I never recapped The Men Tell All from last week because 1) time got away from me, and 2) I don’t think it’s good for my health to recap more than 1 show a week. So here’s my recap: Chad is a JACKWAGON. The end.
Quick review from last week: The episode started out with JoJo letting Luke go. WHAH! Then it was Fantasy Suite week with her remaining 3 suitors: Chase, Jordan, and Robby. We were led to assume that she did the big wiggle with both Jordan and Robby. And then it was time for her to possibly wiggle with Chase.
However, her date with Chase went a little something like this…
JoJo : “Chase, I’m going to need you to tell me that you love me.”
Chase: “Um, okay. I’m realllllllly scared because I’ve never said I Love You before, but I’m going to trust you with my super sensitive heart and go ahead and say it. I LOVE YOU, JOJO!!!!!”
JoJo: “Huh. Welllllllll, I don’t feel the same way. Buh-bye.”

SO LET’S GET STARTED WITH THIS WEEK’S BACHELORETTE! IT’S THE FINALE Y’ALL!
It’s a big week you guys. The remaining two dudes got to meet JoJo’s family, and we got to see if JoJo was going to end up with a former pro football player or a former professional competitive swimmer. I mean, we were all on the edge of our seats.
So, here’s the deal. JoJo and her guys were in Thailand. And she was in love with both of them. #oopsie #shepulledaben
So, a handful of quick notes on JoJo’s family. The sister was mute. The brothers were nice and normal. Which let’s be honest, was no fun at all. Mom seemed very wise, but the fact that she didn’t drink straight from a bottle was highly disappointing. Dad was very sweet, but he looked SUPER FAMILIAR to me. Wait for it……
I know all of you are shouting “THAT’S WHY HE LOOKED FAMILIAR!” right now. #guesswho #herman
JORDAN MET THE FAMILY
Jordan showed up with flowers, handed out hugs to everybody (it was sweet), and inadvertently grabbed Mama’s boob (I hate it when that happens!).
He then gave them all silly hats to break the ice. Sadly, we didn’t get to see the brothers don their gifted head dresses. I did however enjoy seeing dad in a cowboy hat. Jordan sat down with Mama Fletcher and she was no joke. MAMA DON’T PLAY. She said “Can you give me your word that you will never break my daughter’s heart?” And after the longest pause in the history of pauses, he said “Absolutely not.” Was I the only one that was confused? Would he absolutely not ever break her heart? OR could he absolutely not ever promise that?
Mama Fletcher told JoJo that she thought that she (meaning JoJo) and Jordan were too alike. She also thought he was too likable and posed the question “Who doesn’t like Jordan?” JoJo laughed, nodded her head, and was like “You’re right, everybody likes Jordan!” I was like, Um..I can think of a couple of people that don’t enjoy him. #hisbrotheraaron #andme
JoJo had a moment with her brothers, but I felt like they were imposters. Where were those psychotic Fletcher brothers that we all came to know and love last season? Instead, we got sweet and caring brothers who had some good insight. Good for JoJo, not so good for us. JoJo told them that Robby adored her but that Jordan was just so much fun. One of them said, “You’re not looking for a New Year’s Eve date, you’re looking for a husband.” Now THAT’S some good advice. High five to the Fletcher brothers. I’m going to go ahead and give them the MOST IMPROVED award.
Jordan had time with Papa Fletcher, BUT HE DIDN’T ASK FOR HER HAND IN MARRIAGE. JoJo had let Jordan know that if he was going to propose to her that he absolutely had to ask for her father’s blessing. AND HE DIDN’T. #uhoh
ROBBY MET THE FAMILY
Robby was next. They sat down for “dinner”, and Mama Fletcher asked him why he loved her daughter. He said, “She’s smart AND intelligent.” WOW. Smart AND Intelligent. He didn’t even mention her boobs.
Robby took both Mama and Papa Fletcher aside. AND OMG he said all the right things. And for the first time this entire season, I LIKED ROBBY. I reallllly liked him a lot! Nobody was more surprised than me.
