B-O-R-I-N-G!
I’m never going to get that 1.4 hours back. (DVR time)
My favorite part was when Our Host Chris Harrison takes us down memory lane at the end. You know…to remind the viewing audience of all the stuff that happened 10 minutes prior to his arriving at Jason’s floating boat house.
Hey ABC…this show does not have enough material to fill two hours. Stop torturing us.
I’m going to start a group on Facebook asking ABC to let Chris Harrison do stand up. Because that would be more fun than writing a recap.
What was your favorite part of the night? Discuss below as I try to come up with SOMETHING clever to write about last night’s snooze fest.
Recap coming up.
Agreed that it no longer needs to be 2 hours long. Not only have all the crazy ladies gotten the boot, the ones that are left get along really well, so we have no drama. And let’s face it, that’s what we all watch for. Looking at previews, Naomi’s mom might be a little nuts, so next week could be a little better. Other than making fun of the scarves (again!) and Jason’s flannel shirt, it was definitely a snooze fest!
Totally boring!!! Last night after the show, I was thinking to myself “now what in the heck is Lincee going to write about??!!??”
I only watched the last 10 minutes…will watch it all tonight. DId anyone notice that once Jason gave Naomi her rose (Yuck…I can’t get past her huge mouth), he was totally staring at ‘Steph’ the entire time he was hugging Naomi? He wasn’t paying a BIT of attention to Naomi. I had to rewind to watch it twice. Naomi is next to go I’ll bet. He was not into her at all.
I want to know what Naomi’s giant tattoo is of on the back of her shoulder. I hadn’t noticed it until the rose ceremony last night but it looked HUGE!
What is up with Jillian? She threw me for a loop last night. I did not see the whole “I’m on this for the adventure” thing. I think she might be next to go if she doesn’t pull it together. And I realized last night that Jillian has a HUGE nose. Once I realized that, I couldn’t look at anything else when she was on screen.
Next week will provide a ton of entertainment: from Jillian’s crazy granma to Naomi’s wacked-out mom, to Melissa busting out with the fact that her parents won’t be making an appearance (which, as a side note, is rather hypocritical since Mel was telling Jason how he’d get to meet them at her home-town date). Even Molly’s home-town date looks a bit weird.
Just bring back DD already so at least we can have something dramatic to watch.
OK, so it was boring….but there were things to ponder….”like” why did Jillian overuse that word…maybe because it’s a Canadian thing…..why doesn’t Melissa know that cream deodorant became taboo in the seventies, especially with sleeveless shirts….why doesn’t Molly own a hairbrush that works….include Melissa in that quandry too….and OMG, Naomi…where did she conjer up the idea that a sprayed and flatironed three inch strip of hair hanging down the right side of her face was becoming….that wasn’t just a stray batch of hair…that was intended to be there…..and that get-up she had on at the rose ceremony…..it looked like a satin maternity top with a black triple-knit pencil skirt…..I’m done with Molly and her Lauren-esque attitude…and Naomi and her whiny-butt self can take a hike also….looks like next week will be a little more entertaining…..burying a dead dove, a depressed relative (nothing to laugh at incidentally),no-show parents, and a two hundred and plenty pound grandmother with roseasia (not sure how to spell those high-flalutin’ medical terms)…can’t wait for the recap….Lincee, if you don’t have enough material, just make it up….I need my Tuesday Laugh Out Loud…..
AB — did you notice Mel’s tattoo last night? We got a peek of it when she was sitting on the couch, facing Jason, wearing her “stretchy pants”.
I totally agree! Booooorrrrring.
I think Jason’s last minute coffee date with Jillian and last minute convo with Naomi was just to give him piece of mind when choosing to pick them. I think he clearly wanted to keep Molly and Melissa, and didn’t really know who else to keep but he knew he had to hand out roses or OHCH would have killed him. So basically he just tossed a rose to Jill and Naomi because he didn’t want to continue hurting stephanie.
But I bet if the option was available, he would have chosen to only keep Melissa and Molly. Melissa is so obviously the front runner after the at-home date.
Tina— Mel definitely had a tramp stamp!
Last night was the quiet before the tsunami.The one minute preview of next week’s disaster home date will provide you with plenty of material.We learn that Jillian’s mother has suffered from years of depression(this may explain J’s manic(hot dog quiz)/ depressive(weepy in Seattle) state. Her grandmother is going to kidnap and marry her off to a kossack. Naomi’s Bride of Frankenstien mother officiates over the funeral of a dead crow. Jason kneels in shock, looks at Naomi,and to quote that famous poem vows “Never More”.
Has anyone else noticed that Melissa somehow ends up in Jason’s lap everytime they’re alone together? Even next week when they’re on their little “you’re not actually going to meet my parents” picnic. I knew Stephanie was going and that’s fine, they weren’t right for each other but I just can’t get on anyone’s bandwagon. At this point Jillian in the least annoying in my opinion.
#7 – you mean the tramp stamp? Yeah, caught it. Somehow it seems a bit of a disconnect from her persona.
Tina – I totally agree. Even my husband said, “This is getting really boring.. when is Deedah supposed to return? Wasn’t she supposed to come back?” *L* Hubby and I are on-board the Molly Train after last night.
Oh – one radio show this morning aired the ‘farewell’ conversation between Jason and Stephanie, and commented that it sounded like a car crash scene in a soap opera, where one lover is saying his farewells to the other as she dies… *giggling*
#9 and #12 — I refuse to call it a tramp stamp because I just adore Mel and I just can’t call her a “tramp” (besides, my sis has a tatoo there, as well, and well…i don’t think she is a tramp).
The best part was when Melissa blurted out, “So can I wear my stretchy pants?” on the phone with Jason. And then we see the actual stretchy pants, which were not the long, soft, cozy-comfy pants *I* would be excited about wearing…instead, they consist of 3 inches of loose, grey spandex. With lots of tanned legs poking out from underneath.
Am I the only one who wants to see Stephanie as the next Bachelorette? My roommate and I cried. We just adore her.
I noticed Melissa’s “tramp stamp” too, but my husband (who yes, also watches the show) thinks it was her microphone box thing.
The best was that Stephanie couldn’t show expression during the rose ceremony- too much Botox! It was like a deer in headlights. Loved her dress, though!
I didn’t pay super close attention last night since it was dragged out… especially since the spoilers say that it’s Melissa who wins.
