The Bachelor Recaps: Episode 6

Episode 6

Women Tell All was fun. I have so much to share next week. It will be interesting to see what all is edited from the show. Thanks to Chris Harrison for the tickets and shout out.

Thanks to everyone on the message board who feels the need to defend me as well. How sweet to know that you are loved by many. Right back at you America. And that one person in Indonesia who reads…

And to those of you who think my picture is too small to see…it was on purpose. I can’t imagine what the message board talk would be if my dented nose and weird scar above my eyebrow were nice and big for all to see and comment. “Did you think she would have short hair? She looks like a gay man! Which one is she? The hairy one on the right or left? Look at those thighs! Unfortunate ears if I do say so myself.”

You have to keep it real when you are from the south side like me.


SIMPLE DISCLAIMER

The following information you are about to read is of personal opinion. If this e-mail circulates to friends, family, enemies...that is your business. However, if you or someone in your address book happens to personally know, sort of know, know the brother/cousin of, thought you saw in the grocery store buying tofu or have a nail technician that looks exactly like one of the Bachelorettes on the
show...none of this is personal and I'm sure they are all lovely people.

Raise your hand if you are with Straight Lawyer John and you are a bit over the Bachelor. Hands down. Raise your hand if you really care who he picks at this point? Hands down. Raise your hand if you do not wear deodorant like Matthew McConaughey. Hand down BFF #2 Paul. Raise your hand if you don’t care that Matthew McConaughey does not wear deodorant because he is hotter than crap. Nice.

I do have to admit that it wasn’t as fun knowing who got kicked off before I watched the show. You see, we got to LA after they were already showing last night’s episode. We didn’t get to watch it. Obviously we saw Susan sitting in the WTA audience and used our context clues to figure out she was the one kicked off and America was left with Nashville and Mowana.

But I was still struggling last night to maintain focus. I found my bowl full of strawberries lathered in Cool Whip more interesting than the two hours of nothing we watched last night. I cursed myself for buying Dr Pepper in the tiny cans thinking I would drink less, when actually I drink two or three at a time.

However, ABC threw me a bone the first 30 minutes of the show and allowed me a brief walk back down memory lane. The hook? How exotic first dates seal the deal when it comes to Bachelors in days gone by.

Really? Hmmmm. Let’s see here. Eleven Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons and three of them are still together. Two of the women had to go through the process twice to find true love and only one of the couples are actually married.

But I get it. You don’t have to force feed me ABC…
Exotic dates + closed doors + no cameras = love 4 ever

ABC shows us a video montage of exotic dates gone bad from seasons before. They showed us Alex and Shannon from the first season and how she denied his invitation of the forgo card...and reminded us that she was immediately kicked to the curb afterwards. We saw Tina Fabulous and Firestone get it on in Hawaii. And then she got kicked to the curb. Gwen and Aaron from season two had a literal fairy tale date with a pumpkin coach, wicked step sisters, some sort of glass slipper…and a one-way ticket back to Cinderellaville.

To prove to America that this show really works and you can find true love in reality TV, we see Trista and Ryan, Kush and Sarah, Mary Mary and Centrum Silver. We are forced to witness Trista and Ryan’s wedding again. Luckily they cut out the pink and blue sand stunt. Kush, Sarah and her ginormous broach pointing to her new boobs are yucking it up in LA, laughing at each other and making fun of the world. Mary Mary has taken up fly fishing with Centrum Silver and hopes to live in a tree house one day.

Oh the memories. But why the montage? Are we being played? Does ABC want to psychologically put subliminal messages in our head to make us think McHottie has more personality that a wet dish rag? Does the audio have background noises that secretly tell us, “You are seeing chemistry. There is love there. Exotic dates are cool. Hot tubs are sexy. Chemistry. Connection. Everything is awesome. Paul is dead. No one here kisses like they are brother and sister. See the chemistry? Embrace the chemistry. We can’t afford another season where the couple breaks up. Chemistry. Connection. Awesomeness.”

Therefore, I think the logical thing to do is write in a Top Ten list format. Date by date. Uncomfortable moment by uncomfortable moment. Tear by tear. Hot tub by hot tub. Forgo key by forgo key.

Let’s start, shall we?

Mowana’s Date’s Top Ten List
1. Bees and dogs can smell fear. Pigeons can spot a nut job a mile away. Kamikaze birds unite!
2. When Mo asked McHottie if he had fun in the OC, I couldn’t help but wonder if he met Ryan Attwood.
3. Mo breaking out the Italian card: After threatening to sew an exact replica of a voodoo doll in the shape of the executive producer, Mowana gets to go to Italy on her exotic date and speak Italian to the waiters, therefore impressing McHottie with her mysterious and exciting personality.
4. Man wearing an outfit from It’s A Small World plays accordion for the couple. I’m pretty sure that was just after they sucked a string of spaghetti towards each other for a kiss under a bridge. I could be wrong though.
5. Dr. McHottie has spent more than one hour with Mowana and has run out of things to say. But he enjoys her silence and likes the fact that there is no need for words when she is around. What?
6. Nice toast McHottie: “To us. To Venice. To me. (huh?) I’m with the most beautiful woman in Venice.” **Note to self, he did NOT say the most beautiful woman in the world. He said Venice.**
7. Did anyone follow the dinner conversation? Something about I can’t wait to get back to my old life, yet I would have never met you. I can teach you. You can teach me. We can continue to learn. Everything is real.
8. It’s nice to know that Mo and Mc are on the same page. It’s nice to hear that he thinks they are and then to hear that she thinks they are and then to hear them discuss they appreciate the other one thinks they are and together being on the same page is good.
9. Mo straight up tells the camera that she is ready to go to the Forgo Suite and get to know McHottie on a physical level. We see her whisper something in his ear along the lines of, “If you close that door right now, you will see what it means to be on the same page as me.”
10. McHottie suffers through another one of Mo’s death grips on the couch as he is trying to peel her off of him so he can run to the door, shut it and get lucky Italian style!

