Bachelor Pad Recap – 8/30/10

For all your “Bachelor Pad” spoilers, click on the link at the top of the page under the banner. After next week, there’s really not many other spoilers to give since they head back to LA to film the finale next week. I’ll keep everyone updated here on the site if I hear what happens. I might, I might not. Not sure yet.

I think maybe ABC and DirecTV should probably get together and work out a few things so their “info” button on the TV doesn’t give the wrong description of the episode. Like last night’s. Any of you catch that? If you have DirecTV, the info button last night said this about last night’s episode: “An emotionally bruising competition sends three contestants home.” Uhhh, wrong week. Three girls go home next week. But hey, who cares at this point right? I mean, even without the spoilers you’ve had for the last two months, it’s been about as predictable as possible who’d be going home every week. Once again, Wes Hayden became the voice of reason. If you’re in a couple, you’re controlling the game. Wes tells that to every person who’s not in a couple in the house, yet, the couples keep lasting. I don’t know what strategy some of these people had going into the game, or even after it started, but it was horrible. How they couldn’t see these couples forming from a mile away was beyond me.

Speaking of couples, everyone keeps asking me which of these couples are still together, and which aren’t. So let me just run down the list for you and tell you where they stand:

Tenley and Kiptyn: YES. They are officially dating now. Not quite sure why it took this show for them to make it official, nor do I understand their relationship in the least bit, but they are dating now. Don’t mind all of her “Well, I don’t know, you’ll have to wait til the end to found out” answers that she’s been giving the press. They’re together. Whatever that means in the “Bachelor/ette” world.

Wes and Gia: Not a couple.
Jesse Beck and Peyton: Not a couple.
Jesse Kovacs and Elizabeth: Not a couple.
Dave and Natalie: Not a couple.
Natalie and Jesse Beck: Not a couple.
Natalie and anyone: Not a couple. Just making out.
Dave and Jessie: Not a couple.
Krisily and her vibrator: Definitely in love.

As for Gia in her exit interviews not answering whether or not she’s still together with her hockey player boyfriend and saying, “You’ll just have to wait til the finale”, she’s not. She’s just told to say because they don’t want it getting out that she’s single for whatever reason. I don’t see the big deal, but the show is trying to not have any outside influences on everyone coming back to vote, I guess. So there you have it. This is going to make things very interesting once the finale rolls around because all the contestants coming back to vote I’m guessing are aware Tenley and Kiptyn are dating now. And if those two happen to beat Dave and Natalie in the final challenge and become the final two, it should be quite the finale. But now that I know they are officially a couple, no way in hell either one of them doesn’t split the money with the other. They will be given the option. Count on it.

As for the new “Dancing with the Stars” cast, gotta admit that I’m surprised they decided not to go with Ali or Roberto, or both. Hopefully it was more of those two’s doing and not the shows. We all saw what happened to Jake and Vienna’s relationship once he joined that show. Ali can pretend she was never approached about it, but she was. However, I have no idea how far the negotiations got. Whatever the case, probably a good idea that neither are on it if they want some sort of normalcy to their relationship. And let’s stop with the whining about “These are ‘celebrities’?” People, since when has this show ever cast anyone that wasn’t a C or D list celebrity? Yes, the title is “Dancing with the Stars”, but the next time they get an “A” or “B” list celeb to appear on this show will be the first. Every season the cast gets released, every season I hear “Oh my God, talk about a bunch of no namers. How is ‘so-and-so’ a ‘star’”, yet every season the ratings keep going up and up. This season will be no different.

I have no idea if any of these 12 have any formal dance background, but I do know that pretty much every woman that watches this show will want Jennifer Grey to win. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner”. How many times do you think we’re gonna hear a reference to that this season? 50? 100 times? Barf. And by the way, holy facelift Batman! I know she’s 50 and it’s been years since “Dirty Dancing” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, but when did Jennifer get a new grill? Everybody, in some respect, still looks like their old self, even if it is 30 years later. Not her. If she wasn’t introduced as Jennifer Grey, I don’t think I would’ve known it was her. I guess that’s what Hollywood will do to you. Makes you want to get a whole new mask.

