The group heads to Munich, and Chris Siegfried gets the one-on-one date. Desiree and Chris will tour Munich and take in a private concert by Matt White. It seems that Chris will get a rose. For the group date, Hartsock and her guys will go sledding down the highest peak in Munich. Steve didn’t dish on many details about the group date.

Supposedly at some point in this episode, Bryden will decide to leave the show because he apparently wasn’t feeling it with Desiree. Whether ABC will edit it that way or not nobody really knows quite yet. The two-on-one date features Ben Scott and Michael Garofola, a showdown which has been building for a while. Desiree and the guys spend time on a boat and later in the hot tub, and Desiree eliminates Ben Scott during the date.

At the rose ceremony Mikey Tenerelli is eliminated, and of course Ben Scott will have already left. It is believed that Bryden will be gone by this point, though Reality Steve indicated he didn’t know quite how this piece would go down. Desiree Hartsock and her remaining eight bachelors will go to Portugal for the next episode.

Tune in to ABC’s “The Bachelorette 2013” for all of the fun, love and drama this season with Desiree Hartsock. Does Dez find love? Tune in Monday nights to see what happens.

 

 

Dunkin’ Donuts rant showcases best, worst in people

Here is one of those stories that makes you want to yell and scream, perhaps in both positive and negative ways. A young woman named Taylor Chapman wanted to post a YouTube video that would go viral and reflect poorly on Dunkin’ Donuts. Instead her rant showcased how racist and rude she is. On the bright side, it also brought attention to one young man who has a lot going for him.

The Dunkin’ Donut rant video goes on for eight minutes. In it, Taylor Chapman uses derogatory and racist language, along with a whole lot of cursing to try to bully a young man into giving her free food. She got the food, but she also got buried in negative comments on YouTube and it seems she has essentially gone into hiding. Check out the video:

 

There is something positive that has come out of this, however. Dunkin’ Donuts has praised the employees involved and promised further recognition for them. Abid Adar is the young man taking the brunt of the abuse in the Dunkin’ Donuts rant. He just graduated high school, and hopes to become a doctor. One person who was appalled by the video started an IndieGogo page to raise money for Abid and his co-worker Nithi. The campaign has only been live a few days, but has already garnered $7,000.

Some would say that if the bullied bus driver grandmother could end up with something like $600,000, people should be able to pull together to help these Dunkin’ Donut employees too. Maybe the store itself will step up with some recognition that goes beyond some positive words as well. Given the venom in this Dunkin’ Donuts rant video, they’ve earned it.

‘The Bachelor 2013′ stars Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici appear on ‘Good Morning America’

SeanCatB.jpgSean Lowe and Catherine Giudici sat down together on “Good Morning America” Wednesday to give fans a fun update about how they are doing. Though people saw plenty of Sean and a bit of Catherine during “Dancing With the Stars,” this is the first full interview the two have done together in a bit. What did they have to share?

 

Of course “The Bachelor” fans are anxious to hear of a solid wedding date for Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, but it is good they are taking their time a bit. Clearly the two are staying in Los Angeles for now, and they seem to be doing well. Some worried that this “The Bachelor” relationship would hit rocky times either during “DWTS” or right after Sean was eliminated, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Everybody enjoys following their love story, and hopefully there are many more joyous updates on Sean and Catherine yet to come.

‘The Challenge: Rivals II’ spoilers: Who wins this season’s finale battle?

MTV logoMTV’s “The Challenge: Rivals II” will debut on July 10, and fans cannot wait to check out the new season. As is usually the case, Molds13 at the Vevmo forums has “The Challenge” spoilers for this season. Will fans be thrilled or disappointed with the winners for this season?

According to Molds13, the winners of “The Challenge: Rivals II” are CT Tamburello and Wes Bergmann for the guys and Emily Schromm and Paula Meronek for the ladies. It seems that Johnny Bananas Devenanzio and Frank Sweeney are second for the men while Cara Maria Sorbello and Heather Cooke are second for the women. That then means that Jordan Wiseley and Marlon Williams take third place for the men while Camila Nakagawa and Jemmye Carroll take third for the women.

Many will likely be thrilled to see CT win and Johnny Bananas lose this one, but there will surely be groans over Paula winning. Tune in to MTV beginning July 10 to see how it all goes down this season on “The Challenge: Rivals II.”

During episode 4 of Desiree Hartsock’s “The Bachelorette 2013,” viewers will see two one-on-one dates and one group date. According to Reality Steve’s spoilers, there is another case of some drama coming up from back home, and a few other juicy tidbits including a Mr. America showdown. What can fans expect?

According to Reality Steve, Brad McKinzie will get a one-on-one date with Desiree Hartsock. The two head to an amusement park, but at some point there will be an interruption regarding Brad, his former girlfriend and his child back home. Steve said that of course he doesn’t know how much of this will play out on-screen, but there is a phone call relayed to Brad about his ex Brittnee Nelson leaving their son Maddex with Brad’s mom. It seems Brittnee and her fiance split up and Brittnee leaves the state.

Though Steve doesn’t know when Brad will leave the show during this episode, “The Bachelorette” spoilers indicate that he does leave to head home to take care of his son.

