The Proposal- I'm confused as to what this show is about but let's talk about it!

Okay... so right now it's June 18th and right after The Bachelorette ends- a show called The Proposal starts... and I'm confused as to what it's about. So I'm going to talk about it... discuss why I think we're being subjected to this and... then maybe review it? I'm sure its not on by the time I post this... so I don't think I'll actually give it a review... but you bet I'm watching it! Lol.

So this seems like one of those bizarre decisions that I don't understand. Like last summer they had a show that Mario Lopez hosted where people would play Candy Crush for a half hour... and I'm like... okay but I would rather see anything else... So that was a thing people thought would be a good idea.

Anyway now there's this show which is like a pageant... but at the end there's a proposal by strangers. Or maybe they aren't strangers because they mention "A Secret Admirer" and they keep emphasizing that these people will be matched with a proposal in one hour.

So like... that's a terrible idea. For a lot of reasons.

1) Pageants aren't even really a thing any more... so the idea of this being a pageant is weird. I think Miss America even said that they're changing to be a competition more than a pageant... it's 2018... This just isn't really something people like to endorse.

2) I feel like you can know someone for a long time and it's like... nope. Don't want to marry them. At least not yet. That's just kind of a bad idea.

3) Have you ever gone on a date with someone you met on a dating app and you had a really good feeling about them... and then you ACTUALLY met them and you're like "Ohhh. No. This was bad." Imagine being engaged to them. On TV.

And I feel like the only reason that this is a thing is that it's some sort of elaborate plot to something else.

I feel like maybe there's some sort of investigation on one of the contestants or something and maybe they wanted to get as much information as possible so that they could get them.

Or maybe it really is an end of the world scenario and this is how they're trying to match us up quickly to try to repopulate. Maybe after this people will go to that weird airport in Denver and lay low... I'm pretty fascinated by this airport so I feel like I've cracked this theory and this is what's really going on. Or it's like a "Cabin in the woods" type of scenario where someone is controlling these people. Either way... I'm not sure these people are making their own choices and I'm a little concerned.

Maybe someone just owed someone a favor on ABC and this is what became of that favor.

My last theory is that this is all just a game being played by rich people like in Rat Race... this seems the least sinister and most likely... so it's probably just this.

So I'm going to watch this now... and I might review this but I'm not sure how long I'm going to actually watch this.

OMG another theory- this is Black Mirror!

Bye!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
