So we ended last week with Kelsey on the floor having a “panic attack.”
The girl is ridic.
Last week I opened up the comments for nicknames for Kelsey, and you girls did not disappoint.
Here were some of my favs:
#CuckooForCocoaPuffsKelsey
#counselorneedscounselingkelsey
#krazykelsey
#couselmecrazy
Amazingly Tragic Kelsey
#gonegirlkelsey
#swimfankelsey
#etruehollywoodkelsey
Thank you anonymous commenter!
The show opens with over the top crying from #krazyinakardi herself.
I will say, posting this next picture of her does make me feel a little bit better.
Europe?…nope
Um, nope.
Deadwood, SOUTH DAKOTA.
(Sidenote for Megan: South Dakota is in fact in the United States.)
And the giggling?
Well.
Chris doesn’t “just giggle”. He giggles like a 5th grade girl.
I’d like to give Whitney’s side eye to Chris’s laugh.
Whitney side eye to that as well.
But y’all.
Even with the make-out session, the date is totes boring.
Still, I like her, and I think she might be able to actually live on a farm in Iowa.
They can be boring in Iowa together.
And you have to admit, they make a handsome couple.
It becomes apparent very quickly that Carly is the president of the I Hate Kelsey club.
Whitney is VP.
And Kaitlyn is the Social Chair. Because obviously.
(I mean really, I’ll bet you all $20 that Kaitlyn was social chair of every club she was ever in.)
In a nutshell, the translation for what all of the girls are saying to Kelsey can be broken down into the following:
We hate you Kelsey.
Pack your bags.
#byefelicia
Ruh-Roh
The word “win” always sends up red flags for me.
The only thing #krazyinakardi is winning tonight is the ability to grow old alone in a house full of cats…because no man sitting at home right now is thinking how he wants to get with her.
Let that sink in.
Way to keep it classy ABC.
Britt is surprisingly pretty dang awesome.
She has perfect hair even when she doesn’t shower for days AND she can sing?
That’s annoying.
Too bad she thought she was dressing for an NKOTB concert in 91 though. Because WOW.
Can’t you just picture her waving her arms back and forth over her head and giving us some
“Whoah oh oh oh oh – Hanging Tough! OH oh oh oh oh xx Hanging Tough!”
#joeyforever
And just because I know you are all singing it in your heads anyway, let’s go ahead and have a little sing-a-long.
Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance.
Just get on the floor and do the New Kid’s dance.
Don’t worry ’bout nothin’ cause it won’t take long.
WE’RE GONNA PUT YOU IN THE TRANCE WITH A FUNKY SONG.
Please NKOTB.
Put me in a trance with a funky song.
I beg you.
Megan’s turn, but sadly, nobody has given her the memo that Leggings are Not Pants.
But somebody needs to.
Because they’re not.
Carly’s song was impressive!
She should sing for a living on a cruise ship or something.
The night of the group date, everybody was just sitting around on couches and hanging out.
And all of a sudden Chris and Brit head out the door and start running down the street, and they wind up at a Big and Rich concert. They totally make out in the crowd.
they dance on stage, and then he gives her a rose.
And then Big and Rich start playing their famous “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” song.
Except, they change the words up.
“Save a Horse, Ride a Farmboy.”
I only wish I would have thought of it myself.
I might be a little bitter.
Nobody likes a missed opportunity.
Chris and Britt walk back in to the group of girls on the date with them.
And CRICKETS.
Really scary kill you in your sleep and then eat your eyeballs right out of your head crickets.
And Whitney brought out her face again.
And then Carly cried.
And they Kaitlyn cried.
And then Whitney cried.
It’s time for the 2:1 date!
1 Stays 1 Goes
Let’s have a good time in the badlands.
The girls are getting ready for their dates, and I can’t help but think they are dressing for two completely different dates.
#virgininabottle must think that “The Badlands” is an 80s dance club. which to be fair, seems like an honest mistake to me.
#kraziinakardi appears to have dressed for a fishing expedition seminar held at
the local community college.
Girls, how did we get to this place where #virgininabottle is the more sensible pick?
During #virgininabottle’s 1:1 time, they make out, and then she tells Chris that all the girls think that #krazyinakardi is fake.
Then he has 1:1 time with #krazyinakardi
She’s being her normal sanctimonious self.
