Bachelor Power Rankings - Week 8

Loyal readers! Chase and I are back with our updated Power Rankings after last week's return to the states. The remaining four ladies will share their hometowns with Juan Pablo this week and the pool of women will be cut down again.

In Miami, we said goodbye to Sharleen (who left of her own free will) and Chelsie. I had them in spots 5 and 6 respectively, bringing Team On the Wings of Love's score to 49. Chase had them in spots 5 and 6 respectively as well, bringing Team A Bachelor Watching the Bachelor to 49

Believe it or not, after three weeks of this, Chase and I are STILL TIED! Here's a quick refresher on how this all works, followed by the Week 8 Power Rankings and then a brief postmortem for the two ladies sent home last week written by Chase. 

And watch out for the next rankings. Chase and I have a different lady in each of the bottom three spots so the TIE WILL BE BROKEN!

Questions? Comments? Sound off below!

The Contest: Two guys (Josh and Chase) who have no business ranking The Bachelor contestants rank the remaining Bachelor contestants. We predict who is safe and who is going home in the upcoming episode of The Bachelor and provide our expert analysis.


The Rules: Josh and Chase will rank the remaining Bachelor contestants. Points will be awarded each week based on how well Josh and Chase predict the contestants going home. For example, if Josh puts a contestant in spot 7 and Chase puts her in spot 10 and she goes home, Josh will get 7 points and Chase will get 10.


The winner at the end of the season will be rewarded a true bachelor dinner from the loser.


Love Lost:

5. Chelsie (Eliminated) - I still find it suspect that Chelsie was listed as a science educator. I’m impressed that she outlasted some of the other contestants (Kat, Cassandra, that one girl from the first night that didn’t say anything on camera - Danielle, I think?), but Chelsie found herself on team Clare. Chelsie never did anything to stand out in my mind, but she was very normal and struck me as someone that is going to be just fine continuing on as she instructs the future of America. Until her student’s decide to accost her because she went on a reality TV show to try and fall in love with a guy named Juan Pablo. 

6. Sharleen (Eliminated) - Oh Sharleen. What am I to say? This was a long time coming, I’m afraid, but I truly am sad to see her leave. Sharleen brought a unique and underrepresented intellectual edge to the show… one that Josh and I hope to bring through this very blog. That’s not to say the other girls aren’t intelligent - Andi, for one, is clearly a successful lawyer that naviaged her way through the battles of law school - but none were as up front about their need for intellect as Sharleen. She knew from very early on that mismatched intelligence levels are difficult to overcome. Her exit was graceful, but prolonged. I thought JP would consider fighting for her to stay. I hope we can all remember Sharleen as the never catty opera singer trying to break the intelligence glass ceiling on the Bachelor and not as one half of the most awkward kiss in the history of television.
