The Bachelor Recap #4...and it keeps getting better!

I am so excited to be sitting on my couch, watching the Bachelor while blogging on my new MacBook.  I am the proud new owner of an Apple!  Yea...!

Ok, here we go.  There will be 3 dates with roses, a 1 on 1, group and a 2 on 1.

For the 1 on 1 date the girls will have to write and perform a song for Jason (remind you of last season?).  Impressions...Molly is to silly, Stephanie is a total pageant girl and Nikki is control freaking out because she is so anal!  I don't know how she is going to be as a mom...maybe that will relax her a bit!  Shannon is rapping, oh no!  

STEPHANIE...DID SHE REALLY WEAR THAT AND SING THAT????  Nikki sang a song that she would want to sing to her baby.  She did good, but that wasn't really the point.  

1 on 1:  Jason and Molly (she won the song sing-off) --"Let's stay home tonight at my place"

I am so glad to see Jason have a regular (non-slut) date.  This would so totally be my kind of date.  Eating fast food while sitting on a blanket on the floor - Love it!  How cute, next the go outside on a blanket, next to a tent and make smores.  Yumm-o!  Ok, I have to admit, at first I wasn't a Molly fan, but hearing her talk kind of make me like here more.  I just don't know if she is ready for Jason's life.  She does get the rose and a kiss...lots of kissing!

The date is dragging on and it is getting late.  Of course psycho Shannon is lurking in the dark waiting for Molly's return.  She is so crazy.  Do we really need to hear the moaning going on inside the tent?  I think not!  Jason drops her off in the morning.  She totally struts inside in his clothes.  Did you get the feeling she walked in to show off?  That had to rub the girls the wrong way.

Group Date: Jillian, Lauren, Shannon, Megan, Melissa and Naomi --"Want to Play Doctor?"

Do you notice how many girls are wearing scarfs this season?  The go to the set of "General Hospital".  That would be fun, but I don't know anything about soaps.  So, this show quickly goes back to "slut-dates".  They are going to do a kissing scene.  Of course, psycho Shannon offers to do the first kiss.  I really don't like this date.  I don't think it is fair to kiss him in front of other people, I don't like it at all.  Not at all!  Totally awkward!  I loved Jillian's crazy blond wig.  She is so funny!!!  

Ok, this is Megan's scene.  She is in a little black nightie thing.  I seriously DO NOT like her at all.  She attacks his face.  Like, totally attacks his face!!!!  I think it is safe to say that she has a lot of pent up sexual energy.  Bye Bye Megan (please don't give her a rose, please!!!).

After that, they go to a nightclub to hang out.  Naomi is sitting by herself, so Jason steps in and takes the damsel in distress downstairs to talk.  Good move Naomi!  Way to get alone time with him.  I really like Melissa.  She had a really hard time with this date and seeing the girls kiss Jason.  She seems so open and ready to be with Jason in a sincere way.  I think Megan and Melissa are total opposites.  Do you agree?  Oh my goodness.  Megan had one on one time with Jason and he didn't kiss her and she really, really wanted him to kiss her.  She is crazy.  Does anyone like her?  I vote that Shannon and Megan go bye bye!  

Lauren and Jason have one on one time.  Now, last week, Jason and Lauren had some chatting time where Lauren ratted out how mean Megan is.  That was why there was so much drama at the rose ceremony.  So, tonight, she was bad mouthing Megan again.  Not really a topic I would want to keep bringing up on all my one on one times.  I'm not a Lauren fan either.  

Ok, now Melissa has some one on one time.  I like her!  She immediately starts crying.  That would so be me!  She shared that the date was hard for her because she realized that she really likes him.  It was so sweet and innocent and honest.   ARGGGGGGG!  Psycho Shannon interrupts their one on one time!!!  She forces the next one on one time with him.  (Someone bring out the straight jacket!)  (Someone, get a restraining order...she keeps saying "you can't let me go, I'm not letting you let me go")  She really just blew her snotty nose in front of him, and picked her nose.  Yuck.  Their kiss was so weird.  Rejected.

