S24.E10: The Women Tell All

[Rainsong]

Peter’s had epic love stories? Why didn’t they show us any of them? All our favorite women are back. Except we don’t have any favorites. This collection of rejects is like a nightmare in which all the annoying people you’ve sat next to on various airliners are all herded onto one plane with you for a 10 hour flight. If you’ve got enough time on your hands to make a Mykenna t-shirt then perhaps a charity or Humane Society project might make a better contribution to society.

Victoria is at a railing and we thank her as we crack a cold IPA at this stock composition of shot. Her declaration of love for Peter is strangely devoid of emotion – even robotic. The poor sod in the percussion section always gets a workout during the final episodes as he grabs the mallets and spends two solid hours hammering on a cymbal. Every camera cut is accompanied by a sssssSSSSSsssss crescendo. Hannah is choosing a dress – in this case a fringed go-go number.

Chris and Peter meet up in a horse pasture – which is convenient because Peter is doing his usual Eeyore routine. He’s upset with Madison’s rules, mostly because he thinks he should be the only one dictating rules. An oddly-timed rose ceremony is taking place, apparently without Madi, as the two others shiver in their barely-there dresses. It’s time to sack whomever is providing the cast and crew with weather forecasts on their call sheets because they’ve been about 20 degrees off from actual conditions throughout the season. 

Peter and Madison both wear expressions usually seen at a funeral. He really is a miserable git. To no one’s surprise Hannah gets the rose as the safe(st) option. To the surprise of no one with a lick of sense, Madison gets the remaining rose otherwise this would have been the world’s longest shaggy dog story. How ironic that the upcoming Bachelorette was announced today when Victoria would have been a fantastic choice for generating interest among red-blooded males while also generating pull-hair-out frustration among them.

Lexi speaks first to declare that fantasy suites are part of the deal and who is Madison to pursue chastity? Sydney inexplicably claims that she and Madison are from the same community. Uh, no dear, Birmingham and Auburn are 100 miles apart. It was in all the papers. Alayah is back to have more strips torn off by her vindictive peers. The room is nearly devoid of self-awareness as Lexi calls her malicious. What’s this? Victoria P is getting a long-overdue dose of comeuppance and is called ‘the fakest person’ by Savannah. Sydney, as usual, is attempting to monopolize the conversation.

A torturous return to the life and times of Kelsey is next. Visiting the dentist on consecutive days holds more appeal. Mykenna and Kelsey exchange frequent rubs on the shoulder – apparently this conveys solidarity. Against whom and what we’re not sure. Mykenna is here to bore us with more talk of feeling unworthy with a catch in her voice. She doesn’t want to treat people poorly – but this declaration of noble purpose comes 30 seconds after her snide putdown of a girl who went home on the first night.

Tammy you’re still a nasty piece of work but you struck a blow for sanity with your rolling of eyes and asking Mykenna how long she rehearsed yet another speech. Quite long, apparently, as Mykenna was intent on speaking all her lines anyway.

Kelsey’s turn onstage is a long exercise in cluelessness in which she equates emotional instability with ‘vulnerability’ (this year’s buzzword) and seems to believe that a nearly 30 year old female losing the plot every five minutes is an irresistible temptation for any man.

Victoria F agrees that communication was difficult. She should know.

Peter makes his appearance. Sydney is talking. Again. And now we’ve apparently veered off into a tiresome race and social media harangue. If The Bachelor is like high school dating then TWTA is middle school summer day camp self-esteem candyfloss.

The Women Tell All? Jokes aside what was told apart from that which we already knew and dreaded hearing about again? In other words, where was the ‘all?’ TWTA actually used to have some surprises, some innuendo, some gossip, some risqué content. There was little, if any, laughter about comedic moments or in-jokes with this group of acid-tongued harpies. In fact, there didn’t seem to be any lighthearted moments due to the hissing and clawing that filled every idle minute. This year’s cast didn’t seem to care if The Bachelor was even involved – they merely wanted to fluctuate between railing against their tormentors and tormenting their peers seated nearby. Hypocrisy is too inadequate a term for the pervasive double standard employed by Mykenna et al.

I’m behind tonight.  I’m watching Kelsey in the hot seat. 
Two observations...
One....I think Kelsey got her lips botoxed. 
Two...that was Kelsey’s Bachelorette audition. Before they chose Clare.

Also, was it just me, or did Ashley I look different?

