Slaying the dragons

feet1Here’s my recommendation for Jillian:  slay the dude who likes to call you Hot Tub Harris first.  Then move on to the one who thinks he’s God’s gift to women. 

I say keep the foot guy.  For the sake of my website. 

First recap of Jillian’s fairy tale romance on the way.

  1. heidi Said,

    I loved the guy crying on the balcony a la Jason in the season previews. too funny! And the guy who got cut at the end and said “Maybe she doesn’t like guys that are awesome” when he said that totally reminded me of Barney from how I met your mother. I was having a terrible day yesterday, but The Bachelorette totally made it all better.

  2. ME Said,

    OMG, that’s the one line that stuck with me too – about not liking guys that are awesome. LOVED IT!

  3. MarriedWithEyes Said,

    I think she did a pretty good job with the picking. Hate knowing she has heartbreak ahead with some less than honest men. But I think our Jill is up to the task. Can’t wait for the recap! Some many things were said that I made a note to self that Lincee would comment on. I know she won’t disappoint!

  4. Pokesfan Said,

    OMG!!!! Most of those guys were total tools. I almost peed my pants when the guys at the end said “Maybe she doesn’t like guys that are awesome” I am sure Jillian does like guys that are awesome you however are NOT awesome. And what was with the guy that was almost in tears after the first night??? Oh this will be a great season I can feel it! Right now my favorites are Juan and Sasha! The feet guy has got to go, he freaks me out!

  5. cheekymonkey Said,

    OH MY GOD, that foot dude freaks me out!!! What great material you have to work with… I almost think I need to watch the show again…seriously..

  6. StephanieG Said,

    Who loved the hot salsa music playing every time Juan appeared? WTG ABC intern!!

  7. Jenna Said,

    I loved last night! Boys are so hysterical. My favorite line was: “Has anyone kissed her yet? Because I will punch you in your face.” Priceless!

  8. Susan C Said,

    I like Sasha too! I wonder, does Lincee perhaps know this person? Lots of exceptional material to work with. The guys provide much better fodder than the women do.

  9. Leslie from Austin Said,

    Speaking of slaying the dragons… How great was it the JT won Survivor. He was just too cute!

    I only got to watch the first 30 minutes of Bachelorette (watching the rest tonight) but my first impression was – Poor Jill! There seems to be an overabundance of losers this season. Hopefully she will be able to weed through them quickly to get to the good ones. Sadly, my first impression of the Austin musician was not a good one. If he sticks around, I hope he lives up to the role of Austin Hottie.

  10. Lauren Said,

    I sat there laughing my head off last night thinking about this recap today… They gave you LOTS of good material this season!! :)

  11. Christi Said,

    An acquantaince of mine told our mutual friend that she has a date with one of the bachelors this weekend. I think it was Brian from Atlanta? I think he was the one out-talked by New York City guy, Goofy, I think his name was…. no, maybe Kyle?

  12. Lazy Mom Leslie Said,

    I predict Jake the pilot will go far! He was my pick from the profile pictures and I’m thrilled that he seems nice and genuine in person as well.

  13. Logan Said,

    Hey – I don’t usually watch the Bachelorette but did because I heard about the foot dude. Yes, I am one of those dudes with a foot fetish….

    I watched as I wanted to see how he was portrayed. Yes, foot guys are often..er, always…portrayed as weird, perverted, etc. Sadly, I guess that is how Tanner P came across. But hey, at least he wasn’t a bad looking dude..

    Hopefully he can redeem himself and do us foot guys proud, that is what we were hoping, he’d represent! We shall see…

    I am just a normal dude, with a foot fetish of course, but smart enough to know to keep it to myself. Were I on there, I wouldn’t have been so open about it and feet are not a dealbreaker to me. But I give him credit for not hiding who he is I guess.

    I gather he didn’t do much to make you think much of foot guys huh? lol

  14. N Said,

    I like the “Kryptonite” guy the best. I think he is one of the only ones worth keeping. The pilot is hot, but a disappointment, I didn’t get a great first impression on the Austin guy either, Dave is a tool to the other guys, and the foot guy has got to go. He will make for some great recaps though. I can’t wait for the recap this week.