Naomi got the group date rose.

2 on 1: Stephanie and Nikki (I hope Nikki goes home)

I really don't know who is going to go home.  Nikki is so OCD, but Stephanie seems a little to formal for him.  Once again, the girls get fancy, picked-out clothes.  So pretty woman (again)!  Jason picks the girls up in this amazing old school car and go to a fancy restaurant.  They begin by bringing out a ballroom dance instructor to learn to waltz.   Stephanie was totally in her element but poor Nikki was not looking so hot!  Poor Jason didn't look that comfortable dancing with Stephanie because she looks so elegant and professional.  OME!  Nikki just stole Jason from Stephanie..Oh no she didn't!  Stephanie just stole him back from Nikki.  I feel the claws coming out!  It was almost becoming a game of stealing the man candy.  

I was surprised at how Nikki was really sticking her neck out there with opening up.  She told Jason for the first time that she was in a serious relationship for 11 years.  I couldn't believe that she hadn't told him about that relationship before.  Then he gets one on one time with Stephanie.  I like her, but at times she is a bit to much.  Too passionate.  Too focused.  Too in control.  Too much!  

Dum Dum Dum...he has the rose....and it goes too

STEPHANIE!!!!  Yea!  You could totally tell that Stephanie was just devastated for Nikki. Stephanie is a truly genuine woman.  At the end of the night, she finally get her kiss.

Rose Ceremony:  

I love Jillian's dress.  Super sexy purple strapless dress with a dangerously low cut back!  Love it, Love her!  I really hate Shannon's dress!  It was like a crocheted white top with red layered bottom.  Not good!  Lauren gives him way to much crap, almost like a little, annoying sister! Bossy!  She is so going home.  

Roses go to:  Melissa, Jillian, I KNEW IT!!!!  I totally new he wasn't going to give out the last rose.  His choices were Psycho Megan, Psycho Shannon or Bossy Lauren.  I have ESP!!!  Yea for Jason to not give out a tag along rose!  Ohhh, Megan is about to blow up the beeping machine!  (Molly, Naomi and Stephanie already have roses)

Going home: Megan (yea!), Shannon (yea!) and Lauren (yea!)

Next week, he gets to see Ty and brings the girls to Seattle.  (HELLO?  When does DeAnna come back?)

Until next week, let me know our thoughts?  

Milestone

Today was a big day! Gage has been more interested in the Elmo Potty this week, often asking to go "Pee-Pee on Elmo". So, I have been taking advantage of that, as well as his new found talent of removing his clothes. He has even gone into his bathroom, alone and without prompting, to use the potty. Come comes back so proud of himself and we do the Pee-Pee Dance. Today, he was enjoying his nakedness and went into the bathroom, alone, and shut the door. Then, we hear a cry type scream. My mom goes in there to find poo-poo in the potty. Holy Moly Ya'll! My kid pooped on the potty all by himself. This was a first! So, he got extra candy for that task. Hopefully I can keep encouraging the potty training at his speed and we can say bye bye to the diapers and hello to the big boy undies!

(Oh and don't forget to subscribe to my blog and get email notification of new post. They don't send junk mail and it is pretty cool...just look to the right and put your email in!)

What in the world is taking me so long to post these dang bachlor recaps?!?! I don't have a good answer, except that when I had my Bachelor viewing party on Monday night with Cindy and Dylana, they stayed until 11pm and we never turned on the tv. Then, on Tuesday I watched the Practice and Grey's after the kids went to bed. Last night I talked on the phone with my stepmom for 95 minutes and then watch Gossip Girls, Season 1, in my bed. So, I have priorities. Sorry to leave you hanging.


Ok, here we go...

This was episode #3 which consisted of 1 group date and 2 1 on 1 dates.

