Happy Thursday, y’all! Congratulations, you’ve almost made it to the weekend!
Did you see yesterday’s post? In Part 1 of this week’s Bachelor recap, we met and fell in love with this lady. #shesdownwithlove #andsoami #iloveher
If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, you need to click HERE to see how hometowns went with Caelynn and Hannah.
Today’s recap is all about Tayshia’s and Cassie’s hometown dates!
TAYSHIA’S HOMETOWN
WHERE: Santa Ana , California
WHO WAS THERE: Mom, Dad, older brother, and younger brother
Colton met Tayshia in the great wide open, and then she promptly Bird Boxed him.
And then ducked him into the car like a popo.
He said, “I’ve never drove in a car with you.” First of all, you’ve never “ridden” in a car with her. But I have to say, when he first said it I heard “I’ve never DROVEN a car with you.” Like, I thought he was making up words. But he said “drove in”. #whew
They hopped in the car, she took off down the road….correction, she took off down the realllllllly bumpy road. And she DROVEN his head right into the window. HARD.
I feared that he might have a mild concussion.
Look at their faces. That was right after his skull bounced off the window like a rubber ball.
They arrived at their destination, the blindfolds came off, and Colton realized that they were going to go skydiving.
And for the next 20 minutes, he had to concentrate on not puking. THE BOY WAS TERRIFIED. You made her bungee jump, dude. #paybackisaB
Right before he jumped out of the airplane, Colton did a voice over asking God to let him live because he hadn’t had sex yet and he heard it was pretty great. Yes, he really did say that. I thought it was awesome and hysterical. #deargoditsmecolton
And I have to say, I have NEVER wanted to sky dive before, BUT OHEMGEEEEE it looked fun! I mean, with the music! And the smiles! To be clear, I never will, but dang it looked fun! I did find myself wondering why the instructors had helmets on, but not Colton or Tayshia.
Then they shared some I Love Yous after they didn’t die. #notdyingistotallyromantic
After they didn’t die, they went to Tayshia’s house for an intimate gathering with mom, dad, and her two brothers.
Tayshia went off with mama, and Colton went off with dear ol’ dad.
Her mom shared how she didn’t want to see her hurt again, like she was after the divorce. Tayshia assured her mom that Colton was very different. She was happy to see Tayshia so happy, but she knew dad was going to be a different story.
Tayshia’s dad was a tough nut to crack. Colton said “I’m falling in love with her.” And dad was basically like, that’s nice, but are you having these types of conversations with the other girls? And Colton was like “kinda”. Colton said “I only want to be engaged once and I only want to be married once.”
And then Colton did the whole “IF….THEN…” spill that he did with both Caelynn and Hannah’s dads. You know….IF I still like her in a couple of weeks and don’t like anybody more than I like her, THEN can I have your blessing in my back pocket just in case?
This took dad aback. And he said, “I just met you. You know what I mean. I need to make sure it’s the right thing. So straight up, I think you’re a good guy. But obviously I want to protect her. I appreciate the talk.”
“I appreciate the talk” killed me. I lol’d. Loud.
He was all, NO. You may not have my blessing. Boy who I just met 3 minutes ago.
Colton characterized the conversation as disappointing.
Then Colton sat down with the older brother. And then older brother was a hard sell as well. Fyi, he’s a law enforcement officer and warned Colton he will hunt him down if he hurts his baby sister. It was said in a good natured and completely non-psychotic way. #goodtimes
Then Tayshia sat down with dad. He said “He seems like a nice guy, but I meet a lot of nice guys.” PREACH!
“Is this really truly where your heart wants you to be?” She said “I don’t think so, I KNOW so.” Then he asked her what she would say if he asked her to marry him, and when she said she would say “Yes”, he threw his head back in a moment of disbelief.
And then he had a mic drop moment. Dear ol’ dad said, “You don’t microwave relationships.”
STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW.
This is genius level information boiled down into an easy to understand phrase.
IRON THAT ON A T-SHIRT!
NEEDLEPOINT THAT ON A PILLOW!
TATTOO THAT ON YOUR HINEY!
Then the happy couple sat down with mom and dad, and dad ended up giving his blessing. He said he was confident Colton was genuine and sincere and said he trusted Tayshia.
