I have an announcement to make before we get started. The day has finally arrived. Your local grocery store now has “Spring” Oreos on their shelf. Go easy people. We still have a few more months until Easter. But I caution you to ration wisely. After the blue and yellow Oreos are gone, your next chance to have the infamous holiday Oreo line is Halloween. Hey…that’s what I’m here for…to spread joy.
Let me just say that I thoroughly enjoy reading the message boards. The college basketball banter is classic. The occasional opportunity to walk through the brilliant minds of some of our more infamous male readers is fascinating. I respect the anonymous readers right to remain anonymous. Even if they prefer Reality Steve to me. To quote Stoner Sarah, “You are entitled to your opinion.”
But the best part of my day is to click my handy counter that only BFF #2 Pauly and I have access. The numbers continue to rise and I continue to be amazed.

Oh the Women Tell All. Such an interesting episode. Claws come out. Daggers are thrown. FAKE HUGS ALL AROUND!
Let’s start from the very beginning—arriving in LA!
GETTING TO THE STUDIO
Jamie (sister), Jill (friend) and I were picked up by Tracy (Jill’s sister who lives in LA) early Saturday morning. We were bummed that we were going to miss the “F-Bomb” episode with Susan getting kicked off. We were told that they would show that episode early in the morning. Due to our flight schedule, we missed it.
Armed with directions given to me by the audience coordinator, we headed off to WTA. We passed several high rise network television skyscrapers, a Disney building and made our way to a random neighborhood. This is when I started to get nervous. We found the address and the normal looking office building near a Home Depot. Great. I’m being punked.
I get out of the car and wander up to a gated entrance and see three people in all black. Yes. All black is good. They stare at me. I motion for them to come over to the gate.
“Can I help you?”
“Is this where we go for the Women Tell All?” I ask casually.
“Who wants to know?”
This is when I drop the Chris Harrison card. Sorry Chris, but the ABC interns were not letting me in.
“Chris told us to come straight here from the airport. We were unable to make the viewing of Episode 6. We are just going to the taping of the show. Should I call him?” as I reach for my cell phone.
Enter an audience coordinator who confirms I am who I am and she escorts us into the parking lot.
Yes…a parking lot.
We are told to sign some papers…confidentiality agreements…promising our first born if we breathe a word of what we see to anyone. I sign away. Jill and Jamie are reading their documents. I’m busy trying to find out who gets kicked off. I ask all the interns. Surprisingly…they have no idea!
We make friends with a few local girls who tell us that Susan was kicked off and we have a nice conversation with them. Everyone is surprised we are from Texas and came all the way to LA for Women Tell All. We just smile.
And HOUR later, we are herded (literally) 20 people at a time across the street to another random building that could be mistaken for a dentist office. After another HOUR of waiting in that parking lot, we finally start moving in to the building.
All cell phones, cameras and driver’s licenses are confiscated. Luckily, they did not take our candy stash. Metal detectors and security guards make sure we are not armed. We enter the studio and are told by my audience coordinator friend that she has reserved three seats for us in the VIP section.
I think what made them VIP is the fact that we were sitting beside Our Host Chris Harrison’s wife and her posse. Very fun.
IN THE STUDIO
This is when we meet Chunky B. He’s the comedian guy that keeps the audience reaction on target with what the producers need to film. For instance, we learned to clap. We learned to cheer and clap at the same time. We learned to respond in shock without any claps. We learned to whisper to our neighbor and look disgusted. Fun times. His job was to simply keep our spirits up during the four-hour long taping.
ENTER OUR HOST CHRIS HARRISON
Chunky B announces Chris Harrison and he enters the studio with roaring applause. Looking good. No funky ties. Nice. (Our voices were heard!)
I’m going to take this time to say that Chris Harrison is dang funny. I mean DANG funny. Unfortunately, ABC tends to edit out his witty comments. He was ON for the show. And I saw hardly any of his wit on the edited version last night.
Our Host Chris gives me a quick shout out and we are ready to tape the show.
Applause. Applause. Whooping. Hollering.
The girls come out to put on their microphones. Surreal to see them all standing there. Jill quickly punches me and says, “Who is that girl in the green dress?” Exactly. That would be Shiloh (Who?). I’m wondering why that one chick has on a Wilma Flintstone inspired turquoise necklace.
Susan in the Hot Seat
Susan. Susan delivered didn’t she? She did not let us down. She claims she was proud of how she “acted” on the show. Acted on the show. Acted. It’s hard for her to be in the hot seat. Her feelings have not changed for McHottie. Her Mom is upset. Her ex-fiancé is upset. Girls defend her saying it is OK if she wants to be an actress. WHO CARES cries the one girl you had to look up on the ABC website because you don’t remember that her name was Ali D. Susan wells up with tears. Chris Harrison looks concerned but secretly is excited that he has achieved waterworks within the first 2 minutes of taping. YES! Geehand talks about Susan’s ex-fiancé’s picture being up in the house. Susan does not agree or deny. Chris Harrison talks about her Mom throwing her under the bus. Susan’s lip starts quivering.
Ali D pipes up again and says, “I didn’t know Susan very well, but…”
She is IMMEDIATELY interrupted by Jennie saying, “Then you shouldn’t be in this conversation.”
The audience explodes with a unanimous, “OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH” and a couple of “No she didn’t”. No need for Chunky B to tell us how to react to that one.
Minor cat fight as a result of this statement. Verbal arguments back and forth. Susan is crying. Audience members are placing bets. Jennie adjusts her boobs and Ali D is upset that people are confusing her for rotten eggs doctor Ali G.
Our Host Chris Harrison nearly loses control when he gets tough, uses his deep sports casting voice and demands the girls to calm down. Silence is golden he says. ABC edited. We all laughed in the VIP section.
What you didn’t see was 15 minutes of Susan digging herself into a major hole. She would say one thing and then contradict herself the next statement. Being catty girls that they are, the Bachelorettes would call her out. That hole got deeper and deeper. What to do? Say, “I think I’m falling in love with you” to Chris Harrison? Nope. That won’t work. Proclaim I’m a lesbian? That could hurt my career. I know! I’ll pull a Mowana and start crying hysterically! That will work!
Susan bites her lip and pinches herself with a hidden pair of tweezers in her pocket to muster up some actual tears. She throws in a few shoulder shrugs, occasional throat sobs and makes her way back to her seat.
What you didn’t see during the commercial was Susan dramatically (as if in a rose ceremony) running behind the white Roman column into the arms of one lucky intern. We had a perfect view of her crying, being hugged by the lucky intern, makeup people attending to her every need and an escort walking her back to her seat in case she was too traumatized she may faint.
And why she wore jeans with holes in the knee is beyond me.
Stoner Sarah in the Hot Seat
Stoner Sarah is exactly how you think she is. Laid back. So laid back that she is horizontal. Our Host Chris takes us back with a video montage of Stoner Sarah’s noises. Wasn’t that fun? But then, we see some footage that didn’t make the cut. The talking boobs. They are magic, aren’t they? Ouch. That’s gotta hurt. Getting drunk and climbing into a tree and then not remembering the next day. Poor Stoner. They say she had puppy dog love. Stoner says if you know her, she is beyond her years. Jennie says that she is waaaaay immature because she played with her marshmallows on the camping trip. Jennie then gets to sit through a memory video of herself freaking out about bugs, crying on camera that she loves McHottie and saying her best baby voice that she doesn’t know what more she could have done to show him her love.
Bless Her Heart Kristen in the Hot Seat
Our Host Chris advises Kristen that less is more and asks if she thought the lemon teeth would work on McHottie. She genuinely answers YES! Kristen did not bad mouth anyone on the show and the audience fell in love with her charm and innocence. She was a doll! She did have a poem for the audience that did not make the cut. Good decision on ABC’s part. Good decision. Bless her heart. Seriously.
Rotten Eggs Ali G
Nice editing from ABC, huh? We all thought that Ali G. would come out from behind a curtain or something, but she wasn’t there. She declined to join us for the WTA. So we get to sit through all of the uncomfortable comments again through the magic of video montage. I think the word reproduce or reproduction was used about 26 times. Stoner Sarah told some random story about Ali G. and her filthy mouth. I don’t remember the story. I do remember the bleeping of two “f” bombs and one b!tch. Classy.
McHottie to the Hot Seat
Good Lord. That’s all I have to say. By the time McHottie made it to the hot seat, we were probably in our fourth hour. We were tired of clapping. We yearned for real food instead of the jelly beans Jamie snuck in her purse. My chair kept falling off of the bleacher’s edge, so my thighs were aching from leaning so far over to balance the weight on the opposite side of the chair. Chunky B saw that we were fading and told us to give a big round of applause because the good doctor was in the house.
We obliged. Then he came out and a new energy was born in that room. Imagine normal clapping and whooping. Then he turns the corner. You blink and see him for real. That jaw. That height. And finally that smile. I whistled. Jamie got embarrassed and started blushing. Some of us stood. He’s hot.
And a nice guy. Did not bad mouth anyone. Told us all to get over Ali G. Told us that Susan was not fake. Told us that he had a good friend who he wanted to set up with Lemon Teeth Kristen. Told Stoner Sarah that she lost him with the drunk tree climbing incident.
Then I had to close my eyes (because I didn’t have a pillow or blanket) during the blooper reel. McHottie dancing again. No no no no no. Burps. Interns fixing exposed boobs. Booze. Bees. More boobs. Cursing. Our Host Chris Harrison dropping “f” bombs in Paris. Nice.
Mowana vs. Nashville
Our Host Chris tells us that America is rooting for Mowana. Who is he talking to I’m wondering? Is there some pole I’m not aware of? Was this on the Bachelor website and I should have voted?
The girls talk about how they hate Mowana on the video montage and then talk about how sincere she is at Women Tell All. No one had anything bad to say. Interesting. Our Host Chris was floored. ABC was ticked. Their plan to start a Mowana hating session didn’t even get off the ground.
I’m guessing Mowana’s family is in the mob and they threatened that the girls would be sleeping with the fishes if they said anything. I’m just saying.
At this point, Host Chris asks each girl who they think will be picked. Five vote for Mowana. Mowana and her emotional meltdowns.
My vote is Nashville. We shall see.
All about the shame, not the fame,
Lincee
Chris H. is reading Lincee’s blog. We think Sarah by a landslide…it’s all in the editing.
You hit the nail on the head with everything!! I hate we missed your shoutout! We here in Mississippi would love to see you on ABC13! Are they posting the vidoe?
Dang it, I wanted to be the first comment.
Lincee,
I forgot to watch the show last night, but your recap was so good I didn’t even need to watch it. Thanks for the laughs….you’re hilarious.
Can we talk a little more about Susan and her fake Acting 101 crying? She reminded me of a young Susan Lucci–I can totally picture her on a soap opera biting off lines of stilted dialogue and having her eyes fill with tears like every five seconds. I am betting that she has her sights set on The Bachelorette slot. Also, I think next week, someone should take on the task of counting the number of times the word “connection” is used. I noticed in yesterday’s WTA that McHottie mixed it up a little by claiming that he and Mowana have a strong “chemistry.” Five points for McHottie. Lastly, thank you for answering a question I had without me even having to ask–that Chris Harrison is actually married. It’s too bad–think of all the opportunities he’d have to comfort sobbing rejects on their way to the limo. One more question: what did Ali G. mean when she gestured to her chest and said that it was costing her $1,500 a day to be there? Do the laides have to pay their own way to be on the show? Or did she put her boob job on a credit card? Please clarify.
Lincee- You so rock. Thanks for the laughs. Can’t wait to hear from all your boys, men, Jenn, etc.
My vote is for Sarah.
Keepin’ it real. and happy.
Okay, I totally DETEST Susan! Why did ABC edit all her hole-digging out!!?? Not only was she acting, she was acting poorly! She couldn’t even cut it on a soap opera! I can’t talk about her anymore – my blood pressure is rising!!! SUSAN SUCKS – STAY AWAY FROM OUR TV’s!!!
Lincee – did you get any camera time?
