Helene's Bachelor Recap: Dangerous Games


I'm not going to lie, I was thrilled for this week's episode. It looked like Tierra was bringing the crazy. And I love nothing more than seeing crazies in their natural state. 

This week was full of dangerous games: Rock climbing, roller derby and talking about "feelings"- the scariest of them all. 

To start it off Selma got the first one on one date. 
They hop in a Jeep and go to the desert and she has no idea what's in store. 
She drops a "can you handle all 110 lbs if this?" We get it you're skinny. Shut up.

Then the Leslie I don't like, poker dealer, starts crying over not yet getting a solo date. Put on your poker face on and get over it. 

Selma (aka Hayek) and Sean go to the dessert to hike around. She can't stand the heat. And go rock climbing (and I'm flooded of memories of falling rock climbing 20 feet). But they do it and she's happy to see the scenery and Sean's happy to see this:
Well those better do the trick because she won't kiss him until they are like married. Ok, not that.But her Iraqi family background prevents her from getting a sloppy Sean kiss.

The group date is roller derby. I'm worried about one armed Sarah. How will she cope with this? 
What if she breaks her stub? I am seriously worried. AshLee gives her a pep talk. 10 points to AshLee. 

Psycho Amanda is good at the sport, or so she thinks. But then falls and almost breaks her jaw. Good. One armed Sarah can take a break. Sean decides that the producer's  his idea isn't working. So they free skate. 

After skating, Tierra freaks out. She wants to leave. "I can't take the fakeness!" 
Catherine moves into first place by saying that Tierra is weird. +15 points to Catherine. 

Tierra is not going to "let someone bash a hammer over her head." 
Tierra is one step ahead of the game, and tells Sean that girls will be talking to him about how Tier-rable she is.  So don't listen to that, Sean. Her mind games are intriguing. Sean buys it. What a noob. 
Her eyebrows and drama win the rose. 

Leslie H has solo date 2. They have a "Pretty woman" date. Except she picks out a hideous dress and apparently isn't a hooker. And Sean Gives her an even uglier necklace.

 They're date was boring. And I was too busy instagramming a pic of what I ate for dinner. 
Sean's bored too. No rose for you. 


Sean clearly has a mad crush on Catherine. Especially when she gives him a naughty note. Sparks. 
They finally have a first kiss. 

Sean sends Amanda home. Even with a bruised jaw. And now, ego. 

Tierra is still standing and looks like she is ready for more drama next week. 
Hopefully Sean will soon enough see through makeup and neediness and realize she is just plain cray. 
The most dangerous game of all is of course, games of the heart. 
Not really, it's rock climbing. Falling 20 feet will easily break all your bones.

Fave girls are now:
Catherine, Desiree, Lesley, AshLee

What did you think?!

I love your recaps, this is the ONLY season I haven't watched... which surprises me, I mean... hello? Sean! Ha!

Bringing back those bad memories of your ridiculous rock-climbing extravaganza and that hooker who dropped you!

Dear HelenE,

Good stuff. How did I miss the 110 lb comment? Must go back and OnDemand to see said comment. Also, I don't understand how someone born in the Iraqi dessert CANT TAKE THE HEAT. Lame.

I was genuinely upset for Sarah during roller derby.

As I said to our girl SMD, Tierra needs to be voted off the island. I can't take the mood swings. Nurse MarLa says the girl needs some damn Lithium. STAT.

Love, MarLa

I like those 4 too. I think they will be the final 4! I wish we would see more of some of the girls that have had NO air time. Enough of stupid Tierra!

You left out the part where Leslie says WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER and does that awkward shimmie. Arguably my favorite part. Or the sly 110 pound comment from Selma.

I have got to get my act together and start spending more time with my dvr at the beginning of the week! Everything about this post was great and I love that you were too busy Instagraming your dinner!!

