First off, let me say how excited I am to see all you spoiler-loving people chatting it up on the message board. I’m so glad I gave you a place to figure out what the heck is going on. And I’m so glad that I have been strong enough to NOT PEEK ONCE! Look at me and all my will power. Go Lincee…go Lincee…it’s your birthday…not really.
This is a reminder to please NOT put spoiler comments on this post. Use the “Peer Pressure” one from the previous week. And then it will be all said and done and we can go ahead and get on with our lives and how Dancing with the Stars will be our new obsession.
The “Women Tell All” episode is notorious for being a great big build up that results in a mediocre night of stuff we already knew or didn’t really care about.
Therefore, I’m going to keep with my WTA tradition and stick with what I do best. Making lists! Oh if I had a colored highlighter for every number, I would be a happy camper!
20 Most Memorable Discoveries/Moments of “The Women Tell All”
1. Witnessing Stalker Shannon’s Snotapalooza 2009 in great detail for a second time was just as disturbing as the first. The blowing of the nose. The picking of the nose. The bits of paper napkin remnants left on the nose. The wackadoo lick of the lips as she dives in for the mucus-layered kiss. It made my throat thick. Not necessary ABC. Not necessary.
2. Jason telling Our Host Chris Harrison that “all the clouds were aligning” when he arranged for little Sophie to be reunited with Stephanie on their date. Really Jason? The clouds were aligning? Perhaps you meant stars?
3. Jillian was not only personally handed the “friend card” by Jason, but was publically deemed as the ULTIMATE friend. Which brings us to…
Classic Hare Moment Number One
Jason: “Jillian is the ultimate friend.”
Hare: “Is that how you spend time with a friend in the hot tub?”
Jason: “There just wasn’t enough passion for marriage.”
Hare: “Dude…you almost consummated the marriage.”
4. Our Host Chris Harrison asks Jason about the overnight date with Molly in the fantasy tent on the putting green in the back yard. Which bring us to…
Classic Hare Moment Number Two
Hare: “Jason…what really happened inside the tent? We heard the zipping.”
Jason: “Get your head out of the gutter. We were only in there for three hours.”
Hare: “Three hours of sex is a lot.”
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we love Chris Harrison. Can I get an amen?
5. Jason is a horse stuntman for his real job.
6. Molly lost a bet at the super swank private country club and somehow Jason ended up in his crimson boxers on the 9th hole. I guess the clouds were aligning for him and that’s how he won.
7. Jason literally pretends to kill himself with a rubber knife on the set of General Hospital so Stalker Shannon and Megan will cease and desist from sticking their tongues down his throat during “improve” class.
8. Jason decides to rap for Molly on their McDonald date. And here we go again…
Classic Hare Moment Number Three
Hare: “That was awful Jason. Why would you do that again? We knew from the Bachelorette that you suck.”
9. Trista and Ryan have just been named “Longest 15 Minutes of Fame” in the Guinness Book of World Records. Never fear…Baby Max and Little Sister have healthy college funds.
10. Our Host Chris Harrison reminds us that Trista and Ryan are not the only success stories in the ABC Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. Charlie and Sarah are back on again after a chance meeting with Garfield at a Halloween party in LA. Sadly, Sarah decides to air their dirty laundry on national TV and outs her boyfriend’s drinking problem. Family fun!
11. Hare asks, “What happens when the cameras stop rolling?” Apparently lap dances. And jumping into pools while screaming at the top of your lungs.
12. Adorable Chicago Fred has found love with the first Noelle. He thinks she is a blessing and I think I might cry. YOU’RE MY BOY CHICAGO FRED!
13. If memory serves me correctly, Stalker Shannon’s teeth were whiter than before. Or maybe it’s because her skin was darker and more leathery. Regardless, she was rockin’ some serious bed head.
14. Stephanie wore my grandmother’s coral “sleep suit” from 1964.
15. Erica is still loud and obnoxious.
16. Natalie, who doesn’t like jewelry thank you very much, decided to play with all 57 bangle bracelets on her wrist when not smoothing out her hair. Oh look! It’s time for another…
Classic Hare Moment Number Four
Hare: “You seem shocked…well…pissed that you were let go.”
Natalie (adjusting her hair): “You don’t understand Hare. I couldn’t have my iPod. And I need that to work out. And I didn’t have my Blackberry. I couldn’t call or text or anything.”
Hare: “So they took away all your superficial things and you were left with just you.”
Natalie: “Calm down Hare.
17. ABC is blatantly setting Jillian up to be the next Bachelorette. The tag line will be, “Slaying the dragons to find her Prince. (But don’t worry…it’s not that Borghese fella.) Go Canuck!” Is that too long for a promo spot?
18. Why does Naomi continue to sniff her pits?
19. How many of you thought that Our Host Chris Harrison was going to bring out the ABC intern when he said that he wanted to introduce someone who has been with the show forever in a behind-the-scenes capacity? You KNOW that would have been a total shout-out to me. Instead we meet Cesar the limo driver who, I assume, is going to have a bigger role in future seasons. Or he’s been asked to leave due to the recession and the intern will be driving the girls around in a Volvo.
20. According to Jillian, Jason is 70% mustard and 20% ketchup. Considering what’s going down next week (I don’t read spoilers but I hear it’s pretty bad) that leaves about 10% left for d-bag.
Here’s looking forward to the drama I’ve been missing out on!
All about the shame, not the fame,
Lincee
It’s amazing that when i clicked refresh, there was the update!!! What great timing! Was it just me, or was OHCH looking at Jillian weird??
BEST LINES!!! love it!
I guess the clouds were aligning for him and that’s how he won.
Stephanie wore my grandmother’s coral “sleep suit” from 1964.
You did a great thing with this post considering the lack of material you had to work with.
It just felt like last night’s nights episode or whatever you call it was just trying too hard… my heart almost stopped while seeing previews for next week. I can only imagine!
Was it just me, or was last night’s show pretty darned boring?? I did absolutely crack up at OHCH telling Jason that 3 hours of sex in the tent with Molly is a lot!! That was so funny. Also, when CH and J talked about the overnight dates. The dude just about admitted to sleeping with the girls! I don’t know… Can’t wait to see next week’s MOST SHOCKING, DRAMATIC, EMOTIONAL EPISODE EVER!!
(I love that!)
I think we got to see a bit more of Molly’s personality last night. I’m referring to the scene where she is pretend kissing the other bachelorette on the bench and then again diving into the bath tub with the other 2 girls and another time with Jason on the golf course. I think the show has really hiden her true personality from the audience and there is likely much more to her than the little bits we’ve seen which depict her as rather one dimensional. I also thought it was interesting when Jillian mentioned that everyone knows that she and Melissa got along really well. (that might have been on the Ellen show last week) She didn’t say that about Molly. There has been a lot of bashing of Jason, OHCH (read his blog) and some of the girls and I wish people would remember that we really don’t know the truth of what unfolded and it’s wrong to judge before we do know.
Thanks Lincee for the recap. Kudos to you for pulling that many laughs out of a stretched 2 hour show that wasn’t all that. Did anyone happen to notice the shots of the girls legs in the back row. There was some serious cellulite going on while they had their legs crossed and the camera man was going in for an unflattering shot. Last night made me love Jillian even more. She’s just a bowlful of class, eh.
