Introduction
 Yes,
it's true that the focus of
HairBoutique.com
is hair, beauty and related info. And yes, I am totally out of
the closet about how nuts I am about reality TV, specifically the
romance variety. (Image of Bob at Bachelor Premiere Party - Byron J.

I loved Bachelors 1, 2 and 3. I was totally addicted to the
Bachelorette shows. And yes, I watched Who Wants To Marry My
Dad, Married By America, Joe Millionaire and For Love Or Money 1 &
2.
In all fairness I have to say that I depend on my faithful Tivo to
record the episodes for me. Even better, I manage to do some
"light work" while listening with one ear....well at least
to some of the shows. I keep my Tivo speeder nearby and speed
through as appropropriate. I don't really surf but I do maximize
my Reality TV (RT) viewing experiences since I am usually pressed for
time.
 I
also must confess that I use the my RT time to
deep
condition my hair, apply the
various
face masks and creams, and do my manicure and pedicure. (Trista
Rehn & Ryan Sutter w/Charlie Mahar - at the Premiere
Party for The Bachelor - Byron J. Cohen - ABC - all rights

If I am so blessed to have several reality shows taped then after I
am done with all the beauty stuff, I will pause the Tivo, rinse off
all the beauty gook and then settle into my favorite jammies to watch
from the glow of my
getFresh
candle infused bedroom. Then I drift off to sleep dreaming
of new reality shows that would be even cooler.
But I digress.
When it comes to the Bachelor series, I pay 100% attention to
everything that happens except for the commercials, unless they
include singing animals or it is the commercial where the mouse, cat
and dog conspire to suck up all the clueless master's food and thus
sell a stain proof carpet.
A New Bob Guiney - The
Ultimate Bachelor
Last night was the first two hour episode when America's brand new
Bachelor, Bob Guiney. A newer, thinner, more suave, Bob returned
as Bachelor 4. The promos for the show as well as the clips from
the producers pointed out that Bob Guiney is nothing like the original
three bachelors.
That's the good news. And yes, Bob doesn't have the suaveness
and sophistication of the ultimately unfaithful Alex Michel the hot
body or ultimate cold hearted behaviors of Aaron or the money of
Andrew, the best bachelor to date before Bob.

Andrew not only found love with Jen, he is making good on his
promise and wedding plans are being formulated for the happy couple
from Bachelor 3.
The bad news? By the time the 25 hand picked bachelorettes
arrived on the show to meet Bob they were whipped into an over-the-top
mating frenzy unparallelled by any other reality dating show.
Bob is the ultimate bachelor because he was selected as a direct
result of fan demands. He is definitely America's favorite as
well as Oprah's favorite bachelor guest.
When host Chris Harrison reminded the 25 lovelies that they could
turn down the rose I was thinking, yeah right. Like these 25
women who beat out an unprecedented horde of salivating singles are
going to voluntarily give up their seats on the dating
bus.
No way.
And I was right. In fact, I was waiting for a catfight to
break out at any minute. Even during the very first episode the
beautiful bachelor babes were screaming Bob's name in the limos,
aggressively grabbing Bob's limbs.

