Before we get to the Bachelor recap this week, I’ve partnered up with Nordstrom today to give y’all a quick look at my picks for the guys in our lives from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! You can click HERE to shop everything available for men, but I put a little collage together of some of my favorites. Pay special attention to the wrinkle free shirt, the chinos, and the awesome jeans in the collage below. I’ve read some great reviews about Mavi jeans, so please leave a comment if your guy owns a pair! Or, if you have other favorites for your guy that you purchase every year, please leave a comment. I’ve only purchased a couple of things for Chris so far this year (the boy doesn’t enjoy shopping for himself), and I’m interested in adding some other good staples to his closet!
checked shirt / pique knit polo / jacket / wrinkle free straight leg chinos / mavi jeans / blue half zip pullover/ loafer / sperry boat shoes / flip flops / belt / green half zip wool pullover

TIME FOR THE BACHELOR RECAP!
We ended last week with JoJo toiling over who she was going to send home. She initially thought it was going to be Luke, but after he pulled her aside at the rose ceremony and FINALLY said I Love You, she was confused. Personally, I started this week’s episode terrified she was going to be sending Chase home. I knew if she did I was going to be drinking extra wine and eating extra chocolate, because when he cries, I cry. Click HERE if you need to do some catching up before reading today’s recap.
This week we picked up in the airplane hanger right after Luke had taken JoJo aside to confess his love. She gathered herself together (after doing a lot of deep squats in her mermaid dress) and returned to the guys. Let’s have a quick review of my thoughts on the remaining suitors. I think Chase and Luke are genuine, sincere, and sweet. I think Jordan is just in it to win it and doesn’t like JoJo nearly as much as she likes him. And I’m not convinced that Robby wasn’t made by Mattel.
It was time to hand out the roses. She called Jordan’s name first. I mean, of course she did. If she wants to spend her life looking at that hair swoop, then that’s her business and not mine. The heart wants what it wants. But I can promise her that after several years of marriage, watching him try to attain that perfect swoop every morning will start to wear on her.
Next, she called Robby’s name.
And then I held my breath. WHO WAS SHE GOING TO CHOOSE? The ruggedly handsome cowboy or the sweet soul that loves and adores her. While on the edge of my seat, I did take a moment to notice that her boob game was strong. Those girls mean business. #theydontplay
It was time for the final rose, and she called Chase’s name. OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I fell in love with Chase last week and think he deserves to stay. BUT that meant Luke was going home. LUKE! Aw, shucks! I mean, sure I questioned him the week he wore camo skinnies, but overall he seemed like a great guy with a good head on his shoulders and I realllly liked him.
I was stunned. But do you know who was more stunned than I was? Luke. He was REELING. BEWILDERED. BUMFUZZLED. He said “You don’t want me anymore.”, and she replied with “No, it’s not that.” Wait, JoJo. Isn’t it EXACTLY that? While staring off into space, he said how he couldn’t process it. ME EITHER, LUKE. ME!!!!! EITHER!!!!!
JoJo dealt with her emotions by doing some more deep squats (#feeltheburn) and talking to herself. She wondered out loud “What if that was a mistake?” IT WAS JOJO!!!!!! IT WAS A MISTAKE!
But JoJo had to pull herself together quickly. I mean, there’s no time to cry over a lonesome cowboy when it’s time to get busy with 3 guys in fantasy suites. Next Stop: THAILAND. And I don’t know if y’all have heard this or not, but Thailand is the perfect place to fall in love. And get busy.
ROBBY’S DATE
Robby pulled up on the streets of Thailand, and I’m not sure why, but his hair started to actually make me angry. That’s right. I was feeling angry. About his hair. I’m fully aware this is ridiculous. I don’t understand it, but it’s how I feel. FOR THE LOVE, SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE HIM A NOOGIE! I’m hopeful one of the Fletcher brothers will step up and make this happen. Think about that for a minute. It would be EPIC.
They tasted some local fare, had some serious PDA, and when it started raining cats and dogs they ducked into a little place to get a pedicure. Something tells me this wasn’t Robby’s first rodeo pedicure.