And then Chris throws #virgininabottle under the buss.
Like he says “Ashley just told me that you’re being fake, and that scares me.”
You know what scares me Chris? KELSEY!
And all I can think is that one of the camera men needs to warn Ashley.
I mean, somebody needs to quietly whisper in her ear that she needs to get the heck out of dodge.
Or maybe one should just scream “ASHLEY! RUN FOR THE HILLS!”
And I’m thinking that joining Witness Protection might not be the worst idea either.
#kraziinakardi comes back from the date and she hops on the bed with #virgininabottle.
She shoots daggers out of her eyes at her for a good 30 seconds, and when Ashley finally makes eye contact, Kelsey lowers her chin and calmly says “I know what you did.”
And I almost peed myself.
And it deserves mentioning that although #kraziinacardi is most definitely certifiable, the girl must have a great skin care regimen and routine, because her skin is flawless.
#virgininabottle goes and grabs Chris, starts bawling, and asks him why he told her what she said. She puts her head in his lap, and at this point, the only thing I am thinking is WHAT THE HECK IS HER MAKE-UP GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN SHE LOOKS UP!?!?
And y’all.
She looks up, and there’s no mascara anywhere.
Not a drop.
Not a flake.
Not a schmear.
HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
It then becomes obvious that he’s sending #virgininabottle home because he doesn’t think she “fits his lifestyle”.
And he’s right.
I mean, of course he’s right.
But #virgininabottle does not go quietly.
On her way out she throws Britt under the bus too and is all “You think BRITT fits your lifestyle?”
touche
It shows the intern back at the hotel grabbing Ashley’s suitcase, and the girls freak out.
And then Ashley has a full on breakdown in the badlands.
And the sobbing and hyperventilating continues.
And won’t you all please join me in looking for mascara running.
You can’t.
BECAUSE THERE IS NONE.
And then in a SHOCKING TWIST, Chris tells #krazyinakardi that she’s going home too.
Whoah.
And here’s the deal, she handles it gracefully.
Just like a real psychopath should.
She talks about her tragic, inspiring, and beautiful story again and says she is immeasurably blessed.
#she’ssoblessed
#i’msoscared
Cut back to the house.
The girls FLIP THE FREAK OUT when the intern comes in to get Kelsey’s suitcase too.
COMPLETE and TOTAL JUBILATION is how I would describe the scene.
People are high fiving, jumping on couches, and Carly is making it rain with champagne.
#teamcarly
They are all feeling #soblessed now that #krazyinakardi is gone.
But if I were them, I wouldn’t feel totally settled about any of this.
I’m thinking #krazyinakardi might be the hold a grudge type.

Samantha says
I love your recaps!
Mix and Match Mama says
I laughed out loud at her death stare! I'm pretty sure I've given my kids the same look when they're misbehaving in public :).
Erika Slaughter says
Fabulous job friend!!!! I felt the same way. I thought, "Whoa, I'm cheering for Ashley on this date?" But sending them both home was even better!
Anonymous says
Ahhh so funny! You nailed Kelsey's look – fishing seminar at a cc haha! And not a fan of th crop tops on display this episode either. Thanks for the recap, I look forward to Wednesdays 🙂
Jenny Morgan says
I so look forward to your recaps–they really are the highlight of my day! My takeaways–I lol when the girls popped open the bubbly in celebration for the craziness formerly known as Kelsey–I'm thinking she should now have a sign like Prince. As you did, I also took notice that after all the sobbing from #virgininabottle her makeup stayed perfectly intact–how is that possible?!? Cement, putty–I just don't get it. So as always, your recap didn't disappoint ?
Narci says
So funny! Totally #donnyforever ! Love you, friend!
Heather says
After Monday I look forward to Wednesday just because I know you are posting your bachelor recap. Yours is the BEST! Love your humor!
Anonymous says
I can't wait until recap day…I grab my coffee and laugh nonstop! In fact, this season I just read your recap and don't even tune in to the show. You are hilarious!
Laura says
I was also very concerned about Jade and her limbs during the rose ceremony! I hollered at the TV for Chris to call her first so she could run inside and get under an electric blanket. I was so proud of myself for calling it, until she had to go back to her spot on the risers and let us watch her FREEZE. This whole episode was very taxing on my nerves, but your awesome recaps remind me that it's worth the sacrifice haha 🙂
April Parrish says
Great Bachelor recap!!!! You always make me laugh!!! Next week there are 2 episodes…you poor thing!!! Hang in there we are in the short rows now!!!
