Okay I apologize.
Profusely.
I was living it up in Oklahoma. Kerry, and our friend, Caryn, were all set for me to blog from the hotel room and guess what?
It wasn’t free. It was $12.95. For wifi.
And, I’m sorry, but it wasn’t worth it. Especially because we saw Snow White and the Huntsmen for only $4. You can’t beat that. Well, maybe you can, but you need to leave me the name, address, and directions below. Then we had the Olive Garden for free because I had gift cards. And our hotel was free because my brother-in-law travels and we used his Marriott points. So spending $12.95 on wifi seemed very extravagant. I told Caryn that she should contribute to it since we took care of the food and hotel, but it turns out we’re not as close as I thought we were.
I am proud to say that we went to the hotel bar and ordered drinks for our birthdays.
Sadly, we were not carded. We had to drown our sorrows.
The last thing any of us can remember is Caryn dancing on the tables. We are afraid we might end up in a tabloid magazine. Again.
I kid.
We are back in Texas. There is a huge rainstorm going on. The kind we don’t get in California. I am loving it. LOVING IT. Now everyone is trapped happily at home, in pjs, watching movies, and blogging. I may be the only one in heaven.
Onto the Bachelorette!
What a great episode!
Let’s just dive right in, shall we?
So… Doug.
He needs to lighten up. Like, a lot. Like, just calm down, man. I mean, like, it’s just a joke.
Anyone else notice his overuse of the word like? And he’s mature? Okaaaay.
So off they go. Shopping. But first, he says, “Are we shopping?” and then he says, “Are we sampling?”. It was kind of annoying. Like, are you irritating me? Like, more than anything.
I was also annoyed with the whole Superman/Best Man Ever routine.
He did what I did during my interview for my current school when the principal asked me to name a weakness. Well, I hemmed and hawed and then said that I just work too hard and needed to find another hobby besides school.
Shake head. Throw up a little.
Or pat myself on the back. Can’t decide.
Emily gave him a rose anyway. But he’s not going to kiss her. Nope. He never makes the first move.
Like, never ever.
Group Date: sailing
Did anyone else notice that Ryan just kind of sat on the boat and didn’t have to do anything? Isn’t he supposed to be physical? And strong? And manly? Because if I was on that boat, I would have been the one steering. And I think that’s what he was doing. And isn’t that what Arie does? Steers? Hmmmmmm…..
Yellow team won. Poor red.
Arie wasted no time. They made out. Smack. Insert other gross kiss noises here.
She wanted Jef to kiss her, but he didn’t.
Ryan was … a jerk. I’m not a fan.
I wanted to be, but I am over him. He is kind of a chauvinistic pig. And I wish Emily had not apologized to him about kissing Arie. She’s the Bachelorette. He’s not.
I couldn’t stand all of his “to whom much is given, blah blah blah.”
The two on one: Awkward!!!!!
What was wrong with Nate? Why the tears? I think Emily has a weepy effect on the boys. She could be used as a weapon of mass destruction in wars—the men would all end up crying and go home. It’s crazy.
So, of course she didn’t pick Nate. He cried.
She kept Wolf. Because his name alone makes it seem as if he would never cry. Maybe just howl every once in a while at a blue moon.
Rose Ceremony: Chris is all up in arms about the whole age thing. And he’s onto Ryan. He doesn’t know what it is exactly, but he feels it. I wanted to tell him that we feel it, too!!! Chris, we feel it, too!!
Turns out that Ryan thinks he could be the next bachelor.
Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I would like to see how that goes over.
I think not.
I must take a survey! Survey to follow!!!
She got rid of ponytail boy. Who did not say two words this whole time. But he cried. Another one succumbs to tears.
Then we have to say goodbye to Charlie. I called that one awhile ago. And he cried, too! She’s three for three!
And that’s all. Next week, someone calls Rickie baggage. And Emily is furious. Who do you think does that????
And do you think Ryan could be the next bachelor???
I leave you with those two important questions.
And I’ll just sit here in my pjs, listening to the thunder, and wait for your responses. Then I will compile the data and make graphs and charts. Or I’ll ask someone smart to do it for me.
It was great episode!! I actually watched it twice… haha.
So I re-watched the end to do some detective work about who said that bad thing. Based on the people they videoed who were talking about it, I decided that it can't be Chris, Ryan, Jef, Doug, or Arie. It could be Travis, Sean, Alejandro, or "Wolf". I am going to go with Travis because I hardly even know that guy and I don't care if he leaves.
I died when Ryan thought he could be the next Bachelor. We all hate you Ryan! Come on now.
I hope you are enjoying your vacation full of restaurants!!!! 🙂
Marvelous Multiagers!
I apparently left out Kalon in my list….. he is on the no side. Pretty sure it's not him who said it, even though it fits his personality… I'm on pins and needles, haha!!
Ew. I don't care for Ryan. Yuck! Or Doug. I picked up on Doug saying "like" too. It got like really annoying, really fast. And, now, I keep typing "dough" instead of Doug. It is driving me crazy! Now I really hate him.
To answer your questions:
I could never see Ryan as the next Bachelor. No way!
I think Kalon (sp?) said the comment about Rickie being "baggage." We will see. Maybe Travis.
Enjoy your pjs and the thunderstorm!

