The Bachelor Recaps: This is a Test...

Tuesday, November 06, 2007

This is a Test...

It’s taken me so long to write this recap because I’ve been staring at a blank screen for eight hours. Seriously. I’ve been experiencing heart palpitations because I have no idea what to write. Was the show even an hour long last night?
Don’t get me wrong…I love my future husband Brad Womack, but there was some definite snooze moments last night.

I guess the only thing to do is bring back a popular format from last season and check to see if ANYONE was paying attention to last night’s episode.

It’s test time!

Everyone have their number two pencils ready?

Date One
Jenni Couric


What was Jenni’s reaction when she found out they were going to swim with dolphins?
A. SHUT UP!
B. I’m scared!
C. I don’t want to look like a weenie!
D. All of the above.

What best describes Jenni’s bathing bottoms?
A. Cheetah print
B. Junior’s Department sale rack
C. Tiny kitten with a pink bow on its head
D. Non existent

What was your favorite underwater shot during the dolphin date?
A. Jenni and Brad’s flailing legs mercifully treading water
B. Jenni’s butt cheeks straddling the dolphin
C. Jenni’s crotch
D. Close-up of Jenni’s crotch

Quote from Brad: “I would love to spend the night with Jenni and get to know her in that way.” What do you think “that way” means to Brad?
A. That way her tongue feels down his throat
B. That way her snores sound like a buzz saw
C. That way her breath smells in the morning
D. Bow-chicka-bow-bow

True or False
Brad: “I will respect you in the morning.”


What was the “something special” that Brad had for Jenni in his pocket?
A. Forgo card fantasy suite invitation
B. A rose
C. Mr. Happy
D. A picture of Grandma Betty…OPAH!

Which part made Brad “most excited” during his date?
A. Jenni feeling in his pocket for something special.
B. Jenni asking Brad if that was a forgo card in his pocket or was he just happy to see her?
C. Jenni discovering the forgo card and tossing it across the room without reading its contents.
D. We don’t truly know because ABC had to edit it out for the children. No matter how many boob/crotch shots we saw this episode, this isn’t Cinemax people.

Which part was MOST SCRIPTED during the date?
A. Brad and Jenni lounging on the bed.
B. Seeing up Jenni’s skirt as she lounged on the bed.
C. Brad kicking the camera out of the room so he and Jenni can get it on.


Date Two
Bettina

Which object did Bettina most resemble last night?
A. Barbie
B. Toothpick

True or False
You actually give a crap that the sail boat was used in the American Cup Race.

Which best describes the amount of fabric used to create Bettina’s swimsuit?
A. One yard
B. One foot
C. Six inches
D. Dental floss

Which word was NOT used to describe Bettina in the course of the night?
A. Hot
B. Super hot
C. Beautiful
D. Plump

True or False?
It was lame that ABC used the same fantasy suites for each date, but tried to fake us out with the million blinding candles.

Bettina should NOT have done the following:
A. Work her father into the conversation
B. Telling Brad that moving to Austin would be difficult for her family
C. Leaning AWAY from the kiss in the steamy hot tub. (It’s official. She’s on crack.)
D. Told Brad she was falling in love.


Date Three
DeAHnna


Which interjection did Bettina NOT shout to Brad as they were racing dune buggies?
A. EAT MY DUST TURKEY!
B. YOU’RE LOOKING GOOD IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR.
C. IF YOU NEED ME TO TEACH YOU HOW TO DRIVE, LET ME KNOW.
D. I refuse to be a weenie like Jenni Couric. He’s going down.

True or False:
DeAHnna: “In a normal relationship, you do spend the night and wake up together in each other’s arms.”

What did DeAHnna claim to know about her relationship with Brad?
A. I knew the minute I met you…it was right.
B. I knew there were crazy feelings when we kissed.
C. I knew when you left my house, you had my heart.
D. I knew that if I played my coy cards right, I’d be in the bottom two.

Who did Brad say he had a perfect night with?
A. Pick DeAHnna because that is the section we are on.
B. Jenni Couric
C. Bettina
D. Our host Chris Harrison


Rose Ceremony
Poor Brad is about to throw up. And that’s what I like about him. He compares his feelings with the weather…both tumultuous. (Take that SAT word Bettina’s Dad!)

