1. First and foremost, for the love of all things chachtastic and awesome, why was I not called to provide “normal” commentary from a Bachelor blog I’ve been writing since 2003? I’m convinced it’s because that other blogger had the word “bachelor” in her website title. Stupid green beans.
2. Executive producer Mike Fleiss said that when the show handed them lemons, they often were forced to produce lemonade moments. I share that philosophy. When life hands me lemons, I add Vodka.
3. Our Host Chris Harrison compared Jake to one of the many Bachelorettes that have been on the show. I’d say that’s about accurate.
4. Quote from another executive producer when asked about Jake’s choice of Vienna as his soon-to-be-bride: “Lust conquers all.”
5. Our Host Chris Harrison admitted he feels like a tool when he has to tell the Bachelor that “this is the final rose.” ABC claims that this is a catch phrase that is sweeping the nation. Clearly, we all know that “cheese ass” and “oh my awesome” have reached a wider audience. Again…something I bring to the table that would have made last night more memorable.
6. A relationship therapist claims that The Bachelor is still successful because all women dream for a Cinderella moment.
7. Executive Producer Mike Fleiss claims that the show is still successful because women like to see other women get into cat fights and scream at each other while drunk.
8. When asked by the reporter if Trista and Ryan are going to tell their kids how they met, normally mute Ryan says that they will tell them to “push play.”
9. Confirmed: ABC hires a psychotherapist. I KNEW IT!
1o. Adorable Reid admitted that women come up to him but he has to let them down easy because he is dating Miss America. Of course.
11. Executive Producer Mike Fleiss actually laughed when asked about why they left poor Peyton stranded on a helipad on an aircraft carrier. “That was good, right? Women like to see other women in misery.”
12. Mike Fleiss is both disturbed and brilliant.
13. He Who Must Not Be Named has been punched, kicked, slapped, had his hair pulled and a drink thrown in his face. There is justice in this world.
14. British Bachelor Matt Grant had 20 thousand dollars worth of work done on his teeth and claims he is a rock star in England.
15. Mike Fleiss averages that there are about three hook-ups per season. Except for Bob Guiney who tapped five women. Then he channeled Old School and shouted, “You’re my boy Bob!” Suspicions confirmed.
16. Melissa admits that she was not attracted to Jason. Instead she fell under the spell of the show. She knew Jason would break up with her on the private set, but didn’t know he was going back to Molly. She can’t watch the show, the proposal or the dumping because she’s too busy watching her hotter than crap husband or working the red carpet for Entertainment Tonight.
17. Hotter than Crap Brad Womack went into hiding because Ellen told her viewers he was the biggest jerk in America. He’s been self analyzing for two years and is ready to face DDAHnna. Ironically, she understand totally why he chose neither her nor Jenni and admits that she should have sent her snow boarder packing. DDAHnna does a few back spins that she learned from Stephen and peaces out of there.
18. Mary Mary dropped her entire life to be with her Centrum Silver man and even started fishing when she wasn’t launching his boat and staying in motels so he could be a professional bass man. The age-less wonder ended up in jail two birthdays in a row because of the moves she learned in kick boxing class. In a moment of irony, ABC tells us that the reality show couple couldn’t handle reality.
19. Sweet Meredith has a cookbook for couples and is marrying a dude named Phil Micker Fitz Major. At least that’s what it sounded like. And Prince Lorenzo is hocking dog items on QVC. You go Prince.
20. Ali, the California Dreamer, (ugh) is gearing up for her chance at love in May. Apparently all her clothes are free and there will be a picnic at the Hollywood sign.
Now it’s your turn. Did I leave anything out? What were your favorite moments?
You are so funny, Lincee! My coworkers and I read your blog each week following the Bachelor. I’ve sent your blog to Kiptynite as well… he’s friends with a lot of other bachelor/ettes, so maybe you should find him on facebook and befriend them all and send them the link. It could do you wonders.
You are as funny and creative as they get – may as well let it take you somewhere.
I would have to say the best part was the segment they spent on Jake and Vienna making her very FIRST peanut butter and honey sandwich (apparently she was living under a rock in FL). It took so long because they were too busy kissing and cuddling to spread some peanut butter and honey on some bread. I lost 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
One of my favorite moments: checking in with Meredith — always liked her; good to see her.