Swingmonkey – I teared up, too. I just loved Stephanie and to see the other girls tear up at her leaving was rough. Everyone teared up…well, except for Molly. She was trying her hardest to act sad, but there was not one ounce of sympathy radiating from her icky face.
The show was boring without the crazy-ladies, but still some classic moments. The “stretchy pants”…puh-lease. I would have been more comfortable in her dress with that metal horseshoe digging into my boobs. The girls holding hands? What’s up with that? And the “make-your-own-hot tub”? 2 girls in bikinis in a bubblebath with 2 others, who obviously couldn’t fit in the hotel tub, sitting on the toilet? You would think the ABC intern could have found a hotel in Seattle with a legit hot tub. And why did the girls agree to the staged set-up? Stephanie describing her sexual style as kissing a man on every square inch? That gave me the creeps (and I think Jason too). And as my husband commented during the Rose Ceremony…why was Stephanie wearing the curtains? Too many other fashion faux pas and make-up disasters to comment. These girls need some stylists (and hair brushes).
Wow Stephanie really impressed me last night – hands down one of the classiest contestants I’ve ever seen on this show. I bet that the producers (for the first time in bachelor history) actually went easy on her in the limo and didn’t poke and prod her like they usually do on these exit interviews (you wouldn’t BELIEVE how dirty they are in the exit interviews!).
Bravo Stephanie!
I did miss Stalker Shannon last night. She was great for a laugh. There aren’t any nutsos left really. hahaha *Reminicing on snot rags, electric toothbrushes, and knowing Jason’s birth certificate by heart*
Thank you so much “Aunt B” for pointing out the ridiculous hair last night!! WHAT UP with Molly’s birds nest in the back of her hair??? Does she not look in a mirror?? And someone needs to tell Naomi that the “fallen down” look is NOT working for her! Her hair looked ridiculous!!!
I agree…last night was a bit of a snooze-fest. I think they should have made them all Jell-o wrestle in a blow-up kiddy pool for the final 4 roses. You know Ty has a kiddy pool they could have used and the ABC intern could have easily gone out to Sam’s and bought crates of Jell-o. That would have been funny. My money would have been on Naomi. She seems pretty wirey.
I think the stress is finally getting to Jillian…and is it just me? Or is her Canadian accent becoming more pronounced?
And what was up with Naomi’s hoodie last night? Seriously??? If your hair is that dirty or gross…don’t pull your hoodie up…just do what everyone else does and put it in a side pony tail!
Lincee…my advice??? Write your recap from the vantage point of…”If Lincee were the Bachelor Producer…how would last night have played out???” That will be far more entertaining than what truly happened.
That was a ‘tramp stamp’ 100%.
I hate to dump on Stephanie because she got the boot last night, but seriously, a graphic short sleeved t-shirt with a furry vest made out of the abominable snowman from rudolph and an unnecessary scarf…Who wears that? Not to mention her orange blush was driving me crazy…that might be the mary kay consultant in me coming out.
I know a lot of you love Mel but she seems so fake with “J.” Trying way too hard. What about that silver snake (?) thingy on her evening attire? Is that a “look at my chest” ornament or what? I also noticed the tat above her stretchy pants.
We need to have some major junk food eating rule for every time some one says “like” or “amazing”. Our boy, Melba, was the king of those last night!
Here’s the link to OHCH’s blog for those of you who are looking.
http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/02/chris-harriso-1.html
I noticed Naomi’s ginormous tat from the first night, but seriously, that violin chin is the only thing I see! I don’t think Melissa has a tat, I thought it was the box for her mic too.
I knew Stephanie was leaving, but I cried because she is a class act, and I hope she meets a wonderful man she can kiss all over!
Naomi’s mouth too…i just don’t dig it. I was actually hoping he’d buck a trend and vote off Naomi and keep Stephanie one more week
I have to rewatch last night as I missed some parts, but what was the big “drama” of the rose ceremony??? I didn’t get what was the big deal..but then again, maybe I just missed that good part!
Agree with you about Mel #26 , just can’t buy her as sincere.
Naomi, dahling – what’s up with the Flashdance sweatshirt and that Holy Cr*p outfit you wore to the rose ceremony? YIKES!
My guess, Jason LIKED Stephanie better than Naomi, but as a parent, he knew he shouldn’t keep her away from her daughter any longer than he had. Hope she’s the next Bachelorette.
I’m not really feelin’ any of them for him, but I’m thinking the best suited are Jillian or Molly.
Ever since Naomi heard Jason on the radio say that his best date so far was with Stephani, it seemed like Naomi wanted to hear Jason say that their date was the best date sooo bad that she kept telling him over and over that their date was the best date she’s ever had. Annoying. Is it me or is she starting to look a little manly? I realized that Melissa wanted Jason to see her in her dress, but she looked a little silly sitting there waiting for him in it when she could have changed.
Pineapple.
I heard there was a MAJOR shakeup in the final episode…. like jaw dropping insanity. has anyone else heard this?
I’m thinking he proposes to Melissa, then as he tries to break up with molly she tells him she’s preggo from the night in the tent
that would un-melba him for good
When is DeAnna coming back to the show?? I am sad that Steph was cut. She is so nice (I guess a little too nice) Molly needs to go – she is WAY WAY WAY tooo fake!!! I guess I am rooting for Jillian. She is the only one (I think) who is taking this serious. The other girls are just a little too fake for me and not serious!
I enjoyed the following…4 out of 5 girls in t-shirts/tank tops and SCARFS!!!!, Stephanie’s white fur vest thingie, Stephanie’s Falcon Crest 80′s high hair do’s, Stephanies “I just want to make sure that I take care of my man’s every need – I like to kiss his body all over” (seriously – I puked a little in my mouth), Melissa’s tan lines, Melissa’s weird metal thing in between her small saggy bobbies on her black slinky dress, Melissa’s pony-tails as “dressy up-do’s”, Melissa’s stretchy pants which were short shorts, Melissa’s pouty, pursed mouth, Molly’s lack of effort to look good – on her date (piece of hair on her forehead), at the rose ceremony (wet rag), Naomi cry baby, Naomi and her huge Jay Leno jaw, Stephanie and that fake phone call with her daughter, Stephanie and wanting to see her dead husband in heaven (who says that)…it felt like 2 hours at 8pm – boring…but next weeks hometown dates look great – Jillian’s mom had depression, Naomi’s crazy mom wants to bury a dead bird and her sister wants to chop off its head, Molly’s parents may not like Jason and she will not be with anyone her parents don’t like and Melissa’s again short shorts and only meeting her best friends cuz her parents are embarrassed she is on the show. Good luck Lincee but I am anxiously awaiting anything you have to say!
