I’d like to start out by thanking all of you for your love and support. The sweet notes left in the comment section are extremely flattering. And the friend requests on Facebook have been overwhelming! I welcome you all with open arms! Group hug everyone! (A quick shout out to Jody Henry who friended me and I accidentally hit ignore on my Blackberry. Please try friending again! I’ll totally accept you! Sorry!)
I love how this website brings people together. We have huge followings in Chicago and I think it’s so cool that you guys are thinking about getting together for the finale. Please take pictures and send to me as you raise your glasses in a moment of silence for Our Host Chris Harrison. I will totally post them. Bonus points if you can get Nicole and Frank to join you. Someone might need to give them a ride back to the hostel when the night is over though, but I’m sure you’ll score a 25% off coupon at your next Abercrombie visit. I hear skinny jeans are on sale!
Finally, this weekend I had the opportunity to meet a good friend of the website. Many of you follow Some Guy In Austin (www.guyinaustin.blogspot.com) and marvel at his talented writing and clever perspective of the reality show we all love to hate. Some Guy and I both live on the same plane of reference when it comes to our sarcastic humor and general sense of comedic timing. He’s a true Texan who knows how to push a gal around the dance floor. And he does it with a Lone Star beer in his back pocket. There was a moment this weekend when he went rogue and played that awful “love don’t come easy” song by He Who Must Not Be Named over and over and over again. Just as my ears started bleeding all over the upholstery of his vehicle, he took mercy on me and switched to the “Thong Song.”
Even though his iPod consumes precious gigabytes for HWMNBN, it was impressive that he knew all the words to Sisqo’s scandalous underwear anthem.
I don’t care who you are. That’s awesome.
And speaking of awesome…
How incredibly awesome was Our Host Chris Harrison last night? Smooth. Poised. Funny. Quick. And dashingly handsome in his fashion forward ensemble that consisted of a dark suit paired with a lilac shirt and plum-colored tie. It was at that point that I decided anything in the purple family is Harrison’s color.
He strolls confidently onto the stage bathed in the soft essence of 1,000 tea lights, acknowledges the audience in the round, flashes his megawatt smile to the camera and announces with a refined elegance that he is, indeed, Chris Harrison. And the crowd goes wild.
Let’s be honest. We don’t care about the “Men Tell All.” We know it’s going to be a mind-numbing montage of footage we’ve already seen. Most of us only tune in to experience the debonair Chris Harrison and the blooper reel. Everything else is just fluff. Even the audience looked bored after Harrison’s entrance.
Trust me. They are bored. I’ve been there. A few years ago, Harrison invited me to come out to a taping of “The Women Tell All” during the good doctor Travis Stork’s season. Although it was a cool experience, the entire taping lasted about five hours. We drove to an obscure part of Los Angeles and were dropped off blocks from the address given to me by Harrison’s people. Being in an “ify” part of the city, I was convinced that soon, I would understand what Vanilla Ice experienced when he rapped about gun shots ringing out like bells as he grabbed his nine and all he heard were shells. As luck would have it, my ride (which was not a 5.0, but a Yellow Cab) was already gone and there would be no jumping into the car and slamming of any gas trying to maneuver bumper-to-bumper traffic. And none of us had a nine, but I’m pretty sure my sister had pepper spray. And Jill taught self defense. All I had was my vicious rhetoric and one bad knee. UNHELPFUL!
We walk towards a dodgy neighborhood after noticing a rather pimped out car driving through a pretty secure gate. This had to be the place. We grabbed the bars and looked through like the orphans in Oliver Twist. Resisting the urge to sing “Food Glorious Food” I straightened up when a rather large security guard came over and asked us what we needed. I dropped Chris Harrison’s name and the dude pretty much laughed and told me to have a nice day as he walked away from the gate.
Luckily, Harrison had given me his cell phone number in case of an emergency. I called it and the assistant answered. She was happy to come out and rescue us from the scary bodyguard. After giving up our phone, purses, cameras, emptying our pockets of all lint, a quick sample of blood and urine and promising to name our first born Our Host Chris Harrison, we were taken to an outdoor tent. They played the forgo card date episode (because they tape that week) and by the time we get to the end, everyone is hot, sweaty and extremely hungry.
Then they took us into the arena where it’s nice and cool. During that hour, they moved people around. Those in the shot of the camera needed to be primped and pretty. I was in the VIP section because I’m cool like that. The producers went around asking if people wanted to volunteer to be on camera. Those who did had to “audition” with canned questions. This took FOREVER. Naturally, I’m starting to shake because I am so freaking hungry. Everyone knows I always have peanut butter crackers or something in the “gummy” family in my purse at all times. But Bruno the Bodyguard has confiscated it and I was out of luck. Now I’m just irritated.
Corey the Warm-Up guy takes us through facial expression exercises. This isn’t annoying at all. We “oooohhh” and “aaaahhhh” for the cameras. We are on hour number four at this point. Soon the women come out and the entire thing takes another hour to film. They exit the audience like cattle and you’re on your own to find a safe way back to civilization.
So yeah. The audience is truly bored.
I’m going to break the recap down into highlights. Each will have a theme which may be enhanced by utilizing my personal recommendation of accompaniment music on your iPods. Enjoy.
Bachelor: Rated R Justin
Theme: He’s still a cheating douche.
Theme Song: “Secret Lover” by Atlantic Starr
Harrison was dogmatic about reminding us before every commercial break that Rated R was the season villain. He walks us through video montages of Justin telling Ali numerous times that he was “here for the right reasons.” We learn that Justin had not one, but two girlfriends as we looked back at his unforgettable hobbling exit in Turkey that included a rehash of the subtitled voice messages from girlfriend number one.
The audience boo’d him even though he wasn’t there.
Ty called him a liar. The Weatherman said his soul patch was cute, but he was evil. Kirk outed him and said that he heard him call girlfriend number one from the bathroom with the shower running. And Craig the Informer wants everyone watching that he is no friend…or relative for that matter…of Rated R and that he never wants or had a friendship with him. All his fellow bachelors applaud and I Google to figure out what in the world he’s talking about.
Our Host brings out the “super special guest” who ends up being Jessie. You remember her, right? Her best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with this girl who messaged her using the social networking phenomenon Facebook to get advice on how she can get on TV tattle on her cheating gimp of a boyfriend.
Wearing Harrison’s two favorite colors—short and tight—Jessie bounces out in a barely there strapless black mini dress. She talks about girlfriends one and two, tells a weird story about Valentine’s Day and then makes fun of Justin for not having a car. Just as we begin to conclude that her last name must be American Broadcasting Company, because there’s no other way the girl could have landed this much air time between Jake season, this flaunting session, as well as a coveted position on the debauchery known as The Bachelor Pad, Our Host politely dismisses her as he sneaks a sip of bourbon from his boot flask.
