The Bachelorette, Season 10: Finale

I'm sad to say that this is our final points update for this season of the Bachelorette. It was a relatively unexciting season, and I really hope that the next bachelor steps up his dates game. Can we please get some more helicopter rides and hot tub action? Here's how our boys did this week:

Josh: 165 points

• Kissing Andi on the lips (10 points)
• Going on a one on one date (20 points)
• Saying “I love you” to Andi (30 points)
• Giving Andi a gift (letter) (5 points)
• Winning the Final Rose (100 points)

Nick: 125 points

• Talking about an ex-fiance or ex-wife (10 points)
• Giving Andi a gift (5 points)
• Kissing Andi on the lips (10 points)
• Saying “I love you” to Andi (30 points)
• Going on a one on one date (20 points)
• Coming back to the show to beg for another chance (50 points)

We had an 11-way tie for first place for this episode because 11 of us drafted Josh M. on our team. Ashlee was our BIG winner this season with 2,270 points, which just goes to show that you don't have to draft "the chosen one" on your team to swoop up on some points. Selena came in second with 2,120 points, and Ellen came in third with 1,960 points. No one was awarded points for drafting the next bachelor on their team because ABC hasn't announced it yet. I looked at the points, and gaining or missing out on those points wouldn't affect the scoreboard, so I'm crowning the winners of this season before the announcement.

The pot came out to $268.04 after all of the PayPal fees. The payouts are approximately 50% for first place, 35% for second place, and 15% for third place. I rounded up the change for second and third place, and all the rest will go to our big winner. So...Ellen is getting $40, Selena is getting $94, and Ashlee is getting 134.04. Not too shabby, huh?!

We would LOVE to have you join us for the upcoming season of The Bachelor. I am working on some new point categories for next season, so PLEASE submit any ideas you have to peters.est.2012@gmail.com so that I can start a running list. Thanks for playing. See y'all next season!

The Bachelorette, Season 10, Episode 9: Fantasy Suites

Poor Farmer Chris...I was sad to see him go. He's been one of my favorites since day 1 when I read the bios. He wasn't a good fir for Andi, but I think he'd be just perfect for my BFF Selena. Planes fly to Iowa so that I could go visit, right?!

Here's how the points added up this week:

Chris – 90 points (It’s going to be a lonely tractor ride home)

• Being selected to go on a one-on-one date (2o points)
• Kissing Andi on the lips (10 points)
• Going on a picnic (5 points)
• Saying “I love you” to Andi (30 points)
• Crying on camera (25 points)

Josh – 160 points

• Being selected to go on a one-on-one date (2o points)
• Kissing Andi on the lips (10 points)
• Saying “I love you” to Andi (30 points)
• Accepting the Fantasy Suite (75 points)
• Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)

Nick – 190 points

• Being selected to go on a one-on-one date (2o points)
• Kissing Andi on the lips (10 points)
• Riding in a helicopter (1o points)
• Talking about an ex-fiance (10 points)
• Going on a picnic (5 points)
• Giving Andi a gift (5 points)
• Saying “I love you” to Andi (30 points)
• Accepting the Fantasy Suite (75 points)
• Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)

Ashlee's team brought in the most points this week at 280, and there was a three-way tie for second for Selena, Ellen and Kristen's teams, all racking up 250 points each. Ashlee sure lucked out with Nick this season!

For our season overall, Ashlee is in the lead with 2145 points, Selena is in second place with 1955 points, and Ellen is in third place with 1,795 points.

Are you ready for the Men Tell All next week?! It's gonna be a doozy!!!

The Bachelorette, Season 10, Episode 8: Hometowns

Didn't last night's ending just break your heart?! I can completely sympathize with Andi's guilt as she recalled her last conversation with Eric. I loved how Marcus shared his appreciation for his older brother with his brother also. Sometimes, we forget to tell those closest to us how much they mean to us, and we never know when someone will leave our lives. I was happy to see that Andi and the remaining 4 bachelors all met together at Chris Harrison's house to receive the news. There's no good way to segment here, so...

Here's how the points added up this week:

Chris – 45 points

• Kissing Andi (10 points)
• Going on a picnic (5 points)
• Giving Andi a gift (the plane with the banner message) (5 points)
• Getting the rose to stay on another week (25 points)

Josh – 80 points

• Saying “I’m falling in love with her” to the camera (20 points)
• Kissing Andi (10 points)
• Crying on camera (25 points)
• Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)

Marcus – 65 points (time to retire that sailor suit)

• Saying “I love you” to Andi (30 points)
• Kissing Andi (10 points)
• Crying on camera (25 points)

Nick – 85 points

• Saying “I’m falling for you” to Andi (20 points)
• Kissing Andi (10 points)
• Dancing at a concert (5 points)
• Crying on camera (25 points)
• Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)

This week, Ashlee's team scored the most points at 195, and there was a two-way tie for second place at 190 points for Ellen and Selena. For the season overall, Ashlee is STILL in the lead with 1865 points, Selena is trailing just behind her at 1705 points, and there's a two-way tie for third place between Ellen and Jessica, both with 1545 points.

Okay, fantasy suites, let’s see what you've got! Our only hope of taking over the lead next week is having Nick refuse the fantasy suite.

The Bachelorette, Season 10, Episode 7: Pickle Juice

Is that a pickle in your pants, or are you just glad to see me?! I can't believe we're almost at hometown dates! This has been a pretty boring season so far. Andi just wants to EXPLOOOOOOOOORE, so we are really missing out on some hot tub and helicopter points. Nick is the only real drama that's left, but since the guys won't be spending any more time together, I think we've seen the last of it. I hope you all watched last night's episode until the very end. That scene with Brian and pickles was so darn funny! Here's how the gentlemen did last night:

Brian – 30 points (warm up the bus, coach)

• Being selected to go on a group date (10 points)
• Saying “I’m falling for you”  to Andi (20 points)
  • Note: I was waiting for moisture and it never really materialized on his cheeks. Damn you, Brian, I could’ve used those crying on camera points!

Chris – 115 points

• Kissing Andi (10 points)

Overall for the season, Ashlee is in first place with 1670 points, Selena is in second place with 1515 points, and Jessica is in third place with 1400 points. Don't lose hope y'all...we still have The Men Tell All, so your favorite bachelors will return and rack up some more points for you.