They headed to dinner, he looked all sorts of Miami Vice in his white jeans and a blue blazer, and I spent a good amount of time trying to imagine my hubby in white jeans. #itwouldneverhappen #andimokaywiththat
Robby talked about the confusion surrounding the ex-girlfriend, he read a letter that his dad had written him (where he called him “the man”) that apparently proved to us that he loves JoJo (and not the ex-girlfriend), and then she handed him an invitation to the fantasy suite. Robby was PUMPED about the fantasy suite. He said “Now I don’t have to dream about Jojo, I get to dream with JoJo.” He also said he wanted to “get to know the Joelle that I want to spend the rest of my life with.” And he then went on to say “I want to be late for work because I don’t want to get out of bed with her and I want to come home early to to see her.”
Several things here Robby: 1) I thought the fact that you suddenly started calling her Joelle was a teensy bit creepy. 2) Do you know that just because you’re in the fantasy suite doesn’t mean that you are going to dream in unison? #thatsnothowdreamswork 3) The people at the competitive swimming corporate offices are not gong to be pleased with your work ethic.
Joelle (see? it’s creepy) told the cameras “I know I love Robby, and I know I’m ready to take that next step.” However, this contestant has learned her lesson and isn’t going to actually tell him that she loves him. #imlookingatyouben
The next morning, they were hanging out in bed. For the record, I will never get more comfortable with this scenario. 14 years in, and the oogie factor is still incredibly high for me. And she again told the camera that she is in love with Robby. When telling her goodbye, Robby said he wanted to see her sooner rather than later “por favor”. Does he think they speak Spanish in Thailand?
JORDAN’S DATE
They hiked together up some steep terrain (who else felt realllllly sorry for the camera crew?), and then headed to a temple. Apparently, there are strict rules they are supposed to abide by in the temple.
During dinner, they had a serious conversation. JoJo asked some very pointed questions, but Jordan wasn’t really able to answer any of them very well. He said, “I have a feeling when I’m with you. A feeling I’ve never had before.” But he told her this with ZERO emotion. He also said that he “doesn’t know what the next year is going to be like.” JoJo had a mild panic attack right here. I mean, she wanted him to say something along the lines of, “Well, after meeting Neil Lane in about a week or so, I hope to spend the rest of my life with you, have a big t.v. wedding, make little bachelor babies, and grow old together.” But he said nothing of the sort.
She offered him the fantasy suite, and he accepted it. #shocker After the crew was allowed into the room the next morning, Jordan basically said he had just had the best night of his life. #fistbumpjordan And it was here, when they started doing a little kissing, that I was reminded that I would like to respectfully ask the camera crew if they could TURN DOWN THE MIC SENSITIVITY when filming said kissing. My ears cannot un-hear the slurping. I was forever changed.
CHASE’S DATE
JoJo was walking around Thailand in a white bikini, white cut-offs, a pretty pink top, and a Kendra Scott necklace (in the anniversary sale). Our girls loves Kendra.
Chase pulled up on a moped and said he was ready to spend the day “in this magical place of Thailand and explore love”. They made out with a fish, took a boat ride, and it was obvious that Chase was falling more in love with every passing second. However, JoJo just looked like she was having a lot of fun with a bestie. I started getting worried for Chase.
Then they made out in the ocean. And I started to feel better that she wasn’t going to stomp on his heart. She started talking about how he brings her so much joy, and I was hopeful.
Now, between JoJo’s day date with Chase and their date that night, Robby showed up unexpectedly to again tell her how much he loved her. WE GET IT, Robby.
Little Miss JoJo has herself in quite a pickle.
At dinner that night, Chase accepted JoJo’s invite to the fantasy suite. He BARED HIS SOUL to her. He has NEVER told a girl that he loved her, but HE TOLD JOJO! Sadly, as soon as he got up the guts after 20 something years of NEVER saying it, he finally uttered the words…..and JoJo immediately excused herself. And a little piece of me died. She went right outside the room, sat on a bench, and I willed myself to not throw up while I grabbed the bag of TWIX out of the pantry. POOR CHASE! WHAHHHHH!!!!!
