UPDATE: I'm here and loving it in Bogota. I know there is a little accent over the "a" in Bogota, but have no time to figure out how to insert it right now! Looks like I'll be watching the show late Tuesday and writing it Wednesday. Would watch at ABC online, but Internet connection here is very low. And by the way...they are on the CENTRUM SILVER season here! Can you believe it? Byron and Mary Mary. I can't even stomach it. How very sad.
I have a great story about a "minor mishap" in the airport that I'll share on my return. Until then,
Ciao from Colombia!
Boss: "What are you doing Monday and Tuesday?"
Lincee: "Watching the Bachelor."
Boss: "I need you to go to Colombia."
Lincee: "As in Ohio?"
Boss: "No. That would be Columbus. I need you in Colombia.
As in the country."
Lincee: [blank stare]
Boss: "Great. We'll talk about details later."

NOOOOOOO..!!!!!! Be safe in Columbia!
NO! You can't. Surely they show it in Columbia- I mean- why wouldn't they?
Be safe in Columbia-
Make sure you drink some good coffee!!! We'll be waiting with baited breath for your return!
I'm so jealous of your amazing travel op's. - I have no idea where you work, but are they hiring?????
Have a fun time and we'll look forward to reading your 'cap on your return!!
First of all folks,she's going to ColOmbia, not ColUmbia. As in the country...not one of the many Columbia cities here in the US.
I prayed for a safe trip!!

interesting...
Stay safe. We couldn't make it through the show without you.
Need your humor to digest the outcome.
Delay at all costs!
Google "Jenni Croft"....very interesting!!!!!!
Doesn't your boss realize you have loyal fans that need you? I'm assuming your boss is a man because of the inconsideration of taking you away from us during The Bachelor season. Hurry home! :)
I just googled Jenni Croft and am so disappointed to see she really is an actress and has appeared on MTV (she danced for P diddy) and Destiny's Child...I thought she was there to meet the man of her dreams but it looks like she's only there to further her career...
All I can say is: I LOVE it that you have the kind of boss whom you can ADMIT you're watching THE BACHELOR to! Not sure many of us can do that.
At least you can watch it online at the ABC site if you're having withdrawal - or just want to see the kicking to the curb ceremony to end all kicks to the curb.
Be safe.
Wow, looking at Jenni's site for the Suns, we find out she loves pink, and cannot spell or punctuate to save her life...
I didn't see anything in Jenni's profile on the Suns' site that made me think less of her. She says her goal is to find the man of her dreams and have a family...maybe she's going about it on national TV, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's in it only for the "fame." I still like her!
They have great (inexpensive) emeralds in Columbia! Just come back safely!
I'm here...I'm safe...coffee is flowing freely in the rainy season. Good times.
I agree with you too Anonymous 10:13.... I still like her!
Hurry Home Lincee, we need you more than Colombia does!!
Here's to the hystrionics of Hillary tonight!! Breathe!
Ladies, aren't we limiting ourselves (and Jenni) by suggesting that a woman can't possibly be on this show (whatever her profession) for true love AND take career into consideration? I fully agree that many do, but you can't fake chemistry (take it from me, I've tried) and it's clear for all to see that Jenni and the Bachelor have it in spades. Perhaps it's a pipe dream, but can't we try to think POSITIVE about her motives, rather than always looking for the NEGATIVE? I'm just saying.....
Glad you make it safely! Can't wait for the recap.
Amen ANON 12:44 PM! I love Jenni and they are HOT together!
Another AMEN for Anon 12:44
I am married with children now, but back in the day, I would have auditioned for the Bachelor. I happen to be a singer and an actress, but that doesn't mean that I didn't want to find true love. Some people may not have the right intentions, but you really can't judge that by a resume.
Just fyi.... there's a Columbia, TN...just south of Franklin, TN...just south of Nashville, TN... I'm just sayin'... it's pretty there, I'm just sayin' -
seriously...where do you work?
she's works for some oil company in Houston
Give Jenni a break. She seems quite genuine. I really don't think she's all career. Just because she happens to dance for a living doesn't mean she's not there to find a man. For the love of Pete--they only pick relatively hot people anyway, so all of them are secretly hoping they're the next Cover Girl. I like her. And here's to Silly-Hillary's upcoming melt down!
I can't believe Bettina said her one-on-one was boring!! I'm sure Kristy, Hillary or Jenni would have cherished a one-on-one date with him. I'm so glad the girls called her out on it! Go Jenni!
did anyone figure out what Hillary was saying when they bleeped her out for 5 mins straight?! we kept rewinding and playing trying to read her lips and we could only make out part of it. anyone?!
