THE BACHELOR: Zach Chooses His Final Four, and Sends Away Another After She Recovered From COVID-19

A key week in ‘Bachelor’ Zach Shallcross’ journey to find love has come and gone, all leading to next week’s ‘hometowns’ where Zach will meet the families of the four women still in the running for the final rose.

However, while one can appreciate Shallcross’ determination to find love, he often still comes across cold and somewhat insensitive to when the contestants share some of their inner most struggles or stories of their past.  Even when one of them, the early favorite, Greer (she received the ‘first impression’ rose), returns after having to step away from the competition following contracting Covid-19, he devastates her.  If you recall, Zach also had contracted Covid-19 before Greer and had to spend time away from the ladies and had to have a rose ceremony through a Zoom to boot.

As time has gone on, Zach has become to some, one of the least liked ‘Bachelor’ stars in recent memory.  Even former ‘Bachelor’ star, Nick Viall has been calling out Shallcross for his behavior, including a tweet from a few weeks ago that expressed: “That’s 2 weeks in row now Zach was a total dick to one of the woman. It’s literally all about the one on one. Zach knows that. He made Jess feel like she messed up for expressing a valid concern.”  However in a slight defense of him after this week’s episode, Viall tweeted,  “Zach is now fully in ‘I’m the Bachelor, and it’s your job to prove to me you’re worthy’, Mode.”

On Monday’s episode, Greer rejoins up with the cast and crew in Budapest after being away from the show for a few weeks after contracting COVID.  When Greer made her pitch to Zach in his hotel room, he shut the emotional Greer down. Some say it was payback for the comment she made the last time they spoke when she compared his testing positive for COVID, to the positive COVID test that prevented her from hitting her sales goal in her job.

Zach clearly tells Greer, “The last thing I want to do is string you along.” But didn’t Zach do just that? Greer came down with COVID two countries before Budapest and then was in isolation for a week.  Couldn’t he have stopped this earlier, instead of the woman tracking him down in another country, only to be shown the front door? In the end, Greer exited the show amidst a sea of tears and mascara dripping down her face.

Later, after a one-on-one date with Brooklyn, things take a turn when Brooklyn admits the importance of bringing a man home to meet her family, especially talking about her grandfather, who she calls her ‘hero’.  Brooklyn detailed how her real father left when she was very young.  Zach excuses himself from his dinner date, and has to ponder what to do after hearing this.  Eventually, he dumps her, because he does not want to hurt her and go in front of her family, when he is not 100% in it with her. Fair enough.

After the remaining women were all having emotional difficulties (who wouldn’t) with knowing where they stood with their suitor, and if they would be the one to be sent home, we eventually head into the rose ceremony.  Kaity and Gabi already have their roses earned earlier in the episode. That leaves two more roses to give out to either Ariel, Kat or Charity.

Shocking many, it was Kat who was sent home. When Kat questioned Zach as to why, he can’t seem to explain his decision.  However, throughout the episode it was clear Kat was doubting herself and their relationship as her concerns kept mounting and her tears kept flowing.  Her exit clearly seemed to upset Zach, who needed a hug from host Jesse Palmer, as Kat was whisked away forever in a limo.

So, of the four remaining women vying for the final rose, who do you think is going to wind up with Zach?  Will it be Kaity, Gabi, Ariel or Charity, or no one? What have you thought of how Zach has handled situations where he eliminates the contestants? Share your thoughts below.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown: Rey Mysterio Pushed to the Limits ‘Clocks’ His Son Dominik & Their Wrestlemania Match is Set

When the WWE tells storylines involving family of a wrestler, it succeeds the most in true soap opera form, and in front of a live crowd.  This one set up a major Wrestlemania match months in the making.

Last night on Friday Night Smackdown, soon-to-be WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, was in a match against LA Knight. Coming to ringside was none other than Rey’s turned-heel son, and member of the Judgement Day, Dominik Mysterio.

When Dominik got the opportunity, he tripped up his dad from outside the ring ropes and LA Knight secured the victory.  Already having enough of Dominik’s antics, Rey heads up towards the entrance ramp, but once again Dominik goes on to bait his dad, about what a loser father he is, and how all the years he was growing up, Rey was MIA and wrestling around the world.

For weeks, the younger Mysterio has been daring his father to punch him, but Rey swore he would never touch his son, no matter how bad things got.  However, that all changed last night when Dominik involved Rey’s wife and his daughter who were at ringside.

Dominik got in his mother’s face for staying married to a loser like Rey, and after trashing his mother, that was the final straw for Rey.  He headed back to the ring area and punched his son!  After the crowd went nuts with approval, Rey turned to Dominik and told him he will see him at Wrestlemania and the match between father vs. son has been made.