It seemed as if when Chase finally told her that he loved her, that was the exact moment when JoJo finally realized that she didn’t love him back. She said “I don’t know if spending this night together would change this feeling. And I almost feel like it would be unfair.” Y’all. It was sooooooooooooo awful. He used words like “skewered” and “shattered”. He was that 8 year old little boy that was confused by his parent’s divorce, and I felt like I should scoop him up, tell him everything was going to be okay, and rock him like a baby. He slammed his champagne, was TICKED as all get out, and JoJo seriously looked confused as to why he was upset. I do give her credit for not doing the big wiggle with him before sending him home, but her whimpering has GOT TO STOP.
On the way to the rejection van, a beer magically appeared in Chase’s hand, and I can only imagine that an intern saw the writing on the wall and had one waiting for him for his exit. #welldoneyoungintern While in the van, Chase ever so eloquently explained how he felt in that exact moment. It wasn’t flowerly, but it was descriptive. He waxed poetic that it was like she “pulled my pants down and kick me in the nuts.” #wellsaid
ROSE CEREMONY
Jordan arrived, and then Robby arrived. And we all wondered if they had texted each other to coordinate their outfits.
JoJo came around the corner. The guys were confused. Where was Chase? JoJo started explaining to them how she had sent Chase home. As she was telling the guys, Chase casually waltzed down the stairs as if he had left his keys or something.
JoJo and Chase went to talk, and Chase apologized for his behavior when she let him go. He said he loved her, respected her, and was proud of her. WHATEVER. He was just wanting to get it out there that if it didn’t work out with the other two guys, that he was there and more than willing to pick up right where they let off. Not a bad idea Chase…because I’m betting that she picks Jordan and that it won’t work out. #igiveit6monthsmax
Back by the rose pedestal, the guys were wiping their brows, trying to figure out what the frack was going on with Chase, and doing their best to not have a heat stroke. JoJo went back, gave them roses, and that was that. All I could focus on was her necklace. I found this super similar one HERE.
I’m dying to know what everybody thinks! Does everybody think she’s picking Jordan…..or are some of you now convinced that Robby is her man? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
And don’t forget that you can link up with Shay and Mel for What’s Up Wednesday! Just hop on over to one of their blogs to see what they are up to this fine Wednesday!
Shelley says
Your recaps are why I get up early on Wednesdays. These guys are disappointing and not what I think of as “men”. Hair swoop, skinny capris and no jobs..?? Good luck JoJo!!????. Thanks for the laughs Sheaffer!
Kelly Davis says
Amen! My daughter and I literally laughed hysterically at the skinny capris, (as in, we kept rewinding it and watching it again) and the fact that both finalists jobs consist of being “formerly athletes”. She knows how to pick ’em!
Amy says
Same exact thought ladies. She let the 2 nicest, most genuine (with real jobs) guys go….and is left with 2 pretty boy former athletes. UGH!
Erika Slaughter says
Made by Mattel?? ???????????????? I think she’s picking Jordan, but…I’m kind of a Jordan fan. Eek! I know!
Kathy says
She sent the wrong two men home and kept the wrong two! I can’t believe she doesn’t see how shallow Jordan is? ????
I haven’t been a loyal watcher but after watching the men tell all episode, she had numerous wonderful choices, can’t believe the two she got with everything she said no to, oh ya, that’s why she is single!!!!
Also, something tells me she didn’t get a proposal for rose ceremony. She was not a lit up I’m sooo in love with the man of my dreams face!
Shay Shull says
So, I’m one of the weird ones that really loves Jordan. I hope she picks him ;).
Helen Truesdale says
I love Jordan too! (I really liked Luke, but don’t think he was exciting enough for her). Jordan and JoJo seem to be so relaxed around each other! #teamjordanandjojo
chris says
I agree that she sent the wrong two home (the only two that there would have been a chance for long term success with). Of the two left, Jordan is THE WORST. And I’m sure she will pick him. Well, she’ll find out sooner rather than later. Also, Robby could go into work late and leave early for Jojo….IF HE HAD A JOB. (I love your ‘corporate swim office” comment!!)
Riley says
Cracking up about your feelings regarding Robby. ????????????