Anon 750 am - I swear a part of it was...he can bend me over! NO JOKE...she was talking about raunchy getting it on things there. I think they pieced it together kind of b/c at the end she says I'm trying to think of something g-rated?!?! makes no sense...she probably said that first and went screw it...he can have his way with me...and this is how! hahahaha I thought it was quite funny but I'm sure some parents if they are for some freaking reason watching it w/ their kids were like... uhoh..so much for family tv!!! hahaha
I expected more from Hil's melt-down. What a disappointment.
Buh-bye mustache-girl Kristy (FINALLY!!) - what a Debbie Downer.
I'm with team Jenni. Us Kansas girls gotta stick together!
And I think that's partly why they covered her mouth w/ a blur b/c she was saying some dirrty things! Who kows what they asked her to go that far off but can you blame the girl...that man is hot!!! But yeah...tone it down for tv.
I must say I thought much highly of him to come out and speak w/ her. He was trying to let her know it was just friends even at the pool and he was very classy about it in my opinion. I know...I KNOW...Lincee is so gonna comment on seeing the ABC intern run in the background to get Brad (probably) when Hillary started her sad rant. I'm almost betting on that!
Doesnt Bettina realize SHE is the reason her date was boring?!
Why is she acting like the virgin queen. What is her real problem?
Why didnt she kiss him when she had the chance? Just weird.
OH THE HUMANITY!!! I hate that you're not here to recap last night's episode. . but I'm sure it will be worth the wait! All I know is. . .sell crazy someplace else. . we're all stocked up here! I'm just sayin!!!
Hill's melt-down wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Her rant on what she'd like to have Brad do to her was more shocking to me. (I'm sure Mama & Papa Hillary were so proud to see that on national TV!) Kudos to Brad for trying to clue her in, but I don't think she would have gotten it even if he handed her a copy of "He's Just Not That Into You!"
In the previews for next week's episode, it appears that Bettina's family is pretty straight-laced, so I'm not surprised that she's acting so hinky about revealing her divorce and kissing Brad.
Count me in on Team Jenni! She called Bettina out, but in the nicest, non-confrontational way possible. But I would have like to see some of Jenni's conversation with Brad last night. I hope it is more than physical attraction.
Kuddos to Jenni too for the way she seemed to genuinely comfort Hill when she didn't get a rose. Go Jenni!
I'm calling Jen and Sheena for the final two --- Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde (aka Bettina) is the new 'craziest' on the row - and I just don't see the love-connection happening with DD at this point - feels forced.
leolak, I saw the abc intern running to get Brad too. Too funny. I even pointed it out to my DH. Can't wait to hear what Lincee says about it.
I agree that Hillary's meltdown was a bit disappointing. Her bleeped out PI was priceless though. I need to go back and rewatch that...
anon 10:59 AM - I KNOW RIGHT!?!?! I thought to myself...there was nowhere else for him to go around?!? dude hit the floor and crawl or something... I find it funny they didn't cut that out in post! They probably couldn't though since she was going on and on.
Be safe in Bogota, and come back soon!
It looks like I'm the only one on Bettina's side in Jenni v. Bettina. I read Bettina's "complaint" as her way of expressing jealousy in a non-threatening way -- putting herself down instead of putting down Sheena. Jenni saw it as an opportunity to attack Bettina and took it. What exactly are Bettina's "wrong reasons" supposed to be? And has anyone observed the completely different side of Bettina that Jenni refers to? I did miss an episode, so if you've seen it I'd like to know. Jenni on the other hand has revealed a nasty personality when Brad isn't looking.
In other news, Sheena looks 39 not 23 and has no chemistry with Brad.
That was me at 11:36. Just wanted to add, not that Bettina has any chemistry with Brad either. And it's obvious that Jenni does. And that Jenni may be a b*tch, but that's what makes her entertaining.
What is it about you KS girls? Everyone I've ever met from Kansas is ridiculously HOTT! Send some of that water to Colorado!
I hope Jenni is his final girl. She's my fav. Sheena- no chemistry and she seems kind of boring.
DD- She's seems very quiet, and too PC to actually show her true feelings on the show and;
Bettina- the new crazy. I hope she's booted next week.
Jenni- so fun, cute, and they really do have a connection! Go Jenni!!!!
Anon 11:36 - did you see the episode where Bettina called Jenni a slut and a liar when she found out that Jenni was the first to kiss Brad? That is when I first saw the crazy come out of Bettina.....
For you Bachelor-trivia addicts ... just out of curiousity, has the 'First Impression Rose' winner ever been the final woman standing? I'm torn between Jenni & Sheena, but I'm wondering if the rose is the kiss of death ... look who got it last season (crazy South Carolina girl)
I wish they had showed more conversation between Jenni and Brad too!! It was all about the physical side...but maybe that is what the editors WANT us to think...to sidetrack us and make us think its just physical...its pretty obvious he's into her and we've all thought she's a front runner so now maybe they're trying to convince us otherwise...?