The group date is a Mr. America competition where the guys have to answer a question, do a talent and do a swimsuit competition. The questions are things like what kind of animal the bachelor would want to be, whether looks matter or how they would describe their ideal mate. As for the talent portion, here is what each guy did according to Reality Steve:

  • Kasey: tap dancing
  • Drew: read from Romeo & Juliet
  • Bryden: strip tease
  • Chris: came out in women’s heels and hula hooped
  • Mike G.: sang the Beastie Boys “Fight for Your Right to Party”
  • Brooks: made up a song he sang as he played the ukelele, and he smashed it on the ground at the end
  • Mikey: did a Michael Jackson impersonation
  • Ben: did a rhythmic gymnastics routine
  • Zak Waddell: sang and played the guitar
  • Zack K.: roller skated
  • Juan Pablo: played the mini drums

The judges awarded third place to Brooks, second to Zak and Kasey Stewart won the top prize.

James Case gets the other one-on-one date. Desiree and James visit the area where Hurricane Sandy hit and they get to meet Darius Rucker. James gets a rose. At the rose ceremony, Zack Kalter is left without a rose, and it is believed that Brad will have already left.

Tune in to ABC’s “The Bachelorette 2013” on Monday, June 17 to see just how these “The Bachelorette” spoilers play out.

ABC shared a new “The Bachelorette” spoiler sneak peek for episode 3 airing June 10, and Brian is going to find himself with a lot of explaining to do. Take a look:

 

Does Brian try to dig himself out of this deep hole? Or will he pull a Rated-R like in Ali’s season and just bolt? That much remains to be seen, but it is pretty obvious he won’t be getting a rose.

Did you catch Shaq’s 2-year-old challenger on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” the other night? Young Titus has become an Internet sensation thanks to his talent for sinking hoops, and Kimmel decided to set up a showdown between Shaquille O’Neal and Titus. How did it go?

 

Titus kicked some serious butt, and people are getting quite the kick out of this one. Sure, the hoop was much lower and closer for Titus, but Kimmel claims that the proportions were fair between the two. Could Titus be the next big thing in the NBA in about 16 years? He just might be! While there’s no telling how hard O’Neal tried in the Shaq vs. 2-year-old showdown, one can’t argue that Titus did a fantastic job.

This is not a date for wimps, clearly! “The Bachelorette” spoilers also indicate that later in the evening, crazy winds pick up and threaten to put a damper on Desiree and Kasey’s dinner plans.

Monday night on ABC’s “The Bachelorette 2013” Desiree Hartsock will make new romantic connections, while an old connection comes back to haunt one bachelor. On June 7 TV Grapevine posted a new extended “The Bachelorette” spoiler sneak peek, and when paired with Reality Steve’s spoilers, fans can get a great idea of what to expect.

Desiree will have two group dates and one individual date. The first group date takes 10 guys to a dodgeball competition, and one guy will get additional time with Desiree. The blue team has Brad, Ben, Zack, Brian and Drew while the red team has Brooks, Brandon, Chris, Mikey and Michael. The competition is a best 2-out-of-3.

Brooks Forester injures his finger, and he had to be pulled from the game. Apparently, somehow the broken finger is such that he is actually taken away in an ambulance. Viewers will have to decide for themselves whether that seems necessary. The competition comes down to Zack vs. Chris and eventually the blue team wins. Later in the evening Chris Siegfried gets alone time with Desiree and they enjoy a concert with Kate Earl.

Kasey Stewart gets a one-on-one with Desiree, and they have a great evening. However, “The Bachelorette” spoiler sneak peek shows that they also battle some crazy winds that may put a damper on the evening. Kasey will get a rose, however.

At some point of the episode, Brian will be confronted by his girlfriend from home, Stephanie Larimore. It seems Brian told her he just needed a break from their relationship and lied about going on the show. Desiree is front-and-center for the confrontation, and ultimately Brian leaves the show.

The other group date has the guys learning cowboy stunts. This date includes Zak, James, Juan Pablo, Bryden and Dan. Zak wins a private screening of “The Lone Ranger” with Desiree Hartsock. The two have a great evening, and later joke about how smooth (or not) Zak was in his attempt to go in for a first kiss.

“The Bachelorette” spoiler previews also indicate that at one point, Ben Scott sneaks in some “secret” alone time with Desiree. He is caught, however, and this escalates the already growing tension between some of the men. Reality Steve has teased that this will come to a head in episode 5 when Michael Garofola and Ben Scott end up on a 2-on-1 date with Desiree.

Who is eliminated during ABC’s “The Bachelorette 2013” episode 3? Obviously Brian is gone thanks to the girlfriend confrontation, and both Brandon Andreen and Dan Cox are left without roses. This will be the last episode in Los Angeles, as next week the group heads to Atlantic City. Does Desiree Hartsock find love this season? “The Bachelorette” spoilers indicate that she does, and fans are anxious to see if it will last.

News crew attacked: Victim’s mother orders dogs to attack reporter

A news crew attack video has gone viral after being posted to YouTube. A reporter and photographer for ABC 6 went to the home of Melissa Lawrence on Tuesday and she clearly did not want to talk with them. The news crew was asking for a comment from her after a development in the case of her daughter’s shooting. First Lawrence ordered the ABC 6 team away from her property, then she reacted before they had much of a chance to leave. Take a look:

 

Melissa Lawrence is now facing two counts of felony assault for the attack. One count is for throwing the rock at the photographer, the other count is for ordering her pit bulls to attack. Luckily reporter Abbey Niezgoda was okay, having received a minor bite on her forearm. Photographer Marc Jackson was fine as well.

Police arrested Melissa Lawrence after reviewing the videotape shot by Jackson during the arrest. Lawrence appeared in court Wednesday and entered pleas of not guilty. People can certainly understand the woman not wanting to talk to the reporters in the wake of her daughter’s shooting. However, most would agree that the way she handled things with the news crew attack was problematic to say the least.
