THE BACHELORETTE MEN TELL ALL EPISODE RECAP TIME!
If you missed last week’s recap, you need to go check it out now. It will be worth your time, even if all you pick up are pointers on how to properly run, jump, and straddle your man.
Also, if you’ve been reading for awhile, you might remember that Shay and I actually went to a Men Tell All episode taping years ago for Kaitlyn’s season. And as you can see, I had a prime seat directly behind our host! Click HERE to see my recap of the show we attended.
Before the men even got on stage this week, they showed an extended preview of Bachelor in Paradise and OHHHHHHHHHHEMMMMMMMMMMMMMWOWWWWWWWWW. Y’all. I’m not quite sure I’ve ever seen anything like it. Lots AND lots of man tears and crazy amounts of drama. Like, it very well might be THE MOST DRAMATIC BACHELOR IN PARADISE SEASON EVER. #youhearditherefirst
I’ve had some questions already, and I’m sorry to report that I won’t be covering it with recaps. I have a busy end of summer and fall, so I’m just not going to be able to make the recaps happen. Maybe I can share thoughts here and there, but I won’t have full posts dedicated to the show. So sorry!
THE MEN TELL ALL
The men were introduced, and right off the bat it was evident that Grocery Joe and Jason were MUCH BELOVED. I feel you, studio audience. I FEEL YOU.
After the introductions, they aired a pretty long recap of the highlights of the season. And you know what? It was even more stupid at times than I remembered. I guess I must have blacked part of it out as some sort of coping mechanism.
So, in the interest of time AND MY SANITY, I’m just going to do my own personal highlight reel of the show. Some general musings, if you will.
MUSING #1:
Jason got a haircut, and it seemed he was a bit more conservative when applying the Dippity Do. And I was a fan. #lessismore
MUSING #2:
David’s eyebrows were aggressive.
MUSING #3:
Jordan looks at himself like you want others to look at you. With love and adoration.
MUSING #4:
As always happens at a Men Tell All show, there were a couple of guys there that I could not have identified in a line up.
Jake? WHO?
Kamil? HUH? #neverseenhim
MUSING #5:
Grocery Joe was adorably awkward. Or maybe he was awkwardly adorable. Scratch that. He was just adorably adorable.
MUSING #6:
Several times during the 2 hour episode, Jordan went totally wheels off. He definitely got the most air time of anybody, and the boy was WHACK. He talked about mice and elephants, Lambohrghinis and rolling down windows, Cap’n Crunch and orange juice, having fun in cardboard boxes, building condos in people’s heads, and paving roads. At one point he even said “I should have wore a work vest.” #youmeanworn #youshouldhaveWORNaworkvest #whateverthatmeans
MUSING #7:
It was like this Men Tell All was Jason’s personal audition tape to be the next Bachelor, and I’ve gotta say, I think he nailed it. He made it clear that he loved Becca and was broken hearted, and he cried genuine tears…but he went on to say that he wished her the best and hoped they could be friends. He even hopped out of his chair and said “Gimme a hug.” And then he sealed the deal with an air kiss and an “I love you, mom”. Yep. #NAILED IT #WELLPLAYED #jasonforbachelor
MUSING #8:
I prefer a man in a simple black or navy suit with pants that cover his ankles, with shoes that are a classic brown or black, and a respectable pair of socks.
MUSING #9:
If I never hear about Colton’s virginity ever again, it will be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too soon.
MUSING #10:
This girl eating her hair was EVERYTHING. This girl was me. This girl was you. This girl was ALL OF US.
MUSING #11:
Harrison always spends 90% of The Men Tell All episodes looking like the cat that ate the canary. My goodness he enjoys himself on these shows.
And he is SO PROUD of the blooper reel every year.
MUSING #12:
When Becca arrived, she looked gorgeous. And happy. And perfectly glowy. I think Jason’s mom must have shared a skin secret or two with her back in Buffalo. I’m still hoping this is one of her secrets (since I recently scored one for myself)!
That’s all for today. Leave your thoughts on The Bachelorette Men Tell All episode in the comments! Do you love Jason’s new do as much as I do? Did Colton kind of turn you off like he did me (I think he could have handled himself way better). Do you like it when men wear short and tight pants and no socks? I’m dying to know.
See you back here on Friday, ladies!
Erika Slaughter says
We were discussing this episode atthe hair salon yesterday and they were all big fans of Colton. You-not so much??
Sheaffer says
I liked him until this week! I didn’t think he handled himself well on The Men Tell All. xoxo
Kim says
I could not agree more! As he was going back and forth with some of the guys, I said I liked him fine on the show but he’s changing my mind right now.