I dont' know why but I think it's Alejandro who says the baggage thing. I'm hoping it's Ryan b/c I just don't like him. She said she's on to him but why did she give him a rose? I guess he's good for ratings.
And as for Ryan being the next bachelor- didn't he just give himself away for why he's there!!?? NO NO NO he must NOT be the next bachelor.
Ryan should not be the next Bachelor! He is a A@@bag and other not so choice words!! Way to into himself! Higher standard my behind! How about you stop thinking you are all that and a bag of chips.
I fell asleep during the rose ceremony and deleted in my sleep haze.
I can not wait to see who calls Rickie "baggage" my guess is Kalon, because of what he said when they were all at the pool.
Enjoy your storm and hanging out in your PJ's.
I boycotted The Bachelors/Bachelorettes for a couple of years so I'm a little confused about something. Why don't all the guys go on dates each week? Alejandro didn't have a date this week, and last week, several of them didn't have dates. How can she get to know them or give them roses if she spends no time with them?? I don't get it!
I'm not a fan of Ryan, either. If ABC is hurting for drama, maybe they'll choose him. I don't think I could watch, though.
As far as the "baggage" comment, I hope it's not Travis. Just because of the Mississippi thing. Please be a Southern gentleman! It certainly would not be Doug. What about Kalon or Ryan? Sounds more like one of them. I don't know. I really like Arie and Sean, though. Hope it wasn't one of those two.

Um no way Ryan would be good!
My guess would be Kalon or Ryan who says it.
I miss you!! Not like I ever see you, but just knowing that you're gone!! lol
I love this

So much that I want to kiss you on the lips. Really.

I'll bet Kalan says it and no way for Ryan to be a bachelor ick. Arie has be THE one. He's too cute, and he met Dolly can't get any better sign than that. LoL
So did you "Thunder Up" while you were in Brick Town?

Is your sister as funny as you? You must spend all of your time cracking each other up. Sounds fun!

My guess is that it is Ryan who calls Rickie baggage. I think the voice heard in the background may have been a case of clever editing. It didn't sound like Ryan, but maybe they were trying to throw us off!
I read an article online earlier this evening that said they are considering asking Roberto, as in Ali's ex, Roberto to be the next Bachelor.
I love a good rainstorm!!! Nothing like relaxing indoors on a rainy day 🙂

I'm pretty sure it's Kalon who calls Rickie baggage. He just seems like the type that would do that, and he's said some pretty jerky things in the past episodes too.
I'm not a Ryan fan AT ALL. If he were the next bachelor I wouldn't watch it! No way! No how!
Nooooooo way for ryan to be the next bachelor!! I think arie is the one at this point so I'm hoping he didn't call Ricky baggage!

