Let me start by saying, if you didn't watch this season of the Bachelor you are the luckiest human alive. For the rest of us, please allow me to apologize on behalf of the Bachelor, ABC and Chris Harrison.
What a mess.
It didn't help that this season started out as dry as can be. No drama, no nothing. Arie says like three words, the girls are all pretty boring and we're forced to watch two hours of this a week.
Then, after watching 57 hours of Bachelor, with one week left until the finale and no SPOILER ALERT, Us Weekly tells us that Arie dumps the winner and gets back together with the runner up. At least we knew this season would end interesting.
We start the finale with two of the longest dates in history. Honestly, I fast-forwarded through both dates, I just couldn't handle.
Let's start with Lauren- I think it's clear that he loved her more, even if he couldn't say why he loved her. He kept trying to convince others that she was outgoing, friendly and said more than 3 words an hour. Every time he was on camera with a producer, it was as if he was trying to convince everyone around him to love Lauren as much as he did. Even when his family met her, he was doing the Lauren tour of convincing them.
Why do you love Lauren? I just do. What do you love about her? I just love her. What's special about her? She has a brown speck in her eye. Okayyy, Arie.
Off to Becca - she is very sweet, lovely, graceful, and so so so eager to love Arie it almost hurts to watch her. She is so over the top with her feelings, her affection and her need to tell everyone about her future with him. All the while, you can see him pulling back and almost looking intimidated at her confidence in "them." There is nothing worse than trying to convince the guy you're with, that you both love each other the same.
Now, that being said, what Arie did to Becca was ridiculous. Never in Bachelor history have we been forced to watch an HOUR of the most horrendous breakup. I get it, they want to show the good, the bad and the horrible. But, really Chris Harrison, an hour of Becca bawling while Arie walks around this Hollywood mansion?
The poor girl just got dumped by Arie and what he said was "I was afraid the more I hung out with you, the more I thought I'd lose any chance of reconciling with Lauren." Let's stop and think about that. He's ENGAGED to Becca, not just casually dating her. In my opinion, when you're engaged, your thoughts should not be with reconciling with an ex.
The worst part? Becca is stuck at this house. It's not like she can call an uber and get the hell out of there. She's in the hills, at a mansion, presumably with no way down unless a producer takes her. Arie just keeps walking in asking to talk and then when they sit, he just stares at her and tells her he loves Lauren. We get it Arie, you made a mistake, no need to continually rub it in this girls face. Let the poor girl sit on the floor of the bathroom with the door closed and cry.
Arie then gets in the car with literally NO emotion, tells the producer he feels bad and immediately goes to Lauren and tells her he loves her. Then tells her he 100% over Becca. Well, that took all of a plane ride to VA Beach. Lauren then giggles and tells him he has a short amount of time to propose, again.
Ps. this is Lauren's THIRD engagement. No weddings yet, just engagements. But according to her, her family is v excited. I'm so sure.
At the end of the day, Arie did what he thought was best. Sure, he was texting and calling Lauren while he was engaged and texting and DM'ing other exes throughout his engagement, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt, or at least 8 months to bask in post-bachelor glow.
Now Becca is the new Bachelorette, shocker. And to be honest, I'm so drained from this season, I'll let you know if I'll be back next season. We may have to limit this to Twitter alone.
Until next time, friends!

"I'm falling so deeply in love with you." --Arie
I'm gonna be super honest here, the bachelor posts are becoming a little boring to me. I've had like 30 of you reach out for recaps and that is literally the reason I keep writing them. So one, you guys are the best! I'm obsessed with each of you. Two, these posts are going to be every other week, except the week the winner is announced.
Main reason, these posts take forever and if you've noticed, other content doesn't get posted during bachelor months because they take so long. So, my promise, the recap posts will be longer since they're only every other week and you will see more content on here!
Grab a glass of wine folks, you will need it.
Let's get recapping. First off, Florence is my most favorite place in the entire world. It's literally the prettiest. This is a reason to go on the Bachelor, an all expense paid trip to Florence.
I'm really intrigued by Becca. She had the first one-on-one date and hasn't had an alone date since. At this point, if Becca gets the rose, Arie goes to her hometown. But then he says, "We're stuck, we've missed that romantic connection." I don't think Becca feels that way. Based on her excitement she is clearly swooning.