Amy says
I loved him on the show! But then he came out all aggressive in The Men Tell All. THEN, he went down about 20 notches in my opinion after he signed up for Bachelor in Paradise… 🙁 Ugh. The Bachelor is fun but I think BIP is trashy. Although my husband would argue that it’s all trashy! 😛
Emily says
Yep! He was cute all season but I got a trying-too-hard feeling on the MTA. Jason was truly sweet but it seemed like Colton was trying to be sweet too and it came off insincere. Not looking forward to all of his crying in paradise.
Amanda says
Jason is adorbs!! Agree about Colton…I’m not a fan. #jasonforbachelor
Shay Shull says
I so enjoy your general musings 🙂 .
Susan Jeffries says
You nailed it!! Jason for Bachelor. My daughter and I both LOVE Colton, but he needs to own his choices and be proud of them. My daughter though his tears made him more lovable. I thought he needed to man up. Be proud of saving yourself Dude. Some girl’s mother is going to love you(: We haven’t had time to watch the final episode. Thanks for the fun recaps!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Susan! Yes, I feel like he needs to own his virginity, but it was the way he responded to the other guys in the house that made me like him a lot less on The Men Tell All. I thought he came off as a hot head! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kelley says
Yeessss!!! I totally agree!! I’ve always been a big Colton fan until this week.
Gina says
Love Jason! Sure hope he’s the next Bachelor. I could not believe how much air time Jordan got…..he is so full of himself. Those outfits most the men were wearing were so bad. That one guy you pointed out needed a red cape and a bull! He looked just like a matador! Did you see “Clark Kent’s” outfit? Those white slippers and the smoking jacket! He forgot his ascot tho. ? That preview of BIP was way too long. I’m sure it recapped the entire season and by the time it airs it’ll be imbedded in our brains as they rehash everything way too much in these shows. I totally understand you not doing BIP recaps……have you done them in the past? Loved the stats John (? Venmo Guy) was rattling off about Jordan’s Tinder hits…..Jason couldn’t keep a straight face!
Marie says
Musing #10… LMAO!!!!!! How did I not see that??? #Jasonforthenextbachelor
Jennifer Willoughby says
I thought they gave too much of the spotlight to Jordan. We all know he’s wheels off crazy, and we didn’t need that much footage to seal the deal. Love love love Colton! He’s totally adorable! #jasonforbachelor
Sheaffer says
I liked him too (until last night), but I didn’t love all of the cussing last night! I felt like he should have been more mature about how he handled things. Maybe I’m being too critical? I guess everybody has their breaking point! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Susann says
I agree! Colton showed a very real side to himself that was not classy or mature at all. Just like he did that night Jordan wore the gold underwear. He went way overboard that time, too, IMO. He’s got issues.
Jennifer says
Yeah he did lose a little too much on MTE. I listened to a podcast yesterday that was interviewing Jason and he said he (Jason) was punching/punching/
Elbowing Colton during his meltdowns and told him to let it go. Again #jasonforbachelor ?
Shelley says
Yes! Jason nailed it for next Bachelor! The “Gimme a hug” comment was perfect and he looked better than ever. They would have to be insane to cast anyone else! While Jason’s mom is sharing skincare secrets, she also needs to write a book on how to raise a son. My boys are 12 and 14 and would love some pointers from someone who obviously knows what she is doing. Great recap again!
Shelley
Heather says
I haven’t gotten a chance to watch the whole episode but wanted to tell you that A) I LOVE your recaps and B) #jasonforbachelor (and not just because I’m from Buffalo too haha)
Jody says
Same. I liked Colton until this week. Short and tight pants and no socks ?? You’re musings are the best!
Angela Ellingson says
Same, to everything! Jason for Bachelor! He’s by far my favorite! I think Colton tanked any chance he had by being so aggressive. All of the crazy outfits were so unattractive. Clearly they were doing whatever they possibly could to stand out!
Paula says
I think Colton’s main interest is how much time Colton can spend on TV. I’m not sure he’s ready to settle down and give up his virginity yet! ? Jason does seem sincere – and they sure gave him the opportunity to look good on the MTA! I’m wishy-washy about him as the Bachelor – thinking about touching his hair squicks me out. ?
As for their clothes, I think it’s great guys have more choices than blue or gray suits these days! Well except for the guy in the capri pants suit!
Priscilla says
I LOVE Jason! Does it drive you crazy when so many, including Becca, use improper grammar? Using AT at the end of their sentences drives me bananas. Come on people. Learn how to speak.
Mary V says
I just love your recaps, and agree with you 100%! You nailed the musings. Thanks for bringing some reality to what seemed like a hot mess!!
