The List Continues....

To pick up where LATBachelorFan left off, I have a few superlatives to add to the list:

Most Over-Used Phrase on The Bachelorette: Not Here for the Right Reasons (see also: Here for the Right Reasons). Since ABC has apparently taken away Chris Harrison's right to use his ace in the hole: "Coming up, the most intense rose ceremony ever," this Bachelor catch phrase takes the cake. The beauty of this sentence is that it implies that you care for the rose-giver, without actually meaning anything at all. Never has this statement been more meaningless than on this season, when Jilli's interpretation of being here for the right reasons means that you've been hurt before and are here to find a rebound girl - unless, of course, you are hot like Kiptyn or have a music career to launch like Westicles.

Most Likely to End Up in the Real World House: David. Ok, so he's way past the right age to be on MTV, but with his boozing, fighting, and general warped world view, David is the perfect candidate to be one of the seven strangers. If, by completely lacking a personality, Juan was able to work him into an alcoholic rage, think what the fire starters they generally put in the Real World House could do. The one thing standing in his way of moving into Dupont Circle is his vocabulary. I mean, even MTV has decency standards. Maybe Dave needs to go wash his mouth out with tequila. Again.

Most Incestuous Bachelor Family: Brad--Deanna--Jason--Jillian. I will be the first to admit that I was excited when they announced that Jillian would be the newest Bachelorette. But, the past few seasons of the Bachelor/Bachelorette are starting to feel like a bad dream -- where characters from different facets of your life mix together until you wake up in a panic that your cougar aunt might actually be hooking up with your boss. This feeling of character de ja vu was only compounded with Melissa's never-ending cameo on Dancing with the Stars. ABC, take note, I will continue to watch Jillian, because I care about true love and happiness, but after this, it's time for some fresh meat, please.

Best Ever Party Trick: Robby. I don't know how he made it happen, but when Robby caught a cherry on a toothpick, I fell in love, just a little bit.
