The “Women Tell All” episode is always fun for me. For once, I don’t feel like I have to take extensive notes to remember all the juicy details. Instead, I just make a list of all the crazy things these media hungry girls say on national TV.
So I thought it would be fun to just write out…verbatim…what was in my notes.
WARNING: This might be a bit random.
- Seriously…the twin thing again?
- Our host Chris Harrison is so cute and witty.
- Hillary said that Brad is hotter than David Beckham.
Close...but not cigar. No one can mess with Becks.
- The word “b!tch” was uttered 14 times in that montage. Classy ladies!
- Someone said that Solisa is a slut. You think? Nice boob shot. Nice butt shot. Nice boob/butt shot. Nice body shot. Nice topless shot. Nice crotch shot.
- McNasty smells like a fish taco?
- Our host Chris Harrison asks McCracken if she was a bully. McCracken says that she and DDAHnna were just straight forward and mature. She then called someone a b!tch and turns to pout to her neighbor, realizes it is Hillary and sticks her tongue out at her.- Stephy tells McCracken, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say at all.” McCracken has to be smacked on the back of the head so her eyeballs return to the proper placement in her eye sockets.
- Sarah wants to know why McCracken was so rude to her. McCracken simply states, “I don’t want to be friends with you.” Sarah calls her a ho skank. Let’s take that phrase to the bank readers! You don’t get ho skank anymore! Spread it around!
- McCracken said that all Jade and Hillary did was talk about her and DDAHnna. She thanks the girls for wasting “air time” on them. SNAP!
- Our host Chris Harrison plays the b-roll footage of Hillary comparing Bettina to an old used car…one you have to kick to make sure it runs. Bettina smiles blankly. Hillary laughs like an idiot and says she was drunk. McCracken says that she should have said that comment to Bettina’s face. Hillary pulls McCracken’s hair and says, “I stayed a week longer than you beyotch” and follows up with something resembling, “Neener, neener , neener!”
And that was just the first five minutes.
I think there are 1.2 million candles on the set.
Hillary in the hot seat:
- She’s still an idiot.
- Thanks ABC for showing us the footage of Hillary talking about chemistry and how Brad could be her best friend, lover and husband.
- Look! There’s the fake wedding dress that is two sizes too small! Nothing like a good heaving moment and feeling your boobs under your chin. I think I just saw a nip!
- Our host Chris Harrison asks Bettina why she cried almost every time she was with Brad. Hillary answers, “I know! What was that about? They should have given me PMS medicine.” They? Who are they? PROOF ladies and gentleman that there is INDEED an ABC psychotherapist.
- Our host Chris Harrison also points out that the “f” word was thrown around a lot. Friend. (Oh Chris…you sly dog.) He wonders how she didn’t see that coming? Hillary wonders why Brad didn’t tell her at the pool party. CHRIS HARRISON CLASSIC LINE NUMBER ONE: “Uhm…I think he did. Other than writing a sky writer to say, ‘Hil…we are just friends.’ Let’s face it. Even if he did you’d probably think, ‘Oh! He’s proposing!”
THAT, my friends, is what we need more of on The Bachelor. Our host Chris Harrison shooting from the hip. He and I together? Golden. I’m waiting for my call ABC producers.
Bettina in the hot seat:
- Our host Chris Harrison talks about Bettina’s emotional journey and how she was the controversial one of the group
- The girls feel that she was totally different in front of Brad
- There’s her Stephen King Dad again…laughing at Brad’s empty brain
- Our host Chris Harrison brings up how she was jealous of Sheena’s date. Sheena says that she would have been happy sitting on a towel in the parking lot. Who doesn’t love this girl?
- Bettina admits that she was totally surprised she got a rose after watching hometown date. She knows that Brad felt judged, but quite frankly she says she was a little turned off by Brad. She felt he was attacking her family and defends their attitude toward him
Spoken like a girl who came in third place. LOVED Brad’s reaction back stage to that comment. I’m sure he’s feeling complete confidence that booting Bettina was the right thing to do.
What the crap question of the night:
Random audience member to Bettina: Was it uncomfortable being intimate with Brad on your overnight date?
Sheena in the hot seat:
- Sheena gets a kudos montage of her freaking out about wonder twin Chad’s lack of blond ear hair. Can we please, PLEASE, step away from the ear hair? If I hear the infamous poem…so help me…
- We also see a video montage of her falling down the stairs and ugly crying. She talks about jumping down a rabbit hole too. She does resemble Alice in Wonderland, but I’m not sure that was the analogy they were going for.
Wonder Twin Chad in the hot seat:
- Sweet wonder twin Chad talks about how he and his brother look nothing alike. He knows that Brad is the good looking one. Did you not want to pick him up and rock him back and forth and call him your own? Just me?
- Our host Chris talks about the girls who had no idea he was a twin. Mainly fetus Sarah and other fetus Lindsey. Both claimed that they just trusted he was who he said he was. Poor Lindsey was confused as to why he was shorter.
- Wonder twin Chad said that Sheena exudes class. He said when you are genuine, you can’t hide it. All together now…AWWWWWWWWWWW!
Brad in the hot seat:
- He’s hotter than crap.