Ali G. MAKES that much a day BEING a doctor but NOT when she’s NOT working, as in being on the Bachelor in Paris. That’s what she meant. Get it?
Bless her heart.
“Lastly, thank you for answering a question I had without me even having to ask–that Chris Harrison is actually married. It’s too bad–think of all the opportunities he’d have to comfort sobbing rejects on their way to the limo. “
What does his being married have to do with anything? He can still provide “comfort.”
Lincee, you never dissapoint!
Thanks for all of the behind the scenes info…it was fun to read about the many things we don’t get to see.
Can’t wait to see the final show and read your final recap (for this season anyway).
BTW…my vote is also for Sarah although both of the girls are unique in their own ways.
WE love Lincee in AL and were so sad that they edited the shout out. A couple of questions… At the WTA show had he already picked the girl? They didn’t include the normal video message from the last 2 girls that they usually have. Did someone say that MoHawaka has been on the other girls’ blogs? How do you get to those?
Nashville is going to win. If she doesn’t I will be shocked.
Natalie…go to http://www.myspace.com/moanamarie That is Moana’s myspace. She and some of the others (Susan, Stoner Sarah, and a few others) have myspaces and comment on each others.
Great job Lincee!
I had to laugh at the description of the studio – I felt the same way when I went to see a taping once. The cynical NY-er in me was convinced I was being had.
Forget Susan being the actress – WTH is up with Mowana? Her little speeches are so insincere. She must have paid the girls to talk nice about her.
Hmmm. Or maybe they’re convinced she wasn’t chosen and don’t want to kick her while she’s down.
Interesting thought.
BFF Chris – sorry – my vote’s for Nashville (and gotta tell ya – everyone else I know who watches feels the same way.) Are you trying to set us up? Making us think it’s Mowana instead?
Nice try – but we’re onto you.
It just dawned on me. Only one more recap and then we’re without Lincee for another season. Sniff, sniff.
Anyone else feeling nostalgic?
McHottie’s comment in the preview for Finale “I just wish I could know the other one was going to be alright, but I don’t have that luxury”.
Has to pick Sarah – she’s stable enough to handle it, Moana is definitely questionable after she’s seen her soul in his eyes, and has found herself, blah blah blah ….
I vote for Sarah!
Love the recaps. Thanks for writing weekly.
Lincee, I had to go home to read your recap. I have never laughed so much. You are dead on with your synopsis. Loved you on ABC13 last night. Actually stayed up to watch the news.
You are totally AWESOME and you have a great CONNECTION with yuor fans. The CHEMISTRY is so evident in your recaps. You are the PERFECT recap writer!
We love Lincee! Once again, entertaining, informative, witty, hilarious. Another eleven on a ten point scale!
As for the WTA episode, I am chastened, chagrined, humbled and surprised. Just when I thought that our good Dr. MsDoofus was beyond saving, if for no other reason than he continues to carry Meltdown Mowanna on his roster, he comes out and, damn, he’s just a nice guy. In impossible circumstances, under heavy fire from Chris and the Rejected No Rose For You Gang, he has many opportunities to take an easy shot, and he declines every one. He cleverly extricates himself from every dark alley with undeniable class, a bit of humor, and completely positive, complimentary, gentlemanly good nature.
Darn it, I was so ready to go after him again. Well, there IS Mowanna, but romance is inexplicable.
While all the female contributors have in the past noticed ad nauseum that Dr. McDoofus is “undeniably HOT,” this was the first time, imho, that he behaved and spoke in a way which would earn him points with straight guys over thirty. Despite his youth, lack of life experience, insouciant sloppiness born no doubt from exculpating Hotness, he was a cool guy, clever, positive and completely polite to those poor rejectees, each and every one. While Emily Post might have rolled over in her grave upon seeing his attire, she could not have faulted his behavior or answers in any way.
I so wanted to hate and scorn this guy, maybe only for being an idiot with Meltdown Mowanna and because, as my Hot Wife points out, I am “jealous because he is so Hot.” Is there an Alliance of Hotness out there so that all you hot people have to stick together? I would not know, because I would not qualify for membership.
So, I certainly wish him Tennessee in the Grand Finale, because I think he’s probably too nice a guy to deserve the Life of Misery which awaits him if he errs and picks the wholly unstable Stalker Queen Mowanna. I can no longer revile and scorn him, even for his perceived and much proclaimed Hotness, because this guy is actually a good guy, isn’t he? Darn.
It amazes me how film editors can not let you see things until right up until the end?
So, we love Lincee and Travis is a nice guy-those are my two lessons from this show.
By the way, how many people thought Hot Susan was STILL ACTING???!!! Help! Help! Save us.
Lincee, thanks again for so much humor and good fun with the season of Dr. McHottie. We can never repay you for so much fun, but we can fawn over you, thank you and marvel at your wit and wisdom. We eagerly await your last installment.
Respectfully submitted,
Straight Lawyer John
Great post, as usual-I just wish they had shown you! This season ends just like all the others…Love vs. Lust, “Good” vs. “Evil,” Head vs. Heart. I would like to see him choose Moana. I don’t think I would have been friends with any of those girls in the house either-they’re about the cattiest bunch of lushes they’ve ever had. BUT the Nashville “Celebrities” column said Travis has applied for a job in Nashville, now that his residency is ending. Why wouldn’t he go west if he chose Mo? My money’s on Sarah.
Mowanna grosses me out!!! What did she say? “He should be mine.” and “I’ve never looked into the eyes of another person and seen my own soul looking back at me.” Yuck!! That is like a bad romance novel. There is no way Travis picked her. And did you notice how Travis said, after sending the reject off in the limo, that he wishes he “could know she was going to be o.k.” But he doesn’t get to have that luxury, or something like that. I think if he’d rejected Sarah, he wouldn’t have said that because Sarah would be o.k. Now Mowanna, that’s a different story? Any thoughts? Also, loved Sarah’s comment about Travis’s meat – too funny!
Lincee,
Did you get any camera time? Even a passing shot that we should all go and review our Tivo’ed episode to see? And did you actually meet BFF #1?
Greatings from Canada!!
Thanks for the recaps, they crack my shit up!!
Definately hoping for Nashville!
Bigs hopes for the final recap!
After next week, what are we all going to do with our Tuesdays? Boo hoo…..
Missing Lincee’s wit already…
Thanks for the updates! I have been a fan over many, many seasons!
And good job on the ABC 13 local news! The previews of your interview portrayed you were going to give tons of gossip. They edited your piece down to almost nothing!
I am sooooo glad you pointed out Susan’s jeans – WTF? Big chance on national TV and that’s what you chose to wear? Not that she wasn’t gorgeous and all – but seriously!
I think Ali G was paid by ABC to come on the show and cause a big stir on the first episode to keep people watching. No one would really say those things on national TV…By the way, does anyone know what her real last name is?
LOVE Lincee and the recaps. I’ve been a reader/fan since the Firestone days and have been telling her she’d make it big. Glad it’s finally happening. Congrats!!!
Now I am aware this is a Bachelor website, but as I’ve been reading the posts for the past few weeks, I see there have been many conversations regarding other topics. So I thought I’d throw another one out there. I want to reach as many people as I can and thought with over 100,000 people who enjoy the blog, some of you might read this. I am participating in the Ford NYC Triathlon in July as a member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. The mission for Team in Training is to raise funds which will help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Sadly, I’m sure many of you have been affected by this disease in one way or another and want to see a cure. If you are interested in supporting this cause please visit my website, http://www.active.com/donations/fundraise_public.cfm?key=tntnycPWiener
Your support is greatly appreciated. My apologies in advance if this has taken away the fun of the blog for you, but if I get even 1 donation from this posting, I will consider it worth it.

you can go to http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=entertainment&id=3927619
to see the online version of the news last night.
JIHAN is the hottest girl on that show by FAR!!
The best personality is Mowana as she was skeptical going in and didn’t “fall in love” after two dates but did eventually fall for this guy…she wasn’t fake.
I think McHottie will pick Jihan (Ms. McHottie) for the “most amazing rose ceremony EVER” it’s a “Bachelor Miracle”!
Awesome recap! Just wanted to say I saw you on the news last night here in Houston – you’re famous! Wish we had seen you on the actual show though – would’ve been cool. My husband picks Moana and I think Nashville (for anyone keeping track out there). till next week!
Sounds like you had a great time at the show! Susan…oh Susan. Poor little lamb. There was an insanely long awkward silence when she started a sentence, and waited a long time to say anything. They inserted the silence with lots of bad looks from the girls and awkward glances. Did you notice that at the show? Ha. I live near Overland Park, I wonder if she ever made it out of here.
As for Mowana, I’ve had enough. Everything she says sounds scripted and overly romantic. I think she was secretly taking acting lessons from Susan. Susan must’ve just told her to quote every romantic line she’s ever heard from every movie she’s seen. “I never thought I would look at another person and see my soul looking back.” She gets an F. F! My vote is for Sara, but I’m worried he’ll pick Mowana. Don’t do it McHottie!!!
Thanks for another entertaining recap!
Rock on Lincee!!! Thanks for the recap! It must have been hard as hell keeping all you knew a secret for a week!!!
It looked like Moo-ana was crying in front of Travis’ parents on the preview for the finale. Did I imagine that or did someone else notice it?
Also, is there some rule that prohibits the Bachelor from contacting any of the rejected women if it doesn’t work out with his final choice? Maybe Travis was so excited to attend the WTA because he wanted to get someone’s phone number that he regretted rejecting!
Great recap this week. Four hours to tape that show? And they couldnt give us another hour of footage?
Got to give a holla to Nashville. They finally showed some clips of her with a freakin PERSONALITY!! (The one about liking Stork’s meat) I always knew she had it in her. Just goes to show you that ABC and the interns can make you look as exotic or plain as they want…. Except in Moana’s case. She’s just plain crazy.
I told my wife the other day that I saw my soul when I looked in her eyes. She wasnt impressed…
I was completely floored (as I’m sure was ABC) that there was no Moana-bashing. Are those Bachelorettes kidding me? They claim they can now see that she ‘shows emotion’?!? If by ‘emotion’ they mean ’24 different kinds of stupid’–then okay. Moana me no likey.
Did anyone else notice in Moana’s heartfelt tearful video sentiments to the bachelor that there were NO tears coming from her eyes? I’m sure she’s a good person, just a little emotionally immature. The outtakes did show a different side of her, as it did with Dr. McHottie and Sarah Nashville. I Loved the meat comments – it showed a different side of those two together. I’m anxiously awaiting the outcome of this one and hope the TV show continues.
just heard about this website on the news lastnight! I wanted to remind everyone how they lead us to believe it will be Moana like they do on all the other shows, like Trista and Ryan, remember? They made us believe that other guy Charlie was it..when all along it was Ryan. It will be Sarah all the way!!!!!
Hi Fellow Lincee-aholics,
1) did anyone SEE Lincee on WTA last night? I saw a few girls in red jackets.. but if any of you saw her, please help me out!
2) Seriously, does Moana not realize how freakin deranged she appears with all this on-air crying?? To look someone’s parents in the eye – after you’ve only known their son 6 weeks – and say, “Knowing him has rocked me to my core” – well, you just look crazy, or burdened with serious emotional issues.
3) Lincee, I know you had to cover your eyes, but I loved the outtakes. It made Travis seem so real, and Chris H was so funny. Loved it!
justsomedude – you have ta get a little sniffle behind it when you say cheesy stuff like that to your wife, otherwise there’s absolutely way she will believe you. I found myself rolling my eyes when they replayed Moaner’s clip…ugh.
Yep – Ol’ ABC is trying to throw us for a loop – the kindygarden teacher is a closet freak, “I like your meat”, see and it drove him nuts….lady in public, freak…out of ABC camera guy range.
You ROCK Lincee – you were looking mighty cool on ABC13 last night!!
Yes, I noticed Mowana’s 90th meltdown last night during the finale’s previews.
Please, oh please, Dr. McHottie choose Sensible Sarah!!!!!
And, why were the initial rejects from night one allowed to get face time on national TV, defending Actress Extraordi-NOT Susan, when our own Lincee (let’s hear it for H-town’s IT GIRL) given none whatsoever!!!
