Random thing to know about me #287: Recently I’ve had to start using a magnifying mirror — one the size of a paper plate that is suctioned cupped to my regular bathroom mirror which no longer works — to be able to do things like put on eyeliner and actually SEE MY FACE … and when […]

  • Nicole - Are you still recapping the show? Haven’t seen a recap since ep 2 an d we’re heading into ep 5 this week. I love your take on the show!!ReplyCancel

    • Michelle - I’m not. 🙁 I really didn’t get enough traffic on them to make it worth my time. But you are sweet to notice (and truly the only one who did). Thank you for your nice comment! Hope you’ll stick around and make sure to follow The Bachelor recaps in January. 🙂ReplyCancel

      • Erin - I, too, was a silent fan who came here looking for more of your reviews on DCC. Bummer.ReplyCancel

  • Christine - I love your recap/blog….. I never watched DCC until a friend of mine told me about it 3 years ago. I started watching and I am hooked. Excited to read the next recap you have on the upcoming episode(s)!ReplyCancel

Great news, O fellow fans of guilty pleasure shows chock full of girls with identical hairstyles and tear-streaked faces who’re hoping to live out their unattainable dreams in front of a cameraman who’s currently shooting his own, I’ve got a show for us to dish over for the next couple of months. And while it doesn’t have roses […]

  • Ted - Love your DCC recaps — keep them coming!ReplyCancel

Before we dive into the murky green waters of Thailand, let’s rewind to May for a sec, shall we? *insert wavy lines here*   I’d like to say it’s like I’m a freakin’ clairvoyant, but you guys, I really can’t own this prediction. I mean, we all saw it coming, didn’t we? Well, except for Robby. […]

  • Snarkfest - I’ve been subscribed for years. I know you’re not just a one trick pony with your recaps. You ain’t getting rid of me that easily. Bring on the non-recap posts!! I’ll be here.ReplyCancel

Settle down, friends. This isn’t a real recap. But since my crew and I just got caught up on the three episodes we missed while we were in London (although I already knew who’d been SHOCKINGLY cut — thanks a LOT Chris Harrison’s Facebook feed and my stupid compulsion for scrolling social media while taking advantage […]

  • Snarkfest - Looking forward to the finale! I wonder who she’ll pick???

    /sarcasm

    Thanks for always making me laugh with these recaps. <3ReplyCancel

  • Judy - OMG – I was so afraid you’d be so caught up in London “stuff” that you wouldn’t take time to fill us in —— so that I can agree and disagree! Robby and Jordan – I hate their hair (sorry – redundant, I know but……) – I hate Robby’s more than Jordans but that’s not the only reason for my Robby distaste. What on earth does she see in him that would make her turn Luke and, more importantly even, Chase, down? Of the hometowns, Luke and Chase were the more memorable and “real” to me, but then I’m biased against both Robby and Jordan.

    I so wish ABC and TPTB would come up with new “non-scripts”. Kaitlyn’s heart was beating out of her chest in every cameo and JoJo is sick to her stomach in every cameo. What’s the big deal with someone telling her they love her after less than 2 months – that would be my red flag to me – I’d want someone who could see building that relationship over time out from under America’s prying eyes.

    Did you get to see The Men Tell All segment? Loved it! Especially the mom standing up in the audience – won’t say more in case you still have it to watch! ABC would absolutely love love love to have Chad as the next bachelor – wouldn’t THAT make for some interesting fodder! Watched scenes from Bachelor in Paradise that made me sit up and take notice – Chad is Bad! But he’s that bad boy that girls love to hate and get drawn into for some unknown reason.

    Thanks, Michelle – so sorry there are only 40 of us – but know that we 40 enjoy you tremendously!!!ReplyCancel

  • Sarah H - One of your forty (that would be me) just squeaked with glee when she saw your newest recaps on Facebook feed. Thank you!ReplyCancel

I’m baaack! Sort of. I’m actually writing this high above the Atlantic as we hurtle through the air toward Boston. Yes, Boston. Not Minneapolis as the DIRECT FLIGHT TICKETS we bought state, but Boston. APPARENTLY we’re down a pilot who became violently ill last night and since THE LAW says we can’t make it all […]

  • Jackie Owen - Thanks for the report! I can live vicariously through you now!ReplyCancel

In a few days we’re headed to London for a week, and you guys, I’m already exhausted. For the past few months I’ve been planning our takeover. Did you get that? For the past few months I’ve been planning our takeover. I’ve read and bookmarked Rick Steve’s advice (to the point where I’m pretty sure […]

  • Jennifer Joyce McDowell - We just came back from London last week, by far our favorite family vacation. Hamley’s toy store was a huge hit as was the Tower bridge tour.ReplyCancel

  • Snarkfest - I have no doubt that they will come around and love and appreciate all that you’ve done for them to make the trip fantastic. And if they don’t, you can just leave them there.ReplyCancel

  • Erin Hill - Not to add to your itinerary, but I just got back from London last week. We did a muggle walking tour that was pretty fun.. they show you where scenes were filmed and if you’re a big HP fan it’s pretty entertaining. Also, if you can get a reservation – eat breakfast at Duck & Waffle and order the Full Elvis waffle. It’s life changing!ReplyCancel

  • Amy - I want to go on a vacation with you! This sounds exactly like how I plan vacations and my husband just goes along with it with no opinions whatsoever. He doesn’t fully appreciate my very detailed scheduled itinerary spreadsheets 🙂 Can’t wait to hear about your trip!ReplyCancel

  • Jennie Thomas - Totally how I plan and the people who are used to it and have vacationed without me are hooked. I plan beach trips with menus, newsletters to give a list of weather forecasts, tidal schedules, sunrise and sunset times, ideas of places to go each day and historical facts about the area. People new to the trips are kind of put off by the planning…and then become converts halfway through. YOu mean I can just pick up this book and figure out where to eat? We are going to the beach while the tide is coming in, so we need to set up further back…thank you newsletter!ReplyCancel
