Emily Episoide 6: Confession

Hello, Readers.  I have to confess that I've been traveling for work in addition to moving into a swanky new pad here in Austin, Texas.  Since I just got my cable back on Tuesday, I haven't even watched the show.  That's a first in blog history.  I will watch and write tonight, although you're all likely to be Bacheloretted out by the time I post.  I'll post as soon as possible.  Remember, time flies like the wind but fruit flies like bananas.

  1. DP - you HAVE to watch this episode and blog it. It is the MOST DRAMATIC episode of the Bachelorette ever. You will LOVE it, and I cannot wait to read what you have to say about it.

  2. I haven't had time to watch it either. I hope it's as good as some are saying. Congrats on the new pad!

  3. DP, You're adorable. Just sayin!
    I bet your swanky pad is super class, with a touch of Tex.

    Cant wait to hear what you have to say about the man slaughter, the v-necks, and of course our darling best Bach-ette ever Ms.Em!

  4. Hopefully you will type your little heart out tonight! Eagerly waiting for your take on last Monday's show! I happen to be really great at moving, I would have had your cable connected before you officially moved in! If I wasn't in NY I'd come help you unpack!!!! ;)

  6. It was a good episode! Can't wait it hear what you think about a certain tank top worn by our favorite smarmy used car salesman! MJ in Dallas

  7. This was a good one - bravo to Emily for asking tough questions and dismissing guys she doesn't connect with in such a polite way ... class act on that part in that she clearly lets them know they are great but no connection. The only comment I have to add is did you see the size of Sean's shoes ... no wonder he's a front-runner!

  8. White tank top...that's all I'm sayin'

  9. As they say at L'Oreal, "[I can wait] "because you're worth it." Before you see the show, lemme tell you it is a doozy. As one who knows hussies Em's sharp as a tack. I do wish the gang would go to [Greek] southern Macedonia while they' seem to be on an eastern European tour. There are a lot of places on Mt. Olympus for a Fantasy suite, like say Zeus' master bedroom with a god-sized bed.

    So have an "Awesome" "Amazing" "Journey." [gag me] and I'm anticipating your reactions soon.

    XOXO, U-No-Which Hussy.

  10. You are so cute, you should be the next bachelor! I love reading your blog - such a quick, sharp wit!

  11. Can you touch on the fact why less people are tuning in this year? What is your theory? I heard it's record low ratings. It is actually such a great season.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Can you touch on Ryan's facial hair?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Pat says; These requests are cracking me up! You are like a guru, DP!

  14. All I can say is--Arie kissig Emily against the wall is SMOKIN'!! swooooon!!!!!

  15. Oh heck......I really liked Ryan. I think he's a bad boy wanna be. Probably thought that would be the way to stand out.

  16. You're worth the wait... sj

  17. To Denise in Alabama and anyone who missed episodes: You can watch full episodes on ABC (just google ABC watch Bachelorette episodes or something like that. I forgot but I was able to find it. The only pain is we are periodically interrupted by one stupid commercial but the whole episode is there. You don't need to sign in or anything. I missed one episode (#4) and found it.

  19. We've gone from support to outright hostility and now to sheer boredom. If I was doing anything but my best I'd feel guilty. I'm TRYING! DP

    1. You have unleashed the beast my friend, and he is always hungry. I took a five hour break from lounging around a pool to do mine. You've got it rougher, but it's the price of building such a rabid fan base.

      We all await your classy snark.

  20. I was just going to say that you don't owe us (your readership) anything! You do this for fun. Our drab and dreary lives lead us to clamor after anything bright or funny (you are both)! So we are addicted to this blog. But you are entitled to have a busy week or two without all of us slitting our wrists:)

    ReplyDelete
  21. While we are waiting for DP to get his post ready, I suggest a game...let's come up with the the silliest or grossest or funniest moments from this week's episodes. I'll start...
    I thought it was super funny when all the guys in the house had their hoodies pulled up! Who does that? Especially every guy in a room with a hoodie? Were they messing with us? My husband and my son, both, would NEVER pull their hooded sweatshirt up on their head and wear it like that indoors. The only time they would wear it like that would be if they were outside in the rain.

