It is about all I can do to type “WTF were you thinking Jake?” But then again, I have said that
countless times at the end of past seasons of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. Why do I keep watching? I don’t know, except it is one of my silly little guilty pleasures to heckle this show!
After last week’s show I had even posted that Jake may not choose anyone–after last week’s preview showed Jake “pulling a Mesnick” (as Chris Harrison put it). But, alas. He did choose a fiancé–and he chose Vienna.
And if you remember one of my previous recap posts from this season you know why I opened the post with “WTF Jake?”–because out of the last two women standing… he did indeed have “The Lady and the Tramp” to choose from.
We shall see if the Jake and Vienna pairing is a match that is truly on the wings of love, or if that’s just what they’re selling us! HA! There are already reports that Jake is cheating…
Speaking of selling… Jason and Molly are getting married… and guess what? The wedding will air next week 0n ABC. Chris Harrison also announced that Ali Fedotowsky was to be the next Bachelorette.
Hey, no one ever promised us a rose garden! 😉

OK. I thought I was finished posting about this round of The Bachelor. As crazy as it sounds, there 
What is it that Jason finds most important in his new relationship with Molly?
Speaking of Jillian: the best friend searching, hot dog testing, hot tub cavorting Canadian is going to be the next Bachelorette. I think most of us saw that one coming. She did tell Chris that her goal for her next shot at finding love on TV was for her father to not have to see her in a hot tub again. We will see about that! 🙂
So here is the scene:
(Of course, only moments after weeping profusely about having to let Molly go). 
Melissa several times after the proposal and all was going well. 
Oh yeh, the whole DeAnna Pappas thing was anti-climactic as I suspected. She showed up, told Jason she made a mistake and wanted another chance with Jason. Jason said “thanks for this opportunity to tell you that I am in love with two other women.” Then DeAnna left with her parting advice to Jason “be smart.” He must have blocked that last comment.
present. Now, tonight After the Final Rose Part 2 will be on TV.
Ah yes! Last night was the installment of the 
est friends and not seeing the passion that was clearly evident on camera. If that is not passion, I don’t know what is! How is he going to explain to his son that what he was doing in the hot tub is something people do with their best friends?
She’s BAAACCCKKK! DeAnna will finally made her much publicized visit 
to the Bachelor next week in New Zealand.
What was her “mistake”? Will she explain why she is wearing that hideous outfit?
This week the Bachelor whisked the 3 remaining ladies off to 
The dates all seemed pretty status quo–except for Jason’s commentary regarding Jillian’s belief that the most important part of a relationship is for the couple to be “best friends.” One could easily tell that this was way far apart from Jason’s primary agenda. Although, their hot tub scene seemed pretty passionate to onlookers.
end of the night? THIS look on Jason’s face.
On with the recap of the four big hometown dates! Jason was whisked off to four different locations to meet four women’s family and friends. How does Jason cope with all the craziness, sob stories about these girl’s families, jet lag and missing his son? That’s right! Adult beverages! You almost never see a scene in this show without a glass of something in their hands.
before she took him to meet them. Well, except maybe for Molly. But her Mom’s little hat puppet show spoke for itself! How does Jason choose which in-laws he wants to fly over the coo-coo’s nest with on holidays?
unmemorable that little detail could even be recalled! Send up a red flag to anyone else?
Chris states “Jason believes one of you will become his wife,” but what about the DeAnna factor? After seeing the brief preview clip last night, I am starting to think it has been a big lead up into nothing. I think that the scene they keep showing with DeAnna telling Jason “I made a mistake” will be more about her advice to Jason of not rushing into a TV engagement and less about her asking him for another chance. Chris Harrison called DeAnna’s arrival the “most shocking twist in Bachelor history” and then ominously noted “…and it changes everything” as they show Jason later collapsing in tears. We will see.
The evening would not be complete without the weekly 
about ABC kicks into the country’s piggy bank a little and just send Jason to Bakersfield or somewhere a little easier on the old wallet with the final three! 😉 Of course Chris Harrison could not call those the “dates of a lifetime.” LOL.
We were down to Molly, Jillian, Stephanie, Naomi, and Melissa. I was actually surprised that Jason sent Stephanie home last night! Probably only because I was rooting for her a little. Because if I looked at how transparent Jason is with his chemistry with each and every woman, the passion was just not evident with Stephanie. He seemed to care for her, but I think he was still taken by the younger gals. I am not a huge Naomi fan, so I thought it would have been perfect to eliminate her. He even took Naomi aside at the last minute of the rose ceremony, but in the end Stephanie went gracefully home.
all of them and there doesn’t seem to be any one or two that are ahead of the crowd yet. Interesting… this could be a perfect setup for the re-introduction of DeAnna Pappas. I still see this as unlikely because it seems too hard for Jason to swallow his pride and take DeAnna back… unless he has really been holding on to an unrequited love 
for her. When are they planning on bringing her back anyway, right before the final rose ceremony? Plus, considering 
house instead.