Stephanie

Date #1: Jason and Stephanie (formerly known as Botox Face, I will cease calling her that because now I actually really like her...for a couple reasons. #1, she was wearing my favorite jeans...MEK. #2, she seems like a really sweet and lovely lady who I want to be happy and find love!). So, for their date they went to the beach where, (not really a surprise because we saw it in the preview from last weeks show...thanks for the spoiler alert ABC) Jason surprised her with Sophie. It was her 4th birthday and did their reunion just not make ya'll ball? I was emotional, it was just too sweet. They did lots of fun things at Legoland, someplace I would love to take Gage and Jillian one day. The thing that got me on this date was that they did not show the end. They showed Sophie drive away on the limo, Jason and Stephanie hugging each other and then BAM, they move on to the group date. Did they kiss? Did they eat dinner? Did they get in a fight? We will never know. I think we should contact the editing department at ABC and let them know there was a problem!

Date #2: Group Date: Shannon, Naomi, Melissa, Carrie, Jillian, Nikki, Erica, Megan...there may be more, but that is what I could write down.

I like to call this the "Slut Date". Not because of the girls that were there, but because of what they did and how they did it. They went to make a mold of their bust...aka their boobs. Now, it was for a good cause, breast cancer, however, they had it set up like a porn movie. They girls would go behind these sheer curtains, which were back lite so you could see their silhouettes very definitely...like, I could tell which girls were cold! Then, once they were covered, Jason got to go back there and help apply the gluey paper stuff over their boobs and help smooth it out. Seriously, that was slutty. Not a fan of that date.

Some things that stuck out. I really do not like horse teeth girl. She is psycho. I think that Nikki is way to up-tight, controlling and inflexible to be a mom, stepmom, or good girlfriend at this point. Melissa, the DCC told Jason she had a breast reduction...odd moment there. He ended up giving Jillian the rose for that date...YEA!!!! I love Jillian.

Megan

I am not a fan of Megan, she is, like, totally, a complete and, like, utter airhead. Example, she asked if a woman could breastfeed after she had a mastectomy. Really? Megan, in the words of my son, "Stop talkin' ". Megan also has a very unattractive potty mouth.

Date #3, Jason and Natalie

Poor Natalie. She is just so not Jason's type. She is a trophy wife type of girl. She was late for the date (I was not a fan of the shoes she picked out either). They had a pretty woman style date...are you seeing a trend? She had the fancy necklace, a private jet, a helicopter ride, then Vegas.

When Jason wants to see if he could get her to get more personal, she responds...

"I love bears."
Jason: "What kind of bears...?"
Natalie: "I love all kinds of bears."
...crickets....crickets...crickets...

Needless to say, she left without a rose and was sent home to curse out the limo camera guy. Nice.

Rose Ceremony: Drama with Megan...shocker. Lauren told Jason that Megan is mean. Shannon (teeth girl) pukes under the pressure.

In the end, Erika and Kari went home.

Until next week...let me know your thoughts. And seriously, when is DeAnna coming???

The Bachelor Recap According to Linsey...Episode 2

Oh man. I don't know if I could handle the emotional drama and psychological warfare these ladies put themselves through on this show. Seriously, it would be to much. Ok, on to the show!

Jason decided to play it cool and surprise the girls poolside to see what they are like without being able to prepare for his arrival. How convenient that he chose the pool (where they would be half naked and wet) to meet them. If he wants to see the real them he should have come late at night when they are in their stretchy pants, their hair in a nest on the top of their head and their faces dotted with zit cream. But hey, this is tv, so I will let it slide.

They all are chatting around the pool, ladies taking him away, Jason doing the same. The awkward moment goes to Botox Face, who, made margaritas for Jason and herself and then proceeded to stand, awkwardly, next to Jason and the girl. Good plan, however, Jason never looked at her. Maybe he couldn't see her, but I did feel bad for her. The twist, I know, you are shocked there would be a twist, was that...dum dum dum...there would be a rose given away. The receiver of this rose would get a one on one date that evening with Jason. It went to Jillian. Now, I don't know most of the girls' names on this show yet (hence the use of botox face), however, I really like Jillian, and she has a fabulous name!

Jason and Jillian: Their date was awesome. They went on a date to some architectural dream of a building where Robin Thicke sang to them. Oh man, Robin Thicke is a hottie. I first saw him on Oprah (when I used to watch that show many moons ago). You should be listening to him now, if not, turn up yo speaka' sista'! (A bit of getto slang for you!) Jillian got the first kiss...how dreamy!

