Highlight #1 - First five minutes of this season equaled every girl and woman's dream - Brad Womack - who is pretty easy on the eyes - not only shirtless, but also admitting his commitment issues, the neglect of his father, his own desire to be a dad, his admission of being in therapy for three years, and finally being ready to fall in love - and all in an easy Southern drawl. I mean, come on - seriously?? The Bachelor just doesn't get any better than this!Highlight #2 - DeAnna Pappas clearly hasn't gotten over being dumped on national TV. She looked like she was ready to strangle Brad - despite her having "moved on" and being engaged to one of the Stagliano twins AND a previous 20/20 special in which she and Brad already had a "reunion". Oh the joys of staged reality TV, how I love thee and your made-up drama!
Highlight #3 - Ashley the dentist making a fool of herself by dancing around in her underwear and oversized shirt for her 10-second spot in the "Get to know random facts about these poor bachelorettes" segment.
Highlight #4 - Madison the model who ends up having - FANGS!!! I mean seriously!? (And a kudos to Kristen Baldwin for making the Hot Topic reference in her recap - that was genius!)
Highlight #5 - It's a tie between the pillow that went over my face when the girl gets out of the limo and said "catch me!" and then proceeded to run and jump into Brad's arms, or the girl who rolled down the limo window, held out her hand, and insisted that Brad come get her out of the limo.
Highlight #6 - The fashion "marketer" 's hot pink wedges with her strapless black dress. I don't know if it was highlight or an identity crisis, because in theory, I, out of all the people on this planet, should be the most supportive of a girl wearing bright pink wedges. But, ohmygosh, I don't think I've ever seen more hideous shoes on primetime television, except for maybe some shoes on "What Not to Wear". I just don't see how someone in fashion could choose those shoes - with that dress! Am I alone in this??
Highlight #7 - Scarlett O'Hara - oh, whoops, I mean Emily from Charlotte, NC - sad story was tragic. But the highlight of it for me was figuring out that the "Ricky" that she was "engaged" or in a full-time relationship with and had his kid after he died in a plane crash, was none other than Ricky Hendricks, the up and coming NASCAR driver in 2004, son of Rick Hendricks, who operates one of the bigger racing teams in NASCAR. Now, how did I figure that out? I wish I could relate the way that random facts interact and coagulate in my brain - I really do, because then I would have a greater understanding of myself. But if you google it, you will see that I am right.
Highlight #8 - Not really a highlight, but more of an annoyance. I cannot STAND the rockette, Keltie!! There is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it was the way that she was trying to drum up drama when that poor girl in the blue prom dress kept getting pushed away from her one-on-one time with Brad. But either way, there's just something about her that I found really annoying. I hope she is gone soon (with my luck, that won't be the case).
Highlight #9 - The highlights from the upcoming season revealing to me the lifelong dream I never knew that I had - Seal, singing live and acoustically, to me, "A Kiss On a Rose", through my television screen. I can only hope that Heidi Klum will be somewhere in the wings to tell the hapless bachelorette on that date (because you know it will be one of those do or die bachelorette dates where they get sent home) to say "Auf Wiedersehen".
Highlight #10 - Chris Harrison's presence once again gracing my television screen. Four months is just too long Chris - it's just too long!!
How about you - what were some of your favorite highlights from the 21st season of The Bachelor/ette franchise??!! PLEASE let me know :)

Hi-LAR-ious!
I know you have a full time job and volunteer with Young Life and have a family and friends and other things pulling for your attention ---- but how long is a girl supposed to wait for a new Bachelor update? I look forward to your recap nearly as much as I look forward to the show. Please, please get to to work. I'm speaking on behalf of your people.