He knows that someone is going to walk away with a broken heart. We all know that person is Bettina. Little Bets had no idea. I have to admit, I was on baited breathe myself. All the girls breathing heavily, including me and the ABC psychotherapist. It was a good 25 seconds before he called Jenni and another 14 before he called DeAHnna.

Brad walks Bets out to the courtyard. She says she is shocked. Brad says that this decision haunted him all day. Bettina decides that he didn’t pick her because it just wasn’t right and if he feels for Jenni and DeAHnna the way she feels for him, then so be it. Brad admits to the camera that it was just too much work. And true love should be easy.

Little waifish Bettina is handling herself well. She’s not crying. Her eyes are a bit watery, but that is to be expected. She tells her limo driver that she is still shocked and didn’t see it coming at all. I was so proud of her for not falling apart completely and then it happens. Look out below! F-bomb incoming!

Bettina: “It must be wonderful. Wonderful for him and the other girls. F-ing off the charts unbelievable. I can’t imagine putting myself out there again. I just fell in love with myself.”

And as I’m reaching for the remote to rewind to see what the heck Bettina just said, she repeats that she just fell in love with herself.

Interesting. I hope your other self brought a sandwich because girl needs to get some meat on those bones!

Bonus Question:
Who was NOT invited to Women Tell All that airs next week?
A. Bettina
B. Crazy Hillary
C. You
D. Me

Life’s too sweet to be bitter people.

All about the shame, not the fame,
Lincee

Worth the wait...'cuz last night wasn't.

So hopes he picks Jenni, just so I never have to see DeAHanna's blinking eyes again!

Anonymous said...

I waited all day for you Lincee ---Only one funny thing you missed. Brad used what cheesy line about both Jennie and DeAHnna?

A. I've waited for this night since the moment I met her.
B. I've been waiting for this night since the moment I met her.
C. This night is all I've been thinking about since the moment I met her.
D. It is completely obvious this is what we call the "test drive phase" of my dating experience here on the most popular love-finding-type-show EVER.

Bettina said "I just fell in love BY myself", not WITH myself.

I totally rewound it, too.

Anonymous said...

These things I'm sure of:
A. Bettina is STILL trying to figure out what an 'America's Cup Race' is...
B. DeAHnna says, "I'm falling in love with you" with the exact same intensity and emotional involvement as she would, "Yes, I'd love to supersize that order."...
C. Jenni may be the first 'First Impression' rose recipient to win it all.... and;
D. Riley and Aidan are going to be the best!

Unknown said...

"bow chicka bow bow" - major tee hees

My prediction: He will pick D.D. They are already broken up because he will quickly learn that D.Diddy has a mean streak. Jenni will be the next bachelorette, and it will be a great show. Remember, the greatest success of The Bachelor of all time was another little runner-up rockette, Trista.

What a yawner last night was...you did GREAT to pull that much out of it!

The real excitement is that YOU will be in the same room(studio) with THE HOT ONE next week...we're all rooting for you...he turns, spots you in the audience, your eyes will meet and he'll know...I'm just saying..he'll know YOU'RE THE ONE!!! ;)

Catherine Avril Morris said...

Great job recapping such a dull episode!

I dunno, I'm kinda hoping at this point that Lincee's Future Husband picks DeAHnna, because she's not quite as annoying and shallow and "heylookitme!!!" as Jenni Couric. But if he doesn't pick Miss Couric, boy, she's gonna be devastated...he keeps trying to tell her in every way possible, without coming right out and saying it, that she should open up to him because she's got Nothing To Worry About. Argh. Maybe he'll have an eleventh-hour change of heart and realize she's just a camera-grubber.

Did anyone else wonder where our lovely host, Chris was last night? McHottie had to host his own rose ceremony! Any scoop?

Anonymous said...

Yawn! I am awestruck that you can take such a BORING night and turn it into such a great recap! Very impressive!

Anonymous said...

