‘Twould be an understatement to say that it’s a weak crop of contenders vying to ”live every woman’s ultimate fairytale fantasy of leaving her dignity dead in a dumpster to marry a real-life Italian prince” (or something like that) on this season of The Bachelor: Rome. Consider some of the nine women who scored a rose off randy Lorenzo last night.
There’s, like, the frontrunner, Lisa, whose, like totally super-perky tree-hugger exterior, like, hides the heart of a viciously competitive she-beast. ”I’m only 25, but I have my whole life mapped out and my perfect scenario would be to be engaged in a year, married in two, and kids in five,” she said, her eyes burning with husband-hunting fervor. Abso-frakkin-lutely terrifying, people.
Then there’s Agnese, whose grasp of the English language is, shall we say, limited at best. Hmm, if it’s not conversation, I wonder why Lorenzo’s keeping her in the mix?
We also have Gina, who suffers from that disease your mother always warned you about. You know, ”Don’t make that horrible scowl! Your face could freeze like that!” syndrome.
Don’t forget Desiree, the chick who broke into the Bachelor’s room to get a whiff of his bedsheets (would I make that up?), but not before promising to be the kind of wife who’d visit Lorenzo’s office on a regular basis to score a little afternoon delight. Classy!
Last, but not least, there’s tore-down, tiara-totin’ debutante Erica (pictured), who’s still trying to hire one of her fellow bachelorettes to clean her quarters, and can’t understand why Lorenzo won’t join her in trash-talking women who don’t have a college degree. ”He makes me feel like a bad person because he grew up obviously, like, having an even more privileged life than I did, and he doesn’t judge people, and I do, and I don’t know why,” she sobbed, fearing rose-ceremony elimination. Lucky for her, Kim got plastered on the group date, passed out in a lounge chair, and mistook the Bachelor for a waiter when she finally returned to consciousness, clearing the way for one more week of Erica.
Nice fairytale, isn’t it?

Ummm yeah, she bugs!! When she said “I flew coach for you, I’ve never done that” I thought for sure he’d get rid of her. Wouldn’t you??
Its become glaringly obvious that ABC has a lot of say in who stays. The question is, do they only get to pick one crazy person to keep advancing (aka Erica and every other blatantly crazy person from seasons past) or do they keep more? Their formula definitely always includes a crazy person that the bachelor has to put up with. Which is why Lorenzo so wisely asked her about the other girls last night. He knows if he has to keep her even though he has no interest, he might as well use her as a spy.
they should just call this show the Producers because that is who obviously handing out the roses
Good one Amy…NOT
I couldn’t agree more amy…other than the few bright spots or shall i say few bright girls…ie…. jen and sadie….this season blows
Poor little Princess Erica…what a worthless, useless human being she is.
actually i prefer that the crazies stay as long as possible because otherwise this show is incredibly boring. having said that, i would swear on my grandmother’s grave that erica is a plant by the producers, or at least an actress of some sort having her own fun—she cannot be real!!! i thought i saw her trying not to crack up during one of her tirades….if she is for real, off with her head!
OMG Micheal are you saying The Bachelor is on?? Whoa!!! There are so many great shows on this season I forgot to look for the Bachelor..:-)
God this show is so painfully obvious (like the faux italian prince would really keep that crazy, tiara biatch around) and yet i can’t get enough of it! michael, you took the words right out of my mouth, lisa is terrifying….
The show is rigged, Michael. No doubt about it. The season is also the most unbearably ridiculous one ever. Every girl on there is an embarrassment to herself and females everywhere, with the POSSIBLE exception of Sadie. But even she isn’t enough to keep me watching this show. When “Prince” Lorenzo gave Erica that freakin’ rose, I vowed never to watch this show again.
These girls are acting like idiots for that dude Lorenzo. You could land a plane on that guy’s nose. Pass
The Bachelor just needs to go back to the basics…. its no wonder none of the bachelor couples stay together!!
Erica is a pathetic shell of a woman.
yeah but does this say anything, as per project runway, – in fine print- that the producers do influence the ‘voting’ – or faux prince- Nose’s choice?
I wonder….
Erica is great, next week, breakdown!
She is so trashy. I guess Texas socialites are different from what we think of ’socialite’ in ny?
There are a bunch of nut jobs in there. Erika and Lisa are scary to say the least!! I can’t believe he didn’t get rid of Erika and I can’t believe that girl thought there was nothing wrong with passing out during the date. Didn’t she fall asleep during the cocktail rose party too? I actually like the Italian girl. I feel bad for her. He is an Italian prince for goodness sake, he should know how to speak Italian!! The show should have some translators on hand to help her out a bit. I like the Sadie girl too.
In Erica’s case I think “socialite” means unemployed rich girl living at home with mommy and daddy…
Yeah, Erica is obviously either a plant by the producers or the producers are having a say in who stays. Even Lorenzo did not look pleased to say her name. However, isn’t the whole show just one big manipulative game by the producers anyway?
I honestly had no idea this show was still on the air.
I am thoroughly convinced Erika is an actress planted by the producers. I really doubt an actual “debutante” would look that scraggly and talk like they just plucked her out of a Wal Mart.
no offense to Wall Mart employees, who I am sure have 100% more class than Miss Erika.
“Kim got plastered on the group date, passed out in a lounge chair, and mistook the Bachelor for a waiter when she finally returned to consciousness…” That’s hilarious. I don’t watch this show, but stuff like that may make me tune in.
Tiara-wearing Texas socialite stayed, despite her being so pathetic, simply because ABC producers wanted her in….. from the entertainment point of view, she is priceless! I don’t remember when was the last time I laughed so much…. She is incredibly shallow…. poor thing.
Yes, every Itallian prince wants to date a Marcia Brady look a like. *Puke*
please do not judge texas because of erica. we would kick her out of the state if we could.
and the only reason she got a rose has to be because the producers wanted her there. she’s crazy, elitist, emotional, and a brat – reality tv gold.
Erica is Texas’ worst nightmare! Her father is a plastic surgeon…Daddy, do the world a favor and sew your daughter’s effin mouth up!
erica is definitely not an actress. she definitely acts just like that in person and, having gone to school with her and countless just like her at emory, she represents the type of future parents that make me shudder in fear. i hope she (and the like) adopts.

“erica is definitely not an actress. she definitely acts just like that in person and, having gone to school with her”
I stand corrected from a prior post (ditz princess).. if you knew her all this time and this is the real girl, then … ew!!! I believed she must have been a plant for ratings. I did happen to notice L’s face as he said her name for the 6th rose; he didn’t look too enthused.. so that’s why I thought it was staged and was acting.
Erica is a very shallow person and crazy.
Erica is for real. Her father is Franklin Rose a very very good doctor here is Houston. Her mother is an Artist. They have a beautiful home and their family donates a lot to charity. Her father does a lot of surgery on the less fortunate. Erica seems young, no where near ready for a marriage. I think she was trying too hard. The tiara was a shock when I saw it. Her mom is snobby – what a shame.
Perhaps, this is where it is learned, as the father is magnificently kind.
Can Erica spell “turnip truck”?
