Bachelor

Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon (Hopefully)

Jake Meets the Bachelorettes' Families - Ali pulls an Ed and tells Jake she'll be fired if she doesn't go back to work. Jake pretends to leave it up to her, but when it seems like she's not going to give up her job, he urges her to stay. Not cool, not fair, not realistic, not at all supportive. What is wrong with people?

I Lost My Lunch in San Francisco

Jake Spends a Week in San Francisco - How do you make the dates seem even more pointless than normal? Remove the possibility of elimination from the equation.

Plenty of Cheese with the Wine

Trip Up the Coast of California - The show takes a Rock of Love: Bus turn this week (not as awesome as it sounds) that ends in a lot of Vienna disparagement and Jake improvising by sending about 19 women home in an epic Rose Ceremony BLOODBATH (again, not as awesome as it sounds).

Unfunny People

Jake Takes One Woman Bungee Jumping - Jake wets his pants over going bungee jumping with Vienna, and then they spend the next eight days congratulating each other for being awesome. The women get some comedy tips from Jon Lovitz, who then talks about his crotch.

Roz for Termination

The Women Move Into The Mansion - The dates include flying, an amusement park, and the band Chicago being exhumed for a private concert. And then an inappropriate staffer enters into Rozlyn.

Landing Strip

Season 14 Premiere - The airplane puns are out of control, and Jake has a strong aversion to shirts. Welcome to the new season of The Bachelor.

Good Golly, Miss Molly

After the Final Rose Pt. 2 - I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book, so don't sit there and think you're off of the hook by saying there is no point changing 'cause that's just what you are.

Don't Let the Bastard Grind You Down

After the Final Rose Pt. 1 - Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address of everyone I've ever kissed; there's nothing I regret.

Melissa, Will You Be My Fiancée for a Little While?

Jason Brings His Son to New Zealand - Jason and his final two head to New Zealand, and Jason agonizes over making his choice -- but not before DeAnna shows up to throw a monkey wrench into the works. Man, ABC managed to keep a lid on THAT twist, didn't they? Jason picks Melissa. For now, anyway.

With Friends Like You, Who Needs Friends?

The Women Tell All - And now it's time for my favorite part of the season, the -- what's that say? "The Women Tell All"? Ugh, this is always death.
