From Lincee:
Hello there friends! Who knew Melba toast would get saucy and kiss a bunch of girls in the second episode? Go Jason! Too bad I’m in the piney woods of East Texas and can’t write the recap this morning. I’ll be driving around Louisiana today in 30 degree weather without a coat. You may feel sorry for me.
In the meantime, use the comment section to discuss last night’s episode. I’ll get you started: do you feel that a scarf paired with a tank top is in the same fashion category as wearing Uggs with shorts?
Don’t forget to check out my boy Chris Harrison’s blog on Entertainment Weekly’s website.
Recap coming tonight. Have a great day!
Melba toast has always been good with toppings added…I guess one might have to experiment with several different “dips” to determine which one is tastiest with that toast!
Why, yes, Lincee, I DO feel that a scarf paired with a tank top is in the same fashion category as wearing Uggs with shorts!! Also, pedicure salon flip flops with jeans and a sweater is in that category – saw that yesterday at the Marshall’s store. Some places are too good to stay away from, even if you just got your toeseys done and it’s only 38 degrees outside, I guess. But anyway….
I am glad that Raquel is gone, as she seemed a little spooky to me even before the sneak in the limo scene.
Stephanie is too nice (Southern girl polite) and needs to be a bit more of a prankster with Jason – silly and goofy – or she’ll be cursed to sympathetic friend, bless her heart for what she’s been through status forever.
I understand other commenters (and feel this way too) being shocked that Erica and some others are still in the game – but as in years past, I have to remind myself that the producers only let the Bachelor send home a certain number of girls per week. Don’t you know, at times, that the contestant is thinking, “I could narrow this down to four right now!! Send these other @#$% home today!!”
I figured that Megan and Erica would be history, but then that would leave very little drama. I wonder who’ll throw the first punch…
The scarf and the t-shirt made me do a double-take. My guess is that she asked the other girls for their advice and they totally threw her under the bus on that little fashion mishap.
Looking forward to your recap!
I was impressed by Jason last night and I too love the hot dog girl. She seems to be the right amount of fun without being crazy. I also like Nikki, although I was concerned when we first saw her made up in her crown. I loved last night when they were talking and Jason told her she had lovely qualities and the camerman was zooming in on her chest!! Another name for those puppies. Stephanie is really sweet and I like her too. And it is not because I’m an Alabama girl. But I don’t want to see her get hurt. I hope that if Jason sees her as just a friend he tells her early.
Shannon is wicked crazy and needs to go before his rabbit ends up being boiled!! I put Natalie in that category too. I couldn’t believe she was already crying at this stage. And Lauren is too spoiled for me to take. i don’t see that lasting very long if she needs that much attention!
I too like hot dog girl. Also I love Chris Harrison – from his blog “Our little Jason, quiet, little shy Jason got four kisses in one week. Well played, sir…well played! I mean how dare you, sir, how dare you!”.
Can’t wait for the recap!
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE tells these girls that the side ponytail went out inthe 80′s and that if they MUST wear one they can only do so with a pair of leggings and a terrycloth headband. Jeez!
Yeah, I noticed the zooming in on Nikki’s chest when Jason was talking about her “qualities”, too. She certainly has no qualms about putting them on display.
I feel like I should be on Molly’s side since she’s from my hometown, but I have to admit she’s a little annoying.
No one’s mentioned Melissa – she seems like a sweet girl. And Stephanie is awfully sweet, too. She seems light years more mature than most of the girls. That may blow up in her face, though – she may not be “fun” enough for Jason.
Can’t believe he didn’t can Megan, Erica and Shannon last night – they ALL need to go
Last nights episode had plenty of great moments, but my favorite had to be in the preview for next week’s episode. Did anyone else notice the complete headbutt Stephanie gave her little girl when she ran to greet her on the beach?!?! Is it mean that I played it in slow-mo several times?
Straight hilarious.
living in northwest indiana where the temp is currently 15 degrees, but feels like 2 degrees, with snow and sometimes blizzard like conditions, I don’t understand why people pair scarves with tank tops because I live in a land where scarves are a necessity not really a fashion thing.
I was surprised when he let Raquel go…what guy doesn’t want a hott Brazilian chick?
Thank you SOO much for mentioning Chris Harrison’s blog! How have I never heard of that one? It was very very funny.
Ali, I noticed the headbutt too! But I’m glad it looks like Stephanie and Jason have a great beach date.
I love this show.
#3 I noticed the camera zoom too, and laughed out loud!
Perhaps the scarf with the tanktop was Melissa trying an alternative to a jacket. Too bad it didn’t work. Did anyone else notice Jillian’s silver zipper on her black dress?? It bugged me the whole time they were dancing.
But the funniest thing for me had to be courtesy of the ABC intern. Did you see what they used to prop up all the notes left at the door? I swear it was a pop bottle cap. Seriously, couldn’t they find a nice polished stone or something? Maybe the intern spent all the budget on hotdogs…
Still cheering for Jillian and Melissa, though I’m starting to like Nikki more and more. Erica and Natalie and Molly all bug me. And Shannon is over the top!
Just my two cents.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of Nikki’s sideburns last night, I mean what the????? Oh and does anyone else think she looks a little bit like Michael Jackson??
Out here in California scarves with two or more tank tops, poured-into jeans and flip flops are a way of life, and for many people WAY too old to be wearing what has become a silly “uniform” — what’s really absurd is when you see young business women in suits with flip flops (presumably) going back and forth to work. And frankly, while we don’t have the burrrr weather many other places have, wearing this stuff in 50 degrees looks really ridiculous.
Given that Raquel’s first language is Portuguese, it was obvious (particularly to those of us who’ve taught English in Brasil) that her first comment to Jason when he got into the car was translated directly from her head to her mouth — which means that sometimes it sounds strange in English, as it clearly did to him. There’s no question she’s a lovely woman, but sometimes the translated word doesn’t work, as in her case. I’m sorry she wasn’t given a better chance — she beats the hell ouf of Erica and Shannon!
I (and my husband for that matter) very much got the point about Nikki’s “qualities” – that was so blatant! #7: It is SO not mean that you replayed it several times. Because if that makes you mean, it makes me mean too. It was such a tender moment, and I was even getting a little teary. And I really expected her to pick her little girl UP into her arms. When they collided, it was just pure physical comedy genius. It belonged on America’s Funniest Home Videos. We were hysterical with laughter. I mean – the force of it knocked the kid’s hat off for crying out loud!
I’m all for hot dog girl too. I think she’s doggone terrific! (See what I did there?)
Oh, and as for Shannon — she totally creeps me out, and that is hard to do. Were I Jason I’d be SPRINTING in the oppositie direction!
Shannon is a psychopath, yes, but she is sweet. Erica is loud, vulgar, sloppy and not pretty or cute. I understand why the other girls dislike Meaghan, but at least she is very elegant, with the posture and bearing of a lady. And her attempt to ask Erica about apparently contradictory statements was done privately, person-to-person; Erica dragged it into the living room and tried to inflate it to a bigger drama, which was immature and painful to watch.
And on the topic of fashion fails…not sure what to think of Meaghan’s frilly white dress with cowboy boots, or Jason’s hipster/JoBro wannabe vest and t-shirt combo…
My favorite moment in last night’s episode was when Jason took his shirt off by the pool — not because of his chest but because of the swelling, emotional climax music. Don’t they usually save that for the final rose ceremony? Thank you, Bachelor sound people, for making me giggle.
Mo, I couldn’t agree more. I asked DH last night when side pony tails came back…..I won’t even put my 2yr old in them. UGH!
