Along with every other person who cares about the oil and gas industry, I am at the Offshore Technology Conference. I'm at the double-decker FMC Technology booth right now in an UPSTAIRS conference room writing this message. I thought I would have time to write the recap this morning, but opted for sleep instead. Your head gets tired when you talk about next generation sub-sea trees for eight hours straight. Oh...and have you heard about the new K-box that Canrig rolled out?
I'll stop bragging now.
Recap later tonight. At least it's not tomorrow. Hang in there with me!

hanging...
(having "The Swarm" nightmares when I hear about Offshore Technology)
Conspiracy theory of the day. As my wife and I watched last night and ATOAG said to normal Stephanie, "this smells beautiful, just like you" or something along those lines, it dawned on me that the ABC interns gives to each Bachelor a book of lame/cheesy lines to say to keeps that keeps me uncomfortable for the whole show. Then they tell the bachelor, if you can think of anything to say, just say one of your memorized lines, which is how Stephanie is beautiful, just like the smell of a blended wine.
Can't wait for the recap....anyone else notice the fatal attraction tendencies from Bevin???? Hide your rabbits and put locks on the stove.
Lincee - I may be the only one of your readers who has also BEEN to the Offshore Technology Conference! Looking forward to the recap!
Hang in there. The the next generation of sub-sea trees that you have a recap to write, missy!
I've been to the OTC! Don't ditch us for "Engineers Gone Wild" tonight, Lincee. Or if you do, please also recap it.
I am so disappointed in Andrew Firestone. The other day when I was flipping channels (flipping, not watching), I saw that he was on Flavor of Love Ladies Charm School. Andrew was one of my favorite bachelors and now he has sunk to the level of appearing on the Flavor of Love spin off? He should have stayed with Jen…
Just needed to vent and share my disappointment. Thank you
So I wonder if you're familiar with Engicon. In Houston.
Like did anyone notice like how many times like Tessa and Andy like said "like" in their conversation. It was like embarrassing.
In response to the Andy Firestone comment- are you sure that was him. B/c in this weeks US Weekly- it says he's engaged to some chick that is an aspiring actress that also works at his winery.
***Lincee- I hope to hell you noticed this one***
OUR MAN HAS LEARNED HOW TO KISS...somewhat! He actually TURNED his head!! Whoo hoo!
Looking forward to the recaps. Don't get too wild at the convention.
Like I did anon 1:52 and I like felt like I was back in the 7th grade, like totally gag me with at pitchfork.
Yes, I am ashamed to say, that Firestone was on the Flav of Love Charm School. The girls had to "charm" him into picking her, and then he took her to his winery for a party/business presentation.
Oh the levels we will sink to still obtain our 15min. of fame!
FMC Techonologies? I work for the processor for their credit union OCT, do you know Sharon Wallace? ha! Small world...Can't wait for the recap!! :)
Andrew Firestone was only on Flavor of Love to hire a girl to do a presentation not to date him! THANK GOD!!!!
and yes i agree Andy finally looks like he can kiss now :)
Ditto re Andrew Firestone. (I am ashamed to admit I watch Charm School and Flav of Love too.) I didn't watch that particular episode but I was amused at who he picked. As for the Bachelor, I actually felt bad for Bevin last night when she started crying to the camera. I think the final rose will be between her and Tessa.
I'm familiar with OTC & VERY familiar with Canrig. All that technology goes over my head so I'd rather go to all the crawfish boils & BBQ cook-offs that occur during OTC than go to the conference itself!
Can't wait for your re-cap!!
Anyone else getting bored to death with Bevin's whining crybaby routine? Nicole may not have been THE one, but she sure got it right with the "woe is me" act Bevin seems unable to give up!
Bevin has really gotten the manipulation thing down to a science! First it was the injured ankle -- absolutely miraculous how that's healed!! -- and then last night she doesn't seem to find the time to tell Cap'n Andy (at least not before she's chosen as one of the four) the SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT matter of being divorced! Granted, divorce isn't the horrible taboo it once was, but she's been absurdly disingenuous in not telling him long before now. Clearly she wanted to get as much of a hook in him as possible before giving him the news!
Oh so agree with you...Bevin is NUTS!! If he picks Tessa over here I just don't know what I'd do... Um I think you'd take his rose if he gave you one b/c you are psycho and think he's already your boyfriend! If he picks her...I'm liable to throwup at that very moment..then look semi forward (b/c it would just be humanly wrong to look forward to this type of news)...that we hear of his unfortunate accident while traveling w/ his future wife...b/c that girl is already a few cans short of a 6 pack!