A travesty of justice in grand proportions!!!!!
I about DIED when Nashville said she liked doc’s meat. Hysterical. See you can’t judge someone from edited video. I love her. I can’t wait to see her on the final episode and on the “final rose”.
And yes, Chris H. is also hysterical. That show would totally rock if they showed more of his comments, it’s too rigid right now. We need a parody of the Bacholor. That would be fun to watch!
I thought the show itself was pretty boring, but watched all of it so I could be informed when reading your recap. I also watched the channel 13 news here just so I culd see your interview — could they have cut it any shorter?!? Still it was fun to see you ‘in person’, but I’m hoping they’ll run more of it sometime in the future. I have a feeling you had a LOT more to say than just those very few minutes’ worth.
Thanks for the smiles, Lincee!
Here is a link to the Houston story. Just in case it has not been posted…
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=entertainment&id=3927619
Oh, and I think he’ll pick Sarah, but mostly because I’m hoping one of my kind (i.e. not insane single woman) will win.
I saw you Lincee on the news last night! I made sure I stayed up for another 30 minutes. I knew they were talking about our funny and clever Lincee. I don’t know you, but I was proud of you! How exciting!!!
I know everyone dislikes Mowana and thinks she’s a freak, but I like her more than boring average Sarah. I think ABC edit the tape to make her look and seem like she was unstable only because the other girls projected her to be that way due to their rage of jealousy. Those ladies need to work on being less catty and insecure. They all were putting Mowana down to make themselves feel better. People who are insecure do this, especially after being rejected! Haven’t you come across these kinds of women? I have…so unactractive. Hello McFly…that’s why the doctor didn’t give you a rose!
Funny…none of the girls made a big stink about Tara interrupting their one on one which in my opinion is far ruder than Mo kicking it up a knotch on the yacht adventure. Who cares!!! The doctor obviously was enjoying himself, if he didn’t like her he would have found a way to pull back from Mo and hang with the other women. Jehan get over it you are JEALOUS period. I think Susan was the only one who admitted that she was jealous.
I’m sorry someone has to stick up for MO…I think everyone is ganging up on her as if she’s this awful person. I’m sorry I don’t see what Jehan and others were b!tching about and then to say she loves her. PUH-LEASE is that girl for real..she loves MO. Someone slap Jehan and Jennie while you’re at it.
I was shocked when Chris said the majority was pulling for Mowana. Host Chris have you been reading this blog? If you are…the majority is for Sarah.
Lawyer John hit the nail on the head …Sarah definitely is chicken soup, but come to think of it so is McHottie. Houston..we may have a match…lift off to chicken soupville!
I may like Mowana, but I don’t think she would be a good match the McHottie. He wants to the live in the mountains and I don’t see her living in that environment. I see her with someone more well-rounded who likes to surf.
Susan did a poor job in the hot seat. I couldn’t wait for them to move on to the next topic. She was like a little kid caught in a lie. Poor thing couldn’t win the battle…as you would say Lincee “bless her heart”. I’m surprise she didn’t come prepared with a good script written on her palm to get her out of the hot seat. She had to have known she was going to get drilled by the women. The kicker was definitely her saying, “I’m proud of how I ACTED.” oh my…someone please stop her. Open your mouth Susan and kindly stick your foot in it please. Thank you now leave the hot seat.
McHottie did get points last night for being a total gentleman and not making any negative comments about the girls. Kudos…for being respectful to others.
Sorry…didn’t mean to write a novel.
Where are all these Sarah fans coming from all of the sudden? Ugh I’ll take edited crazy over edited pagent princess any day. Travis will dump her within a month. And sorry Tennesse people but Travis has applied for a job at a Colorado hospital.
1:16 file that under “G” for get your own blog. LOL j/k!
Travis applied for a job in Colorado? Where did you hear that? Maybe he applied for more than one job.
i love your blog!!!! you’re hilarious and i must say we share many of the same opinions….so jealous you got to go to WTA – my vote is also for sarah! mofasa is entirely too unstable…we shall see but hopefully nashville will come out on top! i mean i can’t wait to read next weeks blog…i’m sure it will be priceless!
It is interesting that ABC wants us to hate Moana.(big surpise) I bet they were unhappy that all those caty ladies did not hate her.
Channel 13 posted the story on abc13.com. If you want to see it or read it, click here:

Hello 1:24, not trying to be rude or anything because the blog’s all about fun, but do you think (in some crazy plot to actually land a job) our Good Doctor might have applied at a couple of different places? Maybe Nashville and Colorado, perhaps?
Being a resident at Vandy and having completed his coursework at Duke, Dr. McHottness is most likely qualified to land a job at either locale, one would think.
For those of you keeping track at home (Chris H.): I think Sarah’s the girl for Stork and I love that she likes his meat (even though that’s been said a hundred times on this blog already).
Props to Lincee for your awesome insider’s look at the WTA. You are fabulous.
PS: Rock Chalk Jayhawk against the Baylor Bears tonight
Saw you Houston’s ABC 13 News last night! So I decided to check out your website. Great job. Love it!
I rooting for Mowana. I think most of the time opposites attract and certainly to not see TS with Ms. Goodie Goodie from Nashville. Funny but it seems to me that Sarah is the needy type. She is the kinda a girl that revolves her world around her boyfriend.
if you want to see Lincee, you can go to “abc13.com” and go down to Bachelor recap and click to see her interview and pic.
Seriously, after weeks of putting us through two hours of the Bachelor and multiple replays of past seasons, why ABC, why did you make the WTA only one hour?
Also, when Travis and Moana fell off the Sea Doo, did anyone expect them to start yelling for the intern for help?
Lincee-awesome as always!
Thanks for the heads up on the Oreos-yum!
For the millionth time I loved the Sarah meat comment.
And for another millionth time…
BFF #1 Chris, how could you on National TV say, “the majority vote for Moana?!!?” Who in the world did you ask? The one person in Indonesia? Really. That statement was pure comedy in itself. Weren’t you just biting your tongue when you had to read that cue card?! ABC, the trickery will never end, but we the viewers will continue to outthink you!
Can’t wait til next week! Sarah for sure! Hook ‘em!
Lincee is the girl from Sugar Land…the country music group!!!
Please make Princess the next Bachelorette- smart, poised, and beautiful. No wonder he booted her with the rest of the smart women early on.
I just don’t get why they were all so pissed at moana for ‘hogging’ Travis. Hello? They were all just jealous that they didn’t think to jump off the boat with him, or finish the bike race first. Isn’t that why all of them were there? She just played the game better. Good for her. She seems too cool for him. He deserves Miss Vanilla.
Great job Lincee!
-KC in H-town
Lincee…great recap! I was disappointed that we didn’t get to see you on the show. Did you get to find out how many people in the audience read your recaps? I think we would have enjoyed 2 hours of this show instead of the memory lanes. The bloopers and outtakes are MUCH more entertaining than the show we have to suffer through just to catch your jokes. Looking forward to the grand finale (not the surprise of it (yawn) but the “Lincee” take on it…his family looks like they might liven things up a little).
Lincee,
I missed you on the news last night, but I saw the clip on the Channel 13 web site. Way to represent Sugar Land! Sounds like you had a great time at the WTA.
OK, so here is my big question –
Lincee does Chris H really read your recaps and did he really give you a shout out at the WTA taping? Or is that all tongue in cheek?
I hope he chooses Sarah. But if he does, I hope there is a McDonald’s nearby when the Limo takes Mowana away. She might need to go get some McFries to go with her McCries.
WoW…I can’t believe I just now found this blog!..Thanks, Lincee for starting this…I wouldn’t have known if I had not have watched ABC13 news!…
Being a DR.’S wife, I KNOW KNOW KNOW how hard it is when you’re dating and every woman you know is after the same guy!…These girls are nice to your face, but when you walk off, you better duck because there are daggars flinging across the room!…Doesn’t really change much!…lol….
I think he will pick Sarah…It will be interesting to see!
I agree with #1 Jayhawk Fan. Hopefully the good doctor is giving himself more job choices (by applying in more than one location) and managing his career better than his love life.
Moana
Moana
I agree 1:45! I think Mowana is too cool for Travis.
Sugarland, the band, has a Kristen, a Kristian and a Jennifer, none of which look like our lovely Lincee.
Yikes! The addiction is taking over again! Gotta get back to work!
I am shocked that all of you bachelor die-hards have posted comments all these weeks and I’ve seen no sign of the big rumor news… a morning show here in Denver said that ABC is considering suing Dr. Travis for being seen in public several times with his pick. I wish I would have posted weeks ago to tell you all so it didn’t seem so 50/50 but over a month ago they said Nashville Sarah wins.
Please don’t tell me you’re surprised!
P.S. Amy, she’s a nice girl who digs his meat! What’s not to love?
Way to go Lincee! Saw you on KTRK’s news @ 10 PM last night. You ARE famous!
I was hoping for Susan but now hopefully Tennessee.
Tennessee all the way I hope anyways. He might leave both of them and go back to Susan it might happen we will see..
I’m a 50 yr old divorced mom and have been addicted to the show since the original and Lincee’s recaps since her beginning…and just wanted to say thanks Lincee, thanks for letting us live through the fantasy in detail and the pure entertainment of it all!
Just like they mentioned last night…I think all girls (no matter what age!) have that fantasy of the Prince…happily ever after, et al…the show takes us away for a few moments, brings a smile to our faces and let’s us dream…yes, life in fantasyland is a wonderful escape! Reality-wise, the show let’s us know we’re all pretty damn normal (in comparison!) in our basic reactions.
I think it’s also an amazing tool to teach young women important life lessons…BE YOURSELF B/C WHEN YOU’RE A FAKE/PHONY…YOU’RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE BUT YOUR DUMBASS SELF! All it does is show how pathetic and insecure you really are, pretty faces are a dime a dozen, but beautiful confidant women who are real are what we should all strive to become.
Hopefully next week this will prove true if Sarah wins…if not, please disregard this message.
P.S. Go Noles!
P.P.S. TTF from FL Beta!!
Did she just say “dumbass self”?
Just checking…
I dig his meat too and he didn’t pick me.
Did anyone else notice that the good doctor showed unbelieveable poise during the show (at least what they aired!) It was like he was running for office with those answers! I think that he may be a little smarter than previously credited. (The view of one more Straight Guy)
Who says “fork his meat”? Honestly!!
Do you think Sarah forked his meat on the exotic overnight date?
Anonymous at 2:21,
I dig his meat too, and he didn’t pick me or prick me!
Where is all this Moana love coming from? She’s been getting bashed on here for what seems like all season and all of a sudden these people come out defending her? And all this after no one would talk bad about her at the WTA? Something’s not right. Maybe Lincee is right. Maybe Mo has some mob connections we have no idea about. Hell, I’m getting nervous talking about it now…
Wow Snore-ah makes ONE cute (but predictible) comment all season long and everyone thinks she’s a charismatic comedienne? Ohhhhkay.
I personally hope he picks C.None of these. I dont like either of the girls enough to be a cheerleader for them but I dislike Mohawkna less than Snore-ah.
My $.02
Lincee & Reality Steve for Bachelor & Bachelorette!!
Or alternately have “The Bachelor Travis Part 2 – The women in Paris Really Sucked, Let’s go somewhere else and try again”!
I think Sarah really does have a fun personality, but ABC does not want us to see it- I think during the ‘never before seen footage’ you could see her acting up and letting loose- No one says a ‘meat’ comment without having a little fun, playful, not-so-innocent side to her…C’mon- I bet Sarah is a lot better than they make her seem. And Travis is H*O*T— hot!
Way to go Lincee. Been reading you for about …well, many seasons. Only caught the last 45 minutes (the nerve of scheduling child birth classes on MONDAY NIGHTS) so appreciated the recap and sorry we didn’t get to see you
LOVE IT!
Lincee – great recap.
Here’s all the latest rumors from here in Nashville (the biggest small town in America). I have no personal confirmations of any of them.
1. Dr. Stork is actually Dr. Dork. I’ve heard this from several sources who work at Vandy. (I never really believed there was a hot, single doc with half an ounce of personality left in this town.)