Oh, MY GOD! I'm not saying I'm surprised on the outcome.. but.. I just KNEW Lincee would mention the
"Americas Cup" comment, yea really; who DOES care? That was a given! Noticed how DD's hair kept changing in each shot? First it was all blowing, misshapen.. then all the sudden it was sprayed into place. Rewind!! Its sooo obvious! Then how Bettina kept playing w/ her hair.. the WHOLE time.. twist, knot, twirl, push, push.. AAAGGGHHH! Even in the hot tub! Bless her heart! I'd never play w/ my hair so obnoxiously!
Even the date w/ Bett (like bUtt) and Brad was off-kilter, he just said its taking his breath away, but "OH NO, you don't fool us! Can't believe he even said it!!
Down to the bottom two~ Wonder if the procuders are just making us think its going to be Jenni???
Again, Love you Lincee!

Anonymous said...

I think he'll pick DeAnna. She may seem like a mean person, but she's not. I think she's just a little bitter. After all, her mom died. I think that's normal because I had the same thing happen and usually feel the same way. At least she's willing to move to Austin, rather than keep dancing on the Phoenix Suns!

Anonymous said...

I should have saved myself an hour (alright, less than an hour, ha!) and just waited for the recap...you were much more entertaining than the actual show.

Anonymous said...

There was one moment in those 45 minutes that I thought. Lincee can use that. I don't tape any shows so I couldn't rewind. I can't remember who did it even tonight. But someone almost forgot Brad's name it seemed to me. She paused so long then said "Brad" that it made me smile.

Anonymous said...

ooooh, women tell all...please come back and tell us all!! :)

great job as usual lincee...you truly are a talent.

Anonymous said...

Did anyone catch what Brad said in the preview for the final show? I think he said something like "I never thought it would end up like this". What did that mean? That he would actually fall in love? He should have kept Hillary becuase he really did love her? What? Any ideas?

Anonymous said...

It will definately be D.D. Guys may date a Phoenix Suns Dancer, but they don't marry them!

Anonymous said...

Great recap of a not-so great episode, you are truly amazing Lincee!

I can't remember anything exciting from last night...oh except the many times Brad took of his shirt...yes...that made the night bearable.

Anyone else notice the insane awkwardness between Bettina and Brad during the marachi singer? She looked scared to be standing so close to him...

Unknown said...

Anon 7:15 I totally agree with your DD comment.

I couldn't get over DD's lack of emotion when telling a guy she's falling in love with him, maybe she was reading a cue card...

Great recap on the most boring episode, Lincee.

Anonymous said...

What was ABC thinking? That was such a horribly boring show...although towards the end I thought he was going to keep Bets and DD and get rid of Jenni even though I've been a fan of Jenni's from the beginning. DD seems too perfect, and slightly fake...saying all the right things. Is she sincere? I'd say calculating is more like it. I'm sure she's a nice person.

I swear in the previews they made it seem like every girl said she loved him but Jenni didn't say that...but maybe I'm wrong.

I hope he picks Jenni...remember DD was on the website of Brad's bar last week and would ABC really allow that? Plus he did say she was the kind of girl he could marry so maybe ABC is just setting it up...

Anonymous said...

did anyone else notice the quite eccentric decor in the place that ddAHna and brad had dinner? there were little skeletons wearing clothes everywhere you looked. odd. lincee, another great recap as usual. can't wait to see you on the WTA!!!!

Anonymous said...

"I never thought it would end up like this" means he is picking DeeDee instead of Jenn-E whom he has had the hots for since day 1. Why? Because DD has more brains than Jenni (whom I do like)and Bettina put together. Besides, the rumour in AUSTIN is that DeeHanna was at Brad's bar in DISGUISE..!!!

Anonymous said...

Hey guys,

I could be wrong but I think Lincee meant she wasn't invited to the Women tell all, and all I can say is.......

ABC you suck! and if the next bachelor isn't hotter than hot and an amazing guy, I won't be watching the show again, but you know what I will be doing? reading Lincee's blog. You should of invited her you dumb as_es.

I'll try not to be bitter either Lincee.

Anonymous said...

DD was at brad's bar last week for halloween - it was on their website. But remember he did say DD was the perfect woman and he could see himself marrying her so maybe the surprise is he picked Jenni!!

Anonymous said...

I agree with anon 8:40...I think Lincee meant that she was NOT invited to the WTA. Bummer! ABC is making a HUGE mistake!

Anonymous said...