In an unprecedented moment, Harrison ascends the steps and is a mere inches from some of our lucky audience members.
You know he smelled good.
Anyway, he openly asks if the audience has any questions about Justin. One woman says that Ali did a great job calling Justin out and proclaims that all women around the world are proud of her. Another asks Craig the Informer if he would wrestle Justin in an olive oil match at a later date.
Two things happened at that moment.
1. Craig the Informer’s year was made.
2. An ABC producer grabs his “brainstorming” folder and takes a note under the Bachelor Pad 2 Great Ideas column.
Bachelor: Kasey
Theme: “He’s Looney Tunes. But one thing I have to give him. He stayed crazy the entire time.” Southern Ty
Theme Song: “Crazy For You” by Madonna
Harrison made a decision to blatantly call out Kasey’s craziness. He mentions him “guarding and protecting” all the time, the unfortunate singing and the embarrassing tat. Then he brings up the funny thing he and Ali did on their date in planetarium. Ali stares blankly and has no clue what Harrison is talking about. Fortunately, the ABC intern hands him his MAC with the Hulu clip all ready to play. Ali has no recollection of telling Houston that we have a problem while wearing an astronaut helmet. She was too drunk to remember. Remember…she had already heard Kasey sing twice. Do we really blame her for trying to force herself to pass out when her secret “help me” message didn’t reach Harrison?
I’m going to say no.
Kasey joins Harrison in the hot seat.
OHCH: “It’s safe to say that you did more to win Ali’s affection than any other man on the show. You were well on your way to win the coveted position as Mayor of Crazy Town. In the end, you were alone on a glacier. What was it like?”
Kasey: “Freezing.”
OHCH: “Not only were you rejected after showing Ali your wicked tat, but you were rejected for JUSTIN!”
Kasey: “I think it was admirable that she let me go since she wasn’t feeling it.”
OHCH: “Do you think you came on too strong?”
Kasey: “Oh Chris. There’s a girl somewhere out that who would have loved that.”
OHCH: “You realize that girl is more than likely in a straight jacket, right?”
Kasey: “Maybe. But I have other charms.”
OHCH: “You mean your singing? Dude. IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE. STOP.”
Kasey: “Here’s the thing. I’m not a singer.”
OHCH: “No duh.”
Kasey: “But I was having fun.”
OHCH: “While you were on that glacier, did you ever think, ‘Damn. I should not have done that.’”
Kasey: “Hey. I’m a memory.”
OHCH: “Kasey. You’re going down in history for sure.”
Later, Kasey mesmerizes us again with another original tune that he sings to Ali:
On the night I first saw you
I came to guard your heart
But you left me on a glacier
And chose that dumb ass Rated R
THE BACHELORS GO WILD!
THE AUDIENCE APPLAUDS!
Harrison checks his watch and rolls his eyes.
Kasey continues with a second verse:
Frank and Justin are bad guys
And they really did you wrong
I just wanted to make you smile
By singing you another Kasey song
THE BACHELORS FIST PUMP!
THE AUDIENCE FIRECLEY CLAPS!
Harrison sneaks another hit off the boot flask.
Bachelor: Kirk
Theme: She broke his heart but he will persevere and LIVE STRONG.
Theme Song: “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler or the cast of GLEE
Ali admits that Kirk’s scrapbook made him stand out among the sea of Bachelors on the first night. Harrison gives Kasey a tip and tells him to enroll in Creative Memories classes the next time he feels the need to impress a chick. Use ink on paper and not on your flesh.
Ali also states that Kirk’s Dad’s caribou foot with googly eyes named Norman was not creepy enough to send Kirk packing. Harrison is not convinced and asks Kirk to join him in the hot seat.
It is at this moment that I take a good look at Kirk and wonder if the ABC makeup artists are purposely using foundation that is a shade too light to make him look sickly. And they didn’t even try to cover up the massive circles under his eyes. As my Mimi would say, Kirk looked peaked. I was fearful that the mold had returned.
Kirk says he loved Ali and saw himself proposing. He tells us that his mold helped him realize that he’s ready for a relationship and if Ali doesn’t want to take that amazing journey, then he’s ready to find it elsewhere.
Harrison reads off of a card that “we have all been inspired by you” and Kirk hopes that was enough to land him at least a consideration as the next Bachelor.
Bachelor: Weatherman
Theme: To be gay, or to not be gay. That is the question.
Theme Song: “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls
There were several classic Weatherman moments:
1. I absolutely love that Chris Harrison called him Weatherman.
2. The Weatherman describes Ali as “mystical.”
3. The Weatherman’s jacket. That’s all that needs to be said.
4. Wearing a vest that he janked off of a blackjack dealer at the casino, The Guy You Can’t Remember tries to pick a fight by telling Weatherman that he “bi#ched out” when he was confronted by Coiffed Craig. Dude We Can’t Remember became very irritated when Harrison mentioned how awesome it was when Jesse boldly called Coiffed Craig’s bluff as they talked shop about how he wanted to knock him out with one punch. Nobody cares No Name Guy. Leave the little Weatherman alone and pick on someone your own size.
Bachelor: Phantom – Previously Known as Trista’s Husband Ryan
Theme: It wasn’t bad editing. The dude would randomly disappear.
Theme Song: “Ghost Riders” by Johnny Cash
This was probably one of my favorite parts of the entire show. I thought it was a little much on Phantom’s part that he had a t-shirt made and whined about Rated R. But Cape Cod Chris’ impression of him had me rolling on my couch. And Chris Harrison’s amazement at how much Phantom was talking on-camera was classic.
Miscellaneous Moments
• Roberto points a bottle of champagne directly at Ali’s head and almost puts an eye out. She didn’t care because he was in his baseball uniform.
• Harrison questions Ali about the peacocks making noises in the tree during her alone time with Roberto. He asks her to make that sound. She does. The intern passes him $20 bucks.
• Ali talks about walking the tight rope with Roberto and says, “I can’t think of anyone else I would want to do it with than Roberto.”
• Someone bold replaces Harrison’s champagne glass with a plastic one. When he taps the glass with a knife, no sound issues forth. He laughs, walks off camera, puts the knife up to that person’s throat and dares him to move. That person no longer works for the company.
• La Bacheloretta: Weatherman, Craig the Informer and Roberto all speaking Spanish to each other.
• Ali’s silver dress that looked like a bottle of glitter and sequins threw up on her.
