Sorry I missed last week, although I must say it was a nice little break.
I’d be lying if I didn’t say that part of me just wishes Hwahan would call it quits and just head over to Dancing With The Stars already.
This week they are in Vietnam.
And they are ROCKIN colored shorts and scarves. And I dig it.
This is Alli.
Seriously. No idea.
Mama.
Please tell me you remember these too.
God Bless the 80s.
She wants to kiss him soooooooooo bad, like soooooo SOOOOOOOOOOO SO bad, but Hwahan declares to the camera that it’s not going to happen tonight.
Why? Because of Cameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeela and Ben.
Um. Hwahan.
You’ve already kissed like 32 girls, so the Cameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeela argument doesn’t fly.
You also kissed the NBA dancer who has a kid.
So the Ben argument doesn’t fly either.
Poor Mama!
I’m starting to get nervous because if Mama runs to a bathroom and starts crying,
Who’s invited? All you need to know is that Clare is invited.
And she pretty much looks like this the rest of the episode.
Hwahan tells the girls to partner up, and the one left without a partner (Clare) gets to hop
in Hwahan’s “boat”.
I use the term “boat” loosely here.
Um. Hwahan. What about Cameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeela?
And, I hate to always be Debbie Downer, but was nobody worried that their BOWL might capsize?
I’m thinking Vietnam waters might have a snake or 2 in them.
#nothankyou
#somebodygetmeoutofthisbowl
#fortheloveofeverythinggetyourtongueoutofmymouthandkeepthisbowlsteady
Clare manages to sit next to Hwahan (as only Clare can make happen consistently) and he continues to give her a little extra attention.
Cut to the cocktail party.
Just a hunch.
Again, I feel compelled to question why he thinks Cameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeela would be okay with him sucking face with Clare, but not with Mama.
They returned to the date after a full blown love fest in his private pool, and then he sneaks away with the opera singer.
She says that she needs to know that he sees her as a Panda in a room full of brown bears.
Me no understand.
She seems sad.
So he sticks his tongue down her throat to make her feel better (and to get her to stop talking).
SHE CAN WEAR A BACKLESS DRESS LIKE NOBODY’S BUSINESS.
She seems sad.
So he sticks his tongue down her throat to make her feel better (and to get her to stop talking).
She stops giving the stink eye for a 1/2 a second while they are making out.
And I’m scared for her.
J/K
WAIT.
Who is that sneaking away?
That’s right girls, you guessed it. CLARE.
She declares that she wants to swim in a warm ocean for the first time.
I know it’s hard to read, but do you see that her hometown is California?
I’m going to go ahead and call bull corn on the fact that she wants to go swim in a warm ocean
for the first time.

She says,
Who knows if it really happened or if ABC is just trying to make us think it happened, but we are all left wondering if Hwahan and Clare just did the big wiggle.
I would like to go ahead and put it out there that the big wiggle would be hard to actually accomplish with the large waves that were crashing around them.
At this point, my guess is that Clare was actually talking about eating a brownie or something and that those tricky producers at ABC just edited it to their liking. Because let’s be honest, Clare’s ROCKING bod makes me think she never allows herself to indulge in a brownie.
Let’s examine her statement again, but this time let’s assume she’s talking about eating a brownie.
“I let myself be vulnerable. We just went for it, and I don’t regret it. Pure bliss, in every way.”
See? She could totally be talking about a brownie.
Second 1:1
Nikki
Date Card says: Let’s Have a Hell of a Good Time
And while looking at Nikki I can’t decide if her look is more Pocahontus….
Or if it’s more reminiscent of Olivia Newton John in her Get Physical video.
Nikki panics, Hwahan grabs her face and tells her to stop being a baby.
Just kidding.
He doesn’t tell her that.
But he should have.
She tries to pull it together, but asks “Should someone call my mom and tell her I love her?”
Her next quote is my favorite of the night. When considering the possible outcomes of her choice to repel down into the cave she says:
3 very plausible outcomes.