I like Jordan, and hope she picks him. But I think they’ll have a rocky future. My heart broke when Luke got sent home. ????????????
Kate says
She appears to only be interested in “former” athletes with hair. Personally I’m the opposite. I need a man with a career. It has been a weird season. I don’t think she’s into either of them. She lacks substance as a person, needs constant affirmation and will most likely remain single for a while. Ben dodged a bullet.
Stephanie Jennings says
Hysterical, as always. Of the two, I like Robbie better, but I think she will pick Jordan. Why???? Yes, 6 months max. I vote Luke for the next bachelor, no???? Did you see the clip of JoJo’s brothers next week? Good stuff ????????????
Jamie says
Seriously-I’m dying. Mattel -bahaha! I couldn’t put my finger on it but that’s it! I am in a deep depression over Luke. And really Chase for that matter. Robby worships her but I have a strange (typical bachelor) feeling that she picks Jordan. Good Luck with that. She won’t even get a Super Bowl ticket out of it. Love, Love, Love your recaps!
Narci Dreffs says
Oh my goodness! Made by Mattel!! Too funny, friend!! I love it all!!
Kim says
She is picking Jordan and had her mind on him since day 1. What a fool. It’s quite obvious he has other intentions for being there and I agree…most.shallow.man.ever. Chase and Luke were the best picks but good for them for being sent home as they deserve someone far better. I am guessing Luke will be the next bachelor as he is a hopeless romantic and Chase is just too normal for tv.
Nancy Belfeld says
I don’t remember the exact wording Luke used, but he did say JoJo pretty much always knew it would be Jordan at the end because she knew prior to filming that he was going to be on the show. I think she made huge mistakes getting rid of James Taylor,Chase and Luke. I don’t think she’s going to get her happy ever after with either of the two remaining. I would love to see Luke as the bachelor (or James Taylor, or Chase)! Love your recaps–in fact, I couldn’t start work this morning until I read it! Can’t wait to read your recap on Men Tell All–or as Jimmy said, maybe it’s called “Mental All”!
Jessica says
Praying for the next girl Chase dates and when she wonders why he can’t open up his feelings or say I love you. #ThanksJoJo
The fantasy suites creep me out, too! Her father is watching!! Ugh!
I’m sure she picks Jordan and it’s over in no time. Luke was the best choice and she let him go – which explains perfectly why she is still single. Bless her heart!
Kara says
What about Jordan’s pants at the rose ceremony? I think I have the same pair of crop pant chinos from Gap. 🙂
Elizabeth says
My exact thoughts! My daughter and I were rolling! She messed up letting Chase go, but she seems a little shallow all concerned about the “chemistry.”
April Parrish says
I’m seriously laughing so hard this morning!!! I’m still super bummed about Luke going home! It’s going to be very interesting next week.
Have a great day!
Keeley says
I thought for sure you would have to mention Jordan’s almost man capris at the rose ceremony. He was ready to go wading in a creek after the ceremony!!
I love your recaps????
Leah Garry says
I’ve thought Jordan all along. Those two seemed to have an instant connection. But the more episodes in, the more I get the feeling she will go with Robbie. Which to me is ew gross yuck! Really both of them don’t seem like marriage material.
My husband ordered 3 pair of Mavi jeans! They are coming tomorrow. I will report back on fit and look. Price is great on the anniversary sale.
He got these shoes and loves them – http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/1901-kyle-longwing-men/4289522?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=TAN%20LEATHER
Affordable. Look great with both denim and dress pants + have a fun orange sole that makes them a little unique! Ran TTS.
Jody says
Jordan! Love your recaps!!
Jackie T. says
I really like JoJo, I think she’s sincere, intelligent and accomplished, however…I don’t understand why this young woman at 24, maybe now 25, is so desperate to find “the one” and get married! C’mon chica, you’ve got the REST OF YOUR LIFE to be married…enjoy your career, be your own woman, explore and discover, don’t rush things!
