BT Calgary Blogs

We’re down to the final few couples on The Bachelor Pad and the competition is really heating up!  If you can’t get enough of Kiptyn, David, Jesse B and Kovacs – guess what…the boys are coming to Calgary!  That’s a lot of 6-packs.  A 24 pack of Bachelors.  I wonder if how many of them will be single by October….

But seriously – you could win a date with one of them at the Calgary Woman’s Show!  It’s for a good cause…so their girlfriends won’t mind!  Check out the Calgary Woman’s Show website for details – click the link to find out more!

We’re also recruiting local Bachelors to be auctioned off for charity so hop online and nominate your fabulous single boyfriends! Looking forward to a hot fall.

Jill is off in Toronto hosting CityLine for a few days, so we had to let Andrew & Tara review the Bachelor Pad this week. Watch this clip to get all the details.

Thanks to Karen and Teddi at Wild Grainz (1218 9th Ave SE) for sharing these delicious recipes!  Karen drizzled Chai Tea frosting over hers – just a basic icing sugar mixed with chai tea instead of water.  Yum!  Enjoy!  You’ll have to go down to Wild Grainz to buy the sticky buns – they can’t spill all their secrets

I can’t tell you how many times I get stopped on the street/grocery shopping/running/yoga class/movie premiers etc etc etc to chat about *anything* Bachelor related.   This morning we were on location with an awesome group of ladies (check out their organization Made by Momma) …inevitably we ended up chatting about The Bachelor Pad.  I invited Rayanne (Team Peyton ) to sit in on our review this morning –> check out the clip!

PS – SAD that Gia is gone but happy Elizabeth is still on!  I can’t help but like watching her.  She’s a lovable nut bar.

Yet another hot episode of The Bachelor Pad last night — check out my review from this morning!  Gia and Wes – whaaaat?  She needs to get on the Jesse Beck train!  (and maybe off her “boyfriend at home” train first….)

PS – did a little research and it seems the guy Gia was dating at the time of the show is Chri Campoli.  A playa meets a playa   Think Gia has a good shot at winning the game?

Episode #1 of The Bachelor Pad was full of drama, tears and hook-ups.  As far as guilty pleasures go, this may be better than the actual Bachelor/Bachelorette series.  Who’s with me?

As for quick first impressions of The BP - wow I feel sorry for Jesse K (who is being hunted by Elizabeth), crazy David from Jillian’s season is totally redeeming himself, and more Kiptyn please!  As for the ladies, love my Canadian girl Jessie, Tenley is adorable and I can’t get enough of Elizabeth. Is that girl for real?  She is a master player.

Took Andy and Tara through a tour of The Bachelor Pad this morning – enjoy the clip!

A satisfying conclusion to this season’s Bachelorette – SO happy Ali picked Roberto!  Wasn’t it obvious those two sparkled from the beginning?

Speaking of sparkle – check out the ring.  People Magazine posted this pic of the 3.03 karat diamond with a price tag of $50,000.  Rock it Ali!

Meanwhile we all love Chris and he was sent home with visions of rainbows and smiles in our hearts.  The boy had the most graceful exit in Bachelor history – here’s hoping we see more of him next season!  Heard a rumor it might be Jesse Beck though…the boy has a big part in the upcoming Bachelor Pad premiering on August 9th.

Here’s a full recap of the finale including footage from the big Bachelorette party at Milestones!  The action continues with Bachelor Pad next week so check out my reviews the morning after on BT every Tuesday.  And PS – I don’t *actually* blog in my bath robe despite what you might see on tv

In case you missed our Men Tell All review from this morning – here it is!  Check out Kasey’s last song.  Bless his heart.

AND – Ross Hull is a such a good sport enjoy the review rose lovers.  Can’t wait until the finale next week!

So BT is a 3 hour live show and sometimes we get a last minute script and end up reading it on camera for the first time live.  Soooo….Andy and I lost it on set this morning when we accidentally promoted the movie “The Kids Are All Right” as a good flick for the family.  Yep.  Didn’t get to read the plot breakdown until we were in the middle of it….watch this clip from this morning and see if you can hear our cameraman Nick laughing so hard he was wheezing in the background.  We all cracked up and couldn’t stop –>

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?