Favorite moment with crickets: Melissa asking He Who Shall Remain Nameless….”so, did you have a girlfriend while on the show?” HWSRN response…. crickets chirping…ummmm…uhhhh….no (yeah, right…liar, liar pants on fire)
Worst bachelor EVER: Lorenzo…would have said Jake, but was reminded that Lorenzo is such a dork and he looks like a little boy trying to wear his dad’s suit…. BUT, do love that he loves dogs so maybe Jake is the worst bachelor EVER.
Best bachelorette guy that should have gone on to be a bachleor — Jenn’s castaway…his name escapes me as I’m typing this, but love him!
Have to admit, I was really surprised at just how sleazy and calculating Mike Fleiss is, but guess I shouldn’t be — he’s in it for the ratings and $$.
Loved that show last night! I thought it was finally paying off…all the hours spent watching those stupid shows…just to get all the behind the scenes stuff. Mr. Fleiss kind of creeps me out. A genius…perhaps…but creepy in a “Lester the Molester” sort of way.
Loved the stuff on Bob. He’s been my favorite Bachelor because he was just SO AWFUL and sleezy.
I always liked Firestone. It was nice to see him with his sweet wife and baby.
And…who was the dude that does the sign language??? I totally don’t remember him…but could have fallen head over heals for him last night! I have a thing for guys who have a “giving spirit”.
Well done with this recap Lincee!
JERRY!!! was the sign language guy!!! soooooo hot!!!
loved, loved, loved brad and reid and meredith and even Estellla
yeah – Jerry —- that’s who I was talking about….Jenn’s castoff that should have been a bachelor — what an all-around stud! Loved him! How did he slip through the cracks?
I had to take a loooong hot shower after having that creepy disturbing Mike Fleiss in my living room. Eeeew. Ick. Blah.
Brad is most definitely still Hotter. Than. Crap. Whoa, mama! I am now on Mission: Womack to hunt him down here in Austin.
I agree with everyone. Fleiss was icky, like big time ICKY!!! Good show though. I missed the first hour, but caught the last bit. Pretty good show.
Melissa admitted that she knew her relationship wasn’t working out so her reaction to Jason the night they broke up was over the top fake. She wasn’t attracted, wasn’t interested, and they weren’t even speaking much prior to that night so why was she so offended that he admitted he had feelings for Molly. I think she was fake and manipulative to act as if she was so hurt and angry. How can you be hurt when there are no feelings for someone? And her reasons for going on the show were less than honorable. She didn’t do herself any favors last night. She let Jason take the entire fall for their relationship not working out and didn’t say a word to defend him. I think that says a lot about her.
Jerry, the most gorgeous candidate ever on this show! I think the reason they didn’t go on to use him as the Bachelor was that he was fed up with it by the end and was not the type of guy to play along. At the ATFR he scratched his nose with his middle finger and I think he admitted somewhere that he did it on purpose, a subtle? way of showing how he felt about the whole deal.
Mary looked beautiful. So did Estela.
Lincee, that other blogger was chosen because she lives in NYC, so it was convenient for the producers. We all know you would have been way more entertaining!
Lincee, I thought the same exact things as your #1 & #9. I felt a little bitter for you towards the blogger that was on the show. I know, I know, it’s silly.
Could Mike Fleiss be any more slimey??????? ISH. Only 1/2 of the girls are there for “love”? The rest are for ratings???
OMG I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that other chick. I was thinking what?? That’s not Lincee! What the hell!!!!
Lincee should have been there! Everyone knows she has the best Bachelor Blog ever!
I thought the same thing when I saw that blogger chic! I sat up and YELLED at the TV “What about Lincee??!!!”
Why no comments on how adorable Andrew Firestone’s new baby is?
I was bitter as well that they didn’t feature the Lincee blog on the show.
Lincee, you SO should have been the guest blogger! I agree with the 597 other people who think Mike Fleiss is super creepy. He completely freaked me out and listening to him try to provide his rationale for some of the show’s most absurd moments was awkward. The whole “lemonade” concept bugged me too. Mike, we get it. Is he married? I’m betting no.
While they were speaking of awkward Bachelor/Bachelorette “breakups,” couldn’t they have mentioned leaving Robby D next to the train tracks in Canada? That was certainly one to remember!