TAYSHIA’S DAD! You just microwaved your blessing.
Personally, I wished he would have held his ground a little big longer. But I also started thinking how I didn’t remember ever having a dad that didn’t give his blessing. Maybe it’s just Bachelor protocol, y’all. #readthefineprint
*****************************************************
CASSIE’S HOMETOWN
WHERE: Huntington Beach, California
WHO WAS THERE: Mom, Dad, at least 1 sister, and all of Barbie’s friends
The happy couple met on the beach, and Colton grabbed her tush just like he always does. They’ve got chemistry, there’s no denying it.
It’s like they’re Surfer Ken and Bikini Barbie.
After the tush grabbing, they went surfing together. Correction, Cassie went surfing and Colton went falling. He fell a lot.
After “surfing”, they were sitting on the beach and talking. Colton said “You know where I’m at. I’m still trying to figure out where you’re at.”
FIRST OF ALL, DON’T END A SENTENCE in “AT”. Second of all, Cassie was not willing to say the “L” word at this time. There was what seemed like at least 27 hours of silence….and then she said “ummmmmmmmm” a couple of times and then said “I don’t know. Like, I know how I feel, but I just wanna like be sure.” Well, thank you for being so clear, Cassie.
Time to meet the family!
My first impression of Cassie’s family? It’s like we had just walked into Barbie’s dream house. Seriously, the girls were all GORG. That’s her sister on the left in purple (who we will henceforth refer to as Skipper), I believe an aunt in the black, and that’s the mom in the light blue blouse. See? PRETTY.
Dad was approaching the whole thing with lots of questions. When asked during a 1:1 interview how he felt about Colton, he responded with, “Um, I don’t know. He seemed like a guy.” Y’ALL! He seemed like a …….GUY. I died. THE PARENTS ARE KILLING IT WITH THEIR 1 LINERS TONIGHT.
Skipper pulled Cassie aside first, and she talked about how she thinks that Cassie is perfect and how she wants Cassie’s guy to be perfect too.
Well, that should be doable.
Skipper, Skipper, Skipper. This isn’t the Mattel factory. This is real life. Perfection doesn’t exist.
Wait. That’s not true. I stand corrected. Skipper’s face is in fact dang near perfect.
Colton sat down with the mom, and he had to be pleased with what his future would look like with Cassie. He told her that he feels strongly for her daughter, but she hadn’t share those feelings with him yet. Mom seemed to like him just fine. I loved mom’s top and found a similar one HERE.
And then Cassie had some time with her dad. I would not say that it went well.
The dad shared his extremely valid and super serious concerns with her (in a calm and loving way), and she reacted like a 16 year old. At one point she even said “Oh my gosh! I’m not dumb.” while simultaneously rolling her eyes. #becauseSIXTEEN
I started questioning her readiness for a grown up endeavor. YOU KNOW. LIKE MARRIAGE.
The time with the family ended with Colton and the dad. And he did NOT give his blessing. He said it would be “premature”. SO I THINK THIS WAS A FIRST? You know Tayshia’s dad was giving him the slow clap and wishing he’d held out as well.
When Colton tried to press Cassie for a bit at the end of their time for her to share her feelings, she said, “I want to be like 100% confident in anything I say to you. And um………I don’t want it to be over.”
So no only did she not say “I love you.” She didn’t even say “I’m FALLING in love with you”, which is of course a go to on this show.
So, for those keeping score…the other 3 have said it. But not Cassie.
To be clear, I’m fine with that! I’m just not sure if Colton is.
*****************************************************
THE ROSE CEREMONY
He gave a rose to Hannah.
He gave a rose to Tayshia.
And then Caelynn looked at Cassie and said “This is bull$#IT.” That Caelynn has a dirty little mouth.
It was between Caelynn and Cassie! Who was it going to be?
Well……Cassie got the final rose.
Which meant that Miss North Carolina was 3rd runner up, y’all.
And on her way out, she whispered “Get engaged” in Cassie’s ear. HUH? I need to know the motivation behind this statement.