Nikki, THE PEDIATRIC NURSE says “I wouldn’t have came here if I didn’t think I could be a step mom.” Really? Really Nurse Nikki?
Time for the cocktail party.
And he finally kisses Mama!
And it seemed to be a really good kiss.
Way better than the opera singer is able to offer.
I tell you what needs to happen.
Ari needs to throw Mama against a wall and show her how it’s done.
And then he basically STARTS BLAMING HER for their little escapade in the ocean!
He says it “felt weird” and that “it wasn’t fair”.
Clare, I’m with you on this one, Hwahan needs to take some ownership.
He straight up tried to shame her, and I found it incredibly annoying and oogie.
TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY Hwahan.
Cameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeela is YOUR daughter, not Clare’s. You could have spoken up.
Now, in addition to The Bachelor talk, I thought I would include some things for those of you that would also like to get your shop on!

I found a perfect transition piece for Spring! Throw it on with jeans and some converse and you are set! It comes in 2 other colors (solid pink and navy polka dot that aren’t sold out!) AND it’s 40% off!

Check out this little gem I found in the Nordstrom’s Junior’s Department.
The idea is very similar to the MUST HAVE Shirt, but the sizing is very different.
I wear an x-small in the MUST HAVE shirt, and the shirt I have on is a small.
Click HERE for the shirt, only solid colors still available. It’s only $38!
I think soooo many of the colors would look great with denim jeans now, and with white jeans for Spring and Summer!

The PERFECT Valentine gift to have your hubby buy you or TO GIFT TO YOURSELF would be The Blardigan.
My friend Andrea’s 2 year old loves it so much, that she is actually thinking of buying him his own for his 3rd birthday. How hilarious is that?
And my friend Narci’s (you need to check out her photography blog HERE) 5 year old told her it “felt like a unicorn cloud”. We’re not really sure what that means, but we are thinking it’s fabulous.
Click HERE for the blardigan.
Here is Mason LOOKIN’ LIKE A BOSS in his mama’s blardigan.

Mix and Match Mama says
Clare…oh Clare. I'm going to think she was discussing a brownie. That makes it less painful for me.
Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
So I keep trying to resist the puffy vest order because I live in Houston and it should be 70 degrees right now. But winter keeps rolling on and now I'm kicking myself that I don't have it today when it's a balmy 29 here. Grrrrr. I'm going to go put it in my cart for like the 3rd time now. Great recap as usual!
Peggy Bowes says
Actually, as a California girl, I totally get Clare's wish to swim in a WARM ocean. The Pacific is FREEZING. All the time. And those Converse Shoreline slip-on sneakers? Pure awesomeness! I got a pair in white with hot pink accents and I loved them so much, I ordered another pair in black with purple accents. Now I am seriously considering a gray and red pair like yours or maybe the gray and coral that you linked to above.
MJ says
ha ha!! Your BAchelor posts are brilliant, it doesn't even exist over here anymore (no great loss though!) but these recaps completely make up for my lack of Real TV, because yeah, I'm all serious like that now, I wear tan boots and grey cardigans over lottle black dresses so I'm not in it for the joke, I only watch the news and our National Assmebly debates…. please everyone pretend you believe me 😀
Marion says
LOVE your blog. It is helping me so much…I seem to get the style version of writers block in front of my closet. You are helping me to overcome that! Thanks so much!
April Parrish says
I can't stop laughing! Super funny Bachelor recap! I like the Mama too, and was also confused about the kissing deal! Classic Clare don't play around with men or brownies b/c it is obvious she hasn't had anything to eat in weeks! I guess JP fills her appetite!!! LOL!
Have a great day!
Tiffany Martha says
Please know that your blog is now my official fave! You make me laugh out loud so much! I swear… today… I was almost crying. Thanks for taking the time to brighten my days and give me much needed info about good deals! Awesome. Just awesome.