That being said, Luke and Chase are wonderful men but just not dynamic enough for her. I think she is the girl that still wants the quarterback…
Rebecca says
I find it ironic that the last 2 men standing appear to NOT be gainfully employed….”former competitive swimmer” and “former nfl player” do not jobs make! Unless, of course (as you mentioned last season) the guy who tag lines professions is suddenly taking some liberties….as I did notice last night during Men Tell All that she also had a “Canadian” and a “bachelor super fan” in the pool. What the heck?! Between the fashion and the lack of ambition I would take a big PASS on finding true love on The Bachelor these days!!
Tracy says
Love this necklace!!!

shar y says
Your recaps are the reason I watch this show. And, your hashtags are spot on! Thanks for the entertainment! I am not a fan of either of her remaining choices. She has already sent the best ones packing. Probably will be Jordan, but that won’t work. Imagine going through all of this only to come out with a short term romance?
Lauren Baxt says
I LOVE your recaps – they are amazing, so thank you! She is absolutely picking Jordan and it will not last. Agree with you that he is not there for the right reasons. Made by Mattel is perfection!
Gina says
Love your recaps! My heart broke for Luke and Chase. Jojo has made a huge mistake sending them home. I’m hoping she rejects any proposal made (if there is one) as she would not be happy for long with either Robby or Jordan. I had a brother in law that used to have his hair “perfect” all the time and it was so hard to not give him a noogie whenever I saw him. I know exactly what you meant when you said “his hair made you angry”. Love the “made by Mattel” comment!!
I’m hoping James Taylor is the next Batchelor. Or maybe Wells or Nick. Hated how they gave Chad so much air time on The Men Tell All. I’m sure he will be the main attraction on Paradise too. ????
Jenny says
Your recaps are great!
I got Jon a few things from the sale. He is a Joe’s Jean guy and they had The Rebel style on sale. SCORE!! Have a great day!
Kathi Mackintosh says
Sheaffer, you consistently make me laugh out loud when I’m supposed to be working. I love your observations, and no one can beat your hashtags. I’ve also incorporated “the big wiggle” into my regular vocabulary. 😉
Casey says
Definitely think she will choose Jordan. It won’t last with him! Luke was my favorite!
Lisa says
Yes it’s a Wonderful Wednesday with your recap! Sounds like your little slice of “the Nation” is all in agreement. Luke would be a great Bachelor with his personality, looks, brains, values and loving heart. I think all of America wants to squeeze Chase. He deserves the very best. Praying that happens. He seems to shy for the Bachelor. Gosh and James Taylor, was a sweetie. He was playing at a little bar in College Station. Wishing him the very best too! I agree that she will pick Jordan. He is so cute but seems so fake. Maybe he will shock us all and turn out legit. When will you recap “mental”?
Sabrina says
She kept saying how she wanted to love Chase but couldn’t…personally, I feel like Robbie interrupting the date with Chase threw things for a loop. She was already struggling with loving 2 guys at once, and I think she just put up a wall that wouldn’t let her go for 3. I feel like she was really heartbroken to send Chase home–she kept saying she had feelings for him but couldn’t understand why she didn’t fall in love with him. SHE WOULDN’T LET HERSELF (my personal opinion)!!! She’s so worried about making a mistake and spends so much time trying to figure out if it’s going to work out and what kind of regret she will have if it doesn’t…love doesn’t work that way…you gotta take the risk and go for it. haha. So stressful!!!
Jenny Null says
I got my husband these shoes last week at the sale and he really likes them. He hasn’t worn them out of the house but they looked so good with jeans and shorts and I think you could even wear them with a pair of khaki or navy pants. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sperry-gold-cup-ltt-sneaker-men/4019829?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=TAN%20LEATHER
diane jones says
Could be the way it was edited, but I think JoJoelle changed her mind about Luke once she went down on the farm. City-girl might like dressing the part with cowboy boots and cut-offs but she is cityized and blinded by what she thinks her future “should” look like instead of letting true love happen. Whoever Luke ends up with is one blessed woman . I adored his family and homeplace, too. (But, I am happily married and twice his age.)
