And now I will answer.
Let me start off by saying you guys rock. I am going to do my best to answer all your questions (either now or later) and give you the 411 on a very “entertaining” subject…me!
I’m working on the “About Me” section. Based on your questions, it’s going to include a brief history, how I started writing the recap and how I met up with Our Host Chris Harrison.
Some of your questions were worthy of entire posts, so I’m saving those for a rainy day. Great job guys! But others were short, sweet and to the point. The answers are below. Enjoy and try to stay awake.
Red: Would you ever consider a meet and greet?
Lincee: Indubitably.
Tammy: Who do you want DD to pick?
Lincee: Great question. My knee jerk reaction is, “Who cares?” But I know that’s not what you want to hear. I have to say I am not emotionally attached to anyone at this point. I see tons of chemistry with Graham and a soft heart for Jesse. I think after tonight and seeing her reaction with their families (which is a huge thing to her) I’ll have a better assessment.
Spring: Have you ever thought of writing a book?
Kelly: When are you going to quit your day job and become a writer?
Lincee: Not until the 100th person suggested a write a book, did I ever think about writing a book. Now it’s all I think about. I’ve done my research and the first thing the publisher/book person asks is, “What would your book be about?” Exactly. I’m a Seinfeld blogger…my posts are about nothing. But if Jerry can make a show about nothing, surely I can write a book about nothing.
DJ, Erin Pie, Jennee, MA Mom from Cali, Legallyblondemel: Have you ever thought about applying for the Bachelorette?
Lincee: Heavens no.
Michelle: How long does it take you to write your recaps?
Lincee: About 45 minutes to an hour.
Stacy: Have you recapped every season?
Lincee: I started with Firestone.
Be a Pepper, Drink a Dr Pepper: What is the best season of the Bachelor:
Lincee: I loved Firestone and Bob and Lieutenant Andy
Breanne: Why did you recap The Hills season finale?
Lincee: Because watching that show made me die a little on the inside. But thanks for the support.
Bobbie, Heather, Marcella: Are you going to post old seasons of the Bachelor in an archive?
Lincee: Currently working on that as we speak.
Married with Eyes: If you could date any Bachelor, who would it be? What other shows do you watch? Has any whack job every tried to track you down?
Lincee: Matthew Hickl…the dude Meredith didn’t pick because, clearly, she’s was on crack. I like The Office, So You Think You Can Dance, Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, 30 Rock and I’m pretty sure the new 90210 when it comes on this fall. No whack job has ever tracked me down. I did speak at church on Sunday about the mission trip to Costa Rica I went on. About three people came up to me afterwards and asked if I was “that girl” who wrote the Bachelor recaps. But nothing whack jobish.
Marcella: Do you think Tina Fabulous was really that fabulous? Or was it all hype?
Lincee: I have to say Marc…I think Tina Fabulous was indeed fabulous.
Erin Pie: Is webMAN Jason a LOVE interest?
Lincee: Jason is one of the smartest, most reliable, just-do-it-and-don’t-complain-about-it people I know. I do love him for all he has done to help me. Is it romantic? He wishes. But seriously. We’re tight. He knows a lot about me and that can be dangerous when you have as much power as he does with this website. Not a love LOVE interest, but he is important to me. And by the way…I love how you people try to cyber-hook me up with both Jason and Chance. Adorable!
Jess: It seems like one point during a trip to NYC you were going to meet up with a male reader of this site on the Empire State Building. Did that happen or have I lost my mind?
Lincee: Yes…Straight Guy #1 and I were going to be in NYC at the same time. Being sarcastic, I wrote to everyone that we were going to meet on top of the ESB. It was a joke. Sarcasm is hard to read via the web. We have become fast Facebook friends though. I give him dating advice. He doesn’t take it. You know…typical never-met-before-but-pretend-we-know-each-other stuff.
Katie: Have you ever won a contest or any prize from a random drawing?
Lincee: Great question! Boring answer. No.
s2c: Have you ever tried cooking green beans with oregano?
Lincee: Disgusting.
BachFan: Will you please nominate webMAN to be the next Bachelor?
Lincee: Absolutely. But then you would have nothing to read when you are bored because Jason would shut this site down with one push of a button. And then he’d go after my job. And then he’d arrange to have my electricity and water cut off. And then when all hope was gone, he’d forgive me because he found true love in three weeks on a crazy reality show. I’ll get back to you on that one.
Tracy: I’d like to know if you’d be interested in meeting my brother-in-law? I don’t know fur sure but I don’t think he is particularly fond of green beans.
Lincee: Have his people contact my people and we’ll see how it goes.
The Original C$: Do you sing in the bathroom? Was Jazzercise a lifestlye choice or passing fad? Are there any other vegetables you find atrocious besides green beans? Do you like Pina Coloadas or getting caught in the rain?