I totally thought that he was going to sent Sharon and Natalie home. I was right on one but I was totally shocked by Raquel. I figured he would keep her around for a while just so he could brag that he dated a hot Brazilian chick.
I really like Jillian and I am starting to like Melissa, although she does remind me of Mandy Moore. It wouldn’t kill me to see Nicky go I mean I have seen enough of her “qualities” to last a life time. I would love to see her wear something a little less low cut at the next RC.
Can someone, anyone explain why he kept Stalker Shannon and sent home Brazilian Raquel? Seriously, Mr. shopgirl and I were both confused by that. I know OHCH’s blog says Jason was tired and less than enthused to find Raquel in the limo when he just wanted to go home, but I still don’t get keeping Shannon. — She’s only going to get crazier the longer he keeps her.
Also, I’m having a hard time warming up to Hot Dog Girl only because I think there is a huge flaw in her Hot Dog Theory — Most people don’t eat just one condiment on their hot dogs! So how do you categorize the guy who likes mustard and onions and relish and tomatoes AND sauerkraut! I know it was her cute little gimmick to get noticed, but I can’t get past the fact that there is nothing logical about it…
And what do you all think about this new twist of not everyone having a one-on-one or group date. Was it too much work for the ABC intern to arrange another group date? S/he couldn’t find a bowling alley or skating rink to rent out or something?! Seems inherently unfair — sort of like the “Vote for the girl you want to leave” — oh, did we forget to say “leave with a rose…” Unfair, I say!
So, I totally said to my husband who was “watching” with me, “I just don’t understand this whole scarf-with-a-tank-top look.” To which he replied, “I didn’t know it was a look…”.
Apparently it is a look that is to be categorized
.
I totally rewound when she runs smack into her daughter too. It seemed like she was trying to do last season’s Jason/Ty move and failed miserably. Did everyone think it was DD in the limo during the tease or was it just me? Or that SHE was the one who sent the rose to Jason on the pool date? Come on ABC… we know she is coming back but how long are you going to drag it out?? Maybe she really did show up after her break up with Jesse!
OK, first off don’t be thrown off by my name. I am at work reading this on my lunch break and Ali and Jenna, I think I am going to get fired I am laughing so hard! My sister-in-law and I are watching the show together each week (yes, we have printed off the girls bios and are taking notes and crossing out). Well, that whole scene started as awwwww and ended up as doah! I just keep visioning that poor little girl’s head whipping back as her mom came running in to hold her. OK, now I am starting to feel bad, but you are absolutely right – straight up hilarious!
Oh the fashion faux pas from last night–scarves with tank tops, side-ponytails, vests with t-shirts, silver zipper up the side of the dress (yes, #10, it bugged me, too). Please tell me these looks are not headed toward the main stream. You know the camera man was just loving the booby-shot moment, complete with commentary…I believe Jason’s words were “obvious qualities.” We had to rewind that and the sweet but silly collision on the beach a couple of times.
Does anyone else think that Natalie looks A LOT like another bachelorette from a previous season? I can’t put my finger on just who. My memory is rusty. Somebody help me out!
#22 . . . I think she looks like Kate from a few seasons ago. I think her last name was brockhouse, or something like that.
Lincee, I cannot feel sorry for you in 30 degree weather, as here in Minnesota it is currently -15 (yes that is negative 15) and that is without the windchill factored in! BRRRRRRR I am glad I got to watch the Bachelor in all his swimsuit glory knowing that it is warm somewhere! (or at least it was when this was filmed). I like the southern lady (Stephanie?) and Jillian seems pretty cool. Erica seems Crazazazy and most of the others seem like fillers……
Scarves with tank tops has been in fashion for a while now. I thought Melissa looked very casual and cute. Although I thought she was adorable and has a great personality, it didn’t quite seem sincere when she said she wanted to stay home with her kids in the summer. I don’t know…just kind of thought she was saying it bc he wanted to hear it.
I LOVE Stephanie! Hot dog girl kind of grew on me too! Nikki freaks me out a little. She seemed a little too jealous, and it annoys me when one girl tells on the others. My psycho list goes as follows: Natalie, Shannon, Meagan, Erica, Brazil, even Molly a little…..
Shannon has to be a producer plant, she’s just spooky and a tad too stalkerish. Erica and Meghan (sp?) are kept for the drama, I think. The others are pretty interchangable to me. I have a hard time telling some of them apart.
I think Stephanie would look a lot better if she a) toned down the makeup and b) peeled her child off of her forehead. She should have just kneeled (knelt?), and let the little girl run into her arms. Ah, hindsight.
Has there been another episode where more girls literally asked to be kissed?
I’m liking Melissa, she seems the most down to earth to me.
Can someone please explain Uggs to me. I live in Canada, we wear boots in the snow. Aren’t they hot to wear in warmer regions? I’ve seen pics of them worn with shorts, it totally escapes me.
You’re getting some good feedback on OHCH’s blog. Hooray Lincee!
On the fashion, I think everyone is being a little too stiff about this.
scarve w/ tank – it is such a young hollywood look, we’ve all seen it in US Weekly. I also live in texas and have seen it done in the Spring/Fall. It’s a light weight scarf, not a wool knit heated scarf. I don’t totally love the look, but i think they want to throw things on to stand out and look hip/up to date.
side pony – again – kim kardashian, Linds Lo, I’ve seen so many of them do it with their hair curled, not saying I love it, but it’s being done all over the place, easily for the last 3 years. All the teeny boppers at my little sister’s high school wear them too.
silver zipper – it’s an emphasized detail. somethign to jazz up the little black dress
jasons looks – so very “wardrobe courtesy of…” didn’t love the vest thing, but again the show is provided these and he is just going with it.
I think alot of the girls are young and have a different perspective on fashion. I also think they want to add a little extra punch and maybe sometimes thier punch comes out bad…
Yeah, so I laughed so hard when they were focusing on the “qualities”. And especially when Jason followed it up with something like “I think all of the girls can see your qualities” because I thought “heck, the whole WORLD can see your qualities…just hanging out there!”
Side pony tail – has to go. This never looked good.
Crazy stalker girl freaks me out. If someone who not only took the time to learn that stuff but also to memorize it, I’d freak out!
#7 & #13 No worries, I did it too and laughed hysterically! I can’t wait for that next week. Hopefully poor Sophia won’t end up in a coma with neck injuries from the whip lash she got from Stephanie’s shoulder. haha!!! I think I might wear out my tivo instant replay button on that one!
#11 Yes!!! Nikki’s sideburns are atrocious! What was she thinking! I don’t even think they deserve a “Bless her heart!” they’re that bad!
I think the top 4 should be Jillian, Melissa, Nikki, and Stephanie! The rest can go!
I loved the fashion show the girls did at the end during the credits with Stephanie’s 5-suitcases full of clothes, jewelry and shoes. So funny.
#11 – I also couldn’t stop looking at her sideburns. I had to the pause the TV because I couldn’t figure out what what going on. Is her hair really short and she’s wearing a wig? Or does she really just have big sideburns? Of course, I was also distracted by her “assets” that the cameraman zoomed in on.
Go easy on Stephanie for running into her daughter. If I hadn’t seen mine in a long time and thought I was missing her birthday only to see her run around a corner, I’d probably be less than graceful too. How it looks for the cameras was probably the last thing on her mind – she just couldn’t get to her fast enough and they crashed. My poor kids probably would have been tackled!
Scarves and tank tops – yah, it might be popular right now, but someday they’ll look back on this and say “what was I thinking”. Now I’m glad that my parents never bought me cavariccis… I just wish I could say the same for the purple, sparkly leg warmers. Oh my!
