Hello beloved fans of The Bachelor! As you may or may not know, this last week some rumors started circulating on the interweb involving a Bachelor scandal of epic proportions. I have no idea if the rumors are true and I have no idea if I care if the rumors are true. I don't want to post any spoilers, so I'm just going to keep talking about what ABC deems us so lucky as to view. The truth will come out... eventually... and we'll all have a good laugh when it does. Now off to New Zealand!
Jason greets us in full purple regalia to tell us that he is still totally confused about which girl to choose, even after the hometown dates, which were supposed to clear everything up. Well, there's nothing left to do except to bid Ty another fond farewell and take the three remainders to New Zealand.
We go all the way back over Jillian's history on the show again and Jason tells us that he hopes in New Zealand to discover a romantic spark with her. Apparently as amazing as Jillian is, Jason's not sure this is the stuff marriage is made of. Oh Jason, you don't know what you're talking a-boat. Next, Molly has purty eyes... yawn. Did you know that they slept together in a tent on their first date? Melissa used to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She also wants to be a teacher and a mom. Does any of this sound familiar, or are you saying it out loud along with Jason by now? This is what happens in two hour episodes, people. Never mind the days on end of filming - we will be shown the same three minutes over and over and over. One last thing. Melissa's parents refused to come on camera. Get out!

Now Jason is in New Zealand for Fantasy Time. He's so super excited because he gets to have three amazing dates and then sleep with all three girls! He's double super excited because he KNOWS that his wife is one of these girls.
Well, once a-gane Jillian is up first and the producers have come up with something very unique and different - a helicopter ride. Are you kidding me? I think I almost qualify for a helicopter pilot's license just from watching this show.

Jason and Jillian are dressed like twin farmers, both in plaid flannel shirts and jeans. They soar around the sky wondering if life gets any better than this. Not for Jason, that's for sure. The chopper hovers down near a cliff and the pilot decides he's had enough and kicks both of them out without even landing. That's okay with Jason and Jillian because now they can have a romantic stroll on top of the cliff! Coincidentally, there is a picnic basket and blanket spontaneously lying around just waiting for a happy couple to adopt it. They sit down and toast to each other and then Jillian wants to know how Jason would describe her to someone else. He comes up with something ever so eloquent and detailed: fun. Wow, Jillian you should feel honored. As for Jason, Jillian thinks he is attractive, interesting, fun and just all around spectacular. Basically she wants to be with a guy who is her best friend. And she can safely say she's falling in love with Jason. Jason says he could be friends with Jillian forever, but he is looking for more passion. They stand on the edge of a cliff and Jason says that this is exactly how their relationship is - you know a cliffhanger. Oh yes, I am just jumping out of my seat to see how this is going to turn oat.

Honey you are hysterical! There are too many funny things in your recap to comment on them all. Let's just say I was actually sitting here laughing out loud by myself. I was also completly sucked in by Chris Harrison's promo for next week that I HAD to read the spoilers that are floating around. I like Jillian and for that reason I am glad she got the boot.

This season has been anything but dramatic. Wasn't DeAnna supposed to come back this episode? So many commercials for it...and then nothing happened. I'm guessing, too, that nothing else in this season will be dramatic.
It's not the show that lets me down (I know what I'm getting into there)...it's the stupid commercials and teasers. Enough with the lies!

Thanks for expressing my disdain Honey, I can't believe I started this one out liking Jason . . . and after all that, is he straight?! I'm so confused. What a f in' dog to do all that with passionless Jill and then dump her ass--I do think she's a big part of the "emotion and shock" in the upcoming "let's keep repeating everything so that when we're all in nursing homes we can reflect back on the wonderful adventures of Jason and his angels" . . . barf!!! I never watch these, but If hotdog girl can make him squirm it might be worth it.
I also extensively read all the spoilers, as if I really care how this ends, I must say sounds like a bunch of bull. I think it's going to be shocking coz he got so close to three vajayjay's in such a short time, he's now certain that he's gay, and next time on the bachelor, we'll have a bevy of clueless mo gentlemen looking for the love of their life, only they can't get married . . . .sigh . . . coz it's not legal, so the end will be an exchange of cockrings with locks around their necks!
Gee, I'm awfully sorry about all that, I don't know why I'm so filled with vim and vigor over this crap fest, but I thank you kindly for the outlet!!! ; )
kisses Honey!