Lincee: Fabulous questions. Of course. Jazzercise is my life. I pretty much stay away from anything green. I’m not much in to health food…I am in to champagne.
Sheree: Does everyone in your family read your blog? Does your employer know about your blog and do you edit yourself because of that?
Lincee: My Mum and sister Jamie read pretty much daily. Mum will print out and read to Mimi, my 93-year-old grandmother about my trips abroad. Or my random nothingness. She’s not one to care about The Bachelorette. My Dad doesn’t read, but is filled in during breakfast by my Mum’s constant chatter. My boss does know about the blog and although he doesn’t read it, his sweet wife does and her dear friend. Do I edit? No need really. As we were doing the HUET training, I kept saying, “Oh…this is going on the website. Gonna need you to sign that waiver boss!” He’s cool with it.
Leslie, Original C$, Long time fan: I love the word ________ [fill in the blank]
Lincee: Not quite sure how this got started, but I love to say broth, afghan and speaking in both New Jersey and French accents.
Maureen: What was your first concert? What would you like to hear God say when you reach the pearly gates?
Lincee: Neil McCoy. He performed at the Miss Hallsville pageant. So sad, I know.
God: Well done my good and faithful servant. NOW GET IN HERE AND LET’S PARTY! I’ve got your membership to Heavenly Blockbusters right here. I suggest you start with David and Goliath. Great action and adventure story. You’ve got some family and friends waiting for you at your new mansion. Just over the hilltop. Welcome home.
Some Guy: I’d love to see the Great Debate take another spin on the blog.
Lincee: Agreed. I think I’ll debate with Jamie. Should be fun.
Susie-KC: Will you please blog my life? Because then it would sound interesting.
Lincee: I’m on a plane right now. We’ll have you dancing on the ceiling in no time.
That’s about it for the small requests. The bigger ones will be on posts to come. Thanks for the interest! Again…you guys simply rock!
Cajun’s not a bad accent to try either.
Thanks Lincee, what a good sport you are! Keep writing!
Thanks Lincee, can’t wait for future posts….or for tonight’s show….more tears…I cry almost everytime Deanna cries- dorky me- and I cry when I read your recaps…although those tears are from laughing so hard-YOU rock!) Keep it coming girlie!
Interesting side note…read TV Guide’s description of the finale…
“In a season retrospective, DeAnna and her two finalists discuss the challenges of the contest and the rose ceremony that ended it. Also: British Bachelor Matt Grant (2008) and his intended, Shayne Lamas, give an update on their relationship.”
Me thinks this does not end well…
You are SUCH a good sport, Lincee. And yes, you’ve got to work on the book. You could make it “chick lit” and have a romantic plot (fiction or not), but most of the humor will come from your musings on “nothing.” Or, Lincee’s guide to business travel around the world. Or a philosophical treatise on why hundreds of people log on each day, at least once, to a blog about a ridiculous tv show. The possibilities are endless. Looking forward to tonight! #4 DJ, that does not sound promising AT ALL.
Thank you so much for sharing with us. I can’t wait to read more of the indepth answers you have for us. I agree with a book about “nothing”…those were my thoughts exactly. Any true Seinfeld fan and Lincee fan of course would love it and recommend to those who do not know how great you are.
By the way, did everyone see David Beckham’s new advertisement that went up at Macy’s in San Francisco? That will have to be my new background and/or screensaver!!!!
Can not wait for tonight…I think that she is going to send creepy Jeremy home!
I like getting caught in the rain… You should write a book about a girl who goes on a reality show to find love. You’ve got the practice! And maybe she could fall in love with the intern in the end, since he was the one coming up with all of the romantic ideas. Just make sure you thank me in there somewhere!
No, in all honesty, thanks for the recaps and the blogs! You’re a great writer and I enjoy all of your posts, even the “who cares,” ones! Maybe especially those!
#5…Oh I know! Could be scary. And veerrrryyyyyy entertaining.
Lincee-Should you ever find yourself in Alaska…I will personally organize a meet and greet for you. Heck, it’s not entirely out of the question…we do have oil here. Quite a bit of it from what I hear! : )
this is totally off subject, but I just read that matt grant and shayne are no longer living together in her condo. He said they are still together, but that they needed space to keep the “spark” alive! Can you believe that. He also mentioned that he needed to get his own friends, career, etc. It is so totally over! I bet he got sick of her “high maintenance ways”
I am currently watching the Bachlorette and I think the Pizza man thought I was nuts b/c I am here at the house alone and I answered the door in tears… Ty and Cutie Patootie, Jason were on. Ty with Jason makes me cry… TOO CUTE! I have a 3 year old and I can’t imagine the heartbreak when you have to say “Goodbye.”
