   What the hell is wrong with me? I can’t hate this show. I can’t hate Sean. I can’t even laugh at most of the girls because four of them are just such obvious sweethearts (for realsies!). Fortunately there’s still Denthead. And the orphan with the fake tits. But when they go, what’ll I do?

   I’m pretty sure that was Danielle who asked if the goats were dogs. So yeah… thunder thighs…weird mouth thing…and stupid… See ya!

   At this point, you can see how impatient Sean is to get rid of Tierra. But the producers are forcing him to hang in there… just a couple more episodes, promise, then you can cut ‘er loose. Promise!

   I think everyone received one of those flannel shirts — I’m sure it’s just a bit of product placement. Didn’t work out so well, since, well, there’s just plain flannel shirts, rights?

   And I’m pretty sure the whole “eating fish” thing was about how going on a date with Sean was enough to turn any woman into a lesbian. Something like that.

   Sorry. Too much wine.

   But it was time for both Selma (who is clearly more like 39 than 29, by the by) and Sarah to skedaddle. Selma’s silicon looked like it was starting to drip off her face. And Sarah’s face kept looking more and more pinched together. She was starting to look like Popeye. Minus the spinach arms. Ouch!

   Okay, Okay, I’ll stop. But not before admitting that, if I were 30, I’d grab that Leslie and sexy raccoon eyes and her baby-making hips in a heartbeat. Gush. Shh! Don’t tell Mrs. Itchy!

   I vote Lindsay as “Most likely to do the walk of shame” – she is like the silly drunk sorority girl that banged a brother every nite and rose at dawn, shoved her panties in her pocket and hit the door. All sleeze no substance.

   LOVE the fact that The Bachelor is turning into the X-Games, Survivor, Real World Road Rules Challenge and Jackass all rolled into one! Now you need “to prove” your love by doing stupid, rediculous and sometimes dangerous stunts. The risk is there and hopefully the reward of one of these bimbo’s tell the Bachelor and the producers to go fuck themselves. At least the Glacial Waters of beautiful Lake Louise probably froze off the genetial warts and other STD’s lurking about.

   Next Destination – Pamplona Spain to meet the bulls then off to Niagra Falls for a barrel of fun then San Quinten Penitentury for a bikini beach party / meet & greet.

   I tried watching this show but only got about 3 episodes in I don’t know why I couldn’t hang in there cuz I watch some fucking travesties and figured this show would be a breeze! Anywho, 2 quick things, is the 1 arm girl still in the horse race (I really liked her), and I live in Seattle now but was raised in Montana and although you couldn’t pay me to live there it’s one of the most beautiful and majestic places in the country if not the whole world

   Ok, did anyone notice that Tiara was eating a hamburger right before Sean walked into her room? If you were freezing your tits off, and couldn’t feel your toes, your ass wouldn’t be eating a fucking hamburger! What a hoe!

   I thought the one on one date with Desiree looked fun. Well I am afraid of heights, and would have probably shit my pants the whole way to the ground!

   Did anyone else notice that when Catherine and Sean went to dinner it wasn’t snowing, They left in the horse caridge and there was snow. But when they showed a shot of the hotel it was snowing… Like you could see someone from productions foot prints in the snow, but for the rest of the time it was sunny, yet probably freezing, then when they go to the Rose ceremony, it was snowing again, and then they showed the same shot, with the foot prints…

   I was thinking that wow, Montana…woo sounds like fun. They must have spent all their money on Brad’s second season….But next week they are in St. Croix..wait I think that is how you spell it.

   @niknacflipflop, I live in WA too. about 30 minutes north of Seattle.

   @itchy: There are a lot of genuinely sweet girls this season. Of the ones remaining, I think I’m rooting for Catherine and Desiree. I was pulling for Sarah, but now she’s gone. I’ve been seeing a lot of demand for her as a “Bachelorette” at some point. I can deal with Sean, but I’m starting to get sick of his “I’m the man I have to protect my women” attitude.

   @haw cawfee: If I drank every time some electronic device was a jerk to me, I’d be drunk 24/7! Hahaha.

   @Considerthis: The challenges are just getting more and more ridiculous. They really are just turning it into “Survivor.” Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure “Survivor” has a better track record when it comes to its contestants getting married.