Where are all the people? I've been to Tuscany and I've never seen it so empty. He seems very torn with Becca. He talks about finding their passion during the day, but then questioning whether it's enough to meet her parents. He seems very all over the place. It'll be interesting to see what he says about the other girls.
Jacqueline "coming to her senses" proves that she's actually thinking about how this would work in the real world. I really appreciate her openness with this. She does want to pursue a PhD and its smart for her to think of this moving forward.
I think Becca and Arie are cute together, I can see her top 2. He is still talking about his doubts with her. He has the passion but has doubts. On to the other dates.
Lauren gets another one-on-one. My thoughts, I think he likes her, but I think he's curious about her. Their last date moved a little slow and since we're moving into hometowns, its important for him to know if theres something there.
Girl drinks bachelors wine. Girl breaks up with Bachelor. Girl makes out with Bachelor. Girl makes out with bachelor more. Girl leaves. (PS the girl is Jacqueline).
Lauren is boring to me. I get its hard for her to open it and she's very open about being scared of being heartbroken, but damn girl, you just got gelato, get excited. Alright, Arie, you wanted this girl to open up, she tells you she's falling in love and you walk away. Regardless of the reason you walked away, its not very kind. OKAY -- check the quote at the top. I'd say, Arie's feelings for Lauren are stronger than the other girls thus far.
Sienne, I kind of forgot she was still here, but I love her. Her date is amazing. Looking for truffles? This is a dream date. And those pups. Arie is so awkward in his presentation of his feelings. I get that he's working through his feelings, but when he does it in front of the girl who's professing her love, it's awkward.
Sienne is telling Arie that she doesn't want their relationship to end but Arie looks like he's going to puke. He is the worst bachelor at hiding his feelings.
Group dates, the goal, get to the bachelor first so you kiss him first? I feel like this is very obvious, Bekah (the child) goes home. Tia and Kendall seem way more mature. Bekah is talking about wanting to go home to hang with her family and friends, not the best sign. Arie comforting Bekah looks like a dad comforting his daughter.
Bekah telling Arie that she facetimes her family every day, yet her Mom reported her missing.... what am I missing here? The way she talks is like a child. It's miserable.
HOMETOWNS:
Tia // Weiner, Arkansas -- I think Tia is darling and I think it's clear that she really likes him. Plus its cute that she planned a date she knew he'd love so much. Dear Arie, brothers are always the most intimidating, usually more than dads. Man up. It's her brother and probably one of the most important men in her life. My dad and I are close, but I cannot imagine sitting here with my dad telling him that I love this guy and my deepest darkest thoughts about him. It's so awkward!
Becca // Minneapolis, Minnesota -- Arie has a fur lined coat on. That's all. I LOVE caramel apples. Picking my own and dipping them in candy would be a dream. The hardest part about this would be falling in love with a guy and then him saying, "It its us in the end..." I mean when you're real life dating, you have conversations like "If we get married." Not if you and three other girls get married. UNCLE GARY, you are the real MVP here.
Lauren // Virginia Beach -- I wonder if Lauren's family is as boring as she is. I think it says a lot that Arie is the most nervous for Lauren's hometown. She's the frontrunner. Yep, they are just as awkward. Well, Arie found the way to her dad's heart, that was a very sweet moment. So, we've been watching her mom and dad say she's a tough girl who doesn't settle, knows what she wants ect... but she's been engaged TWICE before this and she's 25.
Rose Ceremony -- I don't think its fair that Kendall got to argue her feelings for Arie with Arie when the other girls didn't. That isn't very fair to any of the girls, especially Tia. Tia gathering herself before walking up to Arie was very mature of her. I really loved her.
Safe to say, Arie has a type and I unfortunately don't think Becca is the winner in this scenario.
We're almost to the end folks and I read the ultimate spoiler last night, totally on accident. Let's just say, this get's super juicy.
Oh hey friend, how are you? I've totally been MIA - but with good reason. Last week I spent the week in Arizona basking in sunshine, 80 degree temps and friends and family. This blog took a huge back seat. but don't worry, I'm back and so is the bachelor.
Catching up on two weeks is a lot, so we're just going to do this last weeks - plus, it's the better of the two. Last week, we said goodbye to Marikh, Maquel and Olivia. To be honest, I didn't think any of them would win, so it's kind of okay.