  15. linceefan Said,

    She also needs to wave goodbye to the guy calling her a “sassy minx” or something gross like that…

  16. Leslieb Said,

    I agree with lincee – hot tub harris has got to go. What a charmer…Jillian seemed pretty bugged but i couldn’t remember which one he was – did he get a rose?

  17. Kendall Said,

    Leslie – I totally agree about liking Jake the Pilot. That tiny little dimple just under the corner of his mouth is killing me!

    My hubby was about to pass out during the 19-rose long Rose ceremony…. GAH! That was epic.

  18. Kendall Said,

    Leslieb – it was Brian with an ‘i’ that kept calling her Hot Tub Harris and “Sexy little minx…” And yeah, she gave him a rose. I was STUNNED that she did.

  19. Steph Said,

    The foot guy creeped me out. I loved the Pilot. Jake. Hot stuff. I haven’t seen it all. But the fact that several have girlfriendss tsk tsk!!!

  20. Miss Yvonne Said,

    Some of the guys are iffy and obviously there is going to be some may-jah drama (or creative editing by our good friends at ABC). Jillian seemed off of her game with all the nervous one liners-”cool”, “totally”.

    The foot guy was freaky!

  21. adriana Said,

    That foot guy??? SERIOUSLY creeped me out! Ew! I hate feet!

  22. witchy woman Said,

    Although pilot Jake is rather hunky something just doesn’t seem right there. He talked about airplanes and being a pilot WAY too much except the casual thud of the rest of his family being doctors. I hope I am wrong.

  23. adriana Said,

    I liked the Kip guy best. I think he’ll go far, as long as she can get past the weird other half of his name.

  24. Jenn Said,

    I agree that foot guy has got to go! I hate feet too! My bottom three were foot guy, Bilbro, and Kyle and my top three were Jake the pilot, Juan from Argentina (just sounds romantic), and Wine Maker for obvious reasons. I figure marrying a wine maker would save me ALOT of $$$$$$!

  25. Kari Said,

    I think Jake’s the cutest, for sure. My first impression rose would’ve gone to Caleb, because he was GORGEOUS, but Jillian didn’t even talk to him at all, and he’s already gone! Bummer!

  26. Anna Said,

    Witchy Woman, agreed. Dated a few Navy pilots (where a lot of airline pilots get their start), and my girlfriends and I laughed about surgeons and pilots both being major ego freaks. Sounds like it’s a family tradition.
    Maybe producers are forcing her to keep creepy Brian? And Simon the English giant? Wonder if he enjoys making draweryings.

  27. Ear Said,

    Did anyone wonder where jillian’s make-up went at the end of the night when she was talking to OHCH? She was looking ROUGH! They gave her some HOTTIES! I think the no black guy thing would cause a storm today, apparently not. I wonder if she requested it? Hmmm……

  28. BD Said,

    So Jake the pilot was my front runner until he said, “I mean, what do you say to an angel?” Seriously!!!! I still think he is the hottest, but I can no longer root for him. In fact, I rewound to listen to him say it again and told my husband if he did say that, I couldn’t root for him anymore. What a tool. I do think he’ll go far though…

    I like Sasha and Kypton, or however you spell his stupid name. I’m so glad Bilbro is GONE. What a loser.

  29. tiffany Said,

    what about the guy who’s from Houston that is the oil and gas man… Lincee do you know him? I think his name was Sasha.. he got a rose I am pretty sure.. it was late last night and they kinda all ran together…

  30. saggleo Said,

    Ear – I noticed the no black men thing then just went…ah whatev…to each is own I guess. Didn’t really take a offense to it…and heck there were quite a few lookers for a sistah such as myself that I can get over that! lol

    I like Kipton (sp?) I think the best. I hate she didn’t pick Caleb…ooohhh was he smoldering looking. I don’t know but he would have been on my list! I like the pilot Jake, but we’ll see what happens I guess..the angel bit was a tad too much. Footie needs to go …or he needs to tone down the footie talk. (however, Lincee will make that great material). I like Juan but some was bugging about his apparent um…I don’t know what the word is…but he was bugging me near the end at the rose ceremony.

    Dude all kinds of wrong w/ whomever is on here w/ a girlfriends already…it better not be Kipton or I’ll be crushed!

