Well the time has come for my favorite part of the season, "The Christie's Favorite Things" episode if you will, otherwise known as The Women Tell All. ABC gives us one last look at Jason's rejects and gives them one last chance to make fools of themselves.

The episode begins with a touching one on one interview with Chris Harrison as he points out to Jason all the different ways he has embarrassed himself on this show, followed by another look at the relationship that just won't die...Trista and Ryan. I'm surprised they don't have a catchy little nickname by now like TRYAN...to hold onto their 15 minutes of fame for ten more years! I do have to admit that their kid, Max, is pretty freaking cute, but I'm struggling to see how Trista's opinion is still relevant.

I was shocked to see that Charlie and Sarah are back together. It's nice that ABC has managed to bring together at least 2 couples in 13 seasons of The Bachelor and 4 seasons of The Bachelorette. In fact, ABC is trying so hard to be the next "TV Harmony" that they brought together the rejected men and women from past seasons for a full on Pimps and Ho's Weekend in Vail, which apparently spawned several romantic relationships. So...maybe they'll get another wedding after all.

Finally, after an hour of filler, ABC manages to bring out the ladies for their exclusive tell all. Jillian was by far the fan favorite, receiving a standing ovation from several ladies in the audience...and was it just me or did some of the ladies look like they'd packed on a few pounds since the show? I think most of them go on crash diets and starve themselves getting ready for the show and then fall off the wagon the second they drive away in the limo. Don't get me wrong, most of them are still beautiful, but there was a lot of bad hair, caked on makeup and cheap jewelry in that line up. I wanted to snag that sour cherry ball necklace off Shannon's neck. She's just crazy enough to have made it herself out of dental floss.

Natalie was the first to get her shot in the hot seat. In her ever so casual tank and jeans, Natalie tries really hard to dispel any myths about her being superficial. She proceeds to tell everyone how terribly it was for her to go without her IPOD and Blackberry all those many weeks and gives Chris Harrison the perfect opportunity to throw the superficial card back in her face. The girl has no idea who she really is and though I'm quite sure that most of the women were hard on her because they WERE a little intimidated by her, overall I think she pretty much deserved everything she got. You can wear those 2 dollar bracelets all day long honey...you're still a spoiled little girl waiting around for some poor sucker to give you what you've always wanted, a black American Express Card.

Jillian tried to hold it together as she sat down with Chris Harrison to relive every painful moment of her relationship with Jason. I can't imagine what it must be like to sit there and watch a montage of every romantic moment you've ever shared with someone, followed by the gut wrenching blow off. Jillian made it very clear that she truly fell in love with Jason and believed that she had "the cat in the bag". Chris Harrison then pointed out the fact that Jason basically gave her the friend card. Frankly, if I were Jillian, I would have said, "He wasn't acting like much of a friend in the hot tub now was he". Friends with benefits maybe, but his actions would have given any girl the wrong idea.

My favorite part was when Jillian describes Jason as 70% mustard and 20% ketchup. I'm not sure what happened to the other 10%, but I'm pretty sure it's CHEESE. Not only did the crowd rally around her, but Chris even hinted about Jillian being the next Bachelorette, at which point the camera pans to capture the not so enthusiastic looks from all the other ladies...like yeah for her...not.

After the break, Jason comes out to face the firing squad and tries to make everyone believe that he's actually excited to be there, which is a load of crap. No guy wants to sit down in front of 23 ex-girlfriends at once. Jillian chose to take the high road and let Jason know that she had accepted his decision, but was a little miffed that he didn't acknowledge that she actually received the first kiss and instead led Melissa to believe that she was the first one.

Naomi was able to apologize for the dove burial incident in her back yard and we all got a nice shot of Lauren's left boob conveniently framed behind Naomi's head. I'm sure she didn't know that most of her boob and her bra were showing, but I'm not surprised that the other ladies failed to point it out to her. I mean she did throw them under the bus. What better revenge than to let her embarrass herself on national television.

They finished everything off with a blooper reel and a side by side comparison of the final two...Melissa and Molly. Who's it going to be? Rumor has it that he picks Melissa, but then dumps her for Molly after the show airs...it could actually be the MOST UNBELIEVABLE SEASON FINALLY EVER! Don't miss it!

Even with "Women Tell All", Christie has done it again. The boob-in-the-background stuff was hilarious. And not just because the nights get really cold here in Fort Yates, North Dakota, if you know what I mean!

Is it really going to be the most exciting,
unbelievable ending of all time? Can't wait to see it, and to read your blog.

Keep up the fantastic work.
