The Bachelor: Early Dismissal...and That's NO JOKE!

Yes, early dismissal it is!  For my kids (12:00 & 12:30) but also for someone in this week's episode!

Finally we have a Bachelor/Bachelorette who gets some chutzpah and tells the whiner; "I think you should go..." I don't want to get ahead of myself here!!

After the not-so-subtle evacuation of Rozlyn and her cheatin' heart...she didn't even wait to cheat until after they were married! (perhaps I should have joined the girls at the comedy club) Chris Harris informed the rest of the girls that the show MUST GO ON!! 

This week there were two, one-on-one dates and one, group date.  The group dates are always very amusing to watch...and this week...it WAS. 

The first date was a one-on-one with Vienna.  That name always makes me think of those little Vienna sausages we used to feed my niece when she was a baby!  Jake and Vienna took a...can you guess??..A helicopter ride.. what season could be complete without a helicopter ride?!  During the entire flight, Jake just looked NERVOUS - well, I would be too if I planned to bungee-jump as a date!!  The funny thing - he didn't try to be all macho!  Instead he was panicky! (Bless his heart) So, Vienna saved the day by acting all motherly and cuddling his head... ugh.  Now, I am PETRIFIED by heights!  If I had some dude tell me that's what we were going to do for a date - I'd probably push him off the bridge...with no bungee!  Over they bunged and while dangling decided to have some weird spiderman inspired kiss.  Oh yeah...she went home with a rose.  Much to the chagrin of the other cats.

Quick Terry story; A few years ago Craig, the kids and myself went over to the Snowbowl in Camden, Maine.  This is a local ski mountain.  They had some snow-tubing so that's what we did for Katherine.  Nicholas was just a little baby then and I was completely satisfied standing at the bottom of this DEATH HILL.  It took forever to get to the top, but she did it a couple of times - the 3rd time my darling and ever-so-loving and protective husband of mine urged me to take our daughter.  As we were climbing, higher and higher I kept getting more and MORE scared!!  I couldn't back down, because there was a huge line of people behind us.  Finally, when it was my turn, I started to cry.  There was absolutely no holding in of my fear!  Dooooooooooooown I went in the tube SCREAMING in panic...people laughing...(Yeah. Funny.) Did my husband learn the meaning of hate that day?  Why YES!  Yes he did!!

My goodness!  I need to be careful here - I'm starting to act like Vienna!!  Making this review about myself!!

So, Vienna date over - she went back to the hen house all glowing and telling everyone about her jump & kiss, etc etc.  Unfortunately, she didn't shut up about it.  She was still "glowing" after a couple of days when the next girl was able to go on her OoO date, so she decided to repeat how fabulous HER date was etc etc.  I wonder if Immodium A.D. works for diarrhea of the mouth!?

The group date was at a comedy club owned by Jon Lovitz.  Their date consisted of the demand to make complete idiots out of themselves by doing stand-up.  Ashleigh was as scared as Jake before he took the leap off the bridge.   A couple of them SHOULD have!  I'm not talking about Ali and her Tigger and Poo joke... or Tenley putting her feet behind her neck..that was actually kind of funny.  I really liked Jessie's "My family is doing the sequel to 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'...they're doing the My Family is so Fat You Can't Tell They're Greek."  Elizabeth, who "has morals" was talking about a guy from Utah...the girl got BLEEPED out!!  Whoa.  Corrie just pulled a high school snob tactic...just making fun of the unpopular girls.  Now the pitiful: Michelle.  I don't want to call her a "poor thing" because she is MAJOR crazy!!  I don't know if she really had any jokes planned or if she DID plan them, but they just stunk.  You would think the crowd would have given her a pity chuckle - but NOPE!  She got BOO'D!!  Even Jon Lovitz had a kerflummoxed!

The roof top after party was...wow - it was just so many different things!  The girls were just kind of sitting around all bored like and one by one went to Jake as if they were going to confession.  Tenley tearfully spilled her past - having been married, then cheated on, then divorced in a short period of time.  So...she's got a little bit of baggage, but nothing major. 

Ashleigh just spent her time bashing Vienna.

Elizabeth spent her time regretting the whole I-don't-want-you-to-kiss-me-until-you-ask-me-to-marry-you. Of course he called her a tease...which she WAS! I am SO completely shocked that she was sent packing without a rose!

Michelle spent HER time proving how crazy she actually was.  She asked if it would be awkward if she asked him to kiss her.  Uuuuuh..just a little!  Was it a passionate, hair-pulling totally sexy kiss?  Not at all!  It was PAINFUL for poor Jake!!  And a complete riot for the rest of us!  She told him that she wanted something MORE than that...eeeew.  After that completely painful interaction...Jake told her to get her sorry butt off the roof before he pushed her off.  Well...not exactly like that, but he sent her packing!!  It was the most beautiful sight I've seen!

Thankfully Jake had a wonderful OoO date with Ella and in the spirit of Jason's season, her boy was brought in to spend the day with Jake & Mommy.  Anyway, it was a nice date & Jake seemed very comfortable being on a date with the both of them.  I wonder how he ACTUALLY felt though...

The cocktail party & rose ceremony was BORING!  It was just nice to see the tease leave...I have do say though, she had such pretty hair. 

Next week looks as it may be interesting.... asking Chris if he HAD to give out the final two roses??  OOOhhh - the plot thickens!