Colton sat on the bench with the 3rd runner up and said “I don’t even know what to say.” She said she was totally blindsided, and that she felt stupid and like an idiot. I felt a tiny bit annoyed for some reason, but Colton hugged her and comforted her. And you could tell that he felt terrible.
When Colton walked back to the ladies, he immediately took Harrison aside and said he had to ask him a question. I have a question for Harrison too. HOW IN THE WORLD IS COLTON SUPPOSED TO HANDLE THESE FANTASY SUITES? I mean, he’s not going to go from never sleeping with anybody to sleeping with 3 people. I mean, HE BETTER NOT. But seriously, y’all. How in the world is he going to navigate the overnight dates?
*****************************************************
AND Y’ALL. THEN CAME THE PREVIEWS.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET REAL.
And I have questions. Lots of questions.
I want to know what exactly made Colton look this scary.
I want to know why Cassie is crying.
I want to know why Hannah looks legitimately concerned/terrified.
I want to know WHO THE HECK THIS IS that Colton is hugging WHILE CRYING.
I want to know what kind of conditioning you have to do to jump a 10 foot wall IN A SINGLE BOUND.
I want to know why these girls are making these faces at The Women Tell All. What could inspire such shock and awe?
And I want to know why Colton is crying at The Women Tell All. WHO is making him cry? And what in the world could he be crying about?
WHAT. IS. HAPPENING.
SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.
Sound off in the comments y’all! Who do you think he’s going to choose (no spoilers please if you actually know). And throw out a theory for why everybody is so upset!

**********************************************************
That’s it for today, y’all! See you back here tomorrow for an awesome READER QUESTIONS post!
Shay Shull says
You should be a professional “meme maker”. They’re my favorite part of these recaps!
Julie Connelly says
I’m guessing Colton is crying over Cassie. I don’t know why tho!!!! Maybe he found something out about her OR maybe she “just isn’t there” with her feelings???? And that’s also why I think he jumps the fence…Cassie. I bet that girl he’s hugging is either a family member or good friend that’s been called in to talk to him. Those are all my guesses 🙂
Sheaffer says
All good guesses, Julie!!!!
Mackenzie Omlor says
You’re really, really funny! I love laughing with my morning coffee- Thanks!
Kandy smith says
Does she look like someone on the Bachelor?
IMG_0883.PNG
Sheaffer says
Hey, Kandy! I don’t think images will post in comments. So sorry!
Kandy says
That site with the embroidered things you posted, one of the models on some of the other dresses on that site looks exactly like Hannah! Is she a model?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kandy! Yes, it is Hannah! That’s why I did the collage in honor of Hannah!!!! 🙂
Kandy says
Oh sheesh
Nicola says
The only reason I watch the bachelor is because of your recaps!! Awesome job making me laugh!! ?
Jill says
Oh my goodness, Cassie’s dad is the voice of reason in this whole show! I’m worried Cassie is going to break Colton’s heart. Her hometown did NOT go well, but he gave her the rose. That says he has major feelings for her. I totally agree that she acted like a 16 year old! I’m worried she won’t be able to get ready in 2 episodes (or whatever there is left). I can’t wait to hear why Colton pulled Harrison aside!
Narci says
Soooo funny, friend! And, yes, Cassie’s genetics are crazy good! Her mama is beautiful!
Beth Miller says
Yep, next week is going to be GOOD! Colton is not thinking with his head, and thinking with something else (ahem)!
Emily Colon says
I love your recaps, especially your memes! But omg, you missed Hannah rapping at the end! And her step dad gave you some more meme material! So funny!
Shannon McConnell says
Love your recaps! Surprised you did not comment on Hannah’s rap that showed after the previews! Actually made me like her more?
Sheaffer says
Me too, Shannon!
Heidi says
The microwave comment killed me! The Bachelor – microwaving relationships since 2002.
Sheaffer says
YES! LOL!!!!!!
J says
I guess the women in Cassie’s family don’t read the blog to get information about the best undergarments since none of them appear to be wearing any.
Erika Slaughter says
Remember how while watching the Winter Olympics we decided it’d be so nice to watch average ordinary people attempt to tackle the half pipe because the professionals make it look so easy? Well, I’d love to see some regular ole Joes attempt that wall jump. Colton makes it look too easy but an episode of people like you and me attempting that would be hysterical. ?????
