well, 10 of my 15 picks made it past trista, including all of my top 3. i've readjusted my best picks after watching trista and the boys mingle, but i can't reveal my picks until the end of the season - my friends and i all wrote down our top 3 and stuck them under the tv so that, when the lucky man is finally chosen, we can see which of us saw it coming.

a la survivor, i will be victorious. oh yes - glory will be mine.

the bachelorette premiers tonight! ack! i've been waiting months for this. i decided to pretend that i was the bachelorette and, after looking at the 25 bachelors on the website, i picked the 10 i would cut and the 3 i think are going to go all the way. anyone who's going to follow the show (and really, who's not?) can see what they think:

the losers
billy: "i don't know if i'm ready for marriage." ew.
bob: greasy hair, big face.
brook: likes rodeo. hair far too pretty.
chris: when asked for three adjectives about himself, he listed four. can't go with anyone who can't count to four or who comes from a place called sugarloaf, pa.
duane: looks like he got hit in the nose with an anvil.
greg t.: gives off an evil 7-11 owner vibe. also think he has a glass eye.
michael: enjoy the fact that he uses the words "relentless" and "whom", but is overall pretty boring.
peter: his three adjectives about himself were "tall, dark and handsome" (not only trite but deluded.)
wayne: although he shoots pool and is a ua pilot, i'm just not feeling it.

give them a rose
brian h.: scuba diver who performs breast implants and "would never make my wife drive a mini van."
brian s.: cute reddish blond hair.
charlie: can't in good conscience cut anyone who reminds me of aidan quinn.
eric: despite girly pink lips, is a pilot into music.
gregg h.: when asked why he'd make a good husband for trista, he responded, "i'm old." HA.
jack: hot and black (just like janelle likes them) with a great smile. "spontaneous and hardworking."
jamie: athletic trainer and pro basketball trainer. also writes poetry and likes music, art and going to new restaurants. and cute.
jeff: spontaneous pro football player.
josh: although he has a face like jim carrey would if an elephant sat on it, he is a romantic (read: buys gifts for his girlfriend)
matt: overcomes lame "i have the capacity to love with all my heart" because he is a great looking 42-year-old gym owner
rob: why should he be trista's husband? "because i am heir to a legendary mississippi shrimp company."
russell: he says he is fun and i believe him. plus nice cheekbones.

the big 3
brian c.: gorgeous blue eyes, "genuine", likes to read, seems excited about exploring life. also HOT. have been drawn to him from the beginning.
brian h.: jonathan taylor thomas look-alike who enjoys car racing and making people laugh. sold.
ryan: gorgeous dark-haired, blue-eyed 27-year-old firefighter from vail who likes to paint, moutain bike, snowboard and travel. "a bit shy." just want to squeeze him.

and a special distinction...

cut him - not from the show, but with a pair of scissors
paul: this guy is not who he says he is. he is isaac hanson. just look at the picture. shudder

hooray simpsons:

flanders: yes! god has drowned the wicked and spared the righteous!
someone else: is that homer simpson?
flanders: looks like heaven is easier to get into than arizona state.

i feel so pleased when inferior pac-10 schools are mocked.

"and marlon brando, you're naked from the waist down."

try this link for snl celebrity jeopardy episodes. the ones with adam sandler, robin williams, french stewart and marlon brando are my favorites.
