>The return of summer!!….at least for 24 hours….not that Showers or Thundershowers aren’t ’summerlike’ — but — we will see the Sunshine dominating today, with a very warm high of 27.
-Meteorologist Andrew Schultz.
Our show was jam packed with Stampede goodness today! 2 time World Champ bull rider JW Harris stopped by our studio before heading to compete in the rodeo this afternoon. It’s JW’s 24th birthday and his first Stampede. Good luck in the big show JW!
I made a mess out trying to make pink pancakes this morning but Andy salvaged a little one to make his “cowboy” taco: pancake, sausage, syrup, and ketchup. That man will eat anything. Including….beer flavoured ice cream!
MacKay’s Ice Cream is serving up special Stampede style delights like Beer For Your Horses, Cherry Coke, and Mini Donuts. According to our professional taste testers and band this morning (Gord Bamford – love him!) the beer ice cream tastes like Guinness. Without the buzz. So….safe to enjoy at work right?

I love the hometown visits – especially seeing Roberto in a baseball uniform. Yes please! Those two are adorable together. The one possible obstacle for Ali was Papa Martinez. The former Army ranger sure put her through the ringer! Ali held her own with the conservative family man and joined in on the salsa dance party with the Martinez clan. PS – how hot was Roberto’s mom? Can see where the cute gene comes from.
Chris L – what’s not to love about that man’s family? They are so close and have amazing values around marriage. Did we all fall in love or what? His dad shared stories about falling in love with Chris’ mom and said “love is the only reality” – *melt*! Hard to leave that scene without a warm fuzzy feeling – even though I get the instinct Ali is just not that into him and he could leave without a rose unscarred. One of our producers here says Ali should go for the “good guy” (as we all should but don’t). Maybe Chris L is a case of good guys finishing sans Bachelorette. That’s fine. I want him to be the next Bachelor anyway….although I heard a rumor that the next Bachelor is another hot Bachelorette reject with a abs of steel and a couple of dogs…I say no more 
Soooooo…Kirk. WOW. His dad’s taxidermy workshop/meat freezer in the basement will haunt me for days. The caribou foot with weird sticky eyes *really* put it over the top. Enjoy the clip ->
In the end it wasn’t daddy’s unconventional past time that broke the deal for Ali – she’s just more compatible with the other 3.
Frank, Frank, Frank. That boy is about to sabotage his own chances! He’s making drama without drama instead of letting it all fall into place naturally. Yes, it’s an odd situation – but when you sign up for a show like The Bacheloreet don’t you bargain for falling for a girl who has multiple boyfriends? Of course the circumstance can breed insecurity – that should come as no surprise. The woe is me whiny guy thing is a turn-off right? I bet Frank pulls the plug in Tahiti so he can guard and protect his own heart.
I REALLY thought he was the underdog….who could come out shining at the end… but that taxidermy room of horror …well, it killed (and stuffed) the romance for me. Am I that shallow that what someone’s dad does could affect me so much?? Apparently yes, because I could NEVER go over to his parents’ place again, and then I’d be “that girl who’s too good for our family…blah blah…” Ewwww to the taxidermy room!

Well Bachelorette fans, we’re into the final few roses and up to one of my favorite episodes: the hometown visits! Let’s assess the situation and weigh out the plus/minus situation of our last 4 guys.
1. Roberto
THE PLUS SIDE: Dimples!!! Adorable, self assured, grateful, and romantic. Has Ali giggling all over the globe. Smokin’ hot. Roberto is the guy Ali says she could easily fall in love with and end up with in the end.
THE DRAWBACK: Maybe too hot for Ali? She feels inferior so dating up is a risk. He holds the cards and maybe isn’t maybe an equal match (in her eyes) – danger!
2. Chris L
THE PLUS SIDE: SO sincere and loves his family. He’s making an effor to break down his walls and taking his time opening up to Ali. Like Chris L. Lots.
THE DRAWBACK: We’re on a time crunch Chris! You only have a shooting period of approx 6 weeks to get to know each other, fall in love, and get down on one knee!
3. Kirk
THE PLUS SIDE: Kirk’s been through a health crisis and came back with a brighter outlook on life. He knows himself and is ready to commit.
THE DRAWBACK: Did you *see* his Dad’s taxidermy room?! Mmmmm dealbreaker.
4. Frank
THE PLUS SIDE: Sparks! Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry. Frank and Ali have real and open conversations with each other.
THE DRAWBACK: He either has a girlfriend (unless that was his sister who opened the door) or commitment problems. And he lives with his parents.
ON THE FLIP SIDE
How gross was it to watch Jake and Vienna rehash their split on tonight’s episode? The two probably felt they could set the record straight but ended up both looking seriously immature. Their back and forth mud slinging was embarrassing and so awkward to watch! Vienna seems to spin a web of lies and Jake is smug and condescending. They would have been better to take the high road and leave what was/wasn’t between them in the past.