So glad that two of my all time favorites were back–Reid and Brad Womack!
Fleiss looks and sounds like he smokes 8,000 cigarettes a day. His teeth were scary too. Love that that O’Donnell one went to rehab. The fisherman has aged!!!
I had forgotten how much I dug the Jerry guy from Jen season…and love love that he is a sign language interpreter…so awesome! And he’s still SMOKING HOT.
As is our HOTTER THAN CRAP BRAD!!! Yummm Yumm! (didn’t pay much attention to the section but was able to see his hotness). I’m a greenbeaner going through heartbreak..gotta enjoy the views when I can.
Great job Lincee as always!
I may have more comments later after I rewatch the lowdown…only got to see portions here and there that i could comment on.
Melissa was not equipped to interview He Who Must Not Be Named. MTV dude should have done it.
@20, the fisherman has aged – badly. I feel sorry for Mary, for all the years they were together he never married her, yet never broke up with her either. She just wasted away hoping for a husband and a family and didn’t get either. I can completely understand why on her birthday, when she realizes that she is one year farther away from child bearing years – and single, that she would drink too much and get aggressive.
Brad was so freaking hot last night. I was very glad to see DeYawna finally admit that he did the right thing. Too bad she spent nearly A YEAR trashing him. This just reminded me of how much I don’t like her.
Matt’s teeth = good investment
Andrew Firestone is definitely one of the best bachelors ever. He was the “real catch”. Handsome, rich, from a good family, nice guy, loyal………………Lorenzo’s season……………approximately 20 hours of my life I will never get back.
I know I will be alone in this, but Jerry never really did much for me. I remember during her season thinking there was something disingenuous about him. (Maybe it was their lack of chemistry). I don’t know, there was just something missing.
my favorite part was when they showed a possible bachelor getting an std test. at least we now know the cast is clean.
#10 Ok Fan– Word. Melissa was “In it to win it” and what fired her up so much was that in the end she didn’t really win. Plus she seems like the kind of girl that takes great pride in being the dumper not the dumpee and couldn’t handle “losing”. Kudos to Jason for being gentleman enough to take all the blame and not calling her out on all this. Of course, he had to present things to Molly like “I choose you in the end” and not “She changed, can I take a mulligan with you.”
#23–Mo
Self-respect–realizing he’s stringing you along and kicking him to the curb (sober)
Crazy–deluding yourself about him stringing you along until the point you become drunk and violent (twice)
#24–D: haha, I wonder what the failure rate is one those tests. Plus, if Bob hooked up with 5+ women (and winner Estella claimed she wasn’t one of them) where was all this hanky panky going on if only 3 make it to the fantasy suite?
I agree with everyone who thinks Brad is hot. I stopped watching the Bachelor and Bachelorette back when Firestone was the Bachelor. I just started up again so I don’t know about the past bachelors and bachelorettes. But I have to say I regret not watching Brad’s season. And for everyone who thinks he is a jerk for doing what he did is stupid. He was honest and looking out of himself and the other 2 women. Would we rather them be another statistic for who didn’t work out? And I CANNOT believe they spent 20 grand on that guys teeth! That is crazy!!!
i am still outraged you weren’t the blogger chosen for the interview!!! Poor Prince Lorenzo didn’t even make it to QVC he is hocking items on HSN.
1.I loved Ellen’s moment of admitting her shame in watching this ridiculous, sleazy show…
2. What was with the bachelor updates that included NOTHING about their personal lives? We all know that that Palmer dude is a football announcer… so is he still single? what about the prince dude?
3. I seem to remember that Palmer dude being a bigger player than Bob…
4. Bob is probably the least attractive of ALL the bachelors
5. Brad and Jake are kinda the same dull personality, no?
6. That other blogger seemed to take the whole thing way too seriously!
7. I loved the wasted chick that said ‘of course I’ve partied since then, I mean I’m human… but no more champagne!’ Most of us ‘humans’ don’t hand our underwear to perfect strangers, even after cases of champagne…
Fleiss (please don’t tell me he is a daddy to females!) should have taken the 20K he spent on Matt’s teeth and paid 10K for Matt’s tops only and used the other 10K on his own bottom teeth – which were Way Icky!