  31. Kendall Said,

    OH… my hubby hated Juan from Argentina, only because he’s a “leaner”. He was seriously in Jill’s personal space during their one-on-one chat on the couch, and we were just waiting for him to reach over and touch her face, like push her hair behind her hear, touch her nose, etc. I sorta like him, but the leaning was intense.

    SO GLAD Kyle is gone.. that Members Only jacket was getting on my nerves, and he looked so much like James Spader in “Pretty in Pink”, ego and all… EWWWW.

  32. Logan Said,

    I can’t believe that no girl on here ever goes barefoot outiside hoping a guy will notice! Ok…maybe I can believe it..lol

  33. ab3 Said,

    BD, I so heard that comment too! And then I immediately had flashbacks of Jamie Walters singing “How do you talk to an angel” and thought “Lincee will have a hayday with this!”. But, I am still rooting for him. He is hot and sweet. I also like Kipton. They are my two favs so far. And, although Steve the lawyer, was NOT cute or a catch, he would have been funny for entertainment purposes. Did anyone else catch in the videos at the front where he was leaning up against something and watching women pass by and a cute one did and he said “Hey, how’s it going?” and was totally ignored and then he said something like “OK, maybe not”? I almost peed my pants laughing so hard. And then when he said “Well maybe she just doesn’t like awesome guys” I was literally crying from laughing so hard. Priceless!

  34. Princess Said,

    Did anyone notice how horrible & creepy Jillian looked in the “deliberation” room? Her eyes looked weird & her hair was darker.

  35. N Said,

    Does anyone else wonder why she chose Brad, and sent John P packing? Such a disappointment. I think what is weird with Juan is that he does lean in too much, and talks kinda girly too. Oh…and Jake, my husband is a pilot too, and he was not impressed, and he was a tool. Not representing the pilots too well I guess. He is still the cutest though. :)

  36. mothercita Said,

    OK, I agree that most of these guys are FREAKS!! Especially the “Hot Tub Harris”/”Sassy Minx” dude! I can’t believe she kept him. Yikes. He reminded me of a guy I once saw dancing with a column at the edge of the dance floor as if it were his partner. Aahh, the disco days!!

    My fave bach so far is Kiptyn, who will be known as “Kipling Dynamite” at my house. He came across as rather humble for a dude of such hunky good looks!! I’m 100% sure he’ll find his soul mate.

  37. ab3 Said,

    Princess, honestly I think she was drunk. Ever notice how after people have been drinking they look totally different (think all those college pics at the bar). I noticed that too, but just thought she had one too many glasses of wine.

  38. Princess Said,

    ab3, good call…..she did have several glasses of wine.

  39. AggieFan Said,

    I don’t know about y’all, but I didn’t get a chance to watch it last night and was SO looking forward to watching it online today when, lo and behold, the idiots at ABC decided not to have the Bachelorette as one of the free episodes anymore. Nice ABC. I CAN’T watch on Monday nights, so there ya go. You lose one viewer. I am peeved. I love this show and I LOVE Lincee’s recaps. I guess I will have to live vicariously through all the wonderful posters. And before anyone mentions it, no, I do not have TiVo or DVR…don’t even know what they are. I’m so mad!!!!

  40. saggleo Said,

    Logan…I may not go out barefoot, but I’m not particulary huge on feet myself, and well only sorta kind of like mine. So I’m usually self-conscious if I’m wearing sandals or something and wonder what people think. LOL. I’m working on it though…as long as the shoes are cute I don’t so much worry about..and of course…gotta make sure the pedi gets done so it’s a nice looking package.

  41. Tikibabe Said,

    not so happy with the “music man” wes. seems like he’s all about the fame and nothing else. oh and “sassy minx” guy is a tool. plus, the moment a man tells you about double wide trailer parks and that he’s a big redneck at heart is the moment you should probably start running away…

  42. Alicia Said,

    Thus far – I really like Jillian. She seems very normal and girl next doorish. She seems like she could be your best girlfriend, and you wouldn’t be afraid for her to be alone with your fella. Most of those girls from other seasons were very pushy and self-centered and self-serving. I think our hotdog girl is a keeper. If I were a guy – I would want to date her!!!