Following the events, Rey took to his Instagram and shared:  “Every man has his limits…Don’t forget, she’s not only your mother, but my wife.”

Watch went down below as Dominik provoked Rey which leads to next week’s Wrestlemania 39 match in Los Angeles.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn Hug It Out and Reunite

When you can get the kind of ‘pop’ that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn received in front of a live crowd on Friday night’s edition of WWE Smackdown, you know you have struck gold.

Truthfully, this storyline has got so much emotional heart at its epicenter that you find yourself rooting for the two friends to finally put aside their differences.

With Cody Rhodes attempting to mend fences between the estranged besties, it ultimately failed, or did it?  After KO walked out of the arena, he was about to get in his car and drive off when a distraught Sami ran after him. Sami pleaded with Kevin, sharing, that they are ‘brothers’ and that he loves him, and that this is not all just about wanting to repair their friendship just to go after the Usos. KO heard him out, but was silent and eventually drove off.

From there, it looked like it was going to be very bad night for Zayn. Not only was his friendship with Owens in question, but he had to head to the ring for a confrontation with enemy-turned-friend (or so he thought), Jey Uso.

In another great in-ring performance, Jey takes to the mic and unloads on Zayn.  Jey says he was betrayed by Sami, and had no choice but to eventually go back and side with The Bloodline. Just then, Sami took the mic and told Jey he did have a choice, but instead he chose to put up with Roman Reigns’ abuse for weeks.  Sami admits he loved being part of the Uso family and The Bloodline, but he wasn’t willing to stand for Reigns’ manipulations any longer.  He even goes on to say that Jey secretly wishes that he had delivered the chair shot to Reigns at the Royal Rumble.

All of that said was not enough to steer Jey back to Sami’s side, and from there all communication broke down.  Zayn was manhandled by both Jey and his brother, Jimmy Uso.  However, Kevin Owens returned when his music hit … but not down the ramp, he was already in the ring behind the Usos.

Shocked, Owens delivered a stunner and powerbomb to the brothers Uso. After the ring was cleared of Usos, the crowd started chanting in unison “hug it out” as Cody Rhodes watched on a monitor from the back with a smile on his face and a bit overcome.

Finally, Kevin went in to hug Sami, the crowd went nuts, the friends are back together, and we wouldn’t be surprised one bit if this week the WWE will announce that it will be Owens and Zayn vs. The Usos for the Tag Team titles at Wrestlemania 39 in just a few short weeks.

Take a look at the dramatic moments leading up to the reunion of Kevin and Sami below.

Now let us know, where you happy to see Kevin come to Sami’s aid and hug it out with his best friend? Comment below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Ridge & Bill and The FBI Are Working Together to Bring Down Sheila!

How’s that for a headline we thought we would never see, or did not see coming … at all! On Wednesday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, there was a quite a shocking cliffhanger in store for viewers.

The twist brings Thorsten Kaye back into the canvas after his character of Ridge presumably left town following Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor (Krista Allen) kicking him to the curb.

Meanwhile for months now, viewers have been wondering what the hell is wrong with Bill Spencer (Don Diamont)? How could he be romantically involved with Sheila (Kimberlin Brown)? Hitting the sheets with her? Defending her? Blackmailing Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) to keep Sheila out of jail?

Many presumed it would be revealed that Bill has a brain tumor, or a physical ailment or had some sort of psychotic break (sword necklace and all), that would explain away his behavior.

Turns out we sort of got our answer at the end of yesterday’s episode.  In it, we see someone scanning a key card to go into “authorized personnel only” room. As the camera pans up, we see plenty of computers and a jacket that reads FBI.  Yes, the kind with big yellow letters on it.

Next, the cameras reveal a man taking off his headphones.  When we pan up, it is revealed that the man is actually Ridge Forrester in a sort of ‘man-bun’.  Next to him is … Bill!

Then Ridge calls Bill his “partner” in this takedown, and asks how is he holding up?  Just then, we see Bill angrily looking at multi-cams from Bill’s house and of Sheila sitting on the phone talking to someone.  Bill then declares that he wants to put Shiela Carter behind bars for life.

The story point has left viewers a bit confused. Such as: Sheila was already behind bars, when Bill got her out of the slammer by blackmailing Steffy and Finn over revealing that Taylor shot him years ago.

So, what did you think about the Ridge and Bill shocker? Do you think this is going to redeem Ridge in the eyes of Brooke and Taylor because he has thus been “protecting” their families this whole time? Do you think Bill will be able to keep his apparent charade with Sheila up much longer?  Watch the reveal below, and then share your thoughts and theories in the comment section.