Kelly says
I was also going to comment the the Pacific Ocean is freezing!!! All of the time!! But loved the recap anyway! I can't stand Juan Pablo…it is obvious that he doesn't having much going on upstairs. I have a feeling we will NOT be seeing Juan's wedding anytime soon.
Kelly says
I couldn't love anything more than your Bachelor recaps. Seriously. You also make me want to spend $$ on clothes everyday. But we won't tell my husband that. 🙂
Danavee says
I thought he treated her TERRIBLY! Way to not own up to something you willingly participated in, grown man!
A.C. says
Seconding the California comment–I am a Northern California native, and up here the Pacific Ocean is COLD year round. And Sacramento is nowhere near the ocean, so Clare's excuse to swim in warm waters was corny, sure, but not completely false. 🙂 Love your reviews, and really excited for the red wellies giveaway 🙂

Hilarious! in every way! except for the fact that my name is also Claire and I take offense to everything Clare is doing….no class whatsoever
Kathy Stevens says
Loved the Nikki/poop her pants bit! Today just might be the day for me to bite the bullet and get a blardigan…you have yet to steer me wrong and have only mentioned it 476 times!!
L says
Fabulous. Every bit of it. I laugh so hard at these re-cap posts. And of course appreciate all of the shopping posts so very much. 🙂
Elaine Welte says
I say it probably every week, but this may be your best recap yet!
Sabrina says
HILARIOUS!!! And I said the SAME thing about the ocean and the Cameeelllla ordeal. It's the Bachelor. You kiss on this show. It's what you do. You kiss all of them. If you don't want your child seeing you kiss girls–then 1. don't go on the bachelor or 2. don't let her watch. That's just my opinon though. I know he is just trying to have some boundaries and keep it classy (and I like that), but you can't make out with some girls and then pull the kid card on a few of them. It just doesn't work!
And the opera singer can rock a backless dress like nobody's business. You are right about that!!!
And Clare gets on my nerves with her having to be all beside JP all the time. Give me a break. LOL!
Kasey Herbers says
I look so forward to your recap every week, because you say exactly what I was thinking while watching the show! This season has been painful to watch! Mama is my favorite too but not with JP!
chodgkiss says
Love your bachelor recaps…they make me laugh so hard! Got a few questions…where did you get your welly socks? and where did you get the shirt you are wearing under your puffer vest?
Amy Kleis says
The converse that you don't have to tie ("shoreline") runs small…..don't know why, but I tried a pair on but basically you need to size up! I have 4 regular pairs in size 7 and even the hidden wedge high tops in a size 7, but when I tried on a 7, they were too small and tight. Almost could go up a whole size if wearing socks and converse do not stretch!!!
Lindsay says
I am so far behind on this season that I just decided to forgo watching it and will just read your recaps instead! 🙂
Ansleighsmom says
omg I just love your recap u always say exactly what I am thinking and I laugh out loud at work! thanks I just needed this laugh this am! have a great thursday!
Liz/happymommy says
I seriously just about died from your recap, SO funny! And you know I just can't get on board with this Hwahan Pablo guy cause he is all sorts of confusing and he's just blah SO the other week I headed over to the Reality Steve blog to get the dirt on all the spoilers and because he makes fun of HP so much and it is so hilarious to me. This season is really a joke to me and the only thing that keeps me watching it is your recaps because they are SO spot on and just to dang funny!!! This guy just doesn't have it going on and if he uses the Cameeeeeeeeeela excuse ONE MORE time I will probably just vomit….it's ridiculous!
On a better note, Mason in that blardigan….cutest blardigan wearer EVER!!!
Amy@eatsleepdecorate says
I have never responded on your blog before, but can I say that I am laughing so hard right now..that I have almost peed my pants! Love your commentary on the Bachelor. I actually went to college with Juan and it is quite funny how none of my friends remember him having such a thick accent. I guess playing professional soccer in South America change that! He was a good guy, but a total ladies man as you can already tell! Thanks for starting my day off with a good laugh!
