My original thought was to say the recap was brought to you by Jillian’s unwashed vegetables. But that was lame.
Then I thought about the recap being sponsored by Tanner’s junk.
When I threw up a little in my mouth, I decided against it.
MANGO, MANGO IT IS!!!
SIMPLE DISCLAIMER
The following information you are about to read is of personal opinion. You probably aren’t even reading this because the simple disclaimer has been a part of my recap since the days I emailed this puppy to just a few of my closer friends. HA! Fooled you. You’ve skipped this amusing mockery and will not know what in the world your friends are talking about when they say, “Did you like the new disclaimer Lincee did?” However, if you or someone on your Facebook page happens to personally know, sort of know, know the brother/cousin of, thought you saw in the grocery store buying leftover Easter candy or have a Jazzercise instructor that looks exactly like one of the Bachelors on the show…none of this is personal and I’m sure they are all lovely people.
I would LOVE for someone over at ABC to invite me to be in their planning meetings for next season’s Bachelor. Picture it:
Producer: “Well guys. It states specifically here in Jillian’s contract that we must go on dates in Canada to promote the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. What are we going to do?”
Jillian’s Lawyer: “Don’t even think about going anywhere near the border. I’m watching you people. It’s all aboot Canada, eh?”
Executive Producer: “Got it. Geez. We’ve done everything there is to do in cold weather. We’ve been on snow mobiles. We’ve been curling. What is left?”
ABC Intern: “Hot tub. No need to go outside.”
Producer: “No one gave you permission to speak intern.”
ABC Makeup Artist: “Wait. He has a point. I mean, have you seen Kiptynite’s abs? Seriously. WHERE ARE THE HOT TUB SCENES?”
ABC Intern: “Thanks Michelle.”
ABC Makeup Artist: “Easy intern. I’m in this for me. I’d like to see Jake shirtless too.”
Executive Producer: “FOCUS! FOCUS PEOPLE! We need to come up with three dates. Think…what do Canadians do for fun besides play in the snow?”
Producer: “There’s an idea. We could have them play in the snow.”
ABC intern: “Like Marco Polo?”
Producer: “I was thinking more of hide-and-seek.”
ABC intern: “Do I have to go buy them all white outfits so they blend in with the snow? Because that sounds a little extreme to me. I’m telling you. Hot tubs. When in doubt…shove them in a hot tub. I can get some baby oil and…
Executive Producer: “SILENCE INTERN! Hide-and-seek it is. One down, two to go.”
Jillian’s Lawyer: “I think a trip to Lake Ogopogo is just the ticket.”
Executive Producer: “We did that last year when she brought Jason home. We don’t like to repeat.”
Jillian’s Lawyer: “Fine. I think snow shoes are fun. And snow boarding.”
Producer: “Because THAT’S not at all like riding a snow mobile. Don’t you people have an amusement park or something?”
Jillian’s Lawyer: “Have you ever done a show on a train?”
The group looks at each other and a slow smile spreads across the executive producers face.
Executive Producer: “What did you have in mind, Jillian’s Lawyer?”
Jillian’s Lawyer: “The Rocky Mountaineer is a train that takes you all through Alberta. This will make all Canadian parties involved extremely happy to show America what a great country we are and that the stigma of red-headed step child to the north is silly and it’s time for a change. What do you say?”
And there you have it. Too bad nobody thought that Jillian was going to ditch ROBBY D!!! in the Canadian wilderness and leave him to catch a ride on an elk back to civilization, but that’s a problem for the intern to worry about. Am I right?
Jillian greets our eight remaining Bachelors at the red carpet entrance of the Rocky Mountaineer. “ALL ABOARD” she screams, and the guys single file into the locomotive.
A pimped out locomotive! Wow! Jillian’s Lawyer sure knows how to get us excited about trains! The scenery, the dining car, the observation car, the champagne, the…
Disney World Monorail Guy?
Huh. I guess that was part of the deal too. The group has to fight over normal getting-to-know-you conversation as Disney World Monorail Guy tells them that they are approaching a famous lake in 600 feet and if they look to the right, they will see a famous mountain. And after his spiel, he repeats everything in French. Because it’s Canada and that’s how they roll, eh?
First One-On-One
ROBBY D!!!
Jillian is contractually obligated to say that she misses Ed and wants someone to cheer her up…someone who is not so serious. All of our minds go to Michael, but she chooses ROBBY D!!! as her first one-on-one date. Unfortunately, ROBBY D!!! gets duped and is forced to have his “date” in the caboose of the train.
ROBBY D!!! admits that he is really, really, really nervous and borrows Jesse’s fedora to calm himself down. He tells the camera that he has the “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can” attitude and it is at this point that little red flags start going off for me and ROBBY D!!!
Why so nervous ROBBY D!!!??? Let’s get some confidence and show this chick what you are all about. Where do you feel most comfortable? Let’s start there.
ROBBY D!!! listens to me and decides to man the bar and create Jillian something refreshing and not too sweet. He hands her a pink grapefruit martini, straight up compliments himself for being the best mixologist EVER and starts to feel the confidence swell. Now it’s time to wow her with bar tricks. Sadly, since he is in the tail end of a moving train, his normal Cocktail maneuvers are not working. Damn you centrifugal force!
Cups are flying left and right, bottles are crashing to the floor, cherries are landing nowhere near extended toothpicks. ROBBY D!!! begins to look very nervous.
Jillian senses that ROBBY D!!! needs a change of scenery. They go outside on the “back porch” of the train and begin talking. Or trying to talk. Jillian can’t hear a word ROBBY D!!! is saying because of the wind. ROBBY D!!! can’t see Jillian’s face because her hair is flapping everywhere. Both have pink grapefruit martini juice dripping down their fingers because of the turbulence. Then they are sucked into a pitch black tunnel in which I’m pretty confident ROBBY D!!! did not go for the kiss.
Jillian decides that the “back porch” idea was not her best and suggests they move inside for lunch.
Bless her heart. She was rockin’ a pretty serious wind blown look. Luckily, the ABC makeup artist Michelle was there to run a comb through that hot mess.
Jill and ROBBY D!!! talk about the possibility of her meeting his family.
Jillian: “So will your parents like me?”
ROBBY D!!!: “Obviously. My Dad couldn’t be happier.”
Jillian: “And why is that?”
ROBBY D!!!: “Because everyone in my family thinks that I’m going to get married first. I’m the youngest of four.”
Jillian: “Huh. And none of you are married?”
ROBBY D!!!: “Nope. It’s because of the Descant Curse.”
Lincee: “Oh ROBBY D!!! Reel it back. REEL IT BACK!”
Jillian: “Is there a salve you can put on it or some other medication?”
ROBBY D!!! goes on to dig his own grave a little deeper. He talks about how he’s ready to be married…which he follows up with the fact that he’s between jobs.
Later Jillian tells the camera that she thinks ROBBY D!!! is super cool. You know, for someone you want to take to Fire Dance. But if you want a ring by spring, he is not your guy.
Jillian: “I’m not sure he knows where he’s going to live and how he’s going to pay for things. That’s an important quality for me to have in a relationship.”
They go downstairs to Jillian’s room. ROBBY D!!! continues, CONTINUES to tell Jillian that he is very nervous. Then he starts laughing nervously. I’m pretty sure he’s stoked about the possibility of getting to second base and he wishes he knew mental telepathy with Michael so he could tell him and then get a mental telepathy hive five back.
Jillian: “What makes you so nervous?”
ROBBY D!!!: “You do!”
Jillian: “Don’t be silly. Hey…will your parents like me?”
ROBBY D!!!: “I don’t know. I wish I had a bigger vocabulary to tell you how I feel.”
Lincee: “He did not just say that.”
Jillian: “Maybe you should start a bartending school.”
ROBBY D!!!: “Too much work. I’m pretty cool right now living with my parents. I can stay out as late as I want you know. Hey…why are we slowing down?”
Jillian pretends she didn’t hear the question and acts oblivious to the fact that the Rocky Mountaineer has almost stopped in its tracks.
Jillian: “Look ROBBY D!!! I think you are a great person. I think you are ready to fall in love, but not the responsibility that goes with it.”
Disney World Monorail Guy: “Please stand clear of the doors.”
ROBBY D!!!: “Please Jillian. Let me flip a bottle for you now that we have stopped. Want to see me set the bar on fire? Like they did in Coyote Ugly? I know it’s your favorite movie. I have Devil Went Down to Georgia on my iPod…”
Disney World Monorail Guy: “L’éventaire libre de la porte.”
Jillian: “You are totally someone I can be friends with.”
Lincee: Ouch.
Jillian: “Are you someone I would marry? Maybe if you were 10 years older.”
Lincee: That’s going to hurt in the morning.
Back in the dining car, a Rocky Mountaineersman takes ROBBY D!!!’s bags and tosses them out the door. The other Bachelors have their noses pressed to the glass wondering what is going on.
I feel sorry that ROBBY D!!! had to stand sadly in the middle of the train tracks as Jillian waves a tearful goodbye, but you have to admit…that was a little bit awesome.
The boys are doing sign language back and forth, wondering why in the world ROBBY D!!! is not back on the train. He gives a salute, a standard “you’re my boy” sign to Michael and chuckles as the ABC intern hands him his stick with the bandana on the end.
Poor Michael cries because he didn’t get to say goodbye to his friend. It’s like school is over and summer has begun and they have to go home and work in their Dad’s firm until August. But next year is Senior year and they will rule the Sigma Chi house! HEY OHHHH!
Next, Wes tells the camera that he is a man on a mission and that he has an agenda.
FINALLY! I guess it’s best to play the villain. He knows his music is less than mediocre, so he might as well get while the getting is good. Any publicity at this point (even if it is bad) is good publicity in his mind.
In true Wes form, he finds Jillian in her bedroom car and snuggles up next to her, knowing that she would be vulnerable after sending ROBBY D!!! out into the wilderness with nothing but a pocket knife and snake bite kit.
Wes: “Hey Slim. Are you okay?”
Jilly: “It’s hard letting people go, you know? I figure there would be more jerks.”
Lincee: Bless your blind little heart.
Wes: “I just want more time with you. I was thinking about getting your name tattooed right here on my arm. Under “Jennifer” but before “Ashley.” How do you feel about that?”
Jilly: “Oh Wes. You make me so happy. I feel safe with you.”
Wes later tells us that he has an agenda and that Jillian is wrapped around his finger. Believe it.
Group Date
Fetish
Wes
Mikey
Jesse
Jake
Kiptynite
Disney World Monorail Guy lets us know that we are approaching Emerald Lake. Jillian lets us know that we are going snow shoeing.
Fetish spies a pair of red snow shoes that match Jillian’s sweater perfectly. He grabs them and then offers to help her wiggle in the contraption. He grabs some snow and pats it on his forehead to cool himself off. Being that close to her feet is electric!
The rest of the date was about as boring as snow shoeing can be. They walk, fall, walk, fall and then play hide-and-seek. Jake finds Jillian and pretends to lose his footing and falls on her. Because let’s face it…Jake is perfect and would never trip. Well played my friend.
Back at the lodge, Jake begins to get nervous that he hasn’t had any one-on-one time since their first date. He grabs Jillian and they go outside to sit by the fire.
Jillian: “Jake…if I didn’t care aboot you, I would let you go.”
Jake: “You are like my Mama. So nurturing and genuine.”
Jillian: “Do you think your parents would like me?”
Jake: “Oh Jillian. Definitely. You are a classy, classy lady.”
Meanwhile, Michael hypes all the guys up and encourages them to break up the Jillian/Jake time outside. Just as Jake is about to tell Jillian something important, the others come out and bust up the party.
Michael is lost in his moment of triumph by doing a celebratory robot when Kiptynite steals Jillian away back inside. They share a seat that was clearly made for one person.
Kiptynite: “You know the saying that people always want what they don’t have?”
Jilly: “If it’s not Canadian, then I don’t know it.”
Kiptynite: “Well, that’s not me. I always get what I want. But it’s hard for me to be myself around other guys. I’m glad for times like this.”
Jilly: “And I’m glad for times like this. Wanna make out?”
The ABC camera guy gets a close up shot of Kiptynite grabbing Jillian’s butt and they make out with her legs practically straddling Kip’s waist.
Jillian tells the camera that when they are together, their bodies just get closer and it is hard for her to leave him.
Back at the lodge fire place, Michael asks Jillian what she wears in her sleep. Jillian says that she wears a tank top and underwear. If she’s been drinking…just underwear.
Six guys lean forward to refresh her drink.
Michael admits that he prefers sleeping in the nude. He has even gone as far as to hiding clothes under the covers so that no one will know.
Jillian boldly asks Fetish what he sleeps in, if anything.