I am repeating myself from the last set of comments (this is NOT a spoiler) but does anyone think that Melissa looks like a brunette Jessica Simpson? Holla back if you do!
GREAT list! Your blog is the only reason I keep watching this show!
My new favorite quote every time something goes well for me is going to be that my clouds have aligned! Also, before he introduced Caesar, I screamed “It’s the ABC intern” to my hubby and nearly woke up my two year old!
did you notice erica’s fat thighs and cellulite?! She has put on some pounds. And I think our friend Fred has as well, but I thought it was great that they found love as reality rejects! I am surprised he didn’t pop the question right then and there! Holy Cow! OHCH is a rock star and he does a good job with what they give him!
I was surprised you didn’t mention that Chef was STILL wearing the pink shirt with the popped collar! Too funny!
#2 was a foreshadowing. The clouds were closing in on the end of that relationship!
Haha, when Chris Harrison said he was going to bring out someone who has been with the show for a long time, my husband and I looked at each other and said “the intern!” We were a little disappointed when it was the limo driver, I’m not going to lie.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lincee I am crying laughing… the BEST part of the show was OHCH – he was on FIRE! And I knew you’d love it… so equal best = reading your blog after.
Absolutely priceless.
Now I have to go get a tissue…. :-p
Lincee,
I totally thought he was going to introduce the ABC intern! I thought it was refreshing to finally see another bachelor couple instead of Ryan & Trista again. I think maybe Natalie should just not talk, it never seems to go well for her. I was a little confused as to what her i-pod etc. had to do with her being pissed that she was sent home. Again, maybe she should stop talking.
I WAS SO THINKING IT WAS THE INTERN! Hilarious – I was thinking finally OHCH is going to give Lincee a shout out…and in walks the limo driver.? Insert Jim Halpert face! And all I could think was…what is the limo driver doing there? Who did he drive here? Is he OHCH’s daily driver? Does Bach Jay get the services of a driver until After the Rose?
Anywho – I loved the show. I loved finding out about the past contestants and getting more banter from OHCH. I am excited to see why this is the MOST DRAMATIC, EMOTIONAL, TRAUMATIC SEASON EVER!
And, Lincee you are wonderful…I love your lists!
Such great OHCH quotes! Love him!
I half expected Fred to either propose or they were going to announce their engagement during their update. They’re so cute.
I thought Jillian was just being a bit mathematically challenged….but I like your take on it Lincee!
I totally agree about chef and the pink shirt, in fact, I think it was the exact same shirt, the collar needs some starching due to overuse!
Lincee, must reiterate that this was one of your best recaps ever… I always laugh, but not always til I cry.
BTW did anyone else get tired of the shot of Lauren’s cleavage? EVERY time they showed Naomi it was right next to her head. Ugh.
#20 is a good call… we shall see!
)
Seems to me they made a point of including lots of extra scenes with Molly, as if they read the blogs and know we are not into her.
Was it just me or was Stephanie drunk in last night’s show? It seemed like she was slurring her words a bit.
Am I missing a trend? Why does Stephanie always have a Mr. T starter kit on? Geezus…she wears A LOT of jewelry at one time!
It was sort of a waste of 2 hours for me last night….but not as much of a waste as for poor Kari, etc. who had to go to L.A., get gussied up, etc., and not say a word. I would have loved to hear what I didn’t already know such as Erica and Megan situation.
Something was off with Steph but her eyebrows seemed better as did Nikki’s sideburns.
Wow Lincee! You have an incredible ability to make something out of nothing at all and doing a smashing job of it as well!! Isn’t it weird that usually by now everyone is speculating about who he/she picks at the end and usually we have your (Lincee’s) take on it. Like Last season when you wrote the Team Jessie blog. So What team are you on this year? I think this is a bit tricky this season and honestly quite a bummer. Half the fun of this show is picking a side and hoping like heck your guy/gal gets picked in the end. I know that OHCH said things weren’t scripted but I prefer the normal over the crazy wackyness of this season. Bring on the next Bachelor or Bachelorette and may they not be a reject from any other season but someone new and refreshing. Sorry Jillian fans but whoever said she was to good for this show is right. She deserves real honest to goodness romance and not the 15 min highlight reel. Anyway, I am done with Melba bring on someone new! I liked Jason and was on team jason last season but Lincee you have made a believer out of me. He’s Melba no doubt left!
I have to say that I LOVE OHCH for giving Natalie such a hard time. “I try to avoid conflict, Chris.” Well it didn’t look like you were trying to avoid conflict there.
If looks could kill!!!!
Chickpea – I KNOW – Lauren’s cleavage was way too in our faces last night – what the heck? It looked like lingerie or something! Just giving all her middle-school students something to think about, I guess.
OHCH rocked last night – he was hilarious.
And Lincee was right – poor Stephanie needs a stylist or something – she’s a pretty woman but her fashion style is out there. I give Megan props though – she looked great – much better hairstyle and more subdued attitude. Erica looked horrible and crazier than ever.
Didn’t they use to let the studio audience ask questions in WTA’s past? Or am I remembering something else? I guess they didn’t need the audience to pounce on the good stuff…OHCH got that handled all by himself!
Lincee, thanks for the list. Taking 2 hours to watch that was a snooze. To see the good stuff condensed into your blog was hilarious!
And Nicole acted as if she were being tortured by losing her iPod and Blackberry. Did she not know the rules before going in, and didn’t she notice that the other girls had the same conditions? She seemed even more spoiled and double-talking last night. I felt bad at first that she was being grilled, but she really seemed to set herself up for it.
go easy on the fat & cellulite comments, ladies.
fab job lincee!!!!
OHCH was definitely on fire last night! I totally loved the digs he kept taking at Natalie…get over yourself already! And #21 I just died laughing at your Mr. T starter kit comment!!!!!
As Melba would say- AMAZING! OHCH totally cracked me up last night. I love how candid he was about everything. Either he just decided to lose his censor, or the Intern was hard at work writing jokes all week.
I also loved during the update of the past contestants where one of the girls said that she had dated the chef, but they broke up because (I forget her exact wording) but he got creepy/weird. Apparently all of his collar popping is serving as blinders to what’s going on around him. Hilarious!
You made those two hours of my life I thought I would never get back ALL WORTH IT. You rock. Clouds aligning, the 57 bangles, the classic Hare moments, the sleep suit from 1964, 10% d-bag, HA! You nailed it! Love it. Thank you!
Amen, sister!
Loved your OHCH line, he was pretty bold on the show!
What was Stephanie thinking when she put on that outfit. Seriously? Her next stint should be on “What not to Wear” or whatever that show is called.
She is very nice and all, but clothes need an update…stat!
Jillian is my girl! She would be an awesome bachlorette.
Don’t want to see DD on the show next week, blah!
Oooh… I forgot to mention… aside from the disappointment that the special guest wasn’t the Intern, I seriously expected that after Hare said “Three hours is a lot of time for sex” that Jason would turn to the camera, look straight at us and say “Pineapple”.
Despite Stephanie’s coral outfit, wtf?, she looked so much better with her hair down and not quite as much “whore dust”, as my crazy lesbian friend calls it (make up)…shout out to Tina
Jason on the horse was hilarious! I wish it had bucked him off for being rude to Jillian the way he was, did anybody else notice that? It’s like he was mad because she was ‘over him’ and wasn’t crying and sad. I don’t know, it made me not like him too much anymore, what’s up Jase?