Anna Jones says
I am SO glad to see Jason’s new do!! He could even go a little further with it in my opinion, ha. But I think I’m definitely turning into a #JasonforBachelor fan. I was such a big Colton fan til this week, too!! So disappointed in the way he handled himself. Came across immature and abrasive.. and I’m really hoping it’s just cause he was psyched up thinking he was gonna have to defend himself all night!
Beth says
I mean, yes, Jason for Bachelor…unless we can get Peter!! Then, Jason who???
Carolyn says
Jason makes me cringe for some reason. I can’t put my finger on it.
I think it would be TV GOLD if Jordan was the Bachelor!!! ????
Chris T says
HAHA to your recap Sheaffer! Definitely Jason for president! I mean bachelor (he is supercute and has a head on his shoulders). Colton? Nah, I am afraid that all they would talk about is his virginity if he were bachelor.
-and the cropped pants with bare ankles? I thought that was OUR look!!
Lynn Duncan says
I think Colton is there for air time. And he and Tia were on BIP.. so I hear. Colton was involved with gymnast Aly Raisman for months, mostly long distance.. So this wasn’t his first brush with came seeking.
Too much time was spent on Jean Blanc.
The apology quartet was the highlight for me.
Rhonda Coleman says
I love your comments ?❤️ I’m thinking Grocery Joe would be a fabulous Bachelor!!! I’m over Jason, Colton and the entire Becca season and ready for a different vibe. Grocery Joe would have a whole new spin and a fresh face. He is adorably adorable!!
Natalie says
I think my new standard response to the ‘what do you do for a living’ question is going to be that I am a social media participant (musing #4).
Am still cracking up about that one all these paragraphs and comments later. 🙂 haha!
Michelle says
Waaaaaaaaay to many guys without socks!! And yes, Jordan got more air time than he deserved. I want Jason to be the next bachelor too!! He seems like such a great guy. Bachelor in Paradise is going to be hilarious with all the wackadoodles on the show!!
Meg says
Is the Glowpro microneedling set you linked an anniversary sale item? I can’t tell since it says it’s sold out.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Meg! Yes, it was from the Anniversary Sale. So bummed it’s sold out. Keep checking for returns! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Erin says
I wanted to love Colton because he is from a town very close to me (originally he’s from Illinois) but man I just cannot. You’re a virgin. We get it. The WORLD gets it, but for the love stop crying about it and find something else to talk about! I think he’s boring and I cannot watch an entire season of him talking about being a virgin so I really hope they don’t pull a Nick and make him the Bachelor after his time in Paradise. And I CAN NOT with those man crop pants. What is that??? I like Jason, but I’m still hoping they pull Peter back in and make him the Bachelor!
Brooke Richardson says
The eyebrow comment was hilarious. I didn’t notice but I’m so glad you pointed it out. Lol!
Val says
LOVE your recaps! Sad that you aren’t doing BIP mostly because that way I can skip the show altogether!
I wasn’t a fan of the man-fashion either but I was a HUGE fan of what Wills said about it! Be a peacock and own it-wear what you love and feel comfortable in!
Also Jason ❤️ for the next bachelor!
Paige says
I thought the whole show was painful. Like, I think it’s time to end the tell all shows. I liked Colton and thought he should be the next bachelor but he ruined those chances with his comments and aggressiveness. Loved your musings, as always!
Amy says
I adore Jason and hope he will be the next bachelor.
I have disliked Colton throughout this entire season.
Are short pants on men actually on trend?
Robin Osborne says
Kamil is a social media participant? That’s an occupation now? Blue collar job, white collar? Does a person need a degree for that? Geez, *huge eye roll* I must be getting old.
Alicia says
I, too, noticed Jason’s mom’s skin and today I was listening to the Almost Famous podcast that Ashley I and Ben H host, and they interview Jason and ask him about his skincare routine. He talks about how he steals his mom’s regime. So great!
Juliana says
Everyone should listen to this weeks episode of Ben and Ashley I’s almost famous podcast. Jason was the guest and very well spoken. I think he would make a good bachelor. He gives some insight to the MTA and why Colton seemed a little aggressive.
Denise says
Did anyone find it strange that she wasn’t asked whether she was in love? Or maybe I missed it. But Chris never asked her if she had found the one.
Susann says
I totally wondered that, too!
Meredith says
First of all, yes to #jasonasbachelor alllll the way!!! And yes I love his new hair too. Sweetest guy ever!
I do not get the lack of socks and the high pant leg?? I was wondering if it was a new trend I know nothing about.
I don’t care for Colton at all. Why are they
still talking about his virginity??
Jordan is a hot mess. He got way too much air time.
I also wondered why Jason didn’t get to go up and sit next to her when they talked. They always bring up the person who was dumped last to have an interview. I guess his departure wasn’t as heart broken enough??
Love your recaps!! Keep em coming! 😉