While I don’t see Stephanie as being the final one, I have grown to love her. When she toasted to herself with the two margaritas in her hand (wearing that gorgeous coverup, I want it!) I couldn’t help but smile. She can obviously loosen up (see the shot of her doing a cartwheel on the beach) but those many, many bags o’ jewelry? Just a wee bit too high maintenence for Jason. I would love to see her be the next bachelorette though.
My fiance came in during the show and thought Shannon was cute, and stalkerish is okay for about a week or two. He opined that brazilian chick was unpleasant high maintenence and understood why she went. He thought Jillian and Melissa were the only two to really consider. He’s from Seattle too fwtw.
I don’t understand possesive people who would go on a reality show like that. I guess they’re vetted well and the producers will think it makes for fun viewing. Sweater bunnies are a bonus. Yes, I’m talking to you Nikki!
I wonder how much influence the producers/staff have over who the Bachelors chose to stay or go. It’s been apparent almost every season that some girls are left on for pure entertainment value.
Lincee, you are too nice to promote Chris Harrison’s blog. I like it, but he stole your dream job! And now he’s stealing your lines….did you notice he used a “bless her heart?” He owes you some props!
lincee. need. blog. now. in. withdrawal. help. please.
a) the canadian hot dog is growing on me. but her accent… it’s aboooouut time it goes.
b) look at mental dental’s teeth. now think… jerry blank. anyone? anyone? strangers with candy!
c) jason kissed like twelve girls in one night. he’s almost as much of a man whore as maksim. oh yes, i said it.
d) i love that all i see are nikki’s “qualities”… but i hear her whispering to jason that certain girls aren’t fit to be mothers. ty is past the breast feeding stage, nikki. showing your cans doesn’t make you mom-material either.
e) what’s with the girls’ lame kiss-me-now lines? *do you want me to show you my secret trick? *let’s be friends, jason. can friends kiss? *mr. good year blimp… will i get a kiss today? LAME.
f) #11. nikki’s sideburns are out of control. they are borderline pork chops. scary, really.
g) erika needs to go. the new york giants could use those shoulders on their defensive line.
h) i can’t believe no one commented on the slow-motion mini-drama of jason taking off his shirt. what the ???? ridiculous. these women need to get out more.
i) i thought stephanie was too “old lady” in that white lace cover-up. she’s really got to “youth” herself up… but the clip for next week really got me. it was so sweet (and painful) to watch her and her kid. you can tell it touched jason’s heart. also, i thought the fashion show was hilarious. shows her fun side. but really… the mary kay make-up-a-thon needs to goooo.
j) #28, you are completely right. i wear scarves and tanks/tees all the time. i’m addicted to scarves. don’t knock it til you try it.
k) i am wearing a side ponytail right now in honor of this blog. my co-worker just did a double take.
Ohhhhh… #33, you might be onto something with Stephanie as the next bachelorette… Do you think she would do it?
Well last week I said I couldn’t get on Stephanie’s bandwagon but I must say she grew on me a little bit last night. She looked so much better by the pool when she wasn’t so “made up”. And I loved that she could laugh with the other girls at the end during the fashion show with all the stuff she brought. So far I’m liking her and Nikki best but then last night I, like many of you, noticed Nikki’s sideburns and wonder what’s up with that? And also I think she may be doing the whole “They’re not ready for Motherhood but I totally am” think a liiiitle too much. She acting like she’s totally prepared and I don’t think that’s something you can prepare for. I’m currently dating someone with kids and I would never say I am completely prepared and we’ve been together for over two years! Shannon is CAHrazy and needs to go! I couldn’t believe she was throwing ice at the balcony, how immature! And then I can’t remember who already had a rose but then interrupted Jason and Megan, that was also very immature. Does that not tell him something about this women or is he just loving all the attention too much to realize it could cause problems when they get back to reality??? I’m sure I have more thoughts but I’m done for now. Oh except to say that I think I must be the only one who doesn’t like Melissa? She’s not getting any votes from me, not sure why I’m just not crazy about her.
1. i LOVE melissa
2. love jillian
3. i doubt molly is ready to settle down and raise a family.
4. erica is looking for drama, and wish she would shut her trap and just leave megan alone. i hope she leaves soon.
RECAP RECAP RECAP, LINCEE!!!
oh yeah, is it just me, or in the whole time we’ve watched this season we know NOTHING about shannon? other than the fact that she’s psycho- obsessed with jason. hmm. i’d like her to say something about her own life.
Hello Girls!! I know EXACTLY why she wore a scarf with a tank top. Obviously they’re in L.A., so it;s hot right. But how else was she supposed to hide the hickey she got from the ABC intern on the first night. She couldn’t let jason know about that. What’s a girl to do??? Scarf and tank top it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#10 – I noticed the bottle cap, too!! My first thought was “Poor ABC Intern couldn’t find anything except the cap from his water bottle…”
Last night was great. I wonder why he is keeping Meghan and Erica. Jason did seem to have a few good chats with Meghan and maybe he relates to her since she also has a child. I am sure she will be gone by next week, though.
But Erica?? She seems way too harsh around the edges and doesn’t seem like she would be a very good mother figure right now. I don’t know why he got rid of Raquel rather than her. Maybe Raquel really freaked him out in the limo!
And, the close-up of Nikki’s cleavage when Jason was discussing her qualities was CLASSIC! It was the funniest part of the night.
#34 – I agree with your statement. I think the producers do keep a few people on for the ratings.
Does anyone have guesses on who the final 3 might be? I am guessing Melissa, Jillian and Stephanie.
I can’t believe no one has commented on Natalie’s choice for her dress/shoes on the group date. She straight up looked like a street walker!!
I take back the negative things I said about Stephanie last week — she has grown on me. I think she is a true “southern belle”. I think she could be a good fit with Jason. She carries herself with dignity and class always which is something a few of the other girls could stand to do a bit more of!
I think Megan is misunderstood, although if you read OHCH’s blog, he makes it sound like she is every bit like she is edited to be on the show. Hmmm…but I like her. I think she got the raw end of the Erica deal. Speaking of Erica…she is a drunk and a beotch. Hope she goes next week.
I thought Molly stealing Jason away when he was with Megan was low. Because of that, I have decided that I don’t like Molly. She seems like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I swear I have seen Natalie on some other reality TV show. She looks WAY too familiar. I must google her.
My vote is still on Melissa. I think Nikki is WAY too serious (does the girl know how to smile?!) and I thought it was uncool that she kept telling Jason that there were girls there that SHE thought weren’t ready to settle down. Wow…she’s known them all of what? Two days? And she already knows who is ready for a serious relationship? Uncool to throw the other girls under the bus.
Finally – can’t believe no one mentioned the underwater camera shots in the pool on the group date. I had to laugh out loud on that way. Well done, camera guy, well done…
ruthie – I know you are not trying to be offensive, but your first comment about Jillian’s accent is so rude. That’s like saying that Stephanie needs to lose her southern accent. An accent is a product of where one grows up.
Dear easily offended, (#43) this entire website is about making fun of the girls on the show. Get overyourself and go back to watching Little House on the Prairie.
Sincerely,
Wildly Offensive
Nikki is definitely starting to bug me – aside from her “obvious qualities”, she just seems so holier than thou – not sure why she seems to have a vendetta against Natalie (although Natalie is coming across as a gold-digger, whether for real or due to the editing, I don’t know…)
All this stuff about being ready to be a mother – it is one thing for one of the women who actually has a child to say that the other girls don’t know what they’re getting into, but she doesn’t have kids of her own either and I don’t think she can make that judgment.
