The Bachelorette

He spent so much time building up the anticipation for the first kiss and then she decided it wasn’t good enough and dumped him. That’s priceless. He’s like “Aw damn, not again.”

Bachelorette expert and Canadian import, Andrée H. is ready to send some of these contestants home–maybe in the back of an ambulance. I can’t disagree.

As I’m watching Chad in the woods with whoever this guy is on the two-on-one date, it does occur to me that if JoJo got in a relationship with him, he might take her to a cabin with a bunker and hold her hostage there until she said she loves him and will never leave.

It’s the most dramatic conclusion of the most shocking season of The Bachelorette. Special contributor Andrée H., editor-at-large Geri and I held a virtual Bachelorette party as we found out how Kaitlyn Bristowe ends her amazing journey with Shawn Booth and Nick Viall and if Chris Harrison will ever stop using hyperbole. Let’s go!

Special contributor Andrée H. is a proud member of “Bachelor Nation,” which means she holds The Bachelorette to a high standard and takes things seriously, more seriously than Kaitlyn, if you ask me. This season’s “Men Tell All” episode fell short of Andrée’s expectations. To be honest, I was disappointed that no fistfights erupted. There was one genuinely significant moment, TVRD gives Kaitlyn side-eye, but some of her critics have taken their dislike to alarming proportions as you’ll see. In any case, here is what Andrée has to say.

So, here’s what happened, I got lured back into watching The Bachelorette and I needed someone to discuss it with. Despite her better judgement, Geri gave in because we go way back. The caveat is that she gets to send me hostile e-mails and messages after the episode. That’s just piling on to the shame I feel, but there it is. In any case, here are stream-of-consciousness thoughts from editor-at-large, Geri.

Some viewers, and by that I mean editor-at-large Geri M. and myself, mock The Bachelorette, but TVRD’s special contributor Andrée H. has her own take on it. Andrée genuinely likes The Bachelorette and raises a perfectly arched eyebrow when it does meet high expectations. Seriously, though, the woman has some phenomenal eyebrows. Think Liz Taylor back in the day. In any case, Andrée recaps for the right reasons.
