Last week, the Bachelorette with Ali (from last season of the Bachelor) kicked off this season. Ali had the nervous case of giggles for the first episode as loads of guys were dropped off at the house one limousine at a time. Out of 25, she had to select 17 hopefuls. It's hard to weed out all the bad seeds in one go. Not to mention, the producers probably hint at Ali to keep some of the peculiar guys around for some drama. It's interesting as I usually find that if some the guys that don't make it past the first night, you don't really see any of their confessional moments except for when they're leaving.
It's a bit hard to comment on all these guys right off the bat too. They may seem a bit nutty and end up normal, and sometimes the crazy ones need more time to brew before they show what a nut job they really are.
Ali's first solo date was with Frank -- a screenwriter hopeful, who runs a retail shop. I suspect he'll stick around for a while as the first date went really well for both. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. They gave Ali this old stylish jalopy to drive around in for the day. Except that, within the first 1/2hr to an hour of heading to their destination, the car broke down on the side of the highway. I'm tempted to think that the producers gave her a problem car on purpose -- just to see how they would both handle it. It turned out, they handled it pretty well and the date continued and blossomed on from there. Although Ali was quite excited and pleased with the first date with Frank, Frank was more than elated and I suspect something interesting may happen. Whether that "interesting" thing is that something develops between the two or he gets super jealous and says/does something stupid remains to be seen. But I sense an interesting factor just the same.
As far as the group date went, Oi! The group of guys were taken to a beach house in Malibu, then were instructed and assigned various bathing garments. Some of those garments definitely surpassed the "interesting" label. Some of them were itty bitty pieces and some looked like bad Speedos from the 70's and 80's. Mind you, if you've been to Cuba, they'd have fit right in with all the German men -- young and old.
The highlights of the episode generally included some male drama between the weatherman, Jonathan, and an angry douche bag named Craig. Although Craig didn't only frustrate Jonathan, the weatherman was the only one who actually told him straight up (on camera anyway) that he couldn't stand to be around him. It's too bad that the douche bag had a nice head of hair though. However, he was one angry dude. I suspect that he was over compensating for his inability to have any sense of a real conversation with Ali. He couldn't look her in the eye when he spoke to her, he was all guarded, and he couldn't even bring himself to ask about what she likes or anything. At least his angry douche bag self wasn't going to stick around for more than two episodes -- he was sent packing at the end of the rose ceremony.
