The Bachelorette Episode 3: Andi makes them Sing

We find out that this week's dates will be taking place in Santa Barbara with only 16 guys left. After next week, we might be able to get past the "who's that, again?" portion of the show.

Hans and Andi ride off into the Sunset

Hans gets the first one-on-one in Santa Barbara. (Frozen Spoiler Alert) For those at home without a 4 year old daughter, the character Hans in Frozen comes from a large family and needs to seek a kingdon of his own, pretends to be a good guy, woos and gets engaged to Princess Anna, eventually locks up Queen Elsa and attemps to kill her before Anna saves her sister - the true act of love needed to thaw her frozen heart. I CANNOT wait for Hans to turn from good guy to villian because I KNOW it will happen.

Some of the guys even hinted at the skeptic Hans. Hans is slow playing Andi in a fairly obvious attempt to be the next Bachelor. This is something we blog about every year on the Bachelorette. A good portion of the guys have to be on the show just to up their chances of being the Bachelor.

They have one of those Bachelor “normal day” – biking & hiking with chardonnay. The truly best part of this date was Hans' dinner wardrobe choice. An Members only jacket with the collar popped. Better villian in a members only jacket - Hans or Ahmadinejad? Regardless, Hans secures the rose.

Bachelorz II Men 

The Group date included Coach, Famous Amos, Albino Rhino, Tacos, Paul Mitchell, Ron Carew, Opera Man, Josh, Eric, Frat Bro 1 and 2 and Gosling.

Some of the guys are concerned about \Opera Man singing domination. All the guys were pretty excited about singing with Boys II Men with Eric dropping the quote of the night in discussing his favorite BIIM memory. They helmed him “touch my first butt in the 7th grade.”

There are only three Boys II Men? Yes.

Other highlights

• All the guys were predictably pretty terrible and Boyz II Men were surprisingly charming. I vote to end this season of the Bachelorette with Andi and Josh getting together and Fleiss & Co pick up a reality series with Boyz II Men instead?
• Coach dropped an interesting "girl of my dreams” during an interview and we have to put him in a "Watch" category for nearing "guard and protect her heart" territory.
• Loved seeing Frat Bro 1 and 2 hanging out
• Opera Man and Tacos had a scream-off
• First time we noticed Andi drunk.
• Josh gets the rose.

Dockers and Andi in Bad Grandpa

I don't need to photoshop this picture as Fleiss & Co. ripped off Johnny Knoxville for the Dockers and Andi one-on-one. Some old-face make up probably distracted viewers but Dugan isn't forgetting those pants you wore, Dockers.  He also brought an interesting pants game to the rose ceremony and IMHO, his outfits call for far too much attention.

The makeup artists brought their A game making Dockers look like a creepy, old dude. Andy got a grey wig and a blazer. Dockers did secure the rose on this date:



Rose Ceremony

Ron Carew's gone and Hans, Josh and Dockers are safe.

• Hans' flowers break up some Andi/Eric time
• Frat Bro 1 gets in trouble for being a frat bro. He got a hostess' number and bragged about it. Why? Because he's a frat bro. Dockers not happy about it.

Who else will be moving on to next week in Connecticut?

• Gosling.
• Coach
• Famous Amos
• Tacos
• Albino Rhino
• Frat Bro 2
• John Deere
• Eric
• Dylan
• Frat Bro 1

Goodbye Paul Mitchell and Opera Man. For those younger people who know Adam Sandler from movies like Blended, google yourself some Opera Man when he was young and talented.

The Bachelorette: Dorfman's Last Dance

It's great to be back, but first a recommendation. Fans of WWT and The Bachelor/ette: read the bios. It’s great material. We have professional athletes, soccer players, Drake fans, ambiguously straight bros and a black Jewish guy. The most interesting jobs include a pantsapreneur, helicopter pilot, bartender, wedding coordinator. I want to see a WWF steel cage match between the helicopter pilot, bartender and wedding coordinator against Harrison, Fleiss and Neil Lane. What would that look like? I will satisfy that curiosity, friends.

Macho Man Fleiss would end this fight in one round if Andi didn't take care of 2/3 of the Bachelor Tag Team on her own. For the love of Rod Carew, let’s get started!

Andi's Atlanta

Fleiss and Co are keeping up the charade that Ms. Dorfman is some crime fighting badass. Ms. Dorfman was admitted to the Georgia Bar on November 5, 2012. Filming for JP's season began September 17, 2013. With a hat tip to Wags, I'd venture that Ms. Dorfman practiced as much law as the dental student Ashley fixed teeth.

Regardless, her name is Dorfman and her father may be the actual Dorfman. 