Just one more thing…I did NOT like Shannon (the tooth natzi) but I missed her last night! She gave me LOTS of good laughs!!
PS — can’t believe no one has said anything about Naomi’s hair at the rose ceremony. UGH! It was a ponytail in a ponytail — you know…what you do to your hair at the gym or when you are at home bumming it. NOT what you do to your hair when you want the guy to pick you!
did anyone notice how PUT OUT mel was when jason called & told her there was a change of plans?!? even at the prospect of going to spend a “real” night w/ jason (and potentially ty) – she seemed perturbed that her “fantasty” date was a no-go. she needs to suck it up & realize jason puts more stock/importance on nights at home w/ ty! blah.
#20 – totally agree about the hotel tub freak show. did you notice how jillian had a bubble beard and was still wearing her sunglasses? NICE!
Poor Jason. He had to get rid of Stephanie before the home-town dates. Since there is no chemistry there, he couldn’t meet the family THEN send her packing. As a result he was trying so hard to mesh with Naomi and give himself a reason to keep her. BLECH! Even the private convo he had with Naomi right before the rose ceremony didn’t look comfortable. He couldn’t bring himself to kiss her, even when she stopped him before the door and went in for it! She looked terrible during her one-on-one. I mean, she must have CHOSEN to wear that outfit and hair-dont.
He really seems to dig Jillian, Melissa and Molly, but Molly bugs me and Jill is starting to look uncomfortable with all of this. I think chemistry will lead him to pick Mel, and she desperately wants it, but I think “real life” with Jason and Ty will be a cold bucket of water for that girl.
Someone with Tivo, please let me know if that was Mel’s audio box or a “tramp stamp.” My hubby and I saw it differently.
Just a couple of hings…..all of her accessories and tacky taste aside, Stephanie was the most gracious and lady-like bachelorette ever. Hats off to her, she really seems like a lovely woman. I’m sure all of Alabama’s pinky-ring and stetson wearing fat-cats are itching for her to get back so they can spoil her rotten and she will have her pick of who she’ll get to call “big daddy.” Big Daddies need love to and Stephanie deserves all the love her heart can handle. Melissa’s dress with the snake was pretty on its own, but ill-fitting and unflattering on her. She is my favorite, but if I may offer her a suggestion…if you think you might be meeting the-guy-you-r-dating’s three-year old for the first time…dress appropriately. No evening gowns, no invisible shorts. Naomi…I just don’t like her. I don’t like her chin, her clothes, her hair, her walk, her voice, her giggle, her substitution of kisses for conversation, her weepiness, her…..well i guess that is it. Molly seems like an amped up stepford-wife, but I fear she may have no soul. All that talk about not dating anyone her family didn’t love….well, substitute scientology cult for family and I think we will be on the right track. And Jilian (‘s nose)…now that Stephanie is gone she seems like the last grown-up left, but she does look a little bored for someone who is supposed to be on an adventure.
#31…LMAO
Did anyone notice that Jason seemed either shocked or a little turned off by Naomi when she mentioned she would want to adopt a child? Either there was no mention of having a child or it was edited out.
I like bears!
I can’t stand Molly, she was totally fake crying at the end when the other girls were geuinely upset that Steph was leaving.
Wow, Lincee, darling, your blog comments seem to be a runaway train! I laugh at your recaps and also the comments. I even pick up on a few new terms like “tramp stamp”. Thanks for the fun everyone, you really add to the experience. I have to watch the recorded episode again, as I have to admit I snoozed a bit… It was a sleeper indeed. Sleeper in Seattle…
I do miss Shannon because I liked that she didn’t care (much) about how she looked…and she was pretty funny.
#20 Allison: LOL to everything you said!!
Poor Stephanie, as lovely as she is, just never seemed to fit in with the group. I would also love to see her as the next Bachelorette–or Shannon!
It seemed as if Our Host Chris Harrison almost had to hold Jason up as he told the girls to say their goodbyes??? Did his knees buckle a bit, or was that my eyes deceiving me???
Although the drama is more entertaining, and I totally get why everyone found this episode so boring, I really enjoyed not having many moments of tension coursing through my body, very little cringing and no hiding behind pillows. It was a relief for a change.
) I was especially impressed with how well the women all seem to get along! They seemed very bonded by the time they filmed the rose ceremony (at least in comparison to prior seasons). From my perspective – though it might lessen the drama – I think it is telling of what great choices Jason has made. He really ended up with a bunch of women who are – for the most part – pretty darn nice!
The biggest train wreck last night IMHO was Stephanie’s gawd-awful furry vest-thingie. BLEEECCCHHH! Awful (espec with the maxed-out-blingie “jewelry”). Very classy woman with questionable taste.
I also couldn’t believe that somehow they talked 2 girls into putting their bathing suits on and sitting in a hot tub while 2 girls perched on a toliet seat to keep them company. Bizzaro!
I thought the cancelled date was too staged to make it believable. If your kid begs you not to go to work, you just help with the transition to the babysitter (which I never saw) and make a quit exit instead of prolonging the drama with asking — are you sure you don’t want me to go?—over and over. Plus, it’s one thing to cancel a date at the last second and it’s another thing to call 30 minutes late to cancel it. When he knew he wasn’t driving to the date site prior to the set time, he knew it wasn’t going to happen. He should’ve called then. He could still be lying in bed spending time with his child. Does he not have a cordless phone? Plus, by the time she got to the house, her son was already asleep. They could’ve had a plan B date then…but still no babysitter in sight.
#38
I know for a fact its a tattoo…I have seen it in real life.
Ummmm…. A trip around Seattle on a sea plane…$100 an hour …..Indoor rock climbing…..$30 an hour ….a romantic evening (complete with fondue..) in front of a campfire at Bass Pro Shops….. PRICELESS…!!
#47 – you did like that rabbit fur vest? I remember a lot of girls in my 4th grade class (back in the 70′s) having the same one!