Fetish: “Well…I can show you.”
And then he proceeds to drop is drawers and show off his tighty whities. And junk. Right there for all of us to see. Tighty whities and JUNK! Then he turns around. And back again. Oh look! There’s the junk! Then he pulls up his shirt and shows off some not-so-horrible abs. But still. The junk is so in your face, it’s unbelievable.
My head starts twitching and the word PINEAPPLE comes to mind.
Jillian: “I’m not ready to see Tanner’s package. Although it was huge, I don’t need to see it. He needed to pull his pants up.”
Later, Fetish takes Jillian away to a secondary fire place setting.
Fetish: “Can I rub your feet?”
Jillian: “Sure.”
I’m not quite sure what their conversation was about, because I was more intrigued by the tiny little tube of lotion that Fetish was using to rub Jillian’s feet. As many of you probably wondered, where did it come from?
Did he make the intern run to his room and grab the complimentary bottle of Crabtree and Evelyn?
No, no. My guess is that home boy carries the lotion in his pocket for such an occasion. It’s nice and compact…just perfect for whipping out in a foot fetish emergency.
Jillian is blabbing on about feelings and connections. Fetish interrupts her and says that her feet are so soft. He encourages her to come to Dallas for hometown dates and promises a super seductive pedicure, complete with Mango, Mango nail polish.
Fetish: “Now that I’ve felt how soft her feet are, I want her feet in my family.”
Preach on Fetish!
Jesse pulls Jillian’s feet away from Fetish and escorts her to fire place setting number three. He is concerned that he does not know how to court Jillian because there are six other guys there vying for attention. He tells her that if he gets a hometown date, she’ll see a Jesse she’s never seen before.
Jillian: “Are you talking about your package? Because I don’t know if I’m ready for that.”
Jesse: “No. I’m talking about Wine Guy Jesse. He’s awesome.”
Jillian: “Will your parents like me?”
Jesse: “I’m 100% sure. There is no doubt.”
This is good enough for Jillian, so they hold hands and make out. Call me crazy, but Jesse is looking pretty good to me!
Michael finally lands some one-on-one time with Jillian and chooses to eat s’mores with her. He laments that he is head over heels in love and that his parents, brothers and dog would disown him if they didn’t get married.
Flattery will get you everywhere Mikey!
Back at fire place setting number one, Fetish comes clean with the boys and confesses that he is the one who let Jillian know that someone had a girl friend. He assures that he didn’t throw anyone under the bus. Wes assures Fetish that he hates tattletales and goes off to write the second hit song off of his new album that debuts soon at a Wal-Mart near you. Look for “Tales from a Tattle” next week on iTunes.
Wes: “I’ve already made six tracks and America heard my song to Jillian. I’ve had the publicity on TV, so I can leave. Or I can stay and get the girl.”
Classy Wes. The girls are going to fall all over themselves to get to you!
Finally, we get a shot of the boys walking to the hot tub. She gives the rose to Kiptynite’s abs.
Jake is disappointed that he was too scared to tell Jillian his true feelings. He asks permission to approach her bedroom car and proceeds to lay his heart out in a mixture of a polished smile and nervous giggles. He tells Jillian that he is crazy about her. When he loves…he loves HARD.
Then he goes in for the kiss and a hug. The ABC camera guy zooms in on Jilly’s eyes and we see it. Nothing. No spark. Jakey is going home.
Second One-On-One Date
Reid
Poor Reid had to stay in the Rocky Mountaineer the entire time the other boys were on their group date. To make use of this time, he goes around and asks the Rocky Mountaineer cook if he should wear glasses on the date or not. The Rocky Mountaineer butler encourages him to tell her how he feels.
I thought this was adorable for some reason. A-dor-a-ble.
Disney World Monorail Guy lets us know that we are approaching Kicking Horse Pass and Lake Louise. Jillian lets us know that from the moment she met Reid, she had instant chemistry. She wants to know if they have anything in common.
First, she wants to know if he can take direction and if he’s adventurous. She wants to snow board and knows that Reid is a great skier. She is ecstatic to learn that he wants her to teach him how to snow board. He’s falling everywhere and getting annoyed, but she loves it.
Then she takes him to the White Witch’s castle from Narnia. Everything, including the beer mugs, is made from ice.
My hat’s off to you ABC intern. You went above and beyond my friend.
Jillian wraps her legs around her man, as she likes to do, and tells him that his ears are red. Then they have a conversation about how that means you either have high blood pressure, or you are horny. Reid admits that he has high blood pressure.
And I love that.
Back inside, Reid and Jillian sit down on the floor to eat fondue. Poor Reid is a bit on the freaked out side and I feel sorry for him.
If I was in this situation and someone put fried chicken in front of me…or boiled shrimp…I would be having problems my friend. No bones or crustaceous animals for me thankyouverymuch.
Reid admits that boiling raw meat over and over and over again in a fondue pot freaks him out a little bit. Then he jokingly says that Jillian probably doesn’t wash her veggies before eating and she admits that she does not.
Gag.
Jillian thinks Reid’s annoying little neurotics are charming and she’s so excited that he is being REAL in front of her. She wants to know more.
Jillian: “What kind of girl does Reid like?”
Reid: “Well, Reid needs a girl that doesn’t talk in third person for one. Second, I need someone who is independent and gets along with my friends.”
Jillian: “Where would we live?”
Reid: “What do you mean?
Jillian: “Well…I live in the sticks. You live in Philly.”
Reid: “You work it out. It just happens. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t.”
Jillian deduces that this means Reid and Jillian figure it out once they are a team. She loves this plan. She flings her leg over his legs and assumes the make out position after giving him the rose.
Rose Ceremony
Our Host Chris Harrison greets the group as they leave the Rocky Mountaineer. He escorts Jillian to the hotel lobby where they discuss the pending rose ceremony.
OHCH: “What is up with Wes? Jilly, Jilly, Jilly…as your mentor, I beg you to open your eyes girl.”
Jilly: “Wes is a southern man and knows what women want.”
OHCH: “Exactly! Finally…some sense is coming out of that mouth.”
Jilly: “We have a special bond. Neither of us have a filter and I love that about him.”
OHCH: “Annnnd we’re back here again. He’s a musician. Doesn’t that worry you?”
Jilly: “At first, he wanted exposure. But he doesn’t know how to lie. He cares for me.”
OHCH: “Intern! Can you get me a Crown and Coke? Thanks. What about Jake?”
Jilly: “He’s perfect. I just wish he was more confident.”
OHCH: “Cut the cord girl. We already have him lined up to be the next Bachelor. I’m receiving texts as we speak. How about that foot fetish guy? Wack-a-do.”
Jilly: “Totally. But my feet have never smelled or felt better. Smell.”
OHCH: “No thanks. And my boy Mikey. You gave ROBYY D!!! the old heave ho because he was only 25. Are you aware that Mikey is 25 too?”
Jilly: “But he liiiiiiiiiiikes meeeeeeeeeee! He said I was pretty once.”
OHCH: “And Crazy Dave said you had a great butt in your Spandex. So what?”
Jilly: “Do you want Jake as the next Bachelor or what?”
OHCH: “Touché.”
Jillian gets dressed up and heads into the hotel ballroom. She’s fidgety and decides to ask Michael one more time if he is ready to have her babies. He says that all he’s ever wanted to be is a young Dad and the only person missing is the forever person in his life.
Roses go to:
Reid
Kip
Jesse
Wes
Michael
Poor Fetish asks Jillian to remove her shoes so he can get a picture with her wicked feet. He pulls out his bottle of Mango, Mango nail polish and starts stiffing. The ABC Psychotherapist is called.
Jake is fighting an emotional breakdown and asks Jillian what went wrong. She says that it just wasn’t right. Jake says that he’s seen this SO MANY TIMES and that if she chooses Wes, she will get her heart broken.
Jake: “Nice guys finish last. Story of my life. I was right there. If she wanted me she could have had me.”
Just when I think Jake is going to be fine and basking in the glory of being ABC’s next Bachelor, we see scenes from upcoming episodes.
Kiptynite’s parents have caution tape around the hot tub. Hilarious!
Wes wants Jillian to meet his band. Of course.
And Jake comes back in his pilot uniform to reveal Wes’ true colors.
Awwwww Jake! Why’d you have to go and do that! Fly off into the sunset and wait for the offers to come pouring in my friend.
We also learn that there will be an addition to next week’s rose ceremony. Oh!
So what do you guys think? Is Wes going home next week? Is Jake going to be at the ceremony? Or will it be Ed? Speaking of Ed, sounds like Hare was downplaying erectile dysfunction this week. Are we believing it?
All about the shame, not the fame,
Lincee
Very funny, thanks Lincee!
Dear Jake, You might be hot, you might be nice, but you are soooo boring. Read some books, watch a few movies. Find something to talk about. Just some advice from someone who doesn’t know you AT ALL.
Great recap! So Wes will get the boot after the over night date (Jilly has to get in his pants), then he’ll come back for more publicity and “sweep her off her feet”. Maybe he’ll have a new, refreshing song by then. He’s totally trying to get on the cover of People and Us Weekly. I’ll bet you a million bucks he is on them both before the show’s finale. Mission accomplished. Except that everyone will be too disgusted with him to buy any album he puts out. What a tool. Keep Austin Weird, Wes!
Jake tries WAY to hard!! Wes is a weasel. And Kip’s abs are A-mazing!
Oh Lincee, I just knew you would get it…the voice on the train is none other than Alex Trebek. My husband said he would believe me only if you put it in your recap, so now he’s convinced I am wrong.
I heart Ed. Bring him back!
Great recap, but can’t believe you forgot one of the best lines in Bachelor franchise history….Fetish refers to his junk and says: “She knows I am blessed.” Seriously?!?
so, i think i found the picture that fetish took of Jillian’s feet before he left…it’s on TMZ…I wish I could post it here.
Maybe I missed something somewhere, but what was the whole Christmas conversation about with Reid? Have they mentioned this before? Is he a JW?
Holy hell…. try outs in Dallas on Thursday…. woohoo!!!!! I’ll be going
Jillian: “I’m not sure he knows where he’s going to live and how he’s going to pay for things. That’s an important quality for me to have in a relationship.”
What did she think would happen if Ed got fired but she fell for him?
Yes, Reid’s last name is Rosenthal, and from his response it seems he is Jewish. I think he’s got a very good sense of humor. Seems much more intelligent than most of the guys. And they obviously have great chemistry.
Great recap Lincee. I also thought the recorded voice on the train, and Disney’s monorail were one in the same. I couldn’t point out who asked if they were looking at lake, or an ocean. It doesn’t surprise me that it’s Wes.
Joan, perhaps Reid is Jewish?
I love your wicked recaps. As a Bachelor(ette) fan and a Baylor girl (04), I found this line to be especially awesome (or wicked, whatever):
“Later Jillian tells the camera that she thinks ROBBY D!!! is super cool. You know, for someone you want to take to Fire Dance. But if you want a ring by spring, he is not your guy.”
HILARIOUS! I would be sad that Jake’s blowing his cool by coming back, but as far as I’m concerned, he can do whatever he wants if he’s going to wear that pilot uniform.
And I think she’s going to bring out Wes’ girlfriend at the next elimination ceremony. Oooooohhhh, can’t wait.
Great recap…though I was pretty bored with this episode as well.
If I lived in Houston I would be scoping out Robby D for sure…he is way cute. And I am on board with tracking Jake down as well…seems like such a nice guy!!
I’d be ok with them making Jake the next bachelor…someone compared him to Andy Baldwin and I think that was my favorite season!
Definitely check out OHCH’s blog this week…hilarious! Apparently Fetish says more than what was aired about his package. Charming.
Oh and I totally have a picture of Brian (the hottie coach from DD’s season)…but it’s on my iphone still…if anyone is interested I’ll email it to Lincee!
I have now spent about 2 hrs. reading blogs, comments, etc. This is not a good thing
Bring back Ed, PLEASE. Reid and Jesse are OK, but the rest of these guys are TOOLS.
I think all the guys are complete cowards for not outing creepy, tatted Wes. Seriously? If you really cared about her, you’d want that sleaze away from her. He also kind of reminds me of a Billy Ray Cyrus from back in the day, and I can see him mooching off his kids’ celebrity in 15 years.
I think the ED guy might be Michael since he did not get the boot last night. He has a friend vibe but I think Jillian would like it to be more.
I can’t believe Wes thinks that his behavior and edit on this show are going to help his career. It might just kill it. One of my friends won a country music reality TV show and her career has not taken off. The music business is brutal. Wes’ manager should see that Wes takes a class on how to act like a human instead of pondscum. His little monologue about tasting fame and it being a part of him was down right creepy. The previews make it seem like Jillian takes him for an overnight date. I really hope she does not do that. Interesting that Wes shows off his band instead of his family. Maybe she doesn’t get to meet them because his family has disowned him.