2. Sarah & Travis have been seen all over town together.
3. Sarah was seen in town wearing a t-shirt that said “The Rumors Are All True.”
4. If he did choose Sarah – they’ve already called it splitsville. This is supposedly from one of Sarah’s friends.
I did speak to someone who actually met Sarah and said she was really nice.
Anyway – we’ll see next week.
My vote is of course for Nashville.
Love the blog! Love the comments! Love my hot bride for making me read this stuff. (But don’t tell her that.)
Jenni, Jehan, and some of the other girls looked like they were just wining from a bad case of sour grapes.
I’m on Team Nashville – I think he picks Sarah. Simply because I feel like I’m on to ABC/Next/The Intern. On the overnight dates they showed lots of footage of Sarah and McHottie getting close. On the WTA they are now trying to throw us and make us think its Mowana – showing her doing lots of mental breakdowns. Lincee – do we have a count of how many times they’ve showed Mo and Mc in the gondola kissing? I’m saying about 1000! Whomever they show less footage of during the real last episode is going to be the winner.
I wish Mowana all the best and hope her life gets more normal after the show – but for now…GOO Team Nashville!
Once again you are right on !! I love reading the recaps each week and will definitely miss my weekly dose. How about doing a recap for “Grey’s Anatomy ??” That would be awesome !!
It was great seeing you on the news last night… you seemed very “nice” during the interview…you should have let everyone see the “real” you.
Nashville better win or else Mowana and our handsome Dr. need to see a Pyschiatrist together !!
Is anyone else tired of the ‘most amazing rose ceremony ever’ line. I’m surprised that the ABC interns aren’t more creative. I think someone should take them out for some drinks maybe then they will come up with some better marketing phrases.
“i may not know much, but i can drink…” classic tara line. loved it.
Why doesn’t ABC capitalize on the fact that Chris H is actually funny?!?
22.903 seconds bff paul, what do you think of that?
anonymous 2:53,
What are they supposed to say?
“Tune in next week when you will witness another run of the mill rose ceremony for a couple who will probably break up in four months!!”?
It’s called marketing. The intern is too busy making sure they have gondolas ready, accordion players on queue, and kamikaze birds uncaged to worry about that other crap…
Did anyone else catch it last night when McHottie uses one of Susan’s corny lines on the preview for next week – ‘when i’m with you, everything else melts away’? Lord! You’re a Hottie, but geez… get your own lines!
Anonymous B from the Big H
First of all, why did they not rip on Tara and her boozing……
Secondly, anyone who has Tivo, check out the preview at the end of WTA for next week…… He gives Sarah the full hug, but grabs Moana’s elbow instead of wrapping his arms around her……..
Just an observation…… I guess we shall see soon enough!
Go Lincee!
My vote goes out for Lemon Zest Kristen to be the next Bachelorette. I think a genuine and goofy gal like her would be a breath of fresh air compared to the vapid women that they have every season.
Ok, so I know who wins…..I know one of the girls on the show…regardless of numerous confidentiality agreements, she was bursting to tell…in all fairness it was one of those blink twice if it’s Sarah, once if its Moana, kind of things….but once I guessed correctly we openly discussed…..its some good stuff…I got all the other dirt too…and I didn’t have to sign any confidentiality agreements to give away my first born…
And Mary Brooke, I called it last not that Lemon Zest will be the next Bachelorette too…they can find someone else who will ‘love her for her’…
Oh, and BFF #2, Paul, 26.99 seconds……. Jealous?
Anonymous 3:17….. Did she blink once or twice?
I have to admit – I was really trying to figure out where you were sitting in the audience. I thought you may have given us some sort of hand signal or something – but that is okay.
Thanks for the inside scoop on what reallllyyy happened on the show. I have to say I really want Move Over Mowana to win. There is something about Nashville that I don’t trust. As for Oscar winner Suzan she was sooo good last night. I couldn’t stop laughing last night. I really wanted her to say you know what ” I don’t give a F I am a winner and will be on TV realllyyy soon”. As for Mchottie – he doesn’t do anything for me anymore, I see him as a dork now.
Lincee will miss your recaps.
3:17
Why share this information and not tell? Huh? Are you trying to stir up some controversy and have everyone falling over themselves, begging you for the answer? Well, it won’t happen. Why? BC first off, we don’t care and secondly we can wait a week.
And, my bff’s mom’s ex nail tech gets her products from a man who has a daughter who was struck by lightening and read your comment, saw inside of your soul and knows you’re full of sh!t.
3:30
WTH???????
I vote Nashville!! I live in great Music City and both Travis and Sarah have been spotted all over the place….working out at the YMCA, gorcery shopping at Harris Teeter, chilling at Corner Pub and other fine establishments. BUT, they have not actually been spotted together….UNTIL last week, where someone “supposedly” saw the two of them walking Hottie’s dog in the area.
Hmmmmm….could there be a better pick than Nashvile?? NO!!
Ummm. Not that I don’t love me some classic Lincee but is there a reason someone cut and pasted an old Bachelorette Jen recap as a comment???
Ya…why did someone cut and paste lincee’s recap??? Weird
wtf
Anon at 2:41 PM…
Interesting tidbits, but I highly doubt Travis and Sarah have been seen “all over” ANYWHERE together. We all know they have to sign an agreement about not being obvious about the relationship until the “After the Rose” show. I believe they have to arrange their visits to discreet places if they are to meet.
GO SARAH!
3:38- I was soooo wondering that same thing? Why the cut/paste and no comment to follow. Hmmmm….I have plenty of old Lincee’s posts- if anyone wants to see them- let me know and I will add them.
You people are HIGH! Nashville is soooooo boring. “We have sooo much in commom,you are perfect for me,we have sooo much FUN together”. I can’t believe ABC chose her to come on National TV,considering they are all about the ratings. This has got to be the lowest rated bachelor ever. At this pt,don’t care who wins Travis’s heart. My gal is out of the running.
P.S. Lincee-you are hysterrical! GOD love ya….you tell it how it is!
Cute interview with AOL:
http://television.aol.com/news/tv_tattler_celebrity_interviews/bachelor_travis_stork
Wow, you never disappoint us Lincee!! Another great recap! I don’t know about everyone else, but my wife and I had to rewind and watch the episode again because we were so obsessed with our Red-dar. We weren’t able to keep up with what was going on because we spent the entire hour scanning the crowd for you in your red jacket. Then my wife accused me of having a crush on you. I told her to relax that I was a one-woman man. She was convinced that she spotted you on the left side (if you are looking at the stage) of the audience right behind the girls. Was that you????
Few thoughts-
It appears that Stoner Sarah filled Jennie in on her magic boob secret?????
I agree with everyone else on the hair that Travis’s Mom was sporting….. Does anyone remember the Star Wars spoof Space Balls? She looks like the blond version of “Dark Helmet.” Rick Moranis’s character. WEIRD… I wonder how many cans of White Rain Hair Spray she goes through a week…..
Bama Girl…..are you Candice?????
straight guy #3…”i see your schwartz is as big as mine…”
love spaceballs!!!
sorry to disappoint, i’m not candice
But I am a fan of Sarah Nashville!!!
when you click on the link to abc13 (scroll up and find it in the comments) you can click on this little camera and see the whole interview of Lincee on the news.
YAY! I’m glad you went to WTA and thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
As for the seasonal Oreo’s, I’m with you, but you really need to set your sights on the Dove Truffle Egg! It will change your life!
I’m not sure who Dr. Dork is going to pick, but I’m pretty sure that he’s screwed either way. It’s never going to work with either of them. Moanna is clearly unstable and Nashville is too wholesome (I just threw up in my mouth thinking about her wholesomeness). So yeah, Travis (who, by the way, doesn’t really impress me) is screwed. And on another note, Susan is ridiculous.
Was it obvious to anyone else that Jenni was extremely jealous of Susan? I mean come on Jenni….let it go! I was happy when Chris finally called her out on her attitude!
Hi all,
First time e-mailer long time Lincee fan. Been reading re-caps since way back in the day when she was only e-mailing 50 people. I wanted to get in my two cents for the next bachelorette.. how great would Kristen be! Someone real who would make us laugh!
Lincee,
I was (sadly) just turned onto your fabulous recaps this season. I can only say that this Tuesday’s recap is bittersweet to me since I realize this bright spot in my day will soon be coming to an end. Any chance you will recap something else during the bachelor off-season? While it is partly about the show, it is more about the witty recap that I have grown to love. Please let us know if you decide to do another show.
I’m so sad, I don’t remember what happened with Jen Schefft. Whom did she choose? More recaps please!
My vote is for Amercian Idol, Lincee. There are plenty of hilarious moments for you to comment on – I always hide my head in my pillow especially during the worldwide auditions and each season there are definitely plenty of “bless her/his heart” scenes!
As always…thanks for the recap – and bloggers – you make the experience even better. I actually have always liked Moana. She is real and though she has had a few “psycho” moments – haven’t we all girls! I know a few college boyfriends who didn’t want to see me heading down the dorm hallway! But, agree ABC is just editing it in Moana’s favor and Sarah will be big winner.
Hey 1:16pm..you’re not Lincee!! Next time give us the “Reader’s Digest” version.
loved the recap. i dont even care who wins, i just hope it’s dramatic or funny to give lincee some good material for next week.
i recognized shiloh but had to say “who?” to jenni.
im sorry, did she mistake herself for a key candidate in this season? jenni? did you realize that because of you we didn’t need Ali G there? you a crazy bi-atch.
he didn’t pick you, no one thinks you could really be a model, we laughed when you made an a$$ of yourself camping, and no one has that kind of tan right now-wake up call-it’s February.
sorry, that’s my beef. but i’d trade it for Travis’ meat. haha.
mary from dallas
ps-lincee-it was so great to put a face with the name and laughs, you looked awesome! i really thought host chris should’ve brought you in as a sideline judge so you could interrupt with funny comments. awesome as always, can’t wait for next week!
Nashville is going reality! And just in time to fill the loss of Bachelor, here comes Apprentice!
Here’s from yesterday’s paper:
And another Nashvillian on reality TV
This season of NBC’s The Apprentice will include a Nashville real estate company executive, one Charmaine Hunt, 27, of First American Home Warranty.
Charmaine is a native of Kentucky, a Western Kentucky University grad — and one incredibly hot reality TV contestant! You’re HIRED! But I digress.
Charmaine’s NBC bio says she brought multimillion-dollar clients to a San Diego marketing and advertising company before coming to Nashville.
And wouldn’t ya know it, this season of The Apprentice starts at 8 p.m. Feb. 27, which is when the finale starts for ABC’s The Bachelor: Paris, which as you know will have two Nashvillians in it, Vandy ER doc Travis Stork and Green Hills teacher Sarah Stone.
(TiVo, anyone?)
Lincee, Once again well done. I was able to talk with your pal Jill a little prior to the airing, and well she was true to her confidentiality form. I wanted more and you delivered.
Susan, Susan, Susan. It was just not an academy award winning performance this time. The limo scene from last week will have to be the piece they decide her award with. Although, she was amazingly awkward and almost slow,(mentally) in how she responded. I think at one point someone, most likely the kitty Jenny, asked her about her statement of using it as a vehicle to stardome. She responded saying she was sincere, (the sentence before), but whatever vehicle brought her professional happiness. I think she should have just cut to the chase, stopped insulting our intelligence, and said, “well shucks, everyone, I really was out for the exposure, and hey BBF Chris CONSIDER ME for the next bachlorette. Here’s my card.” She might have gardnered some of the 180 degree turn they had for Moana by just showing her true self. Apparently, thats all these women wanted!
Stoner Sarah, her magic boobs are alive, they even talk. McHottie’s face was priceless. She ought to make a small note to herself to remember all her experiences with future boyfriends. I think Mchottie was upset about telling her all his deepest feelings in the tree only to have her forget them. She’ll make it though, she is cool, calm, and ready to party. Just call her mom and see if she can come out after her homework is done.