AFirestone on Charm School - yes I watch that mess..can't help...funny to comment w/ friends on... that dude is as clueless as he was on Bachelor... I hear Jen is a really nice girl and it may be a good thing they aren't together...seeing as he's still trying to get air time!
Bevin's entire boo hoo wah wah poor me behavior is becoming extremely tiresome. I wanted to throw the remote when she kept complaining about not having the one on one date and not getting alone time with Andy. I guess she forgot about the time she had him all to herself faking her ankle injury at the hospital, then there was the "wah wah I can't do anything" episode in Tahoo (not only did she rudely take time away from the other girls but she got the "extra special time" with him that night) then of course there was last night on kayaks. Give it up Bevin! She is 35..I mean 28 going on 3.
Oh yeah..the whole I haven't had alone date with him and this and that.. um you make alone dates with him on group ones b/c you whine about a non existent pain or look sad or whatever so he can talk to you... tell him then... who cares! woe is me is right!
"I am the most mature 23-year old . . . EVER."
omg! I expected her to say, "The most mature 23-year old I know" which would have been bad (and immature) enough, but the EVER just killed me!
Also, I don't care if Andy is a doctor. He is a friggen moron.
and how about bevin saying she's 28 and that's soooo much more mature than 23? it's only 5 years!
but i seriously doubt that bevin is really 28. she looks older (but acts younger). her desperation shines through...tick tock tick tock. but that can be said of all of the girls on this show. hormones, dreams of marriage and babies.
bevin didn't seem to be hurting too bad when she was riding that trike and slamming her feet into a wall.
I really like tessa after watching last nights episode. It seems like her and Andy actually actually have real chemistry and could really make a relationship work and last.
BTW, he's a MUCh better bachelor than lorenzo was last year. He made me cringe!!!
Bring on the post!!
How about Tina telling OAG that he had something in his teeth! I was so embarrassed for her!!
Umm, so did no one else notice the nice shot of Tessa getting out of the car. You could totally see up her dress.
Lincee....my boss and I just got back from OTC and went to find you at your awesome booth but no one could find you. I hope your real name is Lincee...otherwise I was really embarrased!!
Ha! 4:26pm
That's funny that you say that. Our salesman went to the OTC this afternoon...I told him to go by Lincee's booth & tell her I was looking forward to tonight's post....Lincee is such a celeb!!!
Did anyone else notice in the previews for the Hawaii dates (which they showed after the previews for the home town dates) that the blond Andy's kissing under water does NOT have a massive tattoo on her shoulder!?! I really hope that means psycho Bevin gets sent back to Seattle after the home town dates! I would be shocked if Tessa and Amber weren't in his final three, so that means it's between Bevin and Danielle... and it looks like Danielle might be the dark horse that gets a trip to Hawaii. Can't wait for the recap Lincee!
Lincee stalkers at the OTC...crack me up!
Dear Andy,
I wanted to let you know a teensy thing about my past, we all have pasts right, I mean geesh...ok well I'm DIVORCED. No biggie, oh and I'm 37.
Love, Bev
Lincee-
All I can say is HANDS and LAP from last night!!! PLEEEASE tell me you saw both of those items and will mention them!!! Waiting patiently!
I admit I'm not the most up on this, but I thought Jen dumped AF. Also, she was a complete psycho on her Bachlorette quest.
These posts are cracking me up...Lincee stalkers indeed! Very funny!
Notes-
1) Like, Tessa and Andy, like live in like their own like little world. Like really, I counted, (and promptly forgot) it was, like, 13 times I think.
2) Amber, you are not the most mature 23 year old EVER. That was just silly.
3) Yes, Danielle is totally the darkhorse. I'm still betting on Tessa and Danielle in the final 2. Ok, that's just a guess...I'm not actually spending my children's grocery money to make a real bet, however, I feel pretty confident, sort of.
4)Did anyone else with TIVO/DVR rewind *like* a million times to check the pictures on the bureau as the girls were in the room peeking? I noticed Steph W and Amber's pics on their own shelf. My husband thought I was nuts rewinding and looking for "clues"...I told him that's just what we fans do. Or maybe that's just what I do!!
Can't wait to read your witty wisdom Lincee!
BFF Jenn
1. What was up with the dogtags that Tessa and Andy were wearing at their home town date?
2. Was Dead Boyfriend Girl in a recycled bridesmaid dress at the end?
3. Has Bevin ever laughed...once?
4. Amber's roommate may in fact be one of the dumbest people on earth.
Love ya, Lincee!!
