Behind the Wino aka "On the Wings of Wine"

Welcome to the second best episode in the Bachelor world...Behind the Rose with all the rejected women! Woo!

We're getting close to the end here, so we're moving up in the wine sphere and going upscale!

We start off with some Chardonnay:



Trader Joe's Reserve Chardonnay
Price: $9.99
Location: Trader Joe's on Folsom Blvd with the worst parking lot in the history of the world.

They describe it as: "Shades of sweet pear, citrus and passion fruit with toasted almond and honey on the finish."

Our take? Lemony butter and smells like guava. "Would go well with shark head nachos." (If you get that reference, you're made of win). Neither one of us are usually fans of Chard (too much butter, even for butter lovahs), but this was good!

Our food choice with this particular vino? BALLS! Rice, cheese balls to be exact:



These were worth almost getting hit in the parking lot. WAY good.

Now, on to the important stuff....the bachelorettes. Or ex-bachelorettes. Or bitter bachelorettes. Pick your choice.

We can't go on without talking about the ridiculousness that is Michelle. "30" year old Michelle. "I'm not fake, but possibly an actress" Michelle.



This was Sarah's reaction to her 10 minute crocodile tears schpeel:



Lies, lies, lies and more lies? We thought Chris was being awfully nice to her....a little TOO nice. Something's going on there!
Maybe she was just auditioning for Bachelor Pad 2? In which case, we're in. Maybe she'll get another black eye. That would be awful.

We both think Ashley looked pretty good with her new dark look. And FINALLY admitted that it was her fault for screwing things up with Brad! THANK YOU.



That's really an unfortunate picture of her, come to think of it.

Now it's on to wine #2!



Robert Hall Orange Moscato 2009
Price: $12.99
Location: Raleys. "Or Bel Air? Aren't they the same thing?"

DELICIOUS!!! Orange sugar water. Yum yum yummy.
It went surprisingly well with our pizza choice, which was:



I think the direct quote on this was "This pizza is f*cking awesome." We think they should put that on the box.

It was about this time that we copyrighted our official Bachelor drinking game!®

What's that? "How do you play??" you ask?

Well, grab yourself a bottle of wine and a few red roses and take a drink every time:

1) A bachelorette says "I'm here for the right reasons."
2) A bachelorette says "I'm really falling/have feelings for Brad."
3) A helicopter shows up on a fantasy date
4) Brad says "Come here to me."

You'll be done with your first bottle by 8:45. (We were.)

The show ended with an ADORABLE clip of Chris and Brad dancing with South African school children. Oh. Em. Gee. Cuteness overload. They also played a bloopers reel in which....Brad actually had a personality? And was funny? Even charming? Where has this been the whole show?! Bizarre.

Well, next week is our finale! If Emily doesn't win, you can find us crying in my half basement apartment. Come by and say hi.

P.S. We also need a new show to recap after next week! Is Dancing with the Stars any good?
