What an episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bachelors..Get your passports ready...you're going to Vancouver...home of tree huggers, potent green foliage, Olympics 2010 and lotsa people from everywhere else (including Jillian!!)
I'm laying bets that the BC government partnered with the Bachelorette for some 2010 product placement to promote the Olympics...but instead of 5 rings...but this is a one ring competition.
First one on one: The Greening of the Bachelorette
With a nod to the tree huggin' Birkenstock wearin' Vancouverites..this is the greenest date in Bachelorette history. Leave the limo at airport...there are no CO2 emissions on this date. First, Jillian recycles her fabulous green jacket she has worn since the Bachelor (remember she wore that jacket when her and Jason had a latte across the street from the hotel?)Then Jill (nice touch with the red and white scarf)meets Kiptyn on the beach where they walk to their mode of transportation. Yup..they kayak to Granville Island. Can Kip keep up on the kayak. Why yes he can. So the green couple shop local, pack their food in re-useable shopping bags..then head to Jillian's fabulous place downtown (not in the 'burbs of course). The cook and kiss..a lot. Jillian likes Kiptyn and he gets a rose:) He likely walks down the street to get back to the Fairmont...where the boys have moved from the bunkhouse to the penthouse
....each shot of Juan and each word uttered by Juan makes me dislike him more...he's the Ben Mulroney of the Bachelorette...
Group Date..Can you smell what the rock is cooking??
Jillian meets the boys at......a curling rink!! Nothing says glamour like a curling rink. She called it a Canadian sport...umm isn't it hockey or lacrosse?? Jillian shoulda got her facts straight. Well..maybe all that wine she's been drinking has affected some brain cells. She has the boys on two teams..the red team and the blue team compete for more time with her. Michael (breakdancer) appears to be symptomatic of ADHD. He reminds me of the jazz musician from Sex and the City that Carrie had a fling with. Michael pauses only to paw Jillian. Despite his erratic behaviour..he is becoming kinda endearing..saying that all he wants to do is go somewhere and have hot chocolate with Jillian. Sweet.
The winning team gets to go on night cruise with Jillian. Captain Jake gets to steer the ship...but alas...Jake might have a flaw. He's accused of being too perfect. And that really bugs Jake. Gosh darn it..other people have noticed it too!! So Monsieur Parfait goes back to the guys and ask them if he's too perfect. Jake..release the ego...(but keep the six pack;)
So the antithesis to perfect..Dave ( Mr. "I swear like a longshoreman") the trucking contractor.
Yeah...he's the opposite to smooth..and is very rough around the edges. He waxes poetic about Jillians asset. It's fantasstic. What a boor. Then he leans in for a kiss..and is surprised he's rejected. Jillian accurately notes that he doesn't respect her. Hmmm was it the incessant swearing or the lewd behaviour. Dave thinks that her rejection of her kiss was her testing him. Yup..she was testing you and you got a big F.
The Grouse Grind
Nope..not the difficult hike up Grouse Mountain...but it was the instant death date..
Mike and Mark head to head. Pitching Mike the baseball camp director against Mark the pizza entrepreneur. Pan shot to the boys in the hotel room, eagerly preening for their date with Jill. Mike looked fetching in his terrycloth towel. Sigh. The boys look dapper and are off to meet Jill in a park. Mike ran to her ..which leaves Mark thinking " I shoulda run" Oh well. Jill plans a helicopter date. Forget putting subtitles on when the English guy is speaking...this is when they need 'em. Whe understands what they are saying when they are talking into those microphones. Mike holds Jill's hand while Mark awkwardly looks on. The dating threesome lands and dine on the mountaintop.
Well...if I was a bettin' woman..I would put my money on the Mike. Being cheesey didn't come easy for Mark...but he didn't knead to. Jill threw Mike a curve ball..and he was out!!!
I liked what Jill had to say..she didn't pick people that would be an obvious choice.
Cocktail party-cancelled due to the wrong reasons...
Jill dons another bedazzled cocktail dress but quickly is befuddled. The word in the Rose Room is that someone has a girlfriend. (audible gasp). First Jake, then Tanner P reveal that (gasp!) some people are there for the wrong reasons. Well and Tanner P goes further to say that someone has a gf. OMG right before the RC. So Jillian calls the cocktail party off and retreats to the deliberation room..where Harris and Harrison brainstorm how they are going to get to the truth.
They didn't come up with much. What happens is Jillian asks the lot who has a girlfriend. Noone 'fesses up. Tanner P gets hot under the collar thinkig that Jill is gonna rat him out. Nope. Jill needs to deliberate then hands out the roses. Happily...Dave and Juan took a moment and said their good byes. Juan glibly says a few words..and Dave of course has one. "Why?" Well Dave, because you're a ding dong. Safety first on the Bachelorette with Dave and Juan taking separate taxis. I'm sure Dave would have rocked Juan out of frustration.....Good thinking on the part of the producers.
Next week....features more 2010 excitement..Jill and the boys (oops except Jake..he says he's a man) will be in Whistler..
Can't wait!!!