This week, we're in Paris! We finally got out of Florida to go somewhere awesome. And, we start the episode with Chris Harrison, where the heck has he been? I for one, wish we saw more of him.
It says a lot that Krystal knows she's going to be on the two-on-one. She knows she's hated.
Lauren's one-on-one: So, I think Lauren is darling, but she bores me and I think she's a little nutty. I've always said my dream date is having the "tour the city" date and Lauren is totally screwing it up. She's literally not speaking.
Arie's story about living with the girl who had a miscarriage and she left is so sad.
This living on the boat thing is kind of cool, but i wish I could see a tour of it to really see what it's like.
Group Date: This would be my nightmare. Dancing in a thong. I'm with Tia here. I know Arie said he didn't pick the girl based on her dancing, but Bekah was kind of perfect for that role.
Two-on-one: Oh goodness, here we go. Kendall and Krystal.
The more I see Kendall, the more I like her. Here's hoping Krystal finalllly goes home. They start off getting lost in mazes (my nightmare) and of course Krystal wins.
"The color and texture and depth of our relationship." -- Krystal. Who talks like this?! Arie clearly isn't buying this, right? And now, she talks crap about Kendall.
I think Kendall's answer re marriage was awesome. She seems much more mature.
"Destiny is going to happen today." -Krystal.
Final one-on-one: WHO IS JACQUELINE. I swear she just got on the show. The car breaking down has to be joke right? Like, ABC would never let that happen. The waiter asked her a question in french and she responded, "Si." People who don't know what language SI is, it's spanish.
Here's my thing with Jacqueline, girl go get your PhD. But asking Arie to wait 6 years for you to do that is a lot to ask.
GIRLS BYE:
Chelsea, Jenna, Krystal
Marikh, Maquel and Olivia (last week!)
We are getting super close to the end, who is your final pick?

Well just like we all knew, the episode started with the girls chatting about Bekah's age while she swims int he pool.
"So I'll be that voice of reason, that voice of reality." --Krystal
I heard a lot of criticism about the first destination being Tahoe. South Lake Tahoe to be specific. But, I grew up going to Tahoe every single summer since I was like 8 years old and let me tell you, Tahoe is the absolute best place in the world. I would have been thrilled to be on this date. Sure, it's not an international trip, but damn, I'd take it.
Sienne's One on One Date: I think she is a doll. She's intelligent, kind and seems fun to be around. I'm hoping Arie isn't taking her on a date to send her home. The more I get to see her, the more I love her. She got the rose! Whoop! Guys, I'm obsessed with Lanco, Greatest Love Story. It's the sweetest song. You can listen to it here --> But... Arie is not a great dancer, but I will give him props for trying.
Maquel talking to her mama about her grandpa passing away was heartbreaking. I just wanted to give her a hug. That was so sad to watch, my heart breaks for her.
Krystal is such a catty little bitch. Literally all she does is talk crap about people.
"I'll drink my pee for Arie." Some blonde girl said this.
This survival date is so weird. Drinking pee, eating bugs. And then you have Krystal who is way too cool for school. Sure, I'm not gonna drink my pee, but gf get on the fun train. Kendall and Arie literally snuck away to kiss. Typical.
Can we just talk about what a bombshell Carline is? She has a one piece on and is a stunner. As I'm writing this, I'm freezing and sitting in that hot tub looks amazing. I could really use one right about now. Guys, I'm trying to pick quotes from all the girls but Krystal is just one point tonight.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to say to Arie, but whatever it is, it'll be perfect" -Krystal
So I did not think I was gong to like Chelsea. But surprisingly, I don't mind her at all. She's actually pretty cool and normal. Go Chelsea! Still, Caroline and Tia are still my favorites. They are so hilarious. When Krystal talks to Arie, she literally pouts. Is she the actual worst? There is so way Arie is buying the BS she's spilling.
"I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm just so emotional." Krystal
"Tia is gonna speed bag her face." Caroline hahahah favorite quote of the night
Is it just me or does Krystal not blink? Like, I watch too much Lifetime drama movies about crazy girlfriends to not think she's a little crazy.
Bekah's One-On-One Date: Arie and Bekah are in the hot tub and the girls are all talking about her age. His response to her age...
