At home the girls are doing - what else? - hanging by the pool and Hillary asks for all the girls who didn't want her to come back last night to raise their hands. DeAnna and McTan Lines raise their hands. Well Hillary, you asked. Hillary confessionals that DeAnna and McTan Lines are straight up witches. Oh, and I suppose you don't want to be the one Brad chooses, right Hillary? Please. You wouldn't want them to come back either and you know it, so why even go there?
Sheena decides that now is her chance to shine with her boating experience so she and Brad race around on a couple of wave runners. Sheena wave runs circles around Brad, but apparently she gets a little too risky out there because the next thing you know the Coast Guard is approaching, sirens blaring. They are escorted back to their boat where Sheena lies down in shame. It seems they have been restricted to only one wave runner at a time, so Brad takes Bettina out with him and they zoom around for a while. No Coast Guard intervention this time. Bettina tells us that she totally fell in love with Brad while looking at the back of his head on the wave runner. That's deep. Back on the boat Brad tells Bettina that she has everything he is looking for. And... he knows this how? Oh because she's pretty. Wait, she's also sweet. Wow, he's hard to please. Sweet and pretty. And most girls don't act sweet and pretty on the first two dates, do they? Come on Brad. If that's it then why aren't you married a dozen times over? He starts asking about Bettina's past relationships so she decides it's time to lower the boom and tell him about the big divorce. She seems totally uncomfortable talking about it - even though she says she doesn't mind - but she stammers through her explanation of how it was short lived and just not right. All Brad tells us is that he didn't expect that.
"No I love talking about this. Really."
It's time for Brad to present the rose. Without much fanfare he gives it to Kristy, saying he was happy to see her fun side and that she's beautiful. Jade looks really annoyed - ha ha! You should have pretended to put your arm around him, Jade! Bettina is afraid that her divorce may have ruined her chances. But Bettina, don't forget you're everything he's looking for.

Ah, good stuff!
Would someone please tell me why McCarten and Jade are still in this? Is there ever a moment when Jade isn't smirking or glaring? Ugh, and McCarten is just dreadful!
My vote is also for DeAnna.
And on a side note...Did anyone see the article on Mayo being sent to Iraq? He leaves in January, and apparently, this is why they ended their engagement.
Ummmm...what's-her-name was dating a military man...did she NOT see the possibility beforehand???

Great recap, Honey!
Yes, in my neck o' the woods (California), I have heard those little chocolate sprinkles called "jimmys", too.
I LOVED that Sheena laughed at Brad and Chad's names!
Thank God that Ho-lisa is gone...her sluttiness vs. her "morales" was getting so old.
Once again, fabulous job, Honey!

Brad is the best Bachelor yet. He actually laughs and doesn't seem like he is reading lines the whole time.
The only way I could see the girls not realizing it was Brad was if they were very very drunk. Chad and Brad were very different.

I forgot to ask in my first post, but does Brad remind anyone of Dr. Phil? I swear his voice sounds just like him!!!!
But, I agree...he really is the best bachelor this show has had.
He just seems real.

I haven't watched the bachelor in YEARS...maybe since the 3rd season. I happned by your recap and you made me laugh so hard, I went to the ABC.com full episode viewer, watched the 3 shows thus far, and read all your recaps. FAB-U-LOUS snarky.
My observations on this double-your-pleasure-double-your-fun (I can write such a corny thing, as I Am A Twin, too. And have had to deal with corny crap like that spewed at my my whole life!) segment.
~ I agree with post #1. McCArtan and Jade MUST GO. Jade is a fairly unattractive Biatch, and McCartan should have been history after her ill fated, unwanted, poorly timed kiss way back when.
~ Did anyonre else notice that BRAD had a clearly visable tan line where his wedding ring previously resided??!!
~ Good riddance Solisa....who claims to be an "Esthetician". My A$$ She is defintely a stripper. Her "special parts" are her fake boobs and collagen lips. That parting speach was a classic. What a knucklehead.
~ Please, Brad.....DON'T SAVE THE CHEERLEADER

Great recap. I'm glad that you noticed McTan Lines' shocked facial expression when the BradandChad "twins" came out. So Chad's stupid, basically. We have him to thank for McCanteen still being in the race, because Brad's ego booted out everyone that couldn't tell the difference between him and his brother. Who would've thought a guy (who obviously spends hours in a gym) wants to be loved for qualities other than his looks - especially a guy who's on a dating show choosing between 25 bachelorettes without a piggy or extremely unattractive girl in the bunch.
Boooooo Jade! Thank God she won't be getting a rose in the next show (I'm psychic).
My prediction: Jenni and Deanna will be the final two.

Sheena reminds me of the mom from Friday Night Lights, so I like her. i doubt she will last though.
Its annoying that Brad likes Jenni, what the? Anyone is better than McCarten though, please.
By the way I'm in love with your recaps,"the clowns hang their heads in shame" sweet.

The bachelor has this going for him (and I knock on wood as I say it cause it might just happen in the very next episode) - he hasn't yet set up "challenges" to "win him" by doing retarded things like drink mixing contests and other totally irrelevant activities that comprise his interest. Like that stupid idiot Mayo who made the women run around in a bikini doing a tri-athalon. UGH! Infuriating.
My money is on Jenni too. And her scrapbook..hahah
