The Bachelor: Rome - The Live Blog

We love the "The Bachelor: Rome" so much that tonight, in honor of Prince Hottie Lorenzo, we'll be live blogging during the show. What that means is that you'll get our snide comments regarding Ms. Thang (aka Erica the socialite) in real time! The show starts at 8 p.m. on ABC 13. You can check out a preview of tonight's drama filled episode before you tune in to see what kind of reality show mess we'll be watching.

8:03 - The preview for tonight's episode looks great. Erica will apparently throw another diva fit. Jami, the girl from Texas City, won an individual date. Of course Erica threw in that the two of them would never, ever work out. And we hate to say it, but we think she's right.

8:10 - Lorenzo is asking Jami to sing opera. Please, no. No! Oh, god. She's singing. He's smiling. Surely this is just creative editing at work.

The rest of the girls get the next date box, which tells them who is going on the next date and where. Erica looks upset that she isn't a part of the next one. We're heartbroken, too. Not really.

8:13 - Lorenzo finally fesses up (via talkover) that there's no physical chemistry between he and Jami. He's not giving her a rose. One Texas girl down, one Texas diva girl to go.

8:21 - Some chick named Gina is talking about how she hopes she stands out to Lorenzo. She doesn't even stand out to us. Who is this girl? Has she been in the other episodes?

The group date is in Tuscany. They're at a wine tasting. Hot girls, quasi-prince, Tuscany and wine. Sounds like an "oh, shit" night in the making.

Back to Erica and the Italian girl whose name we don't remember. The date box tells us that one of them will stay and one will go. When the Italian chick says it's going to be her, Erica responds with a classy, "I don't think so, bitch." Even though the Italian chick barely speaks English, we're rooting for her. Clearly.

8:30 - Lorenzo is in a swimsuit and t-shirt. Take it off!!!

8:31 - He's still got that blasted t-shirt on. Bummer.

Twenty-three year old Sadie just dropped the bomb that she's still the big V. Lorenzo took it well, but we're thinking she just sealed her fate of getting booted before the end. Which is too bad, because she might just be one of the few sane ones.

Now he's spending some alone time with Lisa. He just asked to kiss her. Who does that?

8:33 - Back to the mansion and Erica and the Italian chick. We can understand why we don't know the Italian chick's name. But Erica apparently doesn't know it either. And she lives with her. (FYI, the Italian chick's name is not Agnes. Close, Erica. Very close.)

8:36 - On the group date, Lorenzo has made the mistake of getting himself involved in a game of truth or dare. Idiot!

8:40 - During the break we looked up the name of the Italian chick. It's Agnese. (Pronounced like ann-yay-say.) After the commercial it's the Erica/Agnese face off. It's about time for some drama!

Before the date Erica says Agnese isn't princess material. That's a direct quote.

Now Erica and Lorenzo are having one on one time. She's saying things that make sense. We hate that. Wait. . . nevermind. She just used the word "commoner" in a sentance. And she's still calling Agnese "Agnes" and a golddigger. Now she's talking about notches. She lost us a little, but we think she was putting the other girls down. And she just called Lorenzo a dumbass. (Not to his face.) This is going well.

8:47 - He's about to give out the rose? Who will it be? Erica or Agnes Agnese?

And the winner is Agnes! Er, we mean, Agnese! Erica is outta there! And she seems to be having a breakdown of sorts. The girl is sitting in the limo with the window down arguing with Lorenzo about why he's sending her home. And her final words to him? "I'm sorry that you made a really bad mistake." Apparently her being pretty and smart and coming from a good background are just working against her! It's hard being perfect.

8:52 - Lorenzo and Agnese are making out with fireworks in the background. (Can we get a group sigh?)

Here's another Erica voiceover! "It's a disgusting little gross fairty tale. The poor girl meets the rich guy and they fall in love, happily ever after." She is just a gem of a humanitarian, isn't she?

8:54 - It's rose ceremony time! Now that the two Texans are out of the running (and the drama queen is gone), this is a little less interesting than usual. Sadie, Lisa, Jen and Desiree get roses. (Jeanette and Agnese got roses on dates.) Gina (the memorable one) is going home. We're noticing that she's actually hot. What was he thinking?

8:59 - Next week on the show, there's going to be a lot of making out, a little streaking, and oh my, Erica is back. With her tiara on. Of course.
