DeAnna is now having her alone time with Brad and she tells him that she really wants to stay because she feels a connection with him and would like the chance to fall in love. So much more effective than trying to decide whether or not you're outgoing. It's time for Brad to hand it over, so he picks up the rose and comes over to a table where both girls are waiting. He makes a speech about having a true connection and gives the rose to DeAnna. Buh-bye, Jade! Brad walks her down and gives her the typical consolation speech about her being a wonderful person, blah, blah, blah. Jade just cries and tells Brad he's amazing. At home the girls are wondering when the "suitcase guy" will show up and just then he walks in and picks up Jade's crap. They stand around dumbfounded, which is really what they're best at. In the limo Jade says that she became consumed by her conflict with DD instead of what she should have been saying to Brad. Bingo. She says that DD doesn't deserve her happy ending and then we cut to Brad and DeAnna playing tonsil hockey in the hot tub. Sheesh! This is a steamier make out session than any of Jenni's. There's even porno music playing and it's kind of gross.
Enough already.
At last the dates are over and it's time for the Pre-Rose Ceremony cocktail party. DeAnna has copped an attitude and tells the other girls she feels like they think they have her boyfriend. She tells us that she's annoyed tonight and knows the other girls won't like her later when she and Brad are getting married. Or breaking up on TMZ.com. Ha ha! Brad makes his entrance and when no one screams he asks why they aren't excited. Fine, everybody scream!
Kristy takes Brad aside and reiterates how uncomfortable she was on the group date and Brad tells her that his impression is that she is a lady and in fact, she may be too refined for him. Uh oh, Kristy. Your days are numbered. I was discussing this with a girlfriend and we were wondering why, if a guy meets a girl that he likes, but feels she is more refined than he is, wouldn't he try to refine himself a little? Isn't it good to be with someone who makes you want to be better? In this situation, I think Brad is more looking for excuses to dismiss people than reasons to keep them, so I'm not sure how much more of Kristy we'll be seeing. Plus, Brad may be using "refined" as code for "boring," so we'll see.
Brad sits down with Sheena and tells her that she was a big hit with Chad. Sheena says that it was a huge deal for her to meet Brad's best friend and confidante and then she starts crying again and saying this is so real for her. This is another hilarious part of The Bachelor. Guys usually spend their entire lives trying to avoid dealing with crying women, and then when they come on The Bachelor to be a pimp, they mostly sit around wiping tears away. Backfire!
Kristy, Bettina, DeAnna and McBossy sit down with Brad and ask him who his first kiss here was. He better not even think about dodging the question with McBossy around. The way they ask is lame, with each of them saying one word to form the whole question. It even takes Brad a second to piece it together, but then he admits it was Jenni and these four practically sink into despair. Bettina is irritated because Jenni acts like this is just a competition for her. She calls Jenni and slut for kissing Brad and a liar for not telling everyone about it. LOL, Bettina. McBossy should feel really stupid because she tried to kiss Brad before the Jenni kiss, but it was a humorous debacle.
Jenni hides behind her new best friend.

Great recap Honey Gangsta.
Just wanted to say that I've been to the Dizzy Rooster, and it's hands down one of the trashiest bars I've ever been in. I know Brad's probably in it just to make money, but ... ick.

I have to tell you I am loving your recaps. Of all the new recappers I feel you are the one who captures the mix between actually recapping the show and snarkiness that TVGasm has long been known for and that we love.
Keep it up coz Im loving your work !
Regarding the show ... the editing makes Jenni look like SO MUCH of a frontrunner that I don't think she will win the whole thing. The only other person he seems to genuinely like is DeAnna but that "I am not friends with them because they will resent me at my wedding" totally turned me off of her. That was ridiculous, stupid, bitchy and delusional.
I don't mind Bettina but he doesn't seem that much into her.
The others are toast.

I agree with Dorian, HG...another great recap! I always enjoy reading them!
I liked DeAnna too, but this last episode made me question that. She looks like a royal bitch. Hm. Maybe it's just the editing? But then again, she had to actually act this way to give them the material.
Let's see...last week we accurately picked Jade and McCarten to be kicked off (yay!), who should we pick this week?
Of the girls left, I'm HOPING Jenni goes next, but I'm betting she's here for another couple of weeks.
My pick to go...Kristy & Hillary.

