Here we gooooooooo . . .
The Men Tell All.
Actually, first, there was a visit from Ashley and J.P.
It was fine. And it was . . . well, I’m just going to say it. It was weird. Ashley is pregnant so they decided to have a live ultra sound. As in, an ultrasound on LIVE TV. Although I am sure it was recorded earlier in the day. Or even earlier than that. What do I know?
I don’t know. I think it was supposed to be a special moment so maybe I wasn’t supposed to be designing a classroom poster while I was watching. Maybe it would have been more meaningful to me then.
What I do know is that I don’t know what any of that was about.
Anywho, they are having a boy. And I think they’re naming him Harrison, although that might have been a joke. But it’s a good name. I dig it.
I was way more into the Bachelor Pad in Paradise preview, let me tell you. Holy moly, there is blood and an ambulance and crying and then some guy is in handcuffs!!!! As in, he was probably being arrested, although now that I think about it, it could just has easily have been handcuffs for some other reason of which we will not go into, seeing as how this is a teaching blog. Ahem.
Finally, after about a half an hour of everything that had absolutely nothing to do with The Men Tell All, they finally introduced the men. And each one was wearing a scarf which was hilarious. I love a good funny joke.
They sure did wear a lot of stupid scarves this season, didn’t they? Or, actually, the scarves weren’t stupid. It’s just that some of the boys looked stupid whilst wearing one.
They re-hashed the whole what did Andrew say when Andi gave Ron a rose and was it a racist comment or was it completely innocent . . . it was very uncomfortable, especially when Andrew mistakenly called Marquel, Ron.
Oh man. No.
Then JJ, the guy who said Andrew said the comment, got a lot of heat because apparently he stirred the pot a lot instead of being a man and going right up to the person that said it and confronting him.
Which, if we’re being clear, is pretty much what it’s like when you’re a girl and drama ensues. Am I right? I think so. Or maybe that’s just me. Although, I am not a pot stirrer. I’m talking about my inability to confront anyone.
Except for that one time that I . . . well, I think there was this time when I . . .
No. I don’t confront people. It runs in my family.
The men rehashed this whole thing for a very long period of time. Apologies were made and maybe accepted . . . I’m really not sure.
We went to commercial and when it came back on, JJ interrupted the whole flow of everything by trying to stand up for himself and apologize, although he didn’t do a very good job of it because he ended up saying I really don’t care. So Coach Brian said it wasn’t a good apology and then JJ said, well, I just needed to get it off my chest.
Let me put it this way. JJ FAILED.
Marquel sat in the hot seat. They talked about the Friend Zone and Marquel’s emotional exit. And cookies. Marquel is going to be on the Bachelor Paradise Pad so he will be just fine. Unless he is the one arrested, and then maybe not. He passed out cookies to the audience which really made me want to be there. I can always eat a cookie. Unless it has raisins in it. Then I can’t.
Gross.
Marcus was up next. Looking back at his footage was hard for me. Because that poor guy was just too desperate. Mr. Desperado. Why didn’t I nickname him that a long time ago? Darn it. I hate when I get my good ideas and it’s too late.
The audience awwwwwed and showed pouty faces. Marcus had a lot of fans. I was bewildered.
Marcus said he still had a lot of unanswered questions about what happened . . .
Let me help you out there, Mr. Desperado. You loved her, but she loved someone else.
THE END.
And, apparently, he is over her because he, too, will be joining all of the other single people in Paradise. Bachelor Paradise, that is.
Next up was Farmer Chris. I still love that guy and I do not want him to end up in Paradise. I need him to be the next bachelor. Maybe he’ll bring some class to this whole thing and not make me feel ashamed about watching all of this!
Chris and Chris chit chatted for awhile and I sat on the edge of my mattress waiting for the announcement that we have our new bachelor.
HOWEVER, some random chick from the studio audience interrupted both of them and yelled out and asked to meet Farmer Chris and they (the powers that be? Harrison?) allowed her to come down to the stage (she didn’t have a microphone) as if it was a free for all. THAT’S how easy it is? You just have to yell out in a rude manner disguised as cute and flirty?
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? I think I need to get tickets to the next studio audience . . . and I could even bring my own microphone. That would be helpful and very sweet of me, I think.
Andi came out next. She sang Farmer Chris’sssss praises and loved that he was such a gentleman.
Chris Harrison had the lie detector test results that Andi threw away. He had copies.
Three men lied: Marcus (he lied about having slept with fewer than 20 women) !!!!!!!!!!! , Dylan (he lied about preferring brunettes and he lied about being ready for marriage) and JOSH.
Josh lied.
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, not my Joshie! {Insert emoji with a horrified look on one’s face} There was a big ole debate about whether or not she should know Josh’s lies . . . but then a bunch of the guys told her not to find out, to trust the process, etc. So she chose not to know.
But I kind of want to know. I think I need to know. I think I will not be sleeping from now on while I wonder what Josh lied about.
Then they showed bloopers which were fun and silly. I always love the bloopers. The bloopers make me want my own reality TV show. Or even a sitcom.
Last, they reviewed the romance between Josh and Andi, and then between Nick and Andi.
Josh’s romance — whoa. Josh is confident. He is always touching her and loving on her and looking at her . . .
Nick’s romance — it’s a lot of talking. They touch a lot, too, but Josh just seems more confident in his feelings, whereas Nick almost seems . . . I don’t know.
I am just not a Nick fan. I think we all know that.
And there you have it. The Men Tell All.
So now we wait one week to find out who Andi picks. And then it will be over. And we can move on with our lives.
And with Bachelor in Paradise, obviously. I mean, come on now. We have to watch that. I don’t know if I can talk about it, though. I am on the fence on that one!
Thanks so much for all the happy comments on my post yesterday! You all have great things going on right now and it is awesome reading all of them. It seriously made me feel better! π Plus an evening with The Bachelorette always soothes the soul is what I always say.
I’m not picking winners until Wednesday so be sure to click {HERE} and enter! π
The Polished Teacher says
I always watch The Bachelorette thinking what would Teeny say about this part? You hit the nail on the head with JJ. Big time flop on his part striking it back up for the attention.
The new paradise show? They sure know how to show some serious drama with the ambulance and handcuffs! I am not sure about the concept of new people being introduced each week though. They don't need any new people when they have all the biggest drama queens from the get go!
Oh what can I say about Farmer Chris? Please let that tractor boy be the new bachelor! I am obsessed with his family! I thought for sure when the girl raised her hand it was a ploy for the announcement of him as the newest bachelor. Nope. Never saw that coming. They were so lenient about just striking up a speed date. You better be at the next episode with your microphone on account of all the teachers out here!
I think that Andi and Josh make a perfect looking couple but I am not sold on him yet. I definitely like him over Nick (who I am not at all a fan of) although I preferred Nick's family way more. Also, does the fact that Andi didn't want to see Josh's results lead me to believe that she picked him and doesn't want to ruin it? What about the secret letter Chris Harrison brought in after the credits rolled from one of the final 2 men? Is it just me or are they getting all fancy with their letter writing skills this season?
Well there's my rant on the Men Tell All. I am going to take after you and eat some tortillas and watch reality TV. Have you seen the adult version Toddlers and Tiaras called Game of Crowns on Bravo? It was on after The Real Housewives one day and I watched it. The drama on that show is ridiculous!

