MSP

Oh yay! I came here to see if anyone else was thinking Wilson Phillips, and blackwing you make a great case. I really hope it is them, because I’m a 90s girl and had their main album (on tape, yikes), and because it is so incredibly rare for me to guess one of the singers on my own. WP for the win!

YES!!!

Corey Haim as in .... dead Corey Haim? Or should this be Corey Feldman? He's had a "music" """career""".

Good god Darlene is awful. Is she supposed to be insufferable? She’s such an asshole!

I was coming here to share my (not that) unpopular opinion (?) that the Bull isn’t top 2 or even top 5 for me. I didn’t care for his Straight Up but thought his duet was very good, and since that was fresher in everyone’s minds it was a factor in the voting.

Ugh - I was thinking wrestler and really wanted to see one on this show, since I loved wrestling as a kid, but Hulk Hogan is one of my least favorite people. I think you may be right though, because the Rhino did do this gesture, which was one of Hogan's better known poses.

Heh. Now picturing him singing that is all I can think about! I'm so glad Drew Carey was on the show! I like him a lot, and he was the only one I was 100% sure about. And he absolutely should have stayed longer than White Tiger. During It's Not Unusual I thought "oh, this really shows how talented Drew Carey is," and during Good Vibrations I thought " oh, this really shows how talented Mark Wahlberg is."

Can anyone direct me to screenshots of Lemonade so I can get a visual reference without having to actually sit through a bunch of Beyoncé videos? Thanky!

"His favorite app is 'Contacts'!"

I am quickly going from really liking him to loving him. "DAN?!"

Well, McDonald's : food as The Bachelor :: love About 45 (*hangs head in shame* -- I counted)

Hee! Me too. Kimmi turning on Monica had nothing to do with a Women's Alliance. Monica was annoying Kimmi, and she needed a better push for the men to get on board with getting rid of her than "I don't like her." If it was someone she liked who had suggested a women's alliance, she'd be on board. So either Kimmi tells the guys "I don't like Monica" and risks looking catty and disloyal, or she says "Monica wants a women's alliance!" and makes Monica look disloyal and shows the guys what's in it for them if they get rid of her. She may not even consciously realize she was doing it but I'm sure that's what it was about. Guys, us women are that simple and that complicated.

It is simply NOT Bachelor In Paradise/Bachelor Pad without the douchebag twins, Chris Bukowski and Jesse Kovacs.

UGH, for the producers to have Nick's family sitting right in the front row with cameras in their faces while watching the whole episode and already knowing the result, and then parading Kaitlyn & Shawn in front of them? NOT COOL, producers. Just gross.

I was in Dublin a few years back and I kept looking for a shot of this place. I don't know if it's still there but it was right near many places they showed, like Temple Bar, the Ha'penny bridge, and the Dublin Spire. Missed opportunity!

Sorry, can't figure out quotes on my phone but - "one non contestant is on, a sibling of a cast member that also went to Paradise. Will be interesting to see who they are." Please be true and PLEASE be Kovacs' hot brother. Speaking of which, it's jus not BIP without Jesse Kovacs. Or Chris Bukowski, that delicious douchebag.

That was my recollection too, and it amused me greatly. That wasn't a "surprise", it wasn't even Michael Scott ice cream sandwiches!

Yeah, I could have done without the damage control sit-down. I actually thought it was insulting to Tasos - sorry Tasos, you're still alive so we don't even get to see your exit. Re: Eric Jodio, I think you nailed it! Of course I think Andi was a bit of a harpy about it too, so it was just a lose-lose situation. Especially for Tasos. But let's not pick on Andi, she's SO EXHAUSTED from being on an all-expenses paid extended vacation with a bunch of hunky men, you guys. I'm still torn on Andi. She is fairly intelligent and seems to genuinely want to find a husband, but her tantrums are unflattering and a bit over-the-top. My issue with her freaking out on Juan Pablo was that she basically broke up with him and THEN got angry at him for not being more upset. Once you break up with someone, you don't get to scold them for their subsequent behavior! She does seem to have that unfortunate "I just want to be rescued" quality. Another one of her dramatic overtures I could have done without was all the fuss over the rapelling date that "she" supposedly "planned". Although huge points for how awesome and supportive Marcus was.

I'm not holding my breath either, Alapaki. I figure Hhhwan Pablo was ABC'S way of saying "LOOK HOW RACIALLY DIVERSE WE ARE, EVERYBODY!!!" Also, I'm calling Josh as the next Bachelor. Was Andi seriously all, "this date is showing me what it would be like to be married to JJ for fifty years!"? I mean - what?!?! These dates were just PAINFUL. The Boys II Men date -- I can't even. Bye Brett! You were some of my eye candy and I liked your lamp schtick. And those dimples!

This. She put up a huge stink at being asked to pose naked (which I understand) and didn't she also say back then that she was so modest that she was the only one who brought a one-piece swimsuit instead of a bikini? Now she's asking the men to put their bodies on display in a way that makes them uncomfortable, and she was also in a bikini in this episode! Guess it's easier to do whatever the producers want when they make you the Bachelorette. Of course, I'm shallow so I kind of loved the show the men put on, especially Dylan getting cheeky (pun intended) with Chris Harrison. Also, Chris = a much hotter version of Seth MacFarlane. http://img2-1.timeinc.net/ew/i/2012/09/14/SNL-Seth-MacFarlane_240x320.jpg

Hi all! I'm MSP - Miss Smartypants was my old handle on TWoP. And I mean olllddd - I've watched this crazy show since it started 137 years ago and omg, the stuff I've seen, you guys. Like, back in my day, there was no first impression rose, and some of the rose ceremonies took place with no dramatic background music and the women sitting around a living room wearing pants. PANTS! I can't find evidence of it but I swear it happened. I lived through the Bob Guiney days and Firestone Wines NOT TIRES and Jesse Palmer giving his F1 a PLANE TICKET instead of a ring and the most wonderful Charlie O'Connell and his bevy of beauties including the FBI Agent/Bikini Model and Sarah "I want to scar myself because I'm so beautiful" W. I remember it all - when people thought Brad Womack was the worst person alive (I loved him) until Jason Mesnick came along and wailed over a balcony and dumped Melissa and took over as Public Enemy #1. Then we all wanted Jake to fly a rocketship into the sun. I remember DeAnna's whining and Ben's hair and Lanny's mom and even when Nana was alive! And you guys - REMEMBER REID? Good times. Anyway, hello to all the new (to me) people! I haven't been active on TWoP in ages and I only recognize one person in this thread from back in the day - waving - Hi portergirl!