Sheaffer says
Erika, that is hysterical! YES! His execution is flawless, but can you imagine us? I would slam into that thing like 6 inches off the ground!!! hahahaha!
Kara says
OMG! I am laughing hysterically to this comment-thank you!
Valerie says
I was thinking that it is Colton’s mom that he is hugging. Or could it be Aly Raisman the Olympic gymnast he used to date that showed up to talk to him?
Jean Turcotte says
I must be the only woman in America that doesn’t watch The Bachelor. But honestly, I don’t need to when I can read your hilarious summaries! I look forward to them every week.
Laci says
I think at this point the only girl who he likes enough to make him scale a wall or cry like a baby is Cassie. Is it Monday yet? The people need to know!
Addison says
Your recap this morning was especially good! You had me laughing out loud at work. Too funny! Monday night cannot come soon enough!
Wendy Crawford says
Goodness gracious, I couldn’t wait to read your recaps. I thought several times during the episode, “Oh Sheaffer is going to have fun with this episode because of the one liners!”
I loved the parents this year!
Terra L Heck says
Colton is so caught up in Cassie that he’s thinking with the wrong head.
Susan Matthews says
So Caelynn’s departure totally confused me. Why tell Cassie to “get engaged” (which indicates she obviously knows or senses something) and then cry in the limo that she was “blindsided.” None of it made sense to me.
Kelley Edwards says
I agree – this really bothered me. It felt like she just viewed it as a competition, and wanted to be the winner, and if she couldn’t win, she hope Cassie does.
Shelly says
This morning over breakfast , I asked my husband if he wanted me to read your recap aloud like I always do. And then I stopped and said “even though we aren’t caught up “ ( I have been out of town and missed the last episode ). He promptly replied with big eyes “ oh! I am all caught up. Read it!” Hahahaha. Throughout the reading he would add in his thoughts – so funny! And then at the end where you referred to us as ladies he said- “and gentlemen…. “ under his breath. Hahahahahahah he loves your recaps too!
Sheaffer says
I love this, Shelly! Thanks for sharing! And yes….AND GENTLEMEN! 🙂 xoxo
Leah R says
Someone spoiled it for me (ugh!)…and trust me it is about to get GOOD!!
I agree with you…what was up with Caelynn saying “get engaged”???? So bizarre! Those two (Cassie and Caelynn) are definitely treating it like its a competition!
I think Colton definitely wants Cassie because she is playing extremelyyyy hard to get…even if it’s not on purpose!
Julianne says
They’re all crying because he ended his sentence with the word “at”. I’m sorry, but no sir! Huge no-no!! ?
I love you’re weekly recaps!! You are hilarious! Also, I’ve been reading but who won the giveaway for your friend’s line at Nordstrom (Cassie)?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Julianne! Thanks for the sweet words! The winner’s name is slipping my mind right now (I think it was Bethany), but I e-mailed her directly and she already claimed her prize! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Marina says
I think Cassie decides to leave and he loses it. He’s really into her. The lady with black hair Colton is hugging could be his mom? I’m so excited for the final two episodes! This might actually be the most dramatic finale ever!
Lynn Duncan says
Colton hitting the windshield is on him. We have seatbelt laws here.
Skydiving definitely not in Santa Ana, CA. I live in the next city to the west, 3 miles from the edge
And Huntington Beach is south and west of me.. They really were at the beach there.
Another great recap!!!!
And so the drama continues..
Mel says
Does Hannah’s mom remind anyone else of Dustin Hoffman’s character in the movie Tootsie? Y’all may be too young to have seen the movie, but check it out!
Sheaffer says
Yes, Mel! I LOVED that movie!!!!!!!!! Others have said it as well!
Gloria Heinze says
I also think Cassie is the reason for his tears and frustration.
Tell you what though, I have to back up a tiny bit to Hannah’s hometown when one of her friends asked if Colton’s virginity scared her. Really?!
Um hello friend sitting there at the end of the couch, I would classify scary as serial killer, STD carrier, terrorist, big ugly hairy spiders.
#thingsthatarereallyscary
?