Does anyone really believe she has only kissed one guy in her entire life? If that’s the case, my guess is she isn’t ready to be on a reality t.v. show where multiple girls date the same guy. Girls who don’t kiss get sent home so I think she’ll be going soon unless she puckers up – also, I’m thinking she’s moving into the friend zone despite her “qualities” with all this advice giving about the other girl’s intentions.
oh…thought of more things to add:
can’t stand lauren. thought she came across as a moron when she said something to the effect of “i’m competitive. i’ve been in pagents. i like to win.” niiiicccceeee…
also — i loved how shannon said she was ready to be a mom and jason asked her “really? why do you say that?” and she said she had 3 friends who were pregnant. wow…since when does having pregnant friends make you ready to be a mom?
Melissa. Quietly moving up the pack. Watch for this one…..and listen to the music when Melissa and Jason are together.
I LOVE your blog. Been reading it for a few seasons of “The Bachelor.” You are hilarious!
Well, I’m glad someone else saw the silver side zipper on Jillian’s dress. I kept thinking, what the ???? Seriously????
I live in California and see scarves with every outfit imaginable – t-shirts, tanks, business suits, over jackets, under them, with blouses… crazy. And yes, Uggs in the summer and flip flops in the winter. Sigh.
Ok, Shannon is seriously creeping me out. Does anyone else think she looks NOTHING like she did on the first night? A couple of shots of her scared me. She so needs to go.
Over at the FORT, they’ve already figured out the final gal and it was interesting to see the top three all standing together last night.
Natalie, Megan, Lauren, Erica and Shannon all so need to go now!
I haven’t seen Naomi’s name mentioned yet, but I like her. It surprised me when she was talking about charity work with Jason at the pool party.
Next week should be fun, but it will be nice to get down to the final 6 when we really start seeing the chemistry.
And since the blimp seemed to know it all, I would have asked for the winning Lotto numbers
I love stephanie. I really do. Bless her heart, I really love her.
But please. please. PLEASE someone help her with her hair!!!
That high on her head updo made her forehead look even more botox’ed than before! It was like pulling her eyebrows up! And then the preview of the beach date she had a super tight ponytail. I feel like if she would soften it up around her face by wearing her hair down it would make her look a lot younger!
It’s a toss-up for me between Melissa and Jillian. Love them both-totally not impressed with anyone else at all. I predict they will be the last two standing. I used to like Natalie, but thought she was way intense last night. She needs to focus on herself instead of telling Jason the other girls aren’t right for him. BTW, how awkward was that moment between Naomi and Jason..”can friends kiss”? Hello, you barely even talked to him!!!
I can’t believe no one’s commented on, was it Lauren? who when she didn’t get the first rose and one-on-one date about how she wouldn’t have known what to do with her hair, she would have to wear it curly, in a ponytail, she would have hated that, etc. Cracked me up!
Ok what is Melba toast? I think Stephanie is way too old for him.
and also the cheesy reunion with her daughter where she almost falls on her……Puleeze!
i meant to say Nikki not Natalie in the above post!
#18 on the Jillian’s theory for hot dogs…it isn’t that you can’t have more than one topping but it is the first topping you choose that tells her what she needs to know. She explained it a little more when Jason was getting ready to top his dog.
I didn’t make it all through the comments…but since you guys were talking about fashion mishaps last night…did anyone else (please!!) catch Erika’s “nip slip”?!!! The whole time she was making her dramatic speech they had to fuzz out her top! HAHA!
I like Jillian. That is all.
52: I was just about to comment on Lauren’s soliloquy about the one-on-one date. I told my BF that she was channeling Cher (of Clueless, not of Sonny and…). “I would have had no time to get ready. What would I have done with my hair? I would have had to wear my hair curly. That would have been AWFUL. I’m SO GLAD he didn’t pick me!” Classic.
Oh my God – #52 – I can’t believe I forgot about that – hilarious!
Although I could almost relate b/c I hate my curly hair and love to straighten for special occasions -she clearly felt VERY strongly about it.
I’m thinking the excitement of getting the first rose and going on the date should have way outweighed the dilemma of having to go with curly hair.
57: TOTALLY caught the flesh-colored blurring! Someone who likes to get that drunk and animated needs to hold the girls in a little better for network TV shows.
#53 – Melba Toast is just a plain, dry toast… nothin’ to it… boring.
Why has nobody pointed out that ABC teased us with last week previews clearly showed Deahhhhhna on last night’s episode and she was not on!?!? I had to scarfice TIVOing “How I Met Your Mother” because I wanted to see Deahhhhna.
When is she coming back? We all know that is totally in the editing and it won’t be any big deal, but still makes for good TV.
#63 – That was a preview for what was coming up this season, not just last night. So it’s still coming.
Okay, I have to put my two cents worth in….I read the FORT so I know they have already sleuthed to find extremely convincing proof of the final four, three, two and yes, even the Winner! And if they are right, ABC really is deceitful this season! Even though I think the great detectives over at the FORT are right, I will tell you who I like so far, even if they aren’t who the FORT folks say are in it for sure…I like — in no particular order — Jillian, Stephanie, Melissa, Naomi….yeah, that’s pretty much it. I also think Meagan is misunderstood, but agree as well that she is not a “sweet” enough girl for Jason. Jason needs sweet, funny, adventurous, caring, selflessness (as one girl put it last night), and a huge heart for children and all the fun, and not-so-fun that comes along with being a step-mom. I truly hope this bachelor season turns out well for Jason and his choice and they really do get married and they really end up happy!
Oh, one more thing…..I can’t STAND Erica. And her bio pic doesn’t even look like the Erica we’ve seen the last two weeks……she HAS GOT TO GO!!!!
Ok…gonna go against the crowd with this one…(no tomatoes, PLEASE! LOL) I actually LIKE Meaghan(sp?). I think she is actually one of the few honest, real girls in the house. IMHO not necessarily the best match for Melba, but overall a decent girl. As for Erica – I think that girl is flat out mean and nasty. I can’t wait for her true colors to come out. Personally, I hope that Meaghan pops her one square in the schnozz. I might just fall off the sofa LMAO at that one! Fingers crossed!
As for Stephanie – I like her. I really LIKE her! As far as her bopping heads with her daughter – well if I didn’t see my little girl for more than a day and I was surprised by her magically appearing before my eyes, I’d fall on her in the sand too. She seems like a sweet and loving mom. Great sense of humor too with the fashion show at the end. TOO funny! All that jewelry of hers… now THAT’S a girl that I would definitely get along with very well! I forget the name of the girl with the scarf but I thought she looked adorable. I live in NYC and never really saw that before as we don’t do that here. I liked her a lot though. I thought she and Jason seemed to have great chemistry. Last but not least…Shannon = crazy.
(Oh… I almost forgot – I noticed that bottle cap thingie under the notes on the tray too!!! LMAO!! OMG – Couldn’t that intern have come up with ANYTHING better than that?? Leave the note FLAT on the tray for crying out loud! ANYTHING would be better than that bottle cap!!!)
Do NOT understand anyone rooting for Nikki. She was a total bitch last night towards Natalie about the kissing?! Helllllooooo you’re dating the same guy as 25 other girls. What else is there to talk about other than who’s kissing and who’s not??? Suck it up. And grow up. Adults kiss. Get a life. And then trying to out the “not ready” girls to Jason? Is she going to run to Jason and tell on Ty when he won’t come to the dinner table on time? Nobody likes a tattle tale. And THANK YOU karlie’s mom!!! I’ve been haaaaaaaating myself since the very beginning for not being able to figure out who Melissa reminds me of. MANDY MOORE! You’re brilliant, thanks
)
I thought Stephanie showed a lot of class by not being too aggressive and she was respectful of Jason and Natalie’s conversation. She looks like she has had some work doe on her face but I think she has elegance and grace. Melissa grew on me last night too and I have a feeling she will get the final rose:)
AggieFan- What is the fort????