I like Jake but I am afraid it would make for boring TV. I bet ABC wanted Jake to return to tell her about Wes instead of doing after the rose ceremony. It makes for better TV and prolongs his exposure especially if they want him to be the next bachelor.
I hope that Ed comes back next week. I do not want to wait until the last episode for him to return.
Fetish is, well fetish. But I’ll miss him. I said it last night on last week’s recap (because I waited up for a mini-recap. heavy sigh)….
Mango, mango. I’m wearing orange polish. QUICK! Get me a cotton ball and some remover!
PINNNNE-apple! That’s a fruit Jilly wouldn’t need to wash before cutting. Just sayin’.
It just wouldn’t have worked, Fetish. But Dallas is a big city. Don’t you worry about Jake getting all of the attention from, “All The Single Ladies”… But… If you liked it, then you shoulda put a TOE ring on it. I’m sure you’ll have lots of interesting women coming out of the woodworks.
Go Jake! For coming back to tell her! Wes is nauseating! Can we boycott his cd? Lincee can whip up some t-shirts or something.
Ed HAS to come back or a train wreck is coming. How appropriate to use the train setting for tonight’s show.
Poor Robby D!! Way to go ABC! His pitiful departure is not going to help his family curse.
There’s just something about Reid. The Matthew Perry resemblance, but much better. Those darn glasses. Sure, he’s neurotic. But he sure makes neurotic look good. In the long run, not so sure it’s going to work out with Jilly.
COME BACK, EDDDD!
Dear DFW Airport,
As a frequent flier through your airport it occurs to me that you have been hiding a very vital piece to my overall happiness with your airport customer service. Many are the days/nights that I have spent langushing on the uncomfortable seats in your airport…waiting for 5 hours for my final connection to OKC that I could have avoided by simply driving the 3 hours.
Now I find out that all my ennui and emotional anguish could have been avoided by simply viewing Pilot Jake. Seriously??? Where do you keep him??? Do you keep him back in the private pilot areas and then like a super star…speed him to his plane just before the door closes???
As a customer, and cog in the machine of your economic vitality…I demand that you being parading Pilot Jake through the concourses for all the world to see!
Sincerely,
~True
I would like to meet the girl who lets her boyfriend make out and show affection with another girl for “publicity purposes”, who’s ok with that!! And I’m mixed on Jake coming back I like that he’s calling out Wes, but sad because it gives him a little bit of that pyscho-ex factor to him. But the more embarrassment for Wes the better!!
My hubby and I discussed the whole “should the guys rat Wes out or not” issue and guys are totally “bro’s before ho’s”. I think if they care about her, they would want her to know she’s being taken for a ride….
Lincee….GREAT RE-CAP! I watch the show now just wondering what you’ll be saying about it! It makes the show so much better!!!
I don’t understand why everybody thinks Reid is neurotic. Perhaps it’s because I totally agree with his hesitations. In fact, I would venture to say that Reid, like me, probably thinks that people who don’t wash their vegetables and aren’t proative against salmonella/ecoli are neurotic.
I really like Reida and think ole Jilly Bean should pick him. However, I am confident she will not pick Reid because the bachelors/bachelorettes NEVER EVER pick who I think they should. And of course, they NEVER EVER stay together. Coincidence????….I think not.
Fire Dance? Are you a Pi Phi!?
I had to refrain from guffawing at my desk at work this afternoon and then had to stifle giggles…..great recap Lincee!! One of your best yet.
“Poor Michael cries because he didn’t get to say goodbye to his friend. It’s like school is over and summer has begun and they have to go home and work in their Dad’s firm until August. But next year is Senior year and they will rule the Sigma Chi house! HEY OHHHH!”
LOL!!!!!!!
I thought I might not have to hate Wes – after all, if she kept him around this long, she had to see something in him, right? Maybe it was a bad edit, maybe he was actually genuine, etc.. but then he said the “wrapped around my little finger” bit and sealed the deal of being a total and complete douchebag.
Wake up and smell the asshole, Jillian.
It amazes me how _easy_ it is to have a “connection” with just about every contestant on these shows, aside from the one or two freaks who get booted the first night.
yet watching on the couch at home, it’s pretty apparent that a connection doesn’t really exist with the majority of them. it seems more like summer camp where you spend an hour with a random craft partner making something you’ll never use, like an oven mitt.
I’m over Jillian. She keeps a breakdancer around? Does Michael remind anyone else of the professional snowboarder named Jesse, that Dirty D picked???
I’m surprised, Lincee, that you did not mention the reject diary of Fetish…. the very first thing out of his mouth “Well, I know it wasn’t my foot fetish because she let me massage her feet in front of the fire… so I don’t know what the F*** it was!?” LOL!!!!!! What a a psycho!
Also, does anyone else agree with me that Kiptyn is the most boring guy on the show. All they do is make out and he doesn’t even seem that into her. I feel like he does the least amount of “interviews” out of all the guys. Don’t get me wrong… he is super hot, but thats it.
It’s funny that the Bachelorette (or the Bachelor) all come on the show saying they want to find the “One” and they are “absolutley ready to get married”…. but then, the ones who are most serious and who actually display the qualities and the maturity of a person who is ready to get married…. they get cut pretty quickly. I mean lets look at the guys left…. Kiptyn- probably has girls throwing themselves at him left and right…. Wes- no comment necessary….Jesse- I like him…. Reid- I LOVE him… Michael- he’s 25 and a bit spastic.. i would date him (because I am 25 and not ready for marriage) but come on Jillian. I just don’t get it… I agree with whoever said it “Jillian deserves what she gets”
The next thing you know, Wes will be doing a country remake of “Wrapped Around Your Finger” (by The Police). Maybe that’s the song he will be singing with his garage band next week. Sting would be so appalled….LOL
PINEAPPLE – the safe word. Classic!!!! Way to slip that in again!
I may be in the minority here, but I just do NOT get the energy around Jake. To me he seems terribly boring & not all that interesting. I would hate to see him as the next Bachelor. I would fall asleep. He has absolutely no edge. I had a big debate with my mom last night about this (no surprise, she loves him), and I think you can be with someone who’s not a bad boy but still has a little edge. That cloying sweetness would grate pretty soon for me, and then being hot would only go so far…….
Can someone explain what Jillian thought Michael was going to say to her when she questioned him right before the Rose Ceremony? He’s been jumping all over her like a love-sick puppy dog since the first night. Did she really expect him to say, “Gee, now that you mention it, Jilly Bean, I’m not at all ready to get married at the chronological age of 25 and emotional age of 18. I haven’t really fulfilled all my potential being a professional break dancer yet… Better give that rose to some other guy tonight.”
Seriously.
I think he is absolutely adorable, but based on what we’ve seen, he’s not ready to get married and start having children any time soon.
#32- I agree with you on Jake! He is so awkward…and boring. I LOVE Ed. I want him to come back so I can look at him..but I dont want him to be with Jillian. She’s on my nerves.
Although I like Jake, I agree with others that he would not be ideal for the role of bachelor. However, I think MICHAEL would make a great bachelor. He’s a little different from the kind of guys they usually have. Plus, he keeps me entertained. I would like to see what kind of girl he would pick when presented with more than one option.
#32 & #34 – That’s fine if you don’t like Jake. That’s two less people standing in the way of me and my dream. I need to get rid of my boyfriend, move from Houston to Dallas, and find out what airline he flies for…then he’s mine.
Ok….so HOW did the train know to stop for ROBBIE D!!!!? Did Jillian let the conductor know before the date even happened? Did Jillian pretend to go to the girls room and instead rush to stop the train? Was there a special button she pushed? Did anyone hear her mutter “pineapple”? Any ideas?
I originally like Jake but he did get boring as time wore on. I’m backing Reid now (yes, he’s neurotic but adorable!).
PS: Jillian dropping Robby D!!! off and letting the other bachelors wave to him with his luggage was so humiliating! I felt so sorry for him! Couldn’t they have him exit from the back of the train so the front passengers don’t see his rejection?? Harsh!
#37 and 38: You have to read OHCH’s blog at entertainmentweekly.com. He said the conductor actually passed the train station at which they were supposed to drop off Robby D!!! and they had to put the train in reverse to go back so they could go forward and film the train coming into the station and dropping off Robby D!!! Said it took half an hour to get rid of the poor guy. AWKWARD!
Okay. I fly in and out of DFW…A LOT. I’ve spent COUNTLESS hours in that airport. Bored to death. No more! Now I’ll spend countless hours in that airport looking for JAKE. I’m not above dating a man who is “perfect”… Heck, someone has to do it.
I’m a little surprised about how racy this season is! I mean yes…it’s the Bachelorette, you expect some amount of smut and trash. But it seems to be a little over the edge for a program on ABC that early in the evening. I’m a little conservative that way but whatever.
Thanks to whoever mentioned last week that Jilly continually licks her lips. Now that’s ALL I notice. She does!! Give the girl some lip balm!
i usually fast-forward through the one-on-dates because i find them boring… after all the discussion about reid, i went back and watched it…
Dear Jilly,
Most people do not consider wanting meat to be cooked and fruits and vegetables to be clean an “imperfection”. It is sanitary and prevents diseases.
That’s it. I hope she doesn’t pick Reid for the same reason i hope Jason didn’t pick her – Reid’s too cool for her.
my husband thinks fetish was hiding the bottle of lotion in with his junk… thus the big junk.
clarification: i like reid for the jillian from last season. not this season’s jilly.
Michael would be the worst bachelor ever. If I want to watch a teenage dating show I can turn on MTV. He may be a grown man, but he acts like he’s in high school. I don’t see the appeal at all.
And to whoever made the comment that he can’t possibly be just a break dance instructor…that he’s probably a chief choreographer or something, too…these shows never underplay someone’s occupation. They typically overplay it. They might call someone a financial consultant, for example, when really they’re some low-level flunky at a bank. Or director of something when they’re just a supervisor of something. If the boy had any additional qualifications, do you really think they wouldn’t have listed them? I’m thinking “break dance instructor” is probably a euphemism for “street corner break dancer who solicits donations in a cup”.
I don’t see why Reid’s considered neurotic for washing his fruits and vegetables. In fact, I’m grossed out by the thought of Jillian NOT washing hers. Poor Kiptynite…God only knows what kind of bacteria were on all the stuff they bought at the farmer’s market for dinner. Now I’m wondering if Jillian even washes her hands before preparing food?
And one more thing…I wish they’d have a nice, normal date for once. Why is everything serious physical exertion in the snow? I’m getting tired of Jillian’s whole schtick of “I’m a wacky gal who likes to whoop it up, and you can’t keep up with me”. It’s wearing thin. Those poor guys must be exhausted. One of them’s going to have a heart attack from unaccustomed heavy exertion in extraordinarily cold weather they’re unaccustomed to.
Thank God for dvr’s and the 30-second-skip button. Makes watching this so much easier… not being forced to watch every, “coming up next”… If you have a Comcast dvr, you can reprogram an unused button to act as the 30-second-skip.
Is there anyone who actually felt that Jillian had any iota of a connection or interest in Tanner?
I’m surprised Michael has made it this far. Nice guy but obviously 5 years too young.
Are there any viewers in San Francisco who have watching parties for this show? I think I’m the only single, straight guy in this city who watches this.
Even Chris Harrison is all about the Mango Mango…thanks for putting a smile on my face each Tuesday!!
Thanks for the FireDance reference. Made my day! Although fiji formal might be more fun with Robby so he can use his bartender skills!
To all the Reid-lovers here–the whole “neurotic” thing wasn’t just about the vegetables. Reid himself admitted to being 1) overanalytical, 2) a little germaphobic, and 3) a hypochondriac. The other guys and OHCH said the same thing. It’s more than veggies, people!
Kat – “My hubby and I discussed the whole “should the guys rat Wes out or not” issue and guys are totally “bro’s before ho’s”. I think if they care about her, they would want her to know she’s being taken for a ride….” – I couldn’t help but think the same thing. I think that falls right into the whole “Man law” thing. Guys can be dumb that way. (no offense to any guys who read this blog)
I’m with everyone els here that is posting that they don’t feel Reid being neurotic. He also claimed that he can be a bit of a hypocondriac, and can over analize things. At least he’s honest. He’s also a good sport, not too many guys would have put continued to keep snowbaording after taking so many spills.
Hey, anybody else noticed the pained looks on all of the guys faces when they were all heading to the outdoor hot tub. Guess they all decided to man up, and not go out with a jacket.