Shelley says
The ONLY way I am ok with Jo Jo letting Chase go is if she did that so he can date her BFF Becca (wouldn’t Becca and Chase be PERFECT together)!!! I am not a Jordan fan at all. I have a feeling his “issues” with his brother Aaron is only for publicity and we will see them magically repair their broken relationship as soon as the Bachelorette is over. And, I think I own and wear the same outfit Robby wore on his date with Jo Jo :/
Claire says
I really liked JoJo up until the past couple of weeks. I don’t like the fact that she required every guy to tell her they loved her and then she would decide if she loved them back. Only to break most of their hearts. THEN she wants them to console her?! Seriously, the whole hug me and console me after I break up with you thing is a really jerk move by her. She will pick Jordan and it’s a huge mistake. That dude is only all about himself and his hair. Also, the skinny khakis with thong sandals? No Jordan.
Shawnee says
I so agree with you on everything you just said! I don’t like Robby either. I think they are both in it for their 15 min of fame.
Monica says
Oh my goodness! I couldn’t have said it better myself! That has been the most annoying part to watch. Tell me you love me…now buh-bye! She has turned the wrong corner these last couple of weeks!
BrandiL says
I said they same when I was catching up last night! She wants to be consoled after breaking up with them. Come on. Breaking up is always hard but let’s not be so selfish about it.
Amy Calvo says
Wonder if Robby’s hair moved when they wiggled??? Cant. Stand. Robby! He is so calculated. Nothing genuine about the guy. And good for Jordan for saying he doesn’t know where he will be in a year. Why lie? He could have said this is where I would like to be but at least he didn’t say what she wanted to hear just to say it!
Patty says
I don’t know what I look more forward to…..a night of watching Bachelorette or your recap!
Jordan doesn’t seem like he’s ready and Robbie seems sincere if his hair didn’t look so plastic! I felt Chase really fell for her!
kp says
I really like Jordan. I’ve been a fan since the beginning – sometimes I wonder if he’s not sincere… but I’m optimistic.
As for Jordan’s hair and clothing style – I love it!! I know I might be the minority but it’s exactly how a lot of trendy young men are dressing right now. My brother has the same haircut and skinny jeans are my fav!!!
I’m only in my 20’s and usually I LOVE shaeffer’s outfit recommendations – but I can’t get on board with the men choices in this post. Besides the jacket I wouldn’t buy any of those for my husband… way too “old”
Elaine A. says
Agreed, Jordan’s style is trendy…but probably only in select regions of the country. We moved from VA to Cali recently and my teenage son was told by ‘someone in the know’ that he should change his style before moving out here. Gone is the classic Vineyard Vines….he now fits right in with his surfer, beach style attire. I have to say I am getting used to it, but still prefer the classic look…especially on the 20 something’s.
Stephanie says
#thatsnothowdreamswork ROFL.. can’t. stop. laughing. this was my favorite recap to date!!
Michelle Russell says
Poor Chase and Luke! They were favs of mine. Real sincere guys. I’m NOT liking Jordan (too shallow, seems immature) or Robby (too Ken-esque, he kind of creeps me out) (but he does seem to love her) (but REALLY? Love? It’s only been a few dates!)
Laci Murray says
I wanted to puke when she sent Chase home!!! Why JoJo? WHY??? At this point please just pick Jordan and put us all out of our misery!! Chase for Bachelor!!!!
cassie {hi sugarplum} says
I LOLd at grabbing the bag of Twix from the pantry!! Seeing that pic of her snuggled up in the bed ‘the morning after’ makes me all kinds of uncomfortable!!! Loved the recap!!
Sara says
Oh I hate Jordan and I think JoJo suspects he is not sincere, too, but wants to hope that he is. All this “tell me you love me” crap seems so superficial. It seems like she is really taking these dudes at face value/what they say without considering that they have to actually know her well enough to fall in love with her, too. I mean, the fact that Luke hadn’t said it yet shows me that he is serious about the process. Anyone can just say “I love you”- the words don’t mean anything if the relationship isn’t backing it up. I think she’ll choose Jordan because she is star struck but I doubt it will work out. I don’t think this guy is in a place where he wants to get married right now- and why should he be!?
Kelli says
This was the best recap EVER! I am dying over “The people at the competitive swimming corporate offices are not gong to be pleased with your work ethic.” comment. I thought the same thing when Robby said that. I think she picks Jordan but all I can say about either of them is just…eww.