- Question from Hillary: “Obviously watching the show, I got it that we were just friends. I wish you were little bit more jugular…you were skirting around the issue. CHRIS HARRISON CLASSIC LINE NUMBER TWO: “Maybe you could have sported a tattoo that says Just Friends?” Hotter than crap Brad responds, “I do love you to death. I think more highly of you than you realize.” Not sure that was the appropriate answer for the psycho hyperventilating chick Brad. What’s that number again? The one for the restraining order store? You might want to put that on speed dial.
- Question from Bettina: “I know you felt judged by family. So why the heck did you give me a rose?” Hotter than crap Brad responds: “Because of you not your family.”
Seriously? Could he be more perfect? (Read like Chandler Bing.)
Bachelorettes Gone Wild reel:
- Solisa says she is shy. Video reveals that she might be for hire. Nice pole.
- In a brilliant move that will forever be one of the best WTA moments in Bachelor history, ABC chooses to show the Hillary “X-Rated” voice over of how she plans to have the Bachelor ravish her. Eighteen seconds of constant beeps and mouth blurs. The camera cuts from the b-roll, to an embarrassed Hillary, to a blushing Brad, back to snickering Chris, a laughing Hillary, b-roll still playing, back to uncomfortable Brad, on to Chris looking at his watch and back to b-roll. CHRIS HARRISON CLASSIC LINE NUMBER THREE: (Uncomfortable pause for effect) “Do you want to rethink your decision?”
YES! HE NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER PART OF THIS SHOW! YOU CAN’T TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO COME UP WITH ZINGERS LIKE THAT!
Our host Chris looks at Brad and says, “You can’t tell us how this ends, but can you tell us if you are happy?”
Brad answers, “Absolutely not a single regret. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.”
Such a southern gentleman. Swoon!
ABC thinks we are idiots, and play a reel from two years ago about what the next Bachelor needs to be. I was not fooled. Lots of past season girls saying things like, “Hot!” and “Rich!” and “Funny!” mixed in with current girls from this season.
Our final video montages are two quick clips about both Jenni and DDAHnna. Here’s what our hotter than crap Bachelor had to say about both:
Jenni: She is an incredible woman who loves life. She’s always smiling and I can’t keep my hands off of her. From day one I was very attracted.
DDAH: She blew me away. She’s the whole package…beautiful, intelligent and independent. She’s made it through tough circumstances in her life and I admire her strength. She makes me want to be a stronger person. She’s a strong southern girl with values.
A quick vote from our panel of booted Bachelorettes, and we find the score pretty even. Six think Jenni is the winner and five believe DDAHnna will get the ring.
What do I think? Tough to say. He’s constantly talks about following his heart. And his description of DDAHnna seemed very heart-felt. His thoughts on Jenni seem to be very physical.
This could be the power of ABC editing as well. They choose what we hear and see.
I’d like to believe he doesn’t pick either because he reads http://www.thebachelorrecaps.com/ and has fallen head over heels in love with me and my witty banter.
Hey…it could happen.
All about the shame, not the fame,
Lincee

I thought Brad's answer about following his heart made it sound like he didn't pick either girl.
I love that randomness! I think I laughed more at this recap than any before, though it is a close call!
I don't think he'll stay with either but he'll pick Dddahhannna.
This is what I get out of bed for on Tuesday mornings! Loved your Chandelr reference, there needs to be a show as great as Friends again sometime in the near future! Also, love Chris Harrison, he does have some zingers!
And my money is on Jenni next week! Loved the recap, as always!
Do any of you remember when Jenni commented on one of the early episodes that she thought DeAHna was the type of girl Brad would be attracted to? It is still hard for me to see him with either of these women long term unless DeAHna turns out to be just a great person which is really not evident from ABC editing. Thanks for a great recap Lincee!
Please tell me, did anyone see Jenni dancing to her IPOD in front of the mirror when the end credits were rolling? What was that about? I really liked her until I saw that!
yeah, strange.
Lincee, Great job on the recap but NO MENTION OF BUTTINA'S DESCRIPTION OF THE PEFRECT BACHELOR?
"He's really good looking at well educated!"
Seriously? Skank Ho!
Jenni's a dancer. So why would it seem strange that she dances in her room with her iPod? I think it's odd that ABC chose to air that, but I don't think it was weird for a dancer to be dancing. . .
Really missed the human pretzel and web-foot girl last night. Felt like they spent too much time on Hillary and missed reviewing some other highlights of the season.
I wondered while watching the show last night if you would attempt to count all of the candles on the set! But I think you hit the nail on the head with 1.2 million!
It was obvious to me that ABC had Jenni dance in front of the mirror. Didn't you catch the very end when she said "That's it, I'm done!" They had to have asked her to do it.
Anyway, HTC Brad is still hot and I too took from his answer to Chris that he didn't pick either girl. That would be weird....I hope he picks DD, but I have a feeling he sends both packin'.....
And one more thought....why can't we have a WTA show, the final rose ceremony and then an After The Final Rose show? Every year it is either a WTA or an ATFR show....don't get it....we want to know what's going on after the final rose too....maybe the didn't do it because he didn't pick either girl!
We shall see......
