What started as an interest, quickly turned into an excitement and page after page I was torn by all the different perspectives - as a fan of Andi, a fan of Josh, a fan ot the Bachelor franchise, even a little bit a fan over the quilty pleasure called Nick. I love how she refers to the winner of the bachelorette as number 26 there at the book she never uses his name and I think that's great except I forgot who she picked so I want to know who this asshole is. Dont bother with this one. Considering that Andi is a moderately "functioning" alcoholic, I'm not sure I can believe her. Dorfman still comes across like a spoiled, sheltered, mean-girl no matter what though. Andi assuming that readers desire more from her from the opening pages is pretty narcissistic. But even if you've never watched a single rose ceremony, you'll have a guide to show exactly how you can get through a breakup, one day at a time, and ultimately, move on with your better-than-ever life.

  • Did 'Bachelor' Star Raven Get a Nose Job
    www.hollywoodlife.com Did ‘Bachelor’ Star Raven Get A Nose Job? Experts Weigh In On Plastic Surgery Rumor Image Courtesy of ABC ‘Bachelor’ runner-up Raven Gates showed up to ‘After The Final Rose’ on March 13 looking totally gorgeous… and a little bit different. Fans immediately started to speculate about whether or not she got a nose job after the show. So what do the experts think? Raven Gates, 25, has always been stunningly beautiful, but we can’t deny that her nose seemed a little bit more refined on The Bachelor: After The Final Rose special on March 13. But what do we know? A face can change with anything from a nose job to a little more makeup contouring to a different camera angle. So we asked some experts what they think is to blame for Nick Viall’s runner-up’s new look. Plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that “she definitely appears to have undergone a nose job. Her nose is thinner, straighter, and shorter than it used to be. Overall, it fits her face nicely.” Woah! If she really did have work done, we can’t help but agree. It would have to be super subtle, because it looks tasteful and beautiful. “It appears that, yes, Raven has had a rhinoplasty,” explained Dr. Norman Rowe, MD. “The tip of Raven’s nose is smaller, more narrow and more refined. Also, both the tip and area between her nostrils do not hang as low as in the before image. These changes can only be accomplished with a rhinoplasty.” Dr.

Degree awarded June 2014. ii © 2014 Chelsea Bullock iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Chelsea Bullock Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2014 Title: Everyday Intimacies: The Politics of Respectability in Post-Recessionary Southern Reality Television Rather than taking a broad genre-based approach to analyzing reality television as digital media, this dissertation understands the field of reality programming as operating within a new media model and as composed of micro-genres. My project specifically explores the “intimate” micro-genre, considering the politics of respectability and gendered labor as foundational elements in what is a particularly fertile and volatile site of meaning- making. Grounding my analysis in a comprehensive map of reality programming allows me to explore a pattern of politically rich programs set in the South. Shows such as Duck Dynasty, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and Real Housewives of Atlanta offer insight into the circulation and currency of race, class, and gender with significant theoretical implications for an economically and politically unstable national moment.

It has been confirmed that the season 10 Bachelorette has quit her post as Assistant District Attorney in Fulton County, Georgia. Dorfman hasn’t announced any plans for what comes next after The Bachelorette, but her direct attitude is helping her find love on national television, captivating the hearts of the lucky men as well as the hearts of America, according to UsMagazine.com. How do you know when to put love before your career? Cupid’s Advice: How can you choose between the person you love and what you love doing? In matters of the heart nothing is ever simple. Take a step back from the situation and weigh out your options. Love involves taking risks so take into account these three points before making your decision: 1. It all comes down to your happiness: If your partner is asking you to blatantly choose between them or your career, you need to proceed with caution. If this person isn’t who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and they’re asking you to quit what you love doing, they probably aren’t the best match for you. Ambitious women are a force to be reckoned with, so don’t let any man stand in the way of you reaching your goals. But if you have asked your partner to make significant sacrifices with their career for you, it may be your turn to return the favor.