This is how I describe last night's episode, Brad goes to Cabo San Lucas, yadda, yadda, yadda, Bettina gets the boot while figuring out that she was "falling in love BY herself". Meanwhile our fair Brad is secretly patting himself on the back saying, "So Bettina's dad, if I'm so dumb, how did I convince your daughter to fall in love BY herself? Although I don't have a formal education, I hear that these things usually work better when two people are actually engaged in the relationship."

Well played, Brad, well played.

Even ABC knows that this episode is pretty much the same which is why they smartly chose to condense the show to 45 minutes, although while viewing it, I was fully convinced that show was on an hour and a half.

Anonymous said...

I've read rumors online that not only did Brad pick DD, but they GOT MARRIED already in Cabo. Guess we'll have to wait and see.......

Anonymous said...

Where can we see this picture of DeAHnna at Brad's bar?

Anonymous said...

I SO want him to pick Jenni - I know a lot of people are down on her, but I just think they seem to have a true connection - they genuinely seem to click. But I agree with one of the other posts - I am not sure he will pick her because she hasn't truly opened up. I have grown to like DeAhnna, but Jenni is still my favorite, and I think Brad likes her the most - but maybe DD offers the complete package - no long distance for a year with that choice. But that bums me out because I think jenni is much better for him...

LOVe this blog BTW. Just discovered it!

Anonymous said...

Jenni's voice gets more annoying every episode.

Anonymous said...

OK - to clarify a few things:

I read Lincee's comment about the WTA, that she was NOT invited. Which is BS by the way.

I actually saw the Brad's bar's myspace page when DD's pic was on there. The pic of DD was in a comment on his page from someone else, not a pic on the actual page. Some guy's profile pic was of him and DD in costume (DD was a slutty cop, no mask) at some bar, could be any bar on Halloween. That guy (presumably DD's friend, could even be a random Bachelor fan who ran into her) sent a comment saying 'hi from DD's friends in georgia' or something quick like that. It was just a comment, and it has since been removed. I didn't take it at all as though DD had been at Brad's bar. And...with all the legal mumbo-jumbo these 'contestants' and bachelor have to deal with, I highly doubt that they would take any chances by having her at Brad's bar with no mask before the final rose.

just sayin'...

Anonymous said...

America's Cup comment = the ABC Intern's end of the deal for scoring a free sailboat rental. The skipper probably wanted to be on TV, but since he wasn't, Brad had to name-drop. I bet if you google "America's Cup Boats Cabo" there is only one company that comes up. YES - WE CAN ALL GO SAIL ON THE SAME FAMOUS BOAT AS BRAD AND BETT!!

Anonymous said...

Ok, couple of things: the "little skeletons" as decor in the restaurant are part of Mexican culture, and indeed many are considered works of art, along the lines of kachinas in American Indian culture. Had the cameras done some clearer and closer shots you might have been able to see the workmanship and skill of the artists. (Might have been a good idea, with how boring DD was on the date....but I digress.)

Second: I think we didn't see Chris-man last night because the show was edited to fit into 45 minutes and they took out everything they could without leaving us completely stumped.

Third: the person who commented (earlier in the day, before Lincee blogged) that there might be a major clue to the winner based on the two camera shots of Brad with each of the girls over the rose pedestal might have hit on something! Think about it: the camera is going to be on the land side, overlooking the ocean, which means that for the ring to be easily photographed, the winner needs to stand on the right side of the screen, with Brad on the left. Jenni was photographed on the LEFT side of the screen (putting her ring finger away from the camera, hence hard to shoot), whereas DD is indeed on the right side of the screen, with Brad on the left, meaning that when he proposes, and places the ring on her finger, the camera (and photographer) can zoom in and get close to the ring and to his sliding the sucker on her paw.

Much as I'm in Jenni's corner, and think DD is very wooden, I agree with the post that based on the ring shot, it's DD, not Jenni. Crap.

Anonymous said...

And can I just say that while it seems Brad hit the three-for-three jackpot, there is SOMETHING about the guy that lets him off the horn-dog hook, whereas you'll recall in previous editions of the program we've been disgusted with other bachelors who've KISSED too many women in one day! WTH??

Anonymous said...