[Stats Queen]

At the beginning when all the women were shouting over each other and you couldn’t understand what anyone was saying I thought: “another Democratic debate already?” And then I thought “oh,no, it’s a real housewives reunion”. 

All of these things could have used better moderators, strict instructions for who can speak and when, and being banished if you interrupted more than 5 times

Well that was a big nothing burger. Nobody was really taken to task. At the very least the two Victorias should have been challenged more. Victoria P on her blatant lie about how well she knew Alayah. And Victoria F for.... well... everything. 

Whoever upthread said Mykenna is a Pinterest inspirational quote was spot on. Tammy is a little sour, but I’d be rolling my eyes hard at these betches too.

No, it wasn't just you.  I thought so too.  Couldn't put my finger on it, although she looked a little larger.  I'm not one to talk, but I do remember she had one of the hottest bodies I'd ever recalled, but she looked like she had put on a few happy-engagement lbs. maybe?

She just looked different overall.

[Adeejay]

Way too much Sydney and not enough Alayah.  So, instead of those bitches getting called out for being mean and nasty, we get a PSA from Rachel.  I read an interview where Peter said he couldn't wait to call out Tammy and Sydney.  I wonder what happened.  I am glad they were all passed over for "The Bachelorette".

Too much honeymooning! Actually, I thought her face looked different. Hey, if she turns up pregnant, we can say we noticed first! (No rumors please!)

[tinkerbell]

Tammy was wearing a shirt that looked like it was made of little pieces of mirror, glued to fabric. When she was on camera, the studio lights reflected back on her face like she was wearing a disco ball.  

[leocadia]

I wondered if Peter was hoping that Madison wouldn't show up and he wouldn't have to make a decision to cut it down to three.  He was legitimately shaking during the rose ceremony.  Once she made her entrance, he knew he was in trouble.  He had to pick her since he pretty much begged her to stay, but if she turned him down, Vic F would always know she wasn't in his top two.

I do find it frustrating that this show in no way encourages good behavior, but then has to have a lecture segment.

Didn't Kelsey just admit to calling someone (I'm too lazy to look up who) a f-ing dramatic bitch on the same show? Didn't Tammy just accuse Mykenna of spreading her legs every time the camera turned her way? And then we get the lecture? 

Couldn't Rachel have just shown us an update on her successful life post Bachelorette? Why is Rachel just put in the lecturer box?

My thought was that maybe she got smaller fake eyelashes because you could almost see her actual eyes now -- practically like she was able to actually open her eyes now with so much less weight anchored to them.

It wasn't a shirt, it was a Sherri Hill jumpsuit. It has been everywhere this year. 

[Wandering Snark]

I was just waiting for someone to respond to the "Will Maddie show?" question with "What with the ironclad contracts we signed prior to our involvement with the show, she'd better be here until officially dismissed! Now can we just get ON with this!?!"

Lastly what will stay with me maybe forever is that I'm still trying to get over the fact that there was a studio audience shot that was wall to wall guys!! That to me was the most dramatic moment ever. It was like TEN guys! Usually I play my 'pick out the guy in the crowd' (nope, they got him...) game and my mind was blown.

Getting lectured about being mean is rich coming from this group. They were all so unlikable, that no one was picked to be The Bachelorette. And now they get to romp with Claire’s rejected old men on BIP. Ha! Ha!

LOL!  I actually paused the show to take a pic of that shot to send to a friend.  I know they explained at some point who they were, but that first out of context shot made it look like they stumbled into the wrong studio and wished they were anywhere else.

[Andyourlittledog2]

I always regret watching The Bachelor but every year I come back.  This season, however, seems to have finally cured me. The whole thing was such utter bullshit and had almost no participants I could actually stand, with the added hysterical famewhoredom of Peter's mom --- I can't take this shit any more. The Women Tell All was just an assembly of internet-driven dingdongs trying to upstage each other. The whole Madison storyline is being played out to the nth degree for maximum 'impact' and has little to do with actual feelings or thoughts (IMHO).  Even the bloopers were a stretch. Two hours I'll never get back and am embarrassed to admit I tuned in for.

I think I'm finally free at last!

[Koalagirl]

Watching Peter dissipate during the course of the season made me wonder if he was going to be able to survive “the process.”  He looked so fresh and hopeful the first night and he was a shell of a man by the end.

