This season of The Bachelor has been different in many cosmetic ways but still
very similar in any material sense. There have been no limos, no gowns, no fancy
parties and no rules (which seems to be a euphemism for 'there are rules but we're
just not going to tell you want they are ahead of time'). All the things that matter
are still there: Psychos; criers; booze; sluts; prudes; whiners; lip-mashing; booze;
uncomfortable silences; awkward body-language; booze; self-delusion; creative editing;
implants; cattiness; booze; and, as always, the disquietingly-unemotional non-human
presence of Robo-Chris.
When Charlie signed on to do the show he had to agree to limit his horn-dogging (for
six weeks) from all the gold-digging whores in L.A. and N.Y. willing to date a semi-celebrity
with a famous brother to the twenty-five women hand picked by Fleiss to provide an
entertaining show. Through the course of the season Chuck's whittled down his selection
to the final two ladies, the first is a compact-sized nurse and the other a leggy
piece of white trash. So finally we can all breathe a sigh of relief as we come to
the final episode and find out whom Charlie picks to spend the rest of his life with,
or the next two weeks -- whichever comes first. |

"But first, we need to waste time regurgitating a bunch of crap to remind you
what happened on previous episodes because we know nothing on this show is very memorable". |

"I'm in Montauk which has the best beaches in the world except that it's too
cold, there are no people, no surf and the sand is contaminated from the New York
sewer system". |

Look, you can see the footprints from take-one. |

"Oooo, dolphins!"
Sorry, wrong season. |

"It's wonderful here".
"It's not Aruba and it's important for me to find out if you still like me when
I'm not taking you to exotic vacation destinations".
"You're forgetting, where I come from this is an exotic vacation destination". |

"I look cute on this scooter. But you're a guy, you just look gay".
"That's why I'm riding like a maniac, Xtreme-scootering is macho!"
"Not really, it's more butch than macho." |

"It's good to be back where everybody knows my name".
"Chuck!"
"Chuck!" |

"I was hanging out with Frankensteve when the guy playing my best friend showed
up". |

"Me and Charlie work together".
"So you're a D-List celebrity too?" |

"It's great to see you this happy".
"I've been drinking since 7 am".
"That explains it!" |

"He's probably the most real celebrity I've ever met. Of course he's the only
celebrity I've ever met".
"I hate to break it to you sweetheart but he's not a real celebrity, his celebrity
status ranks somewhat below Dustin Diamond". |

"I like Krisily, she's a cool chick. That's why I gave her my number". |

"He brought you back to the place he hangs out and that means something. It
means he gets his drinks paid for by Fleiss". |

What's up with the ugly fish lamp? |

Hey! Is that Charlie's Ex sneaking around outside? |

"It's just something the producers gave me to give to you".
"It's... interesting". |

"I answer the phone for a hair salon during the day and I'm a bartender at night".
"If you tend bar you've already met three of Charlie's top five criteria". |

"When I first met Krisily I thought she was beautiful. Then she started talking
and I had to change my opinion". |

"You have a great son, it's hard not to fall in love with him when you're being
held prisoner by the producers and he's the only guy you're allowed to interact with". |

"When I see Charlie I get butterflies and this icky feeling inside". |

"If you pick me I'd be willing to move to be with you".
"That's big because I know you have your house and all".
"I know the odds of this actually working out. I'm keeping the house". |

"I heard about the crappy gift they made Krisily give you so I talked them into
letting me give you some wine". |

"I was extremely nervous, they're all so much taller than me". |

"Why Texas, why'd you move to Texas".
"Only a Northerner would ask that question!" |

"I was watching Oprah and she had Dr. Phil on and he said that Love is something
that is built in a relationship over time".
"Ah, so you're the gay friend". |

"Our relationship started out as more of a kidnapper/kidnappee kind of thing
but it's really grown into more of a cult-leader/follower relationship". |

"It was a little uncomfortable talking to Jack because he's a stereotypical
New Yorker". |

"I'm Charlie's best friend and I don't want to see him hook up with a chick
I don't like because I have nothing going for me and have to live vicariously through
him". |

"Jack's not afraid to be a jerk and say what he feels, which is why I like to
hang out with him. I look so much better when I'm being compared to him". |

"They both seemed much more mature than you do".
"Only because I was lot drunker than they were". |

"They both like him for his honesty and his personality".
"They like him because they're both looking for a fixer-upper and they think
they can change him". |

"Ever since I took some of my Mom's estrogen pills by mistake last night I can't
stop crying". |

"Usually at this point the Bachelor would have the final dates, shop for a ring
and make his final decision. But we're paying the price for our decision to go with
an immature moron as the bachelor. Charlie can't make up his mind, so we're going
to do what all his teachers did when he was taking tests in school -- give him more
time". |

"I don't think that anything that happened here isn't real. It's Reality-TV
it has to be real".
"Wow, you really don't get it do you?" |

"I'm a hundred percent ready to make a commitment and it scares me a little
that I can't make you feel the same. I mean, how's our relationship going to work
if I can't make you do what I want?" |

"I have serious feelings but I don't like serious talks, they make my brain
hurt". |

What a crappy framing job, the picture isn't even close to flat. |

Ick! Change the camera angle! Change the camera angle! |

"I wouldn't not be not stressed if I wasn't not trying to not figure out what's
not right". |

"Tell me this isn't the bed you did it with Kim in".
"Ummm..."
"At least tell me you changed the sheets!"
"Ummm..." |

"You've got one job while I'm gone, don't sleep with Sara". |

"If you want the chocolate I'll give you the chocolate. Life will be so much
better once you've picked me and I don't have to worry about Krisily any more so
I can get everything my way". |

"I was hoping this whole thing would be over and Charlie would have his mind
made up so I can get my name on his ATM card". |

"I've got a tough decision to make and if there's anything I've learned from
my Peter Pan complex it's to put off tough decisions as long as possible". |