Great ReCap!
I hope and believe horsey-faced Sheena will go next. DeAnna was an early favorite of mine, but she really showed some personality cracks this week. Hillary? Blah Blah who cares. Jenni is absolutely the most annoying of the bunch. Her cackle-laugh is grating, and I think she is average looking, at best. Why is he so seemingly taken with her? I like Bettina...who unfortunately has AWFUL, fried, life-less hair!! (Step. Away. From. The. Bleach/Blowdryer. Bettina!) but I don't think Brad is diggin' her as much as some others (DD and Jenni). So, bascially, they are all a bunch of flawed idiots, who bring me an hour of laughter each week. BA HA HA HA

I think Kristy and Hillary are next to go.
The last three will (should) be Bettina, Deanna, and Jenni. The last two will be Deanna and Jenni. From there, I can't decide. The BIG question will be, "Is Jenni really that perky or has she been acting this whole time?" If Brad thinks Jenni is being real with him, he'll go with her 'cuz he seems to be hypnotized by her giggles. I have a feeling Brad is the most sexually attracted to Jenni (perky cheerleader), but the most emotionally attracted to Deanna (strong-willed, unemotional). And we all know that when there's a battle between the heart and the penis, the man will always choose the penis.
I'm so glad Milk Carton is gone. What happened to "I'm a strong, confident woman who doesn't need a rose?" That confidence sure did shrivel up quickly when she didn't get a rose.
Why do these women cry so much after not getting picked? They've known the bachelor for about a week at this point? Geez. I would be scared to marry anyone who is this desperate.
Honey, I disagree with you about being on this show automatically disqualifying someone from being likeable or whatever. It's hard to find true love, so I think however you find it is great. At least he doesn't seem to be on here to get famous (although he does seem to like the limelight). They should all just be realistic about the fact that they can't know someone well from 6 weeks on a dating show in a hyped-up "reality". I don't think Brad will propose to the last girl. He's just good at reading cue cards. :)

Also:
"They ask who kissed whom, and she tells them he kissed her. Hillary says that as long as she is the last one who kissed him, she's fine with that. Wrong again, Hillary! Last night Brad had some pretty hot and heavy Jacuzzi tongue time with DeAnna."
I think Hillary meant that she wants to be the last person Brad kisses ever, as in the girl who wins this thing and marries him.

Hi all...new to the Forum. Love your recap. Been reading since the Mayo days.
I agree that Jenni will probably not be the last one standing due to all the face time she's getting. I think Sheena is the dark horse and Bettina will prove herself to be a psycho before it's all over.
Hillary and Kristy are SO OVER.

UGH... that DD chick is such a biotch! She was ok to begin with, but this latest episode really showed some cracks showing her true inner bitch. That whole 2 on 1 date just did not paint her in a good light at all.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who totally can't stand Jenni. Why is it the supposed frontrunners are always the most hated.. very strange.
I think out of the group.. I really like Bettina. She's not as mature as she wants to think she is, but she's the lesser of the idiots.

Hey Guys!
Thanks so much for your comments. Seriously - telling me I am representing the 'Gasm is the best compliment you could give me. I was a TVgasm fan long before I started writing for them, so I really appreciate the love. :)
As for the show, I think I'm with you guys on Hillary and Kristy taking off next. And personally, I CAN'T WAIT for Hillary's psychotic episode. This should be great material.
Much love!
-HG

I thought most of the girls came off not looking good this week....well, looking worse than they usually do. I thought I liked Bettina but calling Jenni a slut for kissing Brad, and then "lying" about it by not telling them was ridiculous.
And i thought Sillary came off as a huge bitch talking about Bettina like a used car. Ho should stop getting so worked up about everything so we don't have to keep looking at the huge forehead vein.
I loved too how McConfidence said that Brad could father her children or be her husband, but not both.
Another HILLARYious recap, good work!

I was thinking the other day, as one of the retarded women spent her precious alone time with who she thought was Brad asking how long he wanted to get engaged for, how different (besides the obvious rushing and ludicrous group dates) this is from actually dating someone. On no American soil could I ask a guy I've known for 3 weeks how long he wants to be engaged for with me without him sprinting for the door. You certainly can't yell out "I love you" after 3 weeks and not totally freak out a poor guy who took you out on a group date.
I can totally see the producers egging these chicks on - 'you might get to marry this guy!!!' 'Yes, yes, I definitely would marry him.'
Good grief.
Also, I think I stand in the minority but I like Jedi, errr Jenni. I think she's doing exactly what guys like, and why would I blame her? That's like giving those bullshit answers to interview questions to get the job even if they're not true. Do what it takes. I mean, there's no real time to get to know the real person, so why not accelerate (by giggling, and saving your dead roses) and win, and then see how it works out. I also think because they play her up so much, she'll be the first one out of the limo - "we break one of the women's hearts like never before!" Thanks Chris Harrison.

I don't even watch The Bachelor, but I make sure to read your recaps because they have me laughing at work. Loves it. I don't really know who these girls are but i'm guessing that I want the sobbers to go home--that just shows weakness and on a reality show, you can't show your weaknesses cause there is always some scheming ho who will call you out on it (cough LACEY cough).