meeting on The Bachelor 4 - Craig Sjodin - ABC - all rights reserved).
The brazen ladies were filmed pulling him away from
each other. The very bubbly Kelly Jo (shown above) was filmed
planting the episode's first sultry kiss smack dab on Bob's surprised,
but willing lips. Did Bob mind? Obviously not since he confessed
the kiss to Harrison before Bob made his final cut. He also kept
Kelly Jo in the first elimination.
Bob also discussed the "first series kiss"
in his online diary at the official
ABC
Bachelor site. He said that "Kelly (she's) very
attractive and she's got a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and energy.
I didn't initiate kissing her but we certainly did have an opportunity
to kiss one another and it was quite nice".
So maybe boys do kiss and tell as well as rewarding
the ballsy lady with a rose. Kelly even won the first rose of the
evening which could be a bad omen based on past Bachelor shows.
Stay tuned as Kelly makes her moves in the next episode.
While Kelly Jo made quick work of Bob's lips, another
bachelorette grabbed his hands. Others hugged him and were
touching him at every chance they could get.
There were points in the first episode where Bob had that deer in
the headlights...how did this happen to me.... look. With good
cause. Although Bob confessed to being "flattered" by
all the attention, he seem babe-bombarded.
So Bob - What About JLO?
Geez, the way the Bachelorettes were reacting to Bob I think that
Bob should dump them all and go for JLo. After all, even though
Ben showered her with jewels and furs, he proved to be a big bad dog
in the stripper world. And big stars are rumored to be hot for
the bachelors boys. Sandra Bullock was reported to have
contacted Bachelor 2, Aaron Buerge and was thought to "have a
crush on him".
If Sandra could go for Aaron, who dumped Helene at a Starbucks,
then how could JLo pass up Mr. Nice Guy Bob Guiney? On the first
episode Bob expressed sincere concern about "not hurting anyone's
feelings" which is something he pointed out he cares very much
about not doing.
You could just see that Bob was upset that he had to send 10 of the
rowdy ladies home after the first night. And yes, Bob admitted to host
Harrison that "who doesn't love a pretty girl?" but you just
know that Bob is the solid faithful type.
JLo wouldn't have to worry about Bob hitting the strip clubs.
Although she might have to worry about leaving Bob alone to grocery
shop. He would probably be assaulted at the grocery store in the
frozen food aisles by Bob-hungry dames.
So Bob, if you are reading this, consider the possibilities. Even
better, your good friend Oprah is connected and could introduce you to
any star studded lovely you might fancy. And of course for the
younger rocker chicks Sharon Osborne could help you out.
But if Bob is anything like he seems and he found love on the
Bachelor 4 show, I know he won't even consider more lovelies. He just
seems like the true blue loyal kinda guy. Which is probably why
American babes are bonkers for Bob Guiney.
OK OK - The Hair
 As
I predicted in a previous article, Bob looked perfectly touseled and
coiffed for the debut of Bachelor 4.
There was a clip during the opening episode where Bob's clothing
stylist was filmed showing Bob the vast collection of hot threads he
had to chose from. (Image above of Bob and Nora
"mom" Guiney - ABC - Craig Sjodin)
In addition, there were also a few clips of various hairstylists
and makeup artists preparing the ladies for the Rose Ceremony
evening. In one clip a frazzled bachelorette was nervously
explaining why she hoped she would get a rose in the first ceremony.
Bob's mom Nora Guiney (shown above) made a surprise appearance to
size up her potential daughter-in-laws. Bob's mom looked
stunning with her blonde highlighted hair done in a soft, yet chic,
longer bob style. If Bob's mom wasn't happily married to Bob's
hard working dad back in Detroit, she would be a perfect candidate for
Who Wants To Marry My Mom?
 Mom
Guiney, when asked by Bob, recommended Kristin, Lee-Ann and
Karin (pronounced
CAR-wren), but advised her son to
pick the women he gets "along with best". Yes, Bob
paid attention and selected all three ladies for the first fifteen.
We also got a few glimpses of Bob's blonde sister who obviously
adores and supports Bob's quest for love in front of America.
Many
of the new
Bachelorettes had gorgeous coifs. And the beautifully
coiffed Shae was mentioned by Bob to Host Harrison as someone that he
immediately noticed exiting from her limo. In fact, Bob makes a
point of mentioning in
his
online diary at the ABC site that he thought he might be hanging
out with Shae.
Everything happens for a reason but sadly the gorgeous firefighter
did not make the final cut. Geez Bob, with all the talk about Shae,
why didn't you keep her? What gives? He also admitted that
he "felt awful" about letting some of the ladies go.
From the look on his face you know he was honestly hurting.
 Blonde
and beautiful 24 year old Heather from Illinois (shown to the side -
courtesy ABC - all rights reserved) definitely was feeling the pain of
being cut.
Usually the sobbing exhibited by Heather when she was left behind
does not usually happen in the first show but later on in the Bachelor
series. Unlike all the other bachelor shows, the bachelorettes
knew that they were meeting Bob from the Bachelorette.
This fact seems to account for their over- the- top frenzy.
It also would account for the fact that the lovely blonde Heather took
her first cut so hard.
Shelly who was pretty in pink also got chopped and was one of the
first to graciously walk over to say goodbye to Bob after she was cut.

Summary
One thing is for sure, the hair and makeup will definitely be done
to perfection for Bob, Host Harrison and the ladies at the Rose
ceremonies. Even better, Bachelor 4 looks like it will be full
of explosive human emotions, scorned women and lots of potential
catfights. It should be some season. Meow.