    My favorites were Kypton and Sasha. I liked the idea of Jake the pilot, but he really seems to be on an ego trip. My 20 yr. old daughter loved the break dancing guy. And, I’ll have to admit – he really was cute and had a fun personality too. But does he really make a living as a break dance instructor? Seriously?

    To give Tanner the foot guy the benefit of the doubt, he was probably fairly liquored up when he was talking about the feet. But of course, so was everybody else, and they weren’t going off on the feet. I hope she keeps him for a while just for sheer entertainment. Something about him reminds me of the odd guy from DD’s season.

    Does anybody else think that David (who lost his words) reminds you of The Rock?

  43. Jenna Said,

    Second best line of the night, after the 5 extra dudes were introduced: “Do we get to physically fight them?”
    I don’t know about the foot thing. I think the poor dude decided to put his fetish out there just so he could stand out on camera, and he wound up with a massively bad dose of editing. I mean, he probably wasn’t nearly as creepy as he came across – why else would Jillian keep him??
    All I could think while they were doing his one-on-one time was that he must have watched “Boomerang” a few too many times – especially when he was talking about feet being “mangled”, etc.

  44. Lb17 Said,

    I thought the foot dude was gay — sparkly jacket and all. I liked Sasha and Kip. I wanted to feel bad about the guy that lost his words, but he was the one that kept commenting about fighting people (maturity problem). Glad the lawyer is gone. I would have ditched the Hot Tub Harris guy before the cocktail party even started. Jake is cute, but a little wimpy. And that Bilbo guy was a tool.

  45. heidi Said,

    Oh and I also enjoyed the talk of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band when Mathue showed Jilly his hat. Maybe they’ll get to do some “fishin in the dark” bom chicka wah wah. Fishin in the Dark is the best Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song ever.
    Super sad that there was no talking to Caleb- my sister and I have a theory that he is a normal Christian and they had no way of portraying him as a crazy Christian. That being said, i’m moving to Nashville to find him.

  46. Jovigirl1 Said,

    I just have to put this out there – my favorite was Ed. Does anyone remember him? He was one of the “extra” 5 from Chicago. He seemed so at ease and NORMAL while talking to Jillian! Just something about him! My vote is for Ed, all the way!!! There were lot’s of hotties, and lot’s of notties! Looks like a great season, can’t wait for the recap!

  47. My Life on the C List Said,

    Logan, I can’t believe I’ve read the same post from you in three different places now. I get it. You like feet. ;)
    I think the foot guy was creepy and not because he likes feet, but because he couldn’t just have a normal damn conversation with Jill. Dude, there will be plenty of time to see her feet later. Chill.

    I also wonder if I was watching the same show as the rest of you, because – despite the fact that most of the guys are weird – I found most of them rather uninteresting and unattractive. I was BORED. I’m hoping Lincee can pull a nugget of gold out of the pile of steaming poo that was last night’s episode

    And is Jilly’s d-bag meter broken or what? No wonder she ends up with dudes who still have gfs and another set of dudes who don’t even have the cajones to tell her who the dudes with gfs are! I mean, she kept “hot tub” Harris/I don’t like diversity dude? And creepy “I’m not listening to a word you say because i want to see your toes” dude? WTH? Please tell me Fleiss made her do it!

    Anyway, I’m calling Juan as the final one for Jilly and Sasha as the final one for Linced. I’m just sayin’….

  48. Leslie from Austin Said,

    OMG, I forgot about the guy who “lost his words”. Hysterical!!!!! I kept waiting for him to say “These are definately not my underwear” or “I’m an excellent driver”.

  49. Kiley Said,

    Aside from the self-proclaimed “awesome” Bob Saget lookalike lawyer guy, I have no idea which guy was which last night. She certainly has a type, doesn’t she? (not that I’m complaining…it was round after round of HOT, I just needed them all to be sporting “Hi, my name is” nametags the whole time)

  50. swirlyturtle Said,

    I can’t believe no one has mentioned Ed yet… how cute was he?! (He was the sweet, normal one out of the last group of 5.) Jake and Kiptyn and the wine guy also stood out.

    I agree with the Tikibabe who thinks that Wes is in it for the exposure. That dude creeped me out.