I think Stephanie is trying to channel ‘southern belle’ Ashely Judd.
What is the web address for FORT that gives answers to what is happening on the show
Lincee – here’s a new job for you: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090113/od_afp/lifestyleaustraliatourismoffbeat;_ylt=AvMDUceRGW9HS9k6.NZZNCSs0NUE
#70, #72 : Fans Of Reality Television, http://www.fansofrealitytv.com
AggieFan – where on FORT did you snoop for the “answers”???
It’s just me, but Shannon’s a dental hygenist and her smile looks like she’s wearing horse dentures? What’s up with that? Naomi is just not right….can’t put my finger on it (yet), but she’s a tad off kilter. Nikki acts like the sorority house mother and looks like a bad sex-change operation….she is too officious in her advice to Jason, the boob doctor operating the air compressor kept his foot on the pedal a little too long, and that facial hair/sideburns. Erica is a drunk…if she ever gets alone time with Jason, she will ride him hard and hang him up wet….maybe the batch swings the fem dom way? Steph is sincere, but sweet isn’t going to swing it with this crew of psycho wife/mom wannabes…..look for the widow to lay low until she’s pushed to confrontation….only then will she completely destroy one of the pack….and she’ll do it quietly with a smile on her face….Jillian has got game…..got to get a better read on her next week. Melissa was working my very last nerve, but quit that tap dance and rallied me to her favor….she’s got the peppy thing down so I guess that makes her a pretty good fit for the Ultra-Bright man….also, Jason said she was a good kisser. Can. not. wait. for. next. week! I hoping Erica and Meghan go on a two on one date…maybe that what the “tension” trailer in the next week segment is all about?
#11–DEAD ON!! Lol!
I agree with sue. “Can’t believe he didn’t can Megan, Erica and Shannon last night – they ALL need to go.” Lauren seems to needy and Natalie’s fake tan and hair slays me. My favorite 3 are Melissa, Nikki and Jillian. I like Stephanie too. She seems sweet, but something isn’t right. Not sure what it is yet….Also, on Chris’ blog someone blurted out the “winner”, but let us not forget as much as we wished this were REALITY, ABC shows us what they want us to see. So maybe the winner is not spoiled afterall.
Ohh found it, nevermind. Um – I would LOVE to see a two on one date with Erica and Meghan. That would be the best thing ever – and I would be on team Meghan in that one.
I would like to see Jillian go all the way – she seems like one of the only gals on the show that is sweet and down to earth and might actually be RIGHT for Jason! I hope he makes a good choice.
#56 Denise: Thanks for the explanation! Still bugs me because toppings on a hot dog are typically put on in that order for a reason – you don’t put the mustard on over the other toppings because it is messier that way. I don’t know why I’m being so analytical on this hot dog theory…. just bugs me.
Not everyone got a date in a two hour episode and there were no date boxes (just the cheap little bottle cap). Can it be that the recession has hit The Bachelor?
Also, has anyone else here realized that “The Biggest Loser” has produced one more marriage than “The Bachelor/ette” franchise – and the same number of babies? And “The Biggest Loser” has only been on for 7 seasons and this the number 17 for “The Bachelor/ette.”
After last night I’ve devised a “play list” if you will that summarizes each lady in song. Program it to your iPods ladies and gents because there was a lot of thought put into this!
(In no particular order)
Nikki – “Centerfold” by the J. Giles Band (for obvious reasons)
Melissa – “God Blessed Texas” by Little Texas (pretty much because it is a spunky Texas song and she is a spunky Texas girl)
Jillian – “The Best is Yet to Come” by Michael Buble (I think we’re just seeing the beginning of Jillian)
Megan – “Honky Tonk Women” by The Rolling Stones (She seems like the type that’s seen the inside of every bar on the east coast)
Erica – “Bitch!” by Meridith whats-her-name (I think this is pretty self explanitory)
Stephanie – “I Hope You Dance” by Leann Womack (She is such a sweet lady!)
Kari – “Who’s That Girl” by Madonna (Seriously! Who is she???)
Natalie – “Making Love Out of Nothing At All” by Air Supply (She just bugs)
Lauren – “One More Night” by Phil Collins (I think Lauren is enjoying her last week at the mansion)
Naomi – “I Like My Women A Little on the Trashy Side” by Confederate Railroad (Need I say more???)
Molly – “Straight Up” by Paula Abdul (Okay this one really doesn’t have a reason)
Shannon – “I’ll Be Watching You” by The Police (Yes..this is the national anthem for all those living in Stalkerville and since Shannon is the Mayor of Stalkerville I thought it appropriate)
Speaking of wardrobe and such… What about the “How to loose a guy in 10 days” dress that Raquel was wearing? Why would you put yourself up against Kate Hudson? Who can compete with that? And what is up with Stephanie’s make up? Someone please help her.
Nice play list, True!
My favorite part from last night was when Natalie said going to the boutique to pick out an outfit was like being called home to her mother ship! I think she’s kind of high maintenance and probably not ready for a relationship but she’s “good TV.” Like others, I must admit that I like Stephanie way better this week especially the margarita toast to herself and the fashion show at the end. Where was Kari last night? She got a rose but I can honestly say I don’t remember one scene with her in it. Was she one of the synchronized swimmers? What bugged me last night is how Jason is doing what past bachelors have done and taken the credit for planning the dates. When he says “I did this and I did that,” I cringe everytime ‘cuz we all know who really planned it!
#22-23 mentioned Natalie and who she looks like…It’s Soooooo TINA FABULOUS from back in the day of Andrew Firestone. I think that was back in the day when Lincee was sending email recaps and they made their way around the world! Lord, this has been going a long time!
Haven’t had time to read all 83 comments, but is anyone else freaked out by Nikki’s massive man sideburns???
#11…me neither…strange!
I like Stephanie. Kinda’ hard not to.
That would’ve been wayyyy more important to me. But now, I’m not on the Bachlelor.
WHAT is the Fort?
Loving the play list!
Still liking the all beef hotdogs. I’m JUST SAYIN’!
Okay, I haven’t read all the way through the 80-something messages here, but has anyone else noticed Nikki’s “side burns?” It is so strange to me.
Whoops…sorry Hannah…just now saw your post. I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed.
www dot fansofrealitytv dot com / forums / bachelor-spoilers-speculation / 79368-substantiated-proof-f1-f2-f3 dot html
I hope this shows up this time. I tried just putting the link but it says “awaiting moderation”. This is the sort-of-link (you have to put it together and put real dots where the words dot show up) to the FansOfRealityTv site where there is crazy proof of the winner of this season…
have fun only if you want to know who wins….
Stephanie= Bree Van der Kamp????
All you need to do is Google Fans of Reality TV, select forums, The Bachelor and then spoilers and specculations. They have a screen cap thread, a thread with their proof of who wins and blogs for each of the girls. Interesting reading.
Very interesting, but I am not totally convinced. Some pictures seemed inconclusive and others convincing. And they mention Deanna too. Where do you think she fits into all of this?
There is a vague resemblance between Natalie and Tina Fabulous…except that Tina truly was Fabulous and Natalie is just a clone of every other Hollywood starlet wannabe. Maybe she has a personality, but I don’t get it yet. Guess Jason decided he had to keep at least one blonde until the third round – clearly he prefers dark hair and eyes.