Slmat says
OK, Stop… The Big Wiggle ???????????? you kill me with your words !!!! She’s going to pick Jordan ????. And Robbie does in fact look like he was made by Mattel. You are hysterical, keep it coming !!!
Stacy says
You and I had the exact same thoughts on this episode! Somebody PLEASE for the love of everything holy MESS up Robby’s hair! Also what grown man goes by the name Robby?
Obviously Jojo likes pretty boys not Manly men!
Brady W. says
I think she’ll WANT to pick Jordan but because he hasn’t reassured her enough, she’ll pick Robby. It seems like Robby “loves” her (aka: is obsessed with her), but something about him rubs me wrong–like he’ll end up being one of those controlling boyfriends that won’t let her breathe without him by her side.
I’m hoping Chase is the next bachelor–i LOVED him!
Kelly says
OK Schaeffer! ! You are so frieken funny that I had to stop reading your post midway to laugh, laugh, laugh and go straight to these “Comments” just to tell you how funny you are and how Spot-on you are! I wish you would do a video of some of these recaps cuz I think you could be a stand up comedian. You got it all going on and we can’t help but adore you! #schaefferrocks
Kelly says
Ok. I’m back now that I finished reading your entire recap. Just hilarious. I agree with everything you have to say. And I do think that Joe Joe is going to choose Jordan. And my second thought is that Jojo is basing her decision mostly on looks and for some reason she seems to like fake “girly-men”. I mean getting a pedicure with Robby is revolting . Gag
Cathy says
I’m guessing she chooses Jordan (ick!), but she did not have happiness in her eyes when Chris Harrison asked her if she is happy now at the Men Tell All show. She should have chosen James Taylor!
Julie says
I texted the exact same thoughts about the guys!! She let the wrong two go!! LOVE Luke!! So sweet and sincere and sexy!! Chase was super sincere too. Not feeling it from Jordan AT ALL. She blew it big time!!
Aimee says
Maybe she’ll pull a Jason Mesnik (sp?) and pick one…and then do the switch at the After the Final Rose…or bring Luke back. Who knows. Stay tuned, for the most dramatic season of the Bachelorette!
Jaclyn Lorimer says
I feel like lately, I fall in love with a guy, I feel like JoJo’s falling for him too (or should be) and then she kicks him to the curb. James Taylor, Luke, Chase….all seem way more like marriage material than Jock Jordan or Ken-doll Robby. That being said, now that she’s got it down to these two, I really hope she goes with Robby. He’s always at least seemed like he would be committed to a girl. Jordan gives off a cheater vibe IMHO. I hope I’m wrong about him but we shall see!
P.S. I had that exact same thought about Robby’s work ethic! I was like, dude if you aren’t currently employed you are seriously hurting your chances with any employer who watches this show!
XO, Jaclyn
Sarah says
Awesome recap! You crack me up and are so spot on. You say what I’m thinking, but in the funniest ways. Keep it up ????
Believe it or not, Jordan is actually growing on me and I think too that he is the one she picks.
Carrie Gilstrap says
Jojo reveled he was by her picks. Luke was far away the best guy; accomplished, kind, good background, etc. Luke was by far the best guy there!! Si all I could think is that she doesn’t pair with that kind of quality. So maybe it’s best for like to move on!
I’m guessing she picks Robby. Remember her worst fear is that she won’t be loved in return and she’s said over and over there’s something about him that makes her nervous. And I seem to recall a preview where she’s literally heartbroken after letting someone go. I bet that’s Jordan.
Valerie says
I think Jo Jo said in an interview that she’s had trouble in the past always choosing the “bad boy” type. Well, I don’t think she’s learned a thing unfortunately. My 13 year old son watched for 5 minutes the other night and the first thing he said is “boy, he’s cocky”–talking about Jordan. I feel like Luke might be the next bachelor. Love your recaps, Sheaffer!
Mindy Skoglund says
Was anyone else a little unsure of Chase’s sincerity at the end? I think he had a night to process and did not want to end things on a bad note. I also think there is a chance the producers encouraged it. They need Chase and Luke to look good and have fans so they can pick a popular bachelor. I do believe she would have been happier if she’d picked Chase or Luke.
