Bachelorette: Week 3 Recap

1.  If I’m that bike, I’m having a REAL bad day today.

sumo on bike

Also… this was on the menu last night at my house.  So I’m not far behind.

2.  Holy sweet baby Jesus.  The best part of waking up every day would be rolling over and seeing THAT.  jfkdl;sajfkdjslkfjdksljfkljklfdsa

ben in am

3.  “I really love Japanese culture… I love sushi, I love….” (aaaand yep, that’s all he’s got folks).  Dude, get this guy outta here.

4.  Look at this little sugarplum!  Gettin’ in love wherever he can.

5.  Haaaaaaa I love her.  And I wouldah done the same thing.

love her

6.  Poor Bart.  Bless his heart left nut.

7.  Watching JJ get tossed out of the ring feels like opening presents Christmas morning.  Or swimming with mermaids.  Or dunking a heavily buttered baguette in my coffee.  Or, how I would feel if Gus had like, 10 puppies.  Utter bliss.

8.  Behold, ladies & gentlemen: proof that man babies DO still exist, even at the age of 35.  Acting like a fussy kid in diapers while actually IN a diaper is just the icing on the cake.  FIRST he’s all beating his chest and slicking back his hair, à la, “These dudes don’t know who they’re f*cking with.” And then 2.2 seconds after he gets manhandled like a little girl, he’s traipsing off set like somebody just took away his Tonka Twucks and pouting about how he’s not a fighter and doesn’t do violence?? Bahahaa.  I call the p-word.  And I don’t mean pouty.

9.  I mean, choosing a favorite Tony line of the night is like trying to choose a favorite star in the sky.  Where do I begin??

I have the heart of a WARRIOR and the spirit of a gypsy.”

Why can’t we go to the zoo?”

I just wanna go back to my bonsai trees.”  (Hold please… I just dropped the mic.)

I’m not a quitter… I’m walking away on my terms.”  …you’re totally right, you sweet little nut bucket.  It’s not a half dozen, it’s 6.  It’s not a baby deer (eyeroll), it’s a fawn.  When I was born, I weighed 9 pounds and 16 ounces.  Pretty sure “walking away” is synonymous with “quitting.”  Namaste.

10.  TELL ME this wouldn’t be the most amazing couple in Bachelor History. #mfeo

11.  Cupcake needs to help his boy JJ out with some Crest Whitestrips, cuz dem toofs are about 20x tanner than his chest.

teeth

He also needs a sumo-sized dose of Proactiv for his back.  And a good swift kick in the nuts.  AND some humility.  I could go on, but I gotta go to work today at some point.

12.  Kaitlyn (playfully) calling out “If someone HANDED me a snake I would totally take it, but when it’s wrapped around a toilet, that’s a totally different story” = huhlarious, and so true.  Sweet, sweet Ben.  He’s a big, meaty stud with goo on the inside.

13.  Shifting gears: Ben talking about his mom slays me.

14.  Am I the only person in America who doens’t buy the Clint + JJ hoax?  I don’t think they’re in love with each other; I think they’re both just in love with themselves.

clint jj

15.  I actually cannot believe Bart let his buddy Ryan walk out of the house like this. Loan a brotha a dollop of Dep, wouldja?

16.  These kids are effing hilarious.  Child Oscars for everyone.  Maybe the best stunt in Bachelor history.

kids

17.  I love that they can show Juan Pablo and Claire doin’ the nasty in the ocean, everybody mounting everybody else in the hot tub, but Idaho doing the same tampon torpedo demo that’s on the back of the Tampax box isn’t suitable for television.

18.  Ben H has spoken.  And by “spoken” I mean turned reproduction into a Nora Ephron-esque love story.  Everyone else: take a moment, and say your goodbyes.

ben h for president

19.  I don’t wanna be mean cuz he IS such a sweet guy, but how come when I look at White Fang aka the Manager at Denny’s, I have visions of the time Donnie Wahlberg lost 50-some pounds to play the schizophrenic guy in The Sixth Sense.  Or when Christian Bale didn’t eat for a year to play the crack addict from The Fighter? Just sayin’.  I kinda wanna feed him some Papa John’s and then let him grab a shower and a shave.

