The Bachelor Finale: it’s not okay
Sarah and I could have gone on and on about this train wreck of a finale. From the family throwing him under the bus to the women ignoring all the red flags to the tense exchanges between Chris Harrison and Juan Pablo . . . this show was straight-up cringey. And confusing. And a cautionary tale to women about “following your heart” instead of using your brain. ) What did you make of the finale? What do you think Juan Pablo said to Claire? Why was Juan Pablo so pissy with Chris Harrison? And WHAT . . .
The Bachelor Recap: The Woman Tell All
Sarah James and I are talking about the Women Tell All episode of The Bachelor, which frankly . . . made us a little uncomfortable. I share a theory on who JPab ends up with (plot twist!), we speculate on the next Bachelorette, and we squirm as each contestant confirms her disdain for JPab despite crying over their lost love in the limo on the way out. Oh, and here is our friend who may need some counseling after the finale next week. Any predictions for next week? . . .
It’s okay. The Bachelor fantasy suite recap is here.
First of all, apologies for skipping last week. I was out of town, and also perhaps underestimating how many of you would be asking for our recap. This one is a twofer, since we got an episode both Monday and Tuesday night this week. And since I’d missed the previous week, that meant I returned home from vacation to SIX HOURS of The Bachelor. But I did it. I watched it all. I hope you appreciate it. What is happening in this photo? Are we praying? Singing worship songs? You’ll have to watch to . . .
The Bachelor Recap: Season 18 (Juan Pablo) Episode 6
Cassandra has the worst birthday ever. Clare and JPab find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Juan Pablo reminds Renee that she is a mom in case she forgot. Sharlene seems more sure about her feelings for the Hobbit house than she does for Juan Pablo. Here’s our recap of the latest episode of the worst Bachelor in Bachelor history. . . .
If it’s not Juan thing with this guy, it’s another (The Bachelor recap, episode 6)
Our stock in J-Pab continues to plummet. Granted, it shouldn’t be shocking that the main character on a skeevy show acts like a skeeve. But Juan Pablo’s ever-emerging misogyny and self-importance is becoming vomit-inducing. Especially the whole “can you stop crying for me while I invade your space and force you to look at me” schtick. Juan Pablo, Sarah and I are not impressed. . . .
The Bachelor Recap: Season 18 (Juan Pablo) Episode 4
Sarah James and I are back with our latest Bachelor recap. Is JPab looking for a wife or a clubbing partner? Is Sharleen a bigger ice queen than Elsa? Will we ever be able to tell the difference between all these indiscernible blonde girls? Does Juan Pablo make out with someone after she throws up in her mouth? (Spoiler alert: he does.) Who do you think should win Juan Pablo’s final rose? . . .
The Bachelor Recap: Episode 4
Once again Sarah James and I are recapping our guilty pleasure, our shame made even more complete by JPab’s completely ridiculous comments about the possibility of a gay bachelor. I like Kristy’s take: This episode was full of the usual . . . girls in bikinis, people jumping off yachts, and waxing philosophical about the trust and bond that occurs after bungee jumping together. What did you think of this episode? And how do you think Juan Pablo should take accountability for his offensive . . .
The Bachelor Recap: Episode 2 in Juan Pablo’s search for love
Sarah James and I love recapping Downton Abbey, but we decided we might as well stop pretending that we are high-brow PBS types when The Bachelor is our first tv love. I know, I know. The show is AWFUL. Every season I vow to stop watching. I find the whole premise skeevy, especially the inevitable fantasy suite date where the bachelor spends the night with three different women in some attempt to kick the tires before he buys test the limits of a 10-day dose of zythromax get to know the . . .