Jenny, who knew? She seriously had something to say. And then some more, and then some more. It was another unforgetable moment to have BBF Chris, say, STOP! With such force and authority. Who knew that was there, certainly not with what ABC has given us in the past. Chris if you really read all these posts… I knew you were hilarious, put more of your bloopers in, we love you! However, are you not really reading, I think Moana is not the favorite one. Just a thought! I don’t know where I get that from, maybe say oh 80 % of the posts! I love ya, man.
And then there is Booana. I mean seriously, how many times is she going break down in hysterics. I know one thing in the clips for next week, the “he rocked me to my core” comment. I met my husbands parents after having known him as a friend for like 2 1/2 years. I still would never say something so contrived and well…. just plain weird to his dad. Where does she get these totally ridiculous statements. (While crying), ‘I have never looked in to someone else’s eyes and seen my own soul looking back at me’, or some garbage like that. He has to have some intelligence to think through those comments, they arn’t romantic. They are preposterous. I have been married nearly 7 years, if my husband ever said anything like that, I would be laughing, or trying to bite my tongue not to.
I know people like Booana. They seem cool when you first meet them, and guys are totally drawn to them. But once they get in their web, they are eaten alive. Seriously, trapped by their emotional outbursts, and inability to have healthiness in conversation with anyone much less relationship. They end up isolated with them, (because they can’t make or keep good girl relationships to hang with as friends) and worn out with all the drama. For the men I know trapped with them, it was/is not a fun easy life. Hope He thought about that…..
Tenn. I hope she wins. I have some fears from all the pre show talking and analysis. Booana has been favored by ABC, but I am not sure that its going to go Sarah’s way or not. I hope so, I have nothing to say about her but good things.
Until next week, and the most dramatic rose ceremony yet, really. Also, saw your bit on the local news with a heads up from your pal’s mom. You did great and looking forward to your wrap up on the news again next week. Hopefully you will get a deal with ABC or the local news as a result!
Until then, go Sarah! Thanks Lincee.
HEY LINCEE I HAVE A QUESTION!
HEY LINCEE I HAVE A QUESTION!
I don’t recall reading in your recap about the final 2 (Sarah and Moana) — did they give “taped statements” that didn’t air? What happened to that segment of the show? Do you know?
Thanks for the FANTASTIC recap!
——————————————————————————————————————————————–
What I want to know is why Sarah Tennessee’s name was all but absent from TWTA? It just seemes so weird that she wasn’t even mentioned, except for the quick “meat” outtake. Am I alone here???
help me… BFF?
I absolutely LOVE the recaps. I think I have been looking forward to the recaps more than the actual episode! 1st – Jennifer, “Jenny” is a bitter bitch, she’s just upset that she didn’t make it to the final so that she MIGHT have a chance for them to “make hot babies.” I’m definatley not a fan of Mo. Goooooo Sarah!!!!
Lincee-
My entire office had been following your recaps via e-mail since you started (a friend of a friend was forwarding them to us weekly). Unfortunately, our connection left the office in January. Thus, when the new Paris season came out, we didn’t get an e-mail and we felt lost. We tried our best to come up with funny little recaps but they sucked so we stopped. Then….finally…today- February 21st, I found your website/blog! I am so excited b/c (a) we get to read your awesome recaps, (b) it is about time you get some national recognition (not to mention ABC/CH recognition) and (c) well, repeat a! You’re awesome Lincee. I know you will go far and I expect soon you will be on GMA with Diane and Charlie talking about how this all started.
This is the first time I have watched the show. It’s amazing that all the girls (except for one) would marry Travis in an instant. Way before they even got to know him, see if they have anything in common, if there is any chemistry. While Travis didn’t feel that each and every girl was right for him. Duh!! I think that Moana wasn’t sure if she would like him in the beginning because she didn’t know him. That makes sense to me. And as far as Sarah goes? From the very beginning she just knew they were right for each other. Yeah, she’s a psychic. Didn’t you know? She actually knew how Travis felt. Sure, he admires her character, etc. But before the one on one date, he said they were good friends. He was looking to see if there was more. So unless Travis has felt that romantic spark, or whatever he calls the feeling he has with Moana, I don’t seem him picking Sarah. And by the way, I think Sarah will definitely be very upset if she doesn’t get picked. Travis could pick Moana and if months from now it doesn’t work, he can walk two doors down and date Sarah!
Susan is absolutely PAINFUL to watch. Please Hollywood…send her home if she tries anything.
southartgirl,
The problem with Moana is that she went from not being sure about the whole situation, to “seeing her soul in his eyes” and “being rocked to the core” in like two dates. That is the problem I see. If your gonna be ‘hard assed tough chick’ whose not caught up in it, you cant make a switch to ‘psycho crying chick’.
You can be one or the other, not both…
I have now learned my lesson. I will never stray….
I followed someone’s suggestion and looked at reality steve’s site. I’m sorry, as Lincee would say, “Bless his heart”…he is really trying a but too much for me.
Not being a cookie fan my vice in life is jelly belly’s….orange sherbet and top banana…together in the same bite…yum! That’ll keep your heart racing all day as you sit on the bleachers at a swim meet! Love that sugar!
Thank you Lincee for all of the LOL moments I have had at my computer this season. We should all be paying for the endorphin rush we get from your witty comments, it is keeping us all healthier….if we could only get you a code on the insurance forms….
Moana is killing me with the crying – what the hell is this? She really has some emotional issues.
My vote is for Sarah!
If y’all want to see Lincee on the news, use the following link.
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=entertainment&id=3927619#
Way to go Lincee!
~C in OKC
It’s Sarah-
Moana’s MySpace page has ‘IRIS’ (goo goo dolls) for the song.
or… it’s all a trick! Moana wins!
(iris):
“And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight
And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive”
I Love Sarah Stone! (aka Nashville) Isn’t that weird that if you added an -r to her last name you would get a totally different character? Anyway, I will lose all faith in the fake TV dating system if Sarah loses to Mowana. EW.
Thanks, anonymous 10:37!
The Bachelor girls must read Lincee’s blog. Susan posted a comment on Stoner Sarah’s myspace page asking her if she has magic boobs.
hummm…..

I would love for it to be Sarah, but moana looked so beautiful at “the Final Rose” ceremony. I have found that if you look at the previews for the last show when the girls are talking to Travis after he’s given the ring/said goodbye to one of them, you can tell who wins.You have to look closely, tho.
Hey, did y’all know that Susan, Sarah from Canada, Kristen, Jehan and others all have MySpace sites?
thanks for filling in some blanks about susan’s interview. it’s unreal they can take a 4 hour taping and make it an hour….i am sure we missed a lot of juicy stuff! GO NASHVILLE! i’ll literally have a stroke if he chooses moWana….

Now THAT is funny.
What a great writer you are! You have a marvelous sense of humor and I laughed as I read your blog. I enjoyed it immensely!

I wish I had known about this blog before today….it’s hilarious!!! My vote is definitely on Sarah!
Lincee,
I am a new reader and have enjoyed reading your comments about the show! You are too funny!!! I have to agree with you about what pole Chris H was looking at. I was thinking, who the heck has he been talking to? Nobody wants Moana to win! Go Sarah!!!!
Hey Lincee,
The recap was aweseome, but I expect nothing less from you!! It was great living in Houston, b/c I got to see your little segment on ABC..I think it should have been longer…but oh well!! Thanks for all of the laughs this season! I am looking forward to the finale show…My husband and I are rooting for Sarah. Oh yeah I agree with other bloggers..whay was there nothing said about Sarah on TWTA show?? My husband made the same comment. Just wondering if you had any insight, I thought maybe they cut that part from the show. Thanks again!! Can’t wait until the next season!
your blog is awesome!!!
keep up the good work!
Good Lord, for his sake I hope he chooses Sarah. Moana seems to me to be the type of gal that would stalk him (& probably will anyway) when he breaks up with her. She seems a little too neurotic & emotionally unstable for such a stable, down to earth guy. Plus remember her family? Ugh, they were a fun bunch. Sarah, on the other hand, seems perfect for him. But I agree with one of the other posters – it’s head vs. heart (or maybe it’s head vs. another part of the body!)
Can’t wait to see next week! Thanks Lincee for the great & entertaining updates. It’s a nice reality break from my two little monsters!
good call, 10:02 anon. That made me laugh aloud!!! It’s true!!
Totally random, but… has anyone ever noticed that Moana looks a bit like Janet from Three’s Company???
hey I don’t see this as competition to reality Steve… I read you both… both entertaining…
anyway, I think Susan would definitely do well on a soap opera… she certainly has the face, and tears for it… Moana could probably make it on the soaps too…
I believe Nashville will get the rose… But I dislike her so much, I would love it if Moana got it… but she won’t. But it doesn’t even matter since it won’t last anyway.
Lincee…
You are famous in our eyes!!
Saw you on the news after the show and now realize you are a neighbor. You were great!!!
I always host a Bachelor Finale party..any chance you could make it? Would love to have you, your sister, and friend Jill join us.
Let me know..
Party in Sugar Land..
help me… BFF?
Best Friends Forever – BFF
it’s moana. travis will give nashville a high five and that will be that.
McHottie is a nice guy and emotionally naive or diabolic. Think about it. You can’t reject a person who says things like “you complete me” at the very end. He must be thinking that Nashville is very centered and well-balanced and can handle losing. Can’t see it lasting with Mo Wana Complete Myself though.
Several friends have told me they have run into Sarah around here in Nashville in addition to several reported sightings of McHottie and Sarah together. I think it’s going to end up being a “let’s date and see where this takes us” thing. Boring but true.
Also, I met someone who works at the Vandy ER and she said it’s crazy over there. That it’s really busy, this has all gone to McHottie’s head, it’s affecting his work, etc.
First, I love Lincee and her blog…been reading it for a while now (a lot of the time liking it better than the actual show)
I also wanted to thank PW for posting the info about the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I have a family friend who has recently gone into remission after a long battle with leukemia and his prognosis looks good! I am a big supporter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. PW please look for my donation!
5 days until the finale!
I can’t believe your shout out was not taped. I was so looking forward to seeing you on the show! Or at least showing you in the audience . . .I wonder why there were no questions from the audience this time . . this could have been your big chance. Bummer.
I hope Sara wins, why shouldn’t a down to earth girl with good morals and values win his heart.
Alabama is behind her all the way.
Definitely, definitely, definitely Moana. Or Nashville.
Not sure if the rumors have it made its way across the US but about three weeks ago, a local radio station in Denver said McHottie has been seen out in public with his pick. I won’t ruin it for you (especially b/c we’re so close to the end), but I’m surprised ABC is letting that fly!
Lincee- you are awesome- I don’t know you, but your recaps are the best thing about the Bachelor! Thanks for entertaining the 100,000+ of us!
I went back last night and rewatched the last episode (mostly to see if I could spot Lincee now that I know what she looks like – Go Linee!). I came to the following conclusion. Travis is going to pick Mo. It is all in the body language when you go back and watch. He is cuddling with Mo all the time and with Nashville, the chemistry just doesn’t seem to be there. The clincher though was when he said that Nashville would be perfect for him and then extolled her virtues. It so reminded me of when on the Bachelorette (can’t even remember her name – was stood up by bachelor Bob) she said that the hot guy from Texas would be perfect for her and she chose the guy that you knew was totally wrong for her with the fear of commitment from New York. It was like Travis is trying to talk himself into choosing Nashville.
I like Nashville and hope he picks her, but if I had to put money on it, I would go with Mo!
host Chris? where are you? why haven’t you posted lately?
Lincee – Have your numbers skyrocketed since you were featured on the news? I watched the news piece on the internet and they listed your website. Give us a numbers update please.
Straight Lawyer John – do you have a big trial? only one posting this week? I like your insight.
Why, OH Why hasn’t anyone stated the fact that Sarah is just not very pretty? From what it sounds like here.. with the TN connections and all; that McHottie will do the politically correct thing and pick Nashv. then break up w/ her shortly and move on w/ his big famous life. It’s a no-brainer. Neither of them are the “connection” that he was hoping for, right? It’s obvious. Lets get on to next season…This one is over for me.