I really like Stephanie, but she seems too mature…if that’s possible. I hope we get to see a more fun/less serious side to her, or I don’t think Jason will ever go for her. I also about died laughing when she talked about how “awesome” Jason is. Did anyone else think that word sounded pretty strange coming out of her mouth?LOL So more fun and less makeup makes Stephanie a girl in the running in my book!
Yea, Stephanie came through for me last night. I was nervous last week b/c I she was one of my faves and the Lincee bloggers weren’t feeling her too much. Obviously she’s not going around talking about her husband’s tragic accident b/c it looked like she told the girls about it for the first time last night. And OMG that story was a tear jerker! She seems well liked by the girls and I always think that’s a plus. Sideburns needs to quit talking about how other people aren’t ready to be a mom. Just ‘cuz her mammaries are ready to produce doesn’t mean she’ll be a great mom! She needs to loosen up her personality like she’s loosened up her decolletage. And Ericka is what we commonly refer to in Texas as WT. Can’t wait until next week – hope Sophia’s head is okay!
I don’t think Megan is the hard-hearted Hannah a lot of people seem to think she is. She teared up when Stephanie was telling the story of her husband’s death and it looked real to me! I also thought she was rather gracious when the girl who already had a rose “stole” Jason from her. I’d have said exactly what Megan was thinking: You already have a rose! Go away and give me some time with him! But she didn’t say it and that was classy.
I like Stephanie and think she seems like a lovely person but I can’t get over her looks. Maybe her husband’s death aged her prematurely, but she looks MUCH older than 34. Poor thing.
As for all these girls saying that they’re “ready to be mothers…” Gag! Ty *has* a mother! I am divorced and have a young son. If some woman marries my ex-husband thinking she’s going to be my son’s “new mommy,” she’s got another think coming! Grrr.
Lincee, I’m in Hawaii and it’s already 5:40 pm here. I’m so sad you haven’t posted your blog about last night’s show yet (but of course I’ll forgive you.)
Poor people on the east coast who have to wait until Wednesday to read it!
The fans of reality site does have the winner named and the proof is amazing!!! Still, I am going to watch. ABC may prove them wrong. Who knows.
This has been driving me crazy! Right before the group date pool party, they showed a girl in a yellow bikini with a tattoo peeping out in front. Who was that?? They never showed that yellow bikini again, and I rewound it and counted all 8 girls. Just wondering if anyone else noticed!!
Also, our new name for stalker Shannon is Crazytooth!
I loved the fashion show at the end last week. I agree with the commenters who thought that Megan was civil and Erika was overly-dramatic and rude. It seems like Chris Harrison was trying to stick up for Jason keeping them both around by saying that he is not privy to what goes on when he’s not there. I’m liking this season more than I thought I would. Can’t wait to read the recap, Lincee!!
Yeah..Lincee’s back! I haven’t had a chance to catch up on all the comments, but is it just me or does Shannon look like Julia Louis-Dreyfus?!?! I swear she comes to mind every time Shannon’s is shown. Please tell me I’m not alone in this!
Oh and Lauren for some reason favors I think it was Kristen from Andrew’s season…? I thought when I first saw her…she changed her identity and fooled those producers to get another shot!
i also noticed the many fashion statements made last night by our bachelorettes… the sideburns, yikes! what is going on with them? the scarf and tank top combo…was that melissa’s DCC: Power Squad tank top? she’s so dern cute though, i can’t really fault her for that. oh, and the side ponytail, how could i forget…and finally the “how to lose a guy in 10 days dress.” interesting choices, all…
anywho, can’t wait for the recap! still pulling for jillian, melissa and steph!
#49 – FORT also had Jillian going home last night, so maybe they aren’t so good on predictions?
-What happened to date boxes? Notes in plain white envelopes? Intern’s slackin’!
-Can’t get on the Stephanie-like train. She’s too old (in spirit if nothing else) for Jason and needs an older, more professional suburban man. And it bothered me that her child’s birthday was brought up and she was all sad about it and then looking at previews for the reunion at the beach. This woman signed up to find a husband … on television … and chose to do that and leave her child, knowing she’d miss her birthday. Ick.
-Tank and a cotton scarf is a hip and very popular look. I think Melissa looked cute. I do wonder that she said she’d never seen a blimp before. She was an NFL cheerleader, aren’t those blimps always at the games? Hmm. Maybe she meant she’d never seen one just flying around. Anyway, Jason looked like he was having a ball with her and they were shot in two positions for their kiss on the ground. They must’ve been enjoying themselves to be at it long enough to change positions!
Oh, hey – I TOTALLY get the moment with Stephanie and her daughter. The only reason I find physical comedy, and shows like America’s Funniest Home Videos beyond hilarious is because I am the biggest klutz I know – and very proud of it!! In fact, my mother-in-law calls me “Calamity Jane”. So I get particular joy out of watching otherwise normal people pull off such stunts. Makes me feel just a smidge better. Plus, and I’ll say it again, when the force of it knocked her daughter’s hat off, that went beyond merely funny. That made it downright guffaw-worthy.
Scarves and tank tops: I’m not sure I can get behind that fashion movement. It’s the visual equivalent of saying: “My neck and chest is freezing, but my shoulders and arms are way too hot!” Sorry, couldn’t resist. Maybe it’s because it’s 29 degrees here in VA and scarves are a necessity now. Or maybe it’s because I’m jealous that I’d never be able to pull it off.
I’m sorry to all you Stephanie-likers but I just can’t seem to get past Stephanie’s forehead. Looks like Botox run amok. I have yet to see homegirl’s forehead move a milimeter! Other than that she’s got a nice personality I suppose…
I haven’t decided who I like for Jason just yet. I’m not big on Megan. Shannon still makes me uncomfortable just watching her and she doesn’t even have any of my personal information! Still up in the air on a lot of them.
Karlie’s Mom, the Mandy Moore comment about Melissa is what I said from when I first saw her! I had to drag my husband into the room to show him, and he agreed. I am glad someone else thinks so!
# 11, she does look like Michael Jackson. I will keep my eyes peeled for her sideburns! Nikki is not cute. Sorry.
First time posting on here, but long time Lincee blog reader. Can’t wait for her recap!
I like Melissa the most…but hey, I am from Dallas. And the scarf thing did not bother me. I would never wear that, but it didn’t strike me as weird. But hey, I live in Dallas.
P.S. I think I really watch the show so I can read the recaps!
Oh, so happy to have found this blog!!!! I’m one of the Stephanie liker’s…so don’t hate me! Us single mom’s have to stick together!
I am dying with anticipation!
#101 – Fort didn’t predict Jillian would go home.
Check their elimination list again. Its been spot on.
I’m getting worried about Lincee. You’re not suffering from hypothermia, I hope!
#101- Dallas has an indoor stadium (basically) and they don’t cheer at away games, so maybe that’s why she hadn’t seen one?
Also- Did anyone else catch that Erica mentioned she’d been cheated on by her last boyfriend with someone who was 52- good grief. That’s got to make you wonder. . .
I feel like I have to support comment #28.
The tank top/scarf combo is very common in the dallas early twenties crowd. The scarf wasn’t wooly and fluffy, it was super thin and virtually the equivalent of a necklace. Think of it as an accesory. I see this look ALLLL the time, so I’m sure melissa and her friends rock this look a lot.