Ali started with 25 men, but only two men remain…Chris and Roberto. I honestly have no idea who she will pick. I’m going to assume that there is a clause after Hotter than Crap Brad Womack season that states you MUST choose someone. If I had to predict right now, I would say Roberto wins and the Cape is our next Bachelor.
What do you guys think? Be heard in the comment section and thanks again for reading!
I’m all about the shame, not the fame,
Lincee
Anyone else notice the strategically placed roses that kept the camera from going straight up Jessie’s and Ali’s way-too-short skirts?
Classic! Well done. Did you mean “bottle of glitter and sequins”? Either way, too funny.
I did! Clever ABC intern!
“Wearing Harrison’s two favorite colors—short and tight—Jessie bounces out in a barely there strapless black mini dress. ”
LOL – great line
Fantastic recap, as always, and the report of you actually going to the taping in person is hilarious.
Just two comments about things that I haven’t seen mentioned:
1. What on earth were Ali, her “stylist”, and the hair and makeup people thinking with that hairdo last night? Someone in my office said it looked like she went to the prom two weeks ago and liked her ‘do so much, she didn’t want to comb it out. It looked like she had been caught in the rain and her hairspray had solidified. Do they not have mirrors in that studio?
2. Did anyone else think it the height of irony when that creepy-looking producer (can’t remember his name) commented about Matt-the-British-Bachelor’s bad “British teeth”? Are you kidding – again, are there no mirrors in there? There are guys panhandling on the corners that have better hygiene that that producer-fellow. His teeth look positively green.
Ann-question#2 The producer is Mike Fleiss, who is the creator of the show. That was way ironic and he is super creepy.
OMG, I forgot all about La Bacheloretta! I was rolling! Loved all those little deleted scenes and bloopers. So funny!
Ali’s hair was possibly the worst I’d ever seen it. I just don’t understand who thought that was even remotely attractive.
Love that you and Some Guy finally met up! He was awfully complementary of you on his blog…any chance of a love connection?! Can you imagine? They would have to start adding you guys to the current list of Trista and Ryan and Jason and Molly who found love because of the Bachelor!
Can. not. wait. for the Trashtastic mess that will be The Bachelor Pad!! Tenley and Kiptyn are totally the most perfect match made in heaven as far as this show goes. Wes and Gia?? Ick!!
I love CCC! Everytime I love one of the last two the other gets picked. Therefore, I have to place my bet on Roberto. CCC as next Bachelor! Thanks LIncee…have been looking forward to the recap all day and laughed when I saw the facebook post that it was up.
The producer is by far the most “Chester” white no window van driving creepy guy EVER!!!!
So funny, I think. I’m going to have to go back and read it again later. One of my lovely teenage daughters kept yakking at me and the sweet puppy had to bark at the cat that was outside terrorizing the neighborhood. Do they not understand my priorites in life? Dinner’s in the oven, what more do they want?
Fortunately, I did manage to catch Harrison’s two favorite colors, short and tight.
At least Phantom was talking about something! A haircut and a little sun cleaned him up nicely. It is too bad he didn’t show that much personality before.
Anybody else wonder if we’ve really seen the last of Frank? The fact that he wasn’t there for Men Tell All makes me wonder if he’s going to have second thoughts about Nicole and come running back to Tahiti next week…
Well done, Lincee – I think I very well may have pulled a muscle trying not to laugh out loud reading this at work. Seriously, something in my chest hurts!
My favorite line was: “As my Mimi would say, Kirk looked peaked.” Peaked, and really heart-broken.
Chris Harrison really is at his finest at these times. And although Ali looked a hot mess, did anyone else feel like she really was much more fun talking about the bloopers (and in the actual bloopers) than during the strictly edited season?
Finally, I was dying over an obviously drunk CCC making an obviously even drunker Craig the Informer “piss his pants”.
How do I find Lincee on FB?
Lincee – you need to record your blogs so we can get your full saracsm with your actual voice!!!!!! Maybe even read it aloud on camera and post to You Tube for your fans
How could you leave out the clip of Craig with the water bucket in his hand as CCC tries to make him pee! That had me rolling over…best moment of the whole show. That and OHCH’s radiant smile
And I think she picks Roberto b/c she has to, and Chris is heart-broken. So scared for him. I don’t think he’d want to be the next Bachelor though…too overwhelming for his sweet little heart.
And ya, are you kidding me that they spent $20k to fix London Matt’s teeth?! Holy crap! For the record, when I was living in London last year, I ran into him. At first I was like, How do i know that guy?! Did I make out w/ him at some point?? He looks so familiar, and is ridiculously hot! Then, at the stop before I was getting off, a lightbulb when off, I did a beeline for him and asked, “Were you the Bachelor?!” He smiled, said, “Not many people recognize me here” (it was a year after that season anyway). I said, “But we were supposed to get married and I’m now moving home this month!” He laughed and then showed me a picture on his iPhone of the chick he’s still dating (i asked if he was w/ the same producer lady). Couldn’t have been a nicer guy…
…and that was Bachelor sighting #4 – I’d already run into Prince Lorenzo in Vail (#1), yelled at him and told him he picked the wrong girl. His friend yelled back that he went back to the chick he dropped! The nice Christian one, can’t remember her name, Sadie maybe? #2 was hot doctor Travis at a bar in Denver, or should I say “Menver.” Didn’t get the guts to talk to him…#3 being Andrew Firestone, big deal. Matt was by far the best, and best looking
OH, and we just ran into Kypton again in Del Mar at the Opening Day at the Races. Mutual friends…he said it was a 3 week taping and he certainly wasn’t with Tenley that day…i never saw that season, but the guy looks like a first-rate douchebag.
Lincee…another classic recap! Seriously the highlight of my day. I nearly busted a gut trying not to laugh out loud.
Agree with all…the out-takes are the best and they should do a whole show with those…or at least not edit so many of those out. Those unscripted moments are what really make us love the guys!
1. Did anyone else notice how HOT Jesse looked last night? Loved his new haircut! (Jesse the Bachelor not the short black dress girl).
2. OHCH did say that Frank was going to be joining him on the After the Final Rose episode next week…
I live for Tuesdays! Never a disappointment when I read this BLOG! LOVE IT!!!
I say we begin a CCC Fan Club and stalk him…..maybe get hints from Kasey.
Just saw the tape to study Ali’s nose (not able to watch last night) and clearly she has had surgery. It’s subtle but definite. Her old nose had a curve like a parrot’s beak, and I thought it was charming. In profile now her nose is straight. That could be makeup or lighting, but if you look full front the nostrils are more narrow and there is something different right under the bridge. I am not a doctor, but I play one on television (not really, but I am a student of plastic surgery as I have considered doing it). I truly miss Ali’s old face, and now that she has had her nose done it makes it look like her eyelids need a lift. That’s what happens once you start down that path, it’s impossible to stop at just one “fix” – just ask Heidi Montag!