I find it refreshing that one of the final women is so 100% set to continue achieving her dreams instead of being so pathetically eager to drop her career, family and life after spending 6 weeks filming a reality tv show with some dude who is just going to dump her and ultimately end up with a supermodel. Go Jenni. I would almost say she is this season's resident feminist...except that her "career" is being a smiley, bouncy, glorified cheerleader. Pretty sad, but still!! At least she is doing what she's passionate about, people.

I think I do hope he picks DD, though I don't trust her. She has been engaged in that phony, full-scale turbo eyebatting since episode one. And it seems to work! And she sure sounds robotic when she reads her lines, I mean, tells Brad she is falling for him.

Bettina and Brad were so awkward together that this, coupled with her train wreck family visit, makes me shocked she was so surprised to be let go. Ten bucks says Brad told her in advance she was going (as he probably told other spurned ladies, as well) and she was encouraged to say all that stuff. It was sad, though, that she said she fell in love by herself. Seems to happen a lot on this show, and just displays the power of a manipulative reality show (and the blind raging desperation of certain single ladies).

I think that the bonus question indicates that Lincee was invited to WTA. The only other choice that could be who is NOT invited other than her is "you" and I don't think any of us were invited, so that would indicate that she is.

Anonymous said...

No -- I think she WAS invited to the WTA. There are 4 choices there...I don't think any of us were invited, so WE are the answer, not Lincee!

Anonymous said...

Did I miss it? Where did Lincee say that she was not invited to WTA? I thought her quiz question meant that WE weren't invited, not her. Now I'm so bummed! Can someone point me in the direction of her comment stating that she wasn't invited? Thanks!

...the show was short, dont cha think, because what a perfect promotion of "Who's Samantha"(whatever it's called)as we tune in at 9 sharp only to find it's Samantha NOT Hotter-than-crap-Brad till 9:15.

i used to think DD was devious. not sure now. she seems more genuine than b-4. what say you?

jenni is a cute little dancin' doll, but what has she got to offer conversation wise? notalotta. still hope she's the One.

DeAhnna ...S M I L E !
I'd totally be on her side if she would just smile at Brad at the rose ceremony. Stone Face....

Lincee:

Great recap. I can't believe you didn't mention the awkward singing moment during Brad and Bettina's date. The song was beautiful but the whole scene was a bit weird. The woman singing had such a funny look on her face I could not stop laughing!

Anonymous said...

I was shocked by how eager all of the women were ready to get "intimate" with the bachelor. Did he really sleep with all of them in a 3 day span??

I'm sure Bett's dad had a furrowed brow watching his daughter turn down the separate rooms option.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, last night pretty much sucked. I usually think the dates on the "dream date episode" are too long and drawn out, but I have to say, I kind of thought last night was lacking something due to the time crunch. I guess the grass is always greener.

I have tried to like Jenni, I really have, but I can't stand her. And, I think the biggest "connection" she and Brad have is in the crotchal region. Did you notice how Jenni said, at least three times, something along the lines of "when two people are REALLY REALLY attracted to each other ...?" Not, "when two people care about each other ..." or something of the like. I think they want to hit it and move on.

I have never had a problem with DD, and I hope she gets the guy in the end. I think he is the most honest down-to-earth bachelor yet. As for the next season(s), I heard that they asked Cosmo's most eligible bachelor to be on. I think they should bring back Charlie from the Trista season. Man did I love him!!!

Anonymous said...

I am slightly disilllusioned with HTC Brad. Saying what he said about Bettina and then sending her home?

I don't even like Bettina and I felt he should have taken a higher road.

When Brad is with Jenni - he just looks goofy and smitten. When he is with DD he is admiring her wit and confidence. But he doesn't seem goofy over her - kind of awkward still. Yet she seems more like wife material....

Hmmmm.....

Anonymous said...

Did you all notice how Brad back pedaled for a more PC comment. This is what I have been thinking about since I first met you, I mean since the first time we talked.

Brad you are not fooling us with that! You are a guy after all...

Tracy said...

1.) Host Chris needs to get on the phone and invite you out to Hollywooooooood again!

2.) I think Bettina said she just fell in love "by myself"...like she was the only one in the relationship that fell in love.

3.) Lincee...you're the best!

Anonymous said...

Gotta agree... holy boring episode batman! Total snooze-fest.

