It’s okay to admit it. You spent your Monday night huddled around the TV with your girlfriends, gossiping about the latest group of bachelorettes. Don’t worry, we did too. In fact, a few lucky Handbag Heaven ladies even had the opportunity to share their sacred Girl’s Night ritual with none other than Bachelorette Season 8 runner-up, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. (warning: blurry pic – but we swear it’s actually him)!
No matter who you watched it with, we think it’s safe to say The Bachelor Season 17 premiere did not disappoint. And now that the first batch of roses has been (unconventionally) handed out, it’s time to put your reality TV relationship instincts to the test. This season the Handbag Heaven ladies have stirred up a little friendly competition, and we’d like you to join — that is, if you’re up to the challenge.
Who do you think will win Sean’s heart and who will get the boot? Simply separate the crazies from the keepers and fill out our week-by-week bracket below before the next Monday’s episode. Then be sure to chat with us on Facebook and Twitter each Tuesday, as we discuss each moment of delectable drama. And if you’re feeling ultra-competitive — round up your girls and create a Bachelor pool of your own!
Will the women turn on one another? Will there be tears, hot tubs, and the most dramatic rose ceremony ever? Will Sean find true love? While we’re pretty certain we can already answer these questions, we can’t wait to tune in and find out!
Scoring
Decide among your friends how you’d like to keep score or follow along with the system we’re using at Handbag Heaven!
We’ve decided to assign a point value for each week. Multiply that point value by the number of girls you’ve correctly guessed, and you’ve got your score for the round. The one with the most points at the finale wins. :) Based on our point values, a perfect bracket would result in a score of 474. Good luck!
Top 16 – 3 points
Top 13 – 5 points
Top 11 – 7 points
Top 9 – 9 points
Top 6 – 11 points
Final Four – 13 points
Final Three – 15 points
Finale – 20 points
The One – 30 points
how does the scoring work for this bracket? do you need all of your women to move on to qualify, point for each one, etc?
Great question! I just updated the post to include the point system we’re using at Handbag Heaven. :)
