This weekend was so lovely! The weather was beautiful, and we soaked up the sun as much as possible. We ran on Friday (we’re on week 6 of Couch 2 5k! Woo!) and hit up a garage sale in the neighborhood, which is always fun. Saturday we went to Zack’s brother’s house to visit and Sunday we walked around my old campus and just enjoyed being outside and together before watching 7 hours of Oscar footage (why is it so long?!) Anyway, if you missed my picks for Best and Worst Dressed, be sure to read them here!
And now, it’s Bachelor time. Last night was the Fantasy Suites! Hoo boy! See last week’s quotes HERE!
Katie [when they’re in Bali]: We’re not in Arlington anymore!
Zack: Kaitlyn brought her long shorts for this date… The winner of the Bachelor!
Katie: Kaitlyn’s shorts!
Kaitlyn: “Everybody’s so nice here.”
Katie: It’s because your shorts are so short.
Kaitlyn: “I definitely wish I could be more like a monkey.”
Zack: Try eating more bananas.
Zack [when Chris and Kaitlyn start kissing]: I thought they weren’t supposed to kiss!
Katie: No, that’s when they were in the temple. They’re not in temple anymore. They’re monkeys.
Zack: Oh, yeah. Monkeys can kiss.
Chris: “We’re both really vulnerable right now.”
Zack: Well, you more than me because I’ve got two side pieces.
Chris: “Everything you’re saying, I hear.” [Deep sigh]
Katie: I’m just so drunk right now.
Kaityln: “I’ve opened up to you more than I have opened up to anyone.”
He’s like “Really? That’s not very much.”
Kaitlyn: “I’m falling in love with you.”
Katie: And the classic Bachelor make out response.
Zack: Silence!
Kaitlyn: “And I got to hear those words back…”
Zack: Wait. What words back did you hear? Did we miss something?!
[Whitney runs and wraps her legs around Chris]: WHOA, girl. Wanna be more like a monkey, Kaitlyn? Just be Whitney.
Chris: “We’re going on a boat in the Indian Ocean today!”
[Later, while on the boat] Whitney: “I wonder where we are right now…”
Zack: Uh. You’re in the Indian Ocean. I thought we went over this already.
Whitney: “This date could have been 100% perfect and it was only 99%.”
Katie: Uh oh! She’s a perfectionist!
Chris: “I think when the time is right she’ll give me her blessing.”
Katie: Whatttt. He said “when” not “if!”
[They pan up to the boat captain guy, while Chris and Whitney are kissing] Zack: “I hope that they let me into the Fantasy Suite!”
Chris: “I spend a lot of time alone, being by myself.”
Zack: Looking at my fields. Playing tractor.
Whitney: “I’d be ready to leave my career and have babies, and that would be my career.”
Zack: Girl, you’re saying all the right things!
Whitney: “At this point I can’t picture anything setting us back.”
Katie: Except for those pesky two other women.
Chris: “I know that I’m falling in love with you.”
Katie: He’s just telling everyone I’m falling in love with you.
Chris [about Becca]: “It’s time to get to know each other on a whole different level.”
Katie: Well… No. It’s not.
Chris: “And I um…”
Katie: He never finishes his senteneces.
Zack: That’s because everyone keeps making out with him.
[Chris starts crying because he likes all the girls so much] Katie sings: Cry me a riverrrr
Chris Harrison: “How are you?”
Chris: “Good as I’ll ever be.”
Katie: Gee, how convincing.
Chris Harrison: “What you said there is huge. You can see yourself spending the rest of your life with all three. You have THAT strong of feelings for all three of these women.”
Katie: Chris Harrison is NOT buying it.
Chris Harrison: “This is hollowed ground. One of the most sacred temples in Bali.”
Zack: So we’re going to ruin it.
Zack: That girl has too much makeup on.
Katie: Which one?
Zack: The blonde girl.
Katie: “The blonde girl?!” We’re at the final three and you don’t know her name??
Chris: “This decision I’m about to make is going to be excruciating.” [deep sigh]
Zack: …He just passes out.
Final thoughts: OKAY THEN. WELL. Kaitlyn for Bachelorette!!!

Kaitlyn was my favourite from the very beginning when she swore during her greeting to him when she got out of the limo. I thought he was going to pick Whitney but now I am not so sure, he seems to really be torn up about Becca! I can’t wait to see how this plays out!
Katie
YES. Kaitlyn was my favorite from the beginning too! She’s just awesome.

I called this one at the beginning of the episode – I knew he wasn’t as into kaitlyn as he was the other two. She was only around because she had a great family last week!
Katie
She did have an awesome family!

Katie

Oooh I can’t wait!! On Ellen yesterday I was extra confused because here is how he described the 3 girls left: Kaitlyn=firecracker Whitney=a mom ((??) and Becca=the whole package. Hmmmmm… Rallying for my Chicago girl but is think he’s hung up on Becca…
Katie
Hmmm the whole package?! That’s a bold statement right there! Stilllll think he picks Whitney, because she is SO set on the Iowa lifestyle… We’ll see!

I love your Bachelor quotes! SO funny! My house hosts anywhere between 10-15 girls every Monday night to watch the Bachelor. We take turns cooking and its really fun.
Do you think Chris Harrison practices certain facial expressions in the mirror prior to filming? I always wonder, does he stand in front of the mirror and say, “okay, look concerned, look happy, look shocked…” You get the point, but seriously, does he ever say anything other than the SUPER obvious?!?!
