We had my cousins over on Sunday night for some pizza and a game night. It was the last night my brother was in town, too, so we took advantage of that to hang out! It was so much fun! I’m such a sucker for a good game night. I could have one every week and I’d be happy.
———————————————————–
It’s that time! The time for The Bachelor to return, and with it everybody’s favorite: MAN QUOTES! Or… At least my favorite. I seriously was almost more excited for the return of Man Quotes than I was for the actual show itself. Crazy, right? But really, not that crazy because, Man Quotes.
I guess I should give a brief explanation, for anyone who is new around these parts and is just staring at the screen in a state of confusion right about now. Man Quotes are this fun little thing we came up with a few years ago here at Katie Did What, where my husband Zack watches The Bachelor with me and I jot down the silly things he says during the viewing and share them with you here on the blog. They never include spoilers, they are enjoyable even out of context and without having watched the show and they’re just an all around good time. Zack literally always makes me laugh so hard I cry when he watches this show with me, so I thought it was only fair of me to share that happiness with my beloved readers! :)
So this season is one I’ve been particularly excited for, because Chris the Farmer was one of our favorite contestants all of last season! We even totally called that he would be the next bachelor, pretty early on. He has already not disappointed. Alright, let’s get into them, shall we?
———————————————————–
Chris: “I live in a small town in Iowa.”
Zack: Small town… Big ass house. Your house IS the town!
Zack: Oh, we have our first love analogy.
[They’re fishing in a tiny pond]
Zack: What are they fishing in? They could probably just catch those with their hands.
Chris: “We have a pretty good heritage with high quality farmers.”
Zack: He’s looking for another high quality farmer.
[Chris is hanging out in a bar with a table full of older men]
Zack: Check out the rest of the farmers in Iowa… And then there’s Chris.
Zack: Macklemore in the house!
Nikki: “I don’t quit” (referring to her relationship with Juan Pablo)
Zack: Don’t get a relationship with this girl! “Sit down! We’re not done here!”
Katie: Britt’s got great hair and she’s really pretty…
Zack: Yeah, but that hug? Things just got real awkward.
Girl: “It’s not a real heart. It’s just a joke.”
Zack: That’s good, cus you’d be in jail if it was.
Zack: Claire! Sacramento in the house!!
Girl: “It’s like Christmas morning, except your presents are girls.”
Katie: Did she really just say that?!
A note on Chris the farmer: He. Is. Hilarious. His commentary and one-liners are just ON POINT. Example: “I wish I was a polygamist right now.” Best. Bachelor. Ever.
OUR TOP THREE PICKS:
Me- Jade, Kaitlyn, Tracy (Honorary mention: Becca)
Zack- Britt, Tracy, Jade
Yeah, they’re similar picks, but you know. We’ll seeeeee what happens. That preview was INTENSE. So many emotions. So many tears. So much drama. I. Can’t. Wait.
A few things:
1. I want Britt’s hair. It’s amazing.
2. Chris picked all the crazy super drunk girls. I’m questioning his judgment here…
3. I only liked a handful of the dresses. I just don’t get the need to dress like it’s prom. No.
4. Kaitlyn was hilarious and I hope she sticks around a long time. Her jokes were perfect and she actually seems normal, so there’s that.
Any thoughts to add?

p.s. Don’t forget! Man Quotes will be posted every Tuesday! Share with your Bachelor loving friends! :)
Somehow I got sucked into watching this last night… Haha. While I’ve enjoyed past Bachelor seasons, I feel like they just get worse and worse with each season! While Kaitlyn had a spunky and feisty personality, which may be a good match for Chris, I thought she was a little too crude with her jokes at times. I love the down to earth, genuine, confident gals that have a good sense of humor and aren’t dramatic. Jade and Tracy were my top two favorites!