JoJo said good-bye to Robby and then returned to talk to the family. And y’all, every single one of them was #TEAMROBBY
Here’s what they said in a nutshell “We all like Jordan just fine. But we REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY like Robby.” They proceeded to tell her that Robby asked for the parents blessing, but Jordan did not. And our JoJo did not like that. She kind of started melting down. She snapped at her mom, started crying, and started waxing on about how if she chooses Jordan, she’ll always wonder how it could have been with Robby, and then vice versa. But you could tell, THE GIRL IS CRAZY TOWN FOR JORDAN. Mama was visibly upset at her daughter’s confusion. As was Herman.
It was here where I was hoping Mama was going to cope with the stress of it all by picking up a wine bottle and going to town. But it was a no go. Let’s just all take a moment to reflect on the awesomeness that was Mama Fletcher last season.
FINAL DATE WITH ROBBY
Robby and JoJo headed to a private beach together. They swam, appeared to get ready to have a chicken fight (even though they were the only ones there), and then Robby painted a verbal picture of their future life which included a big and comfy couch (love it), kids laughing in the background (love it), a dog (love it), and burnt meatloaf (what?).
Robby then said “I feel like my life hasn’t started yet.” And she responded by straddling him. Like HARD CORE straddling him. It was like a jump and run from a seated position to a seated position. It was a sight to behold.
That night at the Marriott (seriously, The Marriott) Robby pulled out some photos for them to take a walk down memory lane. And I was like 4×6 photos? Really? Is that all you got? We want a poem. A scrap book. AT THE VERY LEAST a memory box. GET IN THE GAME, ROBBY. He continued to tell JoJo how much he loved her. And even without a memory box, I believed him. And I was truly starting to see him as really great husband material.
FINAL DATE WITH JORDAN
Let’s all just acknowledge that JoJo was TICKED. We’ve all been JoJo on this date: you know, when you’re person asks “What’s the matter” and you say “Nothing.” And then he asks how you are, and you say “Fine.” And all the while you want to punch him in the face. Yep, she was passive aggressive as all get out. They too headed to a private beach and she was all up in his grill.
They sat down and she immediately (and not so casually) asked “So what’s going on in your head?” And he simply repeated “What’s going on in my head?” UH OH. RED FLAG. JoJo continued to ask more “casual” questions like, “So what did you and my dad talk about?” to get to the bottom of things. I’d recap their conversation here, but it was SUPER hard to follow. And this what Jordan looked like most of the time. Not a super reassuring face if you ask me.
I basically think one of two things was going on here 1) Jordan wasn’t sure if he wanted to propose to JoJo, and that’s why he didn’t ask dad. 2) Jordan knew he loved JoJo, but he had too much pride to ask the dad before he ever heard an I Love You from JoJo.
NEIL LANE MAKES AN APPEARANCE and FINAL ROSE CEREMONY PREP
Robby pretty much part twirled and part flew over to meet Uncle Neil. The boy was on CLOUD 9. He chose the ring and went with “the bigger the better” way of thought. I can respect that.
Before Jordan headed over to possibly pick out the bling, it was obvious he was regretting not asking the dad, and I was like HELLO? Do they not have phones in Phuket? And then it happened…he called Papa Fletcher! He got both Mama and Papa on the phone, professed his love, and then finally popped the question. To the parents at least. They both said yes.
And then, something I don’t recall ever seeing on The Bachelor before, both guys sat down to write JoJo a note to be read right before the final rose ceremony.
In his note, Robby professed his love for her. Again. She read the note and seemed genuinely touched and happy. And as she was reading it she had me thinking that she was going to be laughing on a big couch and burning meatloaf with Robby for eternity. BUT THEN. THEN SHE READ JORDAN’S NOTE. Jordan wrote a note too because he wanted to make sure that JoJo knew that he had in fact asked for her dad’s hand in marriage before he showed up to pop the question. Good call, Jordan. And while reading Jordan’s note, it started to become clear that Jordan was going to be her forever. #oratleasthernext6months
JoJo BAWLED when reading both notes. Being the bachelorette is hard y’all.
TIME FOR THE PROPOSALS
Robby got out of the limo first.
JK. That’s not him. But he did get out of the limo first, which didn’t bode well for him. He shook Harrison’s hand and started walking towards JoJo on the beach. He was confident, and dare I say 100% SURE that he was THE ONE.
