single? but i saw his pics with a girl on intimatemingle.com which is a dating site for interracial singles. i think they are dating? do you believe it?

This comment above me made me laugh out loud and I don't even know why. All I could think about was Dawali and Matt Grant, and Michael Scott was also involved.

Really funny recap - i was so excited to see that you are recapping again.

Shayne/Anna Nicole comments were hilarious. I also that that little pink dress from Vegas looked like a really really angry baby in the face. Weird.

I didn't mind Matt that much; I actually thought it was funny that he said he usually armwrestles only women, and they usually have to be pregnant. That part with him humping the phone booth when the lady walked out of it was a little unsettling though. Maybe he was trying to go to the Ministry of Magic!

What is up with these girls impressing the bachelor with arm wrestling and clarinet playing?? The worst had to be the girl who was "really good" at rocks/papers/scissors. Oh really? You're really good at a game that requiress no intellect or skill? How are you still single???

Looking forward to the rest of the season!

I would much rather read your blog than watch the show (way more entertaining.) Keep it coming Honey Gangsta!

They keep repeating that Matt is the first international bachelor, but wasn't there an Italian prince on a few years ago?

This is my first time watching The Bachelor from the beginning. Boy howdy am I apparently in for some fun.

Great recap. I loved that drunk woman with the panties. Bet she felt wonderful at her Northwestern grad school watching party (or wherever she's from).

I also kept thinking of Brad Womack, and the two women he jilted at the end of last season. Do you think he's watching this one?

This was my favorite line of the whole show:

Marshana: "I don't want to say anything negative, but...Stacey's a bitch. I'm sorry. She's loud, belligerent, tasteless, tacky, classless, she's riding my nerves like a pony!" And she has her eyes closed with passion.

Hmm, that does like someone who doesn't want to say ANYTHING negative.

This sounds like someone I've been having to spend time with - I don't want to sound like I'm....but here I go doing it.

You know the producers encouraged the ladies before they even arrived to impress the bachelor with their special skills (ie rock paper scissors) hahaha. So they pack their clarinet and aluminum beer can.

I wonder if they also encourage them to wear long prom dresses. There's a way to be cute in a little cocktail dress - no need for the floor length wedding dresses for their TV Debut.

I'm undecided about Matt Grant. I think his douchy-ness might be awkward goofiness which I am a big fan of. But its too soon to tell. They've all pretty much sucked, so not sure what can be diff this time.

My god, where do they get these women?

At the same time, I had to feel for the panty lady, as you know, I think I would drink too much at the party as well, and try to french the Bachelor or something.

I mean, don't you want him to remember you?

Well, yes of course, that is why I will now play "If I Were A Rich Man" on the spoons and do an interpretive dance expressing my feelings about the sub-mortgage thing.

Wow.

This is going to be fun.

I love your blog! This is my favorite Bachelor show so far and I can't wait to follow with you for this season too!

I swear I'm not making this up. I have a deaf Australian Shepherd (he has a real name, but most people just call him "Deaf Dog"). Anyway, I'm sitting here watching episode 2, with Deaf Dog sleeping at the other end of the couch. Then Carrie starts her opera singing and Deaf Dog all of a sudden pops his head up and looks around the room in confusion. I think Carrie's opera was so high pitched and awful that even a deaf dog couldn't stand it.

This dude is terrible... he's not cute and seems to have no personality. These girls aren't that cute either (so I guess it's a good match!). I think we're in for a boring season but we'll see.

OMG, Lucy990 I'm laughing my ass off picturing your dog trying to figure out how he can find/silence that hellified noise! ("What in the hell...?")

Great recap, Honey G!! Every season I swear I'm going to wean myself off of watching this stupid show, but I fear that I'm hooked yet again. *sigh*

I'm curious to see how far the token "sista" gets...we always seem to be cut in the very first rounds, alas.
