"that handwriting [ on the date card ] looks like it's from a 14 yr old girl... so it's either chris harrison or ben who wrote it." BAH HA HA HA! Good one, Adam!

Audra said...

Yeah you'd think they'd have made him keep Shawntel just for the drama.

Also- she shouldn't be too upset- I mean these relationships never really work out do they? I'm sure he'll be single in 6 months.

Why does that horse girl think that frosted makeup is in? Not 1997 anymore lady.

Lots of train wrecks. I can't wait to watch with you! xo

XOXO said...

Two things. One, did you notice that the promo clips prior to the episode show Shawntel wearing completely different shoes? Am I the only one who noticed that?
And two, I can't believe that he actually likes the Model. She is SO ridiculous and callus and abrasive. Sigh.
Oh, AND, I have a friend who ran into the Monica, the SLC Lesbian, and apparently she is NOT a lesbian, and had NO idea they would portray her that way until the show aired.

Your recaps are probably my favorite part of The Bachelor.

How does one get invited to these viewing parties? ;)

One of my favorites was after the climb to the top of the bridge both Emily and Ben made the comment that 'if they could do this, then they could conquer anything in their relationship.' Pretty sure they have both never had a serious relationship if they truly believe that. lol.

Diana said...

so much tongue in this episode...

heidi and tom said...

Ahhhh reading your recaps makes me feel like I'm watching it with you! So much more entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.

Tara said...

I was bummed he didn't keep Shawntel. That was probably the best episode of the season!

Libby said...

i totally thought that shawntell would be around for a while too! i liked her with Brad and i cant believe how nasty all the girls were being about her! "she has thicker thighs than me which always makes me feel good". wtf!

Libby said...

and I HATE the model and I dont find her attractive at all!

Blake and Allyse Boardman said...

Oh my! I loved EVERY minute of this post. I'm pretty sure I thought exactly like this last night. Reliving it was amazing. I'm moving to New York City in two weeks, I hope there are more gals like yourself out there!

Brandilyn said...

the faces those girls were making during the rose ceremony were ridiculous! the heavy breathing, the ugly cry...oh gosh. and when homegirl went down, "are you anemic?!" hahaha. no, she's just trying to get some air time before she goes home! aaand finally...jaclyn is NOT cute. stop crying. yikes. what an episode!