Casey said... Reply To This Comment

I really want to like Selma...but that 110lb comment? Ugh, almost ruined it for me. Your faves are my faves...except for Catherine. Something about her rubs me the wrong way.

And Leslie's dress WAS totally gross!! Precisely why you never let a man pick your outfit! ;)

I finally gave up watching the Bachelor and the Bachelorette a few years ago. I used to watch religiously. However, i am truly enjoying your recaps and dont need to watch it now. You're so cute!!

Tierra is a tierrorist. For reals. I am doing everything I can not to read the spoilers but I want Des or Lesley M to win sooooo bad!

SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph said... Reply To This Comment

I cannot stand Poker Leslie and Tierra the Terrorist. At least Tierra makes shit interesting with her crazy.

I was like WAIT you want them to ROLLER DERBY? These bitches are crazy! And so are you for thinking anyone will survive this!

Katie said... Reply To This Comment

some of those girls are so crazy! I like desiree a lot! and the other ones of your favorites too! i'm pretty happy that it is on two nights next week!!

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

I am so glad I'm not the only one who thought Leslie's dress was hideous or Selma's boobs were beyond distracting! Those suckers have got to be silicone on that tiny little frame that she keeps bragging about! LOL

I'm like the only blogger alive who doesn't watch, but I watched Emily's re-cap on E! News last night and it sounds like Tierra is INSANE. And now I want to watch just for her. Thanks ABC for making him keep her around!

Oh I missed one riveting comment from Taylor. On Amanda: "damn her jaw does look bad!" Thank you, Taylor.

I lost it at "what if she breaks her stub." Both laughter & terrible pain in my elbow. Ahhh can't think about it.

Sybil@PeaceitallTogether said... Reply To This Comment

As usual, I loved your recap! So funny...and I learned some new words, like "cray" and "noob." :)

Definitely Sarah B. said... Reply To This Comment

I still love Leslie from DC - she just seems real and down to Earth. I think I connect with her because I have the same nervous giggle thing...I can't imagine how I'd be on this show!!! But I bet I would be funny to watch...

Elle Noel said... Reply To This Comment

Tierra went from full on snot nose ugly cry, to "ohh you do like me" in 3 seconds flat. She's obviously insane. Catherine is my fav as she coined "Tierra-ble" hahaha Love it!

Kelsey Eaton said... Reply To This Comment

Was I the only one a tad bit disappointed when they didn't end up rolled derby ing? I wanted to see who was going to get cray cray!

thecarbmonster said... Reply To This Comment

Oh girl this reminds me I need to watch this episode! My dog was sleeping on my remote and I couldn't tune in haha. And I also need to watch the beginning of the last episode (only caught the end last week) cause I don't want to miss out on a minute of the crazy!

Bethany Kline said... Reply To This Comment

I like sarah and I know it was so hard for her to concede that this was a difficult challenge for her. I love that Ashlee was so sweet to her. she seems to have a good heart. She's one of those that looks like a "mean girl" but she's humble and sweet as pie. Tierra is bat-sh*t crazy. she really sucks. but at least she is trying to fake nice with the girls now, its completely insincere, but she's trying to stop the boat from rocking. I don't really feel Catherine. I really like one arm sarah and ashlee and Desiree. the Leslie date sucked. and yes, that dress was HIDEOUS! what on earth were they thinking?! but i loved those earrings. there was no chemistry at all between them. easy "no rose" on that one. she was sweet but tried too hard to be quirky i think. Oh well. This tierra business is only gonna get worse, and btw you can't tell me she didn't throw herself down those stairs last week! 2 episodes 2 nights next week, bring the drama!!

I do really like Selma (she weighs more than me, ha!), but I have to wonder if Sean will be okay in the long run with not kissing her yet.

Ok don't hate me, but I don't watch the show... but I just read your entire blog about it, and laughed out loud during the skating scene. They can't put a chick with one arm on skates... she'll break the other one. That was mean... I take it back.