However... the one thing that truly surprised me was how ALL of them totally put it out there that they were hitting it in the fantasy suite. No coy moments, no flirting. Usually someone goes out of their way to say something like "lets talk all night". And yet, none of it was all that sexy to me.

I am thinking its DD and I like her. I think she's trying really hard to be real in this world that is completely created by the ABC intern. That has got to be hard!

I also like Jenni... in a fellow cheerleader, bubbly girl, I bet she's nice kind of way. I think she enjoys life. I think settling down with Brad is no where in her future, even if he picks her.

Bettina... good luck with the Daddy issues. I know a great guy here in So Cal I'd like to hook you up with. He's rich, he's handsome and he finished college. But he's just bad boy enough to make your Dad cringe.

I love that someone said DD & Brad already got hitched in Cabo. Now THAT would be a fantastic ending, for once!

Anonymous said...

i think dehanna - he fit w/ her family, and they acutally look like they go together. her voice is manly but she's pretty. he'll pick her b/c he is torn over how jenni will juggle the suns and him.
at least sheena is not there for him to worry about the stars too....

It was a SNOOZE! Not gonna lie, I was tired and almost drifted off during the rose ceremony! Where's the drama when you need it. Although Bettina's inner dialogue was rather amusing.

I mean I love this show, but like someone else said, your recap was much more entertaining. I'm hoping Brad's fam will be fun and entertaining. If they are as cute and down-to-earth as him, I can't wait! Love Austin!

I think DeHanna will win. She'll be able to take care of herself when he's home late.

Great Recap Lincee and I barely could watch it...so as alwasy...YOU ROCK!!

I think her question meant she IS going to the WTA! I certainly didn't get an invitation from ABC! haha

If Brad really knows what's good for him...he'll pick our girl Lincee!!!

Anonymous said...

Anon 9:23 AM - I actually think if he did pick her (DD)...she'd be at the bar w/ him! I get that feeling for some reason...I'm not letting you out of my sight or something. As strong as she appears, I think there may be some underlining possessive tendencies in that regard.

Anonymous said...

I've heard that they have to sign in their contracts that there is no $ex, but how would they know?! I mean, would they go confess the next morning and say, hey, I owe you a bazillion dollars for the score last night?! Whatever. No, I bet he didn't sleep with 3 girls in 3 days. HTC seems a bit better than that. But then again, he is a guy...

And ladies (and maybe a few gents), after reading Lincee's humor for years now, I would say that she was telling us she was bitter b/c of NOT getting invited to the WTA. I could be wrong, but don't think so.

And I was surprised that not too many have commented on DD's amazing blinking abilities. I kept telling her in my mine to just stare at the beautiful man! You don't have to blink so vigorously! Weird. But I think she'll be the "one." ABC has given Couric too much love the whole time for her to win. I'm just saying...

SuzieQ said...

Here's my thought regarding the previews of the proposal...when they show him with DeAHnna, he's looking down at her hands, not at her face which makes me think he's not picking her. Because when you feel bad, you tend to avoid eye contact. Just my thought! I know I've at least got a 50/50 shot at it, though! :)

Anonymous said...

If Brad actually picks DD, I think it will be because she's the kind of girl he's always wanted to want him: smart, aloof, beautiful; but I think Jenni is more of a long-term fit for him. DD isn't going to like the action at the bar with a now-famous Brad attracting attention. I agree if he picks DD, Jenni should be the new Bachelorette. She is not the most beautiful woman in the world, but she has a down-to-earth sense of humor, fun and drive that's appealing. If Brad watched the shows, and he DID pick DD, imagine how he feels....she bares the claws, man!

have a wonderful week, cant wait til next tuesday :)

Does any one know where Bettina got her dress?? I think it was amazing... unlike the whole episode. Thanks!

Anonymous said...

I know DD and she truly is a mean person. she didn't take brad back to her hometown of Newnan; she took him to Canton instead because she knew it was too risky to take him where everyone knew what she is. nothing that has come out of her mouth is true except her mother's death. she was arrested last year for serving alcohol to minors & has been trying to get onto any reality tv show she could, but that wasn't mentioned. (she almost made it on the Real World a couple of years ago). when she made the Bachelor, she deleted her Myspace page that was full of her drunk, compromising pictures. good luck Brad if you pick her. you'll need to disinfect yourself.

Let's look at the pattern, shall we?