They were definitely playing up the Molly card last night, still don’t like her though, too fake
OHCH was on it last night, wasn’t he? Hare: “Three hours of sex is a lot.” Too funny!
Lincee…….PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a DWTS recap!! What will we do without you every week?!?
HOLLA BACK #6 – I’ve totally had the Jessica Simpson thing in my head about Melissa from the beginning. They have similar mannerisms.
Also, a shout out to #9,- Fred does look like he’s put on the lbs. since his hottie appearance on MTA, but it’s ok to be fat & happy when you’re in love. I thought he & Noelle were too cute!
Again, OHCH did not disappoint! He was hilarious. If you appreciate his wit as much as I do, you should check out his blog on ew.com – enjoy
Love the photo of the mustard bottle! haha
Seeing Fred and Noelle together made the whole show worth watching (didn’t Fred look so cute, too??)!
Stephanie has changed her make-up and she looked a lot better.
I loved Molly without her eye make-up (am I obsessing about make-up too much, lol?) in the clips at the end. Just stunning.
And OHCH actually scared me at the end–he could give Rod Serling a run for his money if they ever bring back “The Twilight Zone”!!! That dark studio and the creepy music was so scary!! Good job, Chris!! And way to call Natalie out on being so superficial.
First of all I have never understood how we’re supposed to find Natalie attractive. I’m sorry, I’m not bashing her, I’m just saying if I saw her walking down the street I wouldn’t take a second glance at her and she seems to think she’s supa fine. But she annoyed me last night to the point where I actually shouted at the TV! I hated how she kept saying she “Wasn’t mad cause you splashed me. I wasn’t mad because you splashed me. That wasn’t it.” Well then why don’t you tell us what it was if it wasn’t that if you really don’t want everyone thinking that!?
And I really don’t care who wins. Usually I hate spoilers (this ISN’T one) and I love surprises but I looked at all that stuff because I really couldn’t care less. I don’t really care for Melissa or Molly so it doesn’t matter to me who he chooses.
One more thing!
As a horsewoman, I couldn’t help but notice how Jason kept saying he was “kicked off” by the horse–nooooo–you were “bucked off” lol! But that was a pretty good save, even though he caused it by kicking the horse in the flanks.
I don’t think Chris could have brought out “the intern” who’s been with the show “forever.” Interns are, by definition, in training for something bigger and better. Who would be an intern for 12 seasons? Maybe those resourceful interns from the earlier seasons are now the producers so many people are ripping on. Just a thought . . .
I’m really glad you are not reading the spoilers because you will have an honest reaction and we will get to read how you perceive it.
Also – exactly when did Jason decide that he and Jillian were better as friends – before or after the mauling in the hot tub? That’s kind of rank…
Posting on behalf of my sista here – does anyone else think Stephanie looks like Patrick Swayze in drag?
#22 Michele – I think it was that Stephanie’s face wasn’t as shiny as it was on the show. Makeup much more subtle on WTA!
Great recap Lincee!
I gotta say as a CHICAGO girl..I was really annoyed the Chris kept saying Natalie was from Chicago! Morton (which I’ve never heard of) is not Chicago!!!! Maybe this wouldn’t bug so much if well Natalie didn’t bug so much!
Love Jillian and I like how she set Jason straight on the him not being able to keep up with her…um dude you did the Bachelor yeah um you not into doing big things at all! I do love that she said maybe I’m just too much for him! SWEET!!! I have mixed feelings about her being the next Bachelorette…I know she’d rock it and all, but it would suck if it didn’t work out in the end.
Oh and loved Fred and Noelle – I thought they were going to announce being engaged too! I was looking…she’s not lifting her left hand..come on just say it!!! LOL Great for them either way!
# 6 i totally think Melissa looks like a brunette Simpson. I have thought that all season. I love Jillian. She is such a classy lady and I think Jason made a huge mistake. I pray Jillian is the next Bachelorette. It will be great!
Classic Lincee recap. Hilarious! I also love Chicago Fred, and thought the clip on him and Noelle was really sweet. I want a Chicago Fred!!
Did anyone else catch that Trista said she was an only child and had to grow up without any brothers or sisters? Trista, we all know your not-as-cute half-sister (or step-sister?) (who cried at the bachelorette party/island bridal shower). True, she’s not a full sister, but still – kind of a snub, no?
In the promo where the girls get ready for the Final ceremony…….as they were shown putting on make up, my 12 yr old son said, “As if they are really putting on their own make up”. Hysterical. Then I was in shock over how nice and natural Molly looked without her shovel-applied eye make up. Truly stunned.
Side note–noticed how Jason eluded to the fact that during fantasy suite nights they have to get to know each other. I was grossed out.
okay lincee you pretty much summed up the two hours i thought i wasted and put a very big smile on my face haha
love it!
Lincee – were you in the audience? They kept showing the same girl and we thought it was potentially a shout out to you and your blog that keeps us all watching their lame show! We were hoping you were there! And totally thought the same thing when he announced the …. limo driver. Huh? Maybe OHCH did that as a psych knowing we would all be thinking intern.
Am I the only one who saw the cellulite on Erica’s thighs? If you have cellulite (nothing wrong with it since I have it thanks to my four kids) dont wear a short skirt on national television. Just sayin.
oh my gosh- coral sleep suit!!!! You kill me!!
I just loved it when Sarah Brice flat out told OHCH that Charlie had a drinking problem. That was so real! Whatever happens on the AFTR, I just hope we finally get something real from Jason. I’m so tired of him giving that puppy dog “please don’t hit me” stare every time he is faced with a difficult question. Be a man and face things head on.
Question — are Meeps and Graham dating? Holly said she and Meeps were fighting over Graham and “I let Amanda have him” then flash to a picture of Graham and Meeps. So what’s up with that???
GREAT way to go old school Lincee with your LISTS!!! Loved all of them. Kudos. And thank you for letting us junkies write about the spoilers…Yes. I mentioned on the other that they shouldn’t have done a close up of the short dresses and cellulite. Should have thought about that before going on TV. OMG…whoever wrote that Stephanie looks like Patrick Swayze in drag – I know we all love her – but YES. She DOES…thanks for the laugh! Lincee what are your thoughts on the fact that Jason was asked if he was ‘happy?’ rather than if he is engaged? I agree with someone else’s comments too that they didn’t canvas the rejects and ask who they think will win…and my only gripe with OHCH was that he had AMPLE opportunity to bring up the I love Bears by Natalie….but OHCH WE LOVE YOU!
Not sure if this was posted somewhere else or not, but through reading some other articles I found out who the maker was of Jillian’s dress from the New Zealand date. It’s by Guess and it’s called “Renee” Striped Dress. Good luck finding it! I know I’m on the hunt for it!!!
I just want to say that a friend sent me your blog and I have never enjoyed reading a blog more than yours! Its so hilarious how well you interrupt what we are all thinking. I cant wait until next week when it gets crazy!
Saggleo YOU ROCk but I can’t find the darned dress for sale ANYWHERE!!
Cracked up when they showed Chef still rockin’ his pink collar….
Loved Fred and Noelle – too cute….