Have a blessed day!
Amy Lawrence says
My favorite part this week of you recap was you telling Chris he doesn't want six kids! "Bless his heart. Chris no you don't!" Ahhhh hilarious and true!
Anonymous says
You are wonderfully hilarious! Just…thank you! 😉
P.S. Saw Ashley on Jimmy Kimmel the other night, he asked her about her no run/no smear mascara and she said that she doesn't wear mascara but has eyelash extensions. Mystery solved!
Kristin Cramer says
I look forward to your Bachelor recap every week! What are you going to do with TWO "most dramatic rose ceremony" episodes next week?!? 🙂 Thanks for starting my day with a laugh. LOVE your sarcasm.
DIYbyDesign says
Great recap as always. The whole episode was crazy. Chris lost my respect big time on two issues in this episode: One – I think Chris might just be the rudest thing ever for running off with Britt during the group date…for over an hour (the girls said). Can you imagine how idiotic they felt once they realized that he had planned the rose thing way in advance (remember they pointed out that there was no rose in the tray). Two – As you stated he threw #virgininabottle under the bus by telling Kelsey what she said. Also, do these girls not watch past episodes?? You know the messenger of the news that someone in the house is not as they seem usually gets the boot. Rookie mistake to tell Chris. lol Looking forward to reading your recap next week when they go and see where Chris actually lives. Should be hilarious!
katk17 says
I agree- so rude!!! I wish somebody would have said something but those girls probably know that those that complain get the boot.
chamietellsthetruth says
I think you need to give Carly's extensions a name. And Whitney has a bad case of RBF!
Jersey Love says
Perfect recap! I'm dying laughing. Lol love the new # and was pumped mine was among the faves. Excited for the double header next week!
~Tiffany
Katherine @ Grass Stains says
I have to say that this was probably My All-Time Favorite Episode of The Bachelor. I MEAN. The material. Was. AMAZING. Can we all just agree on that for a hot second? Your recap was solid gold, as usual, too.
Cindy Gleason says

The Woodlands says
First off, I thought Megan was wearing YOGA PANTS! Apparently they are leggings which, as you so eloquently noted, are NOT pants. Ugh.
Also, the toast at the end with all of the remaining girls in the house "We are ALL immeasurably blessed!" was my absolute favorite moment of the season. #krazikardi is completely a psychopath, right?
Liz/ says
OMG, every week you do it better than the last…I just love you and your awesome recaps! I have to say that Monday night was some good tv, yes, totally crazy tv and why am I watching this tv but it was good! I LOVE your description of Kelsey and Ashley's outfits for the 2:1 date….hilarious! Ha and if you read Chris Harrison's blog post that he does each week, he even admitted to the fact that he had no idea who Samantha was….so funny! Like seriously, where in the heck did she come from and is she a mute?!! I hope you're up for the task of back to back episodes next week cause it sure wouldn't be the same without your recaps!
Sam says
Dying over the fishing seminar comment!! Too funny.
live compassionately says
Dying at the "fishing seminar at a local community college." Dying!
Anonymous says
You are hilarious! I loved when Chris went to leave in the chopper, it was so Christian Grey!
Kate says
I thought it was really inconsiderate of Chris to drag Britt off for their private concert. He was on a group date, not a one-on-one! I know we've been told numerous times that there are "no rules" this season, but that's no excuse for bad manners!
katk17 says
Totally lost respect for him.
Jenny says
Hahaha! I don't even watch the show, but I come here to read your recaps every week! So freakin hilarious!!!
Rebecca Jo says
I thought for sure you'd give a teaser into next week… Britt freaking the freak out… & Jade coming clean about those Playboy pictures. more greatness still to come 🙂
Unknown says
I love your recaps! Okay so I am going to throw something out there and by no means do I want to make light of the situation if it is real. I was starting to wonder if in fact #krazyinakardi's story was true. I've never met anyone who thinks that their husband passing is such a wonderful tragic love story. Maybe it's just me and maybe it's just because she's wacko!
Alice says
It is true. His name was Sanderson Poe and she wrote his obituary and the majority was about how awesome she was. I feel like maybe she killed him someway, somehow. She's wacko!!
