, two different venues); and boredom (the cast members set up...

Lead Us Into Temptation
With Ashley I. and Jarrod and their time in The Boom Boom Room finally behind us, the Evil Genius Producers (EGPs) focused our attention on two new developing storylines.

And it’s the self-mocking relationship anarchy that is the charm of this gem in The Bachelor franchise. How seriously... Continue Reading →
Paradise and Stuff (mostly stuff)
This blog comes a little late as Tuesday night I was caught up [cue Usher] in my own real reality rather than my favorite edited-for-storyline-purposes reality and was not able to watch Paradise in real-time (is time even real in Paradise?). I am caught up (that song is an epic, classic banger) now and I... Continue Reading →
Did We Need This?
Texts between MDD and I I am not one given to profanity, especially in a public forum, but wow, Tuesday’s agonizingly long episode was a total shit show. Yep, worse than a cluster**** (I already used up my profanity allotment) and way worse than a dumpster fire. The stench is so deep, I fear I... Continue Reading →
