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?

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

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

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!

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.