  22. Some Guy, it's okay ... but I do now kind of understand a "crack-head" addiction. Gotta have it!

  23. DP, don’t worry about it. Most of us know how hard it is to cope with everything that gets thrown at us professionally and personally. It seems to me that you do an outstanding job in keeping things in their place. This is just a TV show recap, not that important in the grand scheme of things. I admit that reading whatever you write is always a highlight of my week and I miss it when you’re not able to post. Unfortunately, part of being an adult means having to do what is required of us and not what we want and not whining about it. Maybe you can do a longer post next week to include both episodes and if not, no problem. We’ll still be here when you can. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend in your new swanky pad!

  24. Ryans facial hair was the Silliest, Grossest, and Funniest moment.
    That and the fact that he thought he could "schmooz" Em into wanting to continue to persue him.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Come on...it's Friday. Please get your act together.

  26. Grossest moments:
    Ryan's Beard Fangs!
    Ryan's Blue Suede Shoes!
    Ryan's feminine wife beater!
    In short...Ryan!

    ReplyDelete
  27. What were thinking trying to move in the middle of a Bachelorette season?! It's all about scheduling... ;-)

    Seriously - don't worry about it. Of course I'd love to see the recap! I keep checking back a couple of times a day. ;-) But it *is* just a TV show recap. Don't stress - we'll still be here next week!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Some Guy, we know you'll be back when you can, but WHAT are we going to do without Awesomely Bad Ryan around??? What if Fleiss makes him the next bachelor--for ratings, of course. No!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Although I am among those looking forward to your post, DP, I must admit that these reply posts are priceless and well worth reading. These deserve kudos as well (don't they, DP?).

    For what it is worth, anyway, in my opinion, the funniest is by one of us anonomi, which comes out a kind of haiku! "Grossest Moments: Ryan's beard fangs![.......]in short, Ryan!"

    (Does Ryan gauge masculinity by how much hair he can grow in a day and how much of a nether-orifice he can be on TV in front of millions? Or he is simply a clueless member of DENSA?)

    Annnyyyhooo, next Denise in Alabama's second post above echoes my sentiments.

    Almost tied with her is the warm comment to you above by "Pat&#39's Pithy Page" -- spot on! Keep it up, commenters, many of you are gifted and becoming famous too. I enjoy reading y'all's comments.

    P.S. DP, I see most if not all of us are gals & as you can see we really think you're grand! You really are SOME guy. The M. Hussy (having a Corona in Calif--no Lone Star here)

  30. By the time you write it- you will have read all the other blogs. I notice when you are late you take from other blogs. Already read greenbeans so just please be original. Not saying you are the only one who does it. You obviously aren't getting paid to do this so you can even skip it. Life changes and you can always change your mind.

  32. Anon, criticism is one thing but accusing me of plagiarism is another. I can unequivocally represent that I read no other bach blogs except Barbaross and Green Beans and I NEVER read them before I post. Lincee and I, in fact, have an agreement that we don't talk about or read each other until after we have posted. Any repetitive material is entirely coincidental. I'm late this week because of the move and my job. I have a death case that I'm focused on. The family prefers my concentration. I'll post as soon as I can. If I can't then I'll make it up to you. If I'm correct, I've missed one post other post in almost 4 years of doing this. DP

    1. Wow, some people seem to think they're entitled to be your first priority!!!
      Hope your case goes well for you as well as the family. We miss you but your real life has to come first!!

  33. Dear Anonymous-
    Your post is too ridiculous to honor with a response.

    DP- I love your originality, and your intelligence shines through your writing. Thank you for taking time out of your life to humor us. I have a funny fact on Travis. He went to college with a close friend of mine who told me that Trav would bring girls home and wake up at like 4 a.m. to fix his hair before getting back in bed pretending to be asleep. HAHA!

    Also, I don't get the Arie attraction. I know softball players with more testosterone!

    Team DP!!!

  34. One of the funniest things I noticed were Aries rainbow striped socks when the guys were sitting around waiting for Ryan to go. Anyone see those?!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Anon - Really, why would anybody want to plagiarize when writing a Bachelorette recap blog? As someone said above, that's too ridiculous to even comment further. I hate that I have to use "Anonymous" as a sign-in here, as I don't really want to associate with your "Anonymous"!