The show started with the fallout from Wes voting for Elizabeth last week, forcing Dave to cast the deciding vote. Wes and Dave had words for each other in the house that amounted to a whole lot of nothing. Dave thinks Wes betrayed him by voting Elizabeth, knowing that’d force a tie and he’d have to be the one to break it. I honestly don’t see Dave’s point here. If the object is to win $250k, and the only way Wes can do that is by trying to break up the couples, why is Dave acting as if Wes committed some form of treason? The Insiders are so offended that people want them out so they’re acting as if this game should be handed to them, and that, “Well, if you’re not in a couple, that’s not our fault”. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think these people were lucid the whole time they were there. The Insiders know exactly what they’re doing and for them to act offended that people want them out is ridiculous.

So challenge card arrives, it has all the questions on clipboards for everyone to fill out in private and, holy sh**!, Tenley’s crying while filling hers out. Damn. I thought we could at least go one episode where she doesn’t get overly emotional. Nope. Impossible. No one’s going to see her answers, yet, there she is in private whining about having to answer questions about people she considers her “friends”. It’s funny ? all of them hang out outside of the show, all of them act as if these people are part of their “immediate” family, yet I can’t begin to tell you how many talk sh** about each other. It’s pretty laughable. Guys do it about the girls, girls do it about the other girls, girls do it about the guys. It’s really comical. So, when you’re watching the show from now on, try not to take anything that anyone says positive about someone else too seriously. In public, they all like each other. Privately? Different story. There’s some serious hatred/jealousy/cattiness between these people.

So even when they were all filling their answers out in private, they still didn’t know exactly what the challenge would be. Really? Did they honestly think they’d fill those questionnaires out, then all the sudden, it’d never be brought up again? Why were they all so surprised at what the challenge was? “Survivor” has done it on numerous occasions. If there’s one thing “Bachelor Pad” failed on, it’s the challenges. This one definitely brought the drama, but was a complete rip-off of “Survivor”. The Kissing and Pie Eating Contests were straight from “Revenge of the Nerds”. And Twister they stole from some 5 year olds birthday party. Remember when this show was first announced and they said the challenges would be ones that had something to do with their previous experience on the show? Yeah, uhhhh, I guess they had a change of mind on that. Outside of this questionnaire, the challenges have been unoriginal, stupid, and completely lacking in any creativity whatsoever.

56 thoughts on “Bachelor Pad Recap – 8/30/10

  1. Steve – As always, I love your take on things! I’m actually commenting about the whole Jennifer Grey thing. She had rhinoplasty shortly after Dirty Dancing came out. That one procedure made her completely unrecognizable. She even starred in a very short-lived sitcom playing herself centered around the fact that no one recognized her! For the life of me I cannot understand why that sitcom didn’t make it.

  2. Steve, did you see Pearl Harbor? There is a scene where Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett go flying in the same kind of plane, and then go to the airport hangar (that looked exactly like the one in this ep) and make babies. Also, even though Jesse looked like an idiot when he was mixing his champagne and vodka, that is actually a popular drink in a lot of upscale bars. There is a french bistro in my city (DC) that serves this as a “Champagne Martini.” It does sound disgusting, but it is actually delicious and very refreshing. So even though Jesse is a gross hick, he was definitely onto something.

    I love how Natalie kept calling herself a “flirt.” Pretty sure you are way more than a flirt when you actually follow through. And that, my dear Natalie, is why none of the guys think you will get married.

  3. To clarify, I know there were no biplanes in WWII, I was referring to the whole “out in the open air” plane aspect. As you can tell, I am definitely not an expert on aviation. Just wanted to clarify before some smart alek poster called me out on that :)

  4. Sorry, did not get to see the show last night(will catch it on Tivo), but as far as Jennifer Grey, she should have left her nose alone! It made her look unique. The only thing I ever saw her on after Dirty Dancing was an episode of friends, where she played Rachel’s friend that ended up marrying Barry the dentist and she was unrecognizable with her new nose. Stupid career move.
    Ali and Roberto turning down Dancing was the smartest decision ever. Could it be that those 2 actually have brains and want to focus on building a real relationship? I hope so…

  5. Wes was totally correct about the way the show was going, and it’s surprising that he couldn’t get all of the Outsiders to go along with him. On the other hand, I think it’s obvious that the producers are manipulating this show, as they also manipulate the Bachelor/ette shows. They are encouraging this to be a couples show, even though at the end there is supposed to be only one winner. Thus, all of the dates and the voting out my the opposite sex, the interactions among the men and women, etc. So Wes was actually trying to change a trend for people to pair up that the producers were apparently encouraging. Or, maybe it is just human nature to pair up when women and men live together in the same quarters, and the producers had nothing to do with it? … Sure.