PS.. Way to go Lincee if youre still reading all of these comments!
Could someone please post the links to the supposed contestants’ myspace pages? Thanks!

I swear I’m not a stalker or anything…my daughter has a myspace and the deal with her is that I keep very involved or she doesn’t get to have one. I happened upon Moana’s myspace long before this blog found it and I know it is her because of all the personal messages from friends as opposed to fans on there. There are others that I did not reference but they are easy to find once you get going on there. It will be interesting to see what they say when the winner, Sarah, is announced. Or Moana. ???
But I think Sarah.
I agree. They always edit it to make you believe it’s one or the other (they are trying to make it out to be muwana)…..I believe it will be sarah….at least, I hope it is…
Hello to all the girls from the Bachelor who are reading this blog. We know you are. We don’t care.
Mo, sorry you made a fool of yourself on National and archived TV. And he still didn’t pick you.
Jehan(D), you are beautiful.
Susan, read the blog.
Kristen, you are hilarious. Stay true to you.
Sarah Canada, don’t light up in the U.S. baby- it ain’t legal here yet.
Tara, don’t drink and drive. Please.
Sarah Tenn., we think you win.
I don’t watch this show every season and I know editing can pull tricks on everyone. I, for some reason, think it will be Moana and the reason why is that when they were in Italy he made a comment regarding something to the effect it would be the first time he was taking a “girlfriend” somewhere like this. Does anyone else remember that comment or any other response to this? We just don’t really know what goes on between them do we but it sure is fun to speculate!
allensoccermom????
allen, TX who are you?
To the previous comment at 2:20 pm – looks are not all that counts. Yes she is probably the least pretty one this season, but as the old saying goes – its whats on the inside that counts.
beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone
jk
Love the comments Lincee, but I have to vote for my girl Moana (aside from the video breakdowns, she gets a little nutty then) she is awesome. No one liked her at first because she wouldn’t swoon for McHottie, she had to like him on her own time, a batchelor first. I just can’t root for Sarah because watching them kiss is offensive, like watching a brother and sister… she’s getting the boot!!
Nashville may not be drop dead gorgeous, but she is very attractive, and definitely has the typical wholesome southern girl look. No, she’s not the girl from high school with the big boobs and bleach-blonde hair who’s now on a pro-basketball dance team, but she’s definitely a cute girl, the kind quality men end up marrying, even if an exotic Moana catches their eye for awhile.
I don’t know about Sarah being the least pretty one–she may not be a blond bombshell, but some of those girls from the very beginning(you know, the one’s we didn’t even remember when they showed them at the WTA) weren’t all that attractive either.
Wait, Sarah aint the hottest girl this season but she’s not chopped liver either. Take it from one, of the many, straight guys on here.
Did you ladies not see her in the bikini in the floating tub? Heckuva bod on her. She’s got what we call in the biz a butterface. But she is better than average looking in the face.
Please dont make me explain…
Yes, it is funny how all the girls have become Moana fans. They’ve obviously forgotten that she’s a nutjob. Guess they didn’t watch the episode in Venice.
I agree with an earlier poster. It is all in the body language. You can tell he has the hots for Mowana- he always has his hands all over her. Sara is adorable but just a friend. That is my 2 cents.
P.S. I’m a soccer mom too
Hey Lincee – seriously – what exactly was Host Chris’ shout out to you?
justsomedude–I totally disagree that Sarah is a butterface- she is really cute! She does have quite a bod- but the ‘butterface’ term should only be used on the very deserved people! and we know who they are out there…
hey i checked out those myspace websites and they’re real. how else could they have gotten those pictures up. They have other pics with their friends posted on their sites as well. my vote is for moana. I think she ROCKS!!!!
Lincee,
I am so disappointed we didn’t get to see you on TV. I really wanted them to showcase you and all your fame!! I think i watched the WTA episode more hoping for a spot of you in the audience then for the actual show itself! I was very upset when it was over and we didn’t get to see you!!!
Anyway, it was great to get a recap of the live version. I am so jealous you got to go! I would have been reality star struck! Maybe next bachelor season you can auction off a trip for one of your fans to go with you to the WTA episode! I would totally put in for that!
Thanks for the laughs!
Susie
Moana–NOOOOOO!!!!!!
Sarah–YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys dont be gullible… How would those pics get to myspace if its were fake? Those pics are posted on ABC’s website, and all over the internet! Its super easy to fake a myspace site.
there are totally people out there who want moana to get the final rose…and i am one of them!
Moana–BOO!

Nancy… is your last name really Stank Ho?
I’m just saying…
Moana biscuit? Me wanna biscuit!
Pass the butter and jam.
Thanks for the great recaps – your e-mails and now your website are my favorite part of the show!
anon 6:04…
pics. of bachelorettes with their best friends and others are not all over the internet like you say. the myspaces are real. don’t be so cynical. we’ll sic the grammar po-po or somesuch on you.
I agree it is easy to fake a myspace, BUT there are too many of the girls real friends on it.
First, let me tell you a little something about SHILOH…a friend of a friend knows her and said SHE was only on the show for the potential “fame”. She says she is an “advertising manager”… homegirl works at Nordstrom’s. Second, Jennie “my talent is being a swimsuit model” is clearly bitter and crazy. Host Chris asked her ten times why she is so angry… seriously, this chick needs some help. I must add that Stoner handled herself pretty well – I am SURE she saw how childish she was on the videos and wanted to redeem herself. Good for her.
29.688! beat that bff paul!!
A few of you have asked what exactly Chris H.’s shout out said, and someone on here is also still questioning the authenticity of Chris really being Chris. I can clear it up for ya. Lincee and Chris spoke on the phone a few times and e-mailed before we got out to CA. Lincee and I even did a very junior high three way call with him. We were even 7th grade giggly afterwards. It was so fun. When we all got seated in the studio and Chunky B finished the warm up, Chris H. came out and got straight to it. “Hey thanks everyone for coming to TWA. Now where is Lincee?” It was great! I was the super proud friend who was obnoxiously pointing at Lincee while she remained classy and just cutely waved. Chris continued to tell everyone about Lincee’s website and how funny, witty, etc. it is. He even gave the web address for it. It didn’t stop there though because then Chunky B. brought up the microphone to her so she could say the website again for all to hear. I was so excited I may have tee teed just a little. Then Chris came up to say hi and chit chat a little bit. It was great! I think that fills everyone in a little more. Lincee’s too modest to full out brag. I’m not!!! It was so fun and Lincee was great. Oh yeah, and she had fans come meet her when they realized who she was. Lincee’s famous!!!!!
Travis’ diary on the ABC site about the exotic dates was kind of interesting. He didn’t seem to say too much about Mohawka, but went on and on about Sarah. Kind of different from the standard theory that ABC is making it look like he’ll choose Mohawka to throw us off track and then pick Sarah.
“The exotic dates this week were amazing. It was so wonderful to experience a beautiful place with a person you really care about. Meeting Moana in Venice was so romantic. I love that we share so much and that we continuously learn from one another. It’s great to see that we are on the same page about everything.
Traveling to Vienna with Sarah was awesome. I was so excited to see her again. Whenever I’m with Sarah, I feel like I’m with my best friend. On our date, I found that not only am I attracted to this woman, but I cherish and respect everything she says. To hear her say that she is the woman for me without saying a bad word about anyone else made me realize that if I hadn’t met her, I would be missing a part of myself.”
Totally agree that Sarah could handle it if she was dumped. But Moana? She’ll freak. I noticed the comment too about Travis not wanting to worry that one was okay.
Susan has been killing me since the beginning. I haven’t trusted her the entire time. I heard some rumor that she got a job on Passions. Has anyone else heard that?
I just have to say that Travis should pick Sarah (Tennessee). Not only does she seem fun (even though ABC has probably edited out much of that) she has conducted herself in a classy way. Travis should pick her because at least she is stable and could be happy and not have to cry every 5 seconds.
For the record: I love Lincee, I love the Bachelor, I love Tennesarah, I don’t really like Mohawka’s hair and on and on and on . . .
However, for those of you keeping track at home, this just in about Saturday’s Big Game (8 PM CST on ESPN).
Game Day showdown looms: Kansas and Texas each will take 11-2 league records into Saturday’s 8 p.m. battle in Austin, Texas. UT hung onto a piece of first place by topping Kansas State, 65-64, Wednesday at KSU.
Saturday’s KU-UT showdown will be part of ESPN’s College Game Day broadcast. Announcers Jay Bilas, Rece Davis, Andy Katz and Digger Phelps will be on hand as studio hosts all day Saturday.
I mean, it doesn’t get much more exciting than that, does it?
PS: I also think it’s great that Chris H. gave Lincee the shoutout at the taping. Too bad ABC didn’t show it! You’re great, Lincee. Thanks for all the laughs!
Travis seemed much more eloquent on the Women Tell All. Too bad ABC previously edited out any comments he made that didn’t have the words “amazing,” “connection” or “awesome” in them, in the previous shows. Did anyone notice on the Women Tell All that Travis was repeatedly referred to as “the doctor?” Please, if other people were on the show, they wouldn’t be called “the exterminator” or whatever. Stupid.
Thanks for your recaps, Lincee!
Red Box-
I just did it for, like, 20 minutes.
Beat that!!
Hey, has anyone found the myspace blogs that the girls have–they’re pretty entertaining!
Michelle in Birmingham Shout Out-
You crack me up-”The Doctor!” By that criteria, I was thinking that Charlie O’Connell could have been “The Sort of Jobless Guy with a TV Famous Brother.” Andrew Firestone could have been “The Sort of Jobless San Francisco Gay Guy Whose Job is being a Firestone.”
Lawyers never want to be known as “The Lawyer.” Most often, we try to conceal it, usually masquerading as “The Exterminator” or some other worthy occupation. Doctors are the worst. My cousin will not even refer to himself as a “doctor.” He says, “I’m a PHYSICIAN.” Oh, help us.
Respectfully tickled,
Straight Lawyer John
slj–yes, but I have noticed that many pretentious lawyers(of which you are obviously not one:)) never refer to themselves as plain old lawyers, but as “attorneys.” Am I right?
Taylor Hicks–Boo!
Anon. 12:13 (looks like a Bible verse, doesn’t it? From the Book of Anonymous)- Yes, you are right, but a lot of this “pretention” comes from the old meaning (not pretentious) or etymology (ooh, pretentious) of “attorney”, which used to have a meaning more shaded towards “someone appointed to act for another.” By this definition, many persons not practicing law and not lawyers can be attorneys-heck, if you dog sit for us I’ll leave you with a power of attorney to make decisions for the dogs if something happens, including incurring big vet bills. That would make you an “attorney” LOL, but not a lawyer.
Technically, lawyers referring to themselves as “attorneys” should also say “at Law” meaning that they are state licensed to do so and can also enter the courts and other awful places in the legal system for you.
By the way, you should generally not be too worried about “attorneys.” The person to worry about says “I’m a lawyer” or worse, “I’m just a Country Lawyer.” When you hear that, you are, as we say in Texas, “fixin’ to get your ass kicked.”
I agree with you about “attorney” though-sounds pretentious even though it’s pretty accurate and historically correct.
Because I walk our Beagles most days on the empty golf course very early in the morning, I prefer to claim “dog walker.” That way, people ask me about dogs instead of for free legal advice concerning things I know absolutely nada, zip, less than nothing, about. If that fails, I claim “Rescue Diver” (according to PADI) or “Pilot.” (still have license) WAY better than saying “Oh please, don’t hate me,” and having a Mohawka Meltdown moment.
Respectfully,
SLJ
#1 Jayhawk fan,
The anticipation is intense isn’t it?! BRING IT ON KU! Go Horns!
SLJ-
.
You’ve got some serious funnies today
And, just catchin’ up…I love the posts that say, it’s definitely Moana, or Nashville, she’s got a 50/50 chance. (Anon 12:32 & 12:43b) Very funny
.
#1 fan, those were some great comments for the girls! They are so reading this blog, and perhaps they will reveal their “anonymous” selves after Monday. You know they all ran home and typed in Lincee’s website after BFF Chris bragged on her
.