Lincee - please start blogging other shows. I'm so sad that the bachelor is ending and that the blog will be on hold until the next round! My gut says D is the big winner - but I really wish I had a third option.
I'm guessing that Deanna will get the final rose because last week, he referred to her as a soulmate. He has good chemistry with both, and they both seemed like the front-runners to me from very early on. We'll find out soon enough.
I am stumped!
He has much more chemistry with Jenni, but maybe not much beyond that.
He seems to see himself with a strong southern girl like DD, but maybe not actually her.
Lincee- I MET BRAD THIS WEEKEND---Yep, at one of his bars...and after Tech's big loss this weekend I was drunk enough to ask him to take a picture with me. I wish I knew how to post it on here...I'll work on it. But he has nice, JUST as hot in person. And I gave him my two cents and told him I hoped he picked DeHanna! Swoon. EP
Hi Lincee. Love your blog. I found it a few weeks ago after missing an ep and realized that your recaps can be better than the real thing (this has been one of the most boring seasons). Two thumbs up really.
I loved that they had Sheena in the hot seat when they brought out "Brad". I was confused for a sec because they ususally have the most recently gilted girl in the seat. But then the twin was forced out and it made sense.
Anon 11:20 AM:
There is almost always a WTA from my experience (don't really remember a season without but it may have been one of the seasons that I boycotted). The only time the don't have an ATFR is if the couple didn't make it to the air date of the final episode.

Great recap Lincee as always...
Bettina played the victim last night. For her to say she didn't like how Brad treated her family was completely bizarre. My take is that she needed to mend things with her family, so she went after Brad on national tv. And then her comment that the next bachelor needed to be "well educated". So why was she attracted to him in the first place if education is such a big thing????
Here it is!!
My run in with Brad- documented with a pic---(ignore the drunk girl-me-on the left)
http://bradanderin.shutterfly.com/action/?a=2EZtWjNqzYshO
oops- got excited and forgot the link.
Ladies,
I am a Media Buyer and wanted to let you all know that the "ATR" will air on Tuesday, 11/20 9-10p.
Was the "well educated" comment Bettina's sarcasm or is she just that mean?
Loved Sheena even more after last night. Maybe he will not pick either one and then start seeing Sheena... Probably not, but it would be nice. He did say it was about the girl not the family so I am sure he could get pass Sheena's crazy mom.
Loved Chris Harrison last night. Miss his wittiness.
He might pick one of them. BUT... I live in Austin and rumor around town is that he is back with his ex that broke up with him before he went on The Bachelor. And also that he proposed and she said no. So, they're just dating.
yeah, I've heard that too (about the ex)....but hoping for a happy ending.
Did anyone else thing that Bettina looked ten times better last night than she did throughout the season. Like maybe she gained a few needed pounds and her hair was nice and healthy looking.
I think he looks like Patrick Swayze in that picture that girl posted...
Funniest recap to date - seriously - I could not stop laughing and literally had tears in my eyes. WAY better than the actual show. I wish you would start recapping other shows like the office, grey's, desperate housewives...
My guess was on Jenni but now who knows with all the rumors going around!
Although you would think he'd be required to refrain from any dating until the final show otherwise he could risk a lawsuit...I'm just sayin...
Jenni dancing at the end was just stupid!
I really think that he doesn't pick either girl! I thought it last week, but this week WTA i think confirmed it! If ABC does this to us again, i am going to be pissed! When Jen Scheft did it, it made it such a let down in the end. Even if he picks one of them and then breaks up with them later, it is better, becasue we have all come to expect that to happen anyway...
I agree the Jenni dancing at the end was stupid! I do that too, but i wouldn't go on national TV and publicize it!
anon 12:25- Bettina is just mean, not to mention full of herself- I couldn't believe she stuck that "well educated" crap line in there. The way she talks, she must have her PHD by now! If that is what is most important to her, then she should have left the first night, not proclaim her love on the second date!
Did Sarah really say "ho skank" when she was talking to McCracken last night? I thought she said, "You little skank," but ho skank is way funnier.
My vote is for Deanna, but I agree with whomever said he should tell them both to get lost and choose Sheena. I heart her.
EP -
What was Brad's reaction when you told him you hoped he picked DD??
Thanks for the photo - he definitely isn't hard on the eyes.
OMG...GOOD CATCH on the old footage of girls from two years ago in the Next Bachelor talk...soooo caught that too!
Again...you ROCK as usual and I didn't even see all of it yet. I caught the part when Brad was in the hot seat and so forth....yes he is hotter than crap..and more real than any other bachelor they've had all combined into one!
Can't wait to see what his reaction was to Bettina defending her family...I shall enjoy much more now having read your blog first!
Keep it up - and I'll keep my fingers crossed that he chose you...although I of course would wish it were I as well. hahaha
Anon 11:04 AM - I think that was ABC producer mess there...they had to set that up on her and asked her to do that.
While I'm not against getting down and grooving to some awesome music in my own place of residence hahaha...I don't stand in front of the mirror...they had to ask her to do that so they could use it later. Editing setup people...it's what they do!
Of course, if you give it to them (even if they ask) they are gonna use it if it's good for their cause.