    I still like Natalie on this show. Totally different personality than mine, but I like her honesty.

    Also, loved Elizabeth’s comment about how she doesn’t know what the word shallow means. After hearing that, I was sort of surprised that she was not voted the dumbest.

  6. First of all, I think Dave is a hypocrite for being mad at Wes for putting him in the position of having to send Gia home, but then at the end he justifies lying to Krisily’s face by saying, “Well, it’s just a contest – what does she expect?”

    HOWEVER, I think Krisily was an idiot for trusting Dave. Yes, I get it, she has the hots for him but she was saying from the beginning everyone needed to break up the couples! Now suddenly she wants to prove her loyalty to Dave & send Wes home? I did love her rant, though. I agree, Krisily is honest & bitchy & in everyone’s faces but I far prefer that to crazy Elizabeth or whiny Tenley.

    But I thought Natalie had a good point when she said that this contest was really about building relationships. Krisily & Wes may be right but them being so outspoken was what got them off the show. Being a little more discreet probably would have worked better.

    My vote is for Natalie to win. Kiptyn is okay but I can’t stand Tenley & Dave is an a-hole.

  7. About DWTS – actually, I have heard of more of these people than is usual for this show. Most of the previous seasons there have been several who were unfamiliar to me. This time, only one (Rick Massey). It might be a good season this time, as there are not any obvious “ringers” who already know how to dance well. I found that really annoying when there have been extremely good dancers and it’s no contest.

  8. Ahhh Steve, I’m still laughing!!! Strawberry Shortcake!!! I so am disliking Tenely! She seems like a giggly, goofy airhead, not at all the character she appeared to be on Fakey Jakey’s season. I know Kip seems like a decent guy…but I think he could do a lot better than her. Wonder what magic he performed in the FS cause she sure was bouncing off the walls when they returned to the mansion!!

    Kovacs has never been honest and truthful from day one with Elizabeth. He knows she has influence with the women and wants to remain on the show. He’ll kiss her ass as long as it benefits him. And he is so ugly…along with beady eyed Dave. These women must be really hard up to think those two are cute!!! Ugh.

    Poor Natalie…just short of a few brain cells honey. Everyone told you what they think of you and you still cry. Fess up…you put yourself out there for any takers. Definitely not wifey material…even for Jesse James!!!

    I was so happy to see that Ali and Roberto are not on DWTS! They need to ration their appearances and work on keeping their relationship going in a positive way. I know they are obligated to ABC to make themselves available for various venues, but so glad it won’t be DWTS. And the cast this year…what a bunch of has beens. Florence Henderson! Come on, please. Makes me sad to think that these people need money this badily! Gonna be a boring season for sure.

  9. Just a DWTS comment….not sure about the other women, but….Jennifer Grey? She’s a dancer, studied dancing for years, way before she was cast in Dirty Dancing. I have a feeling she’s got a bit of an edge over, say, Palin! Guess we’ll see.

  10. I can’t believe no one, not even Steve, commented on the obvious looks of delight on Chris Harrison’s face as Melissa read out those ugly questions. He LOVED watching their reactions and discomfort as each question was read and clearly was looking forward to watching them squirm and (hopefully) cry. I was watching his face, not Melissa’s as she was reading, and he didn’t even attempt to hide his pleasure at the upcoming drama.