Amen, sister! I was mad I stayed up that late to watch it on DVR, but glad I didn’t sacrifice going to the gym for that…because I’d rather torture myself by running an extra 3 miles than sit in my apartment so bored that I want to stick an ice pick in my eye!!! No wonder they are bringing DD back soon…even the crew and the ABC intern were getting bored with Mr. Melba Toast.
#49
NICE! That’s classy, fo’ sure! Jason seemed like a mid life crisis dude with the one on one conversations he was having with the girls. That was sort of painful to watch!
jkss – DETAILS ABOUT MEL, Pleeeeeeaaaassse!
1) Jason’s safety word/action is “let’s make out”. Everytime the conversation gets dull or one of the girls says something stupid, he just starts a kiss fest all over their face!
2) Did anyone notice Jason give OHCH a death stare while Steph was telling the other girls goodbye and Chris asked Jason if he was okay? Hilarious!
3) Also, I found it entertaining to think that Jason’s house looks almost exactly like the “Sleepless in Seattle” house..Calm down with the movie references, ABC!
I think he cut Stephanie because she needed to go home to her child if she wasn’t going to be the one. and he knew she wasn’t the one.
after seeing the previews, i don’t think it will be Mel. If her parents won’t meet him (maybe they do it privately) he will see a major red flag. Family is too important to him.
So, at this point, I am going with Jillian.
Am I the only one who thinks Stephanie is creepy? The drawn-on eyebrows, the mafia rings on every finger, the overuse of Victoria’s Secret pajamas, the ever-present clown makeup… Ugh. And she’s way too old to be on the Bachelor. And I threw up in my mouth when she was talking on the radio about kissing her man all over. Ick. and Yuk. Her voice sounds like what a female serial killer would sound like. Good riddance!!!
Kristi – nope.. my husband and I both think Stephanie is just eerie. Way too bizarre to be real. She’s got a kind heart and her departure was impressive, but that soft, whispering voice, that weird kissing fetish she has, the clown makeup and permanently surprised eyebrows, combined with the Xanadu wardrobe…. ICK and YUK is right.
Is it just me or does Molly’s eyes totally bug out. I can’t stand it! She is so fake that I don’t see it going much further. I predict Melissa and Jillian in the final 2.
And yes……That was a “tramp stamp” Melissa had.
Oh….and I love how Naomi and J went to REI!!!! Really…come on.
As boring as the show was and as weird as Steph’s clothes were, I thought Stephanie was the classiest lady to ever leave Bachelor. She was gracious and so great to watch an exit that didn’t have to have every other word bleeped out. You go girl…
#46 Kendall — I thought Chris was going to put his arm around Jason for emotional support. OHCH is so sweet! I laughed at that whole scene and also got a little teary.
Everything is so fake!! The whole “canceled date” was set up from the word go. Jason does not live in that water house, no way. I picture him in a small, unattractive yellow ranch with a scraggly crabgrass yard and a tool shed out back with a wonky door. Not that there’s anything wrong with that..but I don’t think ABC thought these gold/fame diggers I mean “girls” would dig that.
Naomi needs to go NOW. Cannot. Stand. Her.
I do have a much bigger appreciation for Shannon. That girl was hysterical. Yes, she most definitely said some crazy things, and there’s no excuse for the snot, but I don’t believe for a second she was actually as crazy as we were made to believe. I think it took a lot of hard work on the producers’ end and she cracked under their pressure/manipulation.
Yes, the show is too too too long. You know it’s being stretched out beyond belief when 50% of it is either recaps or previews.
I backed up my dvr three times to watch how he was so concerned with Stephanie while he was giving Naomi her rose – it was like he just wanted Naomi out of the way. It is clear that he really respected Stephanie and didn’t want to lead her (and her daughter) on during a hometown date. Poor Naomi though, she is totally just along for the ride to fill that 4th spot, because there is clearly no interest there. If I were her I’d ask if I could just stay home with my family after the hometown date rather than traipsing back to Seattle for the rose ceremony charade.
LINCEE – Write something about Naomi’s stupid hood. I couldn’t understand why she was wearing that hood!? It made her head look pointy and I hated how she wore it so that her hair was still flowing out. And I am sure it was needed with that roaring fire in the background!! My 15-year old students wear hoodies like that…
First, I totally agree with #37 — Melissa was NOT happy one bit and wasn’t too successful at hiding it when her “real” date got cancelled. She did pull it together pretty quickly and figure out that wearing her “stretchy pants” might work to her advantage, but there was no hiding the fact that initially she was *pissed! lol.
Hmmm, what else? I love reading all these comments.
Stephanie. I really, really like her — she seems like a young Paula Deen or something, and I’d like to see her as the BAchelorette, too, but only if she’d let a stylist at her horrid makeup/hair/clothing choices!
And Naomi? For me it’s not as much her Jay Leno jaw or the giant mouth — it’s the gigantic pillow tongue that’s too big for said big mouth and big jaw …. it’s like she got a bee sting or something. Blech!
And it’s my first post here, and hopefully I don’t get hopped for saying this (and disclaimer: I have two small children of my own, so I’m not saying this from the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t have a kid), but what’s the deal with Jason’s son? He seems like he’s pretty much a brat, no? And he never, ever makes eye contact with Jason — when Jason was hugging him when he first got back home and he kept holding him out from him, trying to get him to look at him and he never would. Same with the scenes in the bedroom reading the book — the kid would never look at him.
Jason does not live in the water house. He mentions it in his blog…also, I was told last night who is the F1.. and she already moved to Seattle and they might already be married…. I heard from a reliable source that knows the girls x boyfriend.
My take: Naomi’s mouth is too big….
Loved Steph’s class, but the vioce and kissing talk was icky….
Mel seems a little to giggly and not too fond of the tat….
Molly is the prettiest(he thinks so too), but I am not sold on her
Jillian is my fav, but her nose is a little larger than I noticed before
All I am going to say about Melissa is that she is just not ready to take on the step-mom role. I just think once it gets to the real world, it will not work out. Shes fun and cute, but so not the one for him.
#65 – I don’t think anything weird is going on with Ty & Jason – obviously, there were a bunch of cameras in there filming them all and the 3 year old wasn’t as good at pretending to ignore them as the adults are. He’s clearly staring into the camera instead of looking at his dad.
