I am just going to make a shortish recap about this. I do not usually, but I feel like this is going to be good. The reason I don’t recap this show is that there are plenty of sites that spoil the winner during filming. SO IF YOU KNOW WHO ARIE PICKS, PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT HERE UNTIL AFTER THE FINALE!
Becca with the short hair addresses Tia’s discussion with Ari about her readiness for marriage. Becca with the short hair is gorgeous. Will she be the next bachelorette? She really is the fan favorite.
We are going to get right to Crystal being the crazy villain this season. Crystal says looking back she said some things she regrets. But she is rewriting history. Then she stops trying and then jokingly saying “Yeah, I was a bitch, I’m sorry.” Someone points out that she is not speaking in her weird little voice on the reunion. Crystal tries to say she lost her voice. She is so full of shit. Then she fake cries and says it was all worth it because her homeless brother saw her on the show and realized how much his family loves him and is “in the process of transitioning to live with the family.” WTF does that mean, either he came home or he didn’t.
Next, Chris talked to Sienne. She is gorgeous and smart would make a great bachelorette.
We saw a new sitcom coming out on March 27th called splitting up together. I hope it is not a half hour show, I hate half hour show. It’s an Ellen DeGeneres production (she’s not in the cast) and it looks cute. Remember when we watched scripted shows? This is one to keep your eye on. It’s on ABC.
Time for Becca with the short hair. EVERYONE loves her especially me. She says that seeing her package makes her very upset. She says she felt her character was put into questions and she felt betrayed by a girl she thought was one of her best friends and she felt a shift in Arie that night. Becca is so well-spoken and wise beyond her years. Becca has to retell the story of how she ended up listed as a missing person with her DRIVERS LICENSE PHOTO as her picture. She says she had been voted off and she wanted to get away from it all just to chill and she told her mom she was going to stay with friends (on their pot farm, lol) and there was no phone service there when she thought there would be. So she was not able to check in with her mom and she got worried and reported her missing and then she felt like she needed to get home for some reason and she was never taken off the missing person list. Chris makes her call her mom on camera to let her know where she is. That was pretty funny. Chris tells her mom that Becca is going to be on Bachelor in Paradise. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT. (What is wrong with me? Don’t answer that!)
Arie comes out and I am just not interested in the situation with Tia, because I am #TeamBeccaWithTheShortHair Also he gets a lot of applause when I think he is the worst bachelor since Juan Pablo.
Arie says there are a lot of things looking back that he would have done differently. Caroline, who I don’t even remember AT ALL says to Arie, “This whole time you said that you were there to find a wife, but I know what you did, and I don’t know how you could do that. I just really don’t understand. But I really hope you found what you were looking for. ” She gets really choked up saying this. I have no idea what she is talking about. He says that will play out in the weeks to come. She says you don’t need to answer that, but I need to say it. I think it has to do with telling all three girls he loves them and likely banging them all in the fantasy suite. It’s not like that hasn’t happened before.
Crystal gets to confront Arie and she asks Chris to let her do it from the couch. Crystal is still Crystal. She says she felt like their goodbye was a very cold to her. He says after looking back at the footage, he feels like that was pretty appropriate. The crowd goes wild. He feels that he probably dragged things on longer than he should have once he saw how she was in the house. They keep bleeping something out that she said on the show about him I’m guessing “pencil dick” because earlier one of the girls asked if she had actually seen his *bleep.*
The finale is next week? That is usually a three hour event. It doesn’t show up like that on my DVR. Ah it’s an hour tomorrow night for the bang card episode, and then the next Monday it’s the three hour finale. I don’t now how my DVR will allow that. Sigh. I think he might propose to one of them and get rejected. That would be awesome. Chris keeps saying nothing like this has ever happened before.
Again, a gentle reminder, NO SPOILERS PLEASE. I have no sources on this show and don’t want to know!
I’m not going to tell you what’s happens but don’t miss the finale. It will be controversial.
Love the recap, but I, for one, am not a fan of Becca with the short hair. She reminds me of a teenaged boy. Sorry. I don’t get all the hoopla about her. I won’t spoil it, but it’s def a doozy of an ending. Something sorta similar has happpened before. One thing is certain – Arie is still a huge douchelord!
I’m not a fan of Becca M. either and her running away to a pot farm and coming up missing shows her immaturity and lack of responsibility. I adore Becca K and hope she wins!
ME TOO! I don’t get America’s reaction to Becca with short hair. I haven’t watched every episode so I assumed I missed the episode where she won over America. She is like-able but not to the level that I see online, for me.
