There have been many reality shows that I have got sucked into with only to find a disappointing ending and wishing I could get that time of my life back. HOWEVER, this season was the best. Not only did my pick for Dancing with the Stars win, Drew and Cheryl-they had the hottest routines and he is so cute and nice, but also the Bachelor actually picked the sweet pretty girl, Sarah, that I picked from day one! He totally saw through the others craziness but was also nice to them in doing so. There were moments of doubt in each show when I thought it could go the other way but good sense prevailed.

"Date Movie"
So I know it looks terrible but you have to have seen all the "date movies" they were making fun of to really get the humor and granted there were some lame parts as with any of the movies by the makers of the "scary movies" but still. If you are hoping for a good plot, you won't get one-if you see it, just go in knowing its just for fun. We thought there were some funny parts. At one time she asks him about his favorite love song and then he starts singing "Candy Shop" as a ballad. I have to admit Christa and I laughed out loud at that one.
Here are a couple funny scenes.

How is making fun of J. Lo in "The Wedding Planner" not funny?


Note: even when they are making fun of it every guy should dress like Brad Pitt.


They even pulled out the old classic "Say Anything". People starting throwing things at him and telling him to go home and use email instead.

In light that my day at work has been annoying, I have been bored out of my mind, and was basically online most of the day I thought I'd put up some of my favorite Sex in the City quotes I found:


Carrie: I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet.

Carrie: Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn't one occasion where people celebrate you ... Hallmark doesn't make a "congratulations, you didn't marry the wrong guy" card. And where's the flatware for going on vacation alone?

Carrie: He has a girlfriend.
Charlotte: He should've mentioned her earlier.
Samantha: But not too early. I hate it when men do that. "I have a girlfriend." Calm down, I just asked if that seat was taken!

I typically don't like Dr. Phil's show but last night there was a primetime special and it was like a mini version of The Bachlorette for Paula Abdul! We were mesmerized-I couldn't turn away. He set her up with an average guy and a big country star and she picked the average guy. The date was at the same time so she kept running back and forth between dinner and bowling. I have to say I think this is the best tv show Dr. Phil has ever done.
Please tell me someone else caught this.