I was watching the Texas/LSU game last night before switching to the Bachelorette and there was a commerical for a concert at Sam Houston Race Park here in Houston that featured Wes performing with The Marshall Tucker Band, I believe, or some other band. I went to the website and apparently the The Marshall Tucker Band concert has been cancelled and there is no sign of Wes on the website. Anyone else that lives in Houston see that commercial?? and could maybe shed some light on this mystery? wonder why there was no info about him on the website…hmmmmmm….
I think Wes was supposed to be a ‘warm up’ band for Marshall Tucker, but their concert was cancelled. I think it’s called Karma …
#45 Susan, I think you are spot on about the guys’ occupation titles. But hopefully each of them is honest with Jillian about what they do for a living and don’t hide behind some fabricated title made up for the show. Reid is totally my type and if I were her I would be falling hard for him and hoping that Ed comes back to be the other Finalist. Jesse just doesn’t do anything for me. Kip is okay, but there’s nothing passionate about that guy. I fear that the producers are holding back some footage of Jill and Michael actually making out. I don’t get it that she would keep him on even though there is still no romantic chemistry AT ALL. Could they be hiding that from us???? Maybe he makes it all the way to the finals, but they don’t want to tip us off (kinda like Jesse with DeAnna?)
I too love Jake (so sweet) but think he’d be a horrible bachelor. Way too straight-laced.
I was listening but not watching last night when, during the pre-Rose Ceremony chat with OHCH, he asked Jillian if she thought her husband was in the group. It sounded like she accused him of “throwing around the h-word.” Was that a light-hearted moment or uncomfortable (it seemed the latter without any visual cues)?
Dallas Girls—– Wes is playing at House of Blues on 4th of July.
found it on his website weshayden (dot) com
Marshall Tucker Band’s lead singer’s wife died suddenly. The tour is suspended indefinitely. Karma’s a bitch Wes!
Did I hear Jilly say that Jake was an athiest in her interview with OHCH?
where are the jesse lovers/fans? give me a hot wine-maker from carmel anyday
#53, I don’t think Jillian really wanted to keep Michael. I think she felt obligated. My guess is that if they had footage of her making out with Michael, they would have shown it. She probably felt like he would bounce back quicker staying on another week than the other guys (Jake was getting too attached and would have had a meltdown or something if he stuck around any longer).
I have noticed that there haven’t been any spoilers leaked (that I know of), no shots of a proposal, no hints at a proposal from Jillian- nothing. I think it is one of two things:
1)ABC got lots of angry letters after what happened to Melissa and decided to tone it down a notch or two
OR
2) Jillian is not engaged. The only hint she has given about the outcome is that her friends noticed she is so happy (though I don’t count that as a hint).
What does everyone think? 1, 2, or another theory?
Ok – so as I see it – next week is the home dates – so we do not get any overnights, right? So, they are building up the E.D. or whatever it may be… I think next week’s episode is the showdown between Jake and Wes and the mystery Rose Ceremony attendee is just Jake trying one more time. So, once we finally get to overnights, I do think it is Reid that has the E.D. problem (lack of chemistry in the bedroom – whateves) – maybe she doesn’t brush her teeth before bed and it creeps him out so much he can’t perform? Maybe it is a religious thing? Then, the finale – those are Ed’s feet and his voice (I remember them anywhere) – it is just like Grey’s – Ed is now the erotic dream haunting Jillian while she tries to develop a relationship with Kip/Jesse/Reid – what will she do?????
I think these will be the MOST DRAMATIC EPISODES ever – and I hope there is a Men Tell All!
Also, it seems that Reid is Jewish. I thought last year we learned that Jillian was Jewish too? Am I wrong? I seem to remember bloggers saying that one reason she was good for Jason was their shared religion. All of sudden, though, she is talking about Christmas. What gives?
#59 Claiborne: There are photos out on the FORT site that definitely qualify as spoilers! Of course, that’s not to say it wouldn’t be possible to Photoshop them. But I believe the photos leaked on the FORT in the past have been pretty consistently reliable.
Thanks, Shopgirl. I gave in and read the spoilers last season and am trying to be surprised this season. Needless to say, the buzz about this season isn’t what it was with Jason, Melissa, and Molly. Last time, I just couldn’t resist!
#61 Claiborne, Reid Rosenthal is apparently Jewish, but Jillian isn’t. I think her adorable Grandmother is Polish, but they did not mention a religion. In that conversation about Christmas, Reid was trying to give her some insight about what life with him would be like and he made a joke about Christmas morning and that he wouldn’t have any presents. Obviously, the bach/bachlette have to talk about religion and politics on their dates, but I think ABC mostly edits that out. I wish they would keep it in because it is so much more real.
I hope the talk is true that Ed returns. The photos on FORT.com (fans of reality tv) do provide some spoilers, but even they are stumped as to who makes the finals. I am hoping Ed and Reid.
What do y’all think, do you like Reid better with glasses or without?
I like him WITH glasses. I was disappointed in the train lady’s recommendation, but thought it was cute that he asked her opinion and actually listened to it.
Also, I agree that Reid is neurotic, but I found it charming. In my mind, that made him resemble Chandler Bing even more.
I’m still waiting for Ed to come back and sweep Jillian off her feet. I heart Ed. Sigh.
Reid looks good with glasses and without. Since he went snowboarding, it’s a good thing he chose to go without that day. I am waiting for Ed, too. Totally into Ed. Love me some Ed. Bring back Ed!!!!!
#65 swirlyturtle, I like Reid with glasses. I, too, am waiting for Ed to return.
I would be happy with Ed or Reid winning
Jillian has said several times, “watch out for the ‘H’ word” —– she is not rushing things and saying she’s found a Husband. She’s looking for a POTENTIAL Husband/best friend.
When OHCH said (in the previews) that there would be someone else joining the rose ceremony, there is no way it ISN’T Ed. They won’t let Jakey-Poo come in to the Rose Ceremony… definitely not fair. And just because he can fly his own plane to get there…. pfttt.
I think Ed won’t make it much further than that, though. Although I adore him.
I’m going to go with Jesse and Kiptynite for the win… with the end being too close to call. As for the previews, I didn’t like how tough of a decision it looked like she had to make on the last day, kind of reminds me of Jason’s breakdown after letting Molly go last season. Blech.
Also, did anyone else notice that when Wes was confessing to having fame so close he “could taste it”, he looked really trashed? I thought this would have come up already!
I swear if it wasn’t for your stellar recap, Lincee, I would not be watching thse people anymore. No excitement. No sparks, no electricity. Seems they are spending way too much time and effort doing all these snow sports and zip-lining and the conversation is SO LAME. I can’t understand why they added the five guys in the beginning. More lame guys with nothing to offer. And then letting one or two go at a time??? Its getting to be like torture.
Another feature of this season…is the humiliating send-offs. The guy on the bus and then last night letting Robby out of the train?? Seems kinda cruel.
Okay. I got that outta my system. Now I’ll read the recap! I’m sure it will make me LOL!!!
I read OHCH blog this morning, he said that during the stay at Whistler, Wes got a bit tipsy and wanted to take a cab back to Austin. He was ready to leave. And here he sits, now going on a hometown date. Gag!
I heart Jake. I’ll take boring and stable any day. I guess I simply can not/do not/will not EVAH get the attraction to/for the bad boy and/or the immature goof. Let alone adding unemployed to either.
Oh, wait! It’s because YOU are going to be the one who can/will change them because YOU are the only one who can. Bless your heart(s).
Don’t you all think that Wes talks, sings and tries to act like a young Garth Brooks?
I thought it was hilarious when ROBBY D!!! said he wished he had a larger vocabulary to explain how he felt. That is exactly what I was thinking! Use your words!
And doesn’t Wes understand that no one will like him after the Bachelor because he is such a cheese ass!
my “E.D” theory??? maybe completely off point, but i think it comes down jillian can’t get physcial with wes due to jake calling him out…. thoughts?
i usually get mango mango pedis but no more….. fetish has got to be gay.
i want jake as the next bachelor.
I’m all for a Jake and Ed double bachelor. They live together and date the same dozen girls and dish about how crazy they are….Then they have Brett Michaels come over to offer his advice. Am I the only one who thinks Tanner is gay?
OK – here is my theory re: Ed. My guess is that ABC confirmed that everyone’s parents were committing to the hometown dates (after having Melissa’s parents back out last season). Maybe Ed’s parents were not willing and so they cut him out for that part of the process. Just a guess.
Any Sex & The City watchers out there it hit me last night Fettish reminds me of the shoe salesman who let Charlotte try on shoes just to see her feet and then got…”aroused” by the sight of them. Just sayin. Awesome recap as usual and like others need to stop readin at work as I am contstantly laughing out loud. My faith in Jill grows slimmer each week she keeps that tool Wes around. Luving Reid chatting the train folk up. Here is hoping for an Ed retrun:) Oh and love the return of PINEAPPLE!!!
#78 Elizabeth – Ed’s mom was quoted in the paper talking about Ed leaving because of his job. If his folks were publicity-shy, I don’t think she’d be doing that. I think it really was his job.
So sad she let Jake go, I like the good ones, perfect ones too. Stable, boring, romantic. I am all for the nerd. Nuff said. WES….unbelievable. Such a stinking jerk. I really thought she was smarter than that. I think that if Ed was still here, he would be gone. NO ONE is going to like him after this. Negative publicity is not a good thing jerk head. Fetish, I would love for my husband to rub my feet with lotion every night, but not to be crazed about it, a little freaky. Think that Jesse could be the dark horse here. Hate to say it, but lots came out in the trailers for the next few week. Of course I rewound it over and over to hear the voices and here is what i think; Ed is the one who is coming back in the finale to propose. Has to be him. He was the one that was so hard to let go, and that has been hinted to each week, along with the fact he kept the rose. Its him peeps. Can’t believe he would have much of a chance but, He is the one who makes a return, as far as I can tell. Reid THOUGH I LOVE HIM, is the one who is E.D. its his voice, and talking about wanting to spend the night and saying that he feels like he failed. She feels really strongly about him, and who wouldn’t! I think she will take the chance and keep him, because its his voice again in the finale, saying that he thinks she is confused. Wes gets to the overnights, so apparently even thought straight man Jake comes back to tell her once again that Wes is so much less than she thinks he is, she still keeps him around peeps. WHY, who knows. Its his voice talking about staying in the fantasy suites, I am pretty sure everyone has figured that out.
I think that it comes down to Reid, and Jesse in the finale and Ed comes waltzing back in. Could be it, could be totally not!!! You know how they love to edit and lead us on. We just have to watch and be disappointed, opps I mean, excited!
#65, I love Reid with the glasses–SO cute. My vote is for Reid–it has been from way back when. Though I would love to see him as the next Bachelor.
Great recap Lincee!!!! I LOL so many times I’d practically be quoting your entire blog to list my favorites!
The OHCH and Jillian’s convo did give me a special chuckle – especially these:
OHCH: “What is up with Wes? Jilly, Jilly, Jilly…as your mentor, I beg you to open your eyes girl.”
Jilly: “Wes is a southern man and knows what women want.”
OHCH: “Exactly! Finally…some sense is coming out of that mouth.”
Jilly: “We have a special bond. Neither of us have a filter and I love that about him.”
OHCH: “Annnnd we’re back here again. He’s a musician. Doesn’t that worry you?”
Jilly: “At first, he wanted exposure. But he doesn’t know how to lie. He cares for me.”
OHCH: How about that foot fetish guy? Wack-a-do.”
Jilly: “Totally. But my feet have never smelled or felt better. Smell.”
OHCH: “No thanks. And my boy Mikey. You gave ROBYY D!!! the old heave ho because he was only 25. Are you aware that Mikey is 25 too?”
Jilly: “But he liiiiiiiiiiikes meeeeeeeeeee! He said I was pretty once.”
OHCH: “And Crazy Dave said you had a great butt in your Spandex. So what?”
Jilly: “Do you want Jake as the next Bachelor or what?”
OHCH: “Touché.””
YOU ROCK LINCEE!!!
#79 – Kerri Said, “Any Sex & The City watchers out there it hit me last night Fettish reminds me of the shoe salesman who let Charlotte try on shoes just to see her feet and then got…”aroused” by the sight of them. ”
I remember that!!! Sooo true! Although I know he didn’t talk about how big his package was! LOL
I’ve said this on the upcoming post board and say it again…that ass on Jake…my goodness! I still can’t get over it! LOL It was well hidden all this time! Shame on you ABC!
Wes….even when he’s with her he looks like he’s calculating how he’s coming off and he’s clearly not sincere. It’s a tick tock of …ok how long have I been here…how many minutes is that…do I have to hold her this close…let me peck her forehead that will work. In OHCH blog he said that he doesn’t know how many episodes they are on during taping and for Wes to be mindful of that is quite telling. That editing was choppy with him being on the couch then the chair but it’s all him! There’s no edit fixing on this…he’s a butthole and cheese ass!