And I don’t know where it came from, but EVERYTHING IN ME was willing him to turn around. I mean, it took until the 7th hour for me to start liking Robby….and just when I did, she was going to send him packing. He said lots of sweet things, and while all of us realized her contorted facial expressions and silence meant she wasn’t choosing him, he did not pick up on those cues. She finally stopped him (just shy of him popping down on one knee) and explained that although she loved him (the first time she had said that to him, by the way), that her heart was with somebody else. That even though she wanted it to be him, it wasn’t. WHICH DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
Robby was absolutely heart-broken. I mean, had he not explained the burnt meatloaf scenario adequately? But JoJo was a mess. You could tell she felt awful for Robby, and I truly believed that a part of her loved him as well. But the heart wants what it wants. And apparently her heart desires a rogue hair and skinny jeans till death to her part.
Then it was Jordan’s turn. And I have a really important question right now. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS IN HIS POCKET?
He told her all the reasons he loved her. She finally told him she loved him. And then he proposed.
They seemed thrilled. But even though I actually ended up liking Jordan in this episode as well, I’m just not buying it for some reason!?! Still, I would like to suggest a 16×20 print of this on canvas. Above the fireplace.
AFTER THE FINAL ROSE
Robby’s hair was extra swooshy and plasticy while sitting up there with Harrison. But I still liked him! He was genuinely blind-sided. And I think he genuinely loved and adored her. I also genuinely think he should have edited down his accessories. The checked tie was fine, the pocket square was fine, but I think he could have done without the checked flower. But y’all, We don’t need to worry about Robby. Our scruffy Ken doll is going to be just fine. He’ll have another girlfriend and a commercial contract with Crest in no time. Because homeboy’s teeth are WHITE.
So JoJo came out looking like a tan grecian goddess with a perfectly messy pony tail. They had a warm embrace, and part of me felt like JoJo was having to restrain herself from jumping and straddling. Robby was a perfect gentleman, all the while doing his best to get some closure. That closure did not come. The whole I loved you too, but I loved him more argument was hard for him to swallow.
JoJo and Harrison talked for a bit, and then this joker stood up and made a bid to be the next Bachelor. #nevergonnahappen #sitdown
Then it was time for JoJo and Jordan to finally get to appear before Bachelor Nation and the world to show everybody how blissfully happy they in fact were. But I tell ya what. I still had trouble buying it. It all seemed forced. Do y’all agree? JoJo seemed to plaster a smile on her face (but an annoying smirk would sometimes peak through), and Jordan seemed to think that aggressively rubbing her shoulder was going to convince us all that they WERE IN FACT IN LOVE AND GOING TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER DANGIT.
And this was their reaction when Harrison asked about Aaron. Inappropriate, Harrison. Inappropriate.
So, in summary, I hope these two crazy kids work out! They make a gorgeous couple, and I think they are both good people, I’m just not sure?!? I guess you could say I’m cautiously optimistic. 🙂 WHAT ABOUT Y’ALL! Leave your thoughts in the comments!
Now, before you go, remember that the Anniversary Sale ends this weekend…so you only have a handful of days to shop the sale until prices go back up. I’m highlighting three things today that are still available!
If looking for a heeled bootie, THIS one might be your guy! I left the store without them, but I ended up ordering them for myself after I got home! They are such a great price at $79.90! They were true to size for me (even though Nordstrom suggests sizing up), and they will go with everything. They come in several different colors as well.
These GREY BOOTIES (they come in black also) were in several of the outfits from my first day shopping the sale. I got a pair of grey Ivanka Trump booties last year in the sale, and I loved wearing they grey all year! If you are in the market for grey this year, consider these. They are a fantastic price. They are a little hard to get on (since there isn’t a zipper), but I promise you that once you get them on they are extremely comfortable. I was wearing a 6, so I sized down a 1/2 size in these (although online instructions say they run small, so to order 1/2 a size up). So confusing! I think the best bet might be to order your regular size? Click HERE for these suede booties from BP. The studs are so unique, and I just love the contrasting heel.
THESE tees are a year round favorite, and they are on sale right now for $17.90 (regularly $25). I wear a small in the tee, and I think it’s a nice and relaxed fit without being baggy. I already had the white one (and a Kelly green one too), and picked up the “grey ebony” and “purple bramble” for myself….and then ordered the “black-white julia stripe”. THESE TEES are great to wear on their own, but also AWESOME to layer under military jackets, leather jackets, blardigans, and baby blardigans!
