Did anyone see Dave kiss Michael after Dave's team won the curling? That was just... very european.

Also another weirdness: why is artwork in the guy's hotel blurred out? I guess the art dept. budget only extended to Jillian's fake apartment.

I want to know why the television media desperately wants to get people to wear hats again. They're showing up on everything from The Hills to Fringe, and I think Jesse was probably to asked to wear one. It's a conspiracy, yo.

Honey I love your recaps. I actually missed this show and forgot to dvr it--all because of my son's graduation from elementary school. GEEZ--couldn't they have had it when I'm a Celebrity was on! Anyway--does anyone know if you can see it online some place? Thanks, and thanks for doing such a great job with the recap. I am so sorry to hear that Dave and Juan are gone. Such high drama!
xoxo

hey, HG .. easy on the Canada-bashing! }8-D
Don't you like us?

Great recap... any way to get more screen-grabs?? :) There were so many laugh out loud moments in your recap, so thank you for that!

Dave is such a creep...a total "no means yes" kinda guy...eek.

I do wonder why she asked Juan to leave. Could it be because of that weird interaction at the rose ceremony between Juan and Tanner ("stop looking at me!")?? Anyone remember that moment?

Thanks for your comments, guys!!!

NYC Cookie - you can watch the episodes on-line at abc.com. Enjoy your two hours.

WizeChiklet - honestly most of the Canadians I've known (which isn't many) have been great. I bash because I love. Also because you all wear your flag all over the place. :)

Much love!

Awww, ok HG. I fergive ya, eh.

:-)

Random thoughts:

I thought Jillian was doing the gotta-go-pee dance at the beginning of the show.

The wife and I never go shopping together, ever. That's why we're still married.

Apparently (yeah, I read the host guy's recap, get on witcha), Jillian's cousin (you know, the hot-looking gal who they never show enough of) was supposed to be at the cocktail party too, but that bit was spoiled by the foot fetish guy's 'revelation.' I'm thinking Jillian really decided to end the party just to keep her cousin away from the guys.

I'm still finding it hard to dislike Jillian though. Maybe because she didn't go out and buy inflatable tits and get a nosejob before coming back on the show?

Jesse's hat: When my husband saw him in his dorky hat he asked if he had a growth on his forehead like AI's Matt.

I'm Canadian and I don't curl or know anybody who curls so... well, whatever. The producers should have had them play hockey eh.

I wonder how many times they said "here for the right reasons" in that episode. Could be an all time record. We need a Bachelorette statistician.

Oh, one more thing, the next Bachelor should be foot fetish Tanner, then he can choose from the feet of 25 beeyootifull women!

no, no, no, the next bachelor should be beautiful Jake...... yum.

How about when Dave's cab was driving off, and he was like, "What the F**!" hahhahaha, what an idiot.

Obviously she kept FF Tanner to pump him for more info, which i guess is a smart move.
I think she really did want the other team to win, b/c it had Reid and Ed.
and Reid with those glasses? yes please!

When Mark and Mike were announced for the two-on-one date, my first thought was, "Who the hell is Mark??" How can I be watching every ep. of this show and still not know who everyone is ?

I think Jake is trying too hard to seem "normal" and perfect - he must go home and do something really weird behind closed doors.

ooo, so many thoughts . . . great recap, Honey, it's so perfect that you've been doing these for a while, I'm surprised you didn't dis for including a special note to say one will go, after he already said that . . .

Brenda, agreed, I thought the same thing, and I sooooo thought he was toast-surprise!!!

Negative Nancy, you're husband is funny!!! I hate hats, probably coz they make my head look funny, but I do, HATE, esp. Matt's array . . . I'd rather lick that thing on his forehead than look at those douchy fedoras!!!

Dave is a scary man, they should have plucked him from the ranks as a courtesy to Jillian--just wait for it, I sense a mug shot emerging on TMZ soon! Can't believe he called her a slut and said her tit's are hanging out and thought it was a game of foreplay. Creepy!!! Way worse than FFT!

