“Three hours feels like punishment.” – My Daughter Diandra (MDD) Seriously? TWO THREE-HOUR episodes to close out this season of Paradise? We’re gonna have to call in reinforcements. The Evil Genius Producers (EGPs) hate us. They drag us through three hours to put the relationship of The Rehabilitated Noah and Everybody Loves Abigail on the... Continue Reading →
The History of a Theme Song
While watching the intro to Paradise the other night, my eye caught Ann Wilson’s name in the closed caption. In a blog entry from last year,[1] I incorrectly credited the great Ann Wilson from Heart as a co-writer on the Bachelor in Paradise theme song. I was shocked in a good way that the woman...

A Dull Night in Paradise
At this point in the season, the show is getting low on content. I agree with My Daughter Diandra (MDD): “We’re wringing out the washcloth, getting what we can out of it.” Coming out of that washcloth were the few drops left of Kendall and Grocery Store Joe’s (GSJ’s) relationship, which wasn’t much.

But, Nah, they brought in the nerdy but likable... Continue Reading →

That gave us the perfect opportunity to watch a... Continue Reading →
Karma’s a Beach
[cue Justin Timberlake What Goes Around Comes Around] First, some karmic cleanup from last night. Per the good Instagram women @Bachelordata, Brendan and Pieper’s IG strategy is off to a rough start. Brendan lost over 10% of his followers overnight, and Pieper lost approx. 5%. The big IG winner? Natasha, the woman scorned, whose IG... Continue Reading →
Trying to Figure It Out
Tonight’s episode as a graphic novel. The Evil Genius Producers not only sending in Kendall but already having a video package ready of her and Grocery Store Joe's (GSJ's) love connection in Paradise. Me trying to figure out Kendall saying moving to Chicago was a dealbreaker for her and then being upset her and GSJ... Continue Reading →
