Check it out: Vulture blog

When you're looking at all these Bach blogs after a while it seems like everyone's saying the same thing. Which is why I really liked this blog from Vulture - it actually brought up some useful points!
Before we get into that, though, it is important to mention that Kacie's mom is, like, 30, tops! I don't know what she's putting on her face, but we all deserve to know about it. She looks like a 27-year-old Bushwick hipster who went full-mom at a Tacky Christmas Sweater party.
So, so true. We were all wondering about that when watching the Christmas party. Did she get knocked up at 18 and that's why she's so against living in sin? America wants to know.
 You know how sometimes on this show, one of the contestants says that her or his family "wasn't comfortable" with the spotlight, and so he or she takes the Bachelor or Bachelorette back to his or her awesome loft, where they meet their dog or their best friends or something instead? Yeah, Kacie should have done that.
Agreed x 1000. Similarly, this is what I'd do if I was on the show. Not that I don't love my family, but I know my cat would be 100% supportive. 
Then it's time to meet the parents, and, as mentioned last week, Courtney's father does indeed look like a generic old white rich guy from an eighties comedy, and he heartily introduces himself as "Rick Roberts." Which is strange, because his daughter's name is Courtney Robertson! I guess maybe there was already a model named Courtney Roberts or something.
Intrigue!
 If marriage is the biggest gamble in life, Courtney's fake wedding idea is the biggest contestant gamble in Bachelor history. I mean, she makes Ben write VOWS. And then recite them before a bemused older man of indeterminate religious status. It's basically that thing where the contestants are always wearing white dresses as a "subtle" suggestion to the Bachelor of what they would look like as a bride, but times a thousand. They even drive off in an SUV decorated with "Almost Married." This girl has balls! But when you think about it, Courtney knows Ben is crazy about her and that the only thing holding him back is his worries (planted by the other girls) that she might not be in it to marry him. So having that fake wedding was a genius move on her part. 
So true. If anyone else had pulled this shit, she would be labeled "crazy psycho desperate to get married Fatal Attraction-style stalker" but since it's Courtney, it's a genius move. 
Be sure to read the rest of the blog - it's an excellent way to entertain yourself on a Thursday morning :)