I know many mention Kip’s abs (and i must have not been looking at the tv at the time so I have to rewatch) but Fetish has some nice abs too! I think all his craziness makes you trail off from noticing. lol
http://reid.rosenthal.foxroach.biz/meetreid.htm
For all you Reid lovers out there, here’s his website…
As far as ratting out Wes, those guys are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. She ripped on Tanner for focusing too much on the other guys and not enough on her. I’m sure no one else wants to be that guy. Honestly, weren’t there plenty of other things to rip on Tanner about without mentioning the “guys with girlfriends?”
She won’t pick Reid, and I’m pretty sure he’s the one with the bedroom issues, but gosh I hope not. I’m a happily married mother and Reid still makes me feel all funny and warm inside. I like him a lot. I like him even more for sharing my germaphobic tendencies (not that I consider wanting to eat only cooked food and washed produce germaphobic by any means, that’s just sensible). It’s probably for the best that I’m not single, because I’m pretty sure I would have hopped a bus to Philly by now and gone completely over the edge into stalker territory. I also prefer him with his glasses … Whew, time to change the topic. It’s getting hot in here.
Lincee~great recap! You are the only reason I watch this show. Wes is a total douchebag! He is selling his “new release” CD for a whopping $10.99 and he even mentions his song he wrote for Jillian on his website. http://www.weshayden.com. He is on tour this summer to small small bars. You suck Wes! I will NEVER buy one of your CD’s!
Why ABC when you go on the Bachelorette site that Wes picture is the only one that shows up first?!?!?! We are not going to be tricked into liking him or buying his crap! I’m not even visiting his site to give him the satisfaction of thinking his stupid, jackass of a plan worked and he’s got fannnns… he got fans alright – the kind that want to kick him in his dirty behind!
I was floored when she picked Michael over Jake. Michael is a doll but he is young and immature…Jake is older and more mature and so hot!!! BUT…when Jillian was talking to OHCH and he asked her about Jake…did she say he was an atheist? I rewound several times thinking surely not…but I could swear that’s what she said. I hope not. I think Reid is absolutely adorable. I love the way he teases with her. Kip is hot but what do we really know about him other than he has great abs? Jesse is growing on me more and more and Wes…well…Wes is just a d-bag. I could not believe some of the things he was saying last night. And can’t believe none of the guys are telling her what he’s saying. I do hope Ed comes back because I thought he was the best one there but is it really fair to the others if he does?! And seriously…are we really going to hear about some poor guys E.D. on national TV??! I just can’t really see her with any of these guys.
#88 – Really and someone else asked earlier… Jillian on Jake – She said “He’s going to hate this” not that he’s an atheist. Then she went into him being perfect blah blah blah…
Here’s how I feel about all of the guys..
Jake- PERFECT!! Hes been my love since his audition tape. I do not think him and Jillian have any chemistry whatsoever, and it was his time to go. I think ABC played a part of him going home/coming back. I can’t wait to see him in a PILOT SUIT!!!! GONE
Reid- This man has stolen my heart. Yes, I am a 15 year old seeking after Reid’s heart. That probably sounds reeaally weird. I am now following him on twitter, and lets just see if he accepts me as a facebook friend. Jillian may have a problem with him being jewish, which kinda sucks. Just watch she will be like we have religion differences zzzz. If I was her I would choose him though, my best friend is jewish I could care less. One last thing, he totally should have worn the glasses. REID+GLASSES= YEAH THATS HOT. 3
Tanner P- TEAM TANNER P. Okay so he’s the wacko of the show for sure, but I LOVE HIM!!! I’m not being serious at all, but his feet fetish obsession has me on my toes (literally). Ever since his toe-sucking dance (which I probably imitate everyday and no one around me gets) something about him is just hilarious. I have the best time laughing and constantly rewatching his scenes. I’m sad to see him go. P.S I was in Dallas this past weekend, secretly hoping to see him or Jake, or the Jonas Brothers but that is far besides the point. GONE
Wes- Sick, sick guy! SEND HIM HOME NOW. TOTAL CREEPER!!!! He is a snake. Jillian will soon be taking after Woody in saying, “I’ve got a snake in my boot!” I’m not going to lie.. I’m uber excited for his home visit. AUSTIN,TEXAS??? CAN IT GET ANY BETTER??? Those tattoos aren’t working for him either. 4
Michael- Uh, weird? Hes 25 and a breakdancer (seriously? that is a career?)???? I’m confused. I would rather see him go home than TANNER P!!!! 5
Robby- So I’m from Houston and I should be a Robby lover? Ehh I’ll pass. He’s 25 and a bartender? Where is that going to get him? I found the train scene funny especially when you could see the van in the background ahahha. GONE
Kiptyn- DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER! Jillian adores him (and I do too!!!) What’s better than a surfer from California with a rockin’ bod? Well, Jake, but besides that.. It can’t get any better! He is so cute and I think he is perfect for Jillian, they have such great chemistry. 1
Jesse- Hes hot too!!!!! I think he will be runner-up or possibly win? I just don’t see him with Jillian as much as I see Kiptyn with her. He is just as perfect as Jake. Handsome, WINEMAKER!!!!!, and from CARMEL???? Hello Jillian, Your dream life awaits. 2
Sorry for being so obnoxious, I just thought I would voice my opinion somewhere since my friends could care less about my so obvious obsession. And I rated them (1st being winner 5th being coming home this Monday)
P.S I think there should be a Jake/Wes FIGHT!
I just discovered your blog and LOVE your recaps!!! Hilarious:-) I’m from Dallas and sure there will be lots of talk about Jake around here. He won’t be single for long!
One more thing, I think they are going to have a Gay Bachelor show starting soon starring the one and only ,the fetish himself.. TANNER P!!!!!!
#55 TTF – we should all go up there and boycott the show. we my dfw girls at? y’all with me?
i feel like we have a lot more of jake to see. in the first episode, when it previewed the upcoming season, we say jake crouched in a corner breaking down, and again on a balcony a la jason style. we still haven’t heard the “he wants to be the next bachelor” line we heard in the previews (not saying this is jake, just stuff we haven’t seen yet). was abc just playing tricks on us showing us stuff in previews that ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor? cause that’s just plain mean! anyone notice anything else we’ve been shown in the first episode, but not on the show yet?
i heart jake! and i honestly do like michael. some says he’s young, but he makes me think of jim carrey a bit. you know, is super wacky and fun, but i think he’s got a real sensitive side to him (crying for his buddy, his confessionals during curling). you might be surprised at some of those class clowns.
as far as the finale, not sure who come back, but i think the final two are kiptynite and reid. that’s what i got from the previews. kip talks about being in hawaii, and we know the fantasy dates are in spain.
i really don’t like reid. not in the way i don’t like wes (want to throw things at the screen when he comes on), but he just doesn’t do it for me. nor does jesse. i really, really liked jake! and mark! bring back mark! ;o) glad that jake decides to call out wes next week. you know it wasn’t an easy decision for him, knowing he’d hurt jillian. guess he figures cause her a little hurt now before it ends of exploding in her face later. he’s looking out for her. so sweet!
oh, and kiptyn’s abs. wowza!! wish we coulda seen some more of jake’s abs though. i remember them being nice the last time we saw them. i think i may need a cold shower now.
oh, and someone somewhere mentioned that when she told jake he needed more confidence, she is really the one who needs to be more confident – i totally agree with you! why else would she keep someone like wes around if she wasn’t very confident in herself. totally spot-on observation!
Great recap and hilarious comments, as ALWAYS!!
I can’t believe all of the heartless dump offs this season for the dudes! How embarrassing for Robby D.!! Yikes!! I can’t even remember the name of the guy that had to get on a city bus after not getting a rose or Mr. Speedo w/ the gondola. Are the interns just angry?
I think Jillian let good old Jake go to spare him… he was falling hard & fast and she knew she just couldn’t go home with him and meet his family. (Why… I’m not sure. He seems AMAZING!) So I think she was really just being nice and considerate. She knew he wasn’t “the one” so she just shut down to him completely. Like someone else said.. Michael will bounce back much faster. He cracks me up every show. I love him… just not as husband material for our Jilly Bean.
I’m loving Reid & Jesse… but honestly, I don’t really have a strong opinion. Which is strange… I’m usually all up in someone’s corner by now. I’m just hoping she sends Wes packing soon. If for some horrible reason he makes it to the end… I’m guessing she’s dumped him by now after seeing his horrible behavior.
SG – thanks for the wes link… it was interesting to look at it.
he sounds a LOT better on the recording than he did on the show… like 100 milliion times better.
i don’t like the guy, but the song you still get me is kinda sweet… if i didn’t “know” him, i’d like it.
ok i like it a little.
anyway – all of these guys are getting business – reid’s site will probably be more frequented too.
does anyone else have any other sites for the other bachelor’s?
My favorite part of the recap? Jillian’s lawyer and the decision to use the Rocky Mountaineer. Brilliant! And effin hillarious.
i really think the fantasy suite drama is not a case of E.D., but rather someone chooses to not stay with her in the fantasy suite and the bach editor took his cue to make it more dramatic by alluding to certain dysfunctions.
remember the whole ‘deanna’s coming to ask him back’ debacle from last season? this would be this season’s version of that….wholly and completely misleading.
#97 – marla Said,
“SG – thanks for the wes link… it was interesting to look at it.
he sounds a LOT better on the recording than he did on the show… like 100 milliion times better.”
That would be what they call…studio equipment that makes you sound like a singer when you’re really not a singer. Many of a career has been made off of this. And when they perform in person…it’s crap! I don’t care how good they make him sound (i’m not going to even listen to hear the difference)…he’s boycotted by me and he’s still a cheese ass / ass hat!
Omygosh… I just love you guys. Your comments are frickin’ hysterical. I have a friend who, come to think of it, looks like Jake. And he’s a Navy pilot. Can you say HOLY FLIGHT SUIT? You guys should totally facebook stalk him. He’d be terribly flattered (he’s kind of shy). I was tempted to go to Wes’s site but I am so digusted by the sound of his voice I am not going to bother. That POS is such a creep, and he NEEDS TO TAKE A SHOWER, but that would require the putting down his joint for 5 minutes. I don’t mind the idea of Jake as the next Bachelor, but SERIOUSLY, using the reject is getting so old. I want a fresh new face, someone who OHCH won’t have to preface every episode with last season’s rejection drama. I want a guy who makes me want to lick the TV screen because he’s so frickin’ hot, and I want the girls tearing each other apart to get to him. This season is BORING! At least we have Lincee to get us through these droll, lifeless episodes.
Reid is getting a very flattering edit, they could be making him sound like a freak…instead he is coming off as very cute. So the girls will think they can fix him! I say cute, but caution ladies…I had a boyfriend that was a hypochondriac and it got old. He also refused to eat just about everything and trust me it was all washed! No onions, no tomates, no vegetables, no spices. The only condiment he liked was ketchup. Cooking for him was a nightmare, everything had to be done a certain way. He had a set routine for everything, he could not even be flexible on what time he took a shower. I’m just saying buyer beware!
The guys seem to like him and they still called him neurotic. Hmmmm.
So is Jilly looking for a guy she can fix? So sorry Jake, love you man.
Still don’t get all the Ed love…he seemed so uncomfortable, not making eye contact. Cute but I did not get the love….
I want to see more of Kip! I still want to see more of Jake. However, TPTB seemed to show a lot of kissing previews and I thought most of them looked like Jesse.
ATTENTION ALL FUTURE BACHELORS/BACHELORETTES:
When the Bachelor or Bachelorette calls you out of the Rose Ceremony to “ask you a few last minute questions,” this is NOT GOOD. This has more to do with the other person they really want to justify letting go. They are considering letting you squeak by just so they could in good conscience reject the other person.
This is what happened with Jillian, Michael, and Jake. She wanted to let Jake go because it so wasn’t there for her, and she didn’t want to meet his wholesome perfect lovely family and break their hearts in addition to his. She also didn’t want to keep Michael but thought it could be a safer bet.
In conclusion, if you are called out at the last moment like this at the Rose Ceremony, there is a 99% chance you are getting a rose — that night. But you’ll be sent packing as soon as the next ceremony.
#99 – I agree with you completely. I definitely think that it is not a case of ED but rather someone (Reid) not wanting to spend the night in the fantasy suite. I think that is why she was so upset because the romance wasn’t there because he didn’t want to spend the night with her.
Does anyone remember the exact words used in the clip?