Kaitlin from #16 and 17- Those are neat stories….LINCEE, I think you should devote a blog entry for your readers to comment on other bachelor/ette encounters!
#16 Kaitlyn – so glad you mentioned the Craig R. hand-in-bucket bit. I was howling when watching it. Hands down one of the best Bachelor/B’ette moments EVER! And I loved the part where Ali is giving the one-on-one interview and bolts/screams mid-sentence. Then the camera pans out to show the lil’ cutey-pie mouse.
#19 – YES!!!! OMG! wow, he looked good…….
I wanted more bloopers of the mouse. Appearently it/they were a favorite with all the cast memebers this season!
Great recap Lincee!
Did anyone else notice that OHCH didn’t ask the standard question at the end: “Are you in love?” I’m betting she’s not with either Roberto or CCC now, but I’m betting that she picks Roberto. I think Frank’s departure really messed with her.
…the peacock, the mouse, the bucket with water, that weirdly worded toast from Frank’s father, Robert-o almost killing Ali opening champagne…funniest Tell All ever.
Random observation – in the last 2 episodes they’ve played the traditional “final rose” music during a CCC segment.
I actually did not like Jesse’s haircut. But I agree that Craig’s hand in the bucket was pretty frickin’ hilarious!
#5 I was totally thinking the same thing. You can fix Matt’s teeth for twenty grand but not your own. Ugh! He is nasty!!!
And I think she picks Roberto.
I would pay $20 to see Jesse from Peculiar, MO deck Coiffed Craig.
Did anyone catch Weatherman trying to get the crowd to give him a more intense “whhooohooo” when he was announced? Poor guy.
There were several guys that I failed to remember.
Loved Chris N aka The Phantom.
Who else thinks that she had been planning to pick Frank?
If CCC should end up being the next Bachelor, it would be much cooler if he gave out dentist bracelets instead of roses.
Lincee – You make my Tuesdays worth living! THANKS!
There have been a lot of people speculating that she won’t pick either guy next week. And most have said that they will be really upset if that is the outcome.
After watching how Ali reacted to Frank leaving last week, you can tell she really liked him a lot. It seems like in her mind this was the guy she was going wind up with at the end.
Then Frank broke her heart and it changed everything.
If she was truly falling for Frank and liked him more than the other two guys, then it means that neither of these two amazing guys are right for her. If that’s the case, I hope she does pick nobody.
She shouldn’t choose either guy if her heart isn’t 100% confident they are THE one.
Just like Frank couldn’t pick Ali when he knew he still had feelings for Nicole….Ali shouldn’t pick Robert-o or CCC if she still has feelings for Frank.
Ok, let me preface this by saying I really like Ali — i think she’s cute, entertaining, and would probably be a fun girl to have as a friend, or in my case, a daughter or niece. BUT…….
I just returned home from Ross Dress for Less (Tuesday is senior citizen discount day and while I am loathe to admit being over 55 — and usually hear “no way” when I flash the ol’ license — I can’t pass up the 10% discount) and folks, I am here to let everyone know that I have physical proof that the vast majority of muu-muus, caftans and other assorted “dresses” Ali wore on the show can be found on the dress rack at Ross! Either the “stylist” for this season IS Ross or his stock portfolio consists of nothing by Ross shares. The white “lounge” pants she wore with the tie dye top — Ross! The pink dress with the roses on the bodice — Ross, only in a magenta color. That hideous thing from last night that resembled a soda can — a mini-dress on the rack!
I couldn’t bring myself to look through the hair ornaments — the thought that I might come across those heinous hair extensions was just too disturbing to take a chance.
Lincee, were you even a fraction less interesting and accomplished than you are, I’d propose we put you up for the next Bachelorette — but frankly, I think you’d be hysterically laughing too much of the time. Besides, we couldn’t possibly subject you to that dirt sandwich Mike Fleiss.
You’re a gem kiddo — thanks for the smiles, giggles, laughs, snorts and just plain fun.
31. Amy – Yes, no doubt in my mind
Lincee thanks for bringing up the part about What’s His Name trying to make poor Weatherman cry. Seriously buddy? You want to be remembered as the guy who picked on the little dude? I know you were trying to portray yourself as a tough guy by demanding he turn around and face you, and as you fearlessly told the only guy in the group you can beat in a fight that he “bit**ed” out, you ended up looking like the bit**. I was praying for Jesse to pick him up by the scruff of his neck and shake him like a little rag doll for being a punk (and then sock Craig in the face for being a smug a-hole).
FYI… Kirk and Jesse (short and tight squealer girl) are dating now!! They met at the taping of the Men Tell All and hit it off. So apparently, Kirk’s favorite colors are also short and tight! ha!
My favorite line:
• Harrison questions Ali about the peacocks making noises in the tree during her alone time with Roberto. He asks her to make that sound. She does. The intern passes him $20 bucks.
Great!
First, I love this blog! Lincee, your comments are so spot on. Reading your reviews is the highlight of my Monday!
I just wanted to post a link to a great article from TV Guide, an interview with OHCH that was just awesome and almost warrants its own review, or re-posting at least. Hopefully it attaches above. If not, it’s on the Seattle P-I website.
‘Can’t wait until next week! Go Chris L.! I hope he gets picked by Ali because he seems like the best pick for her, a fun-loving but committed man who would make an amazing husband, but I have a feeling it’ll be Robert-o.
Apparently “Men Tell All” is time to be fancy… both Ali’s outfits looked like she was attacked by a bedazzler. wow. Loved the outtakes! Really, they need to show more of those in the regular show. it would make 2 hours of the bachelor/ette totally worth it.
I haven’t read the comments yet so someone else has probably already proposed this, but I think Frank comes back for the finale and she chooses him.
Also, poor Ali-a cute, sporty girl who gets “styled” into horrible outfits and hair!
I’m pretty sure she was in love with Frank, but I can’t see THAT happen–Frank leaving Nicole. I’d soo watch it though
I liked Ali’s dress at Men Tell All. I thought it was the first time all season she has actually looked fashionable!!
#16, Kaitlin, thanks for that great update. Wow, Lorenzo went back to Sadie. Smart boy, I always liked Sadie. Matt was hotter than hotter than crap Travis? wow, I didn’t think anyone was hotter than Travis. Lucky you.
