Something seems a little odd about this!

Amanda was in the audience on yesturday's show. Ellen talked about The Bachelor show today. They weren't on the same days but pretty close to it!!

Bloomers, I believe that Amanda was in the audience in yesterday's show (filmed in Orlando) and Ellen made her prediction about Shayne in today's show (L.A).
ETA: Sorry for the repeat! Reality beat me to it!

Blog about Shayne...gives a little insight about what she thinks of her experience on the show. She came in to audition for a role, and landed it....

Lamas and Me

We were running way late, obviously. So Lamas showed up and had to wait around for a long while. She was sitting nearby with some actors, and I was working up the courage to dive in with my Bachelor questions. Then we started shooting an insert shot (Hollywood talk) that they didn't need me around for and that's when I made my move.

I had heard some of the other people talking to her and I definitely heard "The Bachelor" mentioned. So I sat down right across from her and she looked at me and said "Hi!". I said "My name's Irwin, I'm a producer" (writers don't get p****).

Then I said, "I just wanted to sit in if there's any Bachelor talk happening". This got a laugh, and she put her head down, like "aw s***". I outed myself as a fan. She asked me if I "have a wife".

This was funny because a) I always forget that I'm old enough now where I should probably be married. b) she thought I could only be watching if my wife was forcing me to, and c) she was doing a gay check, because what straight man is that proud of being a fan of "The Bachelor"? Touche.

So we start talking about the show. She's pretty cool about it and had a good experience. No regrets. She knew she was taking a big risk for her "career" by doing it but the strike was happening so she went for it. She was a little bummed about the editing of episode 2. She said that Matt really is that awesome, and that I "wouldn't be disappointed" with the outcome.

Unfortunately, our conversation was cut short. Why? Because we were surrounded by extras. Now, for those of you not in the business, you need to know that extras are the biggest retards on Earth. They have dead eyes, because they do not have a soul. It's so weird because they look like regular human beings, but when you talk to them it takes about 2 seconds to realize that they are dead inside.

So these extras kept f***ing up our talk, breaking in with inane and nonsensical questions/comments. Like, "which season were you on?" or "how many girls are left right now?" and "your whose daughter?" As much fun as it was talking with her, I couldn't take those morons anymore and just got up and left.

Then we did her scene. I wish I could tell you her one line but I think I'm not allowed to. But let's just say it involved her chest (and is funny, I promise). Isn't it crazy how this girl is on a highly rated show on ABC primetime right now and has to slum it doing t** jokes with me? Welcome to the world of reality TV.

Despite that fact, she was a great sport. I cannot say enough nice things about her, she was very sweet and totally cool about everything, and very, very cute. We might use her again.

After her part was over, she came over to me. "Irwin, thank you so much! It was great meeting you". That's right, people, I felt a little vibe. We shook hands and parted ways. I thought to myself, "I did it! I got through this with no awkwardness! It's a miracle!"

But I spoke too soon...

Minutes later I was hanging out in a hallway pitching jokes for something. And Lamas comes out of her dressing room having changed back into her regular clothes. She passes by me and goes, "hey! Thanks again!" And puts her hand up for a high five. But I think she's going for another handshake, so I just stick my hand out.

That's right, it was the awkward high five/handshake, the scourge of awkard douches everywhere!

She goes "I was going for a high five, but okay..." Dammit, such a common mistake! I thought I was better than that!

That was it. About 45 seconds later I thought "I should get a picture for the blog!" But it was too late. And the rest of the shoot I felt bad that I didn't get the picture for everyone. Well, there's always next time. And maybe we can get one of us recreating the unfortunate our now infamous high five/handshake.

Goodnight!

Notes From A Hack: Lamas and Me

Wow...Great story..It sounds like she didn't win though..no gushing about it or anything..More like ,"Matt is a great guy...good ending, you won't be dissappointed"..but it does not sound like she cares that much about it and has moved on

[goldie2]

Other things to consider..

"She's pretty cool about,no regrets" does not sound like a F1
She doesn't like her editing either..

she is not being edited as well as a F1 would be..
I see Amanda as the one here..
