Bachelorette Fantasy Recap: Week 8 (Ashley Hebert season)



RANDOM SCRIBBLINGS WHILE WATCHING THE SHOW:







Week 8 was very special to me as we saw the departure of Mr. Ames Brown. His forehead will always hold a very special place in my heart and has brought me tremendous joy over the past 8 weeks. The first part of this email is dedicated solely to that lovely piece of flesh. I would like to say that I think Ames is one of the most genuine, cool guys to ever hit the show. But nevertheless, the comedy must go on:
  • It used to be fun when you would be drinking with a big group of friends and write on the forehead of the first guy who passed out. A friend of mine once had a sleepover with Ames and he passed out first. They were able to write half of the Bible on that bad boy.
  • I had a dream that Ames walked into my apartment. I shook Ames’ hand first, and then I shook Ames’ forehead’s hand.
  • Told this joke the other day…Ames walked into a bar. His forehead ducked.
  • Ames’ forehead once one Connect Four in three moves.
  • A buddy of mine once played golf with Ames. He said it was really annoying. Every time he hit a shot, they all had to yell ‘FOREHEAD!’
  • Ames doesn’t believe in foreplay, he believes in forehead.
  • Ames is a hedge fund manager. He would have a brighter future as a forehedge fund manager.
  • Dos Equis has lied to you. Dos Equis man is not most interesting man in the world. Ames’ forehead is.
  • I would only accept a Google+ invite from Ames’ forehead.
  • Ames’ forehead knows where Carmen Sandiego is.
  • I wonder how many variations of “Why did Ames’ forehead cross the road?” there are now.
  • Ames’ once had a migraine but his forehead felt fine.
  • The sweat from Ames’ forehead could cure cancer.
  • Ames got pulled for speeding but his forehead talked its way out of the ticket.
  • Elton John is actually trisexual. He likes men, women, and Ames’ forehead.
  • Ames was on vacation in Japan in 2010. He was in the Indian ocean and accidentally scrunched his forehead. Perhaps you heard of the aftermath on the news…the Haiti Tsunami of 2010.
  • Rumor has it that the real reason Ames got kicked off the show was because his forehead tested positive for steroids.
  • AMES FOREHEAD JOKE BREAK...(sort of)...
  • Ashley got to return home to Philadelphia. I once knew a girl from Philadelphia named Ashley. She also was a life suck.
  • Comment most overhead by women on Saturday and Sunday mornings by the women of Buckhead: “There was a part of me that felt like I wasn’t 100% sure about saying goodbye to Ryan so early.”
  • Ashley said Ames was one of the most unique guys she has ever met. Since when did people start using the word unique to describe large foreheads.
  • Ashley doesn’t think Ames has any idea how unique he is. I once knew a guy named Dominique who was pretty unique. It was almost so damn literal.
  • JP first kissed Ashley by flipping a coin and telling her, “Heads I get a kiss…tails I do not.” The next time he does that, he should try this variation: “Heads I get tail…tails I get head.”
  • I once tried the above line on a girl. It was a double-tailed coin.
  • Ashley asked if he was happy as a clam to be home. I never met a happy clam before, but if I ever do, I think it would be mean to eat it.
  • I once ate an unhappy clam, and it upset my stomach.
  • My Mom cooks a mean happy Apple Pie.
  • Constantine’s sister Maria…HELLO! I just added 371 girls on Facebook named Maria who live in Cumming, GA. I heard back from one of them. It was a typo, his name was Mario. We are grabbing pizza this Wednesday night. Check please!
  • Ashley joked that she cooks up a mean PBJ. If the P was not in there, it would be much cooler.
  • TWSSMOTS (That’s What She Said Moment of the Show): Ashley said she likes her pizza organized. Constantine replied with, “that’s why your pepperoni’s are so perfect.”
  • While the rest of Constantine’s family danced the jig in a circle, Grandma Constantine sat on the couch. She wanted to Dougie.
  • Ames was really rude on his hometown date. He wouldn’t let his forehead get a word in edgewise.
  • Ashley thinks Ames is like an onion, where you can keep peeling away and find more and more layers. I think Ames is more like one of those peanuts where you crack open the shell and there is nothing inside, except a large forehead.
  • Ames’ parents both have normal sized foreheads. Weird. If I were Ames’ Dad, I would take a closer look at the old milkman.
  • Ames told Ashley he was unpopular in high school. DFD! (Duh f*cking duh!).
  • I bet Ames’ forehead was Homecoming King in high school.
  • Ashley told Ames that they think the exact same way about things. It’s because Ames’ forehead can read minds.
  • Ames once took his forehead to get its mind read. The mindreader’s head exploded.
  • Ben was excited he finally has a chance to explore his emotional side. I once tried to explore my emotional side. I blacked out and woke up next to an empty bottle of Jameson, a midget, a priest, and I had a sore jaw.
  • JP was trying to hint to Ashley that they were going roller skating by asking her “Think of fun indoor activities in the rain.” I yelled at the television, “JUST THE TIP!!”
  • Andrew Zelman once took a girl roller skating. They made out 47 times before the first song was over.
  • Ames was a gentleman after he was denied the final rose, but his forehead wouldn’t stop giving Ashley the middle finger.
Happy Bachelorette viewing tomorrow night. Stay tuned for the announcement of a BACHELORETTE FINALE VIEWING PARTY in Atlanta, coming next week.