Nashville’s Date’s Top Ten List
1. I can’t tell you the last time I enjoyed a Ferris wheel that went less than one mile per hour.
2. There’s nothing like a good couples massage followed by a jovial dip in some magical Australian bathtub that forces one to be physically unable to submerge oneself in the water and giggle constantly at the fact that you are floating.
3. Enough with the pecking kisses.
4. Did Chris Harrison just say Nashville was a Kindy-garden teacher?
5. Kudos to the ABC intern for making sure every set of stairs in Vienna had candles on them. Nice work dude.
6. McHottie is sick of the fancy food and orders Bubba Gump shrimp to be flown in from Louisiana. The two eat in the Forgo Suite and talk about how much they have in common. ABC intern cries to the ABC Psychologist about how hard he has been working to make each date perfect with candles, roses and fine china…and no one appreciates him.
7. McHottie admits he has the best friendship connection with Nashville and gives her a BeFri necklace.
8. He asks about what she thinks of the other girls and is smitten like a kitten that she didn’t bad mouth Mo or Susan.
9. They make out UNLIKE brother and sister for about ten minutes. Lots of angles. Lots of coaching in the background we can’t hear. C’mon people…if we are going to make this look believable, we have to help the Tennessee folks out. Lift her up. Tilt your head to the right. To the right Travis...that’s your left. You’ve stepped out of lighting. Intern…go get Nashville a box to stand on. Quit crying. There’s no crying on the Bachelor.
10. My vote is that Nashville wins.


Susan’s Date’s Top Seven List Because I Can’t Think of Ten
1. Let’s climb a rock and sit on a log that was taken from a Dirty Dancing scene and talk about your motives. That sounds fun! Did you come here for exposure?
2. Cider wine….steaming…in a kettle. Where’s my bucket?
3. Let’s sit down with our vomit wine and talk again about your motives. What a date! Did you think that you receiving the first kiss was some sort of competition you won?
4. Here we go again with the peck kissing.
5. Let’s have dinner and talk about how you only say things that you think I want to hear. Sound good? Why do you always agree with me?
6. McHottie thanks Susan for her honesty and canned answers (ouch) and presents her with the Forgo Card, which she reads in her best baby talk.
7. McHottie and Susan get busy in the token hot tub. Unfortunately, Susan thinks she is solidifying their connection and is looking forward to having her next headshot taken with her rose she will be receiving.

Rose Ceremony Top Four List
1. Thank the Lord for Chris Harrison’s tie.
2. The word amazing was used nine times in the video messages.
3. Susan is an actress. She is emotional. In fact, she presented us with a buffet, if you will, of emotion during her trip back home in the limo. We saw shock. Anger. Denial. Laugher. A single tear. Multiple tears. A breakdown of tears. And we saw Susan dig down way deep and pull out something we were not expecting…
4. The “f” bomb. ABC had to bleep Susan on national TV for dropping the “f” bomb. Showtime…here she comes!

Website count: 100,094
I think I’m in disbelief. Seriously. 100K party…here I come! The hot wine and Dr Pepper is one me!

All about the shame, not the fame,

Lincee

We heart Lincee. Do you ever feel like we're the pesky little kindy gardeners begging and petitioning for your attention? Take heart, it's all admiration. Thanks for your thoughts. I've been in since...well, like 2 years ago? A long time and now I'm on a blog. Amazing! Thanks for everything.

In the spirit of the sports theme of this episode's blog, love ya 1:53 and 3:26.

And for anyone who's interested, my "could care less about this stupid show" but very thoughtful husband passed along a link to a hilarious article on the Bachelor. It's from the "Sports Guy" on ESPN: Here's the link to the "Sports Guy" article on espn.com:

Big Hug Lincee - having relationships not work out is hard - been there myself. First year sucks but then gets better.

SLJ - if I ever find myself on the wrong side of the bars - I'm soooo looking you up. That is if you're not sitting next to me...

Liked Travis with the longer hair - showed personality - I'd go live on a mountain with him! What a cute smile - haven't seen much of that on the show (not the real ones where his eyes sparkle)

I was so surprised when I saw what a cute figure Sarah had in the swimsuit - from a fellow conservative gal - SHOW SOME SKIN GIRLIE GIRL. I know - it's hard - but you can show some without being trashy.

WTA - can't wait! I'm thinking Lincee will be on the quick flash at the end of the show. Fingers crossed.

Anonymous said...

First time reader of the blog thanks to head's up from my daughter. Great recap. More fun than the show for sure. Dr Pepper cans -- mini microwave popcorn bags, same deal. Two usually do it!