I picked Jillian from day one, and now she’s the only adult left standing. I do have to admit, however, that passing up a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader would be a difficult thing for most guys to do! So we’ll have to wait and see. Molly is out, I think – no one who gets the winner edit at this stage is ever actually the winner. And Naomi? No way. So Melissa and Jillian, as it has been from that first night, I think. Which one gets chosen says more about Jason than about either of them – does he go with the adult, or the cheerleader?
Did anyone notice how after Melissa got the first date, Naomi spent the entire rest of that segment as well as anything aired during the Melissas date/non-date pouting? I definately feel Jason’s concern about whether she’d just up an walk out on him if the whim struck her to be valid. Nope. I sure don’t wanna see her as the final one. Please send her home next week!
Stephanie’s departure was by far the classiest and most mature I’ve ever seen. I could have done without the “seeing my dead husband in heaven” bit. That was just odd. The only person I’ve heard say something similar was my mom and she’s 80! I was totally icked out by Stephanie’s “kiss every square inch” revelation. And yes the fur vest was attrocious.
I agree the producers certainly could have come up with a REAL hot tub for the girls. The bathroom scene was just bizarre.
I think when Stephanie sees herself on the show she will definitely tone down the make up and botox and let her eyebrows grow back in. Yes, the “kiss her man all over ” talk is icky, and she has too much VS Pink loungewear, BUT, overall, she seems very sweet and real to me. . .and her body is ROCKIN!
The fact that the other girls on the show, except for GOOGLEY EYED MOLLY(I thought they would pop out of their sockets last night) were upset that she was leaving, really says a lot about what kind of person she is. Go Steph, hope you find another good man to love you and Sophia as much as I’m sure your late husband did.
A couple of things that gave me pause last night — Ty’s “bed”, the same one in the episode of Friends when Monica has the wrong bed delivered from Janice’s ex-husbands mattress store and Jason’s comment that he was glad the girls were getting along, as he’d asked them to. I wonder if, after last week, he threatened to not give a rose to anyone who couldn’t play nice with the other girls.
Regarding Ty’s behavior — I’m guessing he was just a little distracted by all the cameras and people around.
N, are you referring to Melissa as the proposed F1? If it is Melissa, I know for a FACT she has not married Jason she has most certainly not moved to Seattle. Was this a reliable source you heard this from? If so, I’m just really curious why they would have said that because it couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Yes — that’s a point that both of you have made that I did not really take into account for a kid that age, that probably the mess of cameras and sheer number of people and uproar would make a little kid act differently than they would in real life.
And darn, “N” now I want to know your F1 theory (of course I’ve read spoilers all over the place about who “they” think it is, but sometimes they’re wrong — Graham was spoilered to be the winner for Deeanna’s season, too.)
oops, my post is missing an “and” … meant to say I know for a fact she has not married Jason AND she has most certainly not moved to Seattle
Yes N! Please tell us who you think the F1 is!
I only saw the last segment of the show – sounds like it was a snoozer and a good one to miss. Canceled date with Melissa sounds like ABCs attempt to add some drama since all the nut bags are gone. But, I too felt last week that Steph was the next to go. She was a sweetheart, but there was nooooooooooo chemistry for Jason.
And yes, I too think Stephanie should be the next Bachelorette (after a stylist spends some time with her)! A Bachelorette over 30 would be interesting. Seriously, when I was 24 I was not looking for “true love” like 24 was the last chance…. F-O-R-E-V-E-R….for life life, little girls. LIVE LIFE before you settle down because forever is a long time….
With the drama queens gone (Megan, Erica, etc.) it just isn’t as fun. Shannon grossed me out though – she was just such a freak.
Molly – Don’t trust her, something is not right.
Melissa – Cute as bug, but not mature enough – AND the previews for next week where her family will not meet Jason – yeah, that could be a deal breaker (although I heard that Melissa wins the final rose????)
Jillian – Did not see much last night, so no real opinion there…
Naomi – I don’t get it except that ABC told Jason he could not NOT give out 2 roses – there is nothing there. He took WAYYYYYYY too long to give her that rose.
I am going to have to break down and get a DVR.
#66 N – where is Jason’s blog? We desparately want to read it!
Also, we’ve heard that OHCH has a blog. Anyone have that address?
#65 lmao! I couldn’t figure out what drove me crazy about Naomi. The chin and the mouth are obviously HUGE, but there was something else I just couldn’t put my finger on and you nailed it…..it’s not as much her Jay Leno jaw or the giant mouth — it’s the gigantic pillow tongue that’s too big for said big mouth and big jaw….very funny!! Ha Ha!
#59 I agree about Molly’s eyes and have thought that since day one. At age 24 she is too young for “a little work” so I wonder what is up with that. #65 I kind of thought the same thing about how Jason was talking to Ty at the park and Ty never looked at him. My son would have been used to cameras by that time and I am pretty confident that if I looked straight at my kid my kid would look straight back at me. The whole thing at the Sleepless house was staged and I am weirded out by Jason’s parenting.
Hey, let’s lay off Jillian’s nose. Let’s give her a HUGE shout out for keeping her face plastic surgery-free. I think Jason likes that about her. His is no tiny button and nothing is wrong with that.
I think it will be Jillian too. She does seems the most adult PLUS she is Jewish like J. That will make it J. and J in the end.
OHCH has a blog on ew.com. I don’t know where Jason’s is. But you could probably do a google search.
I like Jillian the best, but they need to kick up the romance a little more.
Melissa seems cute, but she’s 25- how could she be ready for a insta-family? If he did pick her, like so many people have read in spoilers, I don’t think they will last. She actually said (while she waited for him on their “date”) that she was “playing the role”, i.e cleaning up after Jason and Ty. PLAYING THE ROLE. She’s not ready. And the Bachelor/Bachelorette always says he/she is in love/engaged while promoting the show, but then a few weeks/months later they break up.
Molly- too young
Naomi- too young.
They are all too YOUNG!
I want one hour of my life back!!!!!! Damn ABC! They pre-empted Samantha Who (which is very funny) to show us two hours of stale melba toast, and girls that think baby talk is cute, and the best way to snag a man. GAG!!!!!! I seriously wanted to throw up every time Naomi opened her mouth last night, and seriously, what’s with the hoodie?