Katie Woodworth says
love your bachelor recaps but the real question for me today is who won the rodan + fields giveaway?
Sonya says
I love, love, love your Bachelor recaps! Hilarious!! After seeing this weeks episode, I couldn't wait to read your thoughts about it. Crazy stuff happening this season! Thanks for giving me a good laugh this morning!
Rebecca Jo says
Your bachelor recaps are the best!
I kept wondering why he wouldn't kiss Renee either. She's my favorite. I'm hoping its because he respects her & just looks at the others like little hoes? Fingers crossed or her – the only one who seems to have any sense.
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Your recaps are SO much better than the show. There's a writing contract out there for you, I can just feel it! You should create your own reality show!
Christy says
I love your take this week. I totally agree that her actions are all classic Clare moves, she seems quite self-absorbed. Juan is not much better. So wrong of him to blame her like that. I was so disappointed with every detail of that situation. I am wondering when all the other ladies find out(you know they will). Now that will be AMAZING!
Anonymous says
I got the "blardigan" two weeks ago and I am in love. I just ordered the leggings that I
"must" have.. If I get a divorce, I'm blaming you 🙂 – oh, and since ABC no longer lets me watch the bachelor parts that I missed, I'm glad to read your recap!! 🙂
Theresa says
I don't watch the Bachelor and to be honest I had no interest in the show at all before I started reading your recaps. You are amazingly funny and while I will still probably never watch the show, I look forward to your take on it each week!
Ny says
Sheaffer, you are hilarious!!!!! Your hashtags and comments crack. me. up! You are too much and I love your recaps!
Having a rough day today and you just made my day better! Thank you!
Oh! And I am crossing my fingers that somehow the rafflecopter picks my name for the Hunter Boots giveaway! My bestie and I jokingly call ourselves Shay and Sheaffer. ( I am brunnette and a jokester!) Yup!:)
Nyrla
Melissa Gibbs says
Love your recap! I also love Mama and she is my favorite but I see her with someone with more class than Juan! He blew it for me with the Clare blame game talk…what a cop out!
The Wallace Family says
I haven't watched this seasons bachelor and it sounds like I don't need to. But, I just cried I am laughing so hard at your recap! He sounds like a real winner (NOT). Maybe Mama will become the next bachelorette!? Love reading your blog daily!! Thanks for the laughs!
Kelly says
Sheaffer, your recap did not disappoint. As always, thank you!!! I love Mama too, but I am also a fan of Andi and Nikki (the ONJ reference was a stitch!) Have a great day 🙂
Anonymous says
I am not a fan of Juan. The naked photo shoot a few weeks ago did me in so not watching this season. I like your reviews, though! They remind me why I'm not watching this season- haha!
Cynthia James Garner says
I love your blog!! 🙂 hoping to win some wellies for my bestie twin Sister and I 🙂
Crystal McDonald says
Hahaha! Perfect recap! Classic Clare aka the resident hooch. I love mama too! Question about the blardigan.. Is the ombré coming back??
Marie Mendelsohn says
I just found your blog about a month ago, and I love it! I love your fashion advice… but, I have to admit, your Bachelor recap posts are my favorite. 🙂 I'm sure it is a lot to keep it up, but I really appreciate the laughs! It's funny… Now when I watch the Bachelor, I think "I can't wait to see what Sheaffer will say about this." Oh, Clare. But, yes, shame on Huwahan. I'm hoping a little that Mama is the next Bachelorette. She's awesome and deserves way better than Huwahan!!
Mariela says
Yep I'm not a fan of this season. He is too much into looks and not into finding his soulmate. By the looks of it he is in it to party and not to find his wife, let alone a mother for Cameeeela! lol hilarious!
V @ X-tremely V says
I actually watched the entire episode this week…OMG! Can you say Clare is a Hoe? lol! Or at least she totally made herself look like one after that ocean stunt and her toast! Crazy! JP wasn't any better though laying all the blame on her.