The entire hour seemed a waste of time — thank gawd for dvr’s! I wonder what The Bachelor Franchise will throw at us NEXT Monday night!
Lindsee – you were screwed. So sad … You really would have been way more fun to watch! The chick that was interviewed as writing a bachelor blog was about as exciting as Fleiss’s bottom teeth. I wouldn’t even google her – because she looked like no fun and a no fun blog is no fun to read. Thanks for the fun this year, Lindsee!
Lincee, I agree with everyone on here that you should have been the guest blogger. ABC’s loss. I agree with Mo that during Jen’s season, I didn’t like Jerry either. I remember being really disgusted that she chose him. Also, I would NOT want to be Ali right now. As much as we all knew it, they sure took the rest of the shine off the apple last night, didn’t they? I mean, I’m still totally watching, but I wonder how Ali is feeling about her upcoming season after last night’s debauchery!
I loved when SleezyYetGenius Mike Fleiss said that Bob slept with “5 and a half” women. Yeah, I guess we can all use our imaginations about that half. I laughed out loud.
That blogger girl’s got NOTHIN’ on you, Lincee!! Ridiculous. She was BO-RING.
Oh, and He Who Must Not Be Named got drinks thrown in his CROTCH. Oh my awesomeness. Greatness.
Isn’t Mike Fleiss the brother to the former Madamn, Heidi? Nice family you’ve got there! Sleaze = Sleaze!
Obviously a casting call for the show requires some quirky or crazy personality traits to showcase during any given season. Look at all the really freakazoids that have been on over the years! YIKES!!!!!
Lincee – YES, shoulda been you – that was a production logistics thing b/c 20/20 is shot in NY – still, makes me seethe!
YES, the ick factor on Mike Fleiss was off the charts — really makes me want to stop watching for good – what a sleazebag!
YES, fantastic to see Reid (though he looked a bit bloated, didn’t you guys think?)
NO to HTC Brad — I gotta say, folks, I just don’t get the whole HTC Brad thing — to me, there is nothing hot about him —
I used to be a tv producer, and consider myself fairly “in the know” about how these things work — but I kept getting freaked out every time they used the word “cast”
My favorite was the recap of the people that leave and the girl from Charlie’s season who is crying and says “I mean if I were just uglier”…I laughed so hard the first time I heard that and I laughed when I heard it last night. Charlie and Sarah will always be my favorite!
PS. Mike Fleiss creeps me out. i feel like he gets off from the show. I wouldnt be surprised if he is hooking up with the girls once they leave the show.
i guess i’m naive or a total prude, but i really didn’t think they were all doing it in the fantasy suite. and having sex with 3 people (or 5 1/2, as the case may be) isn’t that many??!!
i had forgotten about what a slut bob was … i remember laughing with my husband that it would be hilarious if everyone got strep throat or something from all the back-to-back make-out sessions.
Heidi is Mike’s cousin………….still in the family though.
I’m glad I’m not the ONLY one who was creeped out majorly by Mike Fleiss. That man looks downright NASTY. Like you want him to take a bath, then a shower, then another bath, then another SHOWER….just makes my skin crawl. He looks like what I think a caucasion PIMP would look like…NASTY.
Melissa’s interview shed a lot of light on what some of these women are thinking when signing up for this type of show. I appreciated her honesty in saying that she was on the rebound and really wasn’t looking for love when she auditioned. We’ve all seen all the drama that goes down on this show season after season, year after year, and the odds of being the Final One are not good at all. Personally, I think it makes more sense (and is more mentally sound) to go on this show for the experience/adventure than to sign on fully convicted you will fall in love, case in point, this season’s desperate Michelle. She admitted that the dynamic of the show does overwhelm you, and she isn’t the first that has testified to being influenced by the Bachelor staff to buy into the process. I would assume that if you are isolated from your family and friends in a house full of strangers, then you either jump on the bandwagon or suffer through the experience. In the end, she came out on top, and I, for one, am happy she did.
Have to admit that I enjoyed the show last night way more than I anticipated…Not so much Mr. Fleiss…by the way to who commented before…my understanding is that he is Heidi’s cousin, not her brother…not that it matters as they are definately cut from the same cloth.
