ALSO: can we talk about the double dose of Bachelorettes? Becca put it best in a tweet last night:
Throw us a frickin’ bone here, ABC. Okay, here are the points from last night’s finale.
Bonus Points for Having Drafted the Next Bachelorette
Don’t forget to check back in with us before the Bachelorette: 2 Hot 2 Handle kicks off, and tell your Bach-lovin’ friends about us, too. Thanks so much for playing along. It’s been a pleasure!
Nothing was really clarified, though. I don’t think Kaitlyn, Britt, or Jade got the closure they were hoping for from Chris. Carly emerged as a pseudo-villain. Ashley S., fresh off her onion farm, pranced around the stage. I’d love to get her going on a “9/11 was an inside job” rant. Kelsey cemented her role as the least sympathetic widow in the history of television. Chris Harrison wrote a romance novel (?) that I’d only consider buying to be ironic.
In other words, it was classic Bach.
Remember, these points are optional, and you can choose in your league if you want to award them to your teams post mid-season draft or from episode 1.

We’ve decided to only award points to the contestants belonging to each team AFTER the mid-season draft. Some of you pointed out that it seems like we’re punishing people who drafted well (i.e. have Whitney and Becca remaining on their teams and thus don’t have an opportunity to score as many points in the Women Tell All). We’re actually hoping that this gives teams who aren’t doing as well a chance to catch up and make the finale even more exciting in your leagues.
If you disagree, feel free to award points to the original teams you drafted. Talk to your commissioner and just make sure you’re all on the same page.
Onto the fun stuff!
Y’all submitted some terrific points categories. We culled through the list and pulled out our favorites. Here’s what we’ll be scoring during the Women Tell All (in addition to the regular points):
No wildcard points for this episode. Good luck!
Wildcard points: 40 points went to Becca for being the first woman to say, “I’m so excited to spend alone time with Chris/without cameras.”
We’re going to add a few special categories to score during the Women Tell All episode next Monday and we’d love your suggestions. Points categories can be phrases or actions. For example, “Rolling her eyes when someone else is talking: 20 points” or “Getting bleeped for profanity: 15 points.” Leave a comment with your suggested categories and we’re going to pick our favorites.
We’ll send out a blog post by Friday with the special points listed out.

So if you’re wondering where your points are today, worry not. They’ll be delivered first thing in the morning Tuesday.
Wildcard points for Episode 8: 25 points to the first lady who says that she can “see herself living in Iowa” (or similar).

On to the points. This might be an unpopular decision but I’m gonna double-down, (so just try and come at me, bro): Whitney is the only one seen do-si-doing on camera with Chris after all the ladies sang individually on the group date. I watched it about five times. Once in slow-mo. So she’s the only one we’re awarding dancing points to (besides Britt, who danced at the concert with Chris).
Peace be with you.
Lastly, we didn’t award any rose ceremony points for the end of Episode 6 because there wasn’t a rose ceremony. Chris did send both Ashley I. and Kelsey home, so that’s probz why ABC skipped the rose ceremony. But no rose = no points.
If you think we made a mistake with any of the points, please let us know in the comments below. You may have caught something we didn’t.

If you are foaming at the mouth for a mid-season draft, then keep reading.
We were in a bit of a pickle this week, since there was no rose ceremony. We decided to award the points that were earned in this episode only. Next week, if the episode picks up with the rose ceremony, we will add those points to the episode 6 tallies.

Anyway – attached here is an updated template. You should be able to copy the points from the copy you’re using now into this updated version. If you are Excel-phobic and fear that you will cause the formulas to “explode” (cough, Jorie, cough), send an email to [email protected] with your document attached. We’re here to help :-)