Unknown says
Thanks for the info! I couldn't decide if it was appropriate to say somehow she did kill him! Maybe if was an unknown heart attack because she stressed him out so much!
Anonymous says
You had me laughing like a crazy person with your recap!!
Dani {Adventures of a Pharm Girl} says
Gah Shaeaffer you kill me! hahah. #virgininabottle was on Jimmy Kimmel and she said her 'secret' was putting her fingers right under her eyes to catch the tears before they fall lol. #shecray and so is Kelsey! even though it sucks that her hubby really did die 🙁 Love these recaps 🙂 Happy Wednesday friend!
Tre Lahman says
You seriously have the best recap ever!!!!! I die laughing every week when I read it!!! You are amazing!
Jenny Rackers says
I had to comment today because you are freaking hilarious!!!! Best recap ever! And I can say I knew you when?
Anonymous says
Hilarious recap! I really think it's a good thing so many of the girls are crazy because this Bachelor is a little boring. I don't know why so many of them think he's such a catch.
JennyMae says
Great recap like usual!!
Anonymous says
OMG!! You crack me up…IM laughing out loud and my 5 year old is looking at me like, "What's wrong with you?!" I think what got me the most was the fishing expedition seminar and the FLIP THE FREAK OUT! Hilarious!!!
Cami says
You are so hilarious. I do not watch this show but I cannot wait to read your recaps every week. I laugh out loud during every single one. I am a teacher and read one while my students were working and had to hold it in. I almost exploded…LOL! Thanks for sharing!
Katie says
Your bachelor comments are seriously hilarious. It is how we are all feeling!!! Thanks for the sale ideas, I added the long sleeve chambray shirt to my cart. Love it!
Anonymous says
Love your recaps! Always so hilarious! You have to check out Karashley (aka #virgininabottle) on Jimmy Kimmel if you haven't yet. It was pretty funny 🙂 She said she was super afraid when Kelsey gave her the look of death on the bed haha.
Hanging with the Hirsts says
Your recaps are to die for!! I have to try so hard not to bust out laughing! Definitely a highlight after watching the Bachelor 🙂
Dana Rosanelli says
I just love your Bachelor recaps – I don't watch the show but your comments are so funny – really brightens my day!
Jennifer G. says
"Carly is President, Whitney is VP, and Kaitlyn is Social Chair" LOL!!!
Marie says
You are so freaking funny, you make my Wed mornings at work so fun! When I watch this on Monday nights I always limagine what's going to be on your blog on Wed, I even showed my husband some things you say about the show he watches the show with me because I make him lol this was my favorite today:
And all I can think is that one of the camera men needs to warn Ashley.
I mean, somebody needs to quietly whisper in her ear that she needs to get the heck out of dodge.
Or maybe one should just scream "ASHLEY! RUN FOR THE HILLS!"
And I'm thinking that joining Witness Protection might not be the worst idea either.
Your the best thanks for all the laughs :)))
Jaren says
Loved this episode. I have to admit that I am so cheering for Becca now. I kind of got a little giddy watching them on their date, even though it was boring. She seems so classy and normal. Perfect for him.

LOVE Old Navy!
Because Shanna Said So says
The Bachelor what???? Nordstrom clearance sale yes….that's my love language!!
Anonymous says
I think Jimmy Kimmel needs to have you on after every episode to do these live on his show. I am serious. I know you probably need time to process it all but your recaps are the BEST and FUNNIEST I've ever read. Makes me want to be friends with you IRL. In fact, I have lost respect for Chris over this season. I do not like how he has treated the girls overall (Sean treated them all so respectfully) but I keep watching because I enjoy your recaps (and the crazy drama too!) I am constantly reminded each week also to teach my daughters thing like to have self respect and not take their clothes off or announce their virginity on national TV! Keep it up. This is why I keep coming back to your blog.
I really like Becca. Sometimes boring is good. Life is full of enough drama.
Kristin says
I haven't watched the Bachelor in years, but I love your recaps!!