Totally thought OHCH was going to announce ” ABC Intern”…. Lincee, you gotta know how awesome you are when so many people thought the same thing!
Love love love classy beautiful Jillian but I hope she’s not corrupted into being the next bachelorette! She needs real love and not some tv wannabe douchebag!
I am dying to know how the finale turns out – there are so many rumors going around now (and I’ve read them all) that it’ll be interesting to see which one/s are right!
#57 Amy- I also loved Chef’s pink collar flip and PRECIOUS FRED and NOELLE!!!- best part fo the night….excecpt for the fabulous moments of Hare’s wit!!
Awesome recap as usual, Lincee! It always amazes how much you can do when the majority of the 2 hours is made up of scenes they’ve replayed a jillion times already. The list was great.
I SOOOO thought of the ABC intern before the limo driver came out.
Not that anyone cares but my current dilemma is that I’m considering giving up reality tv for Lent, which begins tomorrow. I watch it way too much & this would be good for me, as well as a good sacrifice because it will be difficult for me to stick to. But…I didn’t even realize when I was thinking of doing this that Lent would start before the Bachelor finale. I’m trying to decide if I can rely only on Lincee’s blog (which will be outstanding as usual) next week and not watch the actual show until after Easter (dvr it). I wouldn’t have such a hard time doing this, as I don’t like Melba Toast (or Mighty Mouse as I call him) much at all, but now the Bachelor’s gone and added all this drama and the super intimate ATFR show. I’ve GOT to know what happens!! What do you think? Should I give up Ben & Jerry’s instead, or does that just make me a quitter before Lent even starts?
It looks like the rejects are the ones who have all the fun! Loved that part of the show.
Our Host Chris Harrison was on FIRE last night! This is always my favorite episode of the each season, because this is when we get to see Hare at his best!!!! The only thing that would have made him any better was if, while gleefully antagonizing Natalie, he had said, “so they took away your superficial things, I’M JUST SAYING. . ” then looked straight into the camera and gave a Jim Halpert face! Now THAT would have been a true shout out to Ms. Lincee!!!! He needs to give you props somehow!!! I’m just saying. . .
FYI- Matt Grant is in Sacramento, CA today (along with Lacy from Rock of Love) for an animal rights bill. He is looking like a tall drink of water.
Fred and Noelle brought me to tears. They were so cute! I’m with the rest of you who thought he was going to announce their engagement then and there. Oh, I <3 Chicago Fred.
Lincee, I love your 10%. Way to make lemonade out of Jillian’s math-challenged lemons. Speaking of Jilly, I <3 her way to much to see her as the next Bachelorette. I think she just needs to take Granny up on her offer to find a nice Yukranian fella.
OHCH was on fire last night. “Jason, Cinemax called, and THEY said it was too hot.” And, yes, Jason did pretty much did admit that he slept with all three girls on the fantasy dates. What a d-bag (10% or whatever).
Andrea – you could always just do what I do – give up giving up things for Lent
#60 say it isn’t so. I’d need a therapy session or support group. Isn’t there something else you could sacrifice? You are not a quitter because you haven’t started yet. I for one am giving up complaining, so I am trying to get it all out today! : )
First, kudos to Lincee for 1) giving me something to defray the cost of wasting two hours last night, and 2) perfectly catching the essence of our on-fire OHCH last night.
The Bachelor people are making a big mistake by not giving us more of the reunion-of-the-rejects — that’s INFINITELY more interesting than most of the WTA. Chicago Fred was as happy as a puppy with two peters over Noelle, which couldn’t have been a nicer surprise for all of us.
Did y’all notice the not-so-exuberant manner Jason had when asked at the end if he was happy? He laughed his butt off over several of the clips OHCH showed, but when the big question came, he was noticeably subdued.
Can.not.stand.Natalie. She’s going down in the books as one of THE most unpleasant women ever.
It really doesn’t matter to me who’s in and who’s out in the final final — I’m just tired of Jason, and I have little hope that either of the two will last with him.
Again, thanks Lincee!
#67 “a puppy with two peters”?! hahahahaha that is so funny! I haven’t heard that before!
Thank you SO much for figuring out the missing 10%!! That bugged me so much last night. I’m ready to find out what happens next week, but not looking forward to the end of Lincee’s fabulous bachelor blogging…
Okay, so I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the current season, but did anyone ever find out what Graham’s letter said that he gave to DD when she let him go? I know it was for “her eyes only…not some TV show”, but it is STILL driving me crazy!!!
Lincee, great way to make 2 hours of my life I will never get back worth it. Love the list. You never disappoint.
LOVED seeing Fred and Noelle…how cute are they? I totally expected them to announce their engagement also. And glad Jesse is happy with Holly. Also, really nice to see Charlie and Sara – they looked so good together and very happy.
Jillian looked gorgeous and I would definitely watch her as the next bachelorette. She is a class act. Stephanie looked 10 times better last night. Shannon…well what can you say about that train wreck? And Natalie – Just Shut Up. NEVER open that mouth again. What an idiot.
Saggleo, Jillian’s dress is available at kaboodle dot com. Type in Renee striped dress and it comes up. Really cute.
Oh yeah…and LOVED OHCH last night…he was laugh out loud funny.
Personally I think Jillian was not math inclined but rather her equation was edited- no way ABC is letting her say 10% d’bag about poor little Jason.
I pretty much think Jason confirmed that he got some major action during his fantasy dates. first base my ass.
Stephanie looked better because I think she layed off the botox for a bit. I could actually see a few natural wrinkles in her forehead. She looked much softer. Now if only someone convinced her to leave the peach montrosity at home.
What a great recap. I agree- it was WAY better than the show.
Token male perspective–
Kudos Lin for making that 2 hrs of my life worthwhile. You are at your finest when your back is against the wall and given nothing to work with.
OHCH– en fuego.
Nat– I know you will never read this, but let me explain it to you. You are not being unfairly stereotyped for being hot. You are the one responsible for the stereotype that hot women who actually have some character are forced to deal with. Oh, and you’re not even the hottest–that title goes to the mute Kari. Take that, b!tch!
#42– Morton is near Peoria. To be charitable, she could have just grown up there and now works in the city. I would not be surprised to find her on Rush St. this weekend on the arm of some 50+ man.
Who’s dissapointed Jilly didn’t drop the hammer on Jase ala Meeps on Matty?
Poor Sharon– quits her job and can’t even get 15 sec of fame to show for it.
#6 and #34 I’m totally with you on the Melissa resembling Jessica Simpson thing.
And to Lincee…Love your blog… thanks for the laughs!
Is it just me, or did it seem like all the women went to see “He’s Just Not That Into You” before the WTA taping?
“Don’t give me that ‘I’m not adventurous BS…you just don’t want me.” Loved it. Love Jillian. She rocks.
LOL at the pineapple comment above!
(Also count me among those expecting the ABC intern to stroll out.)
FYI the dress was at Macy’s however it is no longer in stock
What I love is how since reading this blog, I have paid more attention to OHCH. Lincee is the one who made me realize just how stinking funny that guy is. So, last night was NO exception. OHCH was in rare form, grilling Jason on the hot tub scene and saying, “Cinemax called”. He was great! You are hilarious too Lincee. Loved your lists. And I have picked Melissa starting a few weeks ago but I am embarrassed now because you have all made me see she is who ABC wants me to pick. Therefore, Jason must really choose Molly. Oh well. I already picked Melissa so i will stick with the way too obvious choice.