Was surprised that MF admitted as much as he did about the casting for drama, etc. Still not the whole story but more than I expected.
Loved seeing Andrew and Charlie…my two fave bachelors. Also, Merri my fave bachelorette.
Sad to see Mary and Byron…Thought she looked even better/younger than when she was on the shows (Blob and Byron), he, however looked very rough!
FYI — A sluther on FORT (sld) checked up on the blogger who was featured on the show vs. our own favourite Lincee who should have been featured…he also highly recommened this site!!! It seems that she was laid off from her law firm about a year and a half ago and has been kissing ABC and MF *ss in an attempt to be hired as a writer for the show. From what he wrote, it is *ss kissing at its finest .. rainbows and lollypops all the way … and nothing like the fun, snarky blog that we all love.:)
Favorite part of the show was the Mary/Byron section…including the mugshots and 911 call. Priceless.
I am 99.999% certain that Mary had her nose done. They kept switching from old to current footage and it definitely looked different.
I too was surpised that Fleiss admitted all that about the casting – it was so obvious when I was there. I remember one girl candidly confessing that she had promised the producers’ a “good show” and that she knew she was there as the “bad girl.” I have never felt so icky as I did the day I left that show – have never wanted to get away from a place so bad. It felt like I was fleeing Sodom & Gomorrah! hah I know I”m being dramatic, but still…and from seeing Fleiss I think you can all understand why!
I’ve read the other girl’s blog and its boring…if I want a recap I will go to EW. Lincee’s blog is hysterical!!!
BTW-not just one ABC intern, but a room full of them, and all they come up with is a picnic by the Hollywood sign? I hope they’re going to give us something more interesting to watch than that.
Lincee, I read three Bachelor blogs — yours, Bachelor Love (the one featured on ABC), and Reality Steve (can’t help myself!). Yours is by far the most entertaining, and I absolutely wish ABC had featured you as the guest blogger.
My husband said the same thing about you not being the Bachelor blogger…(I make me listen to all your funny statements so he knows you well.) Loved number 12 – I thought the same thing…brilliant but not a drop of emotion.
I kept waiting and waiting to see you on that show Lincee! It woulod have been sooooo majorly incredible to see you acknowledged for your hard work and hilarious blog!!! I think ABC missed out. SOOOO I email Ellen Degeneres and told her all about you. Don’t know if anything will come of it but maybe it will. Maybe if bunches of us email Ellen she won’t be able to resist. Power of the People and all. Here is the link to send her a message. http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/respond/?PlugID=10
Lincee, please forgive me for saying this but ABC’s loss is our gain! I’m convinced ratings would have soared higher, and you would have reached instant fame had you been a part of the program. So, selfishly I am thankful for the other blogger. And, ever so thankful that you enjoy and utilize your talents to entertain me and thousands of others during seasons of the Bachelor/Bachelorette.
I felt a slight pang of sorrow for Sarah and Mary. Neither seem to realize that the bachelor that picked them doesn’t seem to want to “buy the cow…cause he gets the milk for free.” Both have gained something from their experience whether it be temporary adventure or notoriety. However, I don’t feel they found what they set out to find which was a man that could be a husband and a father.
Mike Fleiss is creeptastic. Can’t. Stop. Shuddering.
YES!!! I agree with everyone above… Lincee should have been the Bachelor blogger featured last night! Just like # 17 Chele (and I’m sure many, many others) I yelled at the TV… “WHY NOT LINCEE?!!”
The 20/20 special was really good though! Thanks again, Lincee, for a really great and fun recap!
and Oh… I can’t wait for your Wednesday and Friday blogs!
Mike= creepy. Like, take-home-the-extra-bedroom-and-swimming-pool-footage creepy. Blech.
Lincee= robbed. But adored.
I have to ask because I can’t find it anywhere online…during the South Park clip, did Cartman say “now get the f**k out”?? I rewound it and I swear he did! Anyone?
Great little wrap up!! I was so glad to read it today… cracked me up!
Mike Fleiss is creepy….. 100%!!
And yes, they should have had you there for your wit!
Sarah and Charlie are getting a show on Oxygen according to a bunch of websites. 5 years after the show? Strange. I find it odd that they “ran into each other” at some party and reunited. Like a no-name reality star gal and a semi famous Hollywood actor with a really famous brother would run in the same circles after briefly dating.
