The 12th season of The Bachelorette, starring Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher, is upon us. I’m looking forward to the madness and comedy–particularly given that I think we dodged a bullet with this whole situation.
If you have any doubts about ABC‘s choice of Bachelorette, please look up the perceived runner-up’s Snapchat. Annoying-ness quotient: 2,124,756 on a scale of 1-10. Trust me.
Like Eliza Orlins, I met Robyn Ross through Ashley Spivey. I should probably refer to Ashley as The Great Connector, eh?
Robyn has what I consider to be a very cool job. As an editor for TVGuide.com, Robyn gets paid to watch TV, write and tweet about it and interview celebrities.
Fans of The Vampire Diaries, brace yourselves. You might die from jealousy when you see Robyn’s picture with star Ian Somerhalder below.
Without further ado, here’s Robyn.

@RobynRossTVG: I usually self-promote so, there ya go! Also lululemon leggings, because they get me through the week.

I like the show New Girl – cutesy catchphrases and all. But I haven’t been watching this season live, for the most part. Too busy.
Recently though I did catch one episode live: the one where Zooey Deschanel’s Jess wore a fantastic blue coat.
I immediately turned to twitter and asked @Possessionista if she had details of this gorgeous coat.
Duh.
Within minutes, @Possessionista (aka Dana) had told me not just that the coat was from Kate Spade but also where I could get one of the last few available for sale.

Merry Christmas to me. It’s here and I love it!
Sadly, it’s sold out just about everywhere now. Even the not-Jess-worn red version. Try ebay if you’re determined.

Lookie here: the witty and wonderful Dana Weiss has stopped by to be in the Twitter spotlight. Yep, Possessionista is here. I’d jump up and down, but I’m trying to play it cool.
Like Allison Winn Scotch, I bonded with Dana over our mutual affection for Bachelor, Bachelorette* and unadulterated snark.
*Check out her Emily Maynard interview here.
OneChicklette: Your favorite qualities in a love interest
@Possessionista: I’ve been married to the same guy for 10 years, so at this point I’d say he should be funny, do laundry and have the same last name as me.
Every Monday for a few weeks, I’ll give Bachelor Pad 3 two hours & hundreds of tweets. It’s enough to put me in Twitter Jail sometimes.
Do I have to give it two TweetDeck columns also?
It would be great if we could all agree to go with the character-sparing #BP3. Make it happen, friends.

What will Emily subject her dates to and her suitors do tonight? We have already seen her use grocery shopping as a date, and had Muppets involved. Perhaps the whole crew will visit Sesame Place!
These are some of the tweeters I can’t watch Bachelorette without:
Dana aka @Possessionista is not just hilarious, but also helpful. She finds out what Emily is wearing so that if we like it, we can go buy it ourselves.

Of course I follow @AshleySpivey. Sweet Southern gal that she is, Ashley manages to get some snark into her tweets without being mean. That’s a delicate balance. Her blog is fun too.
Dana is cheeky. She finds out what the people on your favorite shows wore as fast as lightning.
And finally, she watches #bachelorpad, #bachelor and #bachelorette as regularly as I do.
Vote for @possessionista for Chicago’s Most Valuable Blogger Awards.
