Sonoma Ben: Women Tell All

Our friend Chris Harrison begins the night previewing the action including the bombshell appearance by HB Courtney! The crowd's reaction to HB's presence was probably my favorite moment of the night (please continue reading, though). It was straight out of a Ronco Informercial.

Let's Catch up with Favorites from Past Seasons

• Ed is no longer with Gillian but is with many other bachelorettes
• Ryan P. (dental student's season) is still a douche
• Ali is back on the market
• Frank is not, but doesn't mind Ali chasing him
• Wait? Is this whole segment just a preview for Bachelor Pad 3 (yes it is).
• Breakdancing Mike* (WWT Hall of Famer) wants Jenna Blogger on BP3. (why?)

Let's talk to the ladies from Ben's season

• Blakeley "didn't come to make friends." We all know that. She came to wear onesies. Once she ran out, she was cut.
• There were lots of clips calling Blakeley a stripper and the girls complaining that Blakeley didn't come to be their friends which led to this great quote from B: "I can't be friends with you because I am so mature." Fact. Deal with it.
• Brittney left because she wasn't attracted to Ben. The Dugans' friends that watch the Bachelor with us have come to agree with Brittney during the course of the season.
• Shawntel came back and received a bunch of apologies. I didn't understand why because I didn't see the episode. There was a great line calling Shawntel "Brad's Dumpster Trash." "Oops," later overheard by the future "Ben's Dumpster Trash."
• Samantha got the first, middle and last word on every topic. No one remembers her.

During the entire WTA episode, Mrs. Dugan is complaining about not being able to see (don't worry, resolved later in the blog.)

Rapping Emily

They talk to Emily about her run on the show, her rapping, her feelings for Ben and his skinny-dipping with HB. OH DAMN IT. We had a blond rapper named Emily on the show? Way too late, but she should have been: Eminemily.

Nicki Top 3

• Is she the next Bachelorette?
• Will she go back to Texas and find Brad?
• Should she have been kept to make for any suspense in the finale? Uhh....Yes.

Kacie B.

• The Ronco crowd was crying for/with her. Gag.
• Still shocked she was sent home.
• Boring.
• She's 24 and they are acting like she is an old maid who will never find love. I don't think this show is good for women. Especially pretty ones with low self esteem.

When are we getting to WWT favorite Jenna Blogger and the awkward turtle kissing nurse, Jamie? Never, apparently . . . on to HB. But Mrs. Dugan finally can see: "Oh my god. I'm a moron." Mrs. Dugan had not taken both her contacts out before donning glasses for the show. 

HB Courtney

• The women call her "liar," "vapid," "manipulative," "in it to win it," "mean," "not real," and "split personality."
• Dugan's response: "WINNING!"
• Casey defends her. Who didn't see that coming?
• Mrs. Dugan wanted Courtney to come out with an engagement ring on. Good call.
• This appearance is all about damage control because she obviously wins and is obviously not still with Ben.
• "I cared for him." Oops. Spoiler alert.

Ben comes out

• Not like that.
• I am sick of him. 
• Until next week and the final rose.