#37 Leigh- How did you find that out? They seem like a very weird match. Jesse seems really into staying in the spotlight. She was VERY outspoken on the Women Tell All for Jake’s season, signed up for the Bachelor Pad, and then had her own little segment (in a teeny, tiny dress and serious extensions) last night. I’m honestly a little confused what ABC sees in her. Kirk seems so normal.
Earlier in the season someone posted the legal papers surrounding Kirk’s lawsuit for the mold issue. I (having a little too much free time) read everything and looked through the pictures posted. The place was disgusting. I can’t imagine why he even agreed to live there. The rumor was he wanted well over a million dollars for everything. Anyone heard what happened with that?
#21, Yeah, Heidi Montag is horrible. Of course, she picked a totally shallow douche bag of a guy who’s probably helped destroy her self esteem. Now her only career choice is porn actress. Changing anything and especially the nose, changes the whole personality and character of the face. I swear, I would lock my daughter up before I’d allow her to get plastic surgery, lock her up until she came to her senses.
#35, Loveswaves – hysterical!! We now have the whole story, ABC has insisted that their stylist only shop at Ross. Wow, are they cheap.
I LOVE CCC and think he’s absolutely adorable. All of his comments on the show are witty and funny, and the “Make Craig Pee” stunt was hilarious!
Kirk & Jesse dating? Hmm. He seems a little more conservative than her – I can’t say much for her wardrobe except it looks like she was an 80′s glam rock groupie and has kept everything and still wears it.
The Bachelor Pad – OMG! What a sight! Did anyone notice Elizabeth from Jake’s season w/BLONDE hair? She looked AWFUL!!! I can’t wait! I’m really surprised Tenley is on that show. I guess someone needs to fart rainbows and dream in cartoons there.
Lincee….GREAT POST….you are comedic GOLD! I cracked up your themes and song titles…especially with Weatherman…to be gay or not to be gay. LOL I said the same about a few of those guys that was there…including the no name one who tried to be all tough guy. You said he should pick on someone his own size…if I remember what little (haha) I do right….he is the same size as Weatherman. lol Which made his call out attempt even more LAME!!! So let me get this straight no name…how dare he call CraigR out to Ali and not own it when CraigM asks who did….but YOU didn’t own it when you were flapping your little (haha) gums chiming in with everyone on RatedR in the backyard and he came out and asked to be spoken too face to face. Did ya? NOPE!!!!
Oh what #36 Dennis (not the bracelet) said too – you WIMP! I harder than you on my SLOW days! ugh…and take CraigR with YOU.
Oh and Lincee…thanks for the shout out to Chi-town! I don’t know if I could stomach Frank though if someone even paid me to. No discount would probably be worth it for how many times I’m sure I’d be rolling my eyes to the back of my head!
#19 – comedyatitsfinest – YES on Jesse!!! I left a stuttering comment somewhere on here after I saw him…that dude is going to get hotter and hotter the older he gets.
#40 Heidi- OMG get out of my head I totally thought that Ali looked like she got an a$$ whipping by The Bedazzler and after seeing on 20/20 special that there is indeed a “stylist” and I use the term loosely I wanted to say ABC should fire said “stylist” ASAP maybe hire Foot Fetish Tanner to do it??? Great Recap Lincee since you did not have a ton to work with the Vanilla Ice references..classic!
hello lincee! once again you did a great job with little material. Can you give OHCH a call and tell him to not make these episodes two hours! Thanks to you I laugh out loud while reading this! I heard that Kirk is moving to Minneapolis- less mold!
Lincee, Solid work in spite of the hacking–on the website and not the show, I mean. That was painful to watch. The more I think about it, the less I see her picking either dude. I think Roberto and Chris L. resort to an olive oil wrestling match in order to see who gets to be the next bachelor. DP
My favorite line: Chris Harrison laughing about the plastic cup and then “He laughs, walks off camera, puts the knife up to that person’s throat and dares him to move. That person no longer works for the company.” Awesome.
#39 CER: Thanks for the article tip! It’s a good interview with Chris, and I think possible unintentionally telling? Chris is talking about Kirk here: “But that’s the kind of guy Kirk is — he wears his heart on his sleeve. Kind of like Chris L., where he allowed himself to fall in love again, this is the first time since Kirk’s health issues that he’s like, “I’m back.” So I think Ali, for both Chris and Kirk, stood for something more than just falling in love. To that extent I think it’s probably best that Kirk and Ali didn’t end up together. Now he can know he’s ready and find somebody’s who’s ready.”
Now I think I’m probably over-analyzing this, but do you think he meant to group Chris into that category with Kirk (as not the right person for Ali)? He says it’s probably a good thing that Kirk didn’t wind up with Ali because he saw her as something “more” than just falling in love – and he said the same thing about Chris. I really hope I’m just reading into this a bit too much.
Also, did anyone see the preview for next week’s finale? It was on during “Wipeout” last night and I don’t even want to post what they showed here, it was so spoiler-ish. Either that or they really want to fool the viewers with tricky editing.
I wonder why Kirk didn’t bring that phone call to anyone’s attention, when he heard Justin blabbering on about “Oh Jessica, I love you”. MTA is SO flippin’ boring. Should be an hour, then maybe 30 minutes of “Where are they now?” for past contestants, and 30 minutes of bloopers.
Kaitlyn, when can we hang out?
You seem to be in the midst of everything to keep running into all these Bachelors!
#19 HOLY CRAP YES. Shades of HTC Brad in that one, just give him a few years. My goodness.
Ok i didnt watch MTA, because it is so dang boring but I knew Lincee, Guy in Austin, and Hare’s popwatch blog would do me right–and they did. I’m pretty torn about the ending and can’t wait to see who she picks!! Heart CCC.
As for Kirk and Jesse, last I read, People magazine said he drove up to Canada to hang out with her to see if they had something. I call no.
Elizabeth (yeah, bad blonde job….) and Jesse wine-guy from Jillian’s season are dating in real life and appear on the Bach Pad together. She’s gross and he’s so hot. I hate that.
and Kaitlyn, ditto on hanging out!! How do you run into all these people?? I need to go to Vail….
Wow Lincee! Only you could come up with the best recap for the the dullest men tell all episode ever. That was great! Loved your Hare comments. Oh and my favorite lines…oliver twist..vanilla ice…kirk and his coverup/peaked….looks like a bottle of glitter and sequins threw up on her. Hysterical!
I’m sure someone has already posted this about Jesse and Kirk…..If Kirk is the next bachelor, I refuse to watch…no chance though.