As many people have stated yes it is a tattoo on Melissa’s back. It says “True Love”, in case you were curious
Jason’s blog is tvwatch dot people dot com
How bored was I??? Let’s just say that I fell asleep before the rose ceremony and wasn’t too sad about it. These women are boring. I have to assume that when they all sit around for HOURS they discuss other topics besides Jason , which girl has chemistry with Jason, Jason and Ty, blah, blah, blah. Let’s here some discussion on politics or what TV shows they are watching … something. ABC should hire a celebrity interpreter like the GEICO commercials … now that would be entertaining. Otherwise I say they bring back the game “I Never” … at least Trashy Trish amused me.
Is there any chance he’ll pick DeAnna? And, when is she supposed to make her grand entrance? At this point, I don’t think any of these remaining gals are right for him.
And, am I the only one having trouble with bachelor/ettes that have kids? I just don’t like to see these kids without one of their parents for an extended period. Just don’t seem right…
#36 – LOL!! And Melissa keeps wearing her hair in the same two-ponytailed glam “updo” in every episode!! Makes you wonder if she’ll wear her hair like that if her & Jason get married!!
Naomi — NO MORE BABY TALK!!! PLEASE!!!!
loved steph, but i knew she was going this week. can’t say i was a fan of her feather vest. she is now known among my friends and i as “bird-woman”
Melissa, to answer your question about what the girls talk about…the producers are constantly egging them on to talk about one thing and one thing only…their undying love for Jason. The only other allowable topic is to talk about the other girls…and their undying love, or lack therof, for Jason. To the extent the girls talk about anything else it is definitely not aired – and they are reprimanded for doing so.
Both Melissa and Molly looked like they crawled out of the shower and threw their hair in the double pony tail last night, lol. And don’t even get me started on the hair in the face thing that Naomi was sporting. It’s been mentioned already, anyway. Jiminy. That’s just wrong. lol.
Tell me the “I Never” game? I wanted to do some sort of a drinking game where you take a shot every time anyone says “amazing” or “journey” but I was afraid I’d blow my liver up.
I don’t think he’d pick Deanna — and I’d think even she’d be embarrassed after two runs with the Bachelor/ette to pick yet a third guy? Who knows, though. I’m wondering what the jaw-dropping twist or whatever is supposed to happen at the finale is?
Yes, I do realize I spend entirely too much time thinking about this, lol.
I don’t know why all of you think 25 is too young. It’s not. By the time I was 25, I had sent my husband off to war for the second time. My sister had an insta-family at 23 and she’s been great at it and they are going on 6 years of being very happy. I don’t think these girls are too young. They seem to have done things and experienced things and had their fun. I think Jillian & Melissa are the best pick for him, I just don’t know if Jillian is convinced that he is the best for her.
What was with Naomi wearing that stupid hood indoors? …and then all of her hair hanging out the front of it? Also, Melissa’s dress for her date with J just confused me.
I was dying that he was on a nickname basis with all of girls: “Mol will you accept this rose”, “See ya Steph”, etc. He is so melba toast.
So… if you think back to episode 1 and the preview of the final rose ceremony, it’s a short (really short) girl in a blue dress with brown hair. I know Mel and Molly aren’t too tall, but they are taller than the girl appeared on that final episode preview. I think it’s JIllian he proposes to, for sure! Plus, she’s getting less footage… until last night and they are leading you to believe he’s got high doubts about her… just seems like prior seasons where they lead you to believe it’s one guy (Jason) and then it’s not… I’m just saying… It’s Jillian!
I feel like a meth addict refreshing the comment section of this blog! SO freaking FUNNY!! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get much work done……yikes!
Lincee, do you just laugh your a&$ off reading other people’s take on this crazy show?
did anyone catch Jason’s eye-rolling when Naomi said she wanted to adopt kids? Seriously – I had to rewind my DVR and watch it again – he totally did! it was like he didn’t believe her or something. And that was really smart of Naomi to talk about her mom abandoning her and then in the next breath talk about how alike she is to her mom! Wow – RED FLAG, anyone????? And yet he kept her around for another week. her family looks like fruit loops for sure – having a funeral for a dead bird? She has got to be history next week.
I like Melissa but what is up with her hair? The hairstyle at the rose ceremony was horrible. Why does she put those strange clips and crap in her hair like that??
I was glad Jason let go of Stephanie – it would have been cruel for her to introduce her daughter to Jason only to eliminate her in the next round. So at least he spared her feelings in that respect.
I think ABC is leaving out large chuncks of Jillian and Jason’s conversation – they seem to have a love connection yet the editors are making it look like there’s trouble in paradise.
PS: If you start a facebook group on giving OUCH his own stand-up routine – I’d join it.
#91 – I don’t think for some girls it’s too young at all. I was married at 22, although I didn’t have kids until I was 29, but I was way, way, *way more realistic about what exactly marriage was all about than these girls seem to be. I know when you’re first falling in love and all that it seems like you’ll just be one big Hallmark moment forever and ever, amen, but in reality it’s not like that, and especially when your Hallmark marriage is starting off with a child, an ex-wife, etc., not to mention the ridiciulous amount of press attention that would follow them around for at least a time, a time during which they’d be making some pretty major life adjustments, all of them. I think if they’re truly mature enough they realize that and understand that underneath all the giddiness and “I wanna be a mmoooommmeeee” chatter, but of the four girls left, it does seem like maybe Jillian is the only one who really does realize that. I like Melissa (or can I call her Mel, too? lol) but she seems (and of course I ‘know’ her only from what they’ve chosen to edit her as being on the show) like the “fun” of being an insta-mommy might wear pretty thin, pretty fast.
#95 — I’m a “refresh comments” addict too! haha Can’t wait for Lincee’s recap!
Jason would have ousted Steph and Naomi if ABC would have let him… but they need their 3 more shows. And to keep Stephanie and go to see Sophia again at the hometown would have been cruel to mom and daughter, so he did the stand-up thing. Naomi’s gone next week. Jillian still has a shot if she can break down her newly formed walls…
I am literally cackling out loud here. A meth addict refreshing the comments section describes me this morning, too, and it’s a good thing I work for myself or I’d have been fired by now!
#96 — Stephanie already introduced her daughter to Jason — remember the one-on-one date with the beach/birthday party/amusement park where they kept yanking the kid up by her arms to swing her every 5 seconds?
And I hope you’re right about them just editing Jason and Jillian to make it look like it’s less than it really is.