Okay, maybe none of you will agree with me, but I (and I'm being totally serious) loved Hillary last night. So she might be the funniest psycho stalker/"friend" ever! Did anyone else think that she sort of redeemed herself last night? Okay, okay, I know that she is still fruitloops, but I honestly couldn't get enough of her last night. It was so fun watching her watch herself being psycho. Seriously, she is a funny girl. Bitchina still is Bitchina...and I have no idea who he will pick. ABC, I'm stumped again!
I thought Hillary redeemed herself last night, too! I found myself almost liking her! I think she nailed it when she said she falls hard and fast. I think love can make ya crazy and it definitely caused her to lose a few brain cells.
Did anyone else see in the previews how they showed Brad "arguing" or calling someone out? Something about "that was between me and you" or something like that. But they never showed it last night.
I heart Sheena, too!
If any group of women wanted to reinforce their collective image as foul-mouthed witches, this collection last night surely succeeded. I had forgotten how virtually all of the last 15 (including DD) trash-talked one another constantly (what difference does it make whether it's to the face or behind the back? it's toxic either way!) and the rare exception was Jenni -- I don't remember hearing any trash out of her mouth, except when she confronted Bettina about her date. There's an old fashioned term for that group: fish-monger wives!
Until his comments last night, I was sure Brad was choosing Jenni. The connection with DeAHna seems stronger (and less lust-based) than the Jenni/Brad connection. But now I'm not sure, and wondering if maybe he doesn't choose either woman! There was just something about the exchange with Chris, the looks he and Chris shared -- the only thing is, I think the honchos of the show would be playing everything much lower key if such were the case.
Maybe Sheena's "going down the rabbit hole" comment was about Brad's hometown visit (he must have thought that's where he was, talking to her mom!)
Actually I didn't think the audience question was a "what the crap" because she asked it as, how do you feel about being on an overnite with Brad the same night he is with the other two?" Which, frankly,I always think is the skankiest part of the show.
Finally, I am getting the impression also that maybe he does not pick either. And I don't think it matters which side they stand on. Didn't Bevin stand with her left hand closest to the camera? Also, Bevin said she knew right away b/c she was in the second limo. In the previews Jenni is walking up with a big smile, Deanna not so much.
Anway, thanks for another great season, Lincee!
there is no one hotter than becks!
Soo...when I did advise Brad to pick DeHanna on Saturday...all he said was that, "she is a nice girl"...boo...but then, can we blame him for not spilling it to a crazy girl in a bar? Still loved him.
EP
I agree with Annon 12:25. I think he picks neither Jenni or DeAnna. I think he picks Sheena in the end. There was too much sweetness between Chad and Sheena last night...I think Brad will listen to his brother and go back to her...just a thought
Sheena said in her interview after being booted from the show that she has a boyfriend. Also, Brad was never attracted to Sheena, and said over and over during the show that he chose her for the 1:1 and hometown dates because Chad had liked her, and he wanted to give her a chance because of that. Brad, though, did not find her attractive as a mate. I thinked her really liked her and respected her, though.
I think he picks DeAnna in the end, but he's being so low-key about the ending that it wouldn't surprise me if they're already broken up.
FINALLY! All I have been able to think about since last night is who Bettina's dad reminds me of - Stephen King - Thank you, Lincee! Is it me or does that kind of stuff bother everyone? Also, my friend pointed out today that the lighting on the show last night was mighty kind - I wonder if I could get some lights like that in my house...hmmm...
My money is on Deanna, but I don't think it will be a lasting relationship. Perhaps it's just the way the show is edited but she seems to have no personality whatsoever; I find it hard to discern what Brad is drawn to in her. Maybe her excessive blinking?
Hillary doesn't strike me as psycho or stalker-ish; rather, she seems like someone who is a nice enough person, but very attention-seeking. Maybe even bipolar. Something in her overly animated facial expressions and body language strikes me as manic.
Not to be catty, of course, but did anyone else think Jade's hairstyle resembled a bad home perm?
I also loved Hillary last night- I thought she did the best she could with the situation, and she was funny... not to mention that she looked very pretty.
I went back and watched the video of the hometown dates and seriously does Jenni sound like a child to anyone else? Drove me nuts. I like Dehanna. And I also think that Bettina and her family fell victim to some bad editing. The part where her step mom says to clear the table, you can tell imediately before she said that they asked her what to do and she said it once and they repeated it back so she said it again a little more forceful. There were several times during that date I felt like more was being said and maybe her family wasnt being as rude as ABC made it seem.
so glad you mentioned chris harrison's comment about hillary interpreting a "just friends" sky writer as a proposal. that was a priceless moment!
12:45-I thought Bettina looked really pretty last night as well. She did look less anorexic and her hair did look healthier.
2:12 - I am sooo glad you brought that up! I thought I was crazy because noone else ever mentioned it, in all the comments on this blog site or any other I read about the bachelor show. It was about half way through the season when they were promoting the next week's episode it did show some kind of argument snippet between Brad & one of the girls, but I couldn't tell who. I remember this vividly because I made that sound you make when something just crazy happens right before your eyes...kinda like Scooby Dooish "oooohhhh" in a high pitch...Anyway, I was so looking forward to seeing what that was all about and they NEVER showed anything. I thought they would say something about it last night, but again, nothing! I wish I knew....