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelorette/the-bachelorette-kirk-and-jess-37693.aspx
p.s. I hope triple c isn’t the bachelor. I don’t want to end up annoyed with him and I have a feeling once he’s in the spotlight that could happen. Unfortunately, your predictions are spot on.
p.s. so excited for the bachelor pad. I hate to say it because everyone hates him but I’m looking forward to seeing Craig “Dangerous” McKinnon. He is a treat to look at. I actually thought he was hysterical. A jerk, but c’mon, the show is a joke anyway.
Hey y’all! This is my first comment, go me! Anyway, I think she picks NO ONE. I think Roberto has been kept because he’s hot and nice. CCC is perfect but not for her but more for me
Well, that and the next Bachelor. I think we can all call that one!
k, last thing. Watch the third video down. This video provides somewhat of an explanation to Ali’s style on the show. Oh, and Ali may be coming out with a new swim suit line! Yikes!
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-bachelorette/the-bachelorette-kirk-and-jess-37693.aspx
#61 – MesquiteMelissa – you skating on thin ice newbie!!! Watch it. LOL – It’s well known by many beaners here… I’m FIRST in the CCC line….with Marus a close second.
Lincee, you’re the best! I must have refreshed no less than 30 times yesterday, waiting for your recap to be posted! It was a rather boring MTA, as MTAs go, but my viewing experience was kind of interesting, as I have a friend staying with me who has never watched The Bachelor or Bachelorette before. So she had the honor and privilege of watching MTA with me, and I got to field all sorts of newbie questions from her. Like…”I don’t get it. Why did she fly around the world to go on dates with these guys? Where are all of the other guys while she’s on this date halfway across the world?” “Why do they all have LiveStrong bracelets on? Is that like a pre-req for the show or something?” “Also…what is UP with that girl’s hair?” It was fun to get her newbie perspective on the show and on the two remaining guys. She’s a CCC fan (as am I), but after she saw/heard what happened with Frank (“Did she really just pull that flower out of her hair and throw it on the ground while pouting her lips?!”), she agreed with me that Ali is likely to pull a Womack and choose no one.
If Ali chooses no one, I’m with whoever commented earlier and said that CCC should not be the next Bachelor. He’s too sweet and down to earth for that, I think. I don’t think he could handle it.
On an unrelated note, I want to thank whoever posted yesterday about Ali saying on Jimmy Kimmel that Craig the Informer is the guy she’d want to set up a friend with, because he’s so great to be around. I’m from Philly (and he’s from Philly) and he’s rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning for some reason… to the point where I would probably march up to him at a bar (flexing my beer muscles) and tell him exactly what I thought of him. So I’m glad to know that he’s a nice guy, because now if I happen to run into him, I will refrain from doing that!
Great re-cap Lincee! I think this was the best yet…it’s amazing what you did with so little to work with! The show was a snooze fest with the best part being the bloopers….well that and Chris Harrison’s smile! I love that man. I am so anxious to see what happens next week…I’m worried she picks no one also…and sends poor CCC home with a broken heart. I adore CCC and I would love for him to be the next bachelor if they allow him to keep his sense of humor and stay genuine…but imagine thats hard to do with Mike Fleiss lurking around.
Okay and I love that you and Some Guy in Austin got together this weekend. It was fun reading about your night out on both of your blogs.
Cant wait till Monday (I need a life) and to see what happens but best of all Lincee’s take on it! I also enjoy reading all these comments…you guys make my day.
She does not pick either one, and I’m glad. Cape Cod Chris is way too good for her, anyway. I’d love to see him as the new bachelor, just so I’d get to see him again, but he may be too level-headed and normal for that show.
Great recap even though you didn’t have much to work with, Lincee! Lovedlovedloved the Ferris Bueller reference
#16 – Kaitlin – OK clearly YOU need to apply for the show – it’s LITERALLY calling your name with all the sightings you’ve had. Am I understanding your other post right? Kypton comes off like a douch to you? Really? Wow…guess that says something for in person interactions being best at reading people of course. (think that last part sounds right. lol)
Saggleo, I heard Kate Hudson had a boob job but did she have something done to her face as well???
The trying-to-make-Craig-pee stunt and his imitation of and comments about the phantom made me love CCC that much more. Damn, he’s cute.
#70 I could just re-type what you said. Agree 100%!
#69 Reno – http://www.etonline.com/news/2010/07/89396/index.html found the link online. I can’t seem to find the actual commercial though for some reason. In viewing the commercial you can really tell something isn’t the same. It’s not as noticeable in the link for some reason..some parts yes but not where its in your face as the commercial shows it.
It’s like something is different between her cheeks and eyes. Like some of the definition is gone and it’s more puffy in between those areas..she looked swollen but in an off way in the commercial. If you still have the episode I rewatched some last night and saw that was right after Kasey segment in the hot seat. Sheree had asked that before but I couldn’t remember at the time. It’s like the Botox or fillers or whatever she’s doing caught up to her that it’s noticeable now.
If anyone is interested….apparently Melissa Rycroft and her new hubby are expecting their 1st baby.
http://omg.yahoo.com/news/melissa-rycroft-and-husband-expecting-baby/44657;_ylt=Aodxm2VKBAha6T2q0OsUd39Ppxx.;_ylv=3
Loves Waves–Your comment cracked me up! I don’t have Ross where I live but I am familiar with it! I can just see Ali’s stylist (Cary Fetman–let’s find his contact info and give him a piece of our minds) combing the racks. “Hmm….see-through palazzo pants and ugly racer back tanks, and a black leather jacket, perfect!)
thanks for the link about the rose ceremony (love her dress) and her stylist, ha! I like her more and more because she seems very genuine now (if one forgets the fake tears with jake).
Did anyone else notice that Kirk was wearing a thumb ring??? how did this happen? First mold sickness- now Frank sickness!!!!
thanks for th Chi-town shout out Lincee. I am worried if we all get together here though Saggleo would slug me for swooning over CCC too much;) JK- I know you are first in line lady!!
Don’t come down so hard on Kirk!! I have known people who have lost their house, never to return to it again, b/c of mold and they had horrible health issues!
#76 – Betty – LOL I put up the dukes only if necessary. LOL You’ll be safe…no worries.
I must really be getting old. I thought Ali’s dress at the Men Tell All (the silvery short one, not so much the other one) was a) objectively hideous and b) looked horrendous on her. I am astonished to read that there are people who like it!
I’ve come to like Ali far more than I ever would have thought possible when the season started, and I also think she’s a very attractive woman (even with the 15 extra pounds). Surely they can do better for her than this – I’m no fashion plate, but even I know that you are supposed to dress to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative, not vice versa which seems to be the Bachelorette stylist’s approach this season. I KNOW he/she could have done better, even shopping at Ross!
on the People magazine site, there is a miniature image of next week’s People Magazine with Ali that says “Why I Broke the Rules” – what does that mean? Does anyone have an advance copy of People?