Sarah's na na boo boo look to Susan.......no imaginary wishful thinking - it was great! Not very nice MS Kindergarten teacher!

Susan's baby talk - worked for Trista - barf-O-ramma!

lincee, you're awesome. none of us will be able to concentrate on the WTA because we'll be scanning the crowd for the gal in the red jacket!!!

did you meet the bachelorettes personally?

who would've thought we'd be so excited about Mondays?!?

bff#2 paul, a few years ago when silly meredith got rid of the most amazing matthew, he would show up for a watch party at fox and hound near houston. he was there with family and friends,but made an announcement as to where he would be. really and truly...a guest appearance somewhere in the houston area to watch the finale with lincee? a bar or restaurant would probably pay you to set it up for the multitudes that would show up to be in the same room with such greatness!! you heard lincee, get on that and let us know!!!

Lincee,
Your easy going spirit is infectious. Looking forward to next week's behind the scenes scoop! And, can't wait to hear your take on ABC editing.

And to 11:37pm...yes, perhaps in years past...but, oh what's that I see? It's "hotter than crap McConaughey" funky dancing with our Nat'l Champ. trophy.
All in fun baby!

I'm a Jayhawk through and through, but I couldn't help but cheer for Texas in the National Football Championship . . . I was SO tired of hearing about USC!!

It will be a different story next weekend in Austin, however :) It's ON like Donkey Kong . . . battle for Big XII Champs, baby. I'd advise you to prepare to lose 1:08, just so you see it coming. Likewise, all in fun ;)

Lincee, thanks for everything. You've begun a phenomenon for all of us to get on here and waste our employers' time while laughing through the banter about mohawks, fondue cheese, drama queens, and college sports. Quite the combination, but your blog is awesome and you're just wonderful for getting it all started!!

Regarding the bachelors and the women they picked. I'm looking for a rundown of where they are now and if any of the bachelors are dating other bachelorettes they didn't pick initially. Can anyone help me? Links or info would be great...this is for work and time is of the essence.

Fabulous! Loved, loved, loved the recap as usual. Thanks for pointing out that the word "amazing" was only used about a million times the whole show. I have to ask though...Why no mention of Trish's appearance, and comments, during the video montage of past Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. Especially the comment that if the bachelor would have chosen to come to her room what the night would of been like! AH!

I think I'm just gonna have to get myself to that game so I can yell super loud ;-).

And, to tie it back to our favorite show--is "The Final Best Rose Ceremony EVER" going to be the following Monday the 27th?

To 2:24-You know Mack would be so proud of you. Seriously. I'm thinking he probably isn't one of our Straight Guys on here-but who knows, perhaps he's perusing.

I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers, so we'll leave Texas Fight as said :).

So I know this one will get some laughs but since 2 of the 3 people left on the show are from TN...the VOLS are on the way back baby!! You heard it here first.

Barf, 2:55. My son is two and the first thing he learned to say was, "Boo, Alabama!"

Since this blog seems to be dominated by Texas Fans, 2:55 and I will inform you that the rivalry between Auburn and Alabama is a million times more intense than any other stupid rivalry out there.

I just found this link! So sorry I didn't find it at the beginning of the season. Will be sure to bookmark it! Lincee - your recaps remind me of "Bunny" from Big Brother. Very entertaining. Thanks!

Jenn, will you be my BFF despite our differences in defining the finest college basketball team in the land (or at least Big XII)?

Check yes

or

Check no

And I do believe that the FINAL BEST ROSE CEREMONY EVER will be the 27th--two days after your poor 'Horns get rocked. But at least the Bachelor will bring your spirits back up ;)

Unknown said...

1:10 Jayhawk Fan,
Yes is checked! Did you make sure to fold your note in the super duper secret way we did back in the 80's-with the little pull tab? Good memories! We'll just see about the 25th!

Hey 3:00 Rocky Top-
You've got my respect-Peyton was my first QB crush...still love him. Sidenote-My coach crush is Jon Gruden-is he hot or what?

3:21-lovin' your respect for your team. Join us in the Cotton Bowl against OWho? or after Thanksgiving against the Ags, and then we'll compare notes. ;-)

Poor Travis is getting slammed all over the place, and although, I do still think he's nice to look at, I feel compelled to share as to why this Bachelor has never been anywhere near the of top of my list of ellible Bachelors:

1. I can guarantee that on any given Saturday during fall months, our outdoorsy Dr. Mc would be rather be running around, frolicking in the woods instead anxiously awaiting College Game Day and all that follows. No thanks.

2. Duke fan. Even if he's not making it public, it's in there.
The first weekend of March Madness is better than Christmas; what's even better is when Duke falls out of the bracket.

sorry, eligible, not ellible.

Seriously Lincee- I love you more and more every week. I think we have a real connection. You are amazing. If we ever get to go on an overnight date I would certainly forgo my individual room to stay in the intern suite with you!!! Thanks for the laughs!

Anonymous said...

3:56--sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. I'm an Auburn grad who grew up in Texas, so I've been to a Texas Cottonbowl game, and also watched many a Thanksgiving UT/A&M game, neither of which comes close to the frenzy of an Ironbowl, any Ironbowl, even one in which both teams have a losing season.

Anonymous said...