Someone probably posted this already, but if you live in the LA area, you can be in the audience for the After the Final Rose show, which will be taped THIS FRIDAY!!! Lincee--you NEED to be there!!! Go to the ABC Bachelor site--it's in a box on the left.
The comment in the previews that has me wondering if he chooses nobody is when he's talking to DeHANNA and says "remember when I told you when I commit, I commit for the rest of my life?" (or something like that...) I can't imagine that would lead to... "and so I'm choosing someone else..." Of course, ABC is all over the editing, but....I'm just SAYING
That's Ms. Chanandeler Bong!
If Sheena's family is a victim of bad editing...what about Bettina's family? If you are from a family that highly values education...and you are analytical in nature...you would be not doing your duty as a parent to not ask some of the questions they posed. Frankly, this whole bachelor thing has lacked chemistry between Brad and ANY of the ladies. But remember, there is no business like SHOW business...and only on a television show would women be turned on by having a guy pick them...after repeatedly stating how "hot" some of the other options are! So why am I still watching? I must be sick!
Am I the only one that would LOVE LOVE LOVE for the next Bachelorette to be Hillary?! She is one funny chick. I love it that she just runs at the mouth, because what she says IS witty and funny- she'd be a hoot to watch.
First of all, when they started showing that bleeping clip of Hilary, I started laughing like a lunatic because I thought about Lincee's "Straight now tell me post." I laughed so hard I almost cried.
AND in the was just me category....
The edited 25 second clip of ladies from the previous season really emphasized just how boring and unoriginal this group was. Blah!
If they are casting another Bachelorette, my vote is still for Sadie.
My favorite part of last night was Hillary watching herself getting bleeped and blurred. It was actually the first time I saw the clip, because i skipped the episode and went right to the recap, and I cackled like a witch the entire time. Adding in a shot of Brad's reaction with Hillary was priceless. I had to rewind four times to read her lips and it was hilarious!
I think he picks Dehanna, but I figure they've already broken up and he's moved on. His comment was not "i'm so in love!", it was "i was true to myself". argh!
Oh, I so wish for the *first time ever in Bachelor history* (can't you just hear Chris Harrison saying that?) our beautiful Bachelor would choose to pass on the two girls left standing and say he'd made a big mistake--and choose Sheena??!
And then they'd bring her up on the podium/wedding altar and they'd embrace and her mom would come in crying saying it "was in the stars" lol.
I just don't think he's going to pick either of the remaining two. Somethin' just ain't right there.
Maybe i am too naive to believe this...but on the overnight dates...does the guy actually sleep with the women????? Is that soemthing they "have" to do and it's on their contract? If that is the case, then this is one sick show!
I agree with the post that mentioned how Jenni NEVER trash talked anyone else. Even when she approached Bettina about her comment she handled it with grace, dignity and honesty. I've liked Jenni from the first episode. I love that she and Brad have such chemistry. It reminds me of me and my husband and we've been married for 10+ years and are still madly in love.
I personally think that many women don't like Jenni because Jenni is everything that most of us will never be. She is drop dead gorgeous. She is confident in her own skin. She's adventurous. She has a passion and isn't afraid to pursue that passion, not to mention that she'd extrememly good at it. Let's face it, women are prone to hating other women who seem to have it all when we don't. I'm just saying.....jealousy is an ugly monster.
"I’d like to believe he doesn’t pick either because he reads http://www.thebachelorrecaps.com/ and has fallen head over heels in love with me and my witty banter."
I loved that comment, absolutely hilarious!
Anon 10:56 I have to agree with you. Something in my gut tells me he doesn't pick either. And you know...my gut tells me alot when it comes to the bachelor...or something like that...
i agree with many others that he does not choose either girl...
and is everyone forgetting TRAVIS?? the doctor from nashville?? he was by far the hottest and most down to earth bachelor...there is no topping him!
love the recaps :)
Regarding Brad not picking either girl, it totally makes sense because ABC shows the two girls in the end and in DD's shots it is def darker...thus she's in the last limo...unless they do the whole switch-a-roo again.
I'm on the Sheena train as well!
i loved the chris harrison comment when someone (i think the audience member) asked was it awkward about the overnight date, he said "don't look at me I was not there". I really missed him last week!!! but, he totally made up for it last night.
Anon 8:09pm I totally agree with you. Jenni may look like Mary Catherine Gallegar Couric and may laugh a lot and may dance all the time but she was honest from the beginning, classy and has amazing chemistry with hotter than crap Brad. I hope he picks her and they're just having a long distance romance right now.
My vote is for Hillary for next Bachelorette - she is hilarious!
Lincee so glad you're stil blogging and not on strike.
his face looks tense when he's talking to dehanna next week, and very relaxed when he's talking to jenni.
I think DD looks nervous but Jenni looks ecstatic. I think that says a lot about who he will pick. I think once the girls start walking towards him they know.
My prediction:
He picks DDahhnna, and they reveal that Jenni is the next bachelorette.
