Lady Killers

What did AshLee say about Tierra and Sean? Take our Bachelor women-tell-all quiz and find out!

Yes, it’s true. Even the women-tell-all episode of The Bachelor is two hours long. First we have to travel with Sean and host Chris Harrison as they crash Bachelor-watching parties.

Not surprisingly, at a sorority house at UCLA, Sean takes off his shirt for a room full of screaming college girls. He’s a good sport.

But let’s get to the good stuff. A visibly nervous Tierra comes on the show to tell her side of the story — and to blind everyone with the rock on her left ring finger. (It’s a guy she dated before the show, okay? They needed the time apart.)

For better or worse, Tierrable drama took up a good chunk of the show. Quotes from and about Tierra are plentiful in our pop quiz. But before we get to that, let’s pause for a minute and talk about the hugely awkward confrontation between AshLee and Sean, during which she claims he said he had no feelings for the other women.

He says he would never say that. She says he did. They agree to disagree. And then she keeps at it. And he keeps denying it. But does it matter? Not really.

So back to the task at hand. Can you figure out which bachelorette said what — and about whom — in the following quotes? Winner gets to see Sean with his shirt off. Oh, wait ...

A. “She really wants to be with Sean. And she’ll throw you under the bus to get to him.”

B. “This whole time I’m thinking, ‘I got this.’”

C. “Tierra’s sparkle didn’t sparkle that big. It was pretty dim from when Sean gave her the first rose.”

D. “I was her friend in the beginning. If she’s gonna hear any voice of reason, let’s hope it’s mine.”

E. “I think this show is about seizing every opportunity, whether you’re faking it or whether you’re being real. I think you guys are little bit upset because maybe you didn’t do the same thing that she did.”

F. “It’s difficult for me because I light up in a room. And when I walk into a room, I bring this joy and this smile and I’m happy.”

G. “I was so involved with what is wrong with this girl. I will honestly say I didn’t pay as much attention to Sean. If I could go back, I would completely ignore Tierra. Not even get into it. She really isn’t worth my time. I’m sitting here at women tell all, mad all over again.”

H. “If I did say anything bad about anybody here, please tell me and give me an example. Honestly, I didn’t say one bad thing about any of these girls.”

I. “You’re delusional.”

J. “I wish you would just stand in your conviction. You made it clear that you didn’t want to be friends. You made it clear you didn’t like any of the women in the house. Don’t try to make it seem like you were this innocent person. You set the tone. I think it was beyond you just getting the first rose. It was everything you did leading up to the time you were let go from the show. It really wasn’t so much them as it was you.”

K. “I take great offense to you sitting here calling me a liar.”

L. “It’s the worst to be told you’re great but you’re not good enough for me.”

M. “I didn’t expect to fall for Sean. I did not see that coming.”

N. “This guy is not quite who I thought he was. With the other girls, he kinda acted like a frat boy.”

O. “It was the worst hometown in Bachelor history.”

Now that the arctic blast has finished with us, several events that were cancelled last weekend – Gallery Sonja Roesch’s 35th anniversary show, a dual opening at Foltz Fine Art, Asia Society Texas’s Kawaii Market – have been rescheduled for this weekend.

As for the scheduled events this weekend, there’s an “autoboative” show, a screening of a sci-fi classic with live musical accompaniment, an all-star show for autograph collectors, a fashion competition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the return of Houston's noisiest music festival.

Houston Autoboative Show
It’s the 42nd Houston Auto Show at NRG Park this weekend, which is also combined (for its third year) with the Houston Boat Show. The event showcases a diverse array of vehicles, from electric cars to trucks and sedans. It also offers a fantastic opportunity to get up close and personal with the hottest models on the market and learn from brand experts about each vehicle/vessel without the pressure of being sold to. 11 am (10 am Saturday and Sunday).

Asia Society Texas presents Offside
Asia Society Texas will kick off the World Cup with Offside, a 2006 dramedy from Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi. (It’s also part of this year’s Festival of Films from Iran.) Set during a World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain, the film follows a group of young women who attempt to circumvent a ban on women attending sporting events by disguising themselves as men to enter the stadium and watch the game, leading to a series of increasingly absurd situations. 7 pm.

Performing Arts Houston presents Blade Runner Live
Ridley Scott’s stylish, 1982 noir classic Blade Runner (aka the 2007 Final Cut) will screen while Vangelis’ synthesizer-led cult score is performed live by The Avex Ensemble. In this futuristic hriller, detective Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) must continue as Replicant Hunter following the escape of four Replicants (including main baddie Rutger Hauer – RIP) from colonies who’ve returned to earth. His mission, however, is complicated when he falls for Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant based at the Tyrell Corporation. 7:30 pm.

The Hobby Center presents Houston Is Inspired - [Jk]creativ: Our Road Home
Multidisciplinary company [Jk]creativ gives us Our Road Home, an interactive rhythmic production created and directed by native Houston artist Jakari Sherman. Through layered rhythmic storytelling - spoken, rapped, preached, and sung - the work honors the communal labor and ingenuity that built spaces of freedom across time. Inspired by the legacy of Houston’s Freedmen’s Town, the work asks: Once freedom is gained, how do we live in it, preserve it, and pass it on when the pull of bondage lingers near?

MFAH and HCC present Fashion Fusion X

This year, the aspiring designers will showcase garments addressing the exhibition, "Frida: The Making of an Icon." 7 pm.

Memorial Hermann Broadway at the Hobby Center presents Water for Elephants

He finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life - and love - beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age. 7:30 pm (2 and 7:30 pm Saturday; 1:30 and 7 pm Sunday).