I am a long time reader, first time writer but sorry ladies, I have to voice my thoughts on snooze-gag-me-I-can’t-feel-sorry-for-your-(seeming)-lack-of-personality Jake. I’m sure he is a lovely man, but two things: first, I saw nothing there, no spark, no emotion, just robo-tron, Ken doll. Oh… that might sound mean, and my friend you may be a poor victim of editing, but second PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE we need some new blood in this show.
All about Reid and Ed though, and hope he is not the one with a bed problem next week…
Everyone, Wes is getting exactly, EXACTLY what he wants. And that’s all of us talking about him online. He doesn’t give two figs if we hate him. In fact, that’s even better because we’ll talk about him more and bring more attention to him. Right now he is happy that:
1) People know who he is.
2) People realize he is a musician, and
3) People know he has an album coming out.
He didn’t have any other things (on this scale) before so he’s flipping thrilled about it. It doesn’t matter if it’s negative attention or we all claim we hate him or we all say his music sucks. He is getting exposure, and sadly that makes a difference even if it’s not all good exposure.
Personally, I don’t think Wes is worthwhile of my hate or outrage. He and his little music career bore me, and I can’t wait till he’s booted so we can all focus on the other guys.
I don’t get the Ed love…..
I don’t get the Jake hate……
I totally get the WES hate!!!!
I’m hoping Wes’ girlfriend shows up to throw him under the bus because I don’t think Jake’s return will do it alone. I also think that there are 2 different people showing up…they already say Jake’s returning, then they lead us to believe there’s a mystery guest at the rose ceremony….I CAN ONLY HOPE IT’S WES’ GIRLFRIEND ANGRY AND SCORN!!!
#107 – Shameless Said,
“Everyone, Wes is getting exactly, EXACTLY what he wants. And that’s all of us talking about him online”
You know I thought about that too as I posted my other commnent…from here on out…I’m not mentioning that person in any more of my posts! Hmph…take that…whoever you are that I’m not mentioning!
Ah…I feel better!
#107 Shameless. You are so right! Even bad publicity is good publicity. This is the same reason that Speidi is getting richer every day.
#99 & #105 You are also right. Anyone who thinks that the ‘problem’ has anything to do with E.D. is going to be disappointed.
I’m not a Jake fan. There is something about the lower half of his face (mouth, smile, jawline) and his laugh that remind me of Tom Cruise now, a la crazy.
I sincerely hope with all of my heart that Ed makes an appearance before the MTA episode. He is gorgeous.
so are we going with “he who must not be named” for Wes? he’s like Lord Voldemort with a guitar.
And I agree with those that are saying that Jake shouldn’t be the next bachelor. He seems like a nice guy and I absolutely love him, and for that reason I don’t want him next becuase this show, when they put people on as the bachelor or bachelorette who have been rejected, I always seem to end up not liking them in the end. And I’m pretty sure it would be really boring like the second coming of Andy Baldwin, and no one needs to see that.
Most people say Andy was their favorite season…and their fav bach! I did like the season, of course that was my first season watching!
You KILL me every week! Keep it up.
)
I have to agree with those who have said that skeevy country singer is of the “any publicity is good publicity” school of thought. For that reason, and also because I’m beyond sick of his dumb song, I won’t be writing lyrics any more to fit the weekly episode’s highjinks. Just please get him off my tv screen. He makes my eyes feel dirty just from looking at him.
I prefer “cheese ass” to “he who must not be named.” He reminds me less of Lord Voldemort, and more of El Kabong. Is anyone else old enough to remember when Quick Draw McGraw turned into the masked & caped superhero who smashed his victims over the head with his guitar?
Maybe we should call “he who must not be named” “El Kabong.”
I didn’t really enjoy Andy as the bachelor… I thought he was a cheese ass! I might be biased though because my friend was a Navy dive officer in HI and knew him… apparently he is a D-bag with a capital D! No one likes him and he’s insanely cocky. I really loved HTCBrad. I know there are a lot of people who couldn’t stand him after the ending but I seriously thought he was thrown under the bus.
If we’re going to name out favorite bachelor seasons. I’m going to put it out there that Andrew Friestone was my favorite. Great season, and the guy’s not a jerk. His family makes great wine. My hubby and I were members of the wine club for several years. I actually met him briefly at the annual cellar family picnic. He doesn’t take himseelf too seriously, and the family still teases him about going on the show. Nice guys, nice family.
I think Andy was one of my LEAST favorite seasons. He just seemed like a big dork….i.e., a cheese ass. And that girl that he ended up picking was a big snore Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z. I also really liked the Firestone season. I liked Matt Grant’s season bc his monkey was entertaining. My favorite (and hottest) bachelor has been Brad Womack.
#79 Kerri, the shoe salesman on SATC was the awesome actor James Urbaniak!
Do you all think Jillian’s feet are that pretty??! I thought they were on the average side…
I vote Michael and Robby D for tandem bachelors next season!! That would be a blast.
Yeah, I always thought Andy was a cheeze ass. He had dork written all over him.
#115 – Susan Said,
“I have to agree with those who have said that skeevy country singer is of the “any publicity is good publicity” school of thought. For that reason, and also because I’m beyond sick of his dumb song, I won’t be writing lyrics any more to fit the weekly episode’s highjinks.”
OH CRAP Susan..I didn’t realize that may happen in my protesting of not mentioning..well you know. I will forever cherish the AMAZING CONNECTION, and WICKED feelings your lyrics gave me that brought us closer together. Sniff….sniff. I’ll be okay.
Oh.My.Awesomeness. Finally saw the episode. I love Jesse. I think he’s got such chemistry with Jillian and he is so genuine, and up front. Funniest moment: Michael saying (about Fetish) in the background: “It’s a horse in underwear.” ????!!!! HOW HAVE WE NOT TALKED ABOUT THIS??? And OMG, Fetish straight up got creepy about the foot thing. Gross.
Favorite season, hands down, was Aaron. Everyone else can take HTCBrad or any of the other bachelors. Aaron was so gorgeous – I wonder what he is up to now? Sigh.
Ed, PLEASE come back and save this girl.
couple of thoughts….
1) (comment #100) of course Wes sounds better on a recording (that’s what engineers and recording studios are for) than live TV… having worked in the country music biz for 10 years I can honestly say – everyone sounds better after they’ve been engineered. But here’s the kicker – he’s being managed out of Dallas and his record is a local label (or he self-recorded) — this guy doesn’t have a chance in hell making it ‘big’ without major management, record label and promotion behind him… and someone commented that he sounds like Garth Brooks – heaven knows we don’t need another one of those!
2) does anyone else think that Michael might be gay? I’m just saying….
In response to #85, that’s me too— happily married and a mom. Reid makes me giddy too. I could totally date someone like him if I were single. I think I watch this show to live vicariously through these people, because I am so far removed from the dating scene.
So if someone doesn’t want to spend the night (I don’t think I could control myself type of thing) until they are done with the group dates–wouldn’t that be fine? I mean, are we supposed to think that everyone (Bach and Lette) has sex in the fantasy suites and everyone else is just fine being one of many. You know I would never date someone if I thought they were sleeping with someone else. Granted, I’m old enough to know who Eddie Haskel is (a reference I bet went over some heads). However, have things changed so much? Me too on the Reid giddiness–he seems almost too intelligent to be there. Why is he there?
lincee, I hate to rat out the intern who was trying to look like they pulled off some amazing ice sculpting, but they did none of that. Lake Louise has an ice sculpture display every year so either they timed this episode for when that was happening or the intern convinced them to put the leftovers in a huge freezer to save them to creative the ice scene al la narnia.
I read Jilly’s blog and I really got the feeling she was very shocked by the footage of the Wes she had never met. Even if he is getting the “bad” edit, he sure did give them lots of material to use! He must have really pissed someone off at ABC….
Hypochondriac, neurotic, germaphobe, but cute? All of that stuff is about control people…my father in law uses the hypochondriac thing to avoid doing anything he doesn’t want to and get people to fuss over him. At first it worked on me, now after 15 years, not so much. I used to wonder why my husband just shrugged everytime his dad started talking about a new surgery he was going to try and how bad he was feeling…now I understand. Bless his heart.
#124 SC – I’m dying here … i missed Michael saying ‘it’s a horse in underwear’! But I did catch Fetish commenting in his exit interview how he is ‘blessed’. I was on the floor then too.
In his tighty whiteys he reminded me of the SNL skit ‘Ambiguously Gay Duo’. Love him and will miss him bringing the crazy to the show. Mango Mango!
Sorry to all of those who love Jake, but after watching the diaries of the departed on ABC’s website, plus the previews for coming weeks I have lost interest in him completely. He is just whining about Jillian and Wes and he seems completely insincere. Note to Jake: You are cute, but she’s just not that into you. There are lots of good guys left (excluding Wes of course) so why does Jake act like he was the only one for her? I am just not seeing it.
Lincee – Loved this week’s recap and I agree with you on Jesse. He is definitely moving up to the front of the pack this week. I also love Reid and his neurosis (totally agree with him on the fondue thing.) But in the end he is not going to be the one for Jillian. Kiptyn was cute this week too and might be her best match but the kissing still makes me cringe.
Mango Mango! should be the new Pineapple!
saggleo – thank you so much for clearing up the Jake/atheist issue!!! I am so relieved.
Washing your vegetables is not neurotic and now that Reid has mentioned it, I probably won’t be going for fondue anytime soon. But I also don’t walk barefoot on hotel carpet and I do not like salad bars.
If I wasn’t married Reid and I would be perfect for each other. I loved that someone said maybe Reid is freaked out by the hotel bed and can’t spend the night with Jillian. The first thing I do when entering a hotel is rip off the comforter. My husband knows not to set any of my stuff on the bed until the comforter is gone.
Oh and Reid should always wear his glasses.
The spoilers indicated that the F1 gets a better fantasy suite. So they are all trying to figure out which hotel room is the nicest and therefore who the winner is. I hope that Ed is the winner.
#137 Katie M — Please don’t tell us the spoilers. I’ve been trying so hard all season to stay away from spoilers because last season I read Reality Steve and it ruined it for me. We all know where the spoilers are if we want to read them. I didn’t want to but now, thanks to you, I have.
ED IS THE GUY WHO HAD THE GIRLFRIEND!
I know he left a girlfriend back in Chicago. She is now his ex girlfriend and she watches the show every week with her friends. Not sure if he left the show for legit work reasons or if he was afraid of being outted. It’s possible he left, went back to his girlfriend, she told him it was over so he called up ABC and said ‘hey. . remember me?!’.
but know that ED 100% had a girlfriend when he left to be on the show.
#139, I can buy that.
So which Bachelorette season has been you guys’ favorite?
#139 How do you know he was the one that had a girlfriend?
I know people who have known both of them for 10 years or so. They told me this at the beginning of the season. Anyway, they say he’s a nice guy, very funny and he wasn’t in a relationship that was really going anywhere. His girlfriend did say “um. . you know that the point of this show is to get married right?” haha I don’t know when their relationship officially ended just that they were together when he left.
That doesn’t mean that Wes still doesn’t have a girlfriend but I know that Ed did when he went on the show.
#130 — This makes sense to me. I thought Ed looked totally guilty when all the “someone has a boyfriend” talk was happening a couple episodes back. It would seem logical that he used the work thing as a (maybe partial) cover-up when really he wanted to go home and clear things up with the whole girlfriend thing… and he had enough time between when he got the rose on the group date and when he told Jillian he was leaving to talk to the producers and see if he could come back if he chose to. He seems like the kind of guy who would want to do that and then come back and say to Jillian, “I was the guy (or one of the guys) with a girlfriend and I’m really sorry, but I ended it and now I want to be here with you…” rather than just plowing forward once he realized that he really liked her…
I dunno. I like the guy and had him picked as a fave from early on, and from the spoilers I’ve seen, he’s definitely in the Final 3 because there are some pictures of her and a guy in Spain who has GOT to be Ed. Plus when they showed the “later this season” stuff on Monday did you notice how they showed most of the faces, but for one guy and one guy only, the face was always darkened or somehow obscured? That’s Ed. I think it will be Ed, Jesse, and Reid in the final 3, not sure beyond that.
Did anyone else check out Reid’s realtor website and look at his listings??
Wish I was in the market for one of his houses…and I’d be happy to wash his veggies for him!
Here’s the website posted earlier:
http://reid.rosenthal.foxroach.biz/meetreid.htm
bummer if that’s true re Ed. Liked him. Very iffy to go on the show when you have a girlfriend…. obviously just going for the adventure, exposure. Somewhat dishonest, which makes me like him alot less.
#140: I didn’t watch Trista’s season, so I started with Meredith’s season of the Bachelorette, and I think that’s still my favourite! I thought she was so mature and put together, especially compared to DeAnna and Jillian. Nothing against the other two girls, but Meredith just seemed so genuine. And I was so glad when she chose Ian, it really made me sad when it didn’t work out between the two of them.