I’ve always thought that the WTA was akin to calling in to a radio talk show…it really doesn’t matter what you say because the radio host has the mute button, just like the producers have the edit button. It’s really unfair to the girls – they need to rename it the “Women Tell What they are Allowed to Tell”
I actually felt sorry for poor Stephanie getting the “superficial bimbo” edit. It was clear that she was about to explode from frustration when Chris kept poking her about being superficial … i thought that the “oh, we took away your superficial things (ipod and blackberry)” comment was a low shot and feeble attempt to feed the “superificial natalie” storyline. I think had he said that to me I would have just rolled my eyes and refused to say another word, knowing it was a lose-lose proposition. She was clearly trying to say that it was hard to be cut off from the outside world. It’s not like she was pulling an Erica and complaining about not having a maid in the house. Sheesh.
meant to say I felt sorry for Natalie getting the superficial bimbo edit…for some reason I’ve always wanted to call Natalie “Stephanie” … don’t know why…
Drew – That could be the case and if it is…that probably explains even more why she bugs me!!! lol
InDoubt – that’s where I saw it as well, but you can’t make a purchase. It just brings up other searches that don’t have it. Sniff I’m determined though!
I also think it’s funny how people on here think that Chris Harrison’s questions or comments stem from him being a (good/bad) guy. He does and says what he is told to!
And please don’t take this the wrong way. You are really being gullible if you don’t realize that the producers were using CH to conduct damage control. They are not stupid. They knew that most of us would be turned off by Jason totally making out with Jill and then dropping the friend card – I mean, can we say sleeeeezy. By having CH pretend to give him a hard time they were trying to deflect our bad feelings towards the show, primarily, and Jason, secondarily. By “confronting” him on it they are trying to say “hey America, we’re on your side, we’re one of the good guys, see how we slapped little Jay-Jay on the wrist for being a bad boy? See, we actually do have a conscience. (even though we were licking our chops during the makeout scene knowing the drama it would create when he gives her the boot)” Gag me.
And please don’t take my post as dogging on our dear beloved CH. From my interaction with him he seemed like a good enough guy. It’s just that I think he get’s too much credit for his apparent “good deeds” and too much flack when we think he didn’t stand up for “what is right”. In the end he’s an actor. Paid to do a job. The end. He is not the moral conscience of the show nor the producer calling the shots.
Former Bach-ette, can you say Bitter Betty?? Seems like maybe your true colors are showing in your last post …
Lincee, were you there?
http://www.lazymoms.com
1) I’m glad that if I have to watch another Ryan & Trista update, at least this time there is something new in the works (i.e. baby girl on the way).
2) Chicago Fred and Noelle are my dream match. I loved them both. And they just fit well, you know? Very natural, and comfortable.
3) Why is it that Jason does not understand the concept of marrying your best friend? It’s not like Jillian invented the concept, I’ve been talking about marrying my best friend since junior high… and I did!
4) Chris Harrison is HILARIOUS. And when Natalie told him to calm down… someone should explain to her that a person needs to be worked up in order to calm down, and clearly she was the only one worked up. I mean, they definitely painted a sad picture of her with the editing, but she didn’t prove anything they said wrong based on her statements and behavior last night.
5) I love Jillian. I will love her as the next Bachelorette should they choose to go there. But what was she thinking when she called Jason out on what he said to Melissa about the kiss?! He said, “I haven’t had a kiss like that in a long time” to Melissa. And so Jillian points out she’d kissed him the night before. Ahhh! Why would you bring that up? Does she want him to say that it wasn’t that great of a kiss on national television? I was glad he dodged that bullet for her sake, but she set herself up for a blow there! And I’m glad they didn’t show the recap of her explaining the Ty dream because that was another hide behind the couch moment. Silly Jillian.
6) Someone needs to tell Stephanie the rule about looking in the mirror and removing three items of jewelry before she leaves the house. I love that woman, but her accessorizing is OUT OF CONTROL. She’d increase her fashion sense and superficial beauty a good 50% if she stopped wearing all that chunky jewelry.
Former Bach-ette – What a great point about the mute button. They do edit and air what they want us to see. You would know, you were there.
How do you feel about Jason? I personally think (and I posted on the previous board) he looked like the cat that swallowed the canary. Kind of scared to say anything, He looked like a tool for what he said about not having chemistry with Jillian but he went for it in the hot tub. She did try to make her point about that.
Didn’t you find it strange that OHCH didn’t go in details on how Jason is doing now, is he engaged, in love…he just said are you happy! Hmmm…and no audience Q&A, nothing from the girls to Jase. They did have two hours to fill. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark!
OHCH rocked last night! Kudos to him for how he handled Natalie.
I was wondering about the other 10% of Jason as well…bad math? Or fill-in-the-blank? I’m still sayin’ that I would’ve asked if he was “all beef” or not. ;0
I wanted to wash shannon’s hair last night– it looked like she teased it without having rinsed of oily substances. yuck.
Lincee – girl, you did it again! Laugh out loud funny as all get out!
Chris with the Cinemax comment! I almost fell off the couch!
Ugh – Natalie – Stupid is as stupid does. Oh… and Nat – you’re really NOT all that.
Melba is really a total sleaze, huh? Molesting Jillian and then tossing out the friend card. Perhaps he needs to look up the definition of the word. Ick. I’m sure whomever he chose just loved watching that scene on tv. I hope Jillian is the next bachelorette. That girl deserves a good time!
Was anyone else wondering how Shannon’s dog was doing? Poor little abused critter!
I am also trying SO hard to stay away from the spoilers. Oooohhhh… Lincee, I just cannot wait for next weeks recap!
Pineapple!
Another Jen – I totally noticed that Stephanie was slurring her words last night! Maybe she was just sitting around in her coral “sleep suit” before the show drinking cocktails. Too funny! She’s still great and I lover her!
Former Bach-ette – it’s great to hear your perspective but PLEASE don’t try to defend Natalie. No editing about it – she dug her own hole last night. I understood what she was trying to say about being taken away from your normal life – it would be very difficult! BUT, that would not cause me to say the things she said (I’m super attractive, who does Jason think he is, God?, etc.). Personally, I think she has a much bigger opinion of herself than she should. If you’re feeling sorry for her due to editing, just remember the now famous statement “I like bears.”
Oops, sorry I love Stephanie – I don’t lover her. That would be a whole other show!!
I totally don’t get where you guys are coming from saying Melissa looks like Jessica Simpson…I think she acts like Jessica but looks…no way jose.
So I thought of something earlier. We all roll our eyes when they show Trista and Ryan dragging out their 15 minutes of fame, but do you think maybe they’re contractually obligated? Like maybe it was a clause when ABC paid for their wedding? That they are required to make on appaearances? I don’t know if someone has suggeted this before. Seems likely. I would think they would be sick of it all by now. And maybe I’m just buying into my own theory, but I feel as though they’re looking less enthusastic each time we’re given an “update.”
oh, and #60 Andrea – - just this past sunday my priest’s homily was about how you don’t need to give up something you like for Lent, you can do things to help other people or to better yourself. Some people will make an effort to start volunteering, read to their kids every night, call their mom more frequently, etc. Just a thought!