20.  I mean.  I can’t even believe I missed this doppelgänger before.  If anyone needs me, I’ll be in a self-inflicted timeout.

What did I miss?  I’m sure tons.  Because last night’s episode was HILARIOUS and brimming with more nonsense than I could possibly recap in one day.

xoxo!

Bachelorette: Week 2 Recap

If you’re late to the game and missed Week 1, here you go: Night 1 | Night 2.

1.  HAAAAAAAAA – “Cupcake” in air quotes is amazing.  I die.

Cupcake

2.  Ben Z knocking the speed bag off the doohickey is JUST the sort of thing that wet dreams are made of.

speedbag

3.  Dude, I seriously can’t take this guy.  I actually screamed “EWWWWW!” when he kissed Kaitlyn… like it was a personal affront to girls everywhere.  It was so yucky I thought about paying Gus in Scooby Snacks to scratch my eyes out.

Also…  if he had ever seen Steel Magnolias then perhaps he would’ve known what Shelby’s Daddy always says: ‘an ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure.’ Last: if he’s smarter than 90% of the guys there, then how come he doesn’t know “underspoken” isn’t a word?

4.  Amy can’t handle him either, and I love her for it.  Best line of the night? “…maybe when he sees the show he’ll reflect on himself and not be such a turd.” FJkldjskljfklajkljakjakja.  Also, if you missed her shutting him down, check it out here.

5.  Let’s play the doppelgänger game real quick, shall we?

…I mean, obviously.

Uncanny.

Do you think grown-up baby Oscar aka Clint will resurrect the yellow onesie if we ask nicely? #stillthecutest

6.  Dear Boys EVERYWHERE: Take note… passing notes is just about the cutest move of all time.  Especially because none of us have been passed a note since the 7th grade.  If you don’t believe me, just look at Kaitlyn’s face:

note note2 note 4

…and if you still don’t believe me, why don’t you call that now 26-year old hunky dreamboat in Minneapolis we’ll call “Show Pony” who walked by me in the operating room 3 years ago in super slow mo, looked me right in the eye with gooey boyish confidence in super John Hughes rom com style, and handed me a folded up piece of college-rule notebook paper.  I think I peed in my scrubs… and then I think I let him take me on a date that night.  See?  Works every time.

7.  White Fang’s beard seriously looks like everyone in San Diego’s yard right now.  We may have to pop some Miracle Gro or fertilizer in his aftershave.

8.  I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Baby Oscar’s boutah give my boyfriend Ben Z a run for his money.  Timeouttimeouttimeout: Did he seriously just say “I think you took my breath away today”???  Ehhhrrrmahgarh.  I love him.

9. …wait.  Tony honey back up and lemme try to wrap my brain around that dissertation of indiscernible nonsense you just spat out.  See – Bart’s in a trance and just as confused as I am.

10.  Um is this the best group of dudes EVER (???) cuz they just graciously decided to give the guys who hadn’t gotten any time with Kaitlyn some time at the beginning of the rose ceremony.  So sweet.  Oh wait!!!  Dem Toofs aka JJ just ruined it by being a jack a$$.

11.  I feel the same way about JJ already in week 2 the way that I felt about the likes of Juan Pablo, Nick aka chews-on-rocks from Andi’s season, and Chris Bukowski. Also… I LEGIT think JJ fills his bleaching trays with red wine + coffee before he goes to bed.  Cuz they’re 50 shades of purple & brown.  PS: did you know you should bite into a piece of cheese if you’re gonna drink red wine at a party?  It creates a film over your teeth so they don’t turn (as) red.  BOOM.

12.  I’ve actually NEVER liked Kaitlyn more than when she took no prisoners and sent Kuba aka Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs packing.  Strong move, sister.  I also thought it was really sweet when – before she gave out the rose on the date – she went around the room and talked about a few things she loved about her conversation with a few guys.  Classy move.

smell ya kuba

13.  Did he take 7 shots of testosterone before the rose ceremony?  Perhaps Tony needs to come outside and do a little kumbaya with Kuba to settle him down.

14.  Dear ABC: this is seriously becoming the most annoying habit.

unacceptable

15.  I swear I smell incense burning and see peace signs everywhere. #woodstock2015

That’s all I got!  Have a great restuh the week!