I was looking for the People Magazine “mini image” (#80 Suze) and ran across this about Rated R’s reaction to MTA…http://tvwatch.people.com/2010/07/27/bachelorette-justin-rego-men-tell-all-reaction/
#45 Claiborne…Here’s the article
http://tvwatch.people.com/2010/07/23/bachelorette-kirk-dewindt-jessie-sulidis-ali-fedotowsky/
# 48 Yes. Elizabeth from Jake’s season who would not let him kiss her but kept teasing him with it. She sure changed her tune on previews of Bachelor Pad. Rather slutty if you ask me.
And Kirk can do much better than Jessie. Hope he wakes up!
Great recap Lincee – as always. Something about that Jessie chick rubs me the wrong way. On Jake’s season, she was the girl who never spoke (and got very little air time). Then, she was so outspoken at the MTA ratting out Roz and her “relationship” with the producer. Now, she seems to be everywhere.
Lincee, always love the recaps. Just had to say that I really do think that Ali does not choose anyone. Her excuse? She planned to pick Frank. Totally agree that Cape Cod is the next Bachelor, though. Love ya!
Melissa Rycroft is pregnant!!!
More douchiness on Jake’s part:
http://www.thebachelorshow.com/article/jake-pavelka-doesn%E2%80%99t-tip
Enjoyed the recap!! I think she’ll choose Roberto and CCC will be the next Bachelor. Sign me up!!!
Just wanted to share some news. We are having a benefit here in Kentucky for a friend who has cancer. I tweeted a hundred or so “celebs” and asked them to donate an item for our silent auction. Guess who responded!! Vienna! She emailed me and got my address, then emailed me again when she sent the item out. She was very sweet and gracious. I’m definitely Team Vienna after that!
Misty- that is awesome! Is it celebrity items only that you’re auctioning? Did you try Reid/Jillian/Ed/Kip? They actually do a lot on Twitter, so I imagine they’d be pretty philanthropic for stuff life that.
#55 Anne – The commercial during Wipeout was spoiler AND the previews after the deleted scene is a spoiler! Might be the same preview…. I’m so glad I DVR and skip all the commercials. I never watch anything live. I’m hating that ABC is doing that!!!
Her biggest fear may come true! And they are saying that the ending is something that has never happened on Bachelor/ette history.
I watch E! News and Daily 10….daily….and skip the commercials…..Tenely is on D10 and they keep calling her Ali’s BFF! I’m cracking up! Tenely need to stay off TV. She can’t read the cue cards and barely get answers out when she does answer a question w/o cue cards. She’s a horrible spokes person….and I like her as a person.
#91 KeelyG — I wonder if the guys reject HER. Or, maybe as she’s standing there waiting for them to arrive, she suddenly decides not to go through with it. Although, that would be such a huge letdown.
CCC can come cry on my shoulder….
Bahamamama, I tried Jillian, Kiptyn, Jake, Tenley, Gia, and several others. Vienna is the only Bach who responded. No, we aren’t just auctioning celebrity items – we have lots of local items, but I thought it might help to bring in some celebrity items to raise more money. Dick Vitale, Patrick Patterson, Ken Paves, and Loren Ridinger have all responded on twitter. If anyone wants to check out our website, it’s http://www.rondellswarriors.com. The benefit is August 7, and if anyone has any connections to get us any types of items or services to auction, we would really appreciate it, no matter what it is. We have a signed guitar from the Judds, plus concert tickets and meet-and-greets. We have tickets and DVDs from Celtic Woman. We also have golf packages, a case of gator jerky, hotel stays, jewelry and all kinds of other stuff. I would love it if you greenbeaners could help!! My email address is mistybaize@gmail.com.
#92 Here for the right reasons….I didn’t want to give any spoilers just in case those of us who skip the commercials don’t see it. But that’s my guess. But what about the gossip on E! that she’s getting a wedding dress. WTW?! So maybe he rejects but says lets try it for a few months. Or Frank dumps Nicole and then Frank asks Ali to be his wife. THATS never happened before. #3 wins! HAHA! I dunno. All the drama!
My only commment is. I don’t want anymore recycled bachelors or bachelorettes. Basically, we started with a loser that wasn’t picked, then he didn’t someone who wasn’t picked by someone who wasn’t picked by someone, and so on.
We need knew blood to keep the show alive.
I think she picks Roberto too. However, if Chris was the new Bachelor…it would be snoozefest! He’s a nice guy, but he does not make for good tv.
Chris, a snoozefest – are you kidding me?! He’s got a great sense of humor and seems very real. He’s the only one with personality on the show!
#39 CER, thanks for sharing that link! Haha..this is awesome:
TVGuide.com: So is it really the most dramatic finale ever?
Harrison: Yeah, that kind of cheapens it, but yeah it is. I’ve cried wolf too many times.
#56 boredwiththisseason, I thought Kirk meant he heard Justin turning on all the water but didn’t know what he was doing, then when he heard the message later and heard the water in the background, he put it together that he was calling her? I could be wrong..
#91 – so isn’t her biggest fear falling for someone and that someone doesn’t return her feelings. Just speculation here but what if Ali, even after admitting that she really really liked Frank, asks one of the other two to be her second choice, and he says NO! That’s never happened before on the Bach/ette. After a “Will you marry me?” has been dropped, no one has ever said “NO”. You had HTC Brad not ask either one. You had Charlie O’something say he wanted to date for a longer period in the real world and she agreed. There has not been a single NO.
1. Phantom needs to refrain from using the tanning bed for at least a week or two
2. I kinda want to marry Frank’s dad after seeing him giving that speech
3. I’m going to feel such a sense of emptiness once the finale is over so I am extremely thankful for the Bachelor Pad!
4. I LOVE LOVE LOVE CCC I don’t know if I can bare to see him get his heart broken!!!
#98 Deb – it is an interesting question. What can possibly happen that has never happened before? Making a promise but not a proposal? Done. Picking neither? Done. Having someone who has left come back and ask to be included in the process again? Done. Continuing to date both and choose later? Done. You’re absolutely right that the one thing that has never happened is a “will you marry me?” being answered with “no.”
On the other hand, Ali is supposedly happy and relaxed and in good spirits, which is hard to believe would be the case if she was turned down for the proposal. I’ve avoided all spoilers thus far…please let me be strong for another 5 days!
I’m wondering if the “never happened before” part might be that Ali decides to NOT let both guys come to the final rose platform.
