Oh what a night!! The competition got stiffer and the roses fewer in number. Each rose awarded is a thorn in the scorned girls’ side.
They write the songs to make the whole world cringe
This competition dipped into the ‘creative competitions from previous episodes’. To determine one and one and wife worthiness, the girls have to write and perform an original song for Jason in order to win a solo date. Nikki got her freak on..I mean out…she freaked out about writing a song. Before the competition Jason got all David Foster and offered sage Bachelor wisdom… "It’s just about opening up and doing it” .Shannon remembered (of course) that Jason did a rap for Deanna and wrote a rap for him. After Nikki composed herself she wrote a lullabye that she would sing to her child (huh?? Didn’t she say she didn’t even sing Happy Birthday to her niece and nephew because she couldn’t sing?) Jillian channelled her Alberta roots and did a country number replete with cowboy boots. The heavily accessorized Lady Stephanie, who likely had voice lessons at her finishing school, started sultry and ended in glass breaking falsetto. It was Molly’s ode to fast food that clogged I mean won Jason’s heart.
And all that for a date at the Bachelor pad…according to Jason “its just gonna be chill”. And chill they did…eating burgers in bachelor style…amidst pillows and reclining…then surprise!! A pup tent and a campfire in the Bachelor backyard….where they kissed ate s’mores and then Molly stayed overnight for s’more somethin’ somethin’. This was a Bachelor first..overnights usually require a fantasy overnight card written by Chris Harrison….This Bachelor has been turned upside down!!
Group Date: Code Red (Rose) The girls go to the set of General Hospital.!! They get to act out scenes with Jason…and some get to kiss Jason. Then Jason invites the girls to a rooftop for a wrap party….why did I think there would be other people there? Nope…according to the Bachelor Isolationist Policy..it was just the girls and him on the rooftop. Why does Jason always take the girls to nighttime outdoor dates? He always asks the girls “Are you cold?” Why don’t the producers make more indoor dates? Back at the party….Molly and Naomi break down. This is getting a lot more personal. Shannon made a list of demands from Jason and it sounded a bit unbalanced and she said she’s putting her heart on her shoulder (maybe b/c she was sleeveless?). And Lauren taking a page from a self help book that says men like women who tell them what to do and she demanded a rose. At the end of the sombre wrap party…he gave to rose to Naomi. (Isn’t Naomi just gorgeous??)
That leaves the instant death date…it’s Lady Stephanie pitted against perfectionist Nikki who proclaimed the day before. I don’t want to be Nikki….I want to be a we. It’s sad that some people think that needs to be mutually exclusive. Sigh. So the double ding dong at the bachelorette house means the date card arrived. The card read “Let’s dance the night away”. Lady Stephanie is ecstatic…she’s a trained ballerina and an instructor. Sniff..another thing that the Nikster is not good at. So this date will go down as one of the most awkward dates in Bachelor history….First who is the Alberto Mikali??anyone heard of this designer. The girls put on their designer gowns and get ready for the dance. So who Rolls in?? Jason in a Rolls. The limo must be in the shop. They arrive the date looking like they are going to play Red Rover, Lady Stephanie, Jason and Nikki all holding hands. At this date..Jason must decide if Nikki can get ‘out of the box’ and also must see if there is a romantic connection with Stephanie. So Debra the dance coach doubled as life coach and drew parallels between dancing to relationships. Lady Stephanie showed her attitude of gratitude for the romantic setting. She also focused on the importance of being earnest..in her dancing and in her attention to Jason in words and body language during dinner. My heart sunk a bit for her because it seems like she’s really trying so hard to win him. He doesn’t seem to be that into her. ..umm maybe he was distracted by her cheek glitter. She did get the rose and Nikki got the road. Round and round in the limo until she broke down in the backseat and babbled on about silly things..about being perfect and always being rejected.
A full moon shone over the cocktail party. Maybe that explained some of the dress choices. You know which ones I’m talkin’ about. Another odd thing was the way Jillian sits in the dress. She should talk to Lady Stephanie about proper sitting. Come on Jillian..you need to represent. I thought it was funny how Megan said “OMG,maybe I’m not going to get picked”…so she’s afraid to take the Lord’s name in vain…but she can drop f bombs like nobody’s business. Funny. Lauren’s tough guy mentality got her on the fast track to no where….her joking about giving him a slap..not cool. Violence never cool.
So when it came to decision time…5 girls, 3 roses….he could only give out two!! Jillian..our Alberta girl got one!! And Melissa..the very cute cheerleader….Yaaayyyyyy Melissa….Now with the last rose..he couldn’t do it!!! The girls are denied. No rose..the remaining three need to take a moment and say their good-byes. That’s would have been one sad ride. For the three cut loose I wish Shannon some self esteem, Megan…some anger management and Lauren some sensitivity training. Godspeed to all the ladies avec and sans roses….
And until next week….
I LOVE THIS SHOW….
And when is Deanna back?????????????????????????????/