And loved the sale post! I ordered the navy stripe sweater (hooray for tall sizes!) the hot pink belt and the Gap navy gingham shirt from a couple of weeks ago (which is marked down with a bonus 30% off) Gof all 3 for $62 with free shipping, Score!!! 🙂
Kylie Giancotti says
I just fell in love with you even more because if your NKOTB and #joeyforever mention. I will be at the concert in MAy!! ❤️❤️
Anonymous says
Yeah- Kim K's mascara didn't run because she isn't wearing any. Those are falsies– like the kind you buy at Party City around Halloween– either that or they are special-order-made-from-real-tarantula-leg-glue-on eyelashes. I can't tell.
Anonymous says
You never disappoint. Hilarious! Sorry about that missed opportunity :/ Have you tried out those suede wedges yet? I've been looking forward to your review.
kristinwithani says
Britt = Topanga + Kelly Kapowski If she's not Chris's, she will be the next Bachelorette. She has "the look".
Carrie says
Love the recap, as always. BUT, I was waiting for you to comment about how Chris left the 2:1 in a helicopter. Was that not the weirdest thing ever? He leaves these two crazies in the desert 500 feet apart as he flies overhead. What?! So weird! Was this ABC's way of showing them they are literally left in the dust? Girls and camera crew in the desert to pack up the bed.
BTW, I'm now team Becca. Nice, normal girl. I'm starting to not like Britt so much and I can't pinpoint t exactly why!
Brady Wilhelm says
Oh my gosh, I thought the same thing!! I can't believe he left them stranded in the hills! And I wonder if Ashley and Kelsey had to share a helicopter to leave also?!? Awwwwkard!
Melissa D. says
In Ashley's interview with Jimmy Kimmel she said that they took separate vans to their necessary locations (and it was a long trip). Thank goodness! That would have been torture!!
Kendra says
Your recaps never fail to make me laugh-snort! Which causes my hubby to give me a very confused side-eye for about 2 seconds until he realizes what I'm reading, because duh. Anyway – I love them and I appreciate the time you must put into them 🙂
Amy Kirshbaum says
Love old navy and the whole gap brand! So fun to win a gift card! Keeping fingers crossed for a little pre-Valentine's Day treat!
Sue near Austin says
I love your recaps. This was the best episode!!! My favorite scene was the gals' reaction to both Ashley AND Kelsey's suitcases being picked up: "Let's get drunk!" and their toast (mocking Kelsey!) about being "immeasurably blessed!" 🙂
FYI for those who doubt Kelsey's story (I did, and had to look it up!!!):
http://www.tulsaworld.com/archives/sanderson-patrick-poe/article_f94957f8-5a1e-5515-adbd-aed357b6f99f.html
Doesn't it seem that she must have written this obit???? Why else would it list HER accomplishments before HIS???? I wish I was kidding!! Weird.
Chic Coastal Living says
LOL! great review! I'm so glad he let both of those girls go. It was not entertaining watching her cry so much.
Chic Coastal Living says
On another note I know have a new country band I love! I just downloading that Lovin lately song they sang when Chris and Britt ran over to the concert! Great song!
Libby Gordon says
I truly thought we were going to see our first homicidal rage with #virgininabottle being the victim Monday night. I felt like jumping up on the couch and toasting with the girls too when Kelsey's suitcase was hauled away! Your recaps are the reason I started watching again…I cannot wait for the two episodes this week.
Mimi says
Ashley has got to be wearing lash extensions to be rubbing her eyes and crying as much as she did. I noticed she really wasn't wearing eye makeup, Girl came to this show prepared!
Kelly says
Oh Sheaffer. You.rock. Your recaps always make me laugh and I needed that this morning!!! I'm totally team Carly, but I read a spoiler and know who's in the final two. 🙁 and I are SO tired of Britts lipstick?????? And how she was wiping Chris's spit off her mouth in front of the girls after the big and rich concert? #stayclassy thanks for the morning giggles!!!
Melissa D. says
You have seriously made Wednesdays something to look forward to. Love the recap, the NKOTB references (#dannyforever) and the Nordstrom sale! Thanks for never disappointing!
Lynn {A Taste of Country} says
I read an article on Yahoo that said #krazyinakardi is moving to Paris to be a writer. I guess she realized her chances of finding love in the US are slim to none now!
Kara Barry says
Love your recaps! So funny!!! And as I am watching this weeks episode it occurs to me…Britt needs a nickname, maybe #whoneedsawholeshirt? #halfshirtbritt
Seriously how many does she own?