    DP - As others have said, life and work have a way of getting in the way of our fun, sad but true. Sorry to hear about your death case, definitely more important than the Bach. As many have said, we love your sense of humor, puts a smile on our faces and makes us laugh out loud in an otherwise ho-hum work day, and gives all of us a common bond of watching this train wreck of a show. You certainly owe none of us an apology. You do this as a hobby, for FUN. Anybody who doesn't get that probably shouldn't even be reading your blog in the first place.

  36. Beard Fangs!! Awesome!!
    DP, can't wait to see what you have to say :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Funniest moment for me was when Ryan was saying how shocked and sad everyone would be when was going home and they were giving each other high fives. He really is in love with himself. He reminds me of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Emily is, of course, Belle. Their dinner setting looked right out of the movie. Jef is the Beast, after he becomes the handsome prince again.

    F, marry, kill. Arie is F. Jef is marry. Kalon is kill.

  39. Give poor DP a break, some of you. Employment responsibilities often take top spot on our priority list whether we like it or not. I am sure DP is itching to post and is frustrated that he can't get to it. I've spent the past several weekends grading papers, much to the disappointment of my poor kids, who have been wanting to get to the beach or park. It kills me. DP, maybe you should just skip a week, or double up next week and cover two weeks in one post.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ah this schtick. Emily, the Wannabe Disney Princess, and the great Bromance.
    Moving is the pits. Hope your new classy digs makes up for the hassle. How about a blog on your move rather than this snoozer? Bet you could find humor in anything. See you when we do.

    ReplyDelete
  41. A blog on your move would be more interesting...I'm about ryan'd out by now...not much you could add at this point. I must confess I checked in with Reality Steve and Green Beans 'cause I needed my 'fix'. Of course your post would have been more clever, but take a break this week and enjoy your new place!

    ReplyDelete
  42. OMG!! Love the Ryan/Gaston reference but Ryan TOTALLY reminds us of Uncle Ricco from "Napoleon Dynamite"!! Still caught up in the glory days of high school football and overly obsessed with his appearance! Give it a break, dude!

    Missin' you, Some Guy, but totally understand your real life takes priority!

  43. DP with juggling your balls last week and moving this week, no wonder we are patiently waiting for anything fun from you. I hope the trial doesn't consume you so that can't take time for a little mindless Bachelorette watching to ease the serious legal stuff.
    When you do get to watch this episode (and you will want to to see what the posters are talking about) can't wait to see your reaction to the total doucheness of Ryan's beard. I have never seen anything quite like that plus the tank top he had on was hilarious. I am sure he thought he was God's gift to women sitting in that thing. Thank goodness Emily saw through his smugness and tossed him to the curb. Watch out ladies in Augusta -Ryan is back on the market.
    Hope you can get some balance to your life soon-we miss reading you!

  44. WOW! Hard to read some of the selfish comments that you have endured this week. Your "real life" got in the way - they are upset. So, are they upset that you didn't post, or are they upset that they don't have a "real life"? You are always icing on my Bach cake - you are appreciated.

    Af far as my thoughts on the show? Wow - where to start! I think Ryan's disbelief in being dismissed was the best part. :)

  45. So you're juggling your balls? No wonder you're too busy to blog. Good luck with your move, etc.

  46. A picture of Ryan in his white t-shirt and beard fangs can be found on the internet--i think he would be quite entertaining as the next Bach.

    ReplyDelete
  47. This little measly post generated as many comments as last weeks???...49(that is until my new comment pushes the new total to 50) and 5 more than the week before. What is wrong with people??? I, for one, would like for you to get your priorities straight and post a recap. You ruined last week for me by deserting your duties and this week is off to another unfulfilling start. I like the SLF in your life and am glad to see you are spending more time together, so you get a pass there. But if your job/travel keeps interferring with the blog you might have to seek alternate employment opportunities and consider working for the state or some other career outside of the private sector, so you can cut back on the hours and travel time. There is more to life than fancy homes, slick clothes and big swimming pools, DP. There is nothing more important than the blog. Learn it, live it, love it.