Okay . . . I grew up in Kansas and spent a year in Birmingham, AL. Down there, football is a Religion (with a capital R) there and an unforgiving one at that.

I thought we in Kansas were serious about our basketball (and we are, believe that), but when I found out people would skip their kids' soccer games and schedule important surgeries around 'Bama or Auburn football games, it was time to move back home (and I got a new job).

I do respect your traditions down South (because what's better than the camaraderie that college sports can provide--I mean, I have a new BFF. Hi Jenn!), but I'm not going to lie, Roll Tide vs. War Eagle is super intense and also a little bit creepy.

i can't believe that nobody has mentioned the preview of mchottie's home visit. did you check out mother mchottie's wide and tall hairdo? she looks like she would definitely need "french" doors to get in the house. abc interns were probably extra busy lining up kut-n-kurl specialists from nearby towns. i haven't seen the pics that everyone is mentioning about his past hair style, but if there was any genetic hairstyling going on...the eddie munster do is definitely a step up for him.

This is addicting. Just like EBAY. The person who called "any other rivalry out there stupid" should realize that your rivalry is very important to you because it's yours. People just have different degrees of craziness. I live in Texas but married someone from Montgomery, AL and received Rolltide (go!) and Auburn shirts. I spent several Christmas's at the Blue Gray game. These people are insane. I must say however, that I work with Aggies and UT fans and it gets crazy at work.

So the person who thinks every rivalry other than theirs is stupid; remember we all have different points of view.

8:55-3:21 here. Sorry, didn't mean to offend. Don't get your panties in a wad. I was simply stating a COLD, HARD FACT! And note that I said every other RIVARLY was stupid, not the people who dig them, so name-calling is really not necessary.

Anonymous said...

Woah there 8:17/3:21 . . . let's tone down the rudeness factor just a bit. I mean, 8:55 was clearly trying to point out that we all have our different persuasions (and yours seems to be teaching your son important phrases like "Boo, Alabama"--props to you if that's your thing), so can't we all just get along?

Also props to Straight Lawyer John for likening this blog to something like having a drink with your friends . . . not something like starting a war among foes . . . Let's cool it with the "I'm better than you and your rivalry sucks, too" crap and just appreciate all the practical knowledge we're gaining from Lincee's blog.

Can't leave without a shout out to my BFF Jenn!

Not to speak for 8:55pm, but, I clearly think she was not calling you stupid-notice the placement of her semi-colon...after the word stupid. She was just quoting what you said, then said to remember we all have different points of view. Flame out. Storm over. It's all about respect.

Shout out 1:10 Jayhawk fan!!! It is all about respect isn't it? And, hubby informed me that the Horns are in for a run for their money on the 25th. Our Texas Fight will drown out the Rock Chalk Jayhawk banter in the Drum! :)

8:55am That suggestion has been made before, but we have to have something to talk about Thurs-Mon. We can only talk about mountain hair, awkward kisses, chemistry and adjectives for so long. :)

Whoa, Jayhawk! The whole point of saying, "didn't mean to offend" was just that--I was trying to be light-hearted. And the COLD,HARD FACT was tounge-in-cheek, but obviously,you didn't get it. My point was not to be rude, but to point out that it is rude to call people stupid.

Then my wholehearted apology goes out to you, Auburn fan/9:33. I think we can all agree that sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek are a little hard to catch online. I just want to have fun, too! My apologies.

And my BFF Jenn is right . . . you can only talk about one episode so much before we have to shift the focus.

No matter if your TEXAS FIGHT drowns out the Rock Chalk Chant . . . the only thing that matters is what goes on on the court. I can't wait for that game.

And for those disinterested parties out there (who cheer neither for the Jayhawks nor the Longhorns): if you like college basketball, this is sure to be a showdown. College Game Day, February 25th. ESPN. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Couldnt agree more. I am an Auburn grad and have attended my fair share of Auburn/Bama football games. It is definitely something to see. It's just awesome. Get there someday if you can. However, one thing I have ALWAYS wanted to do is take in a Duke/UNC game at Cameron Indoor. I hope to do it before I turn 30. Damn, I'm running out of time...

Props to bringing up the 'Heels and Duke rivalry. Though you have our old beloved coach Roy, he's where he belongs and we're certainly feeling more comfortable with our new man, Bill Self, and our talented crop of freshman starting to shine at the right time.

Any chance I have to hate on the Blue Devils, I'll take. Sorry if you're a Duke fan, but I am extremely tired of hearing about JJ Redick (though I have to admit he is incredibly good). I think my hating is due in part to Duke Vitale's announcing . . . I swear he has a man crush on Coach K and it drives me insane (as does his voice).

Props to Lincee's #1 fan bringing that up. I still want the chance to see Kansas play Carolina in the tournament . . . there'd be a lot of trash talking then, for sure.

While we're at the rivalry game, and being Red-and-Blue through and through, any Mizzou fans out there? So sorry about coach Quin . . . maybe he can do some modeling to subsidize his loss of income while searching for a new job.

All in fun :)

I have a really emabarrasing question to ask. I am almost afraid of writing on this dang thing because everyone is so critical, but what does it mean to say "keepin' it real?" And where is the "south side?" just wondering

And for your information I did not marry my cousin or sibling. I married my brother's wife's sister's neighbor's cousin's very HOT uncle. And I enjoy breakin' up my day with witty banter. As Lincee would say, "Peace homey".

