Jimmy Kimmels Baby Bachelorette parody series returned on Monday night, as a reminder that either kids can be just as manipulative as reality TV contestants, or thatThe Bachelorettecast can be as goofy as children on a play date. Maybe both.
For instance, an obsession with Captain America is something that could reasonably occur in any age group, given the cultural dominance of superheroes. But its Bianca the Baby Bachelorette who had to deal with it this week. She took two of her little suitors on a picnic tea party, only for one of them (Dylan) to show up in a full Cap costume and refuse to talk about anything else. Bianca gave her toy unicorn (the baby version of a rose) to Isley, the other boy on theplay date.
Sorry, Dylan, Bianca said as she eliminated him.
Its okay, Im Captain America! Dylan shouted as he ran around in circles.
Afterward, with only four unicorns for eight boys, Bianca eliminated half the remaining contestants. Everyone seemed to take it in stride (if not quite as chill as Dylan), except for Isley, who made it clear that something was very much not okay. Until next time.

All roads still lead to Paris for England, but the route to the final on July 10 has now become so much more perilous after Roy Hodgsons selection gamble backfired and set his team on course for a potential Euro 2016 quarter-final meeting with France after Slovakia refused to buckle in Saint Etienne.
Six changes to his starting line-up was a bold move by the England manager, but it failed to pay off.
England dominated this game, but their failure to win ensures they progress to the knock-out stage as runners-up in Group B.
A clash with the Group F runners-up in Nice now lies ahead next Monday, but win that, and it will most likely be the hosts at the Stade de France in the quarter-finals. And then the Germans in the semi-finals.
The cost of failure here at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard, the scene of Englands 1998 World Cup defeat against Argentina, looks set to be a heavy one.
England went into the game having won their three previous encounters with Slovakia, enjoying a 4-0 victory at Wembley in the most recent meeting in March 2009.
And having made such wholesale changes to his starting line-up tight hamstrings were the reason for the omissions of Wayne Rooney and Kyle Walker Hodgson knew that only another victory against the Slovaks would prevent criticism of his selection.
The England manager, keen to freshen his team ahead of the knock-out stages, also knew that the route to the final was much less hazardous for the group winners, so his changes were a gamble, despite the fact that each of the new faces were experienced Premier League stars.
This was not a team of novices in Saint Etienne, so Hodgson was justified in having faith in the likes of Jack Wilshere, Ryan Bertrand and Nathaniel Clyne to perform.
But Hodgsons decision to shuffle his pack will have sent a message to Slovakia that England were not taking this game as seriously as they perhaps should, considering the ramifications of finishing first, second or third.
England started well, however, with Jamie Vardy flashing a left foot volley from Clynes cross across the face of the Slovakia goal inside the opening five minutes.

And aside from a Viktor Pecovsky effort moments later, which flew high and wide from 30 yards, England were able to keep Slovakia pinned back inside their own half.
Jordan Henderson, selected ahead of the rested Dele Alli, drove the England midfield with Wilshere struggling to make an impact.
Adam Lallana, who has started all three games so for far in this tournament, was also having an impact and the Liverpool midfielder sparked the move which led to Daniel Sturridge having a close range shot blocked by Peter Pekarik, who was later forced to undergo lengthy treatment after having his nose broken by Bertrands flailing elbow.
Lallana was Englands biggest threat in the early stages, with one shot fired wide from Vardys pass before the pair Lallana teed up Henderson to have a shot blocked.
Slovakia goalkeeper Matus Kozacik then produced two fine saves to keep his team level denying Vardy with his legs after the Leicester City forward had raced onto Hendersons long pass before producing another block from Lallana.
England were knocking on the door, but a combination of dogged Slovakian defending and the unfortunate bounce of the ball kept them searching for the breakthrough as they went in level at the interval.
Englands luck was summed up on 44 minutes when Hendersons perfectly-struck volley was blocked by the head of Jan Durica, who knew nothing about the shot until it hit him in the face.
Greg d**e, the FA chairman, was watching from the stands alongside the Duke of Cambridge just 24 hours after suggesting that only reaching the semi-finals would be enough guarantee Hodgsons future as manager.
This was not the performance an England team heading for the last four. The effort was there, but the quality the crucial element at this level continued to prove elusive.
Still, Slovakia were a huge disappointment, with Marek Hamsik and Vladimir Weiss both offering little tono threat for Jan Kozaks team.

