Bachelor Post-Show Hangover: “Sméagol, Ranger Rick & The Italian Job”

The Bachelor – Episode 7 Recap
You’ll never look at cookies the same way again. Or bananas. Or, perhaps, even the nation of Italy. Hunter, Cush and Kerry are all kindsa fired about Victoria F. In fact, after watching Peter get walked out on – and still give the girl a rose – for the fourth time, the team is ready to say Victoria F-U to this entire Bachelor season.

But not before we take a close look at our own – well, mainly Hunter’s – deep-seated relationships wounds, mean girl Victoria F’s (paid actor) family – and Pilot Pete’s inability to chop wood (winky wink), reenact Hunter’s earliest gig in radio, witness a shouty marriage debate between the guys and blow up the spot of an undeserving European who’s just looking for a little love… in the wrong place.

Is it on topic? Mm-n-almost. Is it real? Unlike Victoria F’s “feelings,” yes. At this point, the triggers are too many for us to focus on anything but replenishing Hunter’s Truly stash and getting through the season, so we can see Tammy and Natasha in Paradise.

Part 1: “Sméagol

Part 2: “Ranger Rick

 

Part 3: “The Italian Job

 

The accuracy ratings update:

Kerry Hunter Cush
73% 93% 65%

And our predictions for next week. Motivations vary, but the team’s predictions are, for the first time, unanimous. Victoria F. just might be going all the way:

Kerry Hunter Cush
Hannah Ann Hannah Ann Hannah Ann
Victoria F. Victoria F. Victoria F.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
