It's Sheena's turn now and she realizes right away that something isn't correct. She tells Chad that he looks different and he tries to blow it off, but she knows it's not Brad. Cut to Brad in the limo elated that someone finally recognized that his brother isn't him. Chad introduces himself to Sheena and she starts crying. Oh Sheena, relax. Chad thinks it's adorable that Sheena is so moved by the switcheroo, but when Sheena says that Chad doesn't have the same patch of blond hair on his ear that Brad does, I'm a little spooked.
Kristy is up and she immediately says, "You are not Brad!" winning points with everyone. Next Bettina does almost exactly the same thing, realizing Chad is a twin. For some reason DeAnna and Stephy are up together and they start off saying something is different. Chad says he's just really tired, but then he gives it up. Stephy says that either Brad is wearing dentures or she's drunk. Ew, so Chad has gross teeth? Yuck.
Sarah goes next and she says that he looks different, but when Chad says it's stress she totally buys it. She just listens to him for a while nodding with big eyes and never catches on. Strike three!
So after all of that and Brad putting his entire future into the hands of Chad and this one crazy experiment, what do you think Chad has to say about it? He says, "I honestly don't know what you're going to do." And thank you Chad for deserting the Dizzy Rooster and your wife to come all the way out here to trick everyone and figure out nothing. That was a big waste of time. I blame you for making the Bachelor an hour and half again. So the girls all gather and Chris Harrison brings out Brad and then... Chad! Everybody scream! The girls who never caught on feel like idiots, as they should, the others bask in their cleverness. As the girls take turns telling the camera what they think of the trick, Sheena realizes that they are named Brad and Chad and collapses into horrified giggles. Exactly, Sheena.
Chris takes Brad and Chad into the room with the pictures and fills some time by asking what the experiment felt like to each of them. Who cares what the experiment felt like to Brad and Chad? Let's get on with it! Chad votes for Sheena; he really likes her. Brad says Sheena "took him back." That's the second time he's said that tonight. It's taken aback, Brad, not taken back. You're not a returnable item of clothing. He says it again before the episode is through. Chad has the nerve to stand up for McTan Lines, saying she would have figured it out if she had been given a little more time. Uh, no. This was her face when the twins came out together:
She wasn't figuring anything out. Brad gets left alone to look at all the pictures and ponder.
At long last it's the dreaded Rose Ceremony. Hillary, Stephy and Kristy are safe. Brad says he's just going to go with his heart. Here's how it goes: Sheena, McTan Lines (thanks a lot, Chad.), Perky Jenni, Jade, DeAnna, and... ladies, Brad, this is the final rose tonight. When you're ready. Divorced Bettina! So that means Sarah, the Christian, and Lindsey the Model are out. Sarah says she had no idea what went wrong - besides not being able to tell him apart from his brother. Sorry Sarah, you're obviously a huge loser who will never marry a Texas millionaire. Okay, the Christian makes one of the greatest farewell speeches ever, so I'm going to have to quote it.
"It's just upsetting 'cause I feel like I had a stronger connection with him than anybody else did and I was a little more truthful and honest about who I was. Because he did see the very special parts of me because I wear those special parts on the outside. So it's just that those special parts weren't parts that he was looking for, unfortunately."
Um, I'm just going to let that one sit and speak for itself. You all saw the strip show and the lap dance, so draw your own conclusions. Lindsey says she's not going to sit here and cry about something that wasn't right. Then she bawls her head off. She talks about meeting someone and thinking you're going to spend the rest of your life with them, you're going to get a house and have kids, and it hurts to see it end. Lindsey, you didn't have a relationship here, you went on a couple of group dates. Yes it's embarrassing, but you're talking like you guys have been dating for years.

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