And how adorable is Mason in the blardigan? 🙂
Chic Coastal Living says
That was the perfect recap! I laughed out loud a few times!!! I totally agree on everything you said and he was such a blank by blaming her!
Lindsay says
Ari and Mama = good call!! How long do these group dates last b/c I was thinking the same thing when he snuck Clare away to his suite for pool time…do the other poor girls just sit there for hours? Opera singer and backless dresses…totally rocks them. Is it weird that I started liking Nikki better after her poop comment? Totally wanted to scream at JP when he told Clare to look at him a hundred times. In fact, despite his womanizing ways and everything else that might be annoying, I was still on board with him up until that point. There is something about shaming a girl and then making her look at you that seems totally creepy and controling. But your best comment of the whole recap…brownies…yup, I think she was totally commenting on brownies.

Hysterical.
Jenny M says
Oh, this season definitely has some good drama doesn't it?
Why Clare didn't muster her self respect, apologize for the misunderstanding and hand him back the rose is beyond me… I would have called a cab immediately. I think they were wrong to sneak off during the group date and to hook up in the middle of the night. But still, I was very disappointed in Juan for the way he reacted after the fact.
This is clearly who he is- he keeps saying he doesn't want to upset them and doesn't want to tell them the truth upfront so as not to "hurt their feelings" (is it me or has he said that EVERY EPISODE?)…then you find out later that something he agreed to is not at all what he wanted.
Mama DESERVES to be the next bachelorette… I'm hoping she makes it a few more weeks and then becomes the next one. She deserves a great guy– but not him!
Hayley Chandler says
I seriously need to stop watching The Bachelor this season. Your posts are way more entertaining and take a whole lot less time. Thanks for always giving me a good laugh!!!
Audra Kelly says
I enjoy your recaps more than I do the actual show!! Hilarious!!
Jennifer Morgan says
I absolutely adore your blog and think the recap is better than the show itself. I'm also very disappointed in Hwahan and how he shamed Clare. Do I like her? No but she didn't deserve to be treated like that. Really changed my image of him even though he's been sucking face with all the girls anyway. And I love mama!!!! She's too good for Hwahan and I hope she finds true love–just somewhere else!
nichole says
Yeah for flash sale Friday at Goodnight Macaroon – I have had my eye on that grey asymmetrical top since you first posted!
klmoore23 says
I'm with you girl! In all the seasons I've ever watched I've never thought to myself…"is it over yet". What a painful season this is! Thanks for bringing humour to the awkward moments this week. This one's certainly not a Sean, that's for sure! Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
Kate says
Love your Bachelor recap posts! I wrote a post earlier this week about how the Bachelor leaves me with more questions than answers. Yes, JP is being SUCH a hypocrite for all his "I'm not going to kiss this girl (because of my daughter), but I will kiss that that girl." Uggghhh. Then this whole debacle with Clare…geeze louise, Huwahn! And how many more times will we hear Charleen say the word "organic?"
Beth says
Now when I watch the Bachelor I hear your voice narrating it for me! Love it 🙂 You have the funniest way of hitting the nail on the head about everything I'm thinking and putting into a hilarious recap. Thanks for this!
Amy says
I have the Calson button down shirt you have posted for spring and I'm wearing it today! I have the pink polka dot that isn't shown anymore but I love the shirt!! And I bought it for the exact same reason…great transition piece!

I've come back to your blog probably 15 times today to look at the grey and coral Converse. I am not a flats person, but I LOVE my Sperrys and decided to branch out and get the Converse. And now I'm bummed because the ship date is the end of February!!
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
You are so spot on with Clare. She just bothers me now. I was super excited this for this season b/c I really liked JP when he was on Dez's season of The Bachelorette; and the fact that he really loves his daughter. But I've been really disappointed in some of his actions. But I'll keep watching, especially for your recaps 🙂