I found it interesting that according to Fleiss, Bob bedded 5 “and a half” women, yet Meredith and Estella BOTH claimed they didn’t sleep with him, and they were in the final four. Assuming they aren’t lying, who the heck else did he sleep with? I thought there wasn’t much opportunity before they get down to the end. I guess I’m wrong.
Fleiss was creepier than the creeps in my creepiest dreams. He looked like a serial killer. I even started to wonder if they purposely creeped him out to get people talking. I guess I’m naive and have a hard time believing someone can’t actually be THAT disgusting.
I hate how this show fixates on marriage even after the contestants have moved on. Like Meredith promising her ring finger won’t be bare for long (puke…Meredith was always my fave, but yikes) and so on. It’s embarrassing for women.
I concur that Mary definitely had a nose job — she has that telltale dent going on. And Centrum Silver looked ROUGH and came across a little bit like a jerk, though Mary herself is no princess.
DDeaaaaaaahna is such an opportunist. Two years ago, it was to her advantage to slam Brad to get attention, sympathy, and a gig on The Bachelorette. Now, she doesn’t have much else in the Bachelor world so she makes this appearance to “reunite” with him.
Did anyone else notice that they seemed to cut off right before they get to the good stuff? I would LOVE to hear Jesse explain in more detail his approach to playing this like a game show, and basically how he was out to market himself. And why didn’t we hear the juicy details of what actually happened with Ian from Meredith?? It sounded good.
Finally, I think what Melissa meant was that she knew they’d break up, and in fact already were, but had no idea about the Molly thing, which was extra humiliating. I believe she even asked specifically if this was about Molly and Jason, the producers, and everyone lied to get her there. I’d be pretty furious and upset to be exploited like that, too, never mind if I didn’t want to marry the guy.
Overall, I was impressed that this special did give some honest peeks and admitted that the show is manipulated for drama and ratings. I always knew that, of course, but it was refreshing that they didn’t just cram 100% b.s. down our throats.
Did anyone see Stephanie’s (from Jason’s season) daughter’s room??? It was completely decked out with pink and sparkly things and ruffles and a mini castle and rainbows and a troll (ok, maybe not a troll)…it looked like My Little Pony threw up in there.
And…I was shocked to see how many of those women were STILL SINGLE! Really? I mean, really?
AAAnnndd I agree with everone else, Lincee. You TOTALLY should’ve been the guest blogger on the show last night. She’s no Lincee.
#51 Nojo Said,
I have to ask because I can’t find it anywhere online…during the South Park clip, did Cartman say “now get the f**k out”?? I rewound it and I swear he did! Anyone?
I think he did…b/c I remember cracking up going..OOOKKKKAAYYYY! LOL And I was sitting in a waiting room watching this w/ the volume barely up and I thought I heard that too! lol
#10, Melissa said that she knew the relationship was over, she was upset about being lied to by everyone, the crew, Jason, etc. All of them knew about Molly but did not tell her because they wanted to show her reaction on camera. Even MF admitted it, but said why deny the viewers the opportunity to see Jason tell Melissa why….
#57 – My awesomeness….I think I remember her saying in article that that’s why she was upset and I could understand that. I’d be pissed too. Man I have to really rewatch this…I missed a lot. lol
#34 – Bees Said,
My favorite was the recap of the people that leave and the girl from Charlie’s season who is crying and says “I mean if I were just uglier”…
I was rolling on this too! I’m like…yeah sure sweetie that would help. LOL
I also yelled at the TV “what about Lincee???” when that other “blogger” showed up! Lincee rocks!
My hubby was trying desperately to figure out how Bob boinked 5.5 women…
I know this special could only be so long, but I was dying to stay in that huge conference room full of interns and their laptops as they discuss date ideas for the Bachelorette. Wouldn’t you love to have been a fly on the wall when the intern first had the idea to leave Payton on the helicopter pad on her 2-on-1? I bet everyone was rolling around in hysterics and doing celebratory shots of tequila.
Were all those bachelors/ettes watching that said, “ABC knows what kind of person I am looking for and they are hand picking them just for me”…when they were talking about casting for roles of sexy girl, drama, etc!!! We knew it, we just did not want to believe it…
When MF was on the screen my hubby walked by and did a double take, “Who is that guy? He looks like a psycho.”