Half-time marked the fourth successive game that England have failed to score a first-half goal and with the second-half producing a low-key start, the chants of Rooney, Rooney from the English supporters.
Hodgson initially turned a deaf ear, but a mix-up between Chris Smalling and Joe Hart, which almost let in Robert Mak to put Slovakia ahead Smallings poor awareness had left Hart exposed raised the stakes and highlighted the threat posed a team who were growing into the game.
Rooney began to prepare himself to enter the field, but as the captain stripped on the sideline, Clyne went close to scoring after being released by Sturridge.
So near, and yet so far once again. England were making the right moves, but they simply could not find the cutting edge.
And eleven minutes into the second-half, Wilshere made way for Rooney. The Arsenal midfielder is a favourite of Hodgsons, but his inability to influence this game highlighted his lack of match sharpness after missing almost the entire Premier League season through injury.
Can he be risked again once England enter the knock-out stages? It is a dilemma that may have been answered for Hodgson in Saint Etienne.
England certainly looked more threatening with Rooney on and when Dele Alli replaced Lallana and Alli was inches away from scoring on 61 minutes when his effort from Hendersons cross was cleared off the line by Martin Skrtel.
Television replays showcased the quality of Skrtels clearance, with the Liverpool centre-half denying a certain goal by flicking out his left leg.
Skrtel and his defensive team-mates were having one of those nights when every block, interception and last-ditch challenge was going their way.
Slovakia were certainly helped by a succession of crosses which were meat-and-drink for their powerful centre-halves, but as the game wore on, they dropped deeper and deeper, yet continued to mount formidable resistance.
England just huffed and puffed, running out of ideas. Sturridge missed a volley from Diers lobbed throughball and Rooney scuffed one wide from 20 yards.
It was all so predictable and straightforward for Slovakia, but the road ahead is now anything but for England.
Breaking news Los Angeles Duarte and Azusa fires 3:30 update
Washington Researchers from the University of Washingtons Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences said they were able to transmit signals from one brain to another over the internet. The study was published in the journal PLOS One.
Andrea Stocco, assistant professor of psychology and a researcher at UWs Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences, and his team used a brain interface between five pairs of participants.
In every couple there was one person who wore a cap connected to an electrocephalography machine (EEG) that recorded brain activity, while the other was wearing a magnetic coil position behind their head.
Researchers said this is the first demonstration that a non-invasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) can be used to allow one human to guess what is on the mind of another human through an interactive question-and-answering paradigm similar to the 20 Questions game. Photo: 3sob
Were making steps into a possible future we could only dream of when we were kids, said Stocco according to the universitys press release.
While in dark rooms, the scientists asked, in 20 rounds, a series of questions that had to be answered by one of the couples participant with a no or a yes, focusing on one of two flashing LED lights on a monitor. The yes answer generated such a strong response that it stimulated the visual cortex and caused the other persons brain to see a flash of a light.
So we have this method for recording brain signals from one person and we transmit these signals to another person. We transmit them using a magnet that sits over the head and can influence brain activity, described UW Senior Darby Lowsey.
These findings are important, since the transfer of information between brains could be used in the medical field and allow people to collaborate on problem-solving. We can create a connection so that what the person feels is exactly what the second person feels as well, said Stocco.
In rooms a mile apart on campus, two participants played the game. The participant wearing a cap connected to an EEG picked an object that the other participant, with the magnetic coil, had to guess by asking questions.
The first one answered the questions by simply looking to a monitor that had LED lights that indicated yes or no. The yes answer sent a signal to the questioner via Internet while the no answer sent none.
The second participant knew the right answer because the brain activity in the first player delivered a signal to his or her electric coil, translated into a visual interruption or flash of light known as a phosphene. However, not all the signs were the same for all the participants.
I consistently saw lines, Stocco said. Some saw lightning bolts, blobs or shapes.
Surprisingly, 72 percent of the time, the participants answered correctly, which means that they interpreted the visual interruption as the answer. The brain is trying to make sense of a signal that normally doesnt exist, Stocco said. The brain is saying, I dont know what this thing is, but I think its a line. If we can control that with more precision, we could make a shape, or an object.

On the same day that Bandcamp announced it"s partnership with Ticketmaster, concert discovery rival Songkick was escalating its legal battle with the ticketing giant. In a new a filing, Songkick is seeking an immediate preliminary injunction against Ticketmaster.
A legal dispute over fan club "presales" has taken a twist after ticketing platform Songkick filed a legal motion accusing Live Nation of retaliating against Songkick for their anti-trust lawsuit.
Last year, Songkick filed a lawsuit against Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster, accusing it of engaging in anti-competitive behavior by pressuring touring artists and concert venues to not work with Songkick`s service. Songkick"s suit centered on the sale of presale tickets, which Ticketmaster requires to be priced at least equal to those on general sale on Ticketmaster"s platform.
Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, Songkick has filed a new motion in the case, alleging that Ticketmaster has retaliated, by demanding that Songkick pay the company as if Ticketmaster had conducted the presales for Songkick"s clients.
According to the WSJ, the motion alleges that a senior Ticketmaster executive admitted that the company made these demands and escalated their anticompetitive conduct in this way due to Songkick"s lawsuit. "This retaliation, if not enjoined, will drive Songkick out of the artist presale ticketing business in the U.S., the motion said.
In a statement Live Nation provided to the WSJ, the company noted that the right to ticket artist presales is explicitly within the scope of its exclusive rights and that it is not obligated to relinquish this right, though it does share up to 8% of tickets with artists as an accommodation.