Social media is brutal. Every person on that stage who has a social media account received hate and racist comments. Every Youtuber does. Trisha Paytas is a troll, and pretty gross. The comments she gets put anything Rachel gets to shame. But it’s a choice to be on social media. When you let the public in, you take the good bad and ugly. You can’t  tell trolls not to be trolls. Attention is what they seek. So Rachel just told her followers, most of them positive, that the haterz were more important. Don’t feed the trolls!  It’s like a dog. Ignore bad behavior and reward good. 
 

So hypocritical that these hags were playing the victim and bullying Alayah. Holy moly but she is gorgeous. Who cares if she does pageants? Gives a lot of girls the thicker skin they need in the world, and discipline. 
 

We really need to institute 2 years of military service like Israel does for every young person who is able to serve. These women, and Peter, are socially stunted. It’s painful to watch. Poor things were brought up in a bubble. At least outward bound or something. 
 

 

[Jillibean]

I don’t understand why the producers think we want to watch a bunch of women yell over each other to the point where you have no idea what anyone s saying. It’s not satisfying or entertaining. It’s actually somewhat stressful. As mentioned upthread, the people I was watching with also made democratic debate jokes. They pretape this and edit it; there’s no reason to keep those sections in. I still have no idea what Victoria P’s justification was for lying, because I couldn’t hear her over the six people yelling at her trying to get screentime.

For a season with so much controversy and fighting, I don’t think they really held anyone very accountable. I would have liked to see Chris take more of a lead in questioning people, including Victoria F, about the vitriol they hurled at Alayah. I would have liked to see Chris play the clip of Sydney using her one on one time to bring up women who were being fake followed by her telling Tami that Peter is the one who brought up Alayah. Show the Victoria P/Alayah conversation where it’s clear one of them isn’t being truthful and pretty apparent who it is. When they all just yell it seems like no one is any better than anyone else, which means no one is actually held accountable for poor behavior. 

I was annoyed that the show felt the need to try to spin Victoria F back to someone we should like and someone who in any way had a functional relationship with Peter.  She has had so much awfulness come out about her offscreen that they should just cut their losses. I’m sure they want her for BiP, but they have so many candidates. 

Lexi seems like one of those perpetually bitter people who couldn’t say something nice about someone who isn’t in her direct friend circle if you paid her.

I will say that I appreciated that even they knew the women tell all wasn't enough good content for 2 hours, so there were other things on.  That said, I always have felt this episode just makes the show lose momentum for the final episodes.  You finally get down to two people and then have to wait 2 weeks.  There is rarely anything interesting in the women tell all, and they could easily skip it--I doubt many would miss it.

It should be in the finale, because we saw that preview at the end of this episode.

they pretty much telegraphed what will happen--my guess--Madi leaves after meeting the parents again, leaving hannah Anne alone, and his pitiful sorrys are that he cant gve her the rose. and off he goes looking for Madi. a "coltonesque" end to this season. Peters Mom plea is to bring madi home. I dont even feel sorry for Hanna ann if my theory is correct because in my opinion, she set this up by pretty much telling him that no matter what he does she is there waiting for him <gag>

Everyone in the public eye deals with criticism, but she acted like this is a new phenomenon.  I don't know why Harrison gave her this platform.

I thought Peter came off like a jerk in his interview talking about how hard things were on the show.  I kind of liked him before, but now I think that he's a wimp.

Didn't your hear?  The Bachelor franchise is now branching out into music and PSA development.  You, too, can have all your worries sorted out by the experts. And coming soon to a TV near you.....Bachelor Training Camp -- run exclusively by former pageant queens.  They'll be divided up into teams.  And very much like The Voice, if a Queen's protegee lands the bachelor, she gets her very own Bachelor sash.  And it will be awarded in a very special edition of Bachelor...Pageant Queen.

....That old lady at the end swigging down the champagne like a pro was kind of funny, though.

So. Much. This. I've been told to "f-off and die," quite a few times on message boards and  an astonishingly large number of people think I need therapy, political boards can be  brutal, but I always remember that I have the option of logging off and occasionally I actually do. 

These are women who have no trouble at all with  "social media," when it might result in them making thousands of dollars just for saying, "I use brand X to clean my toilet."  That part is all great, and just what they believe they deserve from been so special.  Airheads like Mykenna, with terrible taste in all things, can set themselves up as fashion experts and collect money for doing nothing, but we all should sob with sympathy if someone tells her her eyebrows look awful. Meh, keep falling in love with yourself Mykenna, nobody else cares.