Jason and Melissa: The second date went to Melissa (the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader). I like her too. Their date started off good, they were walking on the beach where they came across a table with wine and yummy things. Their conversation was good as well. She wants to be a teacher, 1st grade, and loves kids, wants a family. My concern with her is her age, but hey, everyone is different. Then came the blimp. Really, if I guy asked me out, I said yes, and then I found out we were going to ride in a blimp...seriously, a blimp, I don't know how I would feel about that. Helicopter, yes; private plane, yes; stretch limo, yes; blimp, um, that is weird. What did ya'll think? She got a kiss too, regardless of the blimp.

Oh, some interesting things about Melissa. This is her first date (kiss) in 3 years. Man, Dallas boys, she is a cutie. I don't know why she hasn't dated.

Then came the group date. It had Natalie, Kari, Molly (who said her talent was kissing...slutty), Nikki (who had one boyfriend her whole life for 11 years and has only kissed him), Naomi, the chubby girl with long hair, Megan and two more girls I can't remember. They had a "Pretty Woman" style date. They went to a ritzy store where they got to pick out their outfit. It was weird, but hey, it is ABC. I don't remember a lot about this date, so I will move on.

Rose Ceremony: Sharon and Raquel (the stalker waiting in the car) went home.

Next Weeks Questions: When is DeAnna coming? Will he keep her there? Why is he keeping horse teeth girl? Will I start really liking Botox Face after I see her with her daughter? Seeing the previews of that almost made me cry! It was so sweet. Ok, let me know what you thought!!!

Tackle!

The Bachelor

Oh how I love to escape life and enjoy the ridiculous drama of the Bachelor. This season will prove, once again, to be full of cattiness, make-outs, breakups, tears and surprises....I would expect nothing less from ABC!

Jason...originally on the Bachelorette with DeAnna. (Side Note: I am still mad at her. She got mad at Brad for not picking her at the final rose ceremony, but then accepts a proposal from Jesse, which she then proceeds to dump after they were living together...that ain't right). Jason is a single dad whose wife divorced him a few years ago. I said before, and I will say again, I think he has some kind of issue. Maybe anger, maybe jealousy, but something.

I am not going into all the women because, well, I have kids and there are just to many to talk about. I will mention a few, but not by name because I am too lazy to look at the website. If I were to say "botox face" would you know who I was talking about? Sad story, but seriously, ladies, lets us that as an example of when to say no to the plastic surgeon. What about the "vision board girl". There is always one of those, the older(est) girl on the show who, although seems somewhat normal has become a bit crazed in her quest to find a man. Plus, I think she goes to yoga too much! I LOVE the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, maybe not for Jason, but just because I loved her in the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders show! Of course, we can't forget all the drama between stealing Jason away, the drunk ones, the dancers and the ones with written words for their love Jason...OH, what about the stalker, teeth girl. She was the dental hygienist...watch out for that one Jason. I don't really have a favorite yet. There was a blond teacher that I liked, I think she taught history. I vote for her!

Two twists this season: They had a box for the girls to vote out someone they think "isn't right" for Jason, when in reality, they are going to vote off the prettiest one who poses the most competition. ABC knows what they are doing in the create drama department. The girls ended up voting out the single mom of a 14 month old (that is Jillian's age). However, the plan backfired in their face as the twist was really that the votes gave her a rose instead of giving her the boot. I didn't like that twist at all. Not a fan of that girl, and not a fan of the elimination voting box.

Second twist: DeAnna will return. Ya'll, I think he is going to pick her. I do. I don't know exactly what I think of that, or her, or them, but I'll ponder my thoughts and fill you in.

Ok, I am off. Promise to have more pictures and details as the show goes on. I am just not a fan of the beginning. I don't like all the drama and competition. I like to watch the dates and get to know the girls and how they work with Jason. So, let me know your thoughts, favorite and opinions on all the Bachelor!