Ha! I do agree, Kaitlyn was pretty crude, but I think it was just nerves? We shall see… I thought she seemed really genuine and real, unlike some of the girls! And no matter what, I just can’t quit the Bachelor, regardless of how bad it gets. ;)
xo
Haha, I don’t even watch the Bachelor anymore, I just follow Zack’s comments and I feel all caught up! :)
Haha that’s so awesome! Zack’s quotes are better anyway! ;)
xo
Yay, can’t wait for the rest of the season!!! Love man quotes. :) I really liked Britt and Jade too… there were so many girls though! Hard to keep track of who’s who. Very shocked he picked the two drunkies. lol
Awww I’m so glad you love man quotes!! :) And yeah, the drunk girls being picked was a big WTF moment, ha!
xo
shoot i missed it! but glad to have these posts back!!! yesss
Haha you didn’t miss too much, although this season actually looks like it’s going to be GOOOOD!
xo
Such pretty girls this season and I definitely think Britt will make it to the finals. I love that he called the house the town…because that seems about right. I saw in a magazine that Chris is actually a millionaire because his family farm is one of those huge, successful conglomerates. Also, I almost peed my pants when he said, “I’ve never missed a harvest before.”
Seriously, there are so many pretty girls!! And yeah, that makes sense, that house was freaking HUGE! And the harvest part was hilarious!
xo
This is awesome! and I love Chris, farmers all the way! Im so excited for this season, Bachelor Fan over here *handsoverface. I definitely agree with the girls you and Zach picked!
I wonder what will happen with that girl in the white dress that Chris let go and then came walking back in!!
Yesss go farmers! :) They totally made her come back for dramatic purposes, although I feel like Chris is just WAY too nice and will probably let her stay! He let the drunkies stay, after all, haha!
xo
At the beginning of the episode my husband and I kept questioning why Chris is still single. By the end of the rose ceremony with his drunk girl selection, we confidently know why he is still single. Poor judgment, bad taste, call it what you will, but c’mon Chris! Oh well, we still love him and are Team Chris through and through. Here’s to another great season of watching The Bachelor with our husbands. There’s just nothing better!
Haha yeah, you nailed it. Christ has terrible taste apparently. I guess we’ll see if that gets better! And I agree, there is nothing better! We have pretty awesome husbands! ;)
xo
I feel like I should watch since I live in Iowa and his hometown is super close to where my husband grew up. I think I’ll just read your man quotes instead ;)
Haha, hey that works for me! ;) Man Quotes are better than watching the actual show, anyway!
xo
I just watched MOST of the episode tonight. I watch it on Hulu Plus so I have to wait until the next day AND then I had to leave for work RIGHT before the rose ceremony. Britt and Kaitlyn are currently my favorite but of course, that could change! I also watch this with my bf and I really should be writing down his commentary. And Mine, actually. haha.
Love your “man quotes”!
Yeah, I think this year’s Man Quotes will definitely be more of a mixture of mine and Zack’s, because let’s be honest, I have some pretty awesome commentary, too. ;) Isn’t it so much more fun with commentary?!
xo
Oh my goodness, I am so excited that this has started again! I LOVED Chris! He was my absolute favourite! I don’t know why, but I like Kaitlyn just from her photo…but I guess that’s kinda the point ;) Sucked in allllll the way from New Zealand. America really does have some pulling power ;)
Haha yeah, the girls are super pretty this year! But you’re right: that’s totally the point. So cool that you’re in New Zealand- that is one of my top places I want to visit!! It’s so beautiful!
xo
“I wish I was a polygamist right now.” Definitely the best bachelor ever!! He is hilarious! Looks like a pretty intense season!
Haha right?! Hi-larious!!! Zack was like, “Well. I can’t do man quotes with Chris because he’s genuinely funny and beat me to it.”
xo
So funny. After Kaitlyn’s trashy introduction, I couldn’t stand her and nothing she said seemed humerus after that.
Aww yeah, I think she was just nervous and wanted something that would be memorable. And hey, it worked? Haha but we’ll see. Hopefully she’ll continue to be down to earth and a bit less trashy!
xo
Is NO ONE going to mention the 21 year old that didn’t know what alfalfa was? And then just awkwardly asked if it was organic?
LMAO I totally forgot about that! Yeaaaaah, alfalfa is… organic… :/ That was really awkward. Chris was just like “…….”
