So its been a busy week for the DC Bachelor Fans but since we disappointed all our fans last week without a post, I thought it might behoove us to keep everyone on their toes and add a couple more thoughts to our previous musings. Plus, I've had about three glasses of wine while watching the horrible auditions on American Idol and everyone knows I'm much more clever with a little Pinot Noir running through my veins. (However, this also means our readers need to excuse any typos!)
I'd like to take a moment to paint the picture for our readers of what it is really like to watch an episode with our crew, which ranges between 5-10 viewers, depending on work and grad school schedules. This past Monday, we showed up to NotCrazyEnough's home around 8pm, where the amazing technology of DVR had already started recording our show. We opened 3 bottles of wine, put out the spread (which this week consisted of gouda cheese and green apples, pita chips and hummus, and broccoli and carrots with ranch dip), and caught up on our weekend gossip. Around 8:30pm, we finally started our watching. Generally, we need to pause on a scene anywhere between 6-8 times per episode to capture some of the amazing footage you see within our blog. Thank goodness for camera phones!
I'll walk you through a couple of extra special scenes that caught our attention (and made us giggle) this week.
1. Vienna and Jake's date moves to the pool: Vienna walks out in her bikini, which to our surprise has ruffles on the butt. We gasp at its lack of sophistication. One fan remarks, "The bathing suit is a little...(pause)...wait, let me get the word...(pause)...Sears. Yeah, Sears." My apologies to anyone who shops at Sears.
2. The camera man zooms in on Kathryn during the group date and I am surpisingly reminded of Michelle Tanner from Full House (not today's Mary Kate and Ashley). I hope we're not dating ourselves. However, instead of mocking me for the ridiculousness of this comparison, our group spends the next 3 minutes trying to remember the tag line that Michelle used to always say. With the help of Google, we figure it out and resume our watching. Want to know what it is? You got it, Dude.

3. Ella and Jake head to Sea World for their special 1-on-1 date. Shocker, ABC decides to fly Ella's little boy in for the event. Thank goodness the kid loves aviation. Favorite line? Ella saying she wants to be just like Trista and Ryan. I hate to break it to you sweetheart but Trista wasn't a divorcee, she didn't have kids before coming on the show, and her hair didn't turn into Monica's vacation hair (sorry, another Friends reference) at the first sight of Shamu in the water tank.
Finally, after about 2 hours, we finish watching the show. We gasp at the "scenes from next week", and we discuss our predictions for the craziness to come. We gulp the rest of our wine (there might have been another bottle or 2 opened in the interim) and safely head home -- we believe in public transport and designated drivers. Until next week...
