Joel David Rifkin, or Joel Rifkin, is an American serial killer convicted of the murder of nine women (although it is believed he killed as many as 17), mostly drug addicted prostitutes, between 1989 and 1993 in New York City. Although Rifkin often hired prostitutes in Brooklyn and Manhattan, he lived in East Meadow, a suburban town on Long Island.
On the season finale of The Bachelor, Jake introduces Tenley and Vienna to his family as he struggles to decide which woman to choose.
After a long very montage showing viewers how far we’ve come, Jake is still where we saw him at the end of the last new episode in St. Lucia: stuck between two women he’s fallen in love with. Before he makes his big choice, however, Jake must bring his family into the equation for their take on Tenley and Vienna.
Tenley is the first to meet the family and she’s got a big advantage since Jake says he brought up a lot of Vienna’s perceived faults with his family early on in their trip. As one might expect, Tenley is a perfect fit with Jake’s family right from the beginning, but for the girl that “dreams in cartoons,” what family wouldn’t love her? Right from the get-go, Tenley is very open and honest about her feelings for Jake and even makes his dad tear up a little bit. Tenley and Jake’s mom share a nice talk and Jake’s mom tells him she is not worried about Tenley at all. “You won a lot of points today,” Jake’s dad tells her at one point (as she makes him cry again). Good luck following that, Vienna.
As Jake prepares to introduce Vienna to his family, he calls a good connection between his other half and his family a “dealbreaker” so of course, at the beginning, everything seems to go wrong for Vienna. She’s hardly her natural outgoing self with his family and seems less than warm with them. Even worse, when she does start talking openly, it’s about how she didn’t get along with the other women in the house and red flags go up left and right for Jake’s family, especially his mom, who is very concerned about Jake finding a wife to get along with his brothers’ wives. However, Vienna slowly but surely warms over Jake’s mom and sister-in-law during their respective sit-downs with her. Jake’s family is honest that they like Tenley more, but also say they see how much Vienna cares about him. It will be interesting to see how much, if at all, this judgment will affect his decision.

This week’s Undercover Boss offered abundant evidence that big businesses inherited by family members can be a bad idea. Dave Rife, a great-grandson of the founder of the White Castle hamburger chain, began the hour in the standard Boss format — by telling his executives that he was going undercover. But instead of a board-room table ringed with attentive business-people, a gaggle of indifferently-attired relatives clomped in to what looked like a hotel ballroom to hear what their brother/nephew/uncle/whatever Dave planned to do. This, along with footage of Dave tooling around in a sporty red car saying he has “a lot of toys,” set the sour tone for this week.
Sure enough, Dave encountered poorly-managed stores staffed (in some cases over-staffed) by low-morale employees. The boss endured the usual Undercover embarrassments: he couldn’t keep up on the hamburger-bun assembly line or the cheese-straightening-on-the-cheeseburger assembly line. We were told Dave ruined Read more…