Thanks for the giggles everyone!
Straight Lawyer John,
You have the BEST comments on here. Your Anon. 12:13 sure did look like a Bible verse! It is just a joy to read your humor as well as Lincee’s recaps all in one place!
I love your definitions of “attorney” versus “lawyer” and the fact that you claim to be neither … just to be a dog walker. Classic stuff!!
By the way, is there any way you could advise me with a lawsuit regarding some dog-bite litigagion? Only kidding. Thanks for the afternoon humor.
Respectfully,
#1 Jayhawk Fan
Hi Jenn!!
Again, consider it broughten!
Rock chalk, baby . . . I smell a Big XII Championship coming home to Lawrence!

What is up with that Anonymous 12:44PM?? I know that this is a Bachelor Blog and I have been very careful not to bring up anything not relating to the bachelor, BUT Taylor Hicks is a buddy of mine from College and I think he is doing really well on American Idol. I don’t know if he is going to go all the way and win, but he is getting the exposure that is going to take him to the big time! While I am off the subject of the Bachelor, WAR EAGLE!! I have been holding that in for a while…..
straight guy # 3!
I love that your college buddy’s with Taylor Hicks. He rocks! We are voting for him to go all the way…if he can beat Katherine McPhee. Those two for the finals for sure. Anyway, lovin’ Taylor up here in NC.
and go Heels!
and congrats Sarah!
and yea Lincee!
and thanks SLJohn. very funny.
and hi again girls of The Bachelor.
Ok, here’s the deal great blog, but what was Chris saying about the Mowana poll. Bloggers have lost there mind she nutzo. Ok,
I know that 9 times out of ten they won’t get married much less be together after the show has aired but if ABC thinks by letting the good McHottie choose his emotionally distraught girl this will bring in more watchers nope I don’t think so. Maybe…..oh just maybe we should watch Mowana not get picked and then see her be the next Bachelorette. Oh, my goodness that would be the show to watch. See that’s kind of mix ABC viewers are looking for emotional havoc and love..Lincee keep blogging on… Shout out to Grey’s fans last week show left me hanging any spoilers on this weeks show? Can’t wait.
What is not to love about Straight Lawyer John?!? Hey hot wife- hope he keeps you laughing at home too. A guy with a witty sense of humor is a catch in my book, oh, and the fact that he is a lawyer, not too shabby…
HATE,HATE,HATE- how Grey’s ended last Sunday- talk about no ‘connection’ — Ugh. C’mon- not Meredith and George- yes, he is cute- blah, blah- but nooooo……we love, love, love McDreamy!
Lincee, I love your posts! I only recently stumbled across them through some posters on the ABC Bachelor message board. Having a behind-the-scenes view of the WTA was fantastic.
I am definitely rooting for Sarah to win.
I had no idea that Chris Harrison was such a funny guy. All we ever get to see of him on the show is the scripted, stiff stuff.
It didn’t surprise me that Susan dug herself into a hole. I wish they’d shown that, just for the entertainment value. Her hysterical crying is right out of a cheesy soap opera.
As for the other girls: Tara looked sauced (per usual), Sarah B looked stoned (per usual; no wonder she was so laid back), and Jennifer needed to calm down- though it was good entertainment to see her try to start a catfight.
Hey. Is there any way you could post your recaps from other Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons? I’ve only just encountered your blog, and I love it!
12:44pm – Go to Tick Tock post and play the red square game. Then you will understand the game in all it’s glory.
Love, love love Taylor Hicks!He’s the one because they put him last. Same with the women. The girl they put last is the best.
Maybe I should go to that blog.
Hey, lets not get off subject here, this blog is on the “Bachelor” not A.I… We all Love Taylor’s enthusiasm but this isnt the place to talk about it…unless Lincee brings it up! We all need to remember this is her domaine!
The hits just keep on comin’! Great work, Lincee!
Ditto to Straight Lawyer John’s comments on Dr. McH. He carried himself quite well in the WTA episode.
I must disagree with most folks here about Hot Susan. I think she had a hell of a lot of potential and wasn’t as fake as people think (and ABC made her out to be) Damn her parents for sowing the seeds of doubt!
Can’t wait for your last recap, Lincee!
Well, like many of you I”m getting off the subject. Here are 2 predictions (one on topic, one off): 1) Sara will win (big surprise), and 2) On Grey’s Anatomy, after Meredith has broken George’s heart and that’s all over and done with, she and McDreamy will begin to get back together when BAM! his wife will be pregnant!! I’m hoping it doesn’t happen, but TV shows have a way of being predictable, and that’s what I think could very likely happen. Wouldn’t that just drive us crazy!
slj…love ya!!!!
Hi Lincee,
I remember from your past e-mails/website postings that you did the College Program at Disney. I did one as well the fall of 2000. When did you go and where did you work?
OK, has anyone received an email from a Danielle Barba about looking for an architect to be the next Bachelor? My husband (an architect) received one and fwded it to me so we could laugh about the poor girl that learns the truth a/b architects! Who thinks this is legit, and who thinks some tarty is looking for a few good phone numbers?
No way you did 20 minutes. I can’t break 10 seconds…..
Taylor Hicks ROCKS! The music rocks his soul (but for real, not like Moaner and that core BS) and his heart is truly in it (again, unlike Moaner). Can’t wait to hear more from him.
CS out
It seems like I’ve read about 1000 of these posts & the majority seem to rag on Moaner. The best case I saw was made by Anon 1:16/Tue….Mo signed on with a goal and a plan & she worked it.She realized the Doc was an outdoors guy & took a ballsy approach with the yacht trick & the bike race and she got his attention; while the 23 losers sat around and bitched,whined & moaned[no pun].Look where she is now & look where they are.
Unfortunately the trolley stops Mon. & if all the rumors prove true she’s history.Just as well, she’d be too much of a challenge for the Doc + ther’s no way he could deal with her family. As the married folks in the crowd know it IS a package deal……you don’t just get the prince/princess…you have to take the frogs too.
Neatsy clean Nashville & the Doc match up better; probably will have a good shot @ “Generic Couple of the Year.” Game over!!
Now Lincee..how do you follow this act? You’re top of the charts on the Net, Tv and probably the silver screen soon. You can’ t leave the “cult” haging too long.
What do you think about an American Idol/Apprentice Sandwich?
I’ll stay tuned. Thanx for the memories!!
bff Paulie-
I hate that darn red box. I cannot do it longer than shall we say, in the teens. It drives me beyond crazy and I don’t see how you do it for as long as you do. I am now a fan of yours as well.
Taylor Hicks–love that he’s a B’ham guy, love that he’s an Auburn man, but saw him for the first time Wednesday night and couldn’t believe Simon liked him so much. However, so many people seem to be big fans, so I must be missing something. Guess I’ll have to see him again.
The Bachelor is almost over. I’ll have to sit through an excrutiating 2 hours just so that I can see, in the last 5 minutes, what I already know is going to happen. He’ll pick Sarah from Tennessee and Moana will be sent packing (or sent to the nearest Walgreens for a refill on her Lexapro). Dr. McHottie and Sarah will go back to TN and since they live so close together, will get cans w/ string and talk everyday and watch their love grow! Puke. . bring back Dr. Rotting Eggs!! She should be the next Bachelorette. .I’m telling ya! THAT would make for some good TV.
Lincee, you’re awesome! So very funny. . while some of us “bloggers” may try to match your wit, we all come in a distant second! Congrats on your new-found fame. Those of us from the email days can always say, “we ‘knew’ her when!”
Off topic – George and Mer kissing was like watching a brother and sister kissing. Ewwwwwww.
Topic? After this I vote for a Grey’s recap or an Apprentice recap. I don’t even watch the Apprentice, but there is a Baylor grad on it. So, I guess I will tune in this season for as long as she is on…
Come on! Tell me you people haven’t gone and gotten a life this weekend. This lack of posting is really disappointing.

haven’t you realized that this is an excuse for all of us to slack off at work? I’m only on here this weekend because I’ve slacked off too much! You peeps are FUNny!!
Mowana is too unstable…all that crying and the “poor me” attitude. No man wants to deal with that. Her family is freakishly religious too…big red flag there. The Dr should pick Nashville. She’s right down the street..or around the corner…or a mile away…or wherever the *#@& she lives.
Hello? Anyone out there? SLJ? Straight guys? (1, 85, whoever…), BFF#2? Bueller?
Holla… I’m here
BFF #1 Jayhawk fan,
Well, 80-55, and that’s all I’ll say about that.
Where are you!? Still in despair over the loss last night? Did you see me on TV? I was wearing burnt orange and yellin really loud.
At least you have The Bachelor tomorrow night to help cheer you up!! Go Horns! Go Sarah! Go Travis! Go BFF Chris! (and lets hope the intern picked a better tie for the finale!) And Go Lincee! Can’t wait for Tuesday
.
Mohawka didnt just spell “HOLA”
HoLLa ,, did she?
Yes, but she was saying “holler” not “hola”.
Except it is “Holla” like she said. You know “Holla back girl”…
Y’all are TOO funny!
Ok bff #2 Paul -
I tried your little game…. Apparently I lack something in the coordination department. My average is about 5.72 seconds, which I acheived after trying it about 20 times. I was never very good at Space Invaders either.
I have been a captive watcher. My spouse insists I watch this show with her. I must say the e-mails were funny and I’m glad there is a
web-site now. Ok. From the male perspective:
1) Travis is poor. Did you see his house?
2) He says “awesome” far too many times. I thought he was from TN.
3) When Ally G. said her clock was ticking etc…I think the male
would say “Boy, you’re crazy…what are you doing later?”
4) Moana would make most males run
as fast as they could…
5) Who cares if she’s “acting”?
6) The Mom visit does provide a window to the future…poor Sarah!
Travis is definitely thinking: Ewww…maybe she’s got Dad’s genes.
7) I’m sorry but I’ve got ask. After the overnight date, why no play-by-play? I think it’s completely reasonable to expect some details. In the real world, it’s a really tacky thought but this dude needs to tell us who buttered his biscuit, right?
(my wife hit me for this one)
That’s all…
I think it’s Sarah, too.
Check your TIVOs!! I missed Grey’s last night, and was looking at my To DO list, and Bachelor Paris wasn’t on there for tonight, even though I have a season pass… I manually programmed it. Public service announcement in case TIVO isn’t recognizing the finale for some reason>>>
Hallier! Has anybody seen the new Tyler Perry movie “Madea’s Family Reunion”? It is freaking hilarious and just a great movie.
Looking so forward to tonight and Lincee’s recap tomorrow. woo-hoo!
Oh, and everybody’s comments on the show and on Lincee’s recap too…love ya mean it.
Belli, doctors in residence are poor as crap. They are paying off tonso med school loans and don’t make the big bucks until LATER in life. He also is such a guy’s guy that he would NOT have like a major bach pad all decorated up and whatnot until he gets him a woman to help, you know? He prob. is waiting 1) to afford it and 2) to make sure his woman is pleased. That’s what I’m thinkin’.
Also, I live in N’ville, and the real-estate boom, like everywhere else that’s not depressed, has definitely hit. That house, in the area he lives, could easily cost $350,000, and with paying off med school, that’s not too shabby.
BFF Jenn, your Longhorns whipped my beloved Jayhawks Saturday. No ifs, ands, or buts. We played like a very young and inexperienced team and there’s nothing else to say, really, except for perhaps a rematch in the Big XII tournament will better showcase our abilities . . . who knows? I am still reeling from the loss. Kudos to you and your team.
I am excited about the Bachelor finale tonight and for Lincee’s recap tomorrow . . . maybe that will help take some of the pain away from the a$$-kicking KU got this weekend. Happy Monday to all!
#1 Jayhawk Fan,
.
Gracious in defeat, another reason why we’re BFFs! Bring on the rematch
7:35am-thanks for the TIVO heads up! I checked my To Do list and Bachelor was mysteriously missing…
Another TIVO moment to note-BWalters Special this Wed, 10/9c, features our favorites-McDreamy & our naked bongo playing hottie-McConaughey.
I just received this email and I gotta say, I believe it!
