Aw shucks, I really liked Lauren. She's the prettiest of them all, but I especially liked the way she tried to push that clown around. Funny as hell -- he's obviously only keeping around the more passive variety. She was just having fun.

As for the rest, they're all strangely deformed (Melissa's rabbit teeth, Stephanie's bowling ball forehead and vanishing eyebrows, Naomi's rubber mouth, etc etc...), aren't they? Lauren was pure hotness.

And yeah, you just know he CHOSE the pink scrubs.

Love your recaps! I am so glad Lauren is gone! She was annoying and so was Shannon.
ps -the dork and the hot girl are just best friends on the show for now.

Wow, I am really missing out here . . . I'm just weeping like Nikki, sniff, why can't my Cable be hooked up nooooooowwww!!!!

Well, not really, love the recap, but I think you missed the part about stalker picking her nose deep and then going in for the kiss. I heard it was almost as attractive as tongue kissing a dog!!!

When I was in college, before I fully sprouted my gay wings, I had a date with a girl who tried to break my spine with her tongue through my mouth, I was literally choking on it, so gross, so when I heard about Megan's kiss, it got me remembering . . . it's amazing how much you can tell in a kiss, ain't it! I can't blame him for not going back for seconds!!!

May I also weigh in on the dork/hot girl topic, I may not exactly be a hot chick, but I so go for big goofy types, I like me some buddah to rub up on, and I can't imagine I'm the only one diggin' on the Kevin James, James Gandolfini and Sean Astin types with my svelte waist . . . is it me!!!!

Itchy, I'm surprised you're a Lauren fan, she looks meh to me in the pics, I still think Melissa is cute, and I like Molly's happy face. I like Steph but she's so, I dunno, matronly . . . . wish her the best tho, however this turns out!

Thanks for the recap, Honey! I'll be wired up in another week or so! Yay!

I love Melissa. I'm biased, b/c I watched her on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders reality show though. She really isn't the stereotypical cheerleader. She and Jillian are my favorites.

I'm pissed that they didn't show us more about Molly other than the make out session. She seems funny, but they really haven't told us as much about her as the other girls.

I'm conflicted about Megan & Shannon being gone. At least they were full of drama.

Since I only read the recaps and don't watch the show. Honey, you are leading me to think that Jason may be looking for a Mommy and a sister for Ty. Of course he has to have fun first and if that means kissing lots of girls so be it.

Aw, I actually think Melissa's cute as a button (other than the teeth). It'd be fun to see the pics of her before the breast reduction though.

I confess that I'm East Coast-centric, so of course I like Lauren. And there's just no way NJ and Seattle would ever work together anyway.

I spent a couple of weeks in Seattle way back when before signing on to a boat up to Alaska...it was like being in a world in slow-motion...

I still think that 'J' is a total twink.

I am confounded by Stephanie. She looks to be at least 45 and she is just weird. She seems like she should be teaching etiquette classes instead of being on the Bachelor. I'm sorry, I am 37 and there is no way this woman is younger than me. As for the cyberstalker, I am glad she is gone. It was painful to watch her and she was extremely unattractive!
Thanks for the great recap. I was waiting for it all week!

I think that Stephanie is a refined Southern lady, and that's why she comes across as Miss Manners. She did show a lot of class with Nikki though. How many of these women would have been squealing and jumping up and down when they got the rose? It's too bad that she has the botox forehead--it is so aging. It seems to me that once you start on botox, you automatically look about 40, even if you aren't.

I think Lauren had watched the Bachelorette and figured that Jason must want to be dominated since he fell for dominatrix DeAnna. But no man wants to be bossed around, they just put up with it if they already like the woman. (IMO) Actually, I did have a boyfriend who had a major problem with making decisions; he would probably have loved being with Lauren.

Itchy, you know I love to give you a hard time, but I hardly think any of these women have imperfections that could be described as deformities. I mean, look at Jason. His nose is HUGE. He's hardly an Adonis. I don't watch the show (maybe I will at the end), but Nikki looks beautiful in the pics I've seen. Poor thing. She IS smart and beautiful enough, but she needs to know that perfection isn't what is required (or wanted). You can't be "perfect" for other people. Therapy is definitely in order.

Yeah, we don't know much about Molly, except that she's slutty (or so they would like us to believe.)

I think the camera is really cruel to some people, while other people just look great on camera, no matter their features.

Or maybe the photogenic types just know how to hold themselves when they're around a camera?

At any rate, in real life I'm sure all of these women are quite beautiful (even the Stalker has a certain charm about her...love the fact that she's a dental hygienist though!).

But when they're on my screen engaged in yet another boring blah-blah-blah-weep-weep-this-is-so-difficult-blah-blah-weep conversation (with Mr. Got-no-personality-do-I-have-to-kiss-these-icky-girls-douchebag), there's nothing else to do but obsess about the weirdnesses of the human face. Until they show another bikini shot.

And yeah, that Stephanie just creeps me out. Like she's a praying mantis and Jason is a cricket. Gulp!

I like Molly and Melissa.

Naomi seems to be in "just a friend" zone. Since he genuinely seems to like her, he probably won't get rid of her until it's just her and the women he likes romantically.

Miss Southern Fried Manners annoys me, just because I grew up with that fake Southern "charm". She's hiding who she is under the "gracious" act. For those who think she was being gracious after getting the rose, check out her expression right after Jason complimented her first during the Decision. Instead of looking at him, she slyly looks at Nikki to gauge her reaction. Unh huh. Nikki didn't do the same thing when it was her turn to be complimented.

Jason's keeping Stephanie around because it's what he think she "should" do. He mentions that word a lot about Stephanie, as in: "She's a single mom, so this should fit."

We'll see...

They're not showing a lot of Jillian anymore. Is this the winner's edit? She is doing pretty well with her under-the-radar strategy.

Btw, I LOVE that Jason "broke the rules" and got rid of the women he didn't like in one group. Bye Stalker, Bitchy, and Bossy!

Wasn't whatshisname that way about DeAnna? He thought that she was the kind of woman he should be with. And I think that is the way DeAnna felt about Jason.

I feel like Jason is thinking about his son when he says those things about Stephanie. So few of these women seem mature enough to be a mother, or a stepmother, which has additional demands.
