[Shelacious]

Okay, I just have to say...if the producers continue to tell Aaron to milk his little rose ceremony I'm going to pull my hair out! As unrealistic and theatrical as this show is, that's just too much!

I know that I was off the Helene band wagon last week, but I'm a back on it this one. In watching Helene in the limo and at home, I saw a startling resemblance to my own personality, LOL . I can better understand how her personality works. She seems like she's really aloof, but she's really just being defensive. Usually when people are suspicious it's because they give everything they've got into a relationship, and if they've gotten burned a few, defensive becomes the name of the game.

I still like Gwen though, and wouldn't be disappointed if she got the win--forehead's still big. Her family seemed nice, although I wonder why we didn't see a meal at their house? Every other woman invited Aaron to the "crib." What's up with her family's house? It seems weird that it just got glossed over entirely.

Brooke: just the sweetest lil' thang. Big ol' JR and the 'Bama room and all (my daddy's from B-ham, so I feel I still got some southern connections though I'm here clear in Cali). Family's sweet, everybody's just a dear. Nothing wrong with her, but I just think she's a bit too wide-eyed and innocent for this guy...I mean, who's MOTHER recommends you come on a dating reality show anyway?

Angela: No surprise here (as I predicted in last week's post, LOL) yeah, that family was a bit weird huh? I didn't think the roommate was all that odd, she's just dancing to a different drummer. I couldn't get a read on Angela's personality until her limo ride after the rose ceremony--I could feel her "stylo". She's one of those cautious women who is very closed affection-wise (and she got it honest, as my grandmother would say, based on the family unit dynamics)
