11 of 25 Women and we actually speak to 5.
Here we are at The Bachelor: The Women Tell All. I'm not really sure why they do this except to stretch the season out a little bit longer. Seriously, it should be called The Women Tell Nothing. It's basically a bunch of replaying stuff we've already seen and then the women answering planted questions that no one cares about. There are a couple of new things tonight, and Chad is back, which is sure to be lame, so let's see what happens, shall we?
The first thing I notice is that someone has spent an awfully long time making Bettina's hair look nice. It usually looks so thin and fried, but tonight it actually looks soft and nice. Miracles do happen!
The ABC hair team deserves an Emmy nod.
Also, Hillary is continuing her habit of matching her eye shadow to her dress. The night of her hysterical fit it was white and tonight it's purple. Who told her this is a good idea?
The ABC makeup team does not deserve an Emmy nod.
Chris begins by asking about the girls' first impressions of Brad and of course, they thought he was amazing and Hillary thinks he's hotter than David Beckham. Thumbs down, Hillary. David Beckham is phenomenally successful and has a British accent. There is just no contest.
Now we are treated to a montage of the girls talking crap behind each other's backs and the main star of this scene is Hillary. She has a little something to say about everybody, including that McCarten (or McNasty as Hillary calls her) smells like a fish taco. What? That is so disgusting and random. A fish taco? Geez Hillary, don't worry about acting dignified or anything. After the montage Jade says that she only had a problem with DeAnna and Milk Carton (thanks for the nickname, BlahBlah!), and Milk Carton claims that this is just because she and DeAnna were forward while the rest of the girls talked behind people's backs. Oh yes, Milk Carton, it is so noble to be a giant biznatch right to people's faces, good for you! Brad was so lucky to get to choose between all of you. Sarah wonders why everyone couldn't just be friends, but of course, that is completely out of the question.
Next Hillary is confronted about calling Divorced Bettina a used car and her defense is that she was just being witty. First of all, that remark was so not original or witty, and secondly, I still say Hillary is going to have to eat those words someday because she is the type I can see getting married over and over again. Milk Carton thinks it would have been okay if only Hillary had said it directly to Bettina's face. That's enough from you, Milk Carton. Bettina just sits there looking a little lost, as usual.
"I just wish she would have called me a fish taco to my face."
Still sticking with Hillary and her matching eye shadow, Chris calls her up to come sit next to him while we relive her tormented exit. Chris credits the hysteria to Hillary's strong emotions for Brad instead of the insanity it actually was, and Hillary says that when she falls it is genuine. Chris wants her to take us back to that night and tell us how she really felt. Uh, Chris? Hillary didn't hide how she really felt, and we all saw it splattered all over our televisions screens. There's nothing more to discover here.
"What was I actually feeling at that moment?"
Chris also wants to know how Hillary could be so dumb as to not pick up on all of Brad's indications that they were just friends. Again Chris, she's crazy. There is simply no more explanation. Chris suggests that Brad could have hired a sky writer to put "Hillary, we're friends" in the sky and Hillary says, "They should have did that." Okay, I'm done with Hillary.

Great recap, Honey! I was pleased to see it, since it was basically a "recap show" with not much new information.
I agree that Bettina looked much better last night. Ew! Milk Carton turned me off even more. I loved how after Chad came out and a bunch of girls outed him, Milk Carton (looking slightly confused) chimed in, pretending to know it wasn't Brad. She looked so stupid.
I felt a little sorry for Hillary. Yes, she is nutso but going over and over her craziness was like beating a dead horse. I thought she did a pretty good job of handling the grilling.
Can't wait for the next show and recap! You rock, Honey!

This last episode just reminded me that Brad had some pretty sucky choices this season.
Ick...Bettina. I'm so glad that girl is gone. And her little comment about the perfect guy being "well-educated." Hm. Yeah, whatever.
So many things wrong with these girls, I'm just going to stop now.
As far as the remaining two...logically, he should pick DeAnna being that she actually could move to Austin and have a life with him...but there's the physical aspect, and he's more into her.
By the promo for next week, IMO, he's picking Jenni.
We'll see.

Milk Carton did come off even worse in this than on the actual show, and i didn't think that that was possible! I couldn't believe how rude she was to Bangs when she was like "i just didn't want to be your friend, Bangs." I so badly wanted Chris to ask her and replay her terrible "first kiss" with Brad.
Hillary is definitely a psycho. The girl has no shame though; I felt evil that I got some pleasure of her watching her rejection picture-in-picture. I can't believe she's a nurse; that frightens me a little bit.

I'm with DP Hooker on Hillary.
Brad will and should pick Jenni/Ginny. She's his type. Dopey, into herself, exhibitionist, "artistic," and cheerleaderey. Deanna is too much woman for him.
Great recap!

All I wanna know from these "women tell all" shows is who slept with Brad. And I did not find that out, so I'm sad right about now.
Btw, I loved how Bettina looked to Chris to save her from the audience member's nosy question and Chris totally bounced it back to her. :) Team Chris!

Ultra funny recap, Honey Gangsta.
Spit. Out. My. Tea. @ "The ABC hair team deserves an Emmy nod"/"The ABC makeup team does NOT deserve an Emmy nod" screencaps.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the screencap of Milk Carton's (You're welcome. It's not copyright-protected.) fish taco expression. Damn her for providing evidence that anything Hillary says makes the slightest bit of sense.
I like your cynicism about the show's process (cue-carded questions, contractual limitations re: expressing forthright opinions and outcomes, etc.). Since the last time I watched this show was during the first season, I'm still naive and delusional (much like Hillary). What's that you say, Chris? Brad will propose in the finale?! Yay!!!
Any bets on the countdown to Chad's divorce? Sheena, I bet it sucks that THE ONE for you is already married. So sad.

Can't wait for that recap.
