While most might have perceived Emily's sweetness and openness as the equivalent of a pushover, think again.

Emily flies Arie to Tennessee for private access to Dollywood. After facing her fears (what, another cliché?! You bet.) on a rollercoaster and winning stuffed animals, the two are prompted to write a love song. They're quickly interrupted by Emily's idol, Dolly Parton.

This week, they're handing out courting strategy awards to the most notable suitors from episode three. Disagree with their choices? Sound off in the comments.

This week's "Bachelorette" included a surprise visit from Dolly Parton, some excellent reminders that we're still in Charlotte, North Carolina, and proved once and for all that reality television involving children is a lot less fun to guilty-pleasure watch.

I have to give it to Emily for being straightforward and honest with "her boys." If the bachelors don't prove that they can fit into her life as a future husband and father, she has no problem escorting them to the door.

Twenty-five men have been reaped from society to join the game. Oh sure, they volunteered, no one will die in the process. But they will be put on display. And we will watch them all the same.

Here's the other thing: Miss Piggy is so much more charismatic than Emily. It was almost unfair they had to share screen time. There was a running gag of Piggy getting jealous of Em and Kermit. And despite Kermit's best efforts to compliment Emily, it was clear he's way out of her league.

In the words of contestant Doug, "The Bachelorette" just got real this week. In addition to the continued development of male egos, the week two also brought us two one-on-one dates, a group date and The Muppets.

Emily chats with some of the guys, and the same scene unfolds season after season: the guy who was already given a rose steals one-on-one time away from the other men, who haven't seen the bachelorette in days, and hissy fits ensue.

After sitting through all two hours -- which felt more like two years -- of The Bachelorette's second episode I officially agree with Erin Gloria Ryan of Jezebel: the show is "racist against interesting people." What it's NOT biased against: all things Charlotte, the Muppets and discussions about Emily's hotness.

Not even the Muppets could help this train. How can you screw up anything that has to do with the Muppets? But Chris Harrison subbing in for Statler to heckle with Waldorf was a moment of genius.

The women in my neighborhood always seemed to be complaining of some injustice or another and I wanted them to stop. "Why bring attention to yourself like this?" I remember thinking at age 10.

The time has come again to watch 25 men with questionable sanity vie for the affections of one woman with questionable desirability.

The world's premier television show for masochists has officially returned. That's right ladies and gentleman, "The Bachelorette" is back, ready take viewers on an epic JOURNEY full of true love, frenemies, dude tears and scenic Charlotte, NC.

HuffPost staff writer Natasha Burton and her boyfriend, Greg St. Clair, live together, which means that Monday nights he can either resign himself to the office, or watch "The Bachelorette" with her. He chose the option that wins him more brownie points (watching "The Bachelorette, of course).

"Bachelorette" Emily Maynard and her daughter are ready to find love. Some bachelors, sadly, spared no expense to make their memorable first impression something that none of us will ever (as hard as we try) forget.

Why wasn't the basic premise of one person dating 25 people enough to keep our attention? Was it planned or did it just result from some early contestants who pushed the boundaries? I'm thinking it's a mix of both, but there are some contestants I blame in particular.