FFT seems like a plant to me, someone there to entertain and report to Jillian on the down low . . . she should have brought on her friend to dig for info, once Wes started singing to her, maybe J would have caught on.

Did anyone catch the looks Wes was giving FFT--I think he only told FFT and clearly knows who outed him. It was a very evil, crow eating look, and if I had been there, I clearly would have known who the liar was . . . even if I wished it not to be so . . .

So sad Wes is still there, but I really hope they take his humiliation to huge heights and bury him in a pile of douche manure!!!

With Krypton, he seems to jump in and kiss as a way to block from talking or something . . . she's obviously in a twitter, and I thought her happy dance was cute!

My sense is Jilly likes a few cocktails, or something, coz she keeps going on about this perfect stuff. Ain't no one perfect in this world, and finding someone perfect for yourself is the best anyone can do . . . does she mean boring when she says perfect? Jake does seem a little . . . dull . . . but sweet--take him to some extremes and see what he does . . .

Anyhoo, thanks for the cappy!!! And we should all have a shot every time they say "not for the right reason"

YAY for Reid, ED!, and Robby D. (Why the last name intial? I don't recall a second Robby ever being on?)
Which is kind weird to me... Considering they are all kind of DoughBoys. But Studmuffin-y DoughBoys at that.

First off: Honey Gangsta, I accept your (semi) apology for the Canadian bashing...and the reason that we wear our flags everywhere we go is so we don't get mistaken for you guys -- not that WE don't love y'all,of course, but the rest of the world, not so much :)

Secondly, good recap!

Oh and Melange, I did see Dave kiss Michael and thought it was kinda strange (and a little scary) -- I don't think FFT liked that moment either...

Someone called Dave Date Rape Dave in a previous posting, and he seriously lived up to that moniker this week! Imagine if the cameras weren't there. I think Jillian was more than a little shaken...

FFT seemed more like a gay best friend to me than a suitor -- and I agree she probably kept him around to be her confidante/source -- he'll make a great gay best friend though!

Brenda Walsh, I too was like "wth is that?" when they mentioned and showed Mark. I swear he was never there before and they just slipped him into the mix for some unknown reason -- I don't remember him at all!

Dave initially seemed so cute and bashful, but his 'real' face surfaced alarmingly soon. He is stalker material; delusional and aggressive.
I felt Jillian's revulsion as if I were in her place just then. I wanted to call in the goons to haul him off! Scary guy. Pathetic and creepy.

I think I remember Mark from last week--I think he was cool around Dave, for some reason.

I think all that "perfect" stuff is going to bite poor Jake. Jillian has low enough self-esteeem that she will feel like she can't live up to all his perfection. She wants him to be damaged, dammit!

Anyone who would keep someone who describes himself as a "musician"--and is a bad one, at that--is suspect as far as taste in men is concerned. If she finds a good'un, it will be by dumb luck.

Pixelated: It makes me laugh every time Jillian touts her abilities to judge character...I feel like saying to her: Seriously Jillian? Do you not remember falling deeply "in love" with a douche named Jason and thinking you were just perfect for each other when you were last on the bachelor/bachelorette? Learn from history girl! Go AGAINST your judgement, then you might stumble into a good relationship, lol

I think the only reason Jillian gave FFT a rose and got rid of Juan was because she didn't want to seem like she was 'punishing' him for squealing on the girlfriend thing. The way FFT looked like he was about to pee in his pants, should have been his ticket to go. I'm sorry, but I have no respect for weak men. If you're going to be a whistle-blower, then take the heat like a man, not a wimp.
I really hope that what looks like a guy getting his walking papers next week, is Wes getting the boot. Can't stand him, I hope both he and FFT leave.

Love the recap - thanks HG!

So what is going on with FFT?

Do you think Wes really told FFT that he has a girlfriend?

Or do you think FFT just made it up, speaking in generalizations / exaggeration?