Yes, she shows up in the “Final Rose Ceremony” dress (or is it partly pants?). We’ve seen previews of that. But they’ve never shown the GUYS at that location.
A. Maybe she picks one guy, and then leaves the platform to tell the other guy what she decided.
B. Or maybe she picks neither of the guys, and goes to them to give them the bad news elsewhere.
Either way, it would be new, because the platform is always the centerpiece of the final scene with the Final 2.
#101 Keeper – I’ve been thinking along those lines also…maybe she tells the one she’s rejecting before the ceremony so he doesn’t have to be put thru all that anticipation….and only the one she chooses comes to the Home Depot platform. That’s never happened before.
#100 Juno – I haven’t avoided the spoilers; however, what I said in my post is pure speculation. That is the ONLY thing that has not yet happened at a Final Rose Ceremony. Ali did seem relaxed and in good spirits at the Men Tell All.
Not to wish her ill will, but I would so love it if there was a “no” at the end of this. Only because it was clearly apparent by her answers that Frank was her chosen one. If that’s the case, she would be heartbroken and I would think, in all good conscience, could not offer her heart and a proposal to one of the other two.
I would hate CCC and Roberto to be second choice. Based on what we’ve been fed by editing, they appear to be nice guys. They probably have no idea that Frank was really who she wanted. And to be 2nd place to Frank? Blech!
Just watched the beginning of the first episode of the season for the first time, and was shocked to hear this comment from CCC in the limo on the way to see Ali — about Ali having been on Jake’s season of the Bachelor:
“She was my favorite, far and away.
I was psyched when she left, because she was the only one I wanted.”
Wow.
#95 Big Fan… Watch callin our man CCC a snoozefest I know Marus, Saggleo will join me in defending his honor. FYI my friends and I are making cheesy potatoes to enjoy for the finale little shout out to Kirks meemaw
ABC showing big spoiler clip of finale during regular programming …where both guys are saying can’t do this, not ready, etc.
I just read this on Yahoo!Shine (silly site, but fun to read), but apparently Kirk got a huge settlement out of the mold problem. Huge.
http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=458291&page=1&&dbid=0
Here’s the article on Yahoo!Shine:
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/sex/revenge-of-quot-the-bachelor-quot-rejects-7-dumped-constestants-who-got-even-2172366/#photoViewer=1
I think she will choose Roberto, but Craig the Informer will be the next bachelor…and that’s why they basically let him CO-HOST (unthinkable) the entire “Men Tell All” episode.
CCC is too classy to be a bachelor.
#104 – Keeper – He’ll forget all about once he meets me! LOL hahahahahaa
#105 – TattooGal – THAT’S RIGHT TATTOGAL!!! CCC is NO snoozefest!
#108 saggleo, keep the faith!
BTW, did anyone notice how Ali was sometimes shy (in a flirty way) with CCC on the Tahiti episode?
She did the little-girl-whisper to Chris when they were having dinner and he told her he sees himself with her forever.
She did the (almost tearful?) shy smile/shoulder shrug by the pool at night when Chris told her it didn’t matter where they lived as long as they were together (and they visited Cape Cod 4 times a year, and she said, “I can do that”).
She did the shy smile/shoulder shrug again when she gave CCC the first rose.
In the past, she seemed more in control around Chris, so this was a departure.
The body language differences are interesting, but I’m not sure what they mean.
Keep the faith, saggleo #108!
Did anyone notice the (almost tearful?) little girl shy smile/shoulder shrug Ali did with CCC when they talked about the future beside the pool at night, and then again when she gave him the rose? She also did the little whisper when they talked at dinner.
She always seemed so in control around Chris before, so that hint of shyness was a departure.
The changes in body language are interesting, but I’m not sure what they mean.
Sorry about the double post, all
It looked like it ate what I typed and I had to start over!
I don’t think Ali chooses CCC or Roberto and Roberto will be the next bachelor. Someone mentioned Frank coming back to Ali in the finale. Never thought of that happening but that would be something I could see happening since Ali is so in love with him. Never saw any chemistry between her and CCC and she seemed only enamored with Roberto because he’s so handsome. Seemed like she never believed he could actually be into her. And I agree with the majority here that CCC is too good to be the next bachelor. I wouldn’t want to see him subjected to it. He’s that rare good guy that the lucky few snag and keep forever, the best guy I’ve ever seen come through the show.
Weatherman may be odd, but he’s very funny. Very entertaining. Hope that he’s not jeopardizing his meteorologist career by chasing a reality show.
Dangerous Canadian big hair wacko should have been discussed a little more on MTA. Over.the.top.behaviour.
I fell a little in love with Mr. Ty during the MTA. Yum.
Mold is no laughing matter. But I’m not all about pointy hair Kirk. Seems like he’s pompous.
Frank looks like a buggy eyed, oily faced troll with a wishy washy mind that lives with his mumma.
Kasey’s kermit voice trumps his nutty tattoo. Gah.
Phantom came out of his shell a little too late. The tshirt was lame.
Attorny is a blow-bag…probably was a bully in high school. Fat face. Yuck in 5 years. Soft.
Justin the Wrestler. Rated Loser. Douche.
******
The show is continuing to get more far fetched so that we can have more “firsts”. Losing credibility. Bachelor Pad reinforces this theory.
Disappointed that Tenley lowered herself to do Bachelor Pad.
Gia seems to be riding out the ho train even longer. Sad.
*******
people are chasing fame, not love.
********
Ali seems quite full of herself. Also will be pleasantly plump in 5 years. The cameras did not pan down her body or linger on her legs like they did for the other girls. They gave her a generous edit.
***********
Enjoying the comments and the blog. Thanks for the open forum for discussion, Lincee!
#101, #102 – totally came to that prediction myself this morning, without having seen your comments…
I’m thinking she tells CCC the night before (fool that she is) and he never gets to the Home Depot platform. They couldn’t show a platform shot of Roberto and not Chris, so they’re not showing one at all… Not sure exactly how it will play it with Roberto, but have a feeling she ends up alone.
Argh – I hate you, ABC, for having me think about this over the weekend!!
I can not thank you enough for these recaps!! I have read them since they were but a wee email blast, but we just moved to Singapore from Houston and I would have seriously DIED without these recaps….I still may die from Chuy’s creamy jalapeno dip withdrawal or Sonic withdrawal or Chick-fil-A withdrawal. I’m just so glad I have had a way to continue keeping up with this crazy season!
The current issue of People magazine with Ali on the cover includes quotes from Reality Steve. So, if you don’t want this season spoiled, do not read the article. Maybe he’ll be wrong this time- but he is usually right on. Just a warning.