See y’all back here on Friday for Santa Alerts! Remember to leave your Bachelorette thoughts in the comments!!!
Erika Slaughter says
I had so many favorite things throughout this post!! Herman-spot ON, I can think of a few people who don’t love Jordan-hilarious, and the RING was in his pocket-I mean unless maybe he brought his Game Boy just in case he was sent home? ????
Sheaffer says
THE RING! OF COURSE! DUHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Well, I feel silly. 🙂
Jess says
Toooo funny! ????????
Kristin S says
The ring, yes, but if he wore normal suits and not 2016-will-be-out-of-style-in-3-minutes short, tight, weird suits, you wouldn’t see the dang ring box. I’m so ready for this style to move on. He grew on me during the AFR show but then was awkward on Kimmel, GMA, and Kelly the next day. I guess I’d be nervous too but the parade of short, tight suits was ridiculous. Beside Harrison in his classically tailored suit, it really showed how this trend needs to GO.
Just my opinion. 🙂
Sara says
Have you ever bought a Barefoot Dreams blanket? I have the blardigan and love it so was thinking about splurging on the blanket!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Sara! Yes, we have a blanket! And the entire family fights over it!!!!!!! It’s absolutely heavenly. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sarah says
Several things. 1) Herman! That made me laugh out loud. They do look strangely similar! 2) The screen shot of the Ken doll tickled me. 3) I wondered what was in Jordan’s pocket too. I can’t believe I didn’t realize it was the ring either!
Sarah says
I also meant to say that I have and love both of those pairs of booties. Both were true to size for me as well, and both really are very comfortable! You’re right about the grey ones, a little difficult to get on, but great once you get them on.
Shay Shull says
Okay, so you know how i was kind of blah about this season…but I seriously teared up when Jordan proposed. I really love them together and hope they work!
Tracy says
Same here Shay… I was rolling my eyes thinking “this guy isn’t for real…” And then he proposed and I found myself smiling and tearing up! What-the-what??? I hope they work out, but like Sheaffer, I saw the body language during ATFR and I’m not sure… Lots of “cool” vibes going on for me!
Kanah says
I’m with you. The proposal was sweet, but I’m not sure they’ll stay together long term. Time will tell! Are you going to watch Ben and Lauren’s tv show?!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kanah! I didn’t know they had one! What channel is it going to be on?
S says
Its going to be on freeform! I can’t decide if I am excited or not. Lol.
Aimee says
I love this recap Shaffer. So fun to read (I’m sad the Bachelorette is over but so, so excited Luke MIGHT be the next bachelor :). I also like Roby so much more this episode. He just felt very genuine and sincere. My take on Jordan is that he has an air about him and is a bit more guarded with his heart and feelings. Is that bad? Not really, unless he is guarded behind closed doors with Jojo. I think they have a real chance at making it, but I guess you never know. I was convinced that they are in love after watching this. I hope they make it, I really like Jojo. For some reason, she reminds me if Jennifer Aniston. She’s very likable. Chad as the next bachelor. Verrrrrry funny :). The only thing I’m left wondering after this is . . . What heck does Jordan do for a living? (I think I read that Roby is in pool sales?). So funny the way that never gets talked about on air. Anyway, thank you for the recap. Have a great day!
Sara says
Jordan just got hired to be a football analyst for the SEC Network….. Interesting timing….
Did y’all see Bachelor in Paradise? No way will Chad ever be The Bachelor. Ever.
Ellen says
I watched an interview with him that was filmed mid-June and he said he had his own business that he started with a couple other guys. It is a nutritional company and they work with athletes as well as “regular” people who want to lose weight and get in shape.
Narci Dreffs says
Oh my goodness! I seriously LOVE the guess who reference and the graphic. Laughed out loud about that!! Too funny, girl! I need to order those tees stat! They look perfect!
Pat says
This was one of the best recaps! They are all fabulous, but this one had me belly laughing!!!! I look forward to them????
Alicia says
#andme
But what do I know? Best of wishes to them…I hope that he doesn’t try to steal her blow dryer or back comb to keep that hair up.
Yes, please on Luke as the next Bach. I would sign right up if it wasn’t for the whole happily married with 3 kids thing I have going on.
Rosalind says
Ha!! Best comment…I feel the exact same way about Luke! But I’m pretty sure my husband wouldn’t approve of me going on the show!