    I miss Weatherman and Michelle and Craig M. and still think that people shouldn’t be voted off, BP needs to come up with their own game (not Survivor for Sluts)and should keep the whole 19 people around. If everyone was voted into four teams and you could vote out someone each week, but that person was moved into another team and you got someone else’s outcast… now I could see some maneuvering and plotting that way. This whole couples thing is a yawn… especially since the most unlikable, unappealing people are hooking up. Funny how the “outsiders” are actually the “insiders” to the tv viewers… we don’t like any of the insiders. Too bad we aren’t voting on the final winner.

  11. Steve, don’t forget the infamous throwing someone “under the bus” which these producers also seem to love saying.

    Krisily was right in what she said at the end but she was a victim of her own rant. She voted off Wes (outsider, non couple) in return for the guys supposedly voting off Gwen (outsider, non couple)… so where did she think she was going with that speech about everyone being to scared to vote off the couples? Hello Kettle, it’s Pot… you’re black! I liked her up until last night.

    Sad to see Wes go, he was my fave… but what’s with the suicidal scenes of him in underwear (not even swim trunks) seemingly drowning away? I know he was upset to see Gia gone, but I think they went too far there.

    Wes is so cool he doesn’t even bother to get everyone’s names right… It’s “Krisily”, not “Krissy Lee”… too funny.

    Elizabeth cracked me up when she said Wes was an idiot for telling her to her face that they’ve got to eliminate the couples when she’s the one in the house most blatently in a couple… Perhaps a bit too straight up Wes.

    I’d say Kiptyn showed some inkling of morality by keeping Gwen around… but then again he had the rose so he could afford to have some integrity.

    Overall, some good laughs. Your column is great Steve.

  12. nuts- totally agree!! Too bad Wes knows that show is all hoop-la so I doubt he’d even consider it.

    Oh- and Natalie, get a clue! No way on earth you’d be considered marriage material. The way you act I’m surpised you didn’t toast/cheers to finding out the result of that question!

  13. Oh, the “chopping block” phrase is regularly used on the Food Network show Chopped! I guess somebody is a cook on this show.

  14. Tonight’s show will go down in the annals of reality TV history as a truly seminal episode, conferring as it did the triumph of legitimacy for that segment of the audience who has long contended that The Bachelor is the most.misogynistic.TV.show.ever!

    Devastated, shattered and sobbing – that’s how producer Mike Fleiss likes his women.

    There is bound to be an arc of some riveting reality lurking behind that!

    What happened, Mike? Come on, tell us about it. Just look at the little red light and let it all out.

    That was one hell of a round of Slambook!

    “Are you just saying that, or are you really going to cheer up?”
    Jesse K (or maybe it was Wes. The lighting was bad).

    Whatevs.

    Whenever I’m feeling emotionally traumatized, nothing cheers me up like watching a Real Live Former Disney Princess get ready to go shoot an obligatory zipline scene!

    It looks like those wacky BachPad kids agree, because everyone’s all smiles as Tenley chooses Kiptyn for her one on one date!

    Whoa! I so didn’t see that coming!

    “This is a one on one date, so I’m not sharing it with any other guys”
    Tenley

    But zipline shmipline, Jesse K and Peyton, our other dating couple, get to go on a biplane ride!

    Point to Ponder: What will happen when this franchise runs out of airborne transport devices?

  15. Yo Steve, awesome job.

    A few observations. First, is this the Bachelor Pad, ABC after School Special, or a movie made for Lifetime? You know, the movie where the unpopular girl (Krisily) agrees to get with the good looking popular guy for acceptance, sleeps with him, his films it, posts it on the internets, and then blows her off, only to find out that she wasn’t worth as many points as hotter girl who puts out because that’s just who she is (Natalie). ONly this bad movie doesn’t end with a great Aesop Fable moral ending, it ends with the unpopular girl lashing out, making herself look like a fool, and walking away with her tail between her legs.

    Say what you will about Krisily’s little outburst at the end, but she got suckered in by Dave. She was lashing out at herself. Talking about people not sticking to their guns, she changed her vote based on a wink and smile. She was leading the charge of breaking up the couples earlier, and was gaining support to vote Kovacs out. Charmed by the good looking guy, and she is quick to sell out the outsiders. Gia (rose to Wes), Nikki (changing vote from Kypton to Craig), and now Krisily. Stupid insecure, shalow, girls. Elizabeth has nothing on them.

