Ok so I’m 2 days late on this. Sorry.
This week’s Bachelor starts with a 1 on 1 date with Vienna
Michelle is emo that its not her yet again. Ali feels that Jake betrayed her after the 1 on 1 she had with him. Katheryn is hoping that Vienna doesn’t come home.
The date starts with Vienna and Jake hanging out at the Bachelor Pad. Then they take a helicopter to a bridge where they do a tandem bungee jump. Jake was impressed with how supportive Vienna was in getting him to jump as he is afraid of heights, as is she.
At dinner and afterward he is impressed with her, and gives her the rose.
Vienna comes home to dish (Kiss & Tell) about her date. Classless.
The group date is Corrie, Elizabeth, Ali, Tenley, Ashleigh, Jessie, Katheryn and Michelle. Michelle feels that she should have gotten a 1 on 1 and is upset that its a group date for her.
The group date is to a comedy club, where the girls are to do a stand up routine for Jake as well as a full house of people.
Ashleigh gets nervous and starts to cry before the comedy skits.
Ali’s jokes were crude & lame. Sorry.. but ‘Why was Tigger digging in the Toilet?’ ‘He was looking for Pooh’ is rather crude.
Tenley puts her legs over her head while laying on the floor. Kinda tackey.
Elizabeth is downright ronchy and they had to bleep out over half her skit.
Kathryn gets Jake to keep coming in until she gets a kiss.
Michelle has 0 class, and her jokes are so off color that she actually gets booed on stage by the audience. She shows just how desperate she really is.
Ashleigh take 1: She is so nervous that she passes.
Corrie does impressions of some of the other girls in the house, but leaves the majority of her skit to impersonating Vienna. It opens Jake’s eyes to the tension between the girls in the house and Vienna.
Ashleigh take 2. Ashleigh tells some pretty good blond jokes and actually told one I haven’t heard before. ‘How do a blond’s brain cells die?’ ‘Alone’.
At the after party, Tenley finally tells Jake about her divorce. She is ashamed of her past (for what reason I don’t know). She was previously married, and waited until her wedding night to have sex with her husband. Quite commendable in my opinion. Her husband left her for another woman. This is nothing for her to be ashamed of. It is an unfortunate choice in a husband, and one she is better off out of. Jake says he has a lot of respect for her after she told him this.
Ashleigh tells Jake that none of the girls like Vienna because she is blunt and a kiss & tell. Jake is upset that she is telling the intimate details of their date around the house, but he wants to give her a chance to defend herself.
Ali is told by Jake he enjoyed their 1 on 1 and she tells him her feelings about Vienna.
Michelle… What can I say that I already haven’t? Shes desperate, unstable, emo, can I list all the things… not without writing a book. A broken record… She keeps saying she came for love and to get married. It’s her turn to give her Mom grand babies… When the other girls on the date confront her about opening up to others she gets defensive and down right rude to the girls, and then says she isn’t mean.
With her 1 on 1 time with Jake she pulls out the tears yet again, and tells Jake she really really wants a husband.
Jake is starting to catch on and tells her he knows she does.
She asks Jake if she can kiss him to see if there is ‘anything there’. She wants an all out porno kiss, and gets upset when its not what she expects. She makes a comment about it, and then threatens to leave yet again, because he isn’t ‘really trying to kiss her passionately’.
Jake finally sees that she is manipulative, and tells her he thinks it would be best if she does leave.
She gets all upset as she leaves, because she expected him to beg her to stay, instead of doing what she is asking by sending her away.
Jake’s comments on this are right on. She wants to be in love, but has no idea on how to get there.
He tells the remaining girls that if it becomes apparent it isn’t working out, that you don’t need a rose ceremony to ask someone to go. This gives the girls some confidence that he really won’t string them on if it doesn’t work.
Because of all the drama at the after party, Jake does not give out the date rose. I think this is a good choice.
In the mean time, the girls at the house that weren’t on the group date, confront Vienna about her attitude. She gets defensive, and I think the next day she tries to apologize to the girls after she ends up sleeping in a room alone because no one wants to be around her. She dances around an actual apology, and the girls don’t buy that she really is sorry, but see that she is sorry she is suffering because of her actions.
The last date of the week is a 1 on 1 with Ella.
He picks her up with a Helicopter and takes her to SeaWorld.
If you remember, the week before we found out that Ella’s birthday was the day before the Rose Ceremony. Jake’s present to her is to bring in her 7 year old son for the day.
Ella is impressed with how Jake interacts with her son, and she makes a comment that not only does she need to show him that she is right for him, but that he has to live up to her standards as well for her to stay.
Ella and Jake talk about if everything worked out how she would feel about being engaged at the end of the show. She tells him that she wants a family, and more children. She says her dream is to be like Trista and Ryan where they fall in love, have a family and its the real deal.
Ella really has it together. I am impressed with her and she is quickly becoming my favorite.
Not surprising, Ella gets the rose by the end of the date.
The Cocktail party… We see the Vienna / Elizabeth Circus.
Elizabeth… the psycho tease… She asks Jake if he is good at backrubs.
Again Jake is catching on to the mind games with this leach. He tells her that she is confusing and sending mixed signals to him. She doesn’t want him to kiss her, but she throws herself at him, hanging all over him. She bates him to kiss her at every turn.
Jake asks if she really doesn’t want him to kiss her for spiritual reasons (her original reason) or because its personal and she is Jealous. She admits to the later. Jake tells her he feels like it is a carrot she dangles in front of him. She takes this as if I don’t kiss him then I won’t stay. He tells her that this is not the case, but that she needs to stop sending mixed signals.
Vienna pulls Jake aside trying to defend her position especially because she is so unliked in the house.
The Rose Ceremony.
1. Vienna (1 on 1 Date Rose)
2. Ella (1 on 1 Date Rose)
3. Gia
4. Corrie
5. Tenley
6. Ali
7. Jessie
8. Katheryn
9. Ashleigh
After this week I would like to see Ashleigh, Vienna, and Corrie go home.
Ashleigh for the same reasons as last week, Vienna because she is a kiss & tell, and Corrie because even though she was trying to make Jake see there was an issue with Vienna, shouldn’t have done it in such a public way.
Elizabeth goes home. This I think is a good call as she was manipulative and was playing with Jake’s emotions and teasing and baiting him at every turn. Her comments upon leaving were that she really thought that there was something there between her and Jake. I think that if she hadn’t been playing mind games and doing the bait and tease she may have been able to stay.
Valisha also goes home. You don’t see much of her at all in this episode, which makes his decision not surprising. She wishes Jake good luck, and says that she put herself out there, but she is used to things not going her way.
And then there were 9.
