That's what you get for sending doggy to the oh-so-euphemistically named "pet hotel." I hope you feel guilty. Does doggy at least get dibs on the bed when you return?

Okay, I know this is so six months ago, but if anyone is interested in seeing pictures of Ryan from the Bachelorette, circa 1987, PM me. He was an exceedingly cute eighth-grader.

How do you expect Connect the Dots to feel?

Oh, I was convinced, but Doris next door at the Dew Drop Inn laughed at me when I tried to order one the other day. She said that drinking establishments in small towns in the Red States weren't allowed to serve them until 2005. Big Ed said that he tried to get an earlier date for us, but was told that the presence of Podunkville Community College didn't qualify us under the "college town" exemption.

Is it only a coincidence that Rebecca Gayheart is acting in a show about grim reapers when she herself has had experience?

The Smoking Gun doesn't have the incident in their achives, but imdb.org lists details about Ms. Gayheart's conviction for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter here.

ROSWELL, N.M. -- The sports editor of the Roswell Daily Record has been fired for fabricating part of a news story about a golf tournament in which he quoted a fictional character from the movie "Caddyshack."

Gregory M. Jones was dismissed by the Daily Record on June 17, the day after his article about a Father's Day golf tournament at the Roswell Country Club appeared on the sports page, editor Mike Bush said.

"He got a bunch of scores and wanted to make it more interesting," Bush said Thursday.
He said the newspaper insists on accuracy and objectivity and "we don't tolerate anything less than that."

Jones, 24, said he was shocked by his firing and did not intend to deceive his editors or readers.

"It was tongue-in-cheek. It was sports. I was trying to be light and breezy. I was trying to put out a story that people might like to read," he said in a telephone interview. (That quote reminds me of a story line in Friends where Monica was trying to sound "Light and Breezy" by saying so.)

Bush said the story contained three fictitious paragraphs referring to a "Carl Spangler" who claimed to work at the course. In "Caddyshack," Bill Murray played a golf course worker named Carl Spackler.

Jones quoted "Spangler" as saying he invented a new kind of grass for the tournament. The quotation in Jones' story is taken directly from "Caddyshack."

" 'This is a hybrid ... of bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, featherbed bent and northern California sensemilia (sic),' " Spangler said. " 'The amazing stuff about this, is that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on the stuff.' "

So I hadn't watched the show for a while and they are having the TWO HOUR FINALE tonight. And as I am watching this 21 year old kid, if she is chosen, crying over whether to take the money or to take the unemployed lawyer who got kicked out of the military, I find myself wanting to scream at the tv take the fucking money moron.

Edited to add daaamn, they know how to put a twist in. Fox wishes they could do a twist like that. I'm duly impressed.

SO was disappointed that he is roped in for more shows now (can't...turn...away). We both kind of felt for Rob. He actually did the noble thing. And who can blame the winner for the choice she made? Just can't believe that she went for double or nothing...

Any theories of what the producers would have done if the result was different? My bet is Kelly would have been brought back as the babe-prize before they ever put Paige up there.

Finally, a comic book for the FB!

With such potential for everyone to look horrible, Erin and Rob came across surprisingly well. He picked the right woman, she made the right choice.

I wonder if she will buckle under the pressure of making someone fall in love with her enough to walk away from one meeelyun dollars.

Wow
 

For that matter, has anyone seen these shoes that look like little Converse sneakers in the toe in pastel colors, but are perched on a stiletto heel? Just hideous. WTF?

For my fellow TdF watchers, here is the link for the OLN bingo cards with all of their famous catchphrases:

Spoiler space














I speculate that Erin wants to go into acting or modeling or be an E! or ET correspondent or something. That she wants to break into Hollywood is the only reason I can think of that she would want to go double or nothing. The fact that the $1 million is involved means that any attempt to use a search for love as the reason is total BS, so she doesn't even have a "Bachelorette" chance of finding someone. To her credit, I think she really did believe he would pick Paige and wasn't just screwing with her head. Part of me thinks that Paige's removal of the promise ring was shrewd and calculated and that her innocence is all an act. I hope that the shock of getting dumped didn't drive her back to the bottle.

Spike Lee settled. The channel is probably gonna be forced to run ads for his movies for free or something. Ho hum.