Love,

Bachelorette Fantasy Recap: Week 6 (Ashley Hebert)




RANDOM SCRIBBLINGS WHILE WATCHING THE SHOW:

  • The correct term for “dot dot dot” is ELLIPSIS – indicates the omission or suppression of words, or parts of words, in speech and writing.” I bet if you asked Ashley the definition of ELLIPSIS, she would tell you it is a piece of cardio equipment.
  • Part of Ashley’s heart is with Bentley in the United States. Part of my heart is with Chris Harrison in Hong Kong.
  • I once locked part of my heart in my car.
  • Chris Harrison was rocking hipster gray shoes. I’m still holding out hope he will break out Jesus sandals, so they become hip again, and I can break mine out of the closet.
  • If Jesus wore Jesus sandals, it would be so damn literal.
  • If I played Donkey Kong in Hong Kong, I wonder if that would be so damn literal on any level.
  • Chris Harrison is an amateur. If the man had any game, he would have told Ashley to show up to “Bentley’s room” with a blindfold on and advised her to go straight for the make-out sesh to see if there was still a spark. All the while giving her his room number. Duh.
  • Ashley was outside of Bentley’s door for a solid 2 minutes before deciding to knock. I wonder if she was trying to knock mentally but no one was answering.
  • I once met Bradley Cooper on a plane, and his breathtaking musk almost knocked me off my feet. I have never met Bentley, but I imagine Bentley’s musk > Bradley Cooper’s musk.
  • When Ashley asked Bentley what he was doing in Hong Kong, he should have told her he had a hankering for some Kung Pao Chicken.
  • Ashley told Bentley when he left it was “hard for me for days”. Bentley should have replied with, “I saw a commercial on TV…if it’s hard for more than 4 hours you should consult a doctor."
  • I once took a Viagra but it got stuck in my throat. I had a stiff neck for hours.
  • Lucas’ date card read, “Let’s find our good fortune on the streets of Hong Kong.” If Lucas played the Hong Kong lottery on his date and won, that fortune cookie would have been so damn literal.
  • Lucas said realizing his ex-wife wasn’t right for him was a tough thing to swallow. The hardest thing I’ve ever tried to swallow was 6 saltine crackers in 1 minute without water. 
  • The group date card read “Let’s get our hearts racing!”. If Chris Harrison would have broken out a fresh bag of cocaine, it would have been so damn literal.
  • Ames asked if Ashley wouldn’t mind if he kissed her. I once asked a girl that question and she replied with, “Is the Pope Catholic?” I said, “DUH!”, and walked away. In hindsight, I think I blew it.
  • Line of the show I also heard from Zelman this week: "This week I have a one on one date and two group dates…and I’m so excited for every one of them.”
  • The group date involved dragon boat racing. I bet Ames’ forehead could row faster than Ames.
  • Ben F and Constantine decided to go shopping instead of recruiting people for their dragon boat race team. WINNING!
  • Hong Kong guy proposed to Hong Kong girl after the dragon boat races. Ashley asked what the chances were. I would have told her > chances of Mickey’s hair gel beating Ames forehead in said HBO fight.
  • Swimmers can shave off their body hair to become more aerodynamic. Unfortunately, Ames can not shave off his forehead.
  • Ryan P decided to rock the goatee this episode. If he could somehow manage to get a goat to drink out of a cup full of tea, it would be so damn literal.
  • Ames and Ashley shared their first kiss. Ames was overheard telling producers it was much better than the last guy he kissed.
  • Did Ames kiss Ashley, or was it a contest to see who could push each other’s faces harder with their noses.
  • Mickey said Ryan P would not get a rose, but he did. Mickey then commented that he is going to keep his mouth shut because everything he says won’t happen actually does happen. If I were Mickey, I would find a camera and state, “Ashley will not turn into Emily.”
  • Blake doesn’t want to play second fiddle to anyone. If Justin Bieber ever needed a second fiddle player, I would volunteer.
  • It would have been the most dramatic cocktail party ever if Ashley told everyone she couldn’t drink at the party because she had mentally slept with Brad Womack last season and they were mentally 6 months preggers.
  • Ashley wanted to make all of the guys feel great but she doesn’t know how to do it. She needs to learn about mental happy endings.
  • Ames received the last rose. He looked relieved, but his forehead was giving Ashley the evil eye.
No standings updates and no best texts received. Sorry I'm not sorry it's a holiday weekend. Happy 4th of July!

Love,
