[Shelacious]

Did you all miss me last week cause I missed the "witches tell all" gabfest so I couldn't participate in the discussion?

Get ready for my always long-winded review of the show.

At any rate, I thought the season finale was hilarious, especially the trip to Assron's house (okay, you all have to understand that I visit this television website where they spend time ripping every popular show while being addicted to it at the same time, so please excuse my coarse language). Ummm, after seeing that cheesy assed bill board I would have been like “okay, please take me BACK to the airport.”

Did Mama aaron have major daggers for both women or what? And grandma aaron was pretty frightening too. sis-in-law looked like she wasn't going to be too happy being supplanted as the YHIC (young hottie in charge) at the Burege homestead, for what that's worth. Yikes, Assron really was the better-looking brother wasn't he? And I can't leave family Buerge without spending some time talking about patriarch pappa buerge: four words--LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON! I thought that aaron was just being an idiot whenever he repeated the same thing over and over to each woman during the course of this season. Meeting big pappa, I realized he really got that honest! Big daddy's more of a bill clinton version of aaron (in his mind, I thought he would be willing to pick up his son’s sloppy seconds the way he was salivating at both women).

BTW, I also totally, thought it was in poor taste for mama burege to make that “27 and not married” comment as well—hel-lo lady we're in 2002. I hate to think what she would have said to Gwen--or hell, to me, for that matter, never having even been engaged although proposed to (or what I would have said back to her).

Ummm, you all know that I've always (well except for that one week) been a big Helene supporter (as much as one can support a group of exhibitionists that is)--I've always thought her rather irritating personality quirks were more a product of her upbringing than indicative of her interest (or lack thereof) in assron. Lots of folks on my other Web site had been rooting for Brooke based solely on her sincerity until her limo scene (also known as the "money shot") breakdown. I believe she had genuine caring for Assron (not that he deserved it) but it also showed that no matter how sincere we may really be, we are all acting a bit in the game a love ("I put my game face on", other comments.

On the change of clothes issue, some have speculated that Helene did INDEED spend the night after the one-on-one date and the producers tried to act like it was the same night. The Tiffany money clip (the guy is a banker after all, so presumably would get the significance) was a nice touch.

Okay, I was going through my own drama at the time, but I did like the proposal (although I had to put out of my mind that I'd just seen aaron ask Brooke (formerly known as the “jailbird’s daughter) if he was "making a mistake", grrrrrrr). Although many did not like the "Helene talking all through the kisses" part, I thought it was cute. I also liked that he bought (or Daddy bought makes no diff) the ring himself. Bets on how long it will last? Much as I like Helene, the challenges will be: surviving her viewing of assron’s behavior with the other women on the show and getting her to move to aaron-burg.


I guess I’ll wait to see Trista and the Bachelorette come January and save my ascorbic tongue until then!
