Actually, we know what Matt Grant was thinking and agree with him 100 percent. The exits of classless Kelly and immature Ashlee were warranted.

But you gotta admit, Kelly did her absolute best to stay around on the reality show, pulling out the big guns (literally) at the last second.

A lesser Bachelor star, like Brad Womack, may have fallen victim ...

In a time-honored reality TV ploy, Kelly hopes that her breasts will save her from elimination at the hands of Matt Grant on Monday night's The Bachelor.

He seemed like he was attracted to Kelly in the first couple of episodes, but had doubts as to whether they were a good fit. She answered that question for Matt Grant on this week's episode, giving him two definitive reasons. Oooga.

Kelly's plan to impress The Bachelor star with her (admittedly nice, but probably fake) breasts backfired when, in his interview, he simply asked, "Why do that?"

Classic.

The only thing better/worse than Kelly stooping that low was (obviously) Ashlee's parting song. She seemed inconsolable after she was dumped on national TV but hey, why not at least sing inexplicably, shilling for a record deal...

Matt Grant also eliminated Holly, but at least she just had no chemistry going and left without incident. Fame-obsessed, classless Kelly and Ashlee had no intention of going so quietly as their stints on The Bachelor expired Monday night.

These two actually make Shayne Lamas look normal. Or closer to normal.

While American Idol finalists attempted to inspire last night, a trio of other reality shows didn't aim nealtly as high. Their goal, instead? High ratings. Here's are a few recaps...

Hell's Kitchen: We have the ceremonial lighting of the millions of fires and spotlights that festoon the outside of Hell's Kitchen itself, making it as bright as the sun. But there's no time to speculate on their moth problem because we have to get the extremely short introductions... Television Without Pity

The Biggest Loser: On tonight's episode of The Biggest Loser, the final four contestants flew back to the campus from Australia but had to work out without their trainers. First, Rocco DiSpirito returned to the show after talking to everyone's families. He showed them their favorite dishes that they loved to eat before they came to The Biggest Loser and reminded them how unhealthy their eating habits used to be... BuddyTV

Big Brother: After Adam honored his word to James (which he later admitted was probably because he got caught up in James' sob story), Sheila went on a rampage reminiscent of her first week in the house... TV Guide

The theme on last night's American Idol was inspiration. Each finalist chose a tune that was meant to motivate themselves and/or the audience.

When the telecast was over, though, we were left more stunned than inspired. Neither David Cook, Michael Johns nor Brooke White received high marks from the judges... while Kristy Lee Cook basked in their praise. We didn't see that coming.

Take a look at each of the finalists from last night below - clicking on each picture for a larger version - and let us know who you think was the best:

We're just two hours away from American Idol on the East Coast, but here's a spoiler for those who cannot wait another second for information on tonight's show:

Check out the song list planned by each finalist for the evening of inspirational tunes ahead:

Syesha Mercado -- "I Believe" by Fantasia
David Cook - "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace
Carly Smithson -- "The Show Must Go On" by Queen
Brooke White -- "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor

Jason Castro -- "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland

Julianne Hough, the gorgeous two-time winner of Dancing with the Stars, will sing the national anthem at this year's Indianapolis 500.

Hough, of course, won last season's competition with Helio Castroneves - and he just happens to be a two-time Indy 500 winning driver. She also plans to sing a few songs from her debut country album, which will be released May 20.

"I've never been to the race, and it will give me a chance to cheer on my friend and dancing partner, Helio Castroneves," Hough said.

The Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for May 25.

The second season of VH1's I Love New York is coming out on June 3.

From what we understand, the season that saw Tiffany Pollard find love in a man that was Tailor Made for her will be three discs and will retail for $34.98.

Remember: New York Goes to Hollywood will be poisoning coming to television screens soon!

Trista Sutter's husband, Ryan Sutter, is sharing secrets of fatherhood.

"Even when you're about to breastfeed, we get turned on because we're guys and we just see boobs," Ryan Sutter says at the start of a column for MomLogic.com titled "10 Things You Don't Know About Dads."

Well, alright then.

Though Ryan admits to wearing sunglasses to check out "cute 25-year-olds who walk by," he advises: "It's really sexy when you have no makeup on. Honestly, we prefer less makeup and seeing you in casual clothes."

Ryan Sutter also admits that fathers sometimes fake ignorance about "poopy diapers" to "let you discover it" and that "sometimes we feel fat."

[Note to Andy Baldwin and Marla Maples when the time comes]

Trista and Ryan Sutter have an 8-month-old son, Max, and recently told Us Weekly they are trying for another baby. They are just so cute, aren't they?

Former Bachelor star Andy Baldwin and Marla Maples â€" a.k.a. the former Mrs. Donald Trump â€" have a "blooming romance," the Naval officer says.

"We met (last year) and I found her to be very sweet, positive," he said of the 44-year-old Maples. "She's polite, respectful and has a great heart."

Although the two were spotted together in New York City over the holiday season â€" prompting rumors of romance â€" Baldwin said they didn't really get it on until February, when he returned home from an overseas military mission.

Baldwin is in the process of relocating from Hawaii to Washington, D.C. for a new job assignment. He's currently vacationing in Los Angeles, where he's been logging quality time with the California-based Marla Maples.

The two have been spotted frolicking on the beach and arriving arm-in-arm at Monday's taping of another reality show hit, Dancing with the Stars.

Marla Maples and Andy Baldwin: One hot reality TV couple.

"It takes someone special for me to spend time away from my daughter (14-year-old Tiffany), because she's my priority," Maples said.

"There's a lot of sweet, cute people in the world, but it's what's in here," Maples said, gesturing to Baldwin's heart, "that counts."

So is the age difference an obstacle?

"She has the mind, body and energy of a 25-year-old," insisted Baldwin. "When you have a connection with someone, age goes out the window."

As for social worker Tessa Horst â€" to whom he proposed on The Bachelor tenth season finale â€" they called it quits last September.

"I definitely care for her a great deal," said Baldwin, who keeps in touch. "I have no regrets about that experience or the relationship that we had."

Looks like all is well in the land of Blauren.

The lovely Lauren Conrad, Brody Jenner and Brody's BFF Frankie Delgado leave Katsuya in Los Angeles Monday night, going over to S Bar, which was featured on last night's episode of The Hills - the site of LC's 22nd birthday party.

Two more drama-filled episodes of The Hills, back-to-back, on one Monday night. Can it get any better than that? Not if you're a fan of reality TV, peeps.

While Lauren Conrad celebrated her birthday and began to ponder her own life at work without Whitney Port at Teen Vogue, the feud between Spencer Pratt and Stephanie Pratt over the latter's friendship with LC continued to grow.