Love you Sheaffer, you are hilarious!
Sierra says
The skydiving was in Lake Elsinore, So he was Bird boxed for at least an hour and a half, Probably more with traffic. Also, did you know that Cassie’s sister is a semi known actress? She’s also dating an actor I’ve seen on tv but can’t place him without googling. Such a beautiful little Barbie family!
Sheaffer says
OOOOOH! Good scoop, Sierra!!!!
Kat says
I don’t even watch the show anymore, but I still read your recaps because I think we are best friends who have never met…But I’ll be in McKinney this weekend. Tacos and guac? 🙂
And they didn’t wear helmets while skydiving because as the tandem jumper, your helmet could knock out the actual instructor who knows what he’s doing. I asked the same question when I went skydiving.
Sheaffer says
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That makes sense, Kat! And I’m totally sure we would be besties if we met. 🙂 xoxo
Lanna Leonard says
Love reading your recaps!
First- I think next week is gonna be awesome bring your dinner to the tv
I think he’s crying over Cassie- I don’t think she’s ready to be married.
Don’t forget the next scene is a girl in a red long sleeve in the car- is that Hannah G going home ? She wore red and I watched it 6 times. Love my DVR
Girl hugging has got to be a close friend! Please don’t let it be Tia!!!!
Brooke Richardson says
I think Cassie is now a red flag but I think Colton is the most smitten with her. I just don’t think Cassie is ready or will be anytime soon.
Paul says
Colton kept her despite no expression of love yet. If it doesn’t work with her, it’s because he ignired what she said. Just like he ended up ignoring her lie when two girls accused her of not being serious.
Sande Wier says
You are so clever and I’m guessing these posts take quite some time to put together, so a huge thank you for entertaining us each week! My favorite two lines…”Bird Boxed him” and “Tattoo that on your hiney” – oh my goodness, those are so good!
Who is the mystery girl that he’s hugging? Don’t think it’s his mom (after stalking her on Google, her hair isn’t that long). Also, I didn’t know he used to date Aly Raisman! Can’t wait to watch next week!
Gardner Story says
Your recaps have me seriously laughing out loud. Hannah’s mom and Taisha’s dad should meet, I feel like they’d enjoy each others company. I hope we see both of their memes for many recaps to come! I’ve been thinking Hannah B. is going to win this whole time, but if he’s keeping Cassie knowing he doesn’t know if she’ll get there, then I’m wondering if he’ll change his mind. They clearly have the most chemistry, but I think she’s immature. Who do you want to be the next Bachelorette?
Katie says
This had me laughing for a solid 3 minutes!! Wonderful recap as always!!
Amy says
Did you know that Cassie has actually been on another reality show (recently) called “Young Once”? It follows a bunch of Biola University college students. Google it!
Sheaffer says
Yes! I’d heard that, Amy!
Kim says
1) I totally thought he said “I’ve never DROVEN in a car with you.” I’m so glad you clarified. Still not great, but better than droven!
2) I definitely think the tears and fence jump are something about Cassie.
3) Girl with the dark hair he’s hugging could be his mom, or maybe even a producer. A couple of them have dark hair, and I always hear how close the leads get to their producers because they are with them constantly.
4) I actually thought Caelynn’s comments to Cassie on exiting were sweet – like she didn’t hold it against her and still wanted the best for her friend. Like “if it can’t be me, I hope it’s you.” Now, it’s a little weird to think about saying that to a friend in normal life, but in this weird situation, I think it just showed their friendship.
Nancy says
I think the preview for next week show Colton crying because he’s no longer a virgin and he’s just realized the girl he lost his virginity to still isn’t sure she loves him. Cassie’s crying because she’s taken Colton’s virginity but knows she’s not ready to commit to him, and she can’t find the keys to her Barbie Jeep to get back to the beach. Hannah looks worried because she’s wondering if she’s going to have a turn since Colton’s so upset (remember….she shared that she’s horny). And Tashaya? I think she wised up and decided she didn’t enjoy the microwave as much as she thought, so she’s off to look for a crockpot.
LOVE your recaps!! Thanks so much for the fun, I’ll miss them when the season ends in a couple of weeks.?
