A Message from Chris Harrison


Received this email from Chris Harrison:

"Brad is really good and reps Texas well. We'll both be stopping by Dancing with the Stars Monday night before the show to promote. Look forward to reading you blog on Tues... The best gift I could ever give you is a girl named Melissa.... enjoy!"

Isn't it just like our favorite host to provide us with such a wonderful morsel of information before we begin our journey together tonight?

SIX HOURS TO GO!

Does he really email you?

Lincee said...

I typically email him first, but he's pretty good about responding within a few days. Always has a little inside glimpse of something to look forward to. He's really my favorite host of all shows with a host. Seriously.

How cool do you feel that he reads your blogs??? Hahhahaha

Brad looks great theres he really seems down to earth and a good guy. Not to mention he's the most attractive Bachelor ever. Theres a bunch of picture on www.realitytvspoiler.com of brad and his brothers and it looks like two of them are identical twins! What do you guys think?

Does anybody remember The "prince" or the tire Guy man were those crappy seasons. Hopefully this one is as good as season 10.

Okay, I'm excited to read your recaps again. We're currently watching the show and super cool that Chris H. wrote you (even though there was a type-o). :)

I think "relator" is code for "stripper"

I don't think I can watch/ listen to this guy for an entire season. his accent is so hokey and he looks WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYtoo much like Patrick Swayze. Sorta inbred.

what did Chris' comment about michelle mean? Some behind the scenes stuff?

Anonymous said...

seriously, webbed feet, scrunching yourself into a pretzel, pulling out your meat cutlets, and don't sing if you CAN'T model girl...

Megan said...

That email just made me get an automatic crush on C.H. No joke. I just watched the episode, and Melissa WAS the best gift he could've given us.

Hey Lincee! I too have been saying the alphabet backwards! All my kids do it too! I'm sooo proud! Love you!

Anonymous said...

Chris Harrision you did not disappoint! Where's my boob...HA!

Can't wait for the recap, Lincee.

Anonymous said...

so Melissa's the drunkie who lost her boob? She looked anorexic after she took the other one out. She kept talking to herself during the rose ceremony. Psychoooooooooooo!

Anonymous said...

i seriously love ch!! this season's bachelor may be the best yet.. so cute and actually seems like a real guy no fake tears, yada yada yada.. loving the season so far!!

and girlfriend.. who hates that the hills conflicts with the bachelor.. come on - ever heard of tivo or a dvr? please.. plus they rerun every episode of the hills at least 50 times on MTV.. seriously!!

Anonymous said...

They also show the Bachelor episodes on the ABC website so for those of us who have more important things to spend our money on than DVR or TIVO, there are other options. But thanks for the tip.

I can't wait for the re-cap. There should be NO delima about watching this or The Hills. What other show can you watch a girl lose her boob another girl wrap up into a pretzel with her head looking like it came out of her crotch...and webbed feet? Hello? I would hide those things....and let's not forget Miss. Brown Sugar...Lordy...Or Miss. Boob's...oops...I mean Hawaii...

Anonymous said...

What an awesome night of one-liners! Webbed feet, I think you should take your pants off, I'm a human pretzel, where's my boob?! You couldn't have dreamed of a better first night. Lovin' it! So glad we're back in the swing of things and that we have Lincee to look forward to every week.

Our Host Chris Harrison is SOOOOO HOT!!!

So, instead of trying to make the Bachelor remember their personalities and want to get to know them better, several girls decided their best bet was to show their weirdest feature? do they picture him in front of the pottery barn cabinet saying, "I really liked that other girl...but I want to know more about the one with webbed feet."

Anonymous said...

I don't know about anybody else...but I thought that the new bachelor was a TOTAL cheeser...until webbed feet. He could not get it together when he was talking about it...he was laughing too hard. That's when I decided he's not that bad.

ashley said...

Did anyone notice his strange neck movements after each of the girls met him? Also that reporter girl, total cheese, does she love blush or what?

Anonymous said...

I can't help it, I liked him... I really liked him! Despite him over-using the word WAY too much, he seemed truely genuine! He didn't seem cheesy to me at all - is it just me?

ashley said...

It was the women who were EXTREMELEY cheesey this time around. He did seem genuine and had to ackwardly respond to all the women's cheese flying around the room.I guess some would say he was being cheesey butI think he was just trying to be polite.

Anonymous said...

I loved the out-takes at the end with Melissa blubbering something inaudible and the bachelorettes looking very uncomfortable...I love the zoom in and fade out on the jim halpert face! Gotta love it!

Anonymous said...

The women were cheesy to the point of embarrassment! & is it just me or is the bachelor's selection getting uglier each season? I'm just sayin....

Anonymous said...

I wasn't sure about the bachelor until he busted up laughing about the webbed feet...it was so real! Did he keep webbed feet around for round 2?

Anonymous said...

Yes, webbed feet. Was looking at her feet so much, can't remember her face...what was her name?

Anonymous said...

A big moment for me last night was when the woman wound herself up into the pretzel pose and my husband declared, "Lincee is going to have a field day with this one!" Meanwhile, I was thinking, "Bless her heart!"
With Lincee starting her blog, can the promise of fall's cool air not be far behind?

Anonymous said...

