Well, at least she didn't have to pay for them. Matt: It's been a long time since I cried. Me: Naw, I don't think so.

Matt to Michelle: I don't want you to think this was a flip of a switch. Me: That's because you never intended to get engaged to anyone anyway, especially you, MIchelle. She didn't even get to "walk him out."

Oh girl, Matt is going to send you home. You AND your gifts. Color yourself lucky.

I thought Matt was picked and announced before Clare started filming, he was yanked out of the bach applicants. But then again, I don't pay that much attention.

Michelle is pouring out her heart to Matt, who looks like he's ready to call for a barf bag. AGAIN. Dude can't even force a smile. Geesh.

There were better more fun and interesting Black bachelors on Clare's season. At least that's how I remember it. I wonder why Matt was picked. Fleiss wanted this to be The Most Boring and Pathetic Season Evah? I can only wish for Matt's rappelling rope to fray and break. Dude can't even do THAT right, and there's an instructor. It's like this is a season of The Bachelor: Biggest Loser.

Now Matt says he wants to "make the right decision." Bwaha ha, going on this show wasn't exactly a "right decision," dude. Geesh, he's such a dumbass.

No kidding. She should have said but think of all the talk shows you two will be on and then there's DWTS and Kimmel's show too, plus GMA. Think how getting (fake) engaged will kick start your (failed) modeling career. DO IT, Matt, just pick one, it doesn't matter, throw a dart in the wall, get that big-ass Neil Lane ring and get going dumbass. This is the career break you've been waiting for. Oh, no, now CH is giving advice! Maybe not such a good idea Matt. He's going to lean toward The Most Dramatic Finale EVAH. Don't listen to him! Actually, I thought it was going to be Tyler at the door, not CH. But enjoy, it's one of the last times we're gonna see him.

Well, Brother and Mom send Matt off with a boat load of depressing "You aren't ready" and "Are you SURE you want to tie yourself down with some albatross engagement?" Way to perk up the room, fam. No wonder Matt is such a sour puss downer all the time, it's genetic.

Oh, man, now God is the one responsible for putting Rachel and Matt together. Yikes. God: I have someone you need to meet, you guys would be perfect together. Rachel: Oh please, what, ANOTHER blind date? Leave me alone. God: I HAVE SPOKEN!

Matt says the first "I love that" of this episode. Wasn't Matt the one with the ex-con brother with the prison tats? I don't pay enough attention to keep everyone straight. What man asks a woman "Have you ever experienced TRUE LUV before?" Talk about scripted questions. I'll bet there are cue cards just off camera.

The homeless woman living in a box under the overpass is too good for Matt.

Jeezy, Matt's feeling up his mom's leg and thigh just like he does to all the contestants. Yipes.

I'd be asking the brother questions, not just sitting there spouting canned replies to what he asks. I actually thought Matt looked sorta sick to his stomach sitting next to Michelle before Brother "stole" her. I guess that means barf bag, EllenB! God, why is Mom crying. Makes no sense. So she never dated/married again in the 30-some years after Dad skipped out? All these convos are such fluff.

WEEK 26 • March 8, 2021 — ONE asterisk ** 126. Radio History. A 1949 broadcast in Spanish of this drama from 11 years before caused mass panic in Ecuador & the destruction of the radio station. 127. Science Fiction. In a 1952 sci-fi story, a time traveler returning to the present finds a dead one of these insects on his shoe. 128. Literary Thrillers. The only Ian Fleming James Bond novel not told in the third person, it’s narrated by one of 007’s paramours. 129. Foreign Newspapers. Representing its outspoken tone, this newspaper founded in the 19th century has the name of a free-spirited opera character. *130. Historic Places. 8 Pres. have visited this battle site with an Algonquian name about 50 miles from Washington; for McKinley, it was a return visit.*

Well, my seat at the T41 is open if anyone wants it. Big old-time radio and James Bond fan. And still two days left. *sigh* At least my pre-clue-reveal guess of Dune was wrong, as was my after-clue-reveal guess of firefly. Because, well, FIREFLY! I guess I should have watched more Ashton Kucher movies.

I only watched with one eye and part of an ear last night. But I wondered about the middle woman in the $ celebrity-date segment. She was smiling and giving off happy vibes the entire time while I thought the people were told to not smile, not show expression and so forth. Everyone has been so stoic until her, she was being such a Tom Jones fangurl. I did object to the panelists dissing Fabio though. That dude was the hottest hottie of all time back in his day, which is when the date happened. I'd pay that money for some Fabio alone time ... if I had that money anyway. Heh. The celebrity dog groomer segment made me pay attention though. When a professional dog handler friend worked in California, she used to to go celebrity homes to groom dogs. Seems like Sylvester Stallone had Bouviers or a similar breed and she was his regular groomer. Anyway, I ruled out No. 1 since her description of a puppy cut was sorely lacking. It could have been the middle guy since it was not clear to me if the person was a DOG groomer or groomed animals before they were filmed. In which case, I could see a bear getting a bath and brush out. The questions the people were asked were so stupid though. I wish I could have been there to ask some real ones. Agree with @parrotlover that this is a comedy show, not a game show. Which is why I don't waste both eyes and ears on it when it's on. It's on while multitasking, which makes it easier to totally ignore MD, this show's albatross.

Nick Viall did just that, and he became the most hated dude in Bachelor history if not in the world, according to all the posts I read everywhere. He asked how he could be sent home after they had sex the night before. He just said what all of us had been thinking through the years. But oh my, the pearl clutching that went on after he said that OUT LOUD! (Well, and TPTB chose to air it.) And a new Bach Nation Villain was created. Not that I wouldn't like to see that happen after every FJ elimination. The speaking out, not the hate.

Don't mean to go OT, but the color used is vegetable based, washes off and does no harm (I've tried it, I'm just not very good with it) and dogs used in grooming competitions LOVE to be bathed, have a blow dry and a beauty trim. It's like a plush day at the spa for them, but without the milk, butter and oatmeal. Come to think of it, those dogs will have a nicer time than that gross Butter Butt Bachelor date.

That's a new reality show called Pooch Perfect featuring groomers who specialize in sculpting dogs and coloring them so they resemble "something else." I do grooming but not competition grooming nor shaping/coloring. So lucky you, my mug will not be appearing. Thanks for thinking of me!

You forgot the horse trough filled with warm milk. There is a trough exactly like that in my pasture for the livestock. And no, it's not sexy either.

TOOT TOOT! And that trumpet, my friends, says we are ready to find out who is the Winner of Week 25. And that person is ... TOOT TOOT! the person who TOOT TOOT DOUBLED her score from Week 24 to Week 25, the player who goes by the name of ... TOOT TOOT! ... @helpmerhonda. Yes, this player didn't just score higher, she TOOT TOOT DOUBLED her score over two weeks. And here to commemorate this historic event is the FJ Contest Star of the Week trophy, "TWICE IS GOOD," just for helpmerhonda. Congratulations my friend, and feel free to let this honor go to your head. All you other players, buckle down and maybe YOU, yes YOU, could be Winner of Next Week.

And ... this sets the stage for the best recap of this season yet, courtesy of rainsong. (I request @Rainsong also continue with recaps of the commercials.) This episode was the absolute worst, but I admit you made it actually fun the morning after, via your post. High point of my Tuesday. Although each episode emphasizes that Matt is the most dreck Bachelor in history, proving there are boring, vacuous doofs in all races.

I don't. I'm out of my comfort zone if I'm not at the T41.

Geesh, Matt wasn't even funny at the campfire credits scene, just gross and disgusting. He's such a candy ass. Thank the gods next week is the last episode.