I laughed out loud at “Mel” walking into “J”‘s house and immediately picking up plates and toys and acting like she lived there.
Ugh. Scary to think she’s actually going to.
And the snake dress did nothing for her boobs. If she had a boob reduction shouldn’t she have at least had them put back up where they belong?
Naomi is GROSS!!!! Her mouth is weird and her tongue is enormous. Her hair is in her face, and what’s up with wearing the hood during her date? She acts like a teenager who has to be “entertained” in order to have fun. Jason, get rid of her!
Steph was out of Jason’s league anyway. Plus, no love connection there. I agree that her departure was the classiest one yet. Maybe, if she is a future Bachelorette, she could bring some dignity to the show. I doubt that she’d make-out with every eligible guy in every episode.
Molly’s eyes are googly. Yuck.
Melissa — nice tramp stamp. Also, push your sleeves up one time.
Jillian has weirded me out since the first hotdog night. That was just dumb. I think Jason really likes her, but she’s not that into him.
Would anybody else just feel goofy making out in the front window of a coffee shop?!?!? Normal people don’t do stuff like that!
I thought it was telling that Naomi said at least twice that their date was the best date of her life and all Jason could do was say something like “that’s so cool”. There are some people who are ready to take on a lot of responsibility at a young age and some who aren’t. Melissa and Naomi don’t strike me as young women ready for the sacrifice a life with Jason would require. I do think Jillian and Molly are possibly ready.
I find Jillian the most sincere and I’m still trying to figure out Molly.
You must ridcule the locale for the Naomi one-on-one date. Fondue and fire at a retail location??? Puleaze. And it was Naomi’s “best date ever?” Sad for her.
You must ridicule the locale for the end of the Naomi one-on-one date. Fondue and fire at a retail location??? Puleaze. And it was Naomi’s “best date ever?” Sad for her.
Does anyone else think Jillian looks just like AMY GRANT?!?
“Jason, Jason, I’m taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion
Jason, Jason, my tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean
Stop for a minute
Jason, I’m so glad you’re mine, yeah
You’re mine”
Hahaha… thanks for feeding my addiction with the refresh tip. I hadn’t thought of that!
LOL #106!
Actually, last night I was thinking she looked kind of like Sarah McLachlan.
#79 Michele — Well said. (re: Jillian’s beautiful, natural nose)
#91 ALPHA mama — It’s not just the number. THESE remaining girls (except Jillian) are too young. As in how they act and their personalities. Sweet girls. Not super mature.
All the sleuths who are way more sleuthy than me seem to think Melissa is the winner, and I wouldn’t be surprised…but I’m still holding hope out for Jillian.
Anyone notice that in a “coming up next!’ teaser they showed Jillian saying to Jason in the coffeeshop, “It has to be on my terms, in my time” and then they never showed it during the show? I like her…and this is also a good “strategy,” if one has a strategy…worked for Tessa.
Of course, every single word anyone ever says on this show is so spliced and diced you can never tell what anyone really said, anyway.
Ok how come there is no talk about what Jason said when he took Jillian to the coffee shop. “If one of these girls would hurt me it would be Jillian”
Ok so we all know Jason is not into Stephan and Naomi but Molly and Mel are just too head over heels or head strong not to do everything Jason asks? Just thought it interesting, did anyone else catch that?
That was a tatoo on Melissa. I noticed it when she was in the pool on another episode.
I didn’t see Stephanie with Jason but thought she was one classy lady.
And for all of you that have heard who he propeses to, go to the FORT website. Don’t ruin it for the people on this site! I have read the predictions and think they are dead on, but I respect the ones that don’t want to know. Let’s keep it clean ladies!
#106 – LOL!!! Baby Baby (Amy Grant song) is playing on the radio right now!!!
Interesting, I thought it was a reliable source. Guess not…. from you previous post, I am guessing you are a bit of an insider so….. how do you know these FACTS? Do tell!!!!!
Thanks Fly on the wall!
I don’t even know where to start – there is so much.
Naomi – I think he would have sent both her and Stephanie home if ABC would have let him. The first week, I thought she was so pretty, but every week she looks more manly to me – all about the chin/mouth area. She whines too much, and seems the least mature of all the remaining girls, which is validated by Stephanie saying so in a very kind/non-trash talking kind of way. Their date sucked. She just kept kissing him, and doing baby voices, and what she revealed of her past should make him run for the hills. THIS IS THE BEST DATE EVER!. I think her hair was annoying even Jason. There was one point where he grabbed the big piece in her eyes and shoved it behind her ear – I could imagine him thinking, “NOW I can see your face. Finally.” She is gone next week. Also, did anyone else notice she kind of waddled off to talk with Jason at the rose ceremony. I think her skirt was too tight.
Jillian – I think she is his final pic, and they are playing around with the editing to show trouble on the horizon. She seems real, and honest from what we are allowed to see at least.
Molly – I still can’t peg it…but I don’t like her. He obviously does though. Best kisser. I don’t think there will be any problem with her family. Please brush your hair. The messy ponytail is getting very old.
Stephanie – classy classy lady. Broke my heart when she said she could tell the spark wasn’t there. I don’t think she let herself fall for him though. She is just too grounded and sure of herself. I was a little creeped out by her sexual revelation though.
Melissa – She used to be my favorite, but has started to irritate me. Just a little too bubbly. The tramp stamp really dropped her in my book too! I think they have some major attraction going on though.
That is a tatoo on Melissa’s back. I noticed it in an earlier episode when she was in a bathing suit.
If you want to talk about who you heard is the winner please stay on the FORT site and don’t ruin it for the ones that want to learn more week by week. Let’s keep it clean girls!
I totally agree that Melissa was NOT happy about the change in plans! Also, the one on one date with Naomi by the fire place… eating the fondue.. actually in a sporting goods store? unbelievable! I just feel a little creeped out that this guy has decided to keep all the young hotties around – how old is he anyway?
Nashville — seriously, and I don’t mean this bitchy at all, but anytime you hang out on a message board/blog/whatever that’s talkign about a reality show you’re going to be reading some speculation. And really, that’s all it is — just speculation. We have just in this bunch of comments alone someone saying that it is without a doubt *not Melissa, and someone who intimated just as strongly as it was. So who’s spoilering? It’s just all in fun, and I don’t think you’re ever going to have any luck trying to demand what someone chooses to say or control the speculation. Just my two cents.