    I loved Jillian’s dress and thought she looked smokin’ in it, but the train was all dirty from dragging on the wet pavement. She did look a bit rough by the end of the night… but that’s part of why you gotta love Jillian. She’s a normal girl, that happens after a long night and a few glasses of wine.

    Sooooo looking forward to this season. I totally heart Jillian, plus I can’t wait to find out which dudes have girlfriends already and who is there to be the next Bachelor.

  51. saggleo Said,

    Oh and I think Mathue was a hottie too. Gotta love a country boy!!!

  52. Logan Said,

    LOL – Ok, so I went overboard in a futile attempt to defend my kind – the foot lovers of the world! I just had heard about the guy with the foot fetish on there, and watched, thinking to myself, “oh please please let this dude look like Patrick Dempsey and be charming and come across as normal and give us foot guys a true standard bearer”…and then… that… yikes.. Sets our cause back decades!

    I just think the guy got some booze in him, decided to admit he like feet and through booze and editing, bam! OH well… I have done my part for us foot guys. lol

  53. saggleo Said,

    Jenna – agreed! I remember saying…who are you Eddie Murphy?!?! Hilarious!

  54. sissy Said,

    On a related note, last night Melissa described her time on DWTS as “an amazing journey.” I sort of wondered if it was some secret shout out to Jillian.

  55. Tessa Said,

    Logan, I understand where you’re coming from. My mother is a woman who notices, and will compliment or critique, people’s feet. She frequently will point out a picture of a celebrity just to comment on the state of their feet.

    I think last night’s error was the obsession about seeing the feet as soon as possible and declaring all his thoughts on the matter on national TV. Ah well. Perhaps he will be around long enough to redeem himself and all foot lovers out there.

  56. Entertained Said,

    Definitely like Ed too. He was a fave. Super cute. Kiptyn and Jesse were my favs. Foot guy is totally gay. Cant quite put my finger on it, but something about Pilot Guy just doesnt seem right. Yeah, he’s cute, but a little too suave and arrogant or something. i dont know. And also so LOvED Julien (Julien and Jillian,,, awww). Juan was hot, but I think he’s going to turn out to be a jerk. he seemed to be getting upset becasue he wasnt getting attention. And thought Breakdancer was a total tool at first, but totally adored him by the end.
    Oh, and about the no black guys. As a black woman, I think Id rather that, than some random token black guy thrown in just to say there was a black guy and he get eliminated the first or second night. If they’re going to do it, they need to do it correctly and have good representation, like 5 or 6 or more, to make it have a point.
    Loved the show, loved most of the guys and cant wait for the season and for Lincee’s comments!

  57. Allie Said,

    If you need something to tide you over until Lincee’s recap is posted, may I suggest OCH’s blog. He’s back to blogging and is on fire…http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/05/chris-harrison.html

  58. Entertained Said,

    Oh and, for me, creepy foot guy wouldve been eliminated based on the shiny jacket alone. What a d-bag!

  59. vitavetagirl Said,

    swirlyturtle – i totally agree about Ed….he gets my vote

  60. Lovethisshow Said,

    Top 5:

    5. Jesse
    4. Mike
    3. Sasha
    2. Ed
    1. Kiptyn

    *Jake is smokin hot, but I agree that something is not quite right. We shall see!

    Lincee, who are your top 5?

  61. newfan Said,

    Of course the biggest d-bag of the bunch, Tanner P, with a foot fetish and a horrible jacket is from Dallas. He totally represented the Dallas d-bag population and is more proof of why I’m still happily single! Keeping my fingers crossed that Jake the Dallas pilot turns out normal, though I’m betting he’s the one with the gf!

  62. My Life on the C List Said,

    LOL Logan! If it makes you feel better, I once dated a foot guy, and he was SMOKIN’ hot. But guys who look like that generally don’t go on television looking for love (unless they’re secretly out looking for a career in entertainment), and if they do, they usually know better than to reveal their fettishes and sexual proclivities on the first episode. That’s generally the kind of ammo you don’t want to give coworkers. I do agree with you, though, that the dude was probably drunk. In fact, A LOT of those dudes seemed drunk getting out of the limo. Way to make a first impression, fellas!