Juddfan, that show sounds more interesting than The Bachelor.
I doubt anything as dramatic as what people are saying in online spoilers is going to happen. Maybe Melissa's parents show up.
How could that bland, sweet little thing be the "black sheep" of any family? Unless her parents are ultra-religious and object to her tarting herself around as a DCC and on this show. Maybe they are Amish.
Or maybe they're like those Amazon tribes who think that having your picture taken steals your soul.
I read something on another site that is so true. Remember when The Bachelor himself was something special: a millionaire, an entrepreneur, a prince, member of a famous family, a professional athlete...or at least smokin' hot. Now we have JASON? I mean, get real. Why are these women competing for him--you can meet guys like him every day of the week.

So let's put this in perspective...
Jason has an overnight date. Early the next morning the production crew wakes him up, he showers off Jillian's spit and pussy juice, then rushes over to the set for his next overnight 'date'. The morning after that, another shower, this time to get rid of Molly's crumbs from his pubic hair, then it's on to Melissa....
Ew?
I mean, I know this formula has always been part of the Bachelor experience, but for some reason the idea of J-babe doing it just creeps me out.
Well, okay, I don't believe he slept with any of them. I still believe he's gay and he's been tapping Chris Harrison. I think juddfan's right on--is America ready for a Gay Bachelor?
I truly love the earnestness of this show though. It's part of what makes it so much fun to laugh at.

Maybe one of the eliminated gals comes back knocked up.

Let me just take this moment to do a little "I told you so" dance and direct everyone to my first Bachelor-related comment of Jason's season (after the episode where Nikki was sooo embarrassed to sing and Molly skanked it up with Jason in the tent):
"I like Molly and Melissa".
I like Melissa more than Molly but there's a reason why I put one M before the other...for anyone who still has that late Jan. episode on file, check out Molly's reaction when she came home after the overnight date....and then watch all the other Bachelorettes' reactions. Hmm....

Signed,
Not Molly masquerading as a fan of the show

I love your recaps Honey.
"Well, once a-gane Jillian is up first and the producers have come up with something very unique and different - a helicopter ride. Are you kidding me? I think I almost qualify for a helicopter pilot's license just from watching this show."
LOL!!!!!!! Would u like to sit down to a picnic with me after our helicopter ride?
I think Molly was being sarcastic when she made that comment about knowing Jason's ice-cream flavor being such an important part of a marriage. She knows she's got this in the bag after that good tent luvin she put on him so many moons ago.

Why do people get such a gayvibe from Jason? I don't see it. He's just a sensitive guy. With the same bday as me (I know this thanks to Stalker Shannon. Yay?).
Anyyyway, how come Chris H never asks whether these people slept together on the Fantasy Dates. That's what I wanna know...
12 of 17 | Posted by BlahBlah | Posted on February 21, 2009 7:17 PM
"Why do people get such a gayvibe from Jason?"
Hmm. Dunno. How about:
- Cries too much.
- Makes wingy faces when he has to kiss a girl.
- Hair too neat.
- Skin too moisturized.
- Proposed to Deeanna.
- Cries too much.
- In too good shape for a post-30 guy with a career.
- Icky smarmy too-white smile.
- Cries too much.
Also, I didn't believe he and Molly actually did anything in that tent. With a camera crew standing outside all night? (and you know they waited there all night, just in case...). Besides, she doesn't seem like the type to put out that quickly. And if she is...eww. How many other tents has she been in?

my "gay-dar" goes on when jason smiles...just has a very feminine look. : ) and any guy that plays leapfrog with his family (on his hometown date with deanna) is not 100% straight. period. maybe that's why he didn't run when molly's family pulled out the hats. he seemed to enjoy wearing the village people chief hat.

Wow, Itchy, that isn't a very pretty picture of gay guys.
Ya know I'm just giving you a hard time. :p
I've found that the gay guys I know cry a whole lot less than the straight weenies that I've known.
It's funny that so many think he is gay, and yet so many others think he is ruled by his dick in his dealings with the girls.
15 of 17 | Posted by pixielated | Posted on February 22, 2009 3:12 PM
Heh, I know, it's a gift.
Actually, most of the gay people I've known have in general been pretty jovial types.
My main problem with J-babe isn't that he might be gay, more like I get the sense that it's all an act --no matter what he might be.
But I don't think he's ruled by his dick. I think he's completely dominated by what the producers want him to do. You can almost see him looking out the corner of his eye, begging for approval, like a puppy.