Sheaffer says
NANCY! This is a SOLID theory!!!!!!!
Paul says
I also wonder if Colton will handle the fantasy suites just like most of his predecessors, namely by bedding them all down one at a time. The bachelors who did that, before dumping two of their sex partners, avoided condemnation. Should the same.standard, or lack thereof, be applied to Colton?
Elaine says
I love all of your recaps equally #likemykids, but if pressed, this one might be my favorite! LOL funny and spot on!
I think the woman in the green jacket that Colton is hugging is a producer… which makes me even crazier with wondering what happened to make him cry like that and to have a producer step in to give comfort?!
Thanks for your effort on these!
Julee says
Reading your recap while watching a horrible webinar at work, and it was so good! I laughed out loud several times. It was the comic relief I needed to survive the torture of this training!
Juli McGuire says
The microwave comment should go down in Bachelor history! Classic!
Beth Knecht says
Is it Monday already?! I’m really agreeing with a lot of the other ladies. I feel like Cassie shares some information to make him JUMP! I have no idea who he actually chooses, but he seems so smitten by Cassie that I feel the other 2 relationships would have to move leaps and bounds in the next two episodes to make him consider choosing them over Cassie…even if she still doesn’t confess her love for him!
Laura says
Ok. So I love love love your recaps!!! They are awesome!!! And you are awesome!!! So I totally cheated and read spoilers after Monday’s episode. All i have to say is OMGGGGGEEEEE. ? I can’t wait to watch!!! It’s going to be awesome!!!
Cathy says
I am so glad you addressed him using the word “at” at the end of a sentence. Completely unacceptable! ? One of my peeves!
Kelly says
Omg so glad I’m not the only one who thought we walked into Barbies dream house on Cassie’s hometown – lotsa plastic or at least Botox I think tho!
Laura Fletcher says
I was so hoping for a comment at the last rose ceremony when Cassie and Miss North Carolina held hands when they were the final two with one rose left…total Miss America pageant style!
Calypso in the Country says
I always look forward to your recaps! Love the parent quotes, love Hanna’s mom…so many fun things to comment on! I was also kind of surprised Colton wasn’t more emotional saying goodbye to Caelynn after remembering how emotional he was when he broke up with Tia in Paradise. Maybe he is just emotionally worn out at this point. Can’t wait for the fence jumping episode…It better be the most dramatic fence jumping ever after this long wait!
Cheers!
Shelley
Kathi Mackintosh says
Sheaffer,
Thanks again for the hysterical recaps! This past summer, my daughter and I got in the habit of her reading them aloud to me and we would have so much fun laughing together. She’s at college and I texted her this week telling her she needed to come home so we could read your recaps together again. #besthashtagsever #nevergettiredofgenieinabottle’sreactionface
Sheaffer says
Awwwww! I love this, Kathi!!!! Thanks for sharing! xoxo
Meredith says
I was liking Cassie this whole time but with how she talked to her dad, being 23, and all I’m thinking maybe she isn’t ready? OR maybe she is just super cautious with saying I’m falling in love bc she does take it seriously and really wants to be sure. But she does seem super anxious constantly which makes me question if she’s ready for a commitment. I think Colton is big time into her. And I think something must happen with cassie leaving bc she’s not ready or not into him but another part of me feels like she does really like him. I’m so confused. Lol
I love Desmond!!! I like the way he thinks and articulates himself. Also wish he would have held out giving his blessing. I think Cassie’s dad is legit too. They have valid reasons for questioning this whole ridiculous process. Lol
Not too crazy about Caelynn. I just dont buy what she says about feeling in love with Colton. It was weird her telling Cassie to get engaged.
I’m eager to see what happens next week!
Lisa says
Could the girl he’s hugging be Becca coming back to give him advice?
Sheila says
Ok first of all I don’t know why but the most hilarious thing to me was when you referred to Cassie’s sister as “Skipper “. ??
But also I don’t agree when you said you could tell Colton was visibly upset saying goodbye to Caelyn. He said absolutely NOTHING to her!!! I was screaming at the tv for him to at least say SOMETHING!
Anyway, love your recaps. They make me laugh. I have read the spoilers so I know the outcome but am curious to see how it all plays out.