Even though I'd rather it be Hillary (as the next bachelorette)
So if they are having the After the Final Rose Show, wouldn't it make sense that he picked someone? What would they talk about for an hour... how Brad chose neither girl?
I love Jenni, but she would be a good Bachelorette... It is time to bring back the Bachelorette!
your banter has become progressively less witty as you have realized you have a fanbase - please remedy this
Great recap Lincee!!
Did anyone else get uncomfortable when Sheena and Chad saw each other again? There were sparks flying between them! She kept touching his arm and knee, it was strange. He is a married man after all!
I squirmed a lot during this show... I always do. Its so uncomfortable. These ladies held nothing back! But it was also edited out the wahzoo! And rough cuts too, so it left you wondering what they REALLY said.
I totally believe that Brad didn't pick either one of them. I just think it wasn't 100% connection for him. He followed his heart... and was true to himself. I just hope both ladies take it well, if thats what happened. I think they will... both seem strong and independent. And we all know how swept away these women get!
If you read other bachelor blogs... check out KateBrockhouse.blogspot.com
I think Solisa commented a lot there and told us some things that didn't make air. Its in the comments section of Kate's latest post. Very interesting....
Hiliary is the equivalent of Bachelor Bob, so please no, no bachlorette hiliary!!
anon 1:52: Are you actually Bettina's father? I sense the same tone in your comment. . .
I noticed that also--that he didn't say anything how happy "we are together" or that "I am in love" etc. It was a crafty answer, making me think he's glad for the experience, but didn't come away with love. Tear...
What makes this season the best bachelor season ever?
1. Hotter than crap Brad.
2. Lincee's witty banter, which will of course make the bachelor fall madly in love with her.
3. The fact that there was a WTA and will be an ATR in one season. How long has it been since that happened?
4. Hotter than crap Brad.
5. Hotter than crap Brad's adorable hotter than crap twin, Chad. How sweet is this guy? If this is what Texas men are like, I'm packing my bags y'all.
6. The witt of our beloved Chris Harrison.
Swoon.
This was by far the best WTA in Bachelor history...loved the continuing cat fights!!
I got the feeling that maybe he doesn't want to pick either one, but you know ABC will not allow that to happen. I think he'll pick DD, but not sure it'll last.
As usual...great recap!!
Brad was on the radio this morning in Austin and the DJs asked him if he would do it all over again. His reply was, "in a one word answer, no." I thought it was a very interesting response. Surely if he had fallen in love and was still with the girl he picked his answer would have been yes. Makes me agree with a lot of the comments that he doesn't pick either one. Good news for our girl Lincee though!
Brad has me stumped. Or should I say, ABC has me stumped. His comments really seem like he is not in love and not with the woman of his dreams, but I have no idea what that means for the next episode. We'll have to wait and see.
I agree, Chris Harrison is one of the BEST parts of the show, but they don't let him be himself! In previous seasons, they show "outtakes" of him and his crazy wit and I think, "He's hilarious! Why don't they let him be hilarious?" But Mon night we got a taste of the real Chris. Love him.
On another note, Lincee, total greatness as usual. You crack me up, girl! As for Anon 1:52, you are full of complete crap. Not sure what that comment was about, but you must have stayed up way too late and lost your mind.
anon 1:52am: Instead of telling Lincee how she should "improve" her writing, just get the he!! off this blog. Or start your own....ho skank.
I agree with 10:56 AM....I am thinking he didn't pick either of them. I would rather it be Jenni over DeAHna....but I think both are too immature for him. I would have liked to see him pick Sheena...even though her mom was a nut!! Sheena was the only one with class and maturity....
What the hell kind of comment is that anon 1:52am? This recap was the funniest yet and if you think its so dull then stop reading it.
Julie,
Do you have a link to the radio station?
One of my friends forwarded me this blog. I am not much of a blog reader, but this is great! It makes watching a trashy show like The Bachelor even more entertaining. Hopefully you'll get something published one day!
what are the chances that sheena and wonder twin chad have a future together???
not very good unless he leaves his wife.
how can anyone really think neither is picked....wasn't his comment to Chris H.at the end, "man,i am happier than i have ever been"? that got left out of the comments. Don't we also see him get down on one knee and/or open a ring box? i think people that don't really want either girl think this.
i am all about Jenni....and i think her little dance with the ipod at the end was both brave and adorable. she is the one and ABC knows it and added her, not DD, at the end of the episode.
Question about the Final Rose ceremony. Has ABC always showed the rejected gal first ? meaning of course if they start showing Deanna first (in the limo and walking down to see if she gets a rose or not... ) we know Jenni is the winner ?
I can't remember - but I bet it's probably true - would be a downer to show the chosen gal, then the rejected one... and then go back and show happily ever after photos of the happy couple ?
what say you bachelor experts ?
I love this blog. I read another blog pretty regularly and found this post!
http://billtblogs.blogspot.com/2007/11/what-am-i-doing-wrong.html
what a small world!! (I'm betting the blogger, Bill. T., is referring to you)
I also think that Brad's end comment about him being happy means that he's not with either girl. From what they showed of him saying to each girl at the final ceremony it looked like they wanted it to appear it was DD but that it really will be Jenni. Either, way, I think he made a choice but they aren't together now. We shall see next week...hopefully the show gives something exciting to recap!