Lincee – thank you – you rock! You gave me back the two hours that I wasted watching last night’s WTA. I had no doubt you could take that pile of caca and turn it into something outstanding. Please add me to the list of your loyal readers who would love a DWTS blog.
Andrea (#60) – listen to Sue. If I had run into more priests like hers I might still be going to church. You can not miss the last episodes. If you are serious about making a sacrifice for Lent, as opposed to increasing good deeds, could I suggest giving up chocolate or coffee? You could take the money you would have spent and do good deeds with it instead.
Great list!! You definitely have the ability to make the WTA waaay more interesting than it really was.
I was wondering if you would comment on “the clouds aligning.” I definitely got a kick out of that one.
Former Bachette- While I agree OHCH works a paid postion he is not the producer and really just an “actor” however~ we all know there are great actors, and not so great ones…..and as far as having a bachelor host~ I would say he is pretty darn good! I was curious why they did not lay into shannon any more- I did read the spoilers and the thing I don’t understand is why everyone is ripping on abc and OHCH~ I mean seriously of course ABC puts on shows to entertain and create postive raitings~ and it seems to me we are all entertained~ if we weren’t we wouldn’t follow up with blogs and recaps. I think out of all the reality shows and hosts of those shows OHCH does it the best….
I am also curious if Former Bachette was there last night…..and still wondering if he/she really IS a former Bachette. Going back and reading different posts really nothing new has been added as you would think would have been if inside knowledge was known. Even if there is gag order….there are still ways to drop hints and work around that
OK, Lincee, it is only by the grace of God that I did not shriek with laughter into the ear of the sleeping infant laying on my chest after reading your speculation on what Jason’s final 10% might be.
Holy moly. You are awesome.
#60 Andrea ~ Wow! I’m impressed. I wouldn’t watch anything at all if I gave up reality TV for Lent! I don’t think you’re a quitter if you change your mind now…after all, it isn’t Lent YET! As great as Lincee’s blog is, I want to see the shows as they happen, not on Tivo after the fact. Give up Ben & Jerry’s, sweetie. That’s enough of a sacrifice for anyone!
#95 MaggieMay ~ great idea! I am going to try to quit smoking for Lent (I figure if I can give it up for 46 days, I can quit for good!) and using the $7/pack I was spending on cigarettes toward charity is a FABULOUS idea! Thanks so much!
See, Lincee? You not only entertain us but make us better people as well!
Did you guys not crack up that Cesar still had on his blue tooth?
I TOTALLY thought he was going to bring out the ABC Intern!! Those very words came screaming out of my mouth when he started doing the introduction!! Seriously. ABC Intern goes through some stuff…he finally needs some credit!
#84 are you the real OHCH?!
Amen! OHCH was on FIRE last night! Some classic comments from that man!
You managed to make a hilarious recap out of a sh!tty WTA. Huzzah!
and, I too thought he was going to bring out the intern. I was holding my breath in anticipation until our favorite driver walked onto the scene.
I’m watching but I’m just not that into him … or any of them. Good job though, Lincee. What little fun there has been I have found here.
i guess jillian will be the next bachelorette.
let’s talk about this double standard for a sec. jason was the FIRST bachelor that the women knew of beforehand (and mental dental knew a little too much). however EVERY bachelorette has come from a previous season… so the men know what to expect. if they like the girl, they try out. how lame is this? why don’t the women get the same warning? because, let me tell you, there’s no way i’d try out for the season with the “Prince” if i knew he was the bachelor, right?
i find this a little annoying. but what the heck, i’ll still watch every season from now until 2018! and i hope jason chooses deanna. throw tomatoes at me, i don’t care. melissa and molly are both wacko… at least deanna is hot. we all know it won’t work out anyway.
Ruthie, actually Bob was the first that people knew of from being on the Bachelorette, but I agree that more of the men should be known beforehand. I tried out for the show only to find out later that it was the fishermen guy, Byron. Thank goodness I didn’t make it on that season!!
The sad thing was – they gave Natalie a chance to class it up, fess up and maybe even redeem herself a little. Instead she proved how clueless she was, and dug a bigger hole.
I loved Noelle and Fred, how awesome is that. Plus I really like Holly, I hope things work out for her. I think Meeps through herself under the bus if she is still dating Graham! Sorry Graham lovers but I did not get the attraction for Graham then or now.
Ohm’goodness…when OHCH went to introduce the person that’s been with them for years I yelled “THE INTERN!!” at the tv! hahahaha
I’m just wondering, is there another vehicle under which people can be thrown?? That phrase could go in the book next to “amazing” as most overused. Even OHCH kept using it!
Hey, Melanna #109, Naomi got thrown under the helicopter
I really wish Stephanie would go on “What Not to Wear”!
We all know that interns, by definition, receive no credit for the work they do. I suspected the fabulous behind-the-scenes indispensible personality was going to be LINCEE!
#105 Ruthie — just need to tell you that when I got to “mental dental” in your comment coffee miraculously spewed from my mouth to my computer screen! One of the all-time BEST nicknames!
Former Bach-ette: No way will I buy into the edit making Natalie look bad. Sorry- I recognize a biatch when I see one. She is not a nice person. Seriously- didn’t you even see how all the other women reacted to her? That’s NOT jealousy. Bitchy women try to play it off like it’s jealousy, but nope- sorry.
Lincee!! were you saying that you are going to blog dwts????? please please please do!!!
QP – - #110 made me laugh so hard. I’m still laughing. hahahahaha
Former Bach-ette: Rachel is right on the money about editing Natalie badly! One of the great features of video is that it doesn’t lie! Editing isn’t responsible for her completely inflated view of herself and her attributes and it’s certainly not to blame for the foolish selfishness that came out of her mouth, both while she was still a candidate and then at WTA. Jason looked shallow and stupid (especially in response to OHCH’s questions) and Natalie only came off worse than at her final date — you can blame editing for alot of the drama and order of scenes, but editing can’t be the scapegoat for speaking and behaving badly!
#84: You’re right, that does sound bitter! I need to stop posting/venting at the end of a long day
#97: Angi, you make a lot of good points. I agree that Chris is a fantastic host. Also, I’ve typed out so many comments that I ended up not posting because I thought it would reveal my identify – and I really don’t want to risk a lawsuit because i ran my mouth.
90, 117, 119: I completely forgot about that awful exit Natalie made after her Vegas date! I know they were egging her on but still, that was very unbecoming.
Sorry, but what’s DTWS mean? help me
DTWS=Dancing with the stars, right?
Anyhoo, Did anyone else think that Megan looked totally different last night? My sister and I were watching and had to rewind like 20 times. Something was definitely different; but couldn’t put my finger on it to save my life; was it nose job? eye lift? straight hair? colored contacts? I mean, she looked almost like a different person. Somebody help me out here………????
oops; DWTS, not DTWS. haha!!
120: Yes she looked much prettier and softer! On the show it was weird, sometimes she reminded me the mom on married with children and then sometimes she was very very pretty – in fact, her bio photo is GORGEOUS!
Former Bach-ette… how could Shannon reveal that she refused a rose, which was not shown on TV? Won’t she get in trouble for that?
Someone might have asked this already, because I have yet to make it through the posts, but what happened to Mary and Byron (the pro fisherman)? I thought they were a success story too.