Courtney says
Robby’s teeth weren’t just blindingly white at ATFR, they were new teeth! His teeth always bugged me a bit during the season, and then voila! Perfectly square, chiseled white teeth appeared on Monday. Even more like a Ken doll now. Thanks for all the recaps! I always looks forward to them.
Shelly says
I noticed those new chompers as well! Gotta get ready for those toothpaste commercials! ????
Jill says
So soooo funny! I am rolling laughing, especially the Ken doll picture. Great recap! I don’t know what to make of them but it was a good step that they already had plans for a house in Dallas. I watched part of the Bachelor in Paradise last night. Chad is even more of an a** if that’s possible. Over the top mean and cruel. I don’t usually watch the spinoff but I may this time.
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
Cheers to another season of hilarious recaps Sheaffer! I’m with you, where was the bottle drinking Mama Fletcher?! She had to be dying to take a swig after her sit down with Jordan or when Jojo broke down after they clearly liked Robby better. Also I’m sad her brother’s were more aggressive with Ben then with these two suitors, however I liked their insightfulness. I am not a fan of either of her final two but I have to say the second she told Jordan she loved him and he popped the question, I could see it. She seemed so happy and almost a different Jojo, I just hope that it’s enough to make this relationship last for her sake! She did well with the unfortunate crop of guys she had and I’m going to miss having hair and outfit envy every Monday night :-).
Erin says
Seriously adore your recaps! I cracked up when Robby said, “She’s smart and intelligent and that’s a no brainer.” I even did my own little ba dum tss! 🙂 I wasn’t a fan of either guy until this last episode and I thought Robby hit it out of the park, but you could tell she never wanted him.
Crack me up about Jordan’s pocket. I didn’t notice during the show and when you mentioned it, I looked at his pocket square! 🙂
Amy says
I don’t even watch the Bachelorette/Bachelor (my mother actually refers to it as “moral sewage” LOL), but I never miss one of your hilarious recaps. Thanks for brightening so many days with your sense of humor 🙂
Samantha says
You forgot to mention Jordan bought some stock in Crest white stripes too! I give these 2 maybe another month before they split.
Karen Grissen says
The BEST recap of ALL TIME!!! Soooo dang funny!!!! I got the grey booties and returned them for the enxt size up. Yep, a bit hard to get on but they are comfy. I do think they run a little on the narrow side. I keep looking at those tan booties also, I might have to crumble and buy them.
Patty says
Your recaps crack me up! I, too, was disappointed in Mama Fletcher and the Brothers Fletcher (That video is priceless!) My questions: Why give Chad-hole any airtime? And who cares about Jordan’s missing brother?
I look forward to your next season recaps!
Tara C says
The ONLY reason I watch these shows is because I love your hilarious recaps! Your wit is wonderful.
Melisa Burnett says
Me too!
Sarah says
I love this!!! And… I’ve ordered the black jeans, shoreline converse, and now the tan booties in one week. This could be dangerous for me! 🙂
Jody says
Jordan was my first impression rose! That being said, I, too, am “cautiously optimistic”!
shar y says
Thanks for all of the great recaps you did for this season. I enjoy them more than actually watching the show. You have a way with words and your interpretation of it all. #scriptwriter
Are you doing Bach in Paradise recaps??
Sheaffer says
Not sure if I’m going to recap BIP or not. I watched last night and was ashamed at what they were showing! Definitely not recapping this week, but might in the future! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kara says
Awesome recap! Thanks for putting some laughter into my Wednesday. I am going to miss the recaps. 🙁
Deseri says
Did you not notice Robby’s NEW teeth??
Natalie Norris says
The Ken doll!!!! I love you even more now Sheaffer!
Morgan Eckert says
Love your recaps Sheaffer!! Not sure if you watch Bachelor in Paradise or not. I didn’t watch it last night but I’m curious if you are going to be recapping that show as well or not? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Morgan! I haven’t decided if I”m recapping it or not?!? I watched last night and it was AWFUL! Chad was even more of an idiot than normal, and there were so many questionable moments. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
heidi says
#herman. .i think just woke my kids up from laughing so hard! !
Yes, yes, yes to everything. . I laughed at # sit down to Chad. Seriously sit down , shut up.