Side Pony– totally agree with #28. all the young celebs have been spotted with the low side pony. I’m not saying I love this look or would choose to go with the side pony myself, but again I see this ALL the time. Pretty much all my friends wear the side pony on a regular basis. So I don’t think any of these girls are committing complete fashion mishaps, they just might be trying to take a super young super trendy look that would probably work better on someone who is 17 and attempting to incorporate it into their style.
As for Jason and his shirt/vest combo. Wow. Not the best look for poor sweet Melba. But like comment #28 says, I’m sure he didn’t have much of a choice on this one.
So that’s my two cents!
#106 – Hi! I don’t know what they have posted now, but t has been my experience that FORT edits their posts as the show goes on. I wrote down their whole ‘elimination’ list last Monday and they indeed had Jillian, Rachel and Lisa leaving this week, they also had Megan or Melissa for the Disney Hall date, Stephanie for the beach and the blimp as a group date. It’s still fun to see what they say and the ‘evidence’ they have … they are more dedicated and observant than I am, that’s for sure!
I personally like Melissa. Did you see Jason’s face when she made that comment about teaching first grade and playing with her kids in the summer? He’s all over that. And does anyone besides me see her resemblance to Deanna???
Kind of off subject, but has anyone noticed they haven’t posted the “Final Rose” game on ABC.com? You know where each week you pick who you think will advance to the next round? Although I think its all clever editing with the return of Deanna, it is kind of strange, they haven’t put up the game- because if she were to come back and be in the running, they wouldn’t be able to put the game up because she would need to be included and that would be giving it away. Just a thought…
PLEASE for those of you that read the FORT site and for those of you that know the contestants please please please don’t mention who wins or who’s in the final three…a couple of seasons ago someone who knew Shayne personally came on this blog and announced she’d gotten the final rose and it was so annoying – I’m the kind of person that likes the surprise even though none of the bachelors have stayed together (are Mary and her fisherman still even together??) And for those of you that don’t thank you!
Nothing wrong with a scarf and tank; I can’t believe people are ripping on her for that…jealous much?! She’s too dang cute; want to hate her but can’t!
I have to defend as I do that; if your neck is warm it helps the rest of you stay warm and she had no idea what to wear to prepare, worked out well for the beach. Although I have to admit that I’d wear Uggs with shorts if I could pull it off, but alas, I am too short….
And the side ponytails…OYE! Hot dog girls’ side pony was at least low and well styled; but crazy mom with the child with two names that must be spoken at all times when referencing him…what the heck?! That was a straight up, messed up side pony from the 80′s. She really needed some bright flouresant hoops to pull it off totally…
I’m with Colorado Cat – go after the spoilers if you wish, but please don’t make them public on this forum. I, for one, would rather not know!
Can’t wait for the recap – it is cold in Texas today, so maybe she’s got mittens on and can’t type.
Is Megan’s kid’s name TOM SAWYER???
I just have to say that Melissa was not alone on the whole scarf/tank/t-shirt issue!
When they took the girls to show them the house and they were all in jeans and tanks and t-shirts FIVE of them were wearing scarves! Tragic Steph, Natalie, Naomi, Jillian and Molly were ALL wearing lightweight scarves, Melissa was not. Obviously she jumped on the bandwagon later…either that or ABC has a scarf sponsor and the intern was handing them out!
It’s something Saywer….dang; can’t remember….I’m thinking Duncan Sawyer….
I’m only about 1/2 way through the comments as I just watched last night and am so glad two of my favorite moments have already been brought up:
1) “obvious qualities” good TV; it was toward the end so hubby was home and laughed hysterically at it as well, he believes it will make The Soup this week and that is how I judge hilarious TV
2) the mother / daughter beach collision! That poor little girl, she probably has a concussion! Too bad she hit her shoulder instead of one of her over inflated boobies; she could have just bounced back from that one!
Can’t wait for the recap. I’m somewhat grateful its not up (dont’ throw things yet) only because I’m so busy today at work I shoudn’t waste any more time with such obsessions but cannot stop myself!
No one has mentioned the “best thing for Ty right now is to be with his mom” scene…they do share custody…wonder what his ex is thinking about all this! Does anyone else get the impression that the ex left to be a wild child and have fun? He is asking things like are you ready to settle down kind of questions?
I saw in a couple of places on the web that Charlie and Sarah got back together late in 2008 and are planning to be married. Has anyone else heard that?! Somebody in this franchise needs to get married soon or they might as well change the name to “The Perpetual Bachelor!”
I think the kid with two names was Deacon Sawyer.
Whoever mentioned that Nikki looks like Michael Jackson, I hadn’t noticed, but wow.
Teegan Sawyer is Megan’s kid’s name, I believe. I don’t know why she has to call him both names.
I am liking Melissa and Jillian so far.
Naomi = not my fave.
I am needing these girls to put on a bra or some kind of support when they are in their evening gowns. LIFT UP THE GIRLS!
Reading comments again this morning waiting for the recap. I have a few answers and comments:
Mary and Fisherman are still together…they just seem to have a tumultuous relationship.
I also read that Charlile and Sarah are planning to get married….tried to break up, but just couldn’t stay away from each other!
I love the FORT but would never spoil it for those who don’t want to know!
Meagan’s son’s name is Deacon Sawyer
Jason definitely has a type. Has anyone seen a pic of his ex-wife? She is a very pretty girl….but one or our contestants looks like she could be her twin…and I think Jason really likes her. That is scary…he needs to be sure to pic the right girl for him and TY, not just because she is a clone look-a-like of his ex-wife.
I think Jillian is pretty, fun and mature, but she just doesn’t seem to “fit” Jason.
I totally agree with the poster that said Stephanie seems like a real sweetheart of a person but doesn’t fit well with Jason. You are right; she needs a professional businessman city type.
Natalie is a blonde bimbo and needs to go home—sorry, I know that’s harsh!
Kari—again, agreed with whoever said “Kari who?”….we don’t see much of her.
Erica—-yea, total WT—so, I’m apologizing a lot these days….I know that was harsh too….sorry! One more thing on Erica, –and I rewound several times–I believe she said she was cheated on in the past–and I quote— “and SHE was 52″! Did I hear that right?
I guess that’s it for now. Can’t wait for your recap Lincee!
I cannot wait for Lincee’s recap…based on everyone’s comments here we are in for another great one!
Just a couple of things I noticed…don’t remember who said it above but when Erica was flashing her boobies around she was also sitting with her legs uncrossed and in her super short dress you could definitely see up there if you tried. Stay classy.
Nikki really must not care that her boobs have stretch marks b/c they out for everyone to see…all the time. My roommate and I kinda think she resembles Sandra Bullock, minus the sideburns of course.
I really like Jillian…she seems so much more intelligent than lots of the other girls…and I love in Chris Harrison’s blog that he talks about her not shaving her legs before the pool party…too funny.
Really like Melissa too…she seems pretty down to earth compared to some of the others and esp for being from Dallas. And I personally liked the tank/scarf combo…quite popular in North Texas these days.
Molly made my not so great list by stealing Jason away from Megan…hate the girls that do that when they already have a rose.
Did anyone else not notice (or maybe I missed it) that Stephanie’s horribly tacky 80′s prom dress was like 5 sizes too small and she was pouring out of the top? YIKES! Still like her though.
Favorite part of the night was definitely the fashion show at the end…I love when they show the girls having fun outside of the dates.
I think that Nikki looks like Fran Drescher from The Nanny.
Anyone else?
I think Tragic Stephanie has a wonderful voice and charm, but she is was high maintenance! All those accessories – she also seems to do more changes of clothes, everything she does seems calculated. He needs someone fun, loving and thoughtful…
Kari is the one that did that embarrassing poem at the cocktail party…I think she is seems sweet and not too concentrated on the limelight. She may get the friend card.