    Oh, and I meant to mention earlier that the hubby and I also noticed the lack of men of any color except Juan and the other dude who claimed to be Peruvian – neither of which had much color. I figured after 13 seasons, ABCno longer felt the need to throw in a hot but token Asian, black or Latino guy, since the demographic of people who watch the show is pretty much set.

  63. Lauren Said,

    Welcome Back ladies and gentleman (yes i read one male poster)
    I’m totally head over heels for The pilot guy from Dallas, he’s H-O-T.
    We thought Jillian goes nuts in the hot tub scene wait till he takes her to the “mile high club”

  64. D Said,

    I went into last night loving Jillian, but she was kind of bugging me by the end of the show, for whatever reason. But, I am not giving up on her.

    I agree that Juan might turn out to be the “Trish” of the group. (Jesse season — hot, but flipping crazy.) I totally dig Sasha too, and not just because I have an oil and gas background. Pilot is cute, feet guy made me want to vomit … I think this season is going to be good!

  65. Jenny Said,

    Dude who lost his words should have said, “I carried a watermelon!” Bah! I didn’t find him as charming as Jillian did. Minx dude, Billbro, foot guy…all tools. More were tools…but I can’t remember their names LOL. I like Ed, Julian, Sasha, and Juan. And the wine guy (name?). The pilot is hot…but I don’t trust him for some reason. And the angel comment was barf inspiring! I love Jillian though…I’m not a huge fan of breakdancing, but I thought it was cool that she tried it out LOL.

  66. Erin Said,

    Lincee, we are dying here! They gave you so much material to work with. I love how we all think alike while watching the show: “Lincee is going to have a ball with that one!”

    Top 5:
    Jake
    Wes
    Juan
    Sasha
    Jesse

    We shall see. Too many men this time.

  67. Randee Said,

    I like Wes…mostly cuz “guys who play guitars” and even better “guys who sing with guitars” are a soft spot for me…of course, never had one do that for me, but a girl can dream

  68. marla Said,

    oh – i am so MISSING JASON RIGHT NOW!!!!

    totally kidding.

    has anyone heard if they are still together?

    these boys are all dorky. except for a few. but there were too many last night to even begin to remember their names.

    i thought she did a fabulous job – it must be exhausting. and the showoffs – how they force them to be showoffs…i couldn’t watch the end – the ceremony. i couldn’t take it.

    can’t wait for the recap though!!! woo-hoo! go lincee!

  69. Logan Said,

    Hey, so you dated a foot guy who was smokin’ hot? Was it me? HA! Just kidding… but yes, you don’t put it out there on national TV in an obsessive way like that. If you do, then you will be called all the names he is being called on here! LOL I was just looking forward to the foot fetish going mainsteam and getting some respect, but boy that didn’t work out too well! I don’t think he will be able to redeem himself….

  70. Karen Said,

    Think Juan is a b*tch. Did you see his face when someone dared to touch the rose on the plate? That was priceless.

    Great season. Sure hope it works out ok for Jillian!

  71. Drew Said,

    Does anyone know if the episode is available online? Had to miss is, unfortunately. . .

  72. Lex Said,

    Karen – I totally saw that too! That was so funny.

  73. Steph Said,

    Lincee, where is the recap already?

  74. Princess Said,

    Jenny, “I carried a watermelon” is one of the funniest comments!! LOL I love Dirty Dancing!!

  75. Karen Said,

    Oh, in answer to your question about Jason, a girlfriend of mine told me that her friend was on an airplane from Turks/Caicos. Jason, Molly and Ty were on the plane. She said that Jason stood around and was a bit of an a** to everyone there. Then, she said that he and Ty were in first but Molly was in coach!

    Booo. Bad Jason.

  76. Jen Said,

    Did anyone else think the guys were sitting WAY too close to her when they got
    “alone time”? Seriously…they were practically on her lap.

  77. My Life on the C List Said,

    Karen, OMG that is hilarious. Jason is such a d-bag! You think Molly’s still happy she “won”?

  78. Logan Said,

    So I hope the moderator gal here likes foot guys? lol

  79. AU Mommy Said,

    so glad Dildo, oh I mean Billbro, didn’t make the cut!