Perky and Fun with Great Chemistry:

Sadie from the Prince Chach Season. Status: Runner up (Then, rumor has it she dated the prince after he dumped Jen)
Bevin from Dr. Baldwin's Season. Status: Runner up (Then, rumor has it she dated Andy after he dumped Tessa)
Jenni: By the typical Bachelor formula, it sounds like she'll be the runner up. Bummer.


The Boring and Aloof Dark Horses:

Jen from the Prince Chach Season. Status: Chosen, then dumped.
Tessa from Dr. Baldwin's Season. Status: Chosen, then dumped.
Things look good (and then, ultimately bad) for DD.
We'll see...but I'm still cheering for Jenni!

Michellyoh said...

Am I really the only one that caught the fact that Jenni didn't relax around the dolphins until she was able to dance with it? Or are we all so over her and her dancing that we just tried to block it out of our minds? What is with this girl? And by the way. . she may look like Katie Couric, but she sounds just like Audrina from "The Hills" when she talks. Which only reminds me of Justin Bobby, whom I can't stand! For that reason (along w/ her "So You Think You Can Dance" season long audition), she totally bugs!! I think Brad should just hang it up and come back home to Austin. But not without stopping in Houston and asking our dear sweet Lincee out for a date! Our Host Chris Harrison could be the best man at their wedding! And Hilary could be the Maid of Honor. When they have kids, crazy "harvested eggs" dr. can deliver the babies, and that chick from Dr. McHottie season can be their kindergarten teacher! This show really does bring people together!!

How did I become addicted to a Bachelor Blog? I am just some chick in Denver looking for a good time with loud gales of laughter. Look, I am like Brad with my weather needs.

Thanks you lovely lass. The one that makes me a fierce windstorm of giggles.

I second anon at 10:48am. I loved Bettina's dress. Any fashionistas out there who know where she got it? I've checked all my usual shopping sites - no luck!

Lincee--you're done it again--this week's short episode was so lame and we all knew Bets was going home, but your recap was still the highlight of my day. I love how you always catch the most subtle things like Best pulling away from Hotness in the hot tub--what WAS she thinking???

I hope he doesn't choose DD....she is a snarling witch! seriously, look how she treated the other women. Too bad Brad doesn't get to see the shows before he chooses.....he'd see that Jenni was above reproach the whole time, even when her character and intentions were attacked by the other girls.

Go Jenni.....all the happiness in the world with or without Brad. Actually, I hope he does choose DD because we all know how these relationships end and I'd hate to see Jenni have to deal with the eventual break up but DD kinda deserves it.

Anonymous said...

The only reason I think it's Jenni is because DD did not get a good edit during a few episodes. Even when she was one upping Jade on the two-on-one date and got the rose, she came off as really rude. I can't think of anything overly negative that has been shown about Jenni.

Great as usual Lincee, but PULEASE let us know whether or not you were invited to the WTA! I was under the impression that its a NO. WTF Chris?

Anyway- I don't have too much to say- other than DD needs to borrow Bev's spanx from last season- she looked major pregnant (new twist on the show--hee hee).
And Jenni's dress looked like she had made it or something (good catch Karen!)

Can't wait to see Hilary next week!!

Anonymous said...

I must be the only one that thought that DD looked pregnant at the rose ceremony?? Wasn't she really skinny in some of the first/pool party episodes??? Maybe she was just bloated from some contaminated Cabo water...

After listening to the radio interview that was posted above, the Tell All was taped last already, so I assume that Lincee was NOT there? If so, she'd better dish it up!

You are a brillant writer. Thanks for providing so much laughter week after week!

Okay for those who think that they've figured out who won based on editing, think again. Over the past three seasons, ABC has gotten a lot better about their editing.

fun in SF! where did you hear that Bevin dating Dr. Aushucks Andy rumor? I heard he was dating some Isreali model rumor, but not that one. This is off topic, but i read an interview that Bevin did somewhere and based on that I realized that maybe she did get more of the psycho girl edit.

Now back to Brad... I honestly have no idea who he is going to pick but based on the last two shows, he seems to have the most chemistry with DD.

Did anyone else catch where Chris Harrison said there was three more episodes left? The only reason I noticed it (I think) was because I was trying to figure out how there would be three episodes, unless they are breaking up the finale over two weeks..... Even with WTA, there should only be two episodes left, right?