Ummm…question….what is up with that piece of paper that Chris Harrison gave Andi at the very very end of the show??? I thought he said one of the guys wrote it and she should read it but instead she huffed, and stared at it?!?!?!
Dalynn Holling says
Right?! That was really weird. I was confused about when in time that event took place. Was it a part of the preview for next week? I didn't like it. Oh, ABC and their drama and editing…
kristinoldham@yahoo.com says
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I need to go re-watch the end right now!
Danielle says
SOOOOOO glad I am not alone! I am terribly confused about when that takes/took place!
BTW, Teeny, I am the secondary teacher who met you in Vegas at the happy hour after the TPT conference who only started watching the Bachelorette because I wanted to be able to read your posts the next day! Glad I got to meet you "in person!"
I Love Common Core says
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused about the paper at the end. My DVR had some issues on Monday and didn't record any of it so I was only able to watch the end. I kept thinking that surely there had to be something important I missed that would explain the paperβ¦I guess not. What is it?!?!?!
Also, the ultrasound was so strange. Why not do something cute like open a box of balloons or slice the pink or blue cake? To make it even more weird I thought I had read something about them having a baby months ago and there it is, http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/04/30/bachelorette-ashley-hebert-pregnant-jp-rosenbaum-expecting-son/
They knew they were having a boy months ago but they just pretended they had no idea. Weird, right?
Brittani Black says
I need to go re-watch the end also!! I did not see this part! π
Jane says
Didn't see it here either!
I coudn't watch the ultrasound – had to leave and take my dog for a walk. Really – an ultrasound on air – ugh.
And that girl in the audience asking Chris a question I'm thinking was a total setup. I am guessing they asked the audience before the show who would be willing to yell out a question to Chris.
Love your recaps!

Kristin-
You crack me up! So many weird parts this season in all! Bachelor Pad, that's where things always get good. It may or may not be one of my highlights every summer. I know that's not weird because you agree with me!

I missed the scarf part of the show (something is wrong with the DVR…ugh). But what was up with all the red pants?
Catherine N. says
I noticed the red pants, too! Honestly, not a fan of red pants. Anyway, I am SO disappointed that they didn't announce a new bachelor. I thought it might be the cookie man. Also, maybe Andi didn't read what Josh lied about because she DIDN'T pick him, so it doesn't matter to her? You never know. I can't wait to see what that letter is about next week!

YES!! I have been saying the same thing the whole time…farmer Chris need to be the next Bachelor…he is AMAZING (I'm married too lol!)! But ya, that show won't have anyone on like him again so he better be the next Bachelor!

SO we are totally in sync. On air ultrasound…ew…raisins…double ew…and Farmer Chris should totally be the next bachelor. I too need to re-watch to see this note thing. That's what happens when I am on the computer and watching at the same time. I think Chris should have told her Josh's lies. If it were me I would want to know. You totally need to do Talk About It Tuesday for Bachelor Pad in Paradise. You are the only reason i watch…lol. Fantastic commentary as usual.