Lincee can’t wait to hear about the sweetest cowboy! I am so glad that you take all this time to blog for us, you rock!
Lincee
1. you rock! i love your blog!
2. the other blogger…blelach (or whatever the sound of throw up sounds like)
3. jason and molly meant for each other…did anyone notice molly’s hair getting darker by the update?
4. melissa is my favorite and i’m glad that she was able to move on and do soooo much better.
5. after pimping ty out for everyone bachelor and bachelorette episode he could NOW jason doesn’t want to show ty????
6. can you tell i hate jason?
7. mike fleiss? chester the child molester…
8. mike fleiss? Yuck Mouth (anyone remember that from the ABC Saturday morning cartoons? Yuck Mouth ’cause I don’t brush)
9. mike fleiss? is it any wonder his initials are MF (as in mother…shut your mouth)
10. loved the special and got so sucked into it I missed most of 24 (and I NEVER do)
10. bob g. the ultimate pimp…no wonder m.f. loved him and yes that 1/2 was a “professional” as wendy williams would say.
11. glad to see all the past people
12. glad to see stephanie toned down the makeup…now if we can just get her to get her eyebrows out of surprised mode
13. jake and vienna already living together? yeah right ooooooookkkkkkkaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy
14. love andrew firestone (and jenn) and think he’s the best bachelor EVER
15. did anyone notice that andrew’s wife looks like jenn (slightly prettier) and jenn’s boyfriends always look like andrew
16. mary mary quite contrary your garden will never grow. tinker bells and conch shells evil byron has a special place reserved in hell.
17. glad to see that fleiss admitted to throwing mel under the bus for ratings and that jason was slime
18. did OHCH really call Jake a girl in no uncertain terms? really? rotflmao!
19. and if jake’s the girl vienna does have that tranny thing going, so it all works out in the end
20. finally thanks Lincee for the years and great blogging you are awesome! i heart ihategreenbeans
Isn’t hotter than crap brad he who must not be named? I can’t remember!
#64 – nope that’s not brad.
Its the dufus who’s getting drinks thrown on his crotch who thinks he can sing! LOL I crack myself up!
Stupid Question, NOOOOO, HTC Brad is HTC Brad, always and forever…..nasty, nasty, sleezebag #3 dude from Jillian’s season who thinks he is going to be a country star is HWSNBN (He Who Shall Not Be Named). Lincee started saying HWSNBN because she didn’t want to say his name so he wouldn’t get hits on his website or have her website linked to his in any way. She didn’t want to promote him in any way, but she had to talk about his sleeztastic ways on Jilly’s season. Jilly let pilot Jake go just before she let him go and Jake came back to warn her about him because supposedly he had a girlfriend (what girl would want to date him I don’t know)…..anyway, hope that helps!
yeah, let’s all email ellen to get lincee some props
I emailed Ellen and told them how terrific and funny and clean but sassy Lincee is… I hope they’ll at least do some reading
FWIW I now live in England and can say in NO uncertain terms that no one here has a clue who Matt Grant is. (We can’t even stream ABC or watch full episodes online, it’s blocked.) And we have lots of celeb news but it’s Katie Price this, Jordan that, Cheryl Cole this, Lily Allen that, and Becks & Posh up the you-know-what. But no, not a whisper about Matt My-Least-Favorite-Bachelor (after Lorenzo…). I still feel like that whole season was a set-up, or at least he had an out in Lamas, and was 100% sure it wasn’t going to last… they might have been the shortest-lived Bach couple ever…?!
I wrote Ellen too!
#34 – Fleiss is indeed that slimy. According to reports, he hooks up with the women at the after-party of the WTA filmings. Like, has them drunk-cornered-and-his-tongue-rammed-down-their-throat hooks up. He is just ick.
The minute I saw comment #46, Ellen got an email from me. Great idea and let’s get Lincee her due!

Everyone email Ellen and tell her how awesome Lincee is!
I thought Matt said that his TEETH would be rock stars in England. Which is way funnier.
Lincee should have been picked for the in-depth blogger interview. I am convinced that other blogger girl must be dating the ABC Intern….