Here's what I will say about age/marriage/22/life: When I was 22, I didn't want to get married. I was single, just graduated college and my focus was hanging out with my best friends, going on dates, going out and enjoying being 22 with a great metabolism. I went to law school, met Adam and all of a sudden, I turned 26 and marriage was at the top of my mind. For me, those single years of going on is what got me to "marriage age." But, I also had tons of friends who got married at 22 or younger and are still happily married and loved being married young.
I totally get where Arie is coming from, wanting to go to bed early, wanting to get up early, the older you get, the lazier you get. It's true. But, that doesn't mean Bekah isn't there and I don't think it's fair for all the other girls to tell Bekah how she should feel, is feeling or question her when she says one way or another.
But to Bekah, think clearly about what you're doing. Try to step away from bachelor land and realize that Arie does want to get married at the end of this and yes, age is just a number, but 14 years is a big number. That's all.
"I'm not here for a 22 year old girlfriend, I'm here for a wife." - Arie
No cocktail parties are the best. Like I highly doubt that a ten second conversation right before he gives a rose is going to change his mind. Plus, it adds some fun drama to the mix.
Girls Bye: Caroline, Brittany T and Maquel (for now) We'll see if he lets her back in the clubhouse.
Happy Friday friends! Just me or was this seriously the longest week ever. I swear every day was Tuesday, which sucks, because Tuesday is the worst day! But, alas, here we are! It's officially the weekend! Praise.
If you watched the Bachelor this week you know how NUTS these girls are! I swear, they get a little crazier each week. It's almost exhausting to keep up with them. But someone has to blog it right.
I had some requests for Adam to watch this week and get his thoughts, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news. He didn't watch this week. I will do my best to get him to watch next week, swear.
This week was absolutely all over the place, so now, just some thoughts. 20 thoughts during the bachelor. What are you bachelor thoughts, leave them in the comments. Let's chat.
ONE // This is the season of belling shirts, abs and Lululemon.
TWO // Who comes up with these stupid date ideas? GLOB? Girl wrestling? Are we joking?
THREE // Thee wrestling girls are mean and I honestly don't blame for the girls being upset.
FOUR // Seriously- Kenny from Rachel's season? This is when it's too much.
FIVE // Bibiana, have you learned anything in 22 seasons of this offing show. The girl who tattles goes home. Every. damn. time.
SIX // Krystal is too much. Steals Arie first. Interrupts the girls to chat her time. Her voice. I can't. She is obviously a little delisional and doesn't quite realize there are other girls in the house.
SEVEN // "We know we want to end up together and this is just a process we have to go through." Are you joking Krystal?
EIGHT // Whenever Arie is talking to a girl, I feel like he is half listening half waiting to kiss.
NINE // Lauren S. is never going to make it. She's too ditzy and laughs too much. I do appreciate that she's 31.
TEN // The only words in Lauren S' vocal - "so cute, so handsome, amazing, so amazing, so awesome."
ELEVEN // ARIE IS EATING THE FOOD. ATTENTION. No-one eats the food. THIS IS A RULE. He must be SO bored. She's going home.
TWELVE // Another traumatic experience from Annaliese - first bumper cars, now dogs. Whats next gf.
THIRTEEN // Legit bachelor question, if they come together on a private jet, how does the loser go home?
FOURTEEN // All I can say about the dog show is that Lola was going nuts the entire time they were barking and growling. In the words of my friend Kate, "longest 20 minutes of an episode, ever."
FIFTEEN // Not gonna lie, I totally spaced that ENTIRE girl-dog group date. Whew, that was dull. Beside Annaliese trying to get a kiss, saw that girlfriend.
SIXTEEN // If you were the Bachelor/ette, what would your drink of choice be? Mine would be champs.
SEVENTEEN // ARIE STOLE BIBIANA'S SETUP FOR LAUREN B. I'M DYING.
EIGHTEEN // Do you think as a contestant you get a say as to what goes in the fridge? Like, hey'd Id LOVE some Nada Moo Salted Carmel Ice Cream and So Delicious coconut milk vanilla creamer.
NINETEEN // Poor Annaliese asking for a kiss. Oh no.
TWENTY // Is it just me or are the previews more exciting than the episode?
Lauren S, Annaliese, Bibiana
Stay tuned - Monday, my 10 favorite blogs you MUST read.
So we've met the ladies, picked the villains, found our favorites and judged Arie. The second episode is always where things get a little nuts. We're still learning the girls names, we have our first one-on-one and the "falling in love" toasts are in full swing.
