Stanko's Stance

Here are my thoughts on the first episodes of ABC’s Listen To Your Heart. It is good to have the Bachelor universe back. I missed yelling at my screen like this!

• Chris Harrison, it’s good to see you. Always aging like fine wine.
• For the record, I am not a big music guy. I don’t like live performances. I don’t like cringe. So this should be SO MUCH FUN.
• How many Jed jokes are there going to be?
• If someone breaks down and cries on stage during a performance I may melt into my pillows and never come out
• Brandon
  • 34 years old, reasonable age to be looking for love in big ways
  • Straight shooter with the cursing
  • He has more product in his hair than I own
• Bri
  • She has really pretty hair
  • Was engaged…he got scared and she gave the ring back? He didn’t ask for it?
• Sheridan
  • Has named his car…
    • Got that montage on the car was cringe
• Bekah
  • First, weird way to spell name
  • Second, she is stereotypical high school drama student
• Gabe
  • Girls are going to LOVE him.
  • He is religious. Nope, not gonna be able to mesh with me
• Savannah
  • She has the crazy sex appeal
  • Her past relationships were rocky…probably because she is crazy
• Trevor
  • SHIRTLESS?! WHY?!
  • Okay has a dog too. Is this a trap for all females?
  • Was on American Idol; having Katy Perry call you hot is probably a big ego boost
• Jamie
  • YOU ARE 21 YEARS OLD?! 21 YEARS OLD?!
    • I REPEAT…21 YEARS OLD!?!?!?!
  • She is such an extrovert
• Ryan
  • I have zero opinion at all
• Matt
  • His beard is solid! Respect it.
  • Has never seen the bachelor
  • From Milford, CT: Connecticut represent!

• Alright, they are coming too fast now, time to just focus up
• Jamie, you are 21 years old. You feel butterflies at the sign of alcohol because you are legal now to drink
• Rudi: another one saying she has dated basically of all LA
  • But, I do love how she is spunky and just doesn’t give a fuck. Also genuine reaction to Chris Harrison
• Jamie is flip-flopping between everyone
• What is the idea of connecting with music? I just don’t understand
• Wow, what a segway with Jamie’s douchebag then DIRECT CUT to Michael
  • I fast-forwarded through everything with him. Literally everything in his first introduction with Savannah. Nope, just terrible.
• There are a ton different type of personalities
  • Actually much more than a typical Bachelor or Bachelorette season in terms of places of origin, ect.
• 8 to 12 ratio for women to men…that seems a little bit unfair
• The bald guy has not spoken yet on camera but his is there stalking the prey. He seems like a massive wild card.
• Julia seems like a really good person…
  • Music therapy; is there such thing as movie therapy? If so, hit me up.
• When people say the “night is young” I want to know what time it is on the clock?
• “Am I being too attractive?”
  • Nope…just nope.
• Michael is the worst. I do not like him. At all. Just get rid of him. AT ALL COSTS
• Whoever it is that Jamie kissed (forgetting names) is a loud kisser
• Jamie and Trevor now in the hot top
  • They are the top-ranked HOLY CRAP super sexy couple
• NATURALLY Ryan gets the card and picks Jamie; whelp for Trevor
• Gravity is a legit good song so at least thing cringe of listening to live singing will be at ease (only a little bit)
• Pasta and a scary movie is an AWESOME DATE. Like yup yup Rudi
  • OH BUT MATT CHOSE MEL. RUT ROH SPAGHETTIO
• Alright, I know music is subjective…but I don’t think that Jamie has that good of a voice? Am I crazy?
  • Ryan though has a very good voice. Legit.
• “I kind of feel the gravity in the room tonight…Trevor how you feeling?”
  • I mean that was set up on a tee and Chris Harrison bashed it over the mansion wall
• No shit there was no spark between Matt and Mel…THEY DIDN’T EVEN SHOW ANYTHING FROM THEIR DATE. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
• Rudi gave Matt the grundel. Big time.
• Rudi and Michael is the worst possible connection of all-time
• I hate Michael. So much. Like the worst.
• The amount of serenades makes me want to vomit. This is like solo concerts from the normal Bachelor and Bachelorette show
• Savannah, I usually love the color green, but I don’t love that dress.
• The behind the scenes in the room of survivors with the backstage commentary is a new touch and I love
• Matt is FLIP FLOPPING more than a lost sandal in the ocean
• Jamie going near to last is a wonderful but of producer interference, let the drama build
  • Trevor gets the win, and ABC gets to keep the most attractive guy on the show
• Rudi picks Ryan! Ryan survives even with no Jamie!
  • Rudi can not feel himself falling for Ryan, I think that ABC can find their way into a lot of drama this way
• I am so glad that Michael is gone. So happy. Get OUT!