As a former student of A&M, I have to thank you Straight Lawyer John for mentioning my alma mater. I've been to a lot of college football games, and never have I seen spirit anywhere like we have in Aggieland. One slight correction though, we DO stand the whole game, except for when the opposing team's band is playing. And speaking of bands, how 'bout that Fightin' Texas Aggie Band? Truly remarkable!

Back to The Bachelor:

A couple of things I noticed about Sarah:

(1) When talking about why Travis should pick her, she keeps saying "He's perfect for me." Isn't it supposed to be about you selling yourself to The Bachelor and who is perfect for him? Somebody needs to tell her, "It ain't about you, honey!" I'm sure all of the other rejects felt that Travis was perfect for them too.

(2) Her aunt said on the Nashville visit, "If Sarah isn't happy, no one's happy." Makes her sound self-absorbed.

Don't get me wrong! I don't think Moana is a better choice. I'm just saying that it looks like poor Trav has left himself with choosing the lesser of two evils.

Anonymous said...

As a native Nashvillian thought everyone would enjoy the below from the Tennessean. Guess it doesn't mean too much. I am sure applications were due long ago and that it was early in the process. You would also think ABC would encourage him to apply lots of places so it didnt tip anyone off...still, entertaining!

Is The Bachelor looking to stay here in Music City?

"I'm told there are nurses all atwitter at Summit Medical Center in Hermitage because Dr. Travis Stork of ABC's The Bachelor: Paris has applied for a job in the ER there.
No feedback from Summit itself. Libby Taylor of the hospital's marketing department told me yesterday, "I can't confirm or deny anything about The Bachelor."
And Travis himself couldn't be reached yesterday. But this certainly is interesting.
As you know, Travis is in his third and final year of ER residency at Vanderbilt, so it would be time for him to start looking for a job. But is he really applying in the Nashville area? And what does that say, if anything, about how the finale might go Feb. 27?
You might recall contestant Sarah Stone and her family were devastated when Travis told them during his hometown visit here that he wanted to move back to the mountains of Colorado. Sarah told the camera she had envisioned settling down with Travis in Nashville.
And now comes word that Travis may have applied for a job here? Does this mean . . . MOVE OVER MOANA?"
--from Brad About You Column

Anonymous said...

Also, wouldn't it be funny if Travis switched his practice to OB/GYN and then women could say that "The Stork" delivered their baby? Maybe he could even hook up with Kush's Sara, who is a labor & delivery nurse, and marry her. They would make a cool baby-delivery team (or at least have a cool name).

Anonymous said...

ss in houston,

Is it wrong that Sarah is looking for a guy that matches HER taste? You said, "it aint about you." So is it all about Travis? Sounds like a pretty one sided relationship if only Travis finds what he is looking for and not both people, right?

Anonymous said...

justsomedude,

I'm sorry if I was unclear. I don't think it is wrong that Sarah is looking for someone that is right for her. I just thought that her self-centered answer was strange for the question of why Travis should give her a rose. If you went on a job interview and was asked why should you be hired, you probably wouldn't answer, "Because this job is perfect for me!" That might be your reason for seeking the job, but that isn't necessarily why you should be hired. And that might especially hold true if you were competing with 24 other "qualified" candidates (some maybe just as or more qualified than you are) and most of those other candidates were willing to sleep with the interviewer to get the job!

Aggie 1:46,
I admit, there is nothing like being at A&M watching the whole stadium sway, hearing all those secret chants (although usually directed at beating the hell out of us)-that's some school spirit, and to borrow from BFF Jayhawk, "a little creepy" :). (said with love til game day-11/24/06-hook 'em)

12:21--don't be afraid to ask! I believe "Keepin' it real" is a reference to the Dave Chappell show and means something along the lines of keepin' it true, authentic, not a farce--sorry, this is harder to explain than I thought it would be. And I've been wondering about the South Side thing as well.

You are so right!!!!! Why did I bother posting my "opinion" on this blog? It's not like the whole world is out there "selling themselves"? Those girls weren't throwing themselves at The Bachelor to get a rose, people aren't trying to get hired for jobs, Susan wasn't looking for her big break into Hollywood, Dr. Pepper isn't trying to get you to buy it over Pepsi, politicians aren't trying to get your vote, and you're not trying to sound like you know what you're talking about! Selling yourself is in no way a part of everyday life! What was I thinking?!?!?!?

Anyway, who cares? Sarah IS perfect for Dr. Trav because they're BOTH FROM NASHVILLE!!!!

Think I'll stick to just reading Lincee from now on. You people are way too serious. At least she's funny.

SS from H-town: The Stork/OBGYN comment was awesome, no doubt. I mean pee-your-pants funny kind of awesome. Maybe it's because I'm delirious and still at work on a Friday. Who knows? Thanks for the laughs.

Jenn, I'm with you on the Alabamer comment . . . I don't get it. Any Tide faithful care to explain the origins of the yellow hammer cheer? PS: . . . only 8 days until it will be known who truly is the King of the Big XII bball mountain :)

I swear I'm getting addicted to blogging on here. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? Maybe we should start a support group: Bachelor Recaps Anonymous (or not-so-anonymous). Maybe we already are a support group.

