THE BACHELOR, EPISODE VII: OVERNIGHT DATES

This is the episode where the Bachelor awkwardly asks all the girls if they want to go see his “fantasy suite”, which is a euphemism for penis. It’s great.

We’re in Hawaii, where Andy lives. He’s in his Navy whites, or as Jack Nicholson called them in “A Few Good Men”, his “faggoty white uniform”. You gotta love Colonel Jessup, and it’s interesting that Tom Cruise was cool with that line. Anyway, Andy shows BBD Pearl Harbor. What he should do is show her a good psychiatrist.

Oddly, this only lasts a few minutes, and then BBD exits and Danielle enters. This guy really digs Pearl Harbor. Danielle says that the day “showed Andy that I have respect for people in the military”. When was the last time someone dissed the military? No one ever does that. I think the list of untouchables goes: babies, military, panda bears.

Tessa is the next to visit Pear Harbor. She is easily going to win. And by the way, nothing says romance like checking out the second worst attack ever perpetuated on US soil.

The first overnight date is in Kauai with Tessa. They swing around on zip lines and shit. Is this a date or episode of Survivor? If I was gay, I wouldn’t go out with this dude. When I’m in Hawaii, I’m chillin’, I’m not running obstacle courses in the jungle.

In a stunning turn of events, Tessa accepts the invitation to check out Andy’s penis, er, fantasy suite.

Danielle is next, get ready for some dead boyfriend talk.

Andy and Danielle go on a boat and see dolphins and whales. Danielle says “I just wanna touch one”. Save it for the fantasy suite, lady.

If Danielle is 25, I’m a panda bear.

Danielle talks some nonsense about how a psychic told her that the third guy she met she was going to marry. I have a really mean dead boyfriend joke, but I don’t need the bad karma.

Upon hearing this story, the Bachelor producers scramble and find a psychic in Hawaii to appear on camera at dinner that night. Great hustle, guys.

Wait, check that. This so called psychic isn’t using tarot cards, she’s using regular playing cards. What the fuck? I think this is one one of the Bachelor producers playing the role of psychic.

There’s a lot of lame talk between these two, I don’t care what the psychic said, it’s not going to happen.

Man, I really hate Andy’s lazy delivery. The way he talks drives me insane.

Finally, some entertainment…It’s crazy BBD time!

Whoa, BBD is tatted up. Maybe that’s why Andy likes her, it looks like there’s a bald eagle on the small of her back. I don’t to be crude here, but this is an honest question : is it unpatriotic for Andy to finish doing the deed on a bald eagle? They might have to go strictly missionary.

There’s a montage of them laughing and hugging and kissing. Just think: if Tessa wins, how is she feeling as she’s watching this? This would be a great component of the black bachelor. Film the girl who won as she’s watching the episodes – “Oh no you didn’t make out with that crazy bitch! I don’t care if you gave me that punk ass promise ring, I’m gonna cut you, motherfucker!”

BBD accepts the fantasy suite offer on the grounds that they will continue the conversation and Andy will get to know her better. But all Andy can hear is “bald eagle, bald eagle, bald eagle”.

Andy talks to his “friend” about the girls. It’s like watching Ryan Seacrest tell Jesse Metcalfe about all the hot chicks he knows.

Why do they keep saying that being married before is the most scandalous thing ever? I know I’ve gone crazy over this before but seriously, is this 1955? The giant eagle on her back, the crying every two seconds, the entering a reality show to find a husband, that’s all perfectly fine. But the ex-husband? That’s crossing a line.

ROSE CEREMONY

I think Danielle is gone, but we’ll see…

BBD gets the first rose. This dude loves the drama, and by drama I mean the bald eagle.

Tessa is in, of course she is.

Danielle is sent packing. She has to be one of the least known, most obvious “never had a chance” girls ever in the final three. It’s still weird that Amber didn’t make it as far as her. Danielle really rode the dead boyfriend card to…well, to death.

Thanks for reading! Goodnight!

I realized last night that he is the most boring man I have ever seen. I think he is a ken doll come to life with no personality. Tessa is a completely boring person also. His teeth drive me crazy or maybe it is as you said his speech mannerisms. Anyway he's to good for Bevin

I can't believe you did not comment more on Andy's friend/boyfriend. I think we finally had Andy's boyfriend "come out of the closet"

I agree...I can't believe there wasn't more to be said about his best friend. Only this lame guy would have a best friend named...Gatsby.
I think Andy barely moves his mouth when he talks....it drives me crazy!!

dawn - i completely agree - andy is vapid personality and charisma-wise. all of his genetic luck went into book smarts and passion for ab machines. ugh. i know these girls are isolated with him and must have some built-up sense of intimacy, but come on!! can you imagine waking up to him day after day after day.... it's like a train wreck and i can't tear myself away!

i have to admit, i gave andy the benfit of the doubt on the whole gay thing but after watching him and gatsby chat about the women, i'm just not so sure anymore

the producers trying to fool us into thinking tessa might actually say NO to the fantasy suite was one of the worst f jobs in bachelor history. at least with saide, there was some actual contemplation before she said yes, tessa didn't even flinch.

this will be the third season in a row i issue this ultimatum and i am really going to follow it this time, i swear - if he picks bevin, the train is out

nothing says skank like the bald eagle ass tatt, lose BBD idiot!

if the bachelor defies my wishes a third consecutive season and does pick BBD, in a way i will feel relieved for Tessa b/c he looks like more and more of an empty suit every single episode.

making out underwater in the salty ocean with a 30 year old near widow is one thing. but making out underwater in a DIRTY ass pond with a 38 year old ex-wife is just wrong.

i can't wait for the BBD explosion. even gay men know not to marry a woman with a tat above her ass.

Check this out. Looks like Gatsby is really Mitch Thrower.

It seemed like up until now you guys didn't have my back (no pun intended) on this gay thing. Plus, I seem to go on at length about it so I held back, though I did do the Seacrest/Jesse Metcalfe joke.

If any of you checked out the link above, I wouldn't believe it. Gatsby was definitely a nickname, but I don't think Andy is pranking the show. If he was, you'd think he'd be doing some actual funny/interesting shit.

Seriously, if poor Whatsername is what 25 looks like, NO WONDER I still get carded.

When I saw BBD's lower back tattoo I had to yell out "tramp stamp!!" Scared the crap out the cats.

After BBD $ Ken jumped into the water did anyone else laugh at the way BBD vigorously shook her hair when she came up? So over the top. Plus, any female (except for those 10 and under) knows that you lean your head in the water to slick back your hair when you're trying to flirt with a guy. BBD's was a big ole mop. All I could think of was "wait until she sees this footage." LOL ...

It was just announced that there will be a Women Tell All episode this year! It will be the week after the final show on Tuesday, May 29th not sure what time. I can't wait to see what you have to say about all of the crazy girls.

Jenn in Sac..I am SO with you on the shaking of the head thing. I thought the EXACT same thing. What woman does that?? I don't think even 10 years old and below do it!!

evier said...

Damn, there was a boyfriend gab fest and I missed it? I fell asleep halfway through the episode.

BBD might be crazy, and I agree with you about the 1955 thing, but it is really hard for a divorced woman not to feel like a pariah in the dating scene. For some reason, divorced men are regarded as being able to commit -- it just didn't work out, and women are regarded as trampy whores who can't make a relationship work.