I was figuring that Spike TV said it wouldn't go after him for its costs if he settled now, before he had to post another $2M as a bond.

One more thing. As for the Bachelor, I am pretty sure that all of their "proposals" are scripted. Rob's dialogue clearly was not. I know they wanted top prolong the suspense, but good lord! Was anyone else screaming " Shut the F up already!" while he was talking?

for love or money
 

Yes. At 10pm I was wondering how they could possibly drag out the exciting climax for another hour. Well, let Rob and the girls speak was the answer.

BTW, do you think they at least scripted a requirement that he use the word "but" after five minutes of speaking for both amazing girls?

I tend to think spoiler space is unwarranted in this case, as (a) the finale won't be rerun, and (b) everybody who cares either saw it or is on vacation and hence really doesn't care, but I'll oblige.

As for Love/Money, didn't somebody post something here about how all the reality show contestants have agents/handlers now? The producers must have had this twist in mind when they conceived the show. The women were unusually attractive (as in model type), charismatic, intelligent, and interesting, any one of Stacey, Laura, Kelly, Erin, or even the crackho artist chicka who got booted the first week could have carried their own show while holding the genuine interest of (at least some of) the bachelor-hos, playing the game strategically, and having gorgeous feet and legs for the obligatory getting out of the limo shot.

Haven't the producers also admitted to "talking to" Rob about his decision? The only bad situation for them would have been if he picked Erin and she picked him over the money; then they would have had to bypass Paige for Kelly and that wouldn't have given them as perfect a setup.

All that said, why am I saying all this? And does anybody else think Erin's face is a bit plasticized?

Yes.

But, more importantly:

(1) either this guy is clearly the biggest dolt of all time as everyone under the sun knew this girl was going to take the money and leave Robbie penniless, dateless AND jobless [possible] or

(2) this was a total setup as NBC needed Erin to win so it would have an additional 6 weeks of shows for its ratings [more likely]

Trista and Ryan are being paid one meeelyun dollars to allow their wedding to be turned into a show. Of course, they don't get most of the money until the wedding takes place. And, ABC gets all control over decisions like dresses, decorations, and, presumably, cake flavor. It doesn't report whether ABC also gets to choose the guest list.

What?! The World Wildlife Fund is not real?? Does that mean that there are no endangered species?

Worse than a mother in law?
 

If only Fox were paying for the wedding . . . we could see the bachelor/bachelorette parties, hoochies, ex boyfriends showing up to declare their love, clothes tacky by Vegas standards.

for the love of god
 

But isn't it beautiful how they make it seem so real, what with Rob's heartfelt babbling and Erin's apparent pangs of conscience?

And on the topic of Trista's wedding to Ryan . . . those two lovebirds just turned their nuptials into a different version of For Love or Money, since they don't get the bucks if they don't wed and would have to give back the $100k they received upon signing the contract . Bet they'll be stuffing down any doubts.

Who wants to bet that they go through with the wedding and later sell ABC the rights to film the birth of their first child?

Worse than a mother in law?
 

This is great! It (1) guarantees her friends can't blame her for the hideous bridesmaids' dresses they'll inevitably be forced to wear and (2) beats having both sets of parents scream at them over the guest list--they can harangue the hapless production assistants instead.

Ah, romance...:bounce:

for the love of god
 

I think they'd get more viewership if they sold the rights to their nasty divorce proceedings. But then, they can get the baby money first and THEN do that. The possibilities for enriching the fine institution of marriage by selling it for cold hard cash are endless!

for the love of god
 

But if it were NBC, they would get the $1m over 40 years, contingent upon no divorce. And if it were Fox, they'd get the $1m over 40 years, and Fox would send by a string of temptresses and dismissed Bachelors to try to break up the marriage.

Trista needs better lawyers
 

From the smoking gun, a highlight of the Bachelorette contract:

"A stipulation noting the possible use of hidden cameras, though producers promised that none would be 'positioned to intentionally capture images of you urinating or defecating in the bathroom.'"

Trista's lawyer (if she had one) should have struck the last three words, no? Better yet, s/he should have added a provision that any footage of the described activity, no matter where it occurred, would be destroyed. I mean, I'm sure Trista had no intention of tinkling outside the box, but it could have happened. And wouldn't outside the bathroom footage have been much more embarrassing?
