Dear Bachelor, I feel awkward

As you know, I watch the bachelor
I can't explain my love for this show. The concept is just so weird.
Girls literally clawing at each other for a man they barely know. 

Sean: you're easy on the eyes and seem like a decent human. But let's beef this bad boy up a little bit.
Tell the girls how you really feel. Make them squirm a little. (Or cry I don't care). 

Now, it's time for one on one dates and a group date (my personal favorite).
One armed Sarah has the first date and opens up about being one armed. Also she's already in love. Hold your horses girl. Let it be, I mean give it at least a week. 

Next we have a group date where the girls are entering in a modeling contest (of which I am sure they have ALL done before) and Kristy is ecstatic since she is a model. (You also better win this one GF.)
Big shocker: the Model Kristy wins. But does she care more about the competition than Sean? Hopefully.

I get excited as Sean and Lesley (I like her, she seems normal) sneak off for a chat but get annoyed when it's awkward. Keep up the convo people. 

Favorite line from the episode: "I'm vegan but I love the beef" Catherine says while looking at Sean's bod. Good line girl, did you come up with that or the producers? Sean laughs at this and now I feel awkward again.

Tierra has shown her crazy side in that she wants Sean to already treat her like she's Emily. But here's the thing: She's not Emily. I know, right?!

Kaite (the yoga instructor) feels the most awkward of them all (with the hair and everything) and decides it's time for her to leave (and spare herself from the rose ceremony).

Desiree gets the second one on one date and she is now my favorite. Although this date is the most awkward thing ever. (Also I am giving myself points every time I say awkward so there's that.) 
He pulls a prank on her about a painting falling in an art museum. No one is laughing (except for Chris Harrison, that sick bastard) and she's about to cry. 
No matter. Sean approves of the way she handled it and they hot tub it up. Duh.

It's time for the longest cocktail hour of your life as Sean must try and remember the girl's names and figure out which ones he can't stand the most. 

Awkward convos abound such as this from Robyn: 
"what kind of girl are you looking for, in terms of race", and he answers on cue- "I'm looking for my best friend." Robyn almost passes out from happiness.

Brooke and Diana are sent home and we feel fine about that since we forgot their names anyway (at least make it memorable, that's what I've learned from all of this). 
                             

Side note: Are you one of the many women affected by creepy guys? 
You know. the guys that just won't leave you alone so you give them a bogus phone number to feen them off?
WELL. The Bachelor has you covered! 
I am not lying. You can go here and get the number and Chris Harrison will break the news to them via a recording. Nice and easy. 
This is real life.

Also I wanna know: 
Do you prefer my bachelor recap on Wednesdays (so you can catch up or just have a better idea of the show?), Tuesdays? Or should I just shut up about this show altogether? Seriously would love to know your thoughts.

Love Wed posts because a 2 hour episode takes me about 2 days to watch.

Hubby walked in on that date and said hope he doesn't ask her to carry something lol

THank god I have a snow day today so the school I teach at is closed. I need to catch up on this show. You make it sound like I need to! Haha! =D

I like them on Wednesdays! Because I can't watch until Tues here in Germany!

And the Bachelor break up hot line is hilarious.

And it's already taking everything I have in me not to read Reality Steve. I'm always so curious but then always regret doing it.

Love your recaps. Wednesday is perfect as it takes me 2 days (sometimes 3) to watch.

I like Desiree! She is sweet. That line from Catherine was too funny. I wasn't sure how to take it at first. This show is such a train wreck but I love it. Haha.

The yoga instructor looked like she just stepped out of an 80s aerobics video. Jane Fonda maybe.

Kristy the Model's huge mouth and teeth scary me.

I love these! Keep them coming! I watch every week but I love to hear other people's take on it too.

I can't get into this show to watch it myself no matter how hard I try. I love your recap any day of the week though, because it's so darn entertaining.

I LOVE your recaps. Doesn't even matter what day you do them on. And I heard that recording from Chris Harrison on the radio and LOL'd.

Megan @ EphesiansWife said... Reply To This Comment

Haha this was fantastic! OK, seriously, every season I tell myself this show is absolutely pathetic and a complete waste of my time, but I come back each week to watch! I just can't get enough of the awkward moments...the crazy girls all throwing themselves at one guy...falling in love after one date...Fantastic!! I like the Wednesday posts :)

You never cease to amaze me and keep me laughing! I felt like this was pretty spot on, but can we talk about how emotional these girls are because they are surprised Sean is giving the other girls attention. Hello, have they not seen the show before... I digress. Loved that this was on Wednesday because my dvr and I needed a night to catch up!