Maybe it’s just wishful thinking.
#123: according to the contract and confidentiality agreement, yes she could get in trouble. Basically, she isn’t supposed to say anything whatsoever about her experience on the show unless it was aired – and this gag order is supposed to last forever.
OMG! Am I the only one that didn’t realize that there is a Part 2 of the final rose ceremony that airs next Tuesday night?? I was setting my TiVo and discovered that this will not all be over next Monday! ABC is milking every hour of air time they can on this season, aren’t they?!?!?!?! (a little too much in my opinion…at some point even the recaps of recaps become annoying)
#123 – QP — I haven’t kept up with comments on all the posts this season, so bear with me – - where did Shannon reveal she refused a rose?
#126 CJ – Not only is there an ATFR2, and the next day, but in OHCH’s blog yesterday he reveals that it has not yet been filmed! So whatever “went down” (and I’m in the don’t-wanna-know-til-I-watch group) I guess it happened between the RC, the first AFR and now. Apparently when he films comments and leads for the next week, those are pretty current and can change with public reaction etc.
Hope that makes sense… His blog is great for useful facts. (It’s on ew dot com.)
Emily from #6– Melissa totally looks like Mandy Moore!! I don’t know if others suggested that after you posted, apologies if you did!
#127 Sue, it may just be a rumor, but (according to a previous poster) Shannon’s Facebook page stated that she refused the rose. Then ABC reshot the end of the rose ceremony as ifh it were Jason’s idea to send three girls home. It may have also been in an interview, but I just re-read the Shannon Bair Reality TV World interview, and it was not there. OMGosh, I MAY BE SPREADING RUMORS! We can’t have any of that this season!!!!
Former Bach-ette: what do you think about rs’s interview with megan he is going to post? how can she talk if she’s under contract?
I hope Jillian does not become the next Bachelorette.
DeAhnna looks like she has put on the LBS from the previews!!
#120 I thought the same thing. I rewound a few times and thought maybe it was a nose job. I thought she was very pretty before actually but looked even prettier at the WTA
Former Bach-ette – just a suggestion here: You might consider having a competent attorney review whatever contract you signed. It is highly unusual for any contract (particularly one that does not involve criminal allegations or a settlement) to be in force “forever.” Not unprecedented, mind you, but very rare and virtually impossible to enforce over time.
#131: I’m surprised she is doing it. Very risky on her part IMO. But, I think that many girls are so irritated with the way they were handled that they want to get back at ABC. Unfortunately, ABC has the iron hammer.
#134: thanks sfomelissa. Yeah, I too question whether it is enforceable – it just seems to be against public policy. But, even though I might be able to eventually “win” the contract argument, by the time I pay the legal fees to fight it I would be bankrupt – and they know that. So, legally I might win, practically I would probably lose.
#132 (Paiser) – I thought the exact same thing that DeAnna looked heavier. I wasn’t sure if it was an unflattering outfit or if she packed on a few. Not that there is anything wrong with that, especially since I’m on the heavier side. I’m just sayin…..
maybe “houstonlawyer” would waive all legal fees in representing you as a fan of the show. i’m totally teasing!
former bach – have you ever said or can you reveal if you were on this season?
i also thought megan looked absolutely stunning on the WTA but didn’t necessarily think so during the season. i’m guessing she was just as pretty then too…i felt like she had more bangs last night. whatever it was, she looked lovely.
#120, agreed Meghan looked different. Her hair was definitely styled differently, and she looked closer to her age, not as old as when she was on the Bach. Maybe she’s just more relaxed and rested! ha!
I love Lincee’s blog, also loved OHCH coming after Reality Steve without ever saying exactly which blogger he was referring to – saw that interview on realitytv dot com web site.
Enjoy reading everyone’s posts, and excited for next week so we can REALLY dish dirt!
i always confuse molly and melissa— bc, doesn’t molly seem like a melissa, and melissa seem like a molly??
ie, to me the name “molly” would be a super cute bubbly girl (aka melissa on the season), and the name “melissa” would be more reserved and snobby (aka molly this season). see??? these two’s names are mixed in my head!!!!!!
In spite of rumor to the contrary, attorneys are very often quite affordable, and professionals will have an introductory meeting to discuss the case free of charge. Second, if the attorney concludes that the contract is not for perpetuity, there would be no lawsuit to spend money on, it would simply be a matter of negotiating the matter with ABC’s counsel. And finally: were it to go to court (not likely), and were you to win (a reasonable chance), the standard would be for ABC’s counsel to pay YOUR fees and costs. This is a common misconception about the legal profession. There are definitely plenty of scuzbuckets out there, but it’s no more appropriate to stereotype attorneys than it is to say that all blondes are dumb!
sfomelissa-Just shut the eff up!!
Former Bach-ette-thanks for all your insight
….BACK TO THE REAL SUBJECT AT HAND….I mean seriously…I admit it. I rewatched the previews for the finale…and I slow mo’d it…It is SO OBVIOUS that they are making it a point to show that both girls are wearing a pinkie ring. I mean the detail of her doing a french manicure? come on!! We know these girls get their nails done for them! But more importantly it was SO OBVIOUS that the ‘ring’ was on Molly’s finger was digitally added……anyone else notice this?
sfomelissa, I appreciate your intelligent post(s). You are right, there are both scuzbuckets and very good, competent and fair attorneys out there. Thanks for the insight.
A bit off the topic but if you want to see a cute ‘interview’ with Jillian from this morning on Vancouver Breakfast TV go to youtube and search Jillian Harris Part 3…should be bring a smile and a laugh to all the Jillian fans!
ohh, part 1 and 2 are good too!
I disagree with whoever said Melissa looks like Jessica Simpson but I agree with whoever said Melissa looks like Mandy Moore…you hit the nail on the head!
Megan did look a lot prettier!
DD did look a little bit heavier or maybe it was the jacket she had on?
I, too work in the legal field as a paralegal and although I am not an attorney, contract attorneys usually charge by the hour and they can be quite expensive…and not many of the attorneys I know offer the first appointment ‘free of charge’ so maybe one of the attorneys on here will help former bachette pro bono…it probably wouldn’t take very long to read through the contract.
Clouds aligning. I have no words.
Love the recap Lincee! I seriously winced when I heard Jason say, “clouds aligning.” Ha! And for ABC to show us Shannon’s snotfest yet again almost made me puke. Can’t wait till next week’s episode!
I loved when OHCH said they DO have a ABC psychologist! He mentioned it on his blog on the 20th. Lincee did you know this for a fact or were you just guessing???
Love your blog – as always!
Am I the only one that would watch if they actually filmed a love story? If they actually showed the good side of people?
People tune in to watch Extreme Home Makeover don’t they? That seems like a really positive show….
I had flashes last night of Erica Kane when I looked at Stephanie….anyone?
#39 Alan – good call on the Interns not being around that long and probably now being producers.
#79 Former Bach-ette – I’m def not a Natalie fan and thought she was horrid at the WTA, but agree that the BB/ipod argument wasn’t really all that supportive of her being superficial. I probably would have looked at the audience and said, don’t tell me everyone in here doesn’t rely on their BB and ipod daily!
I don’t think Former Bach-ette is being Bitter Betty. She obviously knows what goes on behind the scenes better than any of us, and what she is saying makes sense. So I’m not doubtin her!