Part of me wishes this post was blogged in real life because making this a drinking game would be amazing. Drink whenever they say "falling in love" "date card" "Arie" "talk about his eyes" "jealous" "pillow lips"
First One-On-One: Becca K. Don't you wonder how Arie picks the first one-on-one? I honestly don't remember much of her from the first episode so I'm curious as to how he picked her. Sidenote: the road their driving down is the road I used to live on in college and it makes me soooo jealous (drink!). I just want to be there. RACHEL ZOE - WHAT. I want her to dress me! And Christian Louboutins? Okay, well this would be a great date to be on. No way she gets to keep the Neil lane diamonds. This is the ultimate bachelor swag bag.
Is it just me or is the silver dress not the dress I would have picked for the date? She got the rose.
Second One-on-One: Krystal. Krystals voice irritates the **** out of me. They're going to Scottsdale. I instantly get jealous when people go to scottsdale because I'm so protective of it! Kryal goes all he way to Scottsdale and he takes her to his highschool? And then baby pictures? I'm bored. Wouldn't it be so awesome to never have to carry a purse? Lauren B met Ben's family early on the Bachelor and she won - just saying. Arie's mom is a babe! Literally watching Krystal talk drives me crazzyyy. I think she's gonna go far, but I'm over her. PS this is the song they danced too - he has a beautiful voice. The highlight of this super boring date.
Group Date: Maquel, Marikh, Tia, Valerie, Annaliese, Lauren G, Kendall, Bekah, Jenny, Janna, Caroline, Brittany, Bibiana, Chelsea. Bekah is literally wearing no clothes. This part should be like a lululemon ad or something. Everyones just in sports bras and leggings/shorts. I'm sticking to my thoughts that Tia is still one of my favorites.
Cue the tears Annaliese. She literally hummed the circus song, talked about being a kid in bumper cars and wont stop crying. She literally was the most scared but she was also the most badass. I think this would be so fun! I want to do this - anyone know where we can?
I take back my earlier thoughts, Chelsea is the worst. And, I officially hate watching Arie kiss.
Not that it's funny, but I love guessing which girls are going to unravel the quickest. I didn't expect Bibiana to be that girl, but she is quickly losing it. She's already almost crying. She's fighting with the other girls. She has a horrible attitude. And she yells at the producers, like "hey girl you signed up for this shit."
Okay, I get it, age is just a number, but Bekah is 22 and Arie is 36. 14 years. 14 years. 22. 36.
Seinne gets the rose! Hooray! I love her.
The Rose Ceremony. Did Bekah really just say she always needs a fur on her? Cue the eye roll. Lauren B is so cute. I really like her. Oh my gosh, Krystal interrupting Bibiana. Shits about to go down. Bibi just gave it to Krystal. Whew. You can watch it here. You gotta love that they put Krystal and Bibiana next to each other.
Spoiler Alert: The girls who go home are -- Jenny, Valerie, Lauren
Wow Jenny, not even saying goodbye. Further proof she is only 25. "I'm not sad about you, I'm sad about the girls."
Next week looks extra good. So many tears, so many fights.
Happy Friday friends! Monday - all the details on FabFitFun! It's a post you don't want to miss!

Not that it's funny, but I love guessing which girls are going to unravel the quickest. I didn't expect Bibiana to be that girl, but she is quickly losing it. She's already almost crying. She's fighting with the other girls. She has a horrible attitude. And she yells at the producers, like "hey girl you signed up for this shit."
Okay, I get it, age is just a number, but Bekah is 22 and Arie is 36. 14 years. 14 years. 22. 36.
Seinne gets the rose! Hooray! I love her.
The Rose Ceremony. Did Bekah really just say she always needs a fur on her? Cue the eye roll. Lauren B is so cute. I really like her. Oh my gosh, Krystal interrupting Bibiana. Shits about to go down. Bibi just gave it to Krystal. Whew. You can watch it here. You gotta love that they put Krystal and Bibiana next to each other.
Spoiler Alert: The girls who go home are -- Jenny, Valerie, Lauren
Wow Jenny, not even saying goodbye. Further proof she is only 25. "I'm not sad about you, I'm sad about the girls."
Next week looks extra good. So many tears, so many fights.
Happy Friday friends! Monday - all the details on FabFitFun! It's a post you don't want to miss!