    Sorry to see Wes go. His problem in this entire show is not how he played the game, but the fact the women he is cahoots with have a total IQ of about 43. Maybe it’s no wonder why they are the “outsiders”.

    Is there anyone out there that doesn’t hate Elizabeth? Or Tenley?

    The three chiefs, Dave, Kovacs, and Kypton have been unbreakable all show long. Everyone knew they had the power, but those girls just melt when those three pay any attention to them :Jessie, Nikki, and Krisily. They so desperately want to be accepted by the insiders, that they will screw themselves for that acceptance.

    Nice to know that the social lessons we learned in high school still apply in the adult world today.

  16. to “nuts says”:
    I COMPLETELY agree! Wes would be an AWESOME bachelor to watch! He’s hilarious! He’s actually been my favorite person of Bachelor Pad b/c he’s the only one who makes sense and the only guy on there that I’d actually want to hang out with for a beer or something. If Chris L. turned down being the next bachelor, I seriously think the producers should consider offering it to Wes. Sure, a lot of devoted viewers will be horrified, but a lot of viewers would find it to be interesting and quite a shake-up from your typical bachelor. I like Wes, too, so I think he’d be a lot of fun to watch!

  17. Oh, and by the way, was that the longest episode ever? It just kept going on and on and on and on…. My husband fell asleep after about 30 minutes, and he woke up an hour later and said, “what? this show is STILL on?” It was just WAYYYYYY too long! Oh, and these people definitely support the whole high school stereotype thing with the think-they-are-cool kids (Dave the bully, Jesse Kovacs, Natalie the slut, Elizabeth the shallow but insecure chick, Tenley the nice girl who is annoying); the geeks (Craig M. and the Weatherman); the outsider kids (Juan, Nikki, Gwen, Krisily, Jessie S., Jesse B., Ashley E., etc…), and the normal ones who are actually cool and will actually make it in the real world just fine (Wes, Kiptyn, and Peyton).

  18. Pingback: Why would ‘Dancing with the Stars’ turn down Ali Fedotowsky but ask Bristol Palin? « Gina Carbone + stories

  19. Wes……………should get an award for acting, he is a that good…Mike Fleiss take note and keep this guy as your next Bachelor, or a next pilot you have in mind…He is a natural not to mention entertaining….Stay cool, calm and collected with your enemy says Wes, and then when they least expect it pounce on them….too bad you didn’t practice that Wes…..Wes go seek a job with the Soap Operas as Rico Suave you would do very well and I mean that in the best way….Too bad the females in the outsider group were too weak to understand the strategy, although lord knows you have tried to indoctrinate it from the get go.

    Dave………Still marching on with the man code mantra, you have the looks but really bring nothing else to the table…..You might get the shallow beady eyes Natalee’s and all that is fake, but you ain’t all that when it comes to securing someone of class by your side…..You could do much better by toning down your shallow ego and stop denigrating others….Condescending Wes by calling him an acehole doesn’t win you much in the charisma department….Wes by far surpasses you as a gentleman and has way more class and sex appeal…The roids are ravaging your brain.
    You foam at the mouth, but it’s all fluff there is no substance in what you say.

    Natalee………Plays a good part as an actress, too bad she plays her real life though.

    Krissly………Your nether regions overtook your logic with Dave….Why were you not happy to hang out with Gwen, Nikki, and Wes and vote with your head?……..Why did you feel you need to belong to the Coupledom, unless you secretly wanted to be their servant.

    JesseBack…………neutral, you drank too much from being nervous…..Curb the booze next time, and just let it flow..

    Twinkle Twinkle and Elfin Skippy………what can be really said about it but the obvious…. Their relationship being on the forefront of Bachelor Couple who falls into bed with relative ease….They consummate the obvious what was perfected by practice under San Diego Stars every weekend in the past months…….Twinkle never kissed anyone since Fakey broke her tender heart….oy vey

    Kovach………..That yellow bleached blonde needs a makeover, those Elvira eyebrows of hers need to go..
    Her hands look older than Gwen’s, her leather face is just that leathery….She does a good job as an actress though.