Oh man, I was really trying to pull for Ryan, since we went to school together…but I just can't!!! Definitely not a fan of his anymore…boo!
And am I the only one that doesn't like Arie? Something about his face…like he has that stupid look all the time. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
I most definitely adore Sean 🙂 but I have noooo clue who thinks Rickie is baggage…can't wait til next week!

Natalie, I agree with you, something about Arie!
Kristin, I think you are so freakin hilarious. I love you.
I hate Ryan and hope he's not the next Bachelor and I think it was he who used the term baggage!
I'm such a nerd that I read the Bachelorette blogs and got a kick out of one post. Someone said they should make Ryan the bachelor and then only pick insanely superficial women who have no time for him! Ha! I got a kick out of that! Oh! Did you watch the show For Love or Money? It is old but I used to get a kick out of it, the women in the end would choose the man or money! And I just have to say I looooove your blog so much. I'm looking for a teaching job in a insanely competitive area and had a discouraging day with job prospects and your blog always puts a smile on my face!
Mrs. Miller I think that would be the only way it would be entertaining with Ryan as the Bachelor. I would almost like to see that.
It would be awful to have to watch Ryan as the bachelor. It would just be painful to watch. The voice-over at the end made the "Ricki baggage comment" sound like Chris. But it's probably Kalon. I don't know how that fool made it this far.
How is Ryan still there? Emily even told Chris Harrison that she is on to Ryans manipulative ways. She is aware that all the drama in the house always involves Doug and Ryan. Their time is ticking, I think.
I must admit I just started watching so I don't know the names very well. But I do know Ryan and I DON'T like him at all. He is obviously there to further his career….dork!
The crying guy in the cave has emotional issues. Sometimes that's sweat, but not in his case. It was just weird. See ya!
I like the guy she was kissing…Arie is it? Something about him…..it is weird when the guys open their mouths and she doesn't though….ewwww.
I'll keep watching because I like to read your recaps.

I have to agree…I started watching just because I love your recaps. Only right now I am on vacation too. No time to watch. I am hanging with my mom (who traveled across the country to see me) and my sister. Neither want to watch. Good thing I learned I can watch on my i-pad. I can marathon it when my mom leaves and I am left alone and orphaned again.
Love taking a few minutes out of my pay attention to my mom day to read your blog. LOVE it!
Terri Izatt
Sounds like you are having a great time with your sister 🙂
Ryan-not sure about that one…

Fun in Room 4B
YEA! I forgive you and would have not paid the
$12.95 either. What a rip off.
Anywho.. HATE Ryan and I do not want to see him as a Bachelor. I would go back to my no tv watching days.
Who said Ricki is baggage – who else but Kalon. I HATE him too. Doug also needs to go. He has control issues in addition to the "like" issue. So does mushroom farmer – like she would ever marry a farmer. Pa-lease!
Final two – I say Arie and Sean. I like them both for different reasons.
Enjoy the rain and send some to AZ when you get a moment!!

Come home and meet me for coffee with Hadar. I need to chill out and act normal. I am packing, crying, presenting, yelling, and I really am just a hot mess. What else is new? Have fun on vacation. I am not finished until next FRIDAY. How are you at packing boxes? Wait, did I mention how glad I am that you are having such a great time?
Fran
Nice to hear you are having such a fabulous time on vacation.
Ryan… ick! Could he be the one that refers to Rickie as baggage? I kinda hope so just so he can go home!
Have fun and travel safe.
Do you ever wonder how you miss a post? Like, how it could ever be possible? I'm wondering that…right here, right now. I missed this post. The only reason I came over, wasn't to read this, but to ask you where you were, if you were okay, why you hadn't blogged in "oh so long" and then it was here {from a few days ago…so I don't expect something coming…right….about…..NOW!?!?}.
Can't wait to make blogging my full time "job" once I AM finally out of school.
