The Bach rap

 Nothing like a rapping epidemiologist to brighten your day.
“Love is like disease, always spreading,
You can get it from a friend, you can get it at a wedding.
It sometimes happens when you least expect it,
And before you know it, you’re one of the infected.
So now you got that fever toss and turning through the night,
And you need to make a call, someone to make it right.
She’ll calculate your odds and help reduce your risk,
Who else but your friendly epidemiologist.
Heartbreak is a disease and nobody is immune,
But if you follow this prescription you’ll be feelin’ better soon.
Step 1: Take your vitamins, your recommended dosages,
Step 2: Keep my name in mind when handin out the roses.
If you’re tired of all the drama and you want a calmer scene,
Then maybe you and I should spend some time in quarantine.
So what else can you do to prevent this dark condition,
Just follow your heart and trust your intuition.
You used to be uncertain, but now you can be sure,
It’s time to heal your heartrate, Ben Flajnik I’m the cure.”
xo, Emily

The Bach premiere favorites

The Bach is back! And the premiere did not disappoint. There are so many amusing recaps out there that I thought for my first post-episode blog I’d write about some of my favorite moments instead:

Favorite dramatic/obnoxious/confusing/ridiculous girl of the night: hands down Jenna. That shit crazy! The professional “blogger” had at least five-too-many glasses of wine and is already having meltdowns that should only be reserved for women who just found out their husband has been cheating on them with 19 women covered in tattoos. Here’s her blog, by the way, which is how she supposedly makes a living: http://theoveranalyst.net/. And what in the world was she so upset about? A stranger (Monica) not liking her? That she isn’t in love with Ben already? I’m so confused. That brings me to my next favorite…

Favorite quotes of the night: From Jenna, on the couch with Kacie and Ben: “That makes us… if… we can be more nervous but, you could… we all could be more nervous but, the way you’re calm, like, we’re so nervous, but it calms us a little bit.” Come again? (Click here for some other doozies)
Favorite lie: Courtney telling Ben that she’s at the point in her life where she’s a model, she’s traveled the world, she’s worked really hard, she’s ready to settle down and she’s only there for him. Sure buddy! You’re not there to be on TV at all! I’m not a fan. Probably because it drives me nuts when single girls have a 2-carat minimum for their future engagement ring from a man who doesn’t exist. Because they “deserve it."
Favorite entrance: Anna walking past Ben without even a hello. I think this was so lame, but I’m choosing this as my favorite because it made me laugh so hard. She tried so desperately to look sexy and mischievous as she walks out of the limo and right past The Bach as he yells “BOLD MOVE!” No rose for you!
Favorite hair: Lindzi. This picture doesn’t really do it justice:

Favorite random fact that no one (especially Ben) cares about: Rachel’s middle name is Rose, followed closely by Monica’s “I miss my dog.”

Favorite way The Bach was portrayed as a "Renaissance Man": randomly playing David Gray's This Year's Love on the piano... He knows it by heart. No biggie.

Favorite girl at the moment: Kacie! I thought she was so cute and sweet. She didn’t get dragged in to the drama (Switzerland!) and she was so nice trying to get Jenna to smile when she was crying. I felt bad for her when she finally got time with Ben, it was overshadowed by crazy pants’ tears. But I have a feeling she’ll be around for a while. I also really like Emily, your friendly epidemiologist. I know that rap was corny, but she got so into it and seemed so confident throughout the night. She seems like a cool chick.
Favorite obvious, overused sentence: “I’ll see you inside?” NO! You will not see me inside. I’m going to wear camouflage over this suit.
Favorite post-episode announcement: Dianna is actually engaged to someone else. Her tweet: “I’m getting married Jan 27th. Before Ben… crazy how that works out.” I wonder if she fed her fiancĂ© hot tamales out of a garbage bag too?
So what am I missing? What were your favorite moments?

P.S. For those of you who are doing the bracket, the 18 girls who received roses last night were: Blakeley, Brittany, Casey S, Courtney, Elyse, Emily, Erika, Jaclyn, Jamie, Jenna, Jennifer, Kacie B, Lindzi C, Monica, Nicki, Rachel, Samantha and Shawn. We will all have 18 points to start. Be sure to fill in every other line on the entire page and send it to me before the start of episode 2!

Yes, I really do like The Bach

I watch The Bach (and I actually call it that, too). I'm not ashamed. I've watched every season since Andrew Firestone, with the exception of Prince Lorenzo (greasy hair) and Matt Grant (couldn't do the accent).

A group of us have been watching together for eight years now - taking turns hosting Bach parties on Monday nights, betting in Bachelor pools and trying to predict the winner based on the preview shot of the girl getting out of the limo's shoes/hair/dress. The die hards even attended a taping or two of After the Final Rose. It's harder now to get together each week (way to go jobs, school, babies, husbands and buying houses in other cities for interfering with our viewing schedule), but the love is still alive and I'm going to write about it.

YES I KNOW: The Bach is fake, corny, pointless, the relationships don't last, what's the point, and you can't believe such a cool, smart girl like me wastes time on this crap. I get it, and I don't care. I just love to watch. And if you do too, then follow my blog for weekly commentary and all things BACH. And I promise: no spoilers! That's what Reality Steve is for (poor guy).

Here's some stuff to help you prepare for Monday's premiere:
WTF?