I'm glad it's almost over.  How awful a season is it that the show has to drag the fame whore mother along to get a little manufactured drama.  Even the bloopers were boring  and only served to remind us that the dweeb bachelor is clumsy and scared of animal noises and little old men. 

Peter is hands down the worst Bachelor ever.  Ben Higgins was boring but he was handsome and a grown-up.  Ben Flapjack could be sort of lovable, and was capable of forgetting the camera from time to time.  Peter is just a dud in every area.

Hannah Ann has grown on me, I hope she doesn't get picked, she can do much better.  I hope he picks Madison because, after the grudging way she took that last rose, I don't think she'll hesitate to break it off with Peter  after they've had a few weeks in the real world.

My, Tammy certainly had some really unfortunate-looking expressions... 

Passing on the music version. I gagged over the getting to sing with the Plain White T's. I think that's why the only music competition show I've ever watched was Rock Star because it wasn't all boring Top 40/commercial pablum. I'm 56, and most of my explanations about what bands I'm into starts with, "Gawd, I sound like a damn hipster but you won't have heard of them."

I find it hard to believe, too, but I guess if some rich woman, living close to the bachelor mansion, wanted to get all her friends over for a theme party and a chance to be on TV, it might pass an evening for them.  I would have thought that one woman would draw the line at throwing pop corn in her own face, though.

Ugh.  I was just reading the Vulture recap and they mentioned the scene where Peter's parents are pretending to have sex in the car.  I had completely blanked that from my memory bank for very good reason and now I can't stop thinking about it.  WTF?  Who's idea was that? Why was it thought of a funny idea? Why did they agree to debase themselves?  What son wants to actively think of his parents banging?  

It was fun watching Kelsey audition for the Bachelorette knowing that Clare got the role.  Bless her heart, she tried really hard.   The crescendo of the screeching voices at the beginning actually made me put my hands over my ears.   The collective age of that group is over-tired toddler melting down in the ball pit of Chuckee Cheese. 

And I thought it was rich of the show to bring out Rachel to discuss racism and bullying and then NEVER bringing up Victoria F's "White Marlin Matters" modeling career.   

And will I watch next week?  Yes because dammit I can't quit this show.

[Gregg247]

I didn't like Rachel's "The Evils of the Internet" segment of the show.  There are some terrible people out there, saying awful things to people they only know from watching them on TV.  I get the feeling, however, that these crazies are very few in number, and are the same people who spew venom at politicians, sports stars, musicians, actors, AND reality show "stars".  These nuts spend a LOT of their day sending these texts/e-mails to many, many people.  99% of Internet users are normal (or at least, people like us on this site! haha).  I wasn't sure, while watching Rachel, what the "call to action" was supposed to be.  What are we, the public, supposed to do with this new-found knowledge of Internet crazies?  The segment just seemed a little pointless (but definitely sad for the receivers of these messages).

Beyond that, the show was a bit bland.  None of the women had anything negative to say to Peter at all.  No one even asked him any pointed questions.  All I heard was, "You did such a great job, following your heart.  Dating you has made me a better person!"  Really?????????

And I'm sorry, Rachel, but you were really nasty towards Peter on your ATFR and then continued to diss him afterwards every chance you got to make sure he wasn't the next bachelor.  Not to mention the fact that you just had to say publicly that you won't speak to Raven anymore but won't say why.  Your attempt to just make her look bad, maybe?  You've added to the negativity, too, with your comments and constant need for attention to try and stay relevant.  Think about going back to practicing law and trying to genuinely help some people.

So, it’s come out that Kelley wasn’t asked was because she had wanted to call out production on unfairly editing.   Specifically, in her last segment, she said a lot of unkind things, but apparently, it was all spliced together to make it look like she said it all at once.  Yes, she did say those things, and yes, she knew what she signed up for, but she was going to call out production.

HAHA! I made my husband listen the Bachelor Party podcast "Bachelor in Paradise' Fantasy Draft' and the only reason he watched the WTA is to put the faces to the draft picks.  It's a fun and funny episode with Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin guest hosting with Juliet Litman.

That’s a shame imo. I know you take the risk of a bad edit, but I don’t think this is fair. If you go on the show and are bitchy, rude, catty, dramatic, emotional, don’t expect to be portrayed as a sweet, even-keeled young woman. But if you are pretty cool and mature like Kelly appeared to be most of the time, it’s not right for the producers to try to make you look bad.