Happy Happy Friday friends! I don't know about you, but I am SO glad this week is over. Starting the week on a Tuesday makes the week seem extra long. Throw the husband getting the flu in the middle of it and wham bam it makes for a long week. I am so excited for the weekend.
Here we go folks, another round of Bachelor recaps. This time? It's a major blast from the past. Need a little update? Arie was the runner up on Emilys season over 5 years ago. She sent him home heartbroken and based on his intro in this season, he's been pining over her ever since.
In the meantime, Emily has gotten married and had three kids since. We all move on at different paces. Well ladies and gentleman, Arie is back.
He has a plethora of pretty girls and most of them are older than 20. Thank god because Arie is 36! The good thing about his age is hopefully he's a little more mature and semi knows what he wants. He's still enjoying the nickname 'kissing bandit' so... maybe not.
In all my years of bachelor watching, I have to say, I like the girls a lot on this season. They all (well more than half) have real jobs, no-one got black out drunk on the first night and no-one cried on the first night until they got sent home. Winning!
Let's start with the good first impressions -- these are my top 6:
Caroline: 26. From Florida. Stunning. Realtor. She was the first one out of limo, which is always a great sign. She made a clever “off the market” joke since they're both realtors. I like her. Top 5.
Tia: 26. From Wiener Arkansas and friends with Raven. Their accents are too cute. I have a theory that this town makes gorgeous girls. She's funny, gave him a baby weiner and then joked with the other girls about how stunning and smart the other girls are. Top 8.
Seinne: 27. Long Beach, CA. She is stunning. I loved that she gave him elephant cuff links, it was very sweet. Plus, I loved her dress. She managed to pull off incredibly sexy and class in one dress.
Lauren S: 31. Dallas, Texas. She was eager, sweet and sort of stayed in the background. I have a feeling she is going to be silent attacker. Top 8. I had a friend ask me to find where Lauren's first night dress was from and it's from Reformation. You can find it here.
Annaliese: 32. San Mateo, California. Initially I was not amused by her kissing bandit costume but she she came to talk to Arie, I really enjoyed her sweet demeanor.
Lauren B: 25. Virginia Beach, VA. She was the stunning blonde in the silver dress.
Runners Up:
Have you guys seen the meme that Arie looks like Ross. Try not to see it, I dare ya
These are my least favs:
Chelsea: 29. Portland, Maine. She's a single-mom and really wants to get married. She got out of the limo looking like she wanted to eat him. Not that those are bad things, not what I'm saying, but from jump street, she's already jealous, talking shit on every girl that walks in and is pretty damn catty. Next.
Kendall: 26. Santa Clarita, CA. She is a taxidermy collector which alone is pretty creepy. Then she showed Horrible shiny pink dress.
Jenna: 28. Upland, IN. What’s with the arm movements doing her intro? Then she starts massaging his feet? She is legit all over the place. Either she’s drunk or on something and even Arie thinks she's a little out there.
Bekah M: 22. Fresno, CA. She is a nanny and on her bachelorette info page and on her title on the show, she doesn't show her age. Thanks to buzzed, I found out she is 22. But I have a feeling her age is going to be a major topic and controversy. Then she showed up in a red car. I’m already annoyed by her.
Adam got the flu this week and I watched late due to the holiday so unfortunately, I don't have much Adam commentary this week. He walked in while I was watching and asked, “Is she the villain” referring to Chelsea. So either he is super intuitive or he was secretly watching upstairs.
Is it just my TV or do all the girls look airbrushed? Like is there a lady in the back spraying girls? Now that I’m watching Arie make out with all the girls, it’s bringing back memories of the sounds of kissing on Emilys season - blech.
Calling it now --> Chelsea is going to be the girl all the other girls hate and Arie holds a blind eye too until the end when one girl volunteers as tribute to talk shit and finally tell him the truth. Verdict - they both go home.
Refinery 29 did an awesome piece that Bachelor creepers like me love - all the girls Instagrams. Go stalk and be merry.
Stop reading now if you don't want spoilers. The following went home this week.
Only 8 more weeks until we all know their names. I want to know how he remembers all their names first night especially the Laurens.
Girl bye. This week we said goodbye to: Amber, Jessica, Lauren J, Ali, Olivia, Brittane, Bri, Nysha
PS. I'm thinking of permanently moving Bachelor blog posts to Friday. Thoughts?
Happy Friday!
