Finale Fever!!

Bachelor Pad 3

There are few times I have been left speechless in life. Last night was one of them. Since Bachelor Pad aired 3 years ago, I wondered when would someone turn on his/her partner and take the 250,000?? Throughout the entire season, I too questioned what Nick was actually doing there. He never seemed to talk and was about as existent as he was during Ashley's season. Everyone in the house seemed to have something to say about him and how he didn't "deserve" the money. Honestly??? Thank you Kalon for pointing out the obvious. No one in that house deserved anything. They went on a group dating show and then played games that involved little to no skill in order to win half a million dollars. The biggest game of all in the house is that of strategy, and in my opinion Nick, Erica, and Chris made the most skilled moves. Had Chris not pulled Erica into the voting room.....Stagliano would have stayed and continued to play mind games with Rachel, Erica would have voted Chris off the show, and Nick never would have become partners with Rachel. Rachel is all peeved that Nick lied to her, but that was part of his game play. He had to convince her to select share so that he could "keep" the money. He doesn't need to apologize; he won the GAME. Personally, I don't think he did anything wrong. Why aren't people more disgusted with Stagliano? What a douche. He says he came on for love and then showed America why women don't trust men. He did what every woman fears used her until he was ready to move onto someone new. What would have happened had he not been voted off? Would he have played her all the way to the finale in order to get her to share the money? My guess is that he absolutely would have. Had I been in the house he would have been my first vote. He already won; why did they keep him there? Also, how did we not get into Ed for playing Jaclyn? There status was never discussed. What woman in her right mind would want either or those two arrogant, selfish, dbags??? Then again, women love to love "bad" guys and think they can change them.

This goes in my top 3 moments for Bachelor/Bachelor Pad. However, I think number one still belongs to Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft. That was the most dramatic rose ceremony ever. 2nd place- Nick playing the game better than everyone and WINNING the 250,000. 3rd place- Chris taking Erica Rose into the voting room. Epic moves.

Hell's Kitchen/Masterchef

I invested into both of these shows so I felt obligated to watch the finales. However, in both cases it was pretty obvious who was going to win. It was Christina's job to lose the entire season. She should have won and did. Had a woman not won after they dominated the men, I would have been shocked. She earned the job and didn't really partake in all the drama in the house/kitchen. Justin put up a valiant effort but I think she really would have had to screw up in order to lose.

Then there's Christine. I am impressed that a blind woman can cook better than I will ever be able to. That being said, it was obvious they wanted her to win. She clearly was very skilled which is why she made it to the end. I just don't think Josh had a chance. Again they were going to choose her unless she really made a huge mistake. I would have been happy either way; I just wish it wouldn't have been so predictable. Was anyone actually surprised that either of these women won?

I did miss the Voice last night but I'm sure Christina had on some ill-fitting ensemble where her breasts were pouring out for the world to see. If not......that would shock me. Finally, September is here and actual shows are back. I am looking forward to Glee, Scandal (if it's coming back), Castle, Last Man Standing (if it's coming back), Grey's (even though they killed off my favorite character), and probably Go On simply because of Matthew Perry. Any other shows I should watch??