I like Melissa, but is she too good to be true? I totally get the Mandy Moore reference!
I agree – Nikki looks like Sandra Bullock a bit. I like her but this situation is not putting her at her best!
Whoever first mentioned it, I totally noticed that they had to edit Erica’s nip as the top of her dress kept falling away from her. I actually noticed it a few different times!
I won’t read the spoilers on FORT, but from what I remember of the finale teasers, Melissa’s hand looked a lot like the hand of the F1. So she’s my #1 pick at this point.
Four things:
1. I love this blog! Last week’s recap killed me. Can’t wait for this week’s.
2. I love Chris Harrison. I wish we could see more of his real personality on the show. I really love when they show him in the out-takes towards the end of the season.
3. I love Jason! I think he’s the best Bachelor yet.
4. Jillian is my girl! A real, down-to-earth, Canadian gal just like me. Go Jill!
this has probably been mentioned but does it make anyone else crazy that the bachelorettes think that Jason planned the dates? like when he took them shopping and naomi was all excited that he was treating them to new clothes. I dont think jason pulled out his credit card at the end of the shopping spree. they should be thanking ABC. it just drives me nuts when they get all excited about jason planning these outings.
#129 I agree. Jason made that clear at the group date. He said this is my style (meaning laying around the pool doing nothing and spending no money). What does he do anyway? I forgot.
#130 I’m not sure what he does, but I do know where he lives in Kirkland (I’m from Kirkland)…not to come off stalkerish like one of our bachelorettes:) He lives in a little apartment on the poorer, older side of town…definitely not where the money is. If any of the girls are gold diggers they will definitely be in for a big surprise!!
what is the thing about the FORT and the spoliers? is that a website? go jillian!
#133, Read post #89 if yoiu want the web address to the spoilers page for the Bachelor..happy reading~!
how has information on FORT come to lincee’s comment blog??? NOOOOOO. i love reading what everyone has to say (they are just too funny) but i just don’t want it spoiled by FORT.
thank you aggiefan: “I love the FORT but would never spoil it for those who don’t want to know!”
Lincee, I’m dying for the recap. I held off on visiting the site until I watched Monday nights episode last night.
I love, love, love Jillian. She seems very sincere and playful. She also seems like the kind that could just hang out with the guys and drink a beer…or dress up and go out on the town…or play with Ty. She’s got a stable (and sweet!) job and a lot going for her. It did crack me up when she said something like, ‘Get ouuuut,’ in her Canadian accent, when they got to the Robin Thicke concert (seriously? Robin Thicke? I thought that was random). The accent reminded me of Robin (from How I Met Your Mother) impersonating a Canadian accent. Very funny.
I also really like Melissa – didn’t like her at first, but I think that was me having a stereotype of this Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, but she seems to be very down to earth.
Love Nikki (Sandra Bullock) and Naomi (Eva Mendes). Didn’t think I was going to like Nikki after all the pagentry talk, but she’s very cool. Stephanie is so sweet and too nice. She needs to be a little more forward and lose some of the make-up. She deserves someone great. I don’t think Jason will pick her, but I hope she finds someone very special.
Lauren – yeah, what was up with her comment about wanting to be picked, but glad she wasn’t picked. She’d have to wear her hair curly instead of straight. NO WAY could she get ready in that short amount of time.
Um, hello…if Jason told me I had to shower, shave and get ready in 10 minutes, by God I’d do it with 5 minutes to spare. You’re entirely too high maintenance…
My husband watched with me last night and he can’t wait until next week already. It’s so funny to hear his perspective because when I was talking about Shannon being a stalker, he was like, ‘He has to keep her around. I mean, she’s cute. She may be a bit stalker-ish, but if he has a chance to kiss just one more girl, he’d rather her be cute than someone like Lisa…’ Horse teeth and all, I guess.
And, as for the scarf and tank top thing… I’m 29 years old and I never really understood it, either, but I tend to wear my scarf all day long in the winter. Granted, I wear it with a sweater or whatever – but then again, I don’t live in California. The trend was picked up from Hollywood celebrities wearing it…just like the whole Ugg craze. Or tapered leg jeans with ballerina slippers. Also, side pony tails. I have to admit, I love the low side-pony. My husband loves it, too.
Can’t wait until next week!!!!
Aggie Fan:
I rewatched Erica’s “cheated on” blurb a couple of times and finally figured it out — I think she was saying that her man had cheated on her with a 52-year-old woman. Apparently, he was mauled by a cougar!
Waiting impatiently for Lincee’s recap…
Out of all the bitches on this show I’m sure I’ll grow to love to hate over the next few weeks, I am shocked that I so far may dislike Naomi the most. She was just so super lame begging Jason to kiss her just because she saw Molly kiss him. (And yes, THAT kiss was lame and forced and humiliating, too. But you don’t follow that up by copying it exactly only even worse.) I just don’t like Naomi.
Of course, then we have….
Natalie, who set feminism back half a decade with the mothership comment;
Erica’s impressive display of outlandish bitchiness (I totally agree that Megan was actually trying to confront another woman in *gasp* a direct, mature way!);
Shannon’s total readiness to be a mother thanks to her three pregnant friends;
Lauren’s pageanty self-centeredness;
Melissa, who apparently hasn’t even been on a date in 3 years so of course is TOTALLY ready to get married and be a stepmother;
Molly, who I swear to god actually said “wanna see my special talent? I’m a really good kisser!” kill me now;
Stephanie, who seems super sweet, real, kind, and generous…but who in the end will get the shaft because she just doesn’t look 25;
and Nikki, who blew me away by not only having boobs that were marvels of nature, but by ALSO having sideburns of such architectural triumph that I am now & forever speechless.
Thank you, ladies. You shock and humiliate me.
Great post as usual Lincee!! Totally hilarious!
Last night’s show was great! I am really liking Jilian too. She just seems to have a “quality” that really sets her apart from the other girls.
I think Stephanie is a sweetheart, but I just don’t think J is into her. Too bad because she seems like she would be a nice mom for Ty and I can’t help but think he would be a good dad for her little girl.
Nikki seems mature as well, but I was really put off by her manly sideburns at the Rose Ceremony. I was cracking up when Jason was talking about her “obvious qualities” (read big boobs).
You are right – the Bachelor is BACK! Whoo Hoo!!!
Shopgirl
THANK YOU! I was thinking Erica swings both ways….ha ha ha!
I saw a video on YouTube where a guy (yes, I said a GUY) says he’s figured out who gets the final rose & the fat a** diamond!! Here’s his theory: they show sweet Jason kneeling down in the previews for the finale. The girl reaches her right hand up to touch him. You can see a gold pinky ring on her hand. Who wears a pinky ring?? MELISSA!! I guess we’ll see. I like her, but don’t know if she’s ready to be a mom or not. I really like the hot dog girl… I do really hope she doesn’t do the side pony tail again though– that was horrid!
)~ Can’t wait for tonight!
hey guys i know that dress the hotdog girl wore on the Robyn thicke date and the zipper is actually part of the design …. its a “wifred” dress from Canadian “Aritzia” i have the same one and everyone loves the zipper !
Well, I found myself searching the ladies hands Monday night… I saw that Stephanie ALSO wears a gold pinky ring. What are the odds? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m so glad that he got rid of Spray Tan Natalie. “I like bears.” WTF? She couldn’t carry on a conversation w/ him. Sad– buh bye! Then she throws others under the bus? What a biah. What’s up w/ Shannon the stalker having to throw up? I was entertained the whole show & can’t wait until next week’s rose ceremony!