Disprove:

Let's Meet the Bros

This season is going to be pretty brotastic. There are many questions but none more important than this: Will Neil Lane get his bachelor groove back? Let's buckle up, enjoy the ride, and pray for Neil.

Limo #1

• We have nervous Marcus from Canada, the sports medicine managing Canadian. He will be known moving forward as "Gosling"
• Chris the Iowa farmer, now known as "John Deere"
• JJ, the pantsaprenuer who enjoys the movie "Wet Hot American Summer," a Dugan favorite, "Dockers"
• Marquel, the California cookie man, "Famous Amos"
• Tasos, the Denver wedding coordinator, "Tacos"

 Limo #2

• Cody, a Chicago personal trainer pushed the limo, popped the collar on his jacket and became "The Albino Rhino"
• Steven is "Snowboard Steve." Steve, your nickname sucks which usually doesn't bode well.
• Rudie, aka "Attorney Rudie" (see above) tried some “fun attorney humor” out of the limo. THERE IS NO SUCH THING. 

• Carl is a firefighter from South Florida and a Dugan favorite simply for those two reasons.
• Jason is a doctor in the mold of Domer Dr. Larry from the last Bachelorette season. We'll call him "Ace" and hope to meet "Gary" later.

Limo #3

• Nick B. has 10 siblings, gets the first impression rose in an upset and is "Hans"
• Note: If you have watched the movie Frozen 1232 times like I have, you understand why this name is funny and fits.
• Dylan is a 26 year old accountant from Mass and a Mrs. Dugan pick to go far (along with Carl)
• Patrick plays soccer and is "Frat Bro 2"
• Emil. Oh, Emil. I have a client named Emil. He pronounces his name “Eh meal.” It's simple. People don't mess it up. Our friend Emil on the Bachelor pronounces it "Anal" but with an "M." We'll call him "Anal" with an "N."
• Brett comes out of the limo with a lamp and I immediately lost interest. He's a hairstylist and in honor of Vidal Sassoon from last season will be named "Paul Mitchell"

Limo 4

• Craig comes out popping bottles and you have to like that
• Ron's a black guy from Israel so he's "Rod Carew"
• Bradley's an opera singer...well, this one's easy. "Opera Man"

• Josh B is a Denver telemarketer and should be sent home immediately just for being that. There should be a first impression rose and a first elimination carnation. He's excited, we aren't.

Golf Cart #1

• Nick S. is a pro golfer from Florida nka "Ty Webb"

Limo #5

• Brian's a Pennsylvania basketball coach. Oh, do you coach the Sixers? No. St. Joe's? No. Temple? No. UPenn? No. La Salle? No. Villanova? No. Wait, really? Can you say that you are a "Coach" if its at the elementary school level? Wouldn't saying "teacher" be better? 

Regardless, a great nickname can get you far, "Coach"

• Andrew pulled the "Andrew and Andi" cute card, I gagged and will call him "Frat Bro 1"
• Mike has long hair and people call him "Camps.” I call him "Gary" as he belongs with Ace. 
• Eric gives Andi some "Andes" mountain dolls
• Josh M is a former pro baseball player that now lives in Atlanta

Cocktail Hour Highlights

There was not much time shown between Andi and the guys so we will have to hit the highlights:

• Josh M is her type but she has to find out if he's there for the right reasons. Man, that didn't take long.
• Fantastic editing by Fleiss & Co. when Andi leads with "maybe my type's gonna change" and they cut to the next scene with Andi and Famous Amos sitting together.
• Famous Amos also gave her a black and white cookie and he's my favorite person on the show by far.
• Chris B from Emily's season tried to show up and Andi shuts him down. No appeals would be heard. It was a big time blow to the face. Where? IN DA FACE.

• Opera Man sings (you don't say?)
• Frat Bro 1 and Frat Bro 2 realize they have a ton in common and are really into each other
• Despite what she says, John Deere is going to have an uphill battle convincing Dorfman into the rural life
• Gosling drops a line of Polish and German, disclaims any proficiency but gets a "he's so worldly" from Andi.
• In the upset, Hans gets the first impression rose and we'll have to keep our eyes out for the False Protagonist turn sure to come later in the season

The Cut List

1. Attorney Rudie
2. Anal
3. Snowboard Steve
4. Ace 
5. Gary
6. Josh B

Ace wants to know if something could have changed his chances? Mrs. Dugan and I tried to count what could have changed his luck.

1. Don't wear an awful tie - the only way you could get away with that color is if you were standing up and the bridesmaids had that color
2. Cut your hair. You are in your later 30s. No excuses, Dr.
3. Change your personality. Admittedly more difficult, but would have helped.
4. And the fact you probably don’t like women

So long Ace and Gary....we hardly knew ya.