I have a question. I am sure it has been asked and answered previously, but I haven’t seen it…. Do the bachelors/bachelorettes have to sign a waiver or something saying that they will not date anyone they have kicked off? LIke could she ever date Graham again if it did not work out with the others?
I’ve never read comments before, so I don’t know if this has been posted, but I googled Graham Bunn and he has a website — looks like he has some modeling hopes. If this has already been posted and discussed, ignore this
I think it’s something like grahambunn.com.
Lincee, you mentioned Seinfeld – my all time favorite. I wish we had been online back in the day so we could have blogged about “man hands,” the “Soup Nazi,” “Delores, “Art Vandelay,” “King of the Castle” and “they’re real and they’re Spectacular”! Don’t worry about telling us too much about yourself – as you can tell – we all love to hear it! I bet you would have a ton of support for a book!
#10 – how funny – I got Star Pizza (a Houston fave) tonight and I couldn’t take my eyes off the TV when the guy came to the door.
I think Blinky is going to have a tough time choosing a man at the Home Depot pedestal since she let Graham go. It seems like she really had the hots for him. You know we always like the ones that play hard to get! Dumb but true!
Lincee…..I heart you. Looking forward to tomorrow (barring any electronic malfunction) since I missed the show tonight.
I was at a restaurant tonight that had battered deep fried green beans on the menu. I did NOT try them.
So very cute, Lincee. This Jersey girl has a vegetable question…did you know…um…that green beans, uhhhh…are really supposed to be called “stringbeans”? Becawse that is how we say it in Jersey.
Also, did you ever watch Pushing Daisies. If you haven’t you might want to and wonder if you would consider doing a recap with a thread when it returns. It was quirky yet fun and lots of interesting visuals and story lines. Just curious, I think you would do a great job.
Where are all the bach’ette fans? We have been talking on the last bach recap page….
#15 I love Pushing Daisies, very fun…don’t know that we need Lincee for that one!
Jesse, labels all his stuff, are you kidding me??! Do you think one night he was experimenting with some kind of cocaine and the new labeler he got at Christmas?? Would he label a spot for DD? lol
#15 – Organza – My parents are from Maine & they call them string beans too! I’ve never heard anyone else say that.
Last night must have been a tough call for DD after being so heart buhroken by HTCBrad. If that train wreck had not happened, I think she may have stuck with Graham until the end. But because of Brad, she let fear rule over love! She LOVES Graham and has not fallen in love with any of the other guys. They are great guys but she LOVES Graham. I really do believe he started liking her back and definitely could not deny the chemistry (which is so important!) So maybe she is not one to be with the silent type. But I think it could have worked out in the end with a dating relationship. Awwww…Poor DDahnna. None of the guys left will be happy seeing this episode of the show and then trusting DD’s heart with them if she picks one of them. I think she pulls a Womack. We’ll see.
On a positive note, she said she wants three kids by the time she is 30 but she is 26 already. So, she could marry sweet Jason who she is not in love with right away and get Ty as a three year old, have a baby at 27 and 29 and be done. If she picks anyone else who she is not in love with, the most babies she would have by 30 is two and that is pushing it. No pun. ha!
Did anyone else notice that DD had no clue what the Space Needle was when Jason took her there??
Lincee,
I click on every possible link on your website in hopes that you can retire off your blog advertisements. Will that ever happen? Do you get some money from us ad clickers? Enough to buy a used Geo? A Subway sandwich?
Lyn
Lincee-
Thanks for answering my question! I, too, thought Tina Fabulous was truly fabulous! The best Bachelorette ever… I loved Andrew Firestone’s season the best and plan on Netflixing it for my husband who’s totally gotten hooked on the Bach. Can’t wait to read your wrap-up of that season!
Lincee-
Have you read any of Jen Lancaster’s memoirs? They are LMAO funny, I highly recommend! She started off writing a blog, which she still keeps up with, Jennsylvania.com. Anyway, completely random and funny bits from her life! You should follow suit!
love this post. love it. your response the the pina colada song being my favorite. you are very clever and do have a gift for writing. sign me up to buy your book when it comes out!
Lincee,
Just for the record, I had a rose ready for ya! Oh well.
Thanks for all the dating advice, all is going well for me thanks to you!
#24-Lindsay
I was thinking the exact same thing. I just read “Such a Pretty Fat’ and laughed out loud every other page. I could see Lincee writing a book like that. I was going to post that Lincee should check her out, but you beat me to it…Great minds think alike!
thanks Lincee- fun reading about you! You’re a very interesting person. About the book deal- how about just publishing all of your past recaps in one book??
I agree with #7 – you should write a book about a girl who goes on a reality show…write what you know girl! Or you culd write about a girl who travels to exotic locations. With your humor its bound to be on the best seller list!
Lincee, So…with you and the mysterious webman….???
I think you’re saying there’s a chance!!!