    No one had a strategy until Wes clued them in…Most of them came to the show for free booze, free food, and to get laid…….Might be a shortage of girls in the real world out there for Dave the macho man, despite what he tries to project.

  20. Wes……… would make one of a kind Bachelor……..Despite what people said about him from Jillian’s season….Has anyone noticed not one girl from his past came out to bad mouth him or sell him out to the tabloids.
    His hometown date with Jillian, his mom and sisters was respectful to the brim.

    Wes for bachelor……….Wes would make a more entertaining Bachelor than Chris Lambton any day.

    Vote Wes for The Bachelor!

  21. Someone should ask Dave the same question….How he feels about Natalee….By the looks of the past weekends pictures with him and Kovach in Vegas and their tweeting Elizabeth and Natalee must have been the bridesmaids only….Both Elizabeth and Natalee must have filled in as stand by servants ministering to the Macho Boys hangovers, and tucking them into bed….They are a non entity on the Machos twitter, and nary a mention of just what good girlfriends they make.

  22. Okay, surely I am not the only one who can’t stand Tenley. She is not sweet at all. She is the one that stirs it up and insults the women or tells stories about them and then when the women she victimizes call her out, she cries like she’s the victim and the big bad wolf is after her. Please…..I think she is the worst! She needs to go.

  23. Not to mention the shock that she did not get voted “dumbest”….and most annoying.

  24. Don’t insult Twinkle Twinkle, she is on the red carpet now…Did you see her without makeup, and the size of that nose?
    Kip is not that great looking either, wrinkled leathery face and looks like he has hair plugs.

  25. Wes would be my vote for next Bachelor (if only I had a vote). Otherwise, if Chris L. has turned it down there is no obvious choice from among past contestants. Maybe they could take this opportunity to ask a completely new person who has not been on these shows before? Nah, they don’t see the merit of that.

  26. Before I write I wanted to read through as many postings as possible. Steve, a little respect for Jennifer Grey, if you were a thyroid cancer survivor, you might look a little rough around the edges too. GO JENNIFER – Get baby out of that corner and on the dancer floor and show them how it’s done. You GO girl!

  27. Steve, Jennifer Gray got a nose job (not a face lift) several years ago and it basically ruined her career. I saw a TV special in which this was one of the topics. No one could recognize her anymore so she lost much of her “celebrity” status.

  28. “Tori Spelling thinks you have too much space in between your boobs.” – That SO cracked me up!

  29. I’m with most of the other posters concerning Wes. He just cracks me up!! I would watch him as the Bachelor. I didn’t care for him during Jillian’s season (of course) but watching Bachelor Pad, I found myself rooting for him. :-) Too bad he is gone. :-(

    At the risk of sounding bitchy and negative, I have had all of Tenley I can stand. Watching her makes me break out in hives!! What is wrong with that “girl”? She acts like a 15 year old school girl!! I get so tired of her crying and bounching around!!

    As for Gwen, I know we all poke fun at her due to her age but really, she is out of her element. I think she flies under the radar because she is too old for all that crap going on in the house, it’s juvenile. I still enjoy watching though. :-) LOL

  30. mja Says:
    I agree with you, I would love to see some new faces in the next Bachelor show. I like Chris but part of the fun of the new season is checking out the “new” people.

  31. Elizabeth lists her age as what? 30? She looks older than 35 to me. Her fake tits are beyond ridiculous but I felt sorry for her crying about being voted “worst boob job”. I was surprised that Kovacs went in to comfort and console her. I did not expect that from him. It seemed like he actually did care about her in that scene.

  32. Adria – Kovacs has totally learned how to work the camera to his advantage. He went in, comforted her, sounded to everyone watching like he’d done a complete 180 turn and voila! He gets another few minutes of screen time, plus people think he’s seen the light and appreciates her now? Uh-uh, not buying it. This is a reality show and he’s playing for a quarter million bucks.