   @niknakflipflop: Yes, Sarah and her stump are gone. Sean dumped her on the group date in Canada.

   @thisbuggs4u: I didn’t notice the burger! I wish I had! Not that we needed any more proof that Tierra is faking everything.

   @PopePhilly I hope you’re going to take some time and rest up from having to watch 4 hours of this mess. Did you take a break in between? I had to.

   “No one on the planet thinks that Sean will actually marry the woman who wins”

   The fundamentalist Bachelorians do. Even some of the moderates.

   And those Bachelor cliches are like prayers for them. That’s how come no matter how much ABC calls itself changing things up. They’ve got to keep their Words of Power in there.

   (I spend way too much time reading internet comments)

   Okay, quick break from reading the recap – but what about Fifty Nifty? Did anyone else sing Fifty Nifty? Fifty Nifty United Staes, from 13 original colonies… Shout ‘em, something, tell all about ‘em, one by one till we get the job done… ALabama, Alaska, etc etc…

    And oh my god, that picture of Tierra with her mouth blurred out looks like it’s a horror movie and there’s either someone creeping up behind her OR she has a shadow self that’s a monster.

    Of course, of all the girls, Lindsay still seems like the perfect match for this guy. You know her general daddy raised her in that same “man as boss of the house” spirit that Sean has. Plus, you just know she’ll be a total firecracker in bed.

    Sarah did seem sweet, if a bit … dim. As in not the brightest light. As in, lucky for her, she’s pretty. The real problem though is she’s a freak, brought on the show to be a freak. I feel sorry for her that this is so (though clearly she agreed to do it). But that’s how it is. It would have been more honest with her if she’d have come on the show with a prosthetic — she used to have one, how come she never talked about why she doesn’t use one now? And why did she always insist on wearing clothing with no sleeves? Even her outdoor clothes were vests with no sleeves! So yeah, she just made my spider sense tingle too much.

    As for Denthead’s burger — from the looks of her in that bikini, she’s had many more burgers before that one. She’s got the body of a (pudgy) 12-year-old.

    Also: That Burning Love series is excellent. Usually these produced-for-the-web series suck. But this one is really funny! All of the episodes are on youtube too!

    Yeah, it also seemed to me that Denthead was taking her sweet ass time to get into the water and then back out. All the other girls, ran in and out. Dent just kind of stood there, then when everyone else was out, ran and jumped in then walked back out…the dumb bitch!

    WHOOOO I’m done! Hilarious recap as always PP…
    You know, reading a Bachelor recap is a lot like being in a relationship – there are frustrating times, and there are a lot of opportunities for fun, and you really learn a lot about communication…
    I want you to know – I laughed HYSTERICALLY at the picture of Selma that was a “gif.” That was good. I bow to you.
    And I’m on Team Lesley. I like Catherine and Desiree too, but Lesley’s my favorite- I definitely nominate her for Bachelorette if Sean dumps her.

    @kthxbai: I wrote this over two nights. I wrote the first episode on Wednesday and the second episode last night. I usually prefer to write straight through, but I needed to sleep and go to work at some point. Haha.

    @Dashley: I did “50 Nifty” as well, but I never liked that one. I don’t know why. I still sing “50 States in Rhyme” if I ever have to list the states for some reason. Glad you liked the Selma “gif.” I cracked up when I wrote it, so I’m glad that it wasn’t just as funny in practice as it was in my head. I think Lesley could be a good Bachelorette. She’s even got the Bachelorette look.

    @Itchy: Denthead (I’m totally using that forever now) is what one of my favorite authors (A. J. Jacobs) referred to as “skinny-fat” in one of his books. She looks like she’s pretty thing, but she’s just horribly out of shape. After next week, I’ll finally have a moment to sit down and watch “Burning Love.” I hear so many good things about it!

    @thisbuggs4u: I saw that too with Tierra getting out of the water. Had she just run back to get in a robe with the others, she probably would have been OK…assuming the whole “hypothermia” thing was real.

    I like Lesley. I think he will pick her. His conversations with her just seem more genuine and easy than with the other girls. And he did ask her what she thought of the Tierra situation when the other girls just try to blurt things in his face. AND he said he thought his wife was on the loser blue team. Team Lesley! Or maybe Desiree. Or Lindsay. Shit, I don’t know.