Gosh that was a long time ago.
Yeah it was! Trista’s season was first show I ever watched as I missed the first season w Alex. I liked hers and I liked Jen’s. Not that I’m totally crazy about her, but I loved the guy she picked (or dumped actually), Jerry.
Meredith’s season so far is my favorite both out of Bachelorette and Bachelor seasons. I really liked her a lot, and it was clear she actually fell in love with Ian. It seems like 90% of the seasons, the end result is a forced decision and the Bachelor doesn’t really give a hoot either way.
My least favorite season was Jesse’s season, but I also thought Jen’s B-ette season was dumb. The Travis season was kind of lame, too. I personally think Andy was the worst bachelor (well, following Jesse, who was a moron) but his season was kind of interesting, plus I liked Tessa.
Looking back at all these seasons, I really start to wonder why the heck Jason was the bachelor. He is so unappealing.
does anyone know if you can watch older seasons online anywhere?
Attention Dallas Ladies:
“Apparently Jeremy, Brian and Tanner P will be at this spa opening tonight – obviously Tanner is just there for the feet….
http://www.pinkmemo.com/dallas/blog/ViewBlog.aspx?Post_id=425&Post_type=Email“
My prediction:
- Wes is the “ED” guy because he has a girlfriend to whom he promised he would go on the show for “publicity and not the girl” so he DOES NOT sleep with Jillian…
- Ed, my boy, comes back, I know because they showed his shoes and they are the same he were when he left… yeeeeeeah! He is coming back!
- He proposes and Jillian says YES
#139 & #143–PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
#139 & #143–PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE refrain from posting rumors and spoilers. You can go to FORT or Jokers or somewhere else for that, but people DO NOT come here for the spoilers, we want to be surprised.
Thank you.
OHCH Tweeted this today “Just saw next weeks bachelorette ep. Going to blow your mind. Easily one of best ever. That’s not hype. Can’t miss” I Can. Not.Wait!
God lighten up about the spoilers people. Quit being so bossy. How about the rest of us regulate what u say. Jeez. Its the bachelor for gods sake
I hope you guys predicting Ed is coming back are right! I can’t wait until Monday night with my glass of wine in hand and my Popsecret Homestyle popcorn ready to munch – so entertaining! My family knows not to bug me when “that dumb show” is on!
#153 – I wasn’t trying to spoil anything and am actually surprised the info about Ed hasn’t been mentioned before. Him coming to the show “attached” isn’t a spoiler. I have no clue what will happen on the show or why he comes back (if it even is him that comes back)
If I wanted it to be a spoiler I would have posted the info weeks ago or at the beginning of the season when ABC showed us that rumors about guys having girlfriends were going to come up.
Jenny, I would like for you to provide proof of your accusations. Ed is everyone’s prince charming and you are ruining it for several of us…. Especially the ones of who really like his taste in shoes….
#155 –this isn’t just coming from me, this has come from LIncee–people don’t come here to read spoilers. Last season, Lincee specifically asked folks to take their spoilers to a specific thread or to another site. She has the right to ask for this on her own blog, right? And some other folks have asked, too. Please be respectful of others who don’t want to know what happens.
#157 Jenny, I said “rumors and spoilers”–this is not the forum where folks want to speculate and talk about this kind of thing. This sounds like a rumor to me and it certainly isn’t common knowledge, so with all due respect, please save it for another blog, okay?
#158, get a grip
#159 – would you like everyone to stop speculating about Wes having a girlfriend? would you like everyone to stop speculating about who comes back next week? who gets booted? who maybe proposes. The majority of these comments involve speculation. You should take what everyone says with a grain of salt and make your own decision on what you choose to listen to and believe. Plenty of people talk about rumors on here and the rumor I addresses is one that is a HUGE part of the show this year. I’m not “spoiling” anything and I respect Lincee and her blog.
#160 Jenny–why so harsh?
ladies, ladies….let’s chill. I’m with Jenny on this one. Remember when a former bachette was posting on here? It was “tell, tell, tell” —- so now we hear some possible scoop – not a spoiler – and we’re supposed to say “don’t tell, don’t tell” ???? nah
Personally I like the inside information. It’s not “spoilers!” Last year was a completely different scenario. Jenny just added a “rumor” to the mix that Ed was the one with the gf. You can choose to ignore it and think she’s full of crap. It’s not like we know if the show will even cover this. Ed is gone!
I’m with jenny too. Everyones just speculating and talking. Its not like last season and when people want respect towards them demanding isn’t the best way to get it and they should have to show others the same respect. Like a previous poster said other times everyone wants to know the info. This is not life or death or anything worth getting upset about for crying out loud. Its jilly and the bachelorette people how about a little perspective? Seems like some take this a little too seriously
I had a pedicure yesterday and was just looking down at my feet. I think the color is close to Mango-Mango. Even though I am old enough to be Fetish’s Mother, I really think he would like my feet. Not to brag, but they look better than Jillian’s. I really could use one of his foot massages, too. LOL!
Okay Ladies, if you WANT to go to Reality World TV there is an exit interview with Tanner Foot Boy Pope where he may talk about his bachelorette experience, and he may even make a prediction or two of his own.
#166 Noda! yes, me too! I totally started noticing my feet! Ha ha ha. I thought I could probably pass the Tanner test myself! How funny we are.
just googled reality world tv and clicked on ousted bachelor tanner….. long interview …. his grammar is really bad, he really does like feet (but it’s not a fetish), thought it would be kip but the kisses were “weird” – and hems and haws about Ed and Wes. And….. trumpets please…. he really is blessed, they called him King Dong, and he “played tricks with his weiner.” Fascinating.
#99 and #105 read my prediction #151
That IDIOT (I believe we are no longer mentioning his name) has a girlfriend “is only here for publicity and not for the girl” (his words not mine) he told his girlfriend, Laurel (according to Jake, that’s her name) that he wasn’t going to sleep with Jillian, so he doesn’t…Now that, my friends, is why she is so up set. Because even after Jake tells her the truth, she- so blindly- decides to believe that IDIOT, and that is what happens…. Jillian I am begining to loose all the little respect I had for you….
Ed comes back. I am totally convinced that is HIM jumping off the boat (a sailboat?) in the upcoming scenes. They show it twice. Maybe it’s just delusional, hopeful visions, but I swear that is his body and there isn’t anyone else left who looks like that.
Ok, I haven’t read all the comments, so maybe someone already said this.
Stop trying to control what others write! I’m sure you’re very nice, but we’ve all got mamas and don’t need another one! :0
And yes, this IS the forum where some of us want to speculate! It’s fun for us. Sorry!
Oh, for pete’s sake…speculating is completely different from spoiling. Feel free to speculate all you want…we all do it…just don’t repeat actual SPOILERS that you read on another site. I don’t want to know whether the butler did it.
#172–charming, really really adorable…. I asked nicely, like an adult, the same way this has been asked of others before…and I have kept my same screen name every time, because I will own what I say, even in a public forum…
C’mon guys – at the very least, if you are posting something that someone *might* consider to be a spoiler, start your post off with *POSSIBLE SPOILER – ALERT* so that the people who don’t want to look at anything that might be a spoiler know to skip that entry.
Then we won’t have to argue….
Sorry #138 I did not mean to imply that Ed wins. I should have started a new paragraph. I just liked Ed the best.
I really do not think they know anymore now that ABC is on to them. They do not have the screen caps like they used to with shots of the final rose ceremony so they have resorted to room screen caps and how many rose petals are on the bed.
#174,
My name is Torrie. I don’t ever post, but always read what everyone has to say. Don’t blame my post on someone else who’s gotten “mouthy” with you.
Anyway, get off your high horse and start your own blog entitled “I have a corncob stuck up my butt.”
Wow, is the heat making everyone a little bit crazy?!!! I hope I don’t offend anyone into a verbal battle–LOL!
Anyway…………does anyone find it odd that that Kiptyn gets so little screen time? Maybe Jillian doesn’t care about him that much, or maybe he’s the one that gets picked in the end and the show is trying to fool us. He also stays away from the drama very well, but doesn’t seem to have any good buddies either.
I love me some Kiptynite abs!!
#177 TORRIE–seriously, I shouldn’t even respond, but wow–a nice respectful request to stop with the spoilers has turned into this? LOL!
I have a theory about Wes and Jillian…they are in cahoots together and Jilly will get a cut of his album proceeds if she keeps him around and pretends to love his music! Bingo…mystery solved my friends.
#180 – Pat – If I were Jillian and going with your thought…I wouldn’t hold my breath on that!!! Good attempt though I dig!
ok – if Lincee decides to stop blogging because of all the bickering, I for one am going to be pretty ticked….. I’m just saying.
Oh, please…she’d be more likely to stop because of people posting spoilers than because of people objecting to spoilers.
They must be giving Wes a superbad edit- no one is that stupid. He must be saying… “I came on for publicity, but now I’m staying for the girl.” And they are just cutting the second part off. What do you all think?
I think that Cheese-Ass has to dis Jillian to the camera to save face with his girlfriend back home. That’s the only way the gf would let Cheese-Ass play. He’s oh-so-nice to Jillian’s face to stick around long enough for the hometown date, so we can all hear his garage band.
Tonight, during the Austin hometown date, I will be watching for the gf to be skulking around the Austin hometown date, perhaps posing as the tambourine player, or the drummer’s sister, or something.
#185 – Oh great thanks TX QP for putting that idea in my head , now I’m gonna be thinking the same thing like a where’s Waldo, I may miss Kip’s abs!!! oh no wait…can never miss those! LOL
We’ll see if we notice the same things…if I had DVR I’d fast forward through this particular hometown date though.
Saggleo, I was thinking the same “Where’s Waldo” thought. She will pop up as the airport valet, then as the waitress, then the backup singer, and so on. We will know her by the scowl on her face.
Wait a second, Saggleo, I thought you were hooked on Jake’s hiney!!! Or do I have you confused? He will be back as well, and with the recent butt alert, I will be watching for that as well.
#187 – Jillian has to choose, obviously, but I didn’t know that *we* had to choose between Jake’s hiney and Kip’s abs. Do we? Oh, I hope not!
#187 – TX QP said – Wait a second, Saggleo, I thought you were hooked on Jake’s hiney!!! Or do I have you confused? He will be back as well, and with the recent butt alert, I will be watching for that as well.
Oh no you don’t have me confused! I like many a hot body parts! LOL Jake is in jeans at the tell off meeting…and I’m sure there must be a hiney shot!
Oh no Juno…we don’t have to choose I’m certainly not)…we can just choose to continue to ENJOY THE VIEWS!!!
Re-reading my post – I need a life… or a man! LOL
#184 – “D”
Wes actually said ” I am here for the publicity, I am NOT here for the girl”
I don’t think it’s a bad edit, I think he’s a flat-out moron.
This is my favorite Bachelorette season ever, and I love Jillian, and the views of Canada. I think they put some extra money in this season, and it shows. But mostly they have a smart Bachelorette who won’t be pushed into saying the Husband word!
Love Ed all the way. I hope he wins, but I’m sure Jesse is at least final two. She’s attracted to him, and he is articulate and sincerely cares for her. He’s also in the background. On purpose.
Also really enjoyed Tanner P, and his interview afterwards. I think he likes feet, not loves them. It was tptb who whipped him up to talk about them constantly. He’s a smart cookie, knew it would help him stay, and went along.
oh vomit. they gave airtime to that horrible song. i just got the dang thing out of my head!
I am sorry, but Jillian is a “Grade A” flake.
New idea for a Jillian inspired Bachelorette drinking game. Anytime/everytime she says “awsome” and/or “wicked” have a shot. Not only will you be drunk at the end of the show, I feel safe in predicting you will be drunk by the end of the first hour. @@
Marcus (#193) one word. PVR and mute. Oh wait that’s two words. At least its about to get good.
Oh and this is for Saggleo – Jake may fly in to try to rescue Jillian but we’re going to fly you in to rescue HIM!
Oh my I wasn’t disappointed!!! What prime hiney shot they did of Jake standing at that window!!! Thank you camera man! THANK YOU!!!!
Oh this is good – not only does he rat him out he can name the girl.
oh poor Jillian, she really really likes that weasel Wes. it’s about to hit the fan RIGHT NOW ! West Coast beaners, get ready for a good one!
We’ve all had a “Wes”. I moved across the country for mine – I didn’t have a Jake to let me know what I was in for. Let’s see him talk his way out of this. From Jillian’s blog last week it sounds like he doesn’t but I still want to watch.