Anyway, Bachelor Recap faithful, I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend in anticipation of Monday's WTA with your favorite and mine--Lincee's recap!

Anonymous said...

Lincee we love you, ring-ching-ching, TTF, all that stuff. What were you and Jilly called when you used to come to meeting dressed up as those funny ladies?? I thought y'all should have gone to the WTA as them!!

One question...why have the recaps gotten SO long this season?? I tend to have ADD and could barely make it through this week...you used to settle for a top 10 on a show, but this time it seems you tried to do 3 top-tens....that's a top 30!! It really was much more entertaining to read 10 really funny things than 30 mediocre comments or details of the show. And your emails were less of a true "recap", more just Lincee's great thoughts and funnies! Anyway, like I think you've said..."Not hatin', just sayin'".

Regardless, we love you, love the recaps, love this blog and the crazy people who write in and comment!

Of course it's all about The Bachelor, but as has been previously stated, there's only so many times someone can comment on the ginormous gulp Travis took, or the 18 billion twirls he gave that cheese. We are all drawn here for the same reason, but we need something else to sustain us until our next Tuesday fix--for some reason(probably our age) it seems to be college sports!

Remember our quarterback had like 70 family members living with him that had left rising waters in N.O. I love this blog and I too am finding myself drawn to it by some unseen force. I was a "virgin blogger" before Lincee went out on the web. I do miss my inbox having her name on it because it made me feel special but I say, "Hooray, welcome, stick around". This season will soon be over (sniff, sniff) but I know another will become the New Mc-Whittey-Dance and we will all come together again.

lincee and friends,i am a graduate of tamu, but one of my best friends attended baylor. from my estimations i am about 10 years older than you, but i wondered if there were a couple of bu traditions still around when you were there. first..."bearacade" where any unescorted girls on campus would be surrounded by a bunch of guys singing and you would have a minute to choose one guy to kiss, or you would have to give each of them a kiss? i think that was at homecoming. also, the "big o" at some locally famous restaurant/dive? just curious. i traveled highway 6 from college station to waco many a weekend. congratulations on your widespread fame. how many of us in life have ever had the opportunity to bring joy to so many others. i think most of us reading this weekly, feel lucky as if we know you in some small way, which we don't, but how great must it be for your family and friends to truly know you and enjoy the recognition that you are receiving. i am sure that you would probably agree that everything happens for a reason, good and bad. i hope that the good is overcoming any bad that you have gone through this year. thanks for bringing laughter to so many of us.

Lincee,
Not sure if you'll even read this because there are so many comments, but first I want to start off by saying LOVE your recaps! Myself and about 15 other friends from work read them each week. We have been getting your recaps through emails for ALL the past seasons before you went "online". We look forward to reading your recap just as much as watching the show. You always say exactly what everyone is thinking.

Second and most importantly, after your first experience with getting "online"...for next season, you may want to consider doing away with the ability for people to post messages on your blog. Before everyone FREAKS OUT about my statement, please consider:

Yes, most of these people are saying awesome and positive things about you, and that's great, but some of these people seem to be catty and dis-respectful towards you and each other. It could start taking the fun out of it for you. I'm sure everyone would agree with me in saying that we would not want these certain posts to influence you on whether you continue your recap. We would all be heart-broken and disappointed, and the Bachelor would probably lose ratings! :) Just a thought, and a matter of opinion.... Thanks.

Anonymous said...

3:49-You are sweet to worry about Lincee's feelings. People are just bored. It's almost Monday again. Everyone will get all worked up about the Women Tell All and discussion on the Bachelor will resume. Ya know how people at work say annoying things and you just ignore them because they aren't as socially fortunate as you? I'm sure Lincee does the same thing. We think she's funny and would love to be her friend but it's not really safe to meet people online. She has real life friends that probably laugh at the stuff people post here. You sound like a very kind person.

Hey Lincee Fans! I know all of you who love the recaps and love Lincee would love to see and hear more of her. Well now you can!!! If you keep the Tivo rolling after the WTA and live in the Houston area, you will see Lincee on the 10pm news on ABC 13 right after the show. I'm soooo proud of her. She was interviewed about our time at the taping and her thoughts on the people, her website, etc. I love her dearly and am so glad she has so many wonderful fans!

For all of those sports-talkin-on-the-bachelor-recap-blog-haters out there, get over yourselves. Go onto any other board or blog on the web and you will find banter about crap you don't care about. But what do you do? You skip it and move on. The only reason it has flurished like it has is because other people are wanting to talk about it too. Simply supply and demand. If there was no demand for it, it would go away on its own. Forgive the stroller pushin soccer mom for wanting to talk a little smack throughout the week. She hears her husband do it contstantly and now has a safe forum to do it herself, it's just for fun. If we have to keep it 100% bachelor then we can't talk about dr. pepper, pringles, pink hats or anything else unrelated to the show. And I think we all enjoy hearing about things that make others happy. Since we have an entire week between recaps I think there can be a little more room for other discussions. The recaps are what brought us here, now we can talk about what we want. (I won't bring up freedom of speech, I just won't go there.)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Tomorrow, Grey's Anatomy and Monday, drum roll...WTA! Yes!