    Looks like some great episodes coming our way. Monday nights just got way more entertaining!

  80. Alicia Said,

    My feet are flat, my heels are cracked AND my polish is chipping. I would have totally gotten the shaft last night if I had been in Jillian’s shoes….or out of them..LOL!!!! I’m headed out for a pedicure – RIGHT NOW!!!

  81. Alicia Said,

    However, I don’t have any corns or bunions….or mangled toes!

  82. MaggieMay Said,

    I read OHCH’s blog and something he said was very interesting. This time around they are still in production as episodes have started to air. I wonder if this a reaction to last season’s Jason fiasco?

    AggieFan – that bites. Maybe ABC will start airing them next week? They can’t not air them. We can hurt them for you if we have to.

    Karen (#75) – somehow I’m not surprised by that!

  83. Emily Said,

    The guys were funny – can’t wait to see what Lincee has to say…

    The one thing I was totally preoccupied with however was the fact that Jillian was D R U N K. Oh my gosh! Stop pushing the drinks on her! Stop accepting them!

  84. Reese Said,

    AggieFan- I read on the forums a little while ago that the show is only missing online because of a glitch. ABC has said it should be available later today or tomorrow.

    Did it bug anyone else that the guys would lean in to kiss her before they had even introduced themselves. Probably nerves, but it still bugged me.

    I was also surprised at the lack of stupid human tricks that usually abounds on the first night.

    And did the pizza guy make it. He didn’t even get her into the kitchen to test out his pizza theory.

    #56 Entertained, your comment that “Foot guy is totally gay” made me uncomfortable because it seemed like you were equating this creepy weird guy to gays. If that’s what you meant, it would be pretty insulting to gays. I’m just sayin.’

  87. Lex Said,

    #86 – I’m pretty sure she meant that he seemed as if he were gay. I live in Vancouver, so like 60% of my friends are gay and I totally thought he was too. But hey, maybe I’m wrong.

  88. Reese Said,

    Jill sure did keep a lot of d-bags last night, but I guess it can’t be helped when she had to keep 2/3s of the men. Had she cut all the losers last night the season would be really short! Even still, if I were one of the men who had been cut I would be feeling very low right now.

    I agree with whoever said Wes was just in it for the air time. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he is the one with the GF at home. Though, editing made it look like Juan was the troublemaker this season. I hope not. His leaning in didn’t bother me at all. :)

    Anyone else think that John H. reminded you of Twilley from DeAnna’s season. Not sure it if was the looks or just the mannerisms, but I totally thought of twilley.

    O’well, I think it was a great season opener!! Can’t wait for Lincees recap!

    impish: this blog is not intended for the faint-of-heart. Anyone who is easily offended or insulted should skip it…. especially the comments.

    I thought by the end of the show Jillian was getting really crazy. I hope that Jillian doesn’t keep Ed. He is so short and cute and do much better than her. The foot guy needs to stay, he brings excitement to the show.

    #89 – “it was like a car accident” – i agree. well spoken and so true.

  92. Claire Said,

    Lincee, thanks for making the Bachelorette endurable. When my hubby asked why I was watching such garbage, I said “b/c then I know what Lincee is making fun of!!” ha ha! I seriously would not watch the Bachelorette if it were not for your blog. And it was totally LOL when the breakdancer came out. Where did the intern find him? People Can NOT think this stuff is ‘real.’ Oh my! Can’t wait to read the recap!

  93. Alison Said,

    I must say, my favorite part of last night was the fact that they kept subtitling the British guy. I just about spit my wine out all over the place!

  94. Leslie from Austin Said,

    impish – chill out, it’s a blog, not the bible.

  95. sharongracepjs Said,

    # 31 – Juan is a major space invader. You got him totally pegged as a leaner.

    I did my own recap this morning, and now I’m thinking I shouldn’t have bothered! I can just enjoy IHGG for the rest of the season!

  96. ab3 Said,

    I totally noticed the guys invading Jillians personal space too! I even rewound it a couple of times for my husband too see how up in her face a couple of the guys were. It was really bad and if I were her, I would have said something.