Oh he isn’t pulling the “you don’t trust me garbage”
First, I don’t think a rumor about a bachelor who isn’t even on the show anymore is a “spoiler.” A spoiler by definition is something that gives away something that will happen in the future. I’m just sayin’…
Now onto more pressing matters… SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE ON THE WEST COAST.
Jillian is an IDIOT. Jake NAMES the gf, and she’s like, “are you sure he has a gf?” Wes looks and sounds like he’s lying to her, and she’s all “I don’t care what anyone says, I don’t believe he has a gf.” dumb. Dumb! In his confessional, he said there’s no woman that could make him feel as good as he does on stage. RED FLAG. I am so done with Jillian. I’m sick of seeing clueless women. She’s too old to still fall for this stuff!
I’m going to throw something at the tv if Wes gets a rose…
N/M with my first paragraph.
Ugh, this is making me sick! Even if Wes weren’t a liar — and anyone who has to repeat “I ain’t a good liar,” “I’m bein’ as honest as I can” (which is actually probably a true statement), etc., is obviously protesting too much; but even if he weren’t a big stinkin’ liar who was there to promote his crappy album, I would think Jillian would be pretty unimpressed with how he treated Jake during the “showdown.” He immediately went on the attack, just like a bad little schoolboy. How dumb can she be???
On the other hand, I shouldn’t be surprised. Any woman who says “I always fall for the guys who don’t want me, and with the guys that love me, I’m just not feeling it” is not looking for lasting love.
at this point, jillian deserves whatever she gets.
She should know rule #1. If you ask anyone a question and they say “why don’t you trust me” BEFORE they answer the question, you HAVE A REASON NOT TO TRUST THEM. Sorry – had to yell. She really is not the brightest crayon in the pack.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Saggleo…. do you think Jake has a friend he can fix me up with?
WEST COAST SPOILER
happy poster here…. how cute is ED????!!!!
Not so happy poster here… lol (the answer is extremely)
MaggieMay said “She should know rule #1. If you ask anyone a question and they say “why don’t you trust me” BEFORE they answer the question, you HAVE A REASON NOT TO TRUST THEM. Sorry – had to yell. She really is not the brightest crayon in the pack.”
AGREED!!!! (Sorry, I had to yell, too)
Maurus said, “at this point, jillian deserves whatever she gets.”
ITA with that, too.
So frustrated with Jillian…. Dreading the rose ceremony.
Marcus is right. She is a moron! From the previews we knew Wes made it to the overnight dates but she really is blind. She even suspects he’s only there for the CD.
not to be a pain… it’s Marus, not Marcus. marcus is a boy. I am not =P
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
i hate her. i hope she ends up with the d-bag.
otoh, michael’s family is adorable =)
Sorry!!!
Can I blame it on not seeing things clearly (like Jillian!)
SPOILER ALERT
My TV is now broken. Thanks a lot Jillian. You idiot.
C List At least you won’t have to watch the debacle next week. Did the TV make a loud boom when the brick went through it? LOL
Just remember you can’t spell the word weasel without the letters W E S
spoiler
Jillian looked so happy (and relieved) to see Chicago Man. (i was happy to see him too). He looked so happy to see her, you could sense the chemistry between them….she doesn’t have that with the other guys except for Kiptyn.
MaggieMay – np! it’s an unusual fake name (almost as unusual as my real name!)
and if you were seeing with the same clarity as jillian, you probably would’ve called me jack =P
Now we ALL understand why she is still single. Stupid, stupid stupid.
#218 – big explosion. drat, turns out i just imagined the whole thing.
saw the previews. seriously, NOW it occurs to her to ask how jake had a name for the girl?? i could have told her that!
LOL … thanks (and that was funny)! I think Michael was toast tonight no matter what, although he did handle the exit with class. How come no one has commented on the “over the railing” crying shot? Melba may be gone but the memory lingers on (or was it foreshadowing of another return??) Just saying.
When she said that she still had doubts about Wes…Jill — there shouldn’t be ANY doubt!!
poor Michael…he is a sweetie and spoke highly of Jillian after he got booted. Jesse seemed bitter when he left, but I think his brother scared Jillian off, IMO.
#220. I thought she looked happy too, but I’m not sure if it was Ed or that thing when you think someone has rejected you and then realize he’s been thinking about you. I think she was happy that the dynamic turned out that way but I know that relief and it doesn’t always have to do with the person. If it were me , however I’d just send everyone but Ed and Reid home now. I can’t understand why Wes is still here.
Maggie May — lol!!! I totally forgot about the Melba #2 crying over the railing Jake moment until now!! haha
Lincee’s take on this should be GOOOOOOOOOD!
I cannot wait for Lincee’s recap!!!! Tomorrow is going to be ridiculouslywickedAMAZING.
Lacia – does that mean we take one shot or three?
thought jake was coming across ok till the balcony scene lame
reid looked darn good at the rose ceremony
michael handled things well, didn’t he?
I would not get the Wes thing even if there weren’t any issues, like a pitiful CD or a girlfriend…. do you younger single women find him attractive? He’s so squinty and shifty and looks dirty and wears some really bad shirts……
oh definitely 3 shots, Maggie May! lol
Wes sounds like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite (and acts a little like him, too). “Have a niiiice day………” in his smarmy voice. He should have picked up Jillian in an orange van to meet his band, and later, family.
Old Fan – Define “younger.” I’m in my 30s — never know if that puts me in “old” or “young” camp these days (guess depends on who’s asking). Not single, but I know cute. And he ain’t cute. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not even without the issues.
Well, since I’m the same age as Jillian, and I’m from Texas, I feel qualified to say that no, Wes is not, in fact, attractice. Even before I knew what a jerk he was going to turn out to be, I thought he was icky. If Jillian was from Texas she would know that his twang and clothes are overdone and fake. Jake, on the other hand
Tanner, even, was more attractive than Wes, even with the foot issues.
C List – right there with you. Even before the show started, when we could just see the pictures, I saw Wes’ and went EEWWWWWWW. The whole western shirt thing just made me shudder.
Ok so we are at four for the overnight date? Does she bounce two next week or take three to meet her family?
I shouldn’t care but right now I have no life, and since Ed is back no future either.
LOL
Oops, attractive.
Holy crap, that episode was inTENSE. I loved it.
Hooray for Ed coming back. Though since he left I am liking Reid more and more. Whereas I was once Team Ed/Reid, I may now be Team Reid/Ed. Just sayin’.
There was something extremely hot though about the confidence Ed displayed when he said that he was the most compatible with her. Loved it.
Also, my fiance and I could not stop marveling at Kiptyn’s mom’s creepy plastic surgery/botox. Yikes! It was a little too eerily reminiscent of some of the Michael Jackson photos I’ve seen over and over this week. Why do older women do this to themselves. It’s like Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes… I am sure she is a great reporter but I can’t focus on any of her stories because I’m so creeped out by how stretched her face is. The little “Bachelorette Blues” jingle the Kiptyn fam did at the end was hilarious, though. At least we aren’t burying a dove… classic!
C List – in your 30s is definitely “younger woman” !!!! I could be your mom :
old fan, I just can’t stand the way Wes looks (I’m 33
. I think he looks like he’s lying; you can see it in those small, shifty eyes. And his hair looks like a baby chick that just pushed out of the egg. Only, of course, the baby chick is cute.
My husband is shocked that I can’t wrap my brain around the idea that the producers of The Bachelorette have instructed Jillian to keep Wes on for a certain number of episodes. I just can’t believe that!! But I guess I’m the most naive person in the world, because there is NO other reason that a-hole should still be around. All I can say is, thank god for DVR. Whenever he starts to sing I just fast-forward so I don’t have to listen. He is a truly bad person, and I can’t believe we’re all talking about him so much! That’s just pumping up his ego! And yet I can’t stop! He’s just so awful!!
#196 – Good looking out MaggieMay!!!! No worries…I’m working my voodoo on Ed for you!
All I can say is that it’s apparent that Jill will actually need so see Wes in bed with the girl to actually believe it…of course I think of Eddie Murphy “It wasn’t me”…
And Michael is the cutest thing ever and I am SOOOOO happy Ed is back.
That’s really all
Man I am behind!!! lol
Agree w/ all MaggieMay has said! Oh yeah…we can double in Texas!!!! WOOWWHOOO…you know hotties flock together! (ha and he’s a pilot! I’m a riot!!!)
#224 – MaggieMay, I was looking more at the hiney shots but I can see where the balcony was a little over the top. lol I did love that Jillian thought he was back to ask for her back, and he’s like… nope! LOL Bubble…meet burst!
Michael was the most adorable in his send off. He’ll get picked up soon if he hasn’t already. I was quite shocked she sent Jesse home but I’m not a big it’s Jesse fan. I’d be messed up married into that family….I’d be a wino in no time! lol
So let me get this straight. Jillian lets Jesse go b/c his brother told her that Jesse is like an emotional ice cube that no one has been able to crack. Hey Jillian, stop judging these guys on their past relationships (or lack thereof). THe only thing that matters is their relationship with you. On the other hand, she seems to have no doubts about Kiptyn, who seems like his mind is wandering somewhere else when they’re together. AND she keeps Wes, even though there’s solid evidence of he has a girlfriend, and he’s just as good as told her that she has no place in his life (but, she’s still welcome to watch!!). Fortunately she’s still got Reid and Ed left so she’s got a 50% chance of still getting a good guy.
#244–I think she just got rid of Jesse because she liked some other guys better. She seemed okay with his family…just sayin’…
spoilers:
1. jesse’s hometown visit felt off the entire time. jilly, dear, do not ask people if they are dating anyone if they are at the dinner alone. and when that person emphatically and cynically says no, do not continue to press the issue. just drop it.
and she made a big deal about how much he missed… he missed one group date, right? wow…. yeah, whole lotta lost ground to make up on that one Jilly. however, if he quit is job, he’s a moron. I lost my job a month ago and am still looking. i would give anything to have a job right now….
2. kiptyn’s visit felt off too… also, it’s weird to hop into the hop tub at his parents’ house while they’re watching
3. michael’s family was awesome. but she should’ve let him go a long time ago, when you knew he was really falling for you. it was kind of mean to keep him this long. however, he is a complete cutie and he’s totally going to bounce back from her.
4. reid really seems the most normal of all of the guys left. however, he doesn’t really seem comfortable with her. he even said he was uncomfortable at one point, and it didn’t feel like joking. how could he not be? even i was uncomfortable watching her try to keep kissing him in front of his family.
5. D-bag…. she deserves him at this point. she’s not just blind at this point – she’s actively refusing to listen to people trying to warn her. even his family seemed off when trying to reassure her.
6. Ed. super cute
ps: did anyone notice that when jake called ohch, he called him hare? did i imagine that? =)
#246–re: #5–his family didn’t even defend him really, they just said that other guys are always jealous of Wes….um, yeah, but does he have a girlfriend????
#247–he wasn’t calling Hare, he called TANNER…
#248: i swear i heard him say hare… maybe i heard what i wanted to hear…. i wish i had a dvr
He said Tanner, I promise
And remember, he was asking about the thing Tanner said about someone having a girlfriend and then confessing that Wes had told him that directly, so that Tanner was right…
Did anyone else think Mama Kiptynite was really creepy, hovering in the doorway and watching the two of them in the hot tub? What a weird vibe she gave off with that. And I don’t get why Jillian thinks she and Kiptyn have such great chemistry. They have none at all, and Kiptyn is clearly just not that into her. Which makes me wonder…wasn’t one of the guys supposedly just there hoping to become the next Bachelor? Could it be Kiptynite?
Loved Jillian’s butter-yellow gown at the rose ceremony.
And speaking of rose ceremonies, don’t they have the pre-rose cocktail parties anymore? Seems like Hare comes in to counsel Jillian, leaves her to gather her thoughts, and then he’s kind of introducing her to the guys at large. Then she tells them how difficult this decision was and how wicked awesome her week was. Then roses.
Wes is gross.
Could Jake be the one who wants to be the next Bachelor? The “agonized man weeping over the balcony railing” pose is almost too perfect to be real.
Yay, Ed Lover is back! Hope this doesn’t mean he lost his job.
Did anyone else notice that OHCH called Robby D!!! ‘Bobby’ while talking about last week’s episode? Or that Jillian said she wasn’t surprised Jake came back??? And he who shall not be named is such a skeeze…oh Jilly Bean, when will you learn? Do you believe the all-American perfect guy or the country bad boy? Didn’t your description answer your question?
Susan–OMG Kip’s mom! Add the fact that she could not move her face from all the botox and it was like having the crypt-keeper as a peeping Tom!
I think Jill doesn’t like to have the cocktail parties because she doesn’t like socializing and pretending with the guys she is letting go. She alluded to that in some previous episode…
Yay ED!!!
