When I was a kid, I used to think those lyrics, "we all live in yellow submarine," were actually, "we all live in a yellow wax bean." I was an odd child. And Dad listened to crap music on road trips.

The Bachelorette 5: Who Will Receive the Final Rose?
by Janie Holtz -- 07/15/2009

Jillian has narrowed thirty men down to two on The Bachelorette and the time has come for her to make a decision. Will it be the steady front-runner, Kiptyn, or the prodigal son, Ed? Our finale may still be two weeks away, but there’s only one last prediction to make and only more opportunity for Janie to get it right. Or did she already?

RNO Bachelorette Final Predictions

The Bachelorette vs. Big Brother

Can we all please take a moment to mourn the departure of Reid on The Bachelorette this evening... Allrighty then, that's enough mourning. I'm feeling a bit jaded at the moment so I don't really give a damn. But I will when I have to force myself to write my weekly predictions for RNO. I'm sooooo ready for the season to end...

This is the season that never ends,

It just goes on and on, my friends,

Some people started watching it not knowing what it was,

And they just kept on watching it because -

This is the season that never ends

and repeat infinite ad nauseam...

Regardless, my final rose predictions will be up Thursday morning @ RealityNewsOnline. Until then, I'm off to bed - Big Brother After Dark is on! It's awfully nice of that Jeff to keep me company while I drift off to sleep, don't you think? You gotta love new houseguests.

And you did check out my first BB11 Sunday recap this morning, right?

Big Brother is on tonight!