No, in the Jesse Palmer season one of the girls got sick so she ended up coming last and the girl that DID get picked watched the whole thing from the window! I would love ABC to throw a little trick like that in again. You always know from the moment a foot steps out of the first limo... and I always hope it will turn out different!
WOW, here is Jenni's resume. She has been a busy girl!

Who else thinks Lincess should be the next Bachelorette?
Sorry, I meant Lincee
:)
Here is the link to the radio station in Austin that talked with Hotter Than Crap Brad this am. Unfortunately they don't seem to have a playback of the conversation and I tuned in just after they had talked with him.
http://mix947.com/pages/302027.php
If Jenni is picked and can't be the next Batchelorette, what about Sheena?
Yes, Sheena's young, but she does have class and handled all the drama really well--like Jenni, she rarely made a negative comment about the other women (I think the only negative comment was about Bettina not being excited).
And about an earlier season where the one who's picked coming out first and then having to wait...thought that happened at a rose ceremony in a gothic, vaguely-looking church-like set. Can't remember the season. Could be wrong, though...
Is anyone else reading all the suddenly positive comments about Hillery and wondering hmmm....is Miss Hillery posting some of these about herself? Come on now, I don't think she did anything that stellar last night to redeem herself enough to be the next bachelorette!!! Plus her hair curls are always wound so damn tight...I am always imagining that she wears those plastic bendy curlers from the 80s (I think they were blue, not talking about foamy pink rollers). Remember bendy rollers? Anyone....anyone??
To each their own I suppose, but I still don't see how people are still so hot on Dr Travis. He was so vanilla to me. Give me CHARLIE any day. In fact, since he's single again....bring him back ABC!!!
And yes, Jesse the 'big dumb bo-hunk' Bachelor had the 'winning' girl watch in the wings as he crushed Tara(?)'s heart. I'm sure they did that then because NO ONE gave a damn about that season by that point. In fact the girl who DIDN'T go home with Jesse in the end was technically the 'winner' of that season anyway, at least in my eyes!
I think I'd rather see Sheena again on MTV's "Date My Mom".
I rather like "Lincess". Pushing Lincee and Princess together!
The Jenni dancing with her Ipod thing at the end? Yeah. Completely, totally, 100% obvious the producers forced her into it. But I HATED it because she had the same pseudo self-conscious, "hee hee I don't want to dance in front of the camera but of course I really DO so look at me" thing going on as she had when she danced for Brad on her hometown stage. Barf. Jenni, you're a dancer, so either dance full out without being so falsely self-conscious about it, or give us a break and show us another talent. Whatever you want: cooking, knitting, golf, making conversation. PICK ONE. And yes, dancing with dolphins qualifies as dancing.
Hillary was entertaining last night. I'm glad she seems to be a little redeemed (at least in the sense that everyone enjoyed her interactions/comments, and she did it without being low-class fake bitchy like McCracken) because while she may be a little nutty, she doesn't seem that bad and I doubt she deserved the horrible edit ABC gave her. The "...watch as Hillary loses her mind" voiceover was really way too much. Poor girl. I'd watch more of her.
Sheena is sweet and classy as hell...too classy and maybe not interesting enough to be the next bachelorette.
I agree that Hillary would make a great "Bachelorette". She's just random enough to make it tons of fun!
(And no... this isn't Hillary posting. I just thought she was pretty cool on the WTA show. She kept cracking me up!)
Sheena would also be great... but didn't she say she's now seeing someone? (or did I read that somewhere?)
Would LOVE to have heard the radio comment by Brad. Interesting theories on how our Bachelor doesn't choose either girl. That really would be the most dramatic ending ever.
Perhaps Chad did not approve of any of the choices...some brothers have this pact...must give thumbs up...before the ring. And Chad most likely vetoed Sheena after exposure to the gene pool!
Haha, Lincee, I think of myself as having a picky/random sense of humor and I think you are funny as hell. I know everyone says this but you truly have a gift!
Chris Harrison, we know you read this blog. You are the best thing to happen to reality TV since Mark L. Wahlberg of Temptation Island. Thank you for the hilarity this week! We miss it. Quick question: Is it uncomfortable having to call Brad "our SEXIEST bachelor ever" when he's sitting right next to you???? Ha! That killed me!
Brad, you ARE the sexiest bachelor ever. Close second was Dr. Travis, but this season's bachelor's honesty and GREAT personality seats him safely in solo first place. I never want this season to end!
My boyfriend blatantly laughed in my face when I said that it looked earlier in the day when Jenni was talking to Brad on the proposal pedestal...guess I am starting to read into it a bit too much. But I did say, "Uh-oh" when he said he has "No regrets" about the "amazing experience"...sounds like a giant let-down waiting to happen!
The one thing I came away with after this episode (besides a vow never to eat a fish taco again) was that I SWEAR next we will hear Chad is divorced and Sheena has moved to Texas! Those two have some MAJOR chemistry and if I were his wife I'd be terrified!
Keep it up Lincee--someday ABC will realize what your 630,000 BFFs already know! You'd be the most entertaining thing on that channel!