Good question...I think that maybe Estella got the first impression rose back in the Bob days? I remember her tripping out of the limo and maybe got the pity first impression rose for that, and then ended up 'winning' but can't be sure.
Also, yes Anon 11:36, you must have missed last week - when Bettina called Jenni a slut and a liar just because she didn't kiss and tell. She also confronted Jenni about it and told her that she thought she wasn't there for the right reasons. Then she goes on to tell the cameras how she didn't expect to end up liking the guy. (HUH? So is Bettina herself saying that SHE didn't go on the show for the right reasons?) And as a sidebar, how often do we hear that on the Bachelor (She's not here for the right reasons!!) - just cracks me up.
Bottom line - Jenni rocks, she doesn't seem to be a back-stabber, she doesn't rub anything in, she doesn't kiss and tell.
And what about Sheena's mom! If I were Brad based on DNA alone I'd be scared. She is the ONE!! This quick view of the mom explains all you need to know about getting named Sheena. Can't wait to see the whole visit next week.
my rewind button got it's excercise last night between Hil's potty mouth at the pool and Sheena's fall. Did anyone else notice the horrible toilet paper/tooling around the staircase when she was walking down? horrible. anyway-in about the 20th rewind...play scenario of Hil at the pool she definitely mentioned him smacking her a** and several other obscenities that I will not write on here. however i'd love to see the transcript or undedited video (its not on you tube) on that one if anyone happens to fall upon it please post the link. i'm sure her parents were proud!
I checked out Jenni's Sun's site too. Even though I am a fan of hers, and think she will win, you would think they would be able to afford someone for spell check!
I think the reason why Hilary couldn't breathe last night is because her dress was so tight. She couldn't even get that thing zipped up all the way. My vote is for Jenni.
2:09 -- Too funny! Thanks for picking up the slack until Lincee returns!
I can't believe people aren't mentioning B-Rad playing with his toes while on the towel with DD. (I think it was DD). I immediately thought "Licee is going to have a field day with THAT!". He was awkward and fidgeting, even tried to stop once; but continued when he didn't get the kiss or know what to say next. Perhaps he has a foot fetish?
I meant Lincee. Sorry - typing fast trying not to get caught at work.
Amen Anon 2:09! I totally thought the same thing about Hill's dress not zipping up all the way and her girls flying out the top. Get a dress that fits already! If the zipper stops about an inch and a half from the top and your boobage makes you look like a 16th century damsel, WALK AWAY and go one size up!
And dear sweet Sheena with the wierdo hippie crazy mom - when you see 4 individuals playing string instruments, that's what we call a "Quartet", not a "small orchestra". I'm just sayin...
I have to say, I don't really blame Bettina for coming across slightly unappreciative of her 1-on-1 date. She got a boat ride. Sheena got a fairytale (complete with really really really REALLY expensive diamond earrings). If I was falling for someone and they took another girl out on a date that seemed to have that much more effort behind it (regardless of whether or not Brad or the intern had more to do with it in this case), I would be seeing green as well. I don't think it means she isn't there for the right reasons...although she does seem kind of nuts =P
Is it just me or does it seem like they are making a HUGE deal about Bettina's D-I-V-O-R-C-E. I mentioned to my Bachelor watch group that I sure hope that when they do her home visit they "accidentally" run into her ex. That wouldn't be awkward would it?
Oh and I really felt bad for Hillary. She made the show with the bleeped out part about him "ravishing" her and I think she said something about ripping her clothes off. TOOOO FUNNY...but after all the hype on her melt down, it was just sad. I bet she was watching at home last night and thought...oh...that's what he meant by we are such great friends....
Hey Anon at 7:03 PM-
I know its ColOmbia! I was JOKING with the fact that Lincee said to her boss, "as in Ohio?"
Geez, lighten up a little bit!
Miss you Lincee- return safely. We'll put you in rehab for the coffee addiction when you return!
Hmmmm...Jenni tried to take one of my friend's boyfriend home when she was a Cowboys Cheerleader. But I'm sure she's not the liar and slut that Bettina thinks she is.
Two things: what the devil is the big deal to admit a divorce, especially in this day and age? A reality of modern life -- you'd think these women were pulled from the set of Mad Men!
And as for Sheena complaining about her gondola date: if she REALLY likes the guy, the destination and activities on the date should be irrelevant -- in a house of six, she's damn lucky she got a one-on-one at all. That to me is an indication of someone not on the show for the right reasons.
I'm trying to remember if anyone ever cursed on any episode of the Bachelor to the extent Pill-Hill did last night? Honestly I don't think anyone has, either positive or negative. Not really an attractive attribute for an RN!!!