I think each and every one of the women are too good for Arie.
The villain, that called him a pencil dick, did the forbidden and snapped over the BS of never holding the Bachelor/Bachelorette accountable for misleading their dates. The women and Arie were upset with her. IMO she showed that she is human and that, while she knew what she signed up for, it is emotionally a lot to deal with.
I’m watching the 2-26 episode. No spoiler. I hate the bang all night. We don’t need to *know* they chose to “forego their separate rooms”. The card is SO AWKWARD. The giggling while reading it … ugh. I wish Bachelor would drop that and put them all in a suite and not make a big deal about it. We know all 3 will likely sleep with him and two will be dropped almost immediately afterwards …
I know what’s going to happen and what Caroline is talking about (though I can’t remember her either) but I won’t spoil it.
Tamara I agree that Arie is the worse bachelor since Juan Pablo!! My favorite was Sienne but because of what has recently transpired I’m happy for her dodging the bullet.
Can’t believe Crystal was stupid enough to not know her producers was playing her and how horrible she would be portrayed. I LOL when she had that weak response to why her voice was different.
New season of Unreal starts tonight at 10 on Lifetime, that show really makes watching this one much more interesting 🙂
Haven’t watched it all, but the comment Becca M made (paraphrased): “Just because I am young doesn’t mean I am not ready for a relationship-look at Krystal, she’s old but has no interpersonal skills.”
I think Becca M is entertaining, vivacious and animated-and the camera loves her. When she’s on, you watch her.
Krystal seems to have aged 6 or 8 years since the show. Maybe it’s the heavy tan. Not a good look.
I loved when Becca called out Krystal!
Ok, I watched it all. Arie certainly gave Krystal the smackdown she needed. She was determined to restate her excuses for her behavior, as if it would change anything now. She was desperate to get a last statement in there, to tell him she was always there for him,” which met with a barely disguised lip curl from Arie. I think she was going to move in for a hug and ended up with an awkward handshake.
I’m disappointed Becca M is going to Bachelor in Paradise. That pretty much guarantees she will never be the Bachelorette. Drat.
After reading this recap, I paid attention to Sienne. Not sure why the enthusiasm for her; she’s attractive, but no more so than about 20 of the other women in Arie’s harem (this was an exceptionally attractive cast, IMO); she has the Yale thing going for her, but personality wise…meh. She’d be boring.
Well these comments really have me intrigued about the ending. I hate spoilers too though.
I thought Becca was cute as can be. Krystal is just blah; a phony, stepford villain.
Now with the Becca missing saga. It all depends on the family, I guess. Some people wouldn’t mind if their kid didn’t call or text for a week on a vacation. I would flip out if my son didn’t call or text when he’s on a vacation. I’m sure Becca must of known that her mom would’ve been worried. So, I don’t know why she didn’t try and find a way to call, and why the other people she was with didn’t have parents worried about them.
Arie reminds me of Mr. Rogers.
I’ll admit this is the first season of the Bachelor that I’ve actually watched. With that said, is it always the case that they all hook up with him when it gets down to three? And does the “Bachelor” always throw out the “I love you’s” like Arie does? Maybe that’s normal on this show but it just feels kind of smarmy (and insincere) to be professing your “LOVE” individually like that KNOWING you’re gonna kick 2 out of 3 girls to the curb in a matter of days.
I also really don’t think I would sleep with the guy knowing there are still 2 other gals “in” the relationship. Watching it makes it look like he gets to sample them all in bed before “picking” one. Even if I were at the point where I was all in and ready to sleep with him I would feel kinda cheap doing it before I even knew if we were still going to be together in another week. Yuck. but hey, that’s just me.
It is different every season. They usually all agree to go, but don’t always have sex. What normally DOES NOT HAPPEN is that the guy tells them all he loves them and sees a future with them and wants an engagement.
This is the douchiest douchebag since the season of Juan Pablo. EEEES NOT OKAY!
Definitely worst Bachelor since Juan Pablo. And I really REALLY didn’t like Nick, so there you have it. I was not excited when they picked him, swore off watching this season, then obviously watched all of this season anyways, and am wishing I didn’t (even though, of course, I’ll watch the rest). I think this was a great group of women – sure there are a few kookie ones (ah-hem, Krystal), but on the whole they are super attractive and a generally a fun, smart, grounded, employed group. I second whoever said that these ladies are all too good for him.
