"Life isn't a fairytale, but love can be."

Alex's guilty pleasures list:

- Reading the tabloids at the checkout counter (I never actually buy them but it's just good to know Lindsay Lohan is spending 90 days behind bars)
- Ben and Jerry's ice cream (recent liking towards their mint chocolate cookie flavor)
- A select few Miley Cyrus songs (who wouldn't want to party in the USA?)
- The Bachelorette (my own life doesn't have nearly enough drama to keep me entertained)

Don't judge me. I'm not really ashamed of any of these things, so you shouldn't be embarrassed for me. I can't speak for all my five roommates, but most of us can't wait for Monday night to roll around. Though, I think two of them are in denial of their love for the show. Two full hours of drama, hot boys, and cheesy comments on love is the highlight of our week. We don't really take this show seriously. We are probably the most cynical group of girls you'll meet. So, therefore, watching this show gives us the satisfaction of making fun of others love lives, or their twisted idea of life and love.

Now, Ali the Bachelorette, I surprisingly actually like. However, she has shitty taste in men. I respected her decision on leaving Jake last season to keep her job. Smartest choice anyone has ever made on this show. Not so much the job aspect, but ditching that douche Jake. He's like a little girl, but we won't get me started on him. This is about Ali. The pretty, career-orientated, San Fransisco gal. I find it hard to believe a girl like her would have to go on a reality show to find her "soul mate." Whether she finds her true love or not, I can tell she is growing so much on this show.

Lessons learned to take away from Ali Fedotowsky:

- "At first I thought life isn't a fairytale, Ali. I kept telling myself that, but then I realized that life may not be, but love can be a fairytale and if I had that I'd have a great life." (You got it half right, girlfriend.)

- "I think it's very difficult to be on a date with two guys at once. It's so awkward." (You mean that's not normal?)

- "I think I'm worrying this week and the guys are seeing that and seeing me stress and worry. It's a big deal I feel to meet someone's parents and I just need to take it one day at a time." (Yes, one day at a time. When you only have 8 weeks to find your husband, slow is the way to go.)

- "I just thought in the long run I didn't see it working out." (Long run? Short run? Is there a difference on this show?)

- "I came here to find a husband and you are effing with that!" (that's what you get for keeping a professional wrestle nicknamed "Rated-R" past the first round)


Personally, I thought Kasey was the way to go. Who else is going to 'guard and protect' your heart or burst out into song made up on the spot? Kidding. I hope he got that stupid heart and shield tattoo removed immediately once he got home. Ridiculous. Jesse was by far my favorite, but I suppose of the ones left I would have to go with Chris. Him and his family seem pretty legit, but I still question anyone's sanity that signs themselves up for this show. I think Ali will pick Roberto. Their relationship is all physical, but that's the most important thing, right?

Gentleman, Ali....the final rose of the evening....