    Same with Elizabeth, she’s playing a game, too. She turned on the waterworks (deservedly so, after being voted “Most Shallow” and “Worst Boob Job” but luckily for her, escaped from “Worst Brassy Bleached Hair Ever” and “Biggest About-Face From Your Former Bachelorette Persona” (remember, this was the girl who wouldn’t let Jake kiss her until she was the last girl standing, and told him to make-out with her forehead and on here she’s using s*x to control the game, to the extent that she can). As soon as Kovacs asked her if she would cheer up, she visibly perked up and said she was cheered up. I found her on-camera tears a lot less believable after that scene.

  33. “I haven’t been with a man since Jake” ummm…are we now considering Jake a “man?” When did this start? Fort Worth

  34. When Dave, Kip, and Kovacs started the show, they were all so eager to be single and keep options open. So the about-face into coupledom was pretty funny, but not surprising considering it is a Mike Fleiss show.

  35. Steve, two weeks ago, I messaged you, politely asking if it was possible to keep the spoilers out of your recaps, since I deliberately avoid that section of your site. I was pleasantly surprised and refreshed to read your recap blog, and NOT be spoiled for the coming week. So I trusted you and eagerly read this recap, only to find out who the final four are. I feel tricked.

    I really love your recaps, but I’m afraid you’ve just lost a reader, because its clear you don’t respect those of us who aren’t here for the spoilers.

  36. Give me a break Just Jenna, everyone knows that Steve gives the spoilers in his blog. If you don’t want to know, you shouldn’t have even started typing the address in your browser.

    Steve, do you have any idea if Ali was asked to do DWTS and turned it down, or vice versa? I’m really curious.

    Also, are you ever going to post what you were “wrong” about? i.e., what you referred to a few weeks ago? You said you were waiting for an interview before you could reveal it, but I’m just checking up.

  37. Jane B – ah yes–of course I am too naive – these dorks on BP are all playing to the cameras – trying to make themselves look good…I should have realized! Just Jenna–you need to stay away from this site. Missy – I read that Sly Stallone, Condoleeza Rice, Suzanne Sommers, Richard Branson & Tim Allen all said NO to DWTS. Others who have taken a pass: Kirstie Alley, “Community” star Joel McHale and “The Price Is Right” host Drew Carey. No mention of Ali & Roberto passing up an offer. They probably did not get asked. Ali is a total publicity whore- hard to imagine her passing up DWTS.

  38. I don’t understand why some people is so upset about Bristol, grab a bottle of wine and your snarkiest friends and ABC owns you on Monday night. Would love to know if Ali threw a hallway tantrum when she found out her name would not be called for DWTS (bet she had cameras waiting just for the occasion so she could blame it on Facebook).

    Just a few judgmental comments. Elizabeth has a severe case of the Lindsay Lohan skin issues going on, could they not afford makeup to cover that nastiness up? Just realized who she resembles, Parvati on Survivor, may be a stretch I know.

    Did anyone get the impression that Tenley thought she was trying out for the bachelorette on her “date”? It seems that Kip was raised well and knows how to treat people well for the right reasons but I just don’t see any real depth there. I didn’t see it with Jill either so it might be me. It looks like he is just going through the motions although I must say he is much classier and genuine than Jake.

  39. One more thing, I was in LA last week and Ali is trying very hard to get herself photographed doing just about anything in and around LA. Clearly she is not living in San Diego as that can be a 3 hour commute each way, everyday, in traffic, on a normal day. Wonder what the real story is there, has the contract countdown already started?

  40. If Wes had been smarter, he could have won the competition.

    Did anyone else notice Elizabeth at the rose ceremony wearing some sort of shawl to hide her “worst boob job”?

    There were two times during the episode when someone referred to someone else as showing their true colors. Earlier in the episode it was Natalie referring to Wes, and then after the rose ceremony it was Dave referring to Krisily. Clearly these people don’t understand what this saying means.

  41. Can someone tell me what Krisily said when she left? I missed that part.

    Jane B you’re right about Chris Harrison. How anyone can like that guy is beyond my comprehension.

  42. Did anyone else see Dave’s huge varicose veins on his left leg? I guess everyone’s crush isn’t that perfect afterall. Gross.

  44. I have seen in Dirty Dancing after an episode of Friends, where she played a friend of Rachel, Barry finally married to a dentist and she was unrecognizable with her new nose. Stupid career development.
