The Bachelorette 2 Recap: Eat, Drink and Be Kinda Married

The Bachelorette season premiere  last week, the stakes were even higher this week as Ashley Hebert cut her field of suitors down to 15 from 18.

Did she thrive in her element? How did she handle the pressure of the first one-on-one dates?  Is she even cuter than we thought? Who got the chop?

Follow this link for The Bachelorette spoilers that we know so far. Then continue on for THG’s patented +/- Bachelorette season premiere recap!

Of all the perks that come with recapping The Bachelor, probably the coolest aspect is how this year, they managed to schedule episodes on Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day AND the Fourth of July! Weird that they missed Christmas and my birthday, since it’s such a GIFT to get to write this on a holiday. In honor of Memorial Day, this recap is dedicated to the troops. Thank you for protecting our American freedoms, like the freedom to act like goons on reality dating shows. Speaking of which…

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN THIS RECAP UNTIL THE END OF THE INTERNET:

Jeff is still wearing his mask. And you thought he couldn’t look stupider than he did the first night! Then you saw the mask in the daytime, with a sweatshirt and dumb-ass beanie — an even more wildly inappropriate ensemble with which to don a formal, flowery black mask! Who’s stupid NOW?!

Ashley chooses William to go on a coveted one-on-one date in Vegas. Plus 4 for the good choice by the producers. He seems like a good pick.

Their awesome dating adventure? Cake tasting, ring shopping, then wedded bliss! Sort of. Minus 3 because it’s getting a little uncomfortable.

“To me, it’s a joke, it’s not going to happen,” he insists as a minister arrives to perform the ceremony. Good call, Will. Very astute. Plus 5.
