First and foremost, poor Chris Harrison. When he has to deal with these Women Tell All episodes, our hearts break for him. He has to corral and shush the rage-filled rejected contestants. The ladies attack each other and cry more than we wish to see. But, without tears, it wouldn’t be The Bachelor. One side thought, Chris probably could use a haircut.
The episode had a little Bachelor Pad reveal, which we’re looking forward too – the chemistry on Bachelor Pad is so much different than The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. It lets us see the contestants we grew to love and some of the wild cards.
There was an initial argument about Michelle and her behavior, especially that of the confessionals. A lot of the women felt that she had two sides and was different behind their backs. She brought on some tears and was yelled at quite a bit. Both Ashley H. and Madison defended Michelle.
Melissa and Raichel’s drama was brought to life as well. There was a recap of their fighting and then they both addressed the issues at hand. Raichel accused Melissa of being frantic and chaotic. They both blamed each other for being let go by Brad, but really it doesn’t seem like Brad was too heartbroken about either of them leaving. Both Jackie and Ashley S. noted that the point was to not act a fool in front of a guy. It’s not attractive to the guy or anyone. Well said Jackie and Ashley S., we couldn’t agree more.
Next in the hot seat was Michelle. She was timid and cried a lot. More tears that we wished to see actually. Chris Harrison tried to handle the situation with Michelle as best he could, but she was nothing but dramatic. She constantly repeated that she went on the show for the right reasons. She sobbed and sobbed while she was attacked by some of the ladies. Chris even whistled at the ladies to try to get them to calm down. It was a little ridiculous and dramatized even for our taste. Michelle calmed herself during a commercial break and then tried to convince the ladies that her comments were not improper and that she is a great mom.
We hate to say it, but Michelle looked awful after she cried her concealer off. The bags under her eyes were intensely awful. She continued to argue with the girls while Chris Harrison tried to fight for silence, so that Michelle could talk.
In the end, Michelle admitted that while she thought what she and Brad had was unique, after watching the show, it really wasn’t that unique. She said she wanted Emily to be the final one, and that Emily was a good match for Brad.
Ashley S. was next up in the hot seat. We really admire her poise. We think she would make a great Bachelorette in the future. Ashley was so calm even though she was uniquely vulnerable at the same time. It doesn’t hurt that she’s pretty stunning also.
Ashley H., the most recent woman cut, was next up in the hot seat. We’ve got to be honest, we think that her darker hair and bangs wasn’t the most attractive look for her. She looked drastically older and almost like she was trying to look that different. Her harsh red lips didn’t help her case. They showed a review of her moments throughout the season. Ashley H. discussed her defensive behavior towards the end of the season. Chris Harrison said he was sad for her, and Ashley really noted that her behavior caused the situation to end differently. She really talked about her regret. Ashley really said that she was ready to date and move on. We’re not sure we want her to be The Bachelorette. She’d probably be a little dull and not as exuberant as the Bachelorettes we have come to love (Ali, Gillian, and everyone’s favorite Trista!).
Brad was out next to discuss the conversations that Chris Harrison had had with the ladies. He remarked that Ashley H. looked awesome and she apologized for her behavior. We’re not sure they would have ever worked out as they spent so much time questioning things. Ashley S. didn’t have enough confidence.
There was a cute clip of the charitable work that Brad and Chris did while they were in South Africa. They helped the Henna School and donated a solar powered water heater. It was a nice tribute that Brad and Chris did.
We saw a fun highlight reel that included a naked man! It was funny, for certain. One of the funniest things in Bachelor history. The naked man was just strolling in Johannesburg with his socks and sneakers on. Another gem of the highlight reel was Melissa drinking a glass of wine using her foot to hold it. We had never seen such. Has anyone else ever seen this or tried it for that matter?
Lastly, we got to take a deeper look into the journeys that Emily and Chantal had leading to next week’s finale. While there is a clear connection between Chantal and Brad, we are very hopeful he picks Emily. His connection with Emily is so much deeper. We really are looking forward to the finale.
Who do you think Brad will pick? We would ask do you think he will pick anyone, but Brad referenced his significant other during tonight’s Women Tell All. What do you think of the drama that went down during the Women Tell All? Do you like Ashley’s new look? Anyone Brad should have picked instead of Chantal and Emily?
Next week will be exciting!