Jill Schrader said... Reply To This Comment

I love your recaps. So funny. And glad to know I'm not the only one obsessed with the show. Wed. is good because sometimes I don't get to watch it on Monday night right away.

Stephanie said... Reply To This Comment

I only got the opportunity to watch the last half of Monday's episode but I'm hoping to catch up tonight.

I wish I got to see Sarah's date. I really like her and hope that she finds love soon, whether on or off The Bachelor.

After his date with Dez, I'm really loving them together. Crossing my fingers for her!

I missed it this week, but I want Lesley to smack people down.

Veronica Lee Burns said... Reply To This Comment

I absolutely LOVE your bachelot recaps and I will normally watch on Mondays so doesn't matter to me which day you post.

This whole post made me laugh, it was awesome!

rachel said... Reply To This Comment

omigosh. this is the best bachelor update evar. i so agree with everything you said....what do you think about kacie b? cuz i still love her, but after that hot tub scene, Des has this whole thing in the bag and i am pretty happy about that....

Kate @ Green Fashionista said... Reply To This Comment

Haha I totally forgot the names of the 2 girls sent home too. I'm shocked he kept that Amanda girl though. She probably won't last much longer though. But man alive... why are these episodes 2 hours long?! My poor DVR!

That's What She Read said... Reply To This Comment

Keep the posts coming! I missed this week and literally thought in my head: "Oh, I will just get the recap from Helene" :)

Sarah said... Reply To This Comment

I LOVE bachelor recaps! They are the second favorite part of my week behind actually watching the show. (okay, not really, but you know...)

I watch faithfully every Monday and most bloggers seem to blog about it on Tuesday so this Wednesday surprise was nice!

Love your recap! This is the one reality show that sucks me in every time! I prefer Wednesday recap. That gives me plenty of time to watch.

Don't you ever stop posting about the Bachelor. I mean it!!!

The crazy hair girl was about to leave. I'm glad she went on and did it.

I was kinda sad about Diana leaving...just because I thought her clothes were cute.

I thought that the date to the art gallery was a good one but the prank on Desiree was kind of pointless. That part of the episode was pretty boring and I was about two seconds away from changing the channel. My DISH co-worker says that because she seems so “normal” Sean had to test her to see if she could take a joke. Right, because he isn’t so “normal”. Either way she forgives him which I don’t think I would have been able to do so easily. I’ve been recording the show on my DISH Hopper this season and I can start watching in the living room while doing the laundry and finish in the bedroom while I’m putting up the clothes. The Hopper gives me full DVR functionality in every room of the house. It’s awesome.

Jana said... Reply To This Comment

Haha! Please post your take after every episode. It makes my life so entertaining to see the episode through your eyes after I watch it. :)

Lisette @ Northern Belle Diaries said... Reply To This Comment

I used to watch this show...but now I'm not sure if I want to. It seems to get more ridiculous. I will live vicariously through you :)

Wednesday is a great day! Just found your blog and was laughing through the entire post...you were spot on with your comments.

Check out my blog sometime!

I need to watch this. I keep forgetting. Mainly because they will fall in love, then he will discover me. Dump her ass and live happily ever after as my man toy

Ashley said... Reply To This Comment

I'm addicted to the Bachelor! Leslie went to college with me and I'm rooting for her to make it to then end. Some of those girls? Crazy!

Sybil@PeaceitallTogether said... Reply To This Comment

That word, awkward, is the reason I don't watch shows like The Bachelor. I just get so embarrassed for those people. Your updates are great...any day of the week. :)

Jaime Hungry said... Reply To This Comment

Either or, love the recaps!

Chelsie said... Reply To This Comment

I love this show so definitely don't stop with the recaps! The only thing that seriously bothers me each time I watch is when the girls (or guys) say that they love the bachelor/bachelorette. They've only known him for a few days, and they barely know him at that. Crazy!

Hannah Heres said... Reply To This Comment

Love the recap :)

Can't wait to read more next week!!

Helene~ I don't watch the show! So whatever day you decide to post this, I'll intensely read what happens :D

Bethe said... Reply To This Comment

Okay - you absolutely have to read www.ihategreenbeans.com - funniest recaps EVER! You'll love it.

I heart me some bachelor (even in a moment of weakness auditioned for it once - mostly for kicks) but I'm also depressed because it's not on Hulu and not viewable on my iPad, so the only way for me to catch up on Monday's episode, which I missed, is to watch it on my laptop. Lame. Keep the recaps coming!