Ok she came out after the final rose and I nearly proposed abd I’m married with 3 kids lol… she looked stunning . But I agree there was something very off. No snuggling in tight, so rubbing hands all over, it seemed very forced on jojo side.
We shall see !!
Victoria Mazzola says
Your recap is always my absolute FAVORITE to read! So so funny and accurate. I loved it again even though all season I’ve been #teamJordan….here’s hoping they last!!
Kathryn says
Sheaffer – I’ve never watched one single episode of the Bachelor or Bachelorette but your recaps are so hilarious that I read them in their entirety and laugh out loud the whole time. You need a collaboration with their franchise – if someone who has never even seen the show is liking your recaps…that’s sayin’ something! 🙂
xo
Kathryn
(Carly is one of my peeps so I feel like I know you.)
Chas @ Haute Mommy Blog says
Girl your added in photos are HILARIOUS!! The Guess Who and Ken doll. I’m dying over here!
http://www.hautemommyblog.com
Shawnee says
Robby won be over at the end too! I think she picked the wrong guy but maybe I’m wrong and they will live happily ever after!!
And I really need the anniversary sale to end so I will stop shopping!! I’ve bought so much and have the black jeans in my cart now and more panties!!
Cariann says
I am so glad I stumbled across your blog. I absolutely love your recaps and because of you I have purchased tons from the anniversary sale. I love my 2 baby blardigans, I think they are the cozies the things ever. I ordered a few of the Caslon tees, they are great! Wondering how you dry yours? Also, do you dry clean your lush tees and perfect tunics?
Britt Hensley says
Another season down, & your recaps did not disappoint! Your recaps are far better than the show! Bravo, bravo!
Janet says
Did anyone else notice the big new teeth on Robby. He must have gotten veneers. I really liked his teeth better before.
MelanieL says
Hilarious recap…I’m sad it’s over! Your words on the photo of Jordan and “Dr. Fletcher” about him looking familiar made me LOL at work a little too loudly!!!
Patty says
I thought he got a tweaked nose but maybe it was just his teeth. He was even more Ken like than before.
Donna says
Your recaps are so funny–they totally make my day! The picture of Ken was so spot on! I didn’t get a good feeling about JoJo and Jordan. I think it will be over in less than 6 months 🙁
Rebecca Jo says
I actually was Team Jordan from the get go so I was so excited about the finale.
But I too was swooning over Robby talking to the parentals. That was a classy speech he gave.
& YEAHHH – where’s the ticked off brothers? I wanted them so badly.
I will say, you know they had to have the guys wear the same color blue suit to throw off all the spoilers.. & even when the first leg came out of the limo I was freaking out till they panned up. Clever ABC, clever
Cheryl says
Love it all as usual! One observation from After the Final Rose: I think Chad is a werewolf. His beard is literally creeping slowly but surely up his face. Next time we see him it may be connected to his eyebrows.
Traci says
I thought the very same thing!
Cindy Gleason says
When Robby was dressing for the ceremony, I noticed that he slipped into his shoes ~ with NO sox. So when that first foot stepped out of the limo ~ with sox ON ~ I thought it must be Jordan. Guess Robby added his sox on the way?
Michelle says
Were you dying when Robby got in the water on their date – I was so excited to see his hair get messed up – no such luck – still perfect afterwards. We need to know what product he uses! Love your recaps!!
Jennifer says
K, I thought the SAME thing about JoJo…she was not her bubbly self on after the final rose. Jordan never really looks her in the eye and he is all over the place with his answers! She totally picked feminine men and their clothing choices make me laugh. And the whole Jordan’s brother thing, who cares! They made such a big deal about it. I have my doubts as well if they will make it. She totally knew she would end up with Jordan since they were in contact with each other before the show began. I will say they did look a bit happier together on Good Morning America the next day. Ok, did you know that JoJo had her own personal stylist for her season? Did that come with the show or did she do that for herself? Anyway, love that show and your recaps make me laugh! You outdid yourself on this last one girl! And Chad is such a dousch bag! Now on to Bachelor in Paradise….Train wreck, but good TV!
Karen says
So glad someone else noticed Robby’s sock situation! My heart sank for a second thinking it was Jordan! Also, I thought Ben looked soooo uncomfortable sitting out in the audience–like he would rather have been ANYWHERE else, but somebody made him come! Thanks for the Wednesday morning laughs all season!