#106 ab3 – did you make it on another season?
That lovely shot of Graham shirtless that we got last night made the whole show for me!!! Wonder if Meeps is really dating him? I haven’t done any stalking of their MySpace pages lately since Facebook has taken over.
That clip of Holly stumbling out of the hot tub and planting face down in the snow cracked me up.
I wrote several recaps ago that I thought Melissa reminded me of a brunette Jessica Simpson. It’s not an exact match lookswise obviously, but a lot of it for me is in the way she acts…voice/mannerisms.
For the first time, I’m not really caring who he picks or pondering which one it is. I guess bc I read the spoilers or maybe because he’s so lame. Not saying I know who it is because of reading them, but it just jaded me to where I don’t even care bc I’m doubting that any of it is real anyway!
Did Chelsea really pose for Playboy?
can someone give me the website to ohch’s blog? thx
Watched the show three times (gotta love Tivo) and must say one of the hottest girls on the Women Tell All show was Jackie from Dallas. Great body and well spoken and stunning face. Jason overlooked her and kept Melissa….no contest ont his choice and Jason blew it. I got some friends in Dallas that says Jackie is just as real in life as she looked on the show and acted on the first episode like most of us would if we got liquored up!! Too bad they only keep 1/2 the contestants for one damn show !
sfomelissa: Thanks for the insight. Wonder what the heck is Teresa’s problem…
#152 Sher — holey moley, Erica Kane = Stephanie — I see it!
I don’t think that Natalie’s comment regarding the lack of iPod or Blackberry access was irritating to people, it was the tone and the manner in which she expressed her attitude about it. Maybe that’s precisely what it is with her, in a nutshell: Attitude with a capital A! And as we are all aware (as #154 Terry comments), there were plenty of attractive, considerate women among the 25, probably equally frustrated at their lack of tech access. Too bad they didn’t limit Melissa’s access to tank tops and scarves — she’d probably have flipped out over that!
Awesome stuff. So much attention to detail. Love it!
#6 Emily: I don’t think Jessica Simpson when I see Melissa. I think Mandy Moore.
Also, one of the rejects, I can’t remember her name, she looked like Sandra Bullock to me (it’s bugging me that I can’t remember her name now).
158 Janine: It’s Nikki! She was the beauty queen. I saw it too, mainly in the first episode. I remember her with her crown and sash dusting her table. It was so weird, but all I could think was “Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality.”
#156 – I just google ‘chris harrison bachelor blog episode 7′ or ‘women tell all’ (whatever episode you are wanting to read his recap for).
#159 – there were a few times when I was watching Stephanie that the Erica thing really hit me, but I’d have to go rewatch n note the exact time in the program.
yes!! nikki is the one that looks like sandra bullock, which i also thought all along.
i am NOT a fan of natalie or anything, but i don’t actually think blackberries are necessarily superficial. i mean, for me, my cell phones keep me in touch with my family and friends who are the most important to me. which is not superficial. so even though i do love OHCH, i actually don’t agree with him that blackberries and ipods are superficial things. i also don’t think music is superficial, but that’s just me!
I like Jillian but I do NOT want her as the next bachelorette. She talks way too fast. It’s a big country (two if you count Canada). Can’t we find a fresh face out there? Of course, my first preference is another bachelor. I think overall it works better in that format.
#157 Terry R you must have missed the first episode…Jackie was looney tunes. At the end she was going on and on about needing to get married or something, and then mentioned that she’s had 1 broken engagement and a divorce so I think she’s got some issues, that’s a lot to happen by the age of 26.
Ha Paul – better format or you just prefer 25 girls to one girl?
I myself think the Bachelorette is a better format of course!
You are SO funny. I am bookmarking your blog. It’s as if the clouds had aligned.
#155 No, I did not make it on another season. Shortly thereafter met my husband and now have two kids and live in Houston. (Shoutout to Lincee from Kingwood!) Thank goodness!
Oh, and I love reading blogs, so for all of you that want some behind the scenes stuff, I have mentioned before, but go and read Kate Brockhouse’s blog from Andy’s season. Just google kate brockhouse blog and you will find it. She has several posts from 2007 that talk about her season and behind the scenes stuff. I don’t know how she did it without getting in trouble because she talks about a lot of stuff. Anyway, interesting reading.
I figured it out! Jason is from Seattle where it rains a lot, so he is used to seeing clouds-not stars!
LINCEE!!! maybe Cesar the ‘limo driver’ really is The ABC Intern! Altho he did look a little aged to be running around fetching………things. Maybe that’s the shocking secret, the great unveiling of the Intern! And yes, AMEN…that’s why we love OHCH.
#169, thx for the behind the scenes blog scoop. Will have to check it out.
Did anyone just see Jason on the View? They asked some really good questions -interesting….
I didn’t get to see it, but here’s the snippets that a girlfriend told me. She said they were brutal.
He denied the RS rumor.
He didn’t answer if he was engaged. Said the girl is moving to Seattle.
They asked if he slept with them and he said he wouldn’t talk about what he does behind closed doors and then said that physical was an important part of deciding (gag).
He said he has feelings for all the girls including Jill.
Hey, check out People.com. They have just posted a new interview with Jason, and I think it is pretty interesting!
Okay, regarding Natalie’s comments about not having her blackberry or ipod – - I for one am attached to my blackberry. I can’t stand being without it. However, Natalie was attributing her “bad attitude” to not having her blackberry and ipod. As much as I love my crackberry, you wouldn’t see my attutide towards others change because I’m without it. I think OHCH was just trying to make her realize how ridiculous her excuse was in the first place.
#165 Paul – -don’t be hating on the fast-talkers!!! Maybe you just listen slow!
Haha
I watched the View segment yesterday and the only thing he said in terms of rumors was that he didn’t know if he had heard all of them but one thing he wanted to say was that the idea of a conspiracy was a lie…that in no way would he allow himself to be coerced…he didn’t respond to any other specific rumor and didn’t comment on the RS rumor a all. He didn’t respond about being engaged just said he was happy…he looked a little uncomfortable at this point…but he relaxed and does seem happy!
Rumor in Dallas is that Melissa dumped Jason after the proposal when an old boyfriend contacted her and wanted to get back together, now that she is famous…hence the extra hour to help Jason find true love. Aren’t there contracts about “new” relationships until the finale airs?
Either way my husband still loves Mel!
Read the post first?
“This is a reminder to please NOT put spoiler comments on this post.”
Thanks.
Chickpea,
Take a chill pill. Dallas scoop is rumor, not a spoiler!!!
#178- Dallas Scoop- to add to your rumor, i was dining out in Dallas last night and Melissa and an unidentified male were seated by us- found it extremely interesting that she would be out in a very public, popular restaurant, the night before the final episode airs, with a guy who was not Jason!! Am wondering if this is the “old boyfriend”?!?!? They left arm in arm, too!
Thanks, but no thanks. The reason Lincee put up another thread was for that stuff. They’re all rumors until the show is aired. Call it what you want.
Don’t. Want. To. Know.
Hey- I didn’t want to know either, but Melissa ruined it for me by going out in public! Not that it predicts the ending, but certainly raises some eyebrows!
Ok, so I have a friend who works for ABC and Lincee you guessed right, he said that there is a 95% chance Jillian will be the next Bachelorette.