Is it just me or does this show make you cringe? Some parts are so cheesy and disasterous that I kinda look away and shiver.

Anonymous said...

what was up with the girl singing the yellow rose of texas???

Anonymous said...

That was so NOT The Yellow Rose of Texas. I don't know what in the world she was singing. I was embarrassed for her, poor girl. Last night provided some great fodder for Lincee. I cannot wait for the recap!

Anonymous said...

Did poor little Yellow Rose of Texas make that song up herself? I think that totally deserves a bless her heart. Makes ole Tina singing the Star Spangled Banner look like a star! And what was with the "Signature Move" from Miss Webbed Feet? Does she think that works?? The whole, "I'm looking at you, you're looking at me" thing...where did she pick that move up and why has it manifested itself into her number one signature move??? It's like Guy Cheesy Pick Up Line #1!! Oh these poor girls. It's gonna be a GREAT season!!!!!!! Missed you Lincee - welcome back to us!

I love Brad. I think he's one of the more genuine bachelors they've had on the show. He's not fake or full of himself.

Anonymous said...

The "boob" thing was definately the best part of the show, with "webbed feet" a close second.

Anonymous said...

I don't mean to be antsy, but is Lincee going to do a recap of last night's show? Its the only reason I watch....

Jenny said...

Being a yellow rose of Texas myself, I can assure you that she butchered that song. Not just the melody (ouch) but the lyrics as well! Nothing made sense!! Anyways, I am checking this blog every 45 seconds waiting for the recap! "I'm the girl in the silver dress!" (Sticks butt out)

Anonymous said...

Lincee-Please hurry up and post...the suspense is killing me. I can only waste so much time at work...

SuzieQ said...

Okay, I'm from Jersey and even I know the lyrics and the melody to "Yellow Rose of Texas" better than that chick. I couldn't even figure out what the hell it was she was attempting to sing!

Anonymous said...

I'm right there with the rest of you.....I can't wait for an update from Lincee. Clearly, given the ginormous amount of material she has to cover from last night's train wreck, Lincee may need some extra time!!!

Anonymous said...

well i thought the YELLOW ROSE rendition was well done.

getting the correct words wasn't important, it was the thought that counts.

Anonymous said...

You're right, the correct words and melody weren't important, it was the thought. What was the thought? "Maybe if I act like an idiot he'll remember me?"

Who do you know that sings a song, shows their webbed feet, or twists like a pretzel on a first date to impress a guy?

Aimee said...

That was the best, best, best first episode yet. If only someone had fallen down! I'm not sure if I like this guy or not...He's attractive in a Party of Five way, but he sounds like he's reading everything he says off a cue card (very possible).

Post!!!

OK - from the straight canadian boy - that two finger lookin at you thing...who even thinks that would EVER work. I knew she was a goner even before the austin powers-esq "chloe with webbed toes" scene. Also, that song was horrific. Talk about awkward. "The yellow rose of texas.......blah blah blah blah blah ?????" And did anyone notice that Miss Anorexia still had the half full glass of wine attached to her hand during the ceremony. You know CH was topping her off just for the hope she'd open her mouth during the rose ceremony. Can't wait to see more.

Anonymous said...

Yes, this is my Canadian husbands (see above) favorite trainwreck to watch. After a dull finish to Big Brother, we needed something like this to start the fall off right!!! Although I have to believe that ABC eggs on all of these girls to do those stupid things. Like seriously? Who is the ABC worker that got the pretzel girl her black pants so she wouldn't show off her twat???

Anonymous said...

Oh, and wasn't the "signature move" from Meet the Fockers? The mean nurse? Wow, what a great move;)

Anonymous said...

Sorry, not Meet the Fockers, Happy Gilmore . . . (both Ben Stiller I think). . . .

Anonymous said...

How long did the evening last??? Did anyone else notice that the sun was up during the rose ceremony. After he kicked them off they were outside in the daylight. Does it usually last all night? Maybe that explains Melissa's behavior...

Anonymous said...

I especially loved it when the bachelor commented on how the pretzel thing was supposed to turn a guy on, but seeing that girl do it, well, basically ruined the fantasy for any guy who watched.

Anonymous said...

They had to have edited that rose ceremony. I suspect they drank all night, then had them get all re-dolled up the next morning (explains the swimming ho's dry hair) and pretend to be the same night...except the editing clearly showed that it was day time.

Anonymous said...

Yes, all night. CH actually commented on tape that at sun up Brad was going to have to make his decision on the first 15. ABC gives them no food and but of course alcohol all night. The rose ceremony supposedly takes hours alone with retakes etc.!!!

Anonymous said...

CH said "good morning" to the ladies prior to the rose ceremony, so they must have been up all night just to get the footage that was used. I can't remember -- was it night time when the ladies met Brad?

Can't wait for Lincee's recap!

SuzieQ said...

Two things:

1) what was the name of the pretzel girl?

2) Remember crazy Trish from the Jesse Palmer series? She did a radio interview here and said that the rose ceremony literally lasts about 8-10 hours which is why some girls are completely falling down drunk. It was like that with Prince "Chach" Renzy as well, that rose ceremony was held outside and you could see it was daylight.

I posted a blog today about something Chris said on National TV this morning - that got me a little upset.