Jenny says
She totally picked the wrong 2. She should have kept either Chase or Luke. Personally, Luke was my favorite. Good thing she’s not picking for me. 😉

Sheaffer, I.am. dying. Your recaps are the best!! Robby is totally made by Mattel. Jordan’s hair is ridiculous. All the skinny jeans this season…I just can’t. I’ll say what I’ve said since Episode 1. She ends up alone. Once I saw her do the talk show circuit, she seemed unhappy. Anyway, who’s going to be the next Bachelor?? My vote is for Chase but I think it’ll be Luke.

I ordered my husband the MAVI jeans at the opening of the sale. he just got around to trying them on and loved them. They have a little stretch to them in the waist band and he loved that. they look very nice on him.

Great Recap! Corporate Swim Office-Love it! Booty Pants-Love it! Stop your whimpering-Great! When are you going to do one with the “Men Tell All?”

Jordan’s pants at the rose ceremony… there’s no way he bought those anywhere other than the women’s section! And Robby’s pants weren’t much better! Can’t say I’m impressed with either of these guys. Their swoopy hair and questionable clothing choices are only the tip of the iceberg.

I saw one other person with the same thoughts as me about JoJo and Luke. She is too citi-fied. Now that she has a taste of LA, no way she is going to the country to settle down. I like her a whole lot and think she is gorgeous but I think whether she realizes it or not, she is still looking for a good time. I don’t blame her at that age!
Leanne says
I have followed your blog for a couple of years but have never commented before! I just love reading your posts and look forward to each one! That said, I have never watched the batchelor except for snippets as i change the channels, but hands down the fantasy suite concept is just plain skanky!! There, I said it! Nobody would think that was okay in “the real world”, right, or am I stuck in 1900?
Kristin S says
OK, time to define “oogie factor”. I have no idea what that means.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kristin! It’s just being totally weirded out by having fantasy dates one after another! Ew! 😉
Elle says
I was thinking the same thing, hoping that *some* time had passed between the dates. *shudder*
Alison H. says
Yes! Robby gets more plastic each episode….
I think she picks Jordan and I hope it lasts. I fear he is in it for fame and exposure. I pray I’m wrong.
Luke was my fav! My heart breaks for Luke and Chase. I bet one of them is the next Bachelor. I kind of felt like a producer may have talked to Chase and told him to smooth it over….it would look good for the next bachelor pick.
Jojo looked like my “Peaches and Cream” Barbie from 1985 in the proposal preview. She looked gorgeous!
I can’t wait for Bachelor in Paradise!! It looks like a hot mess of drama!
Jen says
I’ve always been #teamchase – I think he’s cute, funny, and normal. i don’t think Jordan or Robby are long haul material and I feel like she said the exact same thing to both of them the morning after (on camera–who knows what else was said of course!) “it’s our first breakfast in bed together” or something like that. I really like jojo and hope she finds love and a guy that commits to her.
I love watching the show and thinking “oooh- I bet Sheaffer will comment on that!” Like the synchronized brow wiping! Do you think the guys stand there thinking about how the other one just did the wiggle with their girl?!?! I could NEVER be on this show– I’m not usually jealous but sharing a guy would drive me bananas!!!
Elle says
I’m a bit tardy to this party but have been reading your recaps for a while. We think so similarly!! Just little observations I made I didn’t think other people noticed 😀 especially the “por favor” comment in Thailand! I actually corrected him out loud! And Jojo’s awkward “seriously, Jordan…no clue?!” chuckle to Jordan’s reply. I concurred. I was on board with Luke’s – poor Luke! – and Chase’s reactions. It was fair. But, of course, Jojo started her “crying” to gain sympathy as always (IMO). And YES to the color coordination of Robby and Jordan..and then Chase comes out ALSO coordinated!! That was too much. Not on board with either of the two that are left (I was Team Luke) but IFIHAVETOCHOOSE, I guess Robby. And even then, I’m cringing when I say it. Thank you for doing the recaps…love ’em!
Sanna says
Great recap, as always, but for the love of grammar, please change “Me either!!” To “Me neither”.