Taylor said... Reply To This Comment

Hi darlin! Newest follower here. I loved your recap of this week's episode. I am rooting for Selma!! But I'm also beginning to really like Catherine. :) Oh, and I can't wait to say goodbye to Miss Drama Mama (aka Tierra)!

Blessings,
Taylor

Lia Joy said... Reply To This Comment

hahaha I thought the same thing when Selma made the "110 lbs" comment. I kinda wanted to punch her.

And I still want to punch Tierra and her Harry Potter lightning bolt scar on her forehead.

blsmith6 said... Reply To This Comment

ps. did you see the end credits where they show Sean killing the stick shift like 5 times? talk about noob. #embarrassing.

smk053078 said... Reply To This Comment

Who needs to watch the show when we have Helene???? You and Chris Harrison should tag team!! ;)

Southern Sass said... Reply To This Comment

The roller derby picture is awkward, it looks kinda like he went to hold her hand, but then was like oh wait you have no hand.

Cayla Hess said... Reply To This Comment

110 pounds...in her boobs. That girl is a walking contradiction. And I'm so glad Amanda finally went home. She just annoyed me. It was like she was trying to be Courtney or Michelle Money...and failed!

Girls Love Fried Pickles said... Reply To This Comment

I am still saying he should pick the girl based in the best hair. If a girl loves her hair she will love him. So you know that's dumbest crap I ever wrote right?

Ashley said... Reply To This Comment

Sean's bored too. NO rose for you! Hahha...favorite part.

I'd like to think Catherine climbed her way up for her "tierrable" comment. That was kind of fantastic.

Gina Gao said... Reply To This Comment

This is a really fun recap! I liked this post very much.

Tierra makes me want to vomit or beat someone. I am baffled at how far she is getting with Sean with her dramatic intrigues.
We share the same faves though - I'm still routing for DC. She's got the brains to go with the smile -- at least one of them, thank goodness!

Kat@shop.school.sleep. said... Reply To This Comment

I didn't watch this week either :( Love your recap and yes Tierra needs to go!! I agree with your top 4 picks...I call Desi to be in the top 3!!

Rachel said... Reply To This Comment

Your recaps are hilarious. They actually make me want to watch this train wreck of a show! :)

Mallory Whitt said... Reply To This Comment

I agree with every single thing you said. Amazing.

I am so over Tiera and I could get rid of Selma's 110lb boobs. I am loving Lesley (the husband's fav) and Catherine. I am anxious to see how this season plays out. Great recap! Now I know where to go if I ever miss a Monday! - Mallory @ http://www.malsmiles.com/

"I'm worried about one armed Sarah. How will she cope with this? What if she breaks her stub? "

LOOOOOL, this killed me!

Kourtney said... Reply To This Comment

I'm definitely an AshLee fan! She keeps getting better even when she's not around Sean! I am slightly obsessed with Tierra's "meltdowns" and evil half smiling...it's amazing.

Lindsey said... Reply To This Comment

Love your recap! I thought Lesley's dress was hideous too!! In fact pretty much every. single. one. she tried on... I don't know if it was her bad taste or what, but I was not impressed!!!

Veronica Lee Burns said... Reply To This Comment

I genuinely look forward to reading your recap as much as I look forward to watching the show, well just about.
Seriously, this is great! totally makes me laugh so much (inside, reading this on my lunch hour). I can't hardly stand how awesome it is! Thanks for writing every week!
ps: those are my fav girls too
pss: can we just say, tierra is totally pulling the same scam that other girl did to Ben (even though ben was dumb and no one really liked him anyway)...sorry had to put that in there. :)
Happy Thursday! (I'm late to reading)

Jessica McCoy said... Reply To This Comment

I've always wondered if their is some clause in the Bachelor contract that says they have to keep the crazy chick on for X amount of weeks. Surely these guys aren't THAT blind?

Thanks for keeping me in the loop on the craziness!