P.S. for Dr. Andy, please try to stay safe during your deployment.....my prayers are with you.

Did you notice the knot that Bettina chose for her Rose Ceremony "hairstyle"? What was she thinking? It was a big mess!

3 more episodes: next week is WTA, then the girls go to meet HTC brad's family and then the final rose ceremony...

Anonymous said...

Here is my take: After being apart for 3 months most of the bachelor couples last for a couple of months and then break up. If he picks Jenni who already has a career out of state, they'll both be living their own lives while trying to make a long distance relationship work. She's independent and most guys want that in a woman. Jenni's always been a bit of a challenge because of her career and we all know men LOVE that. (Guys, am I right?) PLUS she didn't utter the L word.

DD has already professed her love for him and if he actually believed her he may be getting cold feet because they've only known each other several weeks (depending on how long taping actually is). Brad's 35 and he says he's looking to get married and have a family but he might just want to ease into it over a year than just jump into it right away.

I think he picks Jenni.

I also believe Lincee was saying she did NOT get invited to the WTA...she's not the type to brag and say..."nany nany boo boo, I got invited and you didn't...don't be bitter"...I AM TRULY SADDENED BY THIS HEINOUS ERROR...SERIOUSLY, THERE MUST BE SOMEONE FROM THE SHOW READING THIS BLOG...INVITE HER NOW OR ELSE!!!

Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear ---

Funny funny recap of an episode that went no where; except for T&A shots.

I miss having the winner having to sit through the awkward tell all show. Oh well, I am sure it will still be a hoot.

Have a great time with your future husband.

I haven't seen anyone comment on Brad asking Bettina about how her family would react to her moving to Austin - I mean, isn't she in So. Cal? Austin's closer to DC than California! Although I can't say I blamer her for wanting to be as far away from them as possible!

Anonymous said...

It surprises me that these girls that are real estate agents (I think Bettina and DD both are) are just willing to pick up their life and career and move to a completely different city! It takes a long time to get established somewhere as an agent and to just move for some guy...but I guess they are also banking (literally) on the fact that if they are on the Bachelor- that people will want to look for houses with them...just a thought...

dear, Elizabeth (10:25 pm)

I, too, am dying to find out who designed that dress. It was lovely and the color was so perfect. I've been googling and nothing.

Anyone found something>

Anonymous said...

I think the comment "I never thought it would end like this" and "watch as Brad follows his heart" means he doesn't pick either girl. I'm just sayin.....

anon 1:01pm -
thats what I was thinking too.... he doesnt pick either one!

Anonymous said...

Is it just me or does the part in DeAHnna's hair just drive you crazy?

Anonymous said...

I must be crazy because I liked Jenni's dress and didn't like Bettina's. I'm not a huge fan of ruffles. And so many people on this site are asking about Bettina's dress that I'm starting to think the designers are planting all these inquiries to drum up interest! :)

I'm with you! Loved Jenni's dress and hated Bettina's.

I guess those differences of opinion are what make the world interesting!

One of the funniest moments to me was during Brad and DeYAWNah's date:

Brad: I don't meet people like you much very (or something like that)

DeYAWNah: I don't meet people like you much very

Brad: Low, gutteral groaning sound (what WAS that?)

DeYAWNah: Low, gutteral groaning sound

It was like watching two Cavemen have a conversation :-)

Anonymous said...

I agree... I liked Jenni's dress, but I hate ruffles.

I keep wondering if maybe he doesn't pick either. They've given us NOTHING. No tease for the "most romantic" ending or "the most surprising". I guess you can't really tease "most boring"?

Anonymous said...

Even my daughter and I were bored to tears...Bettina is a Stepford wife, Jennie is a highschooler and God bless Deanna, the only one with spirit and passion!

Katie said...

I think Bettin said that she fell in love "by herself." She fell in love, but Brad didn't. So she did it by herself.

And, I loved her dress even though I thought she should get kicked off. Way to go down looking cute, Bettina!

GO JENNI! GO JENNI! GO JENNI!

If Brad chooses that other gal he's just denying his true feelings because he must be scared! His truest connection is with Jenni........it's undeniable!