That was a very polite note, and I'll politely reply that although I am PRO message board, I do love the forum format myself, but it's like this: (and some of ya'll may remember this quote on Oprah last fall) The board is like a shopping mall that's open, but "ain't nobody shoppin'". We have about 500 people standing outside staring through the windows, but afriad to come in. I'll be glad to start a post in the General section you mention, but I doubt it will go anywhere....however, should we get 100 replies this week I'll hop on my roof and shout Rock Chalk Jayhawk (esp. after we kick their @$# on the 25th, right BFF Jayhawk?) :), or the Rammer Jammer chant as loud as I can.

Anonymous 9:08 and Jenn - I totally agree that other comments can be made on this blog other than strictly bachelor related, especially later in the week when we have discussed about everything. For those of us that have been reading Lincee's recaps for years and even the newbies, you have to admit some of her funniest comments have nothing to do with the bachelor!

Likewise, I have LOL at some of you fellow bloggers comments! I am so glad #1 Jayhawk fan and Jenn are BFFs. Lincee would be proud!

A week ago I commented that I had to TIVO the Bachelor and fast forward it after watching my beloved Cowboys lose to the Jayhawks. Now after beating the Horns yesterday, do the Cowboys get a shout out from #1 Jayhawk fan? Sorry Jenn - love you anyway.

Lincee - we are all looking forward to your post tomorrow. Thanks for taking us all along on the great ride with you!

I'm glad to read through the weekend's comments . . . I was going through blog withdrawal! Here are some thoughts:

Hooray Cowboys for rolling over the Horns . . . and sorry to my BFF Jenn. Ultimately that loss yesterday intensifies the drama of the Big XII and who will win it.

Now my beloved Jayhawks (who steamrolled our hated rivals--the Mizzou Tigers on Saturday) are tied for first place with the Longhorns with two conference losses apiece and it'll make this Saturday's game that much more enjoyable for all to watch. It is, I'll remind you all, College Gameday: the Showdown in A-Town.

Jenn, I'm sure you're probably still hurting from the loss yesterday, so I won't be mean today because, after all, you are my BFF :)

I can't believe the WTA is tonight. I am so pumped! I'll second (or third, or fourth) the person who said to get a link/feed onto this blog for those of us who aren't in Houston. Go Lincee!!

For all the Grey's Anatomy Fans... I know it is "just TV" but did anyone else think it was strange that McSteamy was allowed to waltz into the hospital and consult with a random patient, then perform surgery?

Again, it is just for TV, but that seems like too much of a stretch!

I did think that whole Dr. off the street was way off. I thought the same thing about insurance and such. I guess all he did was stitch up his own face and work on a poor, poor soul who had already "passed". I thought he was fairly attractive in a rough sorda "cheater" way. McDreamy was hotter than hot punching him in his high and tight cheek bone. Loved it!! Is McSteamy going to be on again next week?? What up the Mere and George. Maybe the "beast" just needs to get out???
I am looking forward to tonight in a seriously big way. The commercials ABC is running show Ms. Actress in the role of her life. I hope that she can squeek out a few tears so that when she joins the Bold and The Beautiful--she'll be ready. Someone cries daily and they need to be really good at it!!

Go Horns, Go Horns! Hook 'em! Texas Fight! etc. :) Rock Chalk Jayhawk my butt. heehee All in fun my BFF! :)

So, I was watching Grey's last night, and just like you all, was totally loving when McDreamy punched out McSteamy, and loved it even more when he pointed out that it's so obvious McD is still in love with Mere. And, the hooking up with George grossed me out too!! Boo hiss. But, whatever, we'll see where it goes!! My favorite quote was when the girls named Mark "McSteamy" and George says, "makes me want to mcvomit!" ;)

Looking forward to WTA tonight! The tears, the angst, the hissing, the bickering...so fun!

Lincee, this is fun to read, but I do admit I'm a Steve fan, as I've read him longer and I do find his comments a little funnier. Nonetheless, I have to get my recap fix any way I can! Thanks for filling us all in, and can't wait to hear the behind-the-scenes scoop about the WTA ep!

Okay y'all,

I'm in advertising, I'm also obsessed with the bachelor. I went back and watched last week's show and the scene at the massage palor. The picture of the brunette at the massage palor probably wasn't Moana. The facial structure was different as well as the color tones of her skin. More than likely it was from a stock photo from a website like Corbis or Getty Images.

By the way y'all, Lincee rocks!

Um what the hell was the HOT seat & Susan all about. Thought this was about the "Bachelor"....instead it turned into the "classic Susan & her ex" Whateva....cant wait to hear what you have to share with all. FP NY

Advertising on your site! I LOVE IT! Lincee you should be paid and advertising is the best way! Cheers to you!

Susan did NOT represent herself well. I thought it was soooo cool that Travis's friend thinks citrus smile is great. She is such a doll.

Just did some scrolling, does anyone on here wonder if "Jenn" has a life besides me?

1st time poster, long-time reader...coming out of lurkerdom to proclaim that I actually shrieked aloud upon *finally* getting a glimpse of the infamous ABC intern correcting Sarah B's wardrobe malfunction. (Were her magic boobs just too powerful for that top or what??)

Just saw you on Channel 13 news, Lincee - you were awesome!!! Can't wait for tomorrow!