The FORT board is fun, but it’s a little overwhelming in just the sheer volume of posts, if nothing else. They’re choosing one person for sure this season, but they were just as enthusiastically adamant with Dee-yawn-a that it was Jason that she chose and Jesse came in and blindsided everyone.
Oh, and a “tramp stamp” IS a tattoo — it’s the location of said tattoo that gets it called tramp stamp.
No matter how boring the episode was (bring back Shannon!), I’m still looking forward to your recap. Honestly, I don’t think ANY of the 4 girls left are ready to be wives, let alone an instant MOTHER. But who am I to judge? Can’t wait for your take on last night’s episode. I’m still rooting for Molly!
Can someone post the FORT site??
#118 – Why do you like Molly? I’m really curious because I can’t figure her out!
I don’t know how to link in this format, but just google “Fans of Reality T.V.” and you’ll find it. There’s a thread for The Bachelor – Jason Mesnick, and then under that a separate area that’s strictly for spoilers and speculations. Those people are *serious about their sleuthing — down to taking screencaps and making overlays of heads/clothes/etc. to try and figure out who is in the first or last limo at the Final Rose Ceremony, etc. They’re scary! lol.
#120 – I just do – can’t really pinpoint why. What do you mean by, “you can’t figure her out?” Actually, she and Melissa remind me a lot of each other, and both seem like two girls I’d be friends with! But like I said, I don’t think any of them are “ready” to be mothers like they say they are. I became one at 20 and it’s a life-changing event, to say the least.
Shoot, I think it’s a life-changing event, no matter your age and no matter how ready you think you are. At least for me, I was never around little kids or babies, so while I was “ready” in that I was in a good, stable relationship, financially we were ready, and emotionally we were both ready, we were “old enough” (whatever age that is) I don’t think either of us had a CLUE how it was going to change us forever. In a good way, of course, but still a big, big change. Life-changing is very true. And while I’ve never been a step-mom, I’d have to assume that’s life-changing, too, and for more reasons, and no, I don’t think either of them are ready.
Former Bach-ette….where are you with you insights today? Fly on the wall…..are you a former Bach-ette?
#123 – Robin, I totally agree!
Hey N!! You know, I typed out a whole response answering all the questions that were asked last week…and then I chickened out and didn’t post it – I know, I know, I’m terrible! I may post them soon though
Also, it’s super hard to give my thoughts because I know exactly how this whole thing plays out … all I can say is that I have yet to read one theory that is correct (and I have read most of them!). Just know this…it’s dirty with a capital D. I also have to say that if it all turns out like I think it will, Jason is going to be knocked down several rungs in my view of him. And don’t even get me started on those “lovely people” behind the scenes…
Oh, geez! You’re killing me! lol. Dirty with a capital D. Do post your response from last week! I don’t need to work, really, I can just live in my car! lol.
But you said you know exactly how it plays out, and then later you said “if it turns out like you think it will.” So do you know, or you don’t know for sure? And when it’s all over, can you say who you are? I just found this blog, so if all this has been answered before, I apologize!
(Oh, and Lincee, I love your blog recaps of the Bachelor — it’s funny and sarcastic, like TWOP used to be.)
Thanks for the reply Former Bach-ette! I understand your “proceed with caution” feeling, but…if at all possible, please do tell!
Interesting that the theories are not correct. ABC really does have us believing what they want us to…huh?
Glad to know there is still more drama to come, last night was a little more on the zzzzzzz side.
Off to actually work some today!
Omg, Lincee….I forgot about the beet…gross.. and it was dipped in chocolate! I just lmao reading the recapp. Thank you for making last night’s BORINGGGGGGGGGGG 2 hour episode worth watching. You are so funny!
Yes the rock climbing wall looked like a giant penis, with warty warts all over it! I’m in the gutter with you on that one……
Step is very nice……..but if Jason is Melba Toast she is paint drying! That would be the most boring season! I don’t think she can kick her heels up and have fun. She’s always so formal.
My fave ramdom scene from last night was…..hmmmmm…the ramdom hotel bathroom shot with Mel and Jill in the tub together and Molly and Steph perched on the potty
I cried at Stephanie leaving. Glad that she realized that Jason didn’t look at her the way he should if he was in love with her. Hope she finds a great man. (style faux pas aside, she has a heart of gold.)
also- ex-bachette and fly on the wall- love the inside scoop!! Thanks!!
#109 – Jillian did indeed say “It has to be on my terms, in my time” on the show but she wasn’t talking about their relationship or saying I love you or anything that the teaser would have lead you to believe. Instead, she was talking about how she would reveal her soft side / break down in front of Jason rather than being the strong one for the rest of the girls, but she would have to do son “on her terms.”
Did anyone else notice that they definitely didn’t eat the pastries at the coffee shop? I wondered if the coffee shop threw them in for free because if they had ordered them, I would have thought one of them would try theirs, but no. I was hungry and wish I could have a bit of what looked like an almond croissant.
And to all of you ladies who have said that Melissa sounds like Jessica Simpson – you are totally right. And Jillian / Amy Grant is a great call.
Lincee!!! OMG, leave it to you, sister, for making last night’s BORINGTON episode hilarious!! So happy that you also saw the REI rockwall as giant male JUNK!! All day I have worried (I know, get a life, for the love of Pete!!) about commenting on that without coming across as a perv to all of my fellow bloggers!! And thank you for helping me figure out how to spell “im-pour-ant”! Juh-HEEZE, that Naomi and her chin, “pillow tongue”, crotch shot on penis mountain, baby talk, etc.,etc., totally BUGS, and will surely be cut loose after next week!
As I said, a rather boring week without Shannon, but we take what we can get, from hair poufs and stretchy pants ( uhh, make that “panties”) to Ulta “gift with purchase” robes and Calgon bubble beards!!!
Oh, could someone please explain the “pineapple” reference?? Sorry to be so dense…haven’t been able to figure that one out!
Lovin’ the new Amy Grant lyrics!
mothercita………….”crotch shot on penis mountain”, freaking hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Former Bachelorette: Still there? Any other hints you can tell us?
Thought you’d appreciate this recent article in The Kansas City Star featuring our hometown hero, Shannon:
http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/story/1021141.html
See, she found her white knight after all. Now I just need to figure out how they always find the crazy ones here in my hometown. Hmmm…
