Shopping spree's a really good idea. Let's focus on you.
Brad tells us that he's going to take a week in Vegas to figure out how he really feels about these girls. Um...Vegas isn't really the "figuring out" kind of place. Just saying.

Ma'am You Have a Coaster on Your Finger.

Easy there Lars Von Trier

Anyone else notice the sudden shift to an occasional handheld camera for the "We're going to Vegas" bit?  I don't think I've ever seen that before on the Bachelor and frankly I don't like it. Let's keep it simple guys. Glitz, tricky editting, syrupy music interludes and lots of hyperbole. Thank you.

Pre Week 5 Power Rankings

I'm going to break down, as best I can, where things stand heading into week 5. Of course, I'm at the whim of the editing decisions of the people pulling the switches at the bachelor, but amateurs make excuses, professionals make decisions.

Number 1

You know it. I know it. L'il Rikki knows it. She's in the driver's seat. Damn. I shouldn't have used that metaphor. She's runnin' at the head of the pack. Oops. My bad. She's cruisin' on all cylinders. Yikes. Sorry. She's winning.

Number 2

Michelle. Just because you steal all the camera time doesn't mean you're in the lead. But you're for real and there's no sense denying it. Odds that they'll be a surprise visit from Brielle? 100%. Get your barf bag at the ready. Because Chris Harrison's coming and Brielle's coming with him.

Number 3

Chantal. So what if Brad mispronounces your name. You go on not correcting him like a good girl. Maybe when you're married you can let him know it's Chan-TAL not Chan-TEL. That's how you play the game and you know it you little freak. She's getting more and more nuts each week, but Brad ain't buggin'.  Pack your pink bags. You're going on a hometown date.