Lisa B says
You know I had read that she picked Jordan but that they had already broken up by ATFR. So I was looking for signs of a fake relationship and to my eye they looked really happy. And that certainly made me happy. So I’m rooting for them.
And #Herman = #Hillarious!!!
Kelly Rogers says
I didn’t watch all of the episodes this season, but I called it when Jordan stepped out of the limo. I did watch the finale and realized that regardless of Robby or Jordan, dare I say it, I didn’t like JoJo as the Bachelorette. Eek! #teambecca
Paige says
This season was so boring but the last episode was def the best! I found myself team jojo & Jordan! I’ve been liking heir pics on IG and follow on smapchat! This is the real deal! Ha! This recap was hilarious!!!
M says
You are so funny! Always the best recap. I’m surprised u missed talking about Robby’s lil slippers tho! 🙂
Toni :0) says
OMG, those slippers!!! I nearly died when I saw those as no man should be wearing them!! B
Amber says
Sheaffer! There was a pre-final rose ceremony letter before! SEAN’s season! Catherine sent him a note before their final rose ceremony. 😉
I died laughing about #GuessWho #goodcall 🙂
Another season in the books! Are you watching Paradise?!
Heather says
I don’t watch the show but love to read your recaps. So stinkin funny. However I did watch the final episode with my family because we wanted to check out Jordan. All I could do was yell at the tv “of course the brothers don’t get along! Aaron is a class act and Jordan is…. NOT”. I think Jordan is just happy he won the competition. No way will it last. I was trying to explain the show to my 11 year old son and he said ” I would hate dating 30 girls at the same time…. You would not be able to go anywhere. I’d rather have 30 dogs”. Right on little man!
Gina says
I’m a little late in reading this, but I loved it! That Guess Who reference… so funny and SO spot on! Herman.
Here’s my take on Jordan: I like him. A lot. And I really hope they make it. I think they have as good a shot as any couple from this show! I feel like it was VERY obvious from night one that he was her favorite. Sure, she may have loved Robby too but she never quite got there with him. I feel like she could’ve ended the show about 4 weeks earlier because she picked Jordan long before that last week.
My personal opinion on how Jordan is that he’s probably been misunderstood a lot in his life. That, and I feel like he’s probably lived a large part of his life feeling like he has to prove himself. Think about it- you want to be a pro NFL quarterback- you try, but you’re juuuust not quite good enough..but your brother… your brother is arguably the best QB to play the game in recent years. No matter the nature of their personal/family relationship, that can’t be easy to deal with. I feel like his not seeming genuine stemmed from frustration.. like “ok, I love this girl.. I’ve told her I love her.. I don’t know what else to say or how to show and I keep getting questioned and I’m over it.. I just want to love her and be with her”. Like he’s been there and done that with having to prove “how good” he is. It has to be exhausting.
I feel like at ATFR, they were both just SO FED UP with the media saying things about them and EVERYONE asking about Aaron that their facial expressions couldn’t hide it anymore. I feel like they are genuinely in love and are just DONE having to answer to everyone. Of course I realize I could be eating my words in 4 months, but I always felt like they were the real deal…both of them.
Thanks, Sheaffer… great recap once again!

Your recap had me seriously cracking up!!! You are so clever and insightful! I pretty much agree with you on every point! I am fairly good at reading expressions and I’m pretty sure Jordan and Jojo don’t exactly have a good foundation to build a marriage on right now! Hopefully, they will make it! He is not the one I would’ve picked for her, but as you so aptly pointed out, “the heart wants what it wants”.
Do you write recaps for Bachelor in Paradise? I don’t care for it as much as The Bachelor/Bachelorette, but your recaps are the highlight of my week #ineedtogetalife….but seriously you are the funniest gal I know ….wait I guess I don’t really “know” you….but kinda feel like I do.
Thanks for making this Bachelorette season soooo fun!

Hi, Stacy! Thanks for your sweet words! Glad to hear you enjoy the recaps! Not sure if I’m going to be recapping Bachelor in Paradise or not. I think it might be too crazy! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

I finally started liking Luke, but she didn’t pick him. I think Chase is just “blah.” Not a fan of Robby or Jordan but if she had to pick one I would have gone with Robby. Oh well. Hopefully it’s real but I just never felt it from Jordan.