One more thing. Did anyone notice the lack of OHCH in this 2-hour special? We got a few choice moments but that was it. I would have much rather seen behind the scenes interviews with Our Host than with super creepy Mike Fleiss.
#73 You are right. Matt said his teeth are like rock star teeth in England, implying of course, that the average Brit does not have such beautiful teeth. He was not claiming to be famous.
#61 But ironically, Jake ended up with the “spoiled, bratty party girl” that Fleiss cast for him…
While we all love Lincee and think she deserved to be interviewed for this special, that doesn’t excuse trashing the other blogger. I don’t read that blog, but it’s not her fault they chose her over Lincee for whatever reasons, which as someone suggested could have been simply due to matters of convenience/location. Good for her, and can you blame her for saying “Yes, I’ll do it!” when 20/20 calls her to appear on their show? Lincee’s blog is awesome and no other blogger can take away from that, so let’s leave the poor other blogger alone.
still waiting for the Cord update!! maybe he wisked our dear lincee away on one of his free trips he won on amazing race!!!
I just wrote a plea to Ellen as well!! She needs to have you on the show!
Sent my 2 cents into Ellen…
#78 I totally agree! Thanks for your post!
I wrote Ellen a while back telling her to contact Lincee. I’m sure lincee will let us know if she hears from her!
I didn’t care much for the “special”. I mean, other that the creepy MF interviews, what else new did they reveal?? I am very happy for Jason and Molly, and I love Melissa too. Glad that she has come out smelling like roses in all this. Agree that Andrew is by far the BEST bachelor ever!! Love him and his wife is gorgeous. Is it just me, or did the women seem to get more beautiful after the first Bachelor. I just didn’t really see any really pretty girls on Alex’s season (i didn’t actually watch that season).
And for you Blogger Police people (#78), I think everyone has right to post here their feelings on anything related to the Bachelor (or whatever Lincee is blogging about). If people don’t care for the other girl, that’s just their opinion. You have every right to post that you think the other girl is awesome, but let the rest of us say what we feel. IMO.
Not to mention, some of us DID read that other chick’s blog… and it was borrrrrring….
I may be wrong, but I thought Matt said his TEETH were rock stars in England!
The whole time I was watching the show, I was screaming in my head, “WHY AREN’T LINCEE and Mr. Think-It the bloggers on this show?” Fail!
Thanks for a good season. Look forward to spending more quality TV time with you.

I emailed Ellen – hope Lincee gets some credit for making us laugh every week!
I LOVE reading your blog and this is the first time I’ve ever commented. I just wanted to let you know that I totally thought you should have been the blogger on the 20/20 special. Your comments are so honest and exactly what my friends and I think!! I’m also a big Amazing Race face so I’m enjoying reading about that too. Please keep up the great work!!
I emailed Ellen as well. I hope Lincee gets her 15 mins of fame!
#10 – agree completely. I just think Melissa is a hipocrite. She knew they were breaking up & yet played the sympathy card up. Whatever. Also, she still seems pretty raw about the whole Jason thing. I’d be offended if I were her new husband & she still has so much emotion over this Bachelor thing. Me thinks perhaps she married someone else too quickly. Show your new husband some respect & let it go already.
Mike Fleiss was so slimy!
I emailed Ellen, too. Suggested OHCH and Lincee would make a great duo to spice up a segment during next season.
Lincee,
I have been loyal IHGB follower since there weren’t even blogs, back in the days of the email forward. And I cannot believe ABC had some random blogger on there who we know is not even funny. My husband was like-”is that your girl?” and I was like “NO!!!!”. Who is that chick? Not ok.
But I have to say, as cheesy as it was, the 20/20 special made me feel proud of the hundreds of hours I have wasted on this show. I knew every inside joke, every character, had watched every moment. I heart that train wreck we know as the Bachelor…and I’m not afraid to say it!
IHGB rocks the hiz-ouse.
On HTC Brad: When they showed footage of him at the bar or pondering over a balcony, he looked like HTC Brad. Yum. But when they zoomed in during his face-2-face interview, he looked like a wax figure or like a claymation character. Hopefully, it was just caked-on makeup.
I felt kinda dirty after watching this special, especially when Mike Fleiss was on … I feel bad now for liking this show lol