Just saw you Lincee on ABC news at 10:00. Loved it. So glad you are getting the publicity you deserve. They plugged your site tonight... can't wait to see tomorrow's count!

I have to say that Dr. McHottie impressed me tonight. I thought he came off very kind and well spoken. I like how he told everyone to move on from joking about Dr. "rotting eggs".

Great job Host Chris!!! Question - what about After the Final Rose? It wasn't mentioned....

I hope the lemon teeth girl gets to hook up with Doc Hotties friend that loved her. She deserves someone that can love her as she said.... just being herself~!

Lincee - looking good on ABC13 tonight!! Great job!

OK, someone please make Princess the next Bachelorette! Intelligent and beautiful; no wonder Travis dumped her early with the rest of the smart women.

lincee, you have the most beautiful eyes! now that we have seen you, be honest, did they pull you aside in la and pitch the idea of you being the next bachelorette?
are you feeling smarter with the darker hair? i hope that slj's wife is very confident in their love. he will probably be even more smitten with you now. congrats!

I just knew....KNEW I could find someone on here tonight. The wife is out of town on work and yes, I watched the whole damn show by my self. I need help...

Great show, cant wait to read Lincee's recap.

Saw ya on ABC13! I knew it had to be you when they were talking about it in the commercials! How fun!

Wow! I read you during the Firestone era. I'm so happy for your blog! But unhappy that I just found it tonight (saw you on local news- you were lovely!).
I read all the recaps all at once.
Did anyone notice that the lavender dress that Nashville was wearing in the last rose ceremony is exactly like the one Courtney is wearing in the bio pics?
Quelle Horreur!! (had to google that spelling)
What a fashion faux-pas!
Looks like Gunny Sacs should be sure not to loan dresses to girls at the same event. At least Zales had the decency to send different kinds of jewelry.

I live in Nashville and saw the Bachelor biking near my house! Pretty exciting. He's hot in real like too :)

12:47, Chris H still Your Host

Ummm, is that really you Chris H?

pretty damn cool if it is.

Lincee, Great spotlight on the news tonight! I was excited for you that your Recap site was even announced. You are the talk of Houston town and it is all GOOD !
Not only do your recaps continue to make me laugh out loud, but I am more in awe of how your brain works. I am thinking...where does she come up with this stuff???? Creative must be your middle name. Thanks for making me laugh!

Warning -- possible spoiler! (Though it is just my supposition/opinion.) To Anon 3:00 pm: that comment from Moana about "I wish I could've been there, SO bummed" was from tonight, 2/20, posted after the WTA episode -- and the photo she was commenting on was on Actress Susan's profile, a photo of Susan w/ the other ex-Bachelorettes backstage at the WTA!!! (I know this because they're wearing the clothes they wore on the WTA show.) So why else would Moana post this unless she was the loser? She wouldn't feel solidarity with them if she'd "won" Travis's heart. Ahhhh....Sarah wins!!!

I really thought we might see you on the recap show lincee! What happened to taking questions from the audience?!?!

Anonymous said...

10:17 anonymous: get up off Jenn's piece with your trash talking. If you haven't noticed, this blog is for fun and witty banter, which is exactly what Jenn and other people on here bring. Why do you have to come on here and try to spoil it?

The WTA was fun. My favorite part was in the bloopers when Tennesarah said she liked Dr. McHottie's meat. How inappropriate for our "good girl"--classic! I'm still laughing about that this morning.

Can't wait for Lincee's take!

Did anyone see McHottie's mom's hair? I got a cramp laughing so hard. It was a perfect mushroom shape on her head. Someone give her and Susan's mom a makeover please!

I saw you Lincee on the news last night! I don't know you Lincee, but I was proud of you and your recognition! I can't wait to read your WTA recap.
I know everyone dislikes Mowana, but I like her more than boring Sarah. I think ABC edit the tape to make her look and seem like she was unstable only because the other girls projected her to be unstable due to their rage of jealousy. They all need work on being less catty and insecure. Hello that's why you all didn't get a rose!
I was shocked when Chris said the majority was pulling for Mowana. Host Chris have you been reading this blog? If you are the majority is for Sarah.
I agree with Lawyer John...she's definitely chicken soup, but come to think of it so is McHottie. Houston..we may have a match...lift off to chicken soupville!
I personally think Mowana deserves someone more well-rounded. I don't see her living in the mountains. Just my thought.
Oh and was it Jen (the one who went on the camping trip with stoner Sarah) a real witch last night.
I agree Susan did a poor job in the hot seat. I couldn't wait for them to move on. She was like a little kid caught in a lie. Poor thing couldn't win the battle...bless her heart. I'm surprise she didn't come prepared with a good script written on her palm to get her out of the hot seat.
McHottie did get points last night for being a total gentleman and not making any negative comments about the girls. Kudos

This cracked me up!

"Lift her up. Tilt your head to the right. To the right Travis...that’s your left. You’ve stepped out of lighting. Intern…go get Nashville a box to stand on. Quit crying. There’s no crying on the Bachelor."

did lincee get divorced? i used to get emails from her as lincee moore...now it's lincee ray. and there's no longer any distinction drawn between "host chris" and "husband chris"... if so, that makes me terribly sad. i have so enjoyed your recaps since the firestone days and just wish you the best. you're a trip!!