“A friend at work told me that she heard from one of our magazine reps that The Bachelor fell in love with one of the producers while preparing for filming of the show and told the show that as a result he didn’t want to go on with filming because he was really in love with this woman. The show told him that he was contractually liable and that he had to do it. He agreed under one condition, that they make the producer one of the girls in the show. So they did – and it’s Moana!”
Girls of the Bachelor Paris…
Read Lincee’s hilarious blog and read the comments but do not post anonynously por favor. Oh wait, that’s spanish, but whate’r, we’ll see tonight.
It’s so Sarah.
Off topic — since there are so many Grey’s fans that read this blog, thought you might find this interesting, if you haven’t stumbled across it already:

Hey #1 fan. I saw Madea’s Family Reunion and loved it. Diary of a Mad Black Woman was better but Reunion was great too! It’s so nice to see a movie where the person that says they’re a Christian is normal. I loved it when Joe said, “They don’t know who they’re messin with, we Baptists, we’ll tear this church up!” I’m Baptist and thought that was hilarious.
Well, tonight is the night. I can’t wait. Lincee, I saw your picture on the website for the news and your are beautiful. I sure do enjoy your wit.
SLJ- How old are you sir? You sound like a pup but said you were a pilot in the 70′s. I was born in 72.
Jayhawk & Jenn- Ya’ll are very nice to each other. You should stay friends when the season is over.
Go Sarah!
Missy
anon 11:51 you have me worried b/c I’m pulling for Sarah. I do remember flying through Chicago a couple of years ago the weekend before the Jen Bachelorette finale. Because the airport had the magazines early, I found out the outcome. Well, if we’re disappointed tonight, at least it’s almost March madness!!! (that’s for you Jenn & #1 Jayhalk. Jenn enjoy good seasons! I’m with the Jayhalk, my team has had it’s ups and downs this yr too. But there’s nothing like NCAA tourney time)
Thanks anonymous 1:51. I love Grey’s Anatomy.
This is a shout out for Chris H. in Date Movie – he did a great job on his segment – and he got to say more than – This is the final rose for tonight!
WHOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! We know it’s Sarah now!!! It had to be since the previews made it seem like Sarah got dumped!!!!! Yippee!!!!!
I feel sorry for Mowana but going on the show is a gamble. Travis was required to act like each one was the one until the rose ceremony. You know that going in. Doctors don’t marry girls with tattoos.
yeah!!!!!!!!!! I love Sarah….Mowana is right – The nice girls always win!
Yea for Sarah! Question…does anyone know who sang that song that played during the montage of Sarah and Travis at the end? My husband is going crazy trying to figure it out…
Also, I want to know if they are still together! Anyone know?
I’m sorry but the “ring-on-a-necklace” was an all time low. Any one…anyone…
I am DYING for Lincee’s perspective!
yea, get engaged or hold up on the necklace, but don’t her wear it on her freaking neck!
> the “ring-on-a-necklace” was an all time low.
Naw…they went on what, five or six dates before the end of the show!! Come on! They don’t even know each other yet. And he had to do something with that big ol’ rock. I think she was expecting that, somehow.
I dunno, I was really feeling it with him and Moana tonight, weirdly. I have not liked her this whole time, and still didn’t; bleah. Can’t stand all that Cali-speak she dishes out. But I felt their “amazing connection,” and still didn’t feel it b/w him and Sarah. Is it all in the editing or what?? Or is he just another Bachelor guy who’s ultimately purposely choosing someone he won’t end up with?
yea, either get engaged or hold off on the ring, but don’t make her wear it around her freaking neck!
I agree that the ring on the necklace was pure CHEESE!!! I just saw Travis’ sister on the 10:00 news here in Dallas. Yea Sarah!!!
I knew he would pick Nashville. She fits into his world. Moana was much too hip for him. I really felt sorry for her when she got into the limo. Wonder if she will ever give her heart away again.
I don’t know about you all, but I just didn’t get the feeling that Travis has feelings for Sarah. I’m thinking he chose her as the “lesser of two evils” if you will. Did he ever tell her her loved her or even cared for her?
I just wonder if one day he plans to be like, “Gimme back your necklace… okay, now, uh, pretend like you don’t know I have it… okay, will you marry me?”
I felt bad for Mo as well, I really did. But I also had a moment there when she was quiet that I was hoping they had removed all sharp objects from the room before he broke up with her.
Felt sorry for Mo? Give me a break…she totally disrespected his parents when they asked her questions…….. and in the limo………….who wants to be an actress? I’m thinkin she is giving ol Susan a run for her money…..we will see Mo on daytime tv for sure.
GO NASHVILLE
Of course Mo will give her heart away again. Haven’t we all had our hearts broken at least once before the “right” one? I sure did!
for those of you wondering about “Ali G”
Go here for more info (something I stumbled upon):
http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_bachelor_8/2006_Jan_12_egg_doctor_tshirts
funny stuff!
One word that Mo OVERused = INTENSE, it describes their relationship/connection pre-breakup and describes her emotional pain post-breakup, anyone else catch that?
Did I miss something or is there no “After the Rose” special show this time?
Yeah, it was a really abrupt ending. Also, I definitely saw more chemistry between he and Sarah last night, but even more of it between him and Moana b/c, obviously, they wanted us to think she was the front-runner.
I felt like the editing went back and forth between Sarah and Moana last night–well, it leaned toward Moana, so I went back and forth. But I knew for sure it was Sarah when Travis said that he wished he could be sure that the girl he was sending home would be okay, but he didn’t have that luxury. If he had been sending home Sarah, he would have been able to make sure she was okay!
hello–
i post all the time but i’m usually anon. =)
i thought we were going to have another “jenn” ending. i wasn’t all that sure hw would pick either until he actually said, “i’m choosing sarah.”
moana’s breakdown in the limo was classic, my husband and i were cracking up! poor little crazy.
and before i get a bunch of moana people saying how horrible it is to make fun of her broken heart (give me a break!), she chose to put herself out there on national TV, and talk like a love sick hippie. who says “you rock me to the core”? REALLY!!!???
Did anyone else hear the birds chirping and dogs barking when Travis’ sister asked Moana what she liked about him? It was classic TV!!!!! They sat there looking at one another like…will this child please say something, anything. Hello did you hear me, Moana? You, yeah, you, I’m talking to you (waving hands in front of her face)!!! Yoo-hoo, anybody in there? Or, are you just taking up space.
Then the total meltdown in the limo!!!! I was rolling!!!!!
And, did anyone else notice that Moana was almost flashing poor Chris H. as she got our of the limo? They blurred the top of her dress – that was not gonna get you a rose, sweetie!!!! She kept tugging on the too tight at the top dress. Cute dress – ill fitting!!
What was with all the crying? Travis’ sister, his mom, Mohawka, his mom again, then his sister . . . was it that emotional? Maybe the jet lag from the flight to Paris made them extremely delirious.
Hooray Tennesarah and the 2.2 carat diamond hanging from her neck! (what was that about?!)
Missy in Texas, I hope Jenn and I can remain BFFs after the season, too.
Oh yes, and how cute are Travis’ nieces? O M G–adorable!
so the ring on the necklace thing. did travis totally steal that from sex and the city or what? that might have been cool when carrie did it 4 years ago, but not so much anymore. that was pretty weak.
Did Travis’ mom require intern assistance to get her hair through the door of the chateau? Wow.
Did anyone else find it weird how Sarah kept saying, ‘you’re perfect for me. i’m able to check off all my requirements in my Find-a-man Checklist?” They’re both good on paper for each other, but dullsville in person.
-KC in H-town
So stoked. No, wait, that’s a Mo word. I’m so excited for little Sarah Tennessee and her granny panties that were so showing in the germie Chuck E. Cheese scene with the A-dorable neices.
I just could not believe that Mo would not freaking ANSWER the questions about Travis. Question:
“What do you see in our son?”
“He accepts me.”
“He rocks me to the core.”
“I look at him and see my own soul staring back at me.”
Can somebody say self-absorbed, narscisistic, unhealthy, needy ho?
I mean what girl in their right mind would not tell the parents how fabola their own son is…that was too sick to watch. And it wasn’t editing. She really needs to get some help and get right healthy.
is that mohawk/peacock thing going on with mowanna’s hair a hairpiece? i don’t like that style but i have been trying to just make my hair do that and i still can’t get it to work? does she stick a coke can or something under there for the height? i’m not trying to be mean but am just totally perplexed.
i agree–very abrupt ending. gave me the feeling they must already be broken up. will they be on any of the late night shows tonight?
I think someone asked about the song they played last night. This was on ABC’s website.
“All Kinds” from Dan Wilson’s upcoming album, to be released later this year by Warner Bros. Records.
Did anyone notice how moana can go from thoughtful and “deep” to ice cold b*$&# in a split second? Maybe her true personality isn’t all that “mysterious.” She did it with Travis’ father when she cocked an attitude and disrespectfully interrupted him, then to Travis when he confronted her in the kitchen and again with snide comments in front of the limo. Go back to Cali!

i thought Moana was rude to the sister when she said, “I don’t feel comfortable answering that right now.”
Social skills lacking
O.K., so we knew he would pick Tennessee, but what is up with that completely, horribly awful, just WRONG, ugly brown, over the ears knit HAT “the Doctor” had on??!!!! It looked some horrible genetic experiment gone bad cross between hip hop and homeless.
Can Sarah help him with this stuff? (and tie knots?)
Help! Help!
Can’t wait for Lincee’s last installment.
Respectfully,
SLJ
Do we get a final recap from Lincee???
Travis and Sarah may well not be together still, but to those who say that he chose the lesser of two evils and didn’t really like either girl, I submit that it stands to reason that if that were the case, he would have chosen Moano regardless, b/c it’s alot easier to break up with someone who lives across the country, than someone who lives 1/2 mile from you.
Did anyone count how many times Mo said “I can’t find the words to articulate it….” throughout the show?
I think he anti-social antics with his family was the final nail in her coffin.
Yay Sarah!!!!
I’m sad that there is no After the rose special. I realize I am a loser.
Where are you Lincee? I’m ready (and sad) for the last recap.
Travis and Teacher go together like white bread and margarine.
one word I got from the entire show…intense…I heard it 40,528 times from mowlawna. She “deep” alright, so deep no one has a clue what she’s talking about. And to answer sis’s question: here are some Sunday school answers for you: we have so much fun together, we laugh all the time, he makes me a better person, I feel complete with him…try one of those next time and we can forgo the crickets chirping in the background!
Well, wearing a ring around your neck works for Victoria Newman (for all of you Y&R fans out there)! Would I do it? Hell no!!
I think that BFF #1 Host Chris has taken control of the editing room so that he can give Lincee some good stuff to talk about! I can’t wait to read what she has to say about last night!! I was laughing out loud A LOT!
Did anyone else hear Mowana’s heart beating when Dr. McHottie hugged her after dumping her? Nice placement of the mic, intern of the year!!!
Can I get an “Amen” out there?
I dont know anyone who was rooting for Moana, or as I like to call her “the devil”. She was completely horrible last night, and did anyone notice how there were NO TEARS in the limo. Lots of heavy breathing (show my breasts, show my breasts… oops! Is that a nipple?) but no actual tears.
Sarah is the horse I have been betting on since the beginning and I am so happy for her. I like that he didnt propose, these two seem real to me. They seem like they are going to build a relationship on this. And you know what if it doesnt work out, she got an AWESOME dress and a 2.2 carat flawless diamond out of the deal, all thanks to the loving producers at ABC. I would put that gem into a real pendant for myself and wear it every day with pride if travis dumped me!!! You cant find jewelry like that
Lincee… give us our update?
Can ABC get her a job so that she doesnt have to do this part time?
You are so right on…I just wiped the tears away from my eyes laughing at your website…you rock! Maybe you should be the next Bachelorette?
you think Moana should be the next bachelorette? Please dont let ABC do that…
I would bring Trish back first!
Has anyone seen or heard any scoop about whether or not Travis and Sarah are still together? ABC is killing me here with no “After the Rose”. Doesn’t look too good for them…