  97. Leslie from Austin Said,

    Oh and by the way Lincee,

    I don’t know what time it is in Houston but in Austin it is 3:57 and still no blog. I understand you probably think you have more important things to do but I just don’t see how. Talk with your boss about taking every Tuesday off so we don’t have to wait.

    3:58….

  98. Princess Said,

    #93: I love how every season our posts involve us drinking wine while watching show! Must be how we can tolerate each season….that & of course our beloved Lincee’s recaps!! Love it!!! Cheers to a fabulous & entertaining season!! :-)

  99. kitinoregon Said,

    As for Jake talking about being a pilot…here’s a classic joke oft told by flight attendants–
    How do you know when your first date with a pilot is half over?
    He says, that’s enough about me, let’s talk about flying!

  100. Katie M Said,

    I am so happy Lincee is back. It totally makes my Tuesdays.
    Glad the lawyer and the jacket guy are gone.
    Can’t wait until she gets rid of the guy who keeps bringing up the hot tub scene. Classless!
    I really thought the break dancer reminded me of Jesse and look how that turned out. The musician from Austin made a terrible impression, as did the foot guy. Texans generally do pretty well on these shows, but not last night.
    Don’t they film all night? Drinking and staying up all not is not a good combo.
    I still think she is the cutest bachelorette ever and her clothes in the previews make her look so classy.

  101. Susie-KC Said,

    Anyone who says the word “like” more than once in a breath has to go…..immediately. Seriously, can they not have this conversation with everyone before the season starts??? I didn’t even make it to the rose ceremony last night….I’ll have to live it through the recaps. BTW….it’s 4:30pm….where’s the recap? :-)

  102. Sheree Said,

    Re: the foot guy–so creepy the way he kept glancing down at her feet and wouldn’t look at her face–I’d feel the same way if he kept looking at her breasts–yuck!!! And did he really say “eagle claws” when he described someone’s toenails–ewww!!!

  103. true Said,

    Seriously!!! I’m dying here! Stuck in state legislature appropriations budget meetings and the only thing keeping me sane is the promise of the re-cap. Tick-tock-tick-tock…

  104. Jeanne Said,

    My friend dated a guy who turned out to have a foot fetish. He was always wanting to suck her toes. Yikes! Looks like we’ll have plenty of man-drama this season. I’m hoping for a big ol’ bar fight to break out.
    BTW, the fluid in Jillian’s class started to look clear as a bell and I figured she’d switched to water – then she kept the Hot Tub Harris guy. Not good.

  105. Shelley Said,

    I didn’t care for Ed at all. His body language was turned away from her (especially how he crossed his legs) and I got the impression that he was there because his mom liked her. Can’t stand Wes. I know a couple of guys who look and act like him, and while you’re looking into each other’s eyes he has managed to scan the room to see what who be better.

    I liked Reid for some reason. We didn’t see much of him, but he has a cool name and I thought he was really attractive. I’m alarmed at how attractive I found the breakdancer. I’m a buttoned up type who is old enough to be his mama, but mama likey!

    Jake made an excellent first impression, but something isn’t quite right there, I can’t figure out what. Sasha is adorable.

    And what is up with having the shiny, wet flagstone walkway that ruined the bottom of Jillian’s dress?! Can’t they polish the rocks and keep them dry, or give her a dress that doesn’t have a train?

  106. LinceeFan Said,

    Lincee! My school district blocked your website!!! WTF!?! I think you’ve got a few fans in North Houston…

  107. Camille Said,

    I think ABC did a lousy job finding any creative, interesting and smart men who can keep Jill laughing. Sadly, it’s kinda slim pickin’s from a personality standpoint this season. Ed seems really nice and genuine. I think the break dance instructor who makes a living teaching kids how to dance in Brooklyn is totally cool and way up Jillian’s alley. I think Juan might make it far. Anyone who admits to having a foot fetish is just nutters. I hope she cuts him next round. First Impression Rose dude will not survive. CHEEZY and way too macho. Wes is working it for the camera. He is there for himself. How hard is that to see? My take on the way she looked during deliberation with OHCH is that the lighting was way hot (bright) which washed her out completely and the hair stylist did something wacky with her hair to poof it up, which just looked weird. She’s adorable, but bad lighting can make anyone look like crap.