Love,
Fun in SF
P.S. I agree with the person who said Sadie should be the next Bachelorette! She's my all-time fave. Maybe we should nominate her by calling that fabulous phone number given to us by Model Susan and Princess Erica...just a thought.
Transcript to the radio is on http://www.realitytvspoiler.com/
dont read it if you dont want a spoiler!!! :)
Lincee - thanks for the shout out! I've been reading since someone forwarded me your email a few years ago. Also thanks to whoever posted a link to my site...I was referring to her.
Peace,
Bill
My theory for next week's show - he picks Jenni, and she turns him down.
I must say that I prefer Jenni.
But would that be the twist that was advertised in the beginning?? Not!
It would be so much fun if something truly different happened, but I really think this is a case of lots of hype. (Like Hilary loses her mind...)
The funny thing is that we would all tune in to watch more of the "so called" boring date stuff...watching humans try to connect is interesting enough!
Have you noticed that DD likes to wear hoops too???
Be fair!! Or not - it's your blog!
I've heard a new rumor that he asks one of the girls to take this into the real world... and then he asks her to marry him on the After the final rose show.
Someone else also said that DD says they are "still filming" so that leads me to believe its her!

The preview shown on ABC last night...has one of the girls saying...I'm so sorry!!! But it was audio only...are they wanting us to think...Brad gets rejected?
They are sure priming us for a surprice...I love the suspense!
As much as I hate to admit it, ABC has me completley clueless on this one. I have NO idea, and normally I can read these things like a book. For a group that was relatively boring, I have to give ABC and the interns credit on the editing because I haven't been able to predict nearly as much this season as I have in previous seasons.
For Anon 1:12 who was asking about the WTA, and ATFR, didn't Jenn and Charlie get both of those and their endings were kind of ambiguous?
I have no idea who Brad is going to pick. And for those who keep nominating Bachelorettes, apparently ABC is not hearing you.
It should be interesting....
And for those who want Lincee to be the next Bachelorette, I say "NO" simply because who is going to do the recaps? Poor Lincee might have to sign the blog away, and I just can't have that. I'm sorry, even though I think that Brad will come to this senses and realize that this crazy experience called the Bachelor did really lead to the women of his dreams, Lincee!!!!!!!!! Now that's the ending I'm rooting for!
The audio of one of the girls saying "I'm so sorry" could have been from any of the episodes...however I think Jenni was crying in the previews for next week's episode, telling him how much she loved him and I swear she said "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you the last time I saw you" or something like that...I like the idea of him proposing on ATFR. I hope its to Jenni!
Random: So for thanksgiving my brother in law is bringing his new girlfriend home....and she happens to be a "BACHELOR" ALUM...from the Dr. McHottie (Travis Stork) Season. Her name is Shiloh (who?)...kidding...should be fun!!
I remember liking Shiloh - wasnt she the one that was previously engaged or married? What a tool Travis the Dork MD was....
LINCEE - your inserts of the Jim Halpert are so perfect! I LOVE that show, and I adore your humor. Great recaps, to what has been a big improvement to the bachelor season. ABC needs to keep the formula as Hotter Than Crap dudes that are sweet as pumpkin pie, not d-bags like Prince Chach and Dr. Boring in Paris. THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS LINCEE!
This was another great recap! I read this rather than watch the whole show. I couldn't watch the whole show- I was too embarrassed for the girls. They do realize that they're on television, don't they? They just remind me of a prettier version of Jerry Springer when they all get together like that. If Brad's smart, he'll go for Jenni.
Brad plus Jenni equals True Love Waits on her. True Love/Connection at their ages equals Till Death Do Us Part. For Sure. No Doubt. Cute connection not quite as good as Trista and Ryan but a CLOSE second. Remember Trista and Ryan on the houseboat in Seattle. H-O-T like Brad and Jenni. Just putting it out there. LOVE, Love, love you Lincee. So dang hilarious.
They finally posted the audio from when Hotter Than Crap Brad was on the JB and Sandy show in Austin last week.
Here is the link to the show, then click on the audio file. Enjoy.

Hillary didn't say "my family's wealthy". She said something like "my family's warm & inviting & would never judge..."
And I still want to know. Nowhere, this entire season, does the bach or ANY of the girls mention that HE is a millionaire. Only when they do the Chris Harrison voice over "Which girl's dream of marrying a millionaire with end tonight?" do we ever hear about it. As bit*hy as the girls this season have been, I wonder if they knew during filming that he is a millionaire. And even then, it wasn't mentioned on the WTA at all. I'm sure that would have created more drama this year had they known....
Anon 10:03
Okay, I'll admit that I'm hopelessly holding on to hope that Brad chose Jenni. Having said that, I have seen support that the radio interview revealed that he didn't choose anyone, but I just don't get that from anything that he said. I heard him saying that he made sure he had the option to choose no one, but that he believes he has a great chance at lifetime love with the girl he did choose.
Your thoughts?
okay so i heard on the previews last night what sounded like brad sobbing and then one of the girls tearfully saying "im sorry"
i was around the corner so i didnt see what was on screen when that played but all i can say is i'm so excited for tonight!!!
did anyone else hear that last night??
