The Bachelor Pad

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

I wonder why they decided to call it The Bachelor Pad? After all, cast members are split evenly between the sexes- and estrogen and progesterone flow freely through the house. Everyone knows its about ratings- so we are all contributing to it by watching. Of course, as a dating coach, I need to keep abreast […]

Ali and Roberto

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Too often at the end of a “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette” season, I find myself thinking- you picked the wrong guy/girl. When Jason chose Melissa over Mollie, I had the sense he was playing it safe- which can a dangerous thing to do. It didn’t work because even though he liked Melissa- his attraction to Mollie […]

The Bachelorette tells nothing

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

If you have been following The Bachelorette, you know what a crazy season it has been. Just when we thought we had seen it all- they come up with new twists and shockers to drive up ratings. Last night, it was the “Men tell all” edition. I must say, they are a real nice group […]

Choose your bachelors wisely Ali

Monday, June 14th, 2010

The 4th week of Season 6 of the Bachelorette airs today. Ali has whittled the group of guys down to 11- and not necessarily the 11 you or I would choose. It is probably safe to say that the majority of viewers were not sad to see Craig go. However, Ali kept the “Weatherman” and […]

The Marriage Ref is NOT funny

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Just when we thought network TV had already hit rock bottom- along comes a show like The marriage Ref. NBC is getting more desperate by the day, and this show is its flagship loser. Jerry - stick to comedy- it’s what you do really, really well. As for the “expert panel,” they may have relationship […]

More To Love

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

It’s amazing how many dating shows have sprung up since the original, “The Bachelor.” We have been treated to The Bachelorette, The Age of Love, Dating in the Dark, and More to Love. There have also been some on cable and other channels that are less well known. Each features a specific angle or twist, […]

There’s Just Something About Jillian

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Women are always asking; “What do guys want in a woman?” I thought I could help answer that by taking a closer look at the traits that attracted men to Jillian Harris, the most recent bachelorette on ABC. Jillian was characterized as someone that “everyone loves,” and she ended the show with three great guys […]

Wes Gives New Meaning to the Term Bad Boy

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

She FINALLY sent him home. For weeks, many folks watched Jillian as she continued to offer Wes a rose at each end of the segment ceremony. Even though she had heard from one guy that “someone has a girlfriend and is here for the wrong reasons,” then, specifically from Jake that Wes told him he […]

Did You Hear What Her Body Said?

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

The other night I watched Michelle Obama speak at the Democratic Convention. She was poised, articulate and her presentation was flawless- which are all adjectives that have come to mind when I have watched other politicians, celebrities and high profile individuals speak. So, why was I riveted to the screen, unable to take my eyes […]

“Age” and “Science of Love”

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Two nights ago the second segment of “Age of love” was on, followed by “Science of love.” Must be the season for love… When I watch these shows, I look for significant or enlightening comments or dynamics- that could help to answer questions that many people have about attraction and relationships. Both of these have […]