Anon 4:22 PM - that was Bettina who had the gondola (sp?) date...not Sheena... I know its easy to get all this chicks confused when they really aren't all that entertaining...well except for the ones that get sent home... hahaha
And I find it rather funny that Bettina would "complain" about her date (joking or not) when she talks about how these girls don't seem ready for marriage and aren't serious enough or whatever the crap she said the other week, but that you joke about? Miss no one is taking this seriously or mature for this. Oh you got nerve. I find that fake if you ask me. Just b/c you've been married before for all of what 2 years I think (I have to find that link I came across) then get divorced you some sort of expert?!? I think not. I find it interesting she's ready to get married again so fast...and yet on a realty show to boot. I'd keep my mouth shut and off my high horse if I were her.
Hey 4:22 -- instead of Pill-Hill, may I suggest Hill-Pilly. Rhymes with hillbilly, just like Charlene Darling on the Andy Griffith Show who wouldn't take "no" for an answer when she met her "future husband."
And 12:44 -- it isn't just ladies who get a kick out of this blog or uncomfortable watching the bachelor!!
I wonder why they didn't show any alone time with Kristy. I'm thinking Brad was honest with her at the pool party, just like he was with Hillary....only Kristy totally got it. So maybe they didn't bother to show it because it would have been boringly obvious Kristy was getting the boot. Maybe she was even happy to be leaving.
did everyone hear? chris harrison wants to be on dancing with the stars but says abc won't let him... let's start a write in campaign
First, did anyone notice poor, dear Brad's face the exact moment Hill said "I probably feel the same way you do..." followed immediately with a look of pure horror when she said "I think we can be lovers." Priceless and beautiful. I think there is no way Brad could have been more honest.
Second, did anyone else notice that horrible Bettina said she feels more deeply for Brad than any other man she's ever known. WHAT?! Shen's been married! Three weeks and she loves this man more than her former husband. Yeah right.
Third, I watched Sheena fall down the stairs with bf at least 12 times. Brad had a look on his face very akin to the "I just got shot" fact of Lee Harvey Oswald. It was genius.
Betting is evil and relatively stupid. Jenni rocks. I'm coming along on Sheen.
Did Centrum and Mary Mary ever tie the knot?!
5:24p -- Of course there must be males who watch this show (hell, Solisa lasted as long as she did for the T&A alone), but frankly I think many women who watch cringe at some of the dumbass things these women say to one another -- sort of like when Lincee buries her head in the pillow, to block out the "no, no, NO" stuff.
And I gotta say -- DD scares me, she's not honest and there's something about the way she LOOKS at everyone else -- gives me the creeps. [Insert "Psycho" bat sounds here.]
Go back and watch when Deanna and Brad had their one on one time on the pool date. When they get to the chairs they are sopping wet and when they hit the close-up of the two of then them are totally dry. Wonder if they really talked that long or if the show just made them dry off. LOL
Ok- so how come nobody has mentioned Sheena's AWFUL attempt at winning Brad with her poetry prowess? Not only does she find his moley arms and blonde tufts of ear hair "poetry worthy", but she presents it on a crumpled piece of paper freshly ripped from her spiral bound notebook! Seroiusly? I'm just sayin....
And a big shout out to our Awesome Host Chris Harrison. Thoughts and prayers to all those battling the wildfires.
"A small orchestra at the end of the pool!"
err.
Mississippi -- I totally agree! I guess the interns needed someone to bring on a poem. But it's always the psycho chick that recites a poem or worse -- brings a gift. I like Jenni, although she's being a little bratty. I wonder if we'll find out after the show that she's Katie Courics niece?
Check out this "Happy Birthday Sheena" video showing a montage of pictures of Sheena and her (ex?)boyfriend Josh. http://forums.jokersupdates.com/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=TheBachelor&Number=7396393&page=&view=&sb=5&o=
Am I the only one who can't get the ABC streaming video to work? HELP! My husband was watching football and canceled my taping! I still haven't seen this episode and I am dying to see what all y'all are talking about! What was he thinking??
Can't believe nobody has commented on DD saying "it makes my butt look good" about her dress. Seriously! Class right there.
I am so happy someone finally said something about Sheena's poem! I think she is the top resident crazy; she's just hiding it a little better than Bettina. She started CRYING when she met Other Brad, for heavens sake! Bettina showcased her crazy when she called Jenni a slut and a liar in her hysterical "you're kissing my future ex-husband" voice. And seriously, can't a girl be a model and an actress and fall in love? Go Jenni!
To Anon 8:00 am with the "Happy Birthday, Sheena" video -- whoa!! That creeped me out. So...what? She dumped her college boyfriend to go on The Bachelor and he's brokenhearted/getting back at her by making that video and posting it on the Bachelor forums? Oh-kay...
Why does Sheena look at least 10 years older than her stated age, anyway? Just askin.
I just watched the Happy B-day Sheena video - her ex is a super hottie & obvioiusly very sweet. He's got my vote for being the next Bachelor!
Please, someone clue me in. What's up with Mary Mary and what's his name??????
