The Bachelor: They're dropping like flies!

Just about every Summer, I have this phenomenon happen in my kitchen.  No, it's not cooking magic in the making, more like an infestation of sorts.  I'll make sure food, and whatnot is put away, but somehow these little buggers decide to come over and hang out in my kitchen.  I like to do a quick disposal of these little pests, so I just grab the bug spray and spray it into the air...and you know what they do?  They drop!! BOOM!  Just as flies should!

I am noticing this season that Jake is quickly picking through all of the flies... at a breakneck speed!  Well...let me get back to that.

ROAD TRIP!

Yeah I said it.  Road trip.  Nothing says, "I want you to be my wife" more than cramming 4-5 girls in two RV's!  They can't be the most comfortable things to cram into, especially with it being so narrow....and having a dinky little shower...and bathroom.  ugh. 

This episode had a one on one date, a group date and a two on one date.  Are you following along?

The one on one date was with the lovely Gia the swimsuit model/city girl.  She hopped on the motorcycle and off they went on their date..... basically across the field from the RV's.  How.......romantic.  Especially after the other girls started howling at them. 

They chatted about how they were both very dorky and their first kisses were just unexciting, etc etc.  So, after much drinking they decided on a game of (of all things) spin the bottle.   Which, in my opinion, was the only interesting thing about this date.  After they were just about done getting all makey-outey...Jake did what was expected: Gave her the rose.  It would have been really lame of him to just kiss, then kiss off!

The group date was one I would have liked to go on!!  Zooming around on the beach in dune buggies!!  FUN!!  There was a lot of sand, in shoes, underwear and yes, mouths.  It's a good thing there was a lot of champagne to wash it all down!!  Tenley got the rose although Corrie, Ali, Vienna, etc, etc thought that THEY should have had the rose.... if you ask me, all these blonds are getting confusing!!

Anyway, the two on one date is AAAALLLLLWWWWAAAAYYYYSSSS awkward.  There's just a third wheel feel.  (for real) <--- sorry, I know that was totally lame.  Ella sat there and WOULD NOT SHUT UP!!  I did feel bad for Kathryn because of it.  Anyway, it was a painful "date" and both girls got the boot... of course, all of the others back at the trailers were shocked to see BOTH sets of luggage go!!  Not too surprised there.  Ella IS gorgeous, but at the same time - I think everyone knew she wasn't "it".  The same goes for Katherine, it was just awkward....

All of that ugliness past, it's time for the cocktail party/rose ceremony. 

In my opinion, the cocktail party was just kind of odd - one by one, the girls & Jason went and sat in different rooms to talk & such.  There visits all seemed so awkward...all except for Tenleys.  They seemed so easy going & chatty...the other girls, silence.  *snore* 

During all of these little chats the other hens (in true hen form) sat around and back-stabbed all of the other girls.  ESPECIALLY Ali!!  "If Jake chooses Vienna I KNOW that he's not for me...I'll say something!" There WAS a stir at the Rose Ceremony...it wasn't someone having a hissy because VIENNA did get a rose - ugh - but because Jake ran off to find Chris....The dude had his mind made up - There were two too many girls.  Even though they were both AMAZING (interpretation: get your butt out the door!) it wouldn't work out..... so off went Asleigh & Jessie.  Riding off in the limo of shame!!

Each year my friend Wanda and I have noticed a pattern:  The girl who is usually the one to receive the proposal has been "played down".  Let me see if I can explain that: currently Tenley seems like she would be the obvious choice - and in all honesty, I kind of hope Jake chooses her.  They seem to be so comfortable together, etc etc - but because Corrie isn't shown being totally close, she may be the one he pops the question too.  We'll see!!!

Coming up on Monday...San Francisco!
