This episode reached some record highs and set some new lows... which is setting up this show for the perfect storm.
High: From the smelly bunkhouse to the roof top...cute, confident and complimentary Ed (one of my faves) gets the most daring date in bachelorette history. Scaling down the office tower looked it was going to be scary...but the descent happened at glacial speed..so it was a bit anticlimactic. After the descent they went back up...high above the city on a rooftop dinner date..where Ed was affectionate and adorable. He got rose..Go Ed:)
Low: How many lows can a group date get...let me count the ways.
- A Hollywood movie set was the backdrop for this reality show group date to play act and shoot a faux movie (huh??????).
-everyone looks like they're wearing bad Halloween costume..Tanner P looks party cowboy/part cougar....
-endearing, sensitive Brad referring himself as a badass...Brad..that's not your MO...you are a sweet, smart, intuitive person....stick with what you know and who you are
-Wes' second reference to Jillian 'cheating' on him...(does Jillian not see that this is possessive, mistrusting language??). Wes has a hitch in his git along and is finding it hard to mosey along in his Bachelorette journey.
-the subtle as a sledgehammer reference to Brokeback mountain meets Bachelorette
-Tanner P ....give this guy a foot..and well...he gets creepier....
High to Low...Sasha's date had the most dramatic swings..from racing in the Ferrari down the streets of LA to Sasha's personal revelation about serious car crash then tremendous recovery. Jill and Sasha seem to be making a connection..he starts talking about mythical unicorns (redundant)....then Jill realizes she can't be his mythical unicorn and withholds the rose...as quickly as the date started..it ended..and to take matters worse...Sasha has to take the bus back to the airport...
Low....Wes' song.."Love don't come easy" ..well apparently neither does songwriting for Wes..seems like it took him way too long to finish it...I think he finally did...all four verses. And Jillian seemed taken by the serenade. I don't get what she sees in Wes.
Low....Tanner P..again with the feet...where's the Bachelorette's consulting psychologist??????
Low...Juan continues to be saccharin...he asks Jillian how's her Spanish (to recount..'dude..she's Canadian..try it en francais') But does Juan know/care..no..he wants to whisper Spanish nothings to Jillian. This guy is so irritating....which bring me to the next
Low...David the trucking contractor (who peppers his conversation with a word that rhymes with truck )continues his downward spiral..fuelled by anger and highballs. Juan makes him hot under the collar. He deflects his feelings of inadequacy and frustration with being ignored directs his rage at Juan. His words of wisdom for Juan are...get ready for it..."stop being a cheese-a$%". And I have a feeling that if Juan doesn't stop being cheesey..Dave's gonna feed him knuckle sandwich.
And at the nail-biter of a rose ceremony...Jill lets Tanner F and Brad go..What?? Didn't she say the wrong Tanner. But that means the David and Juan stay....I think that's the recipe for the perfect storm....I see storm clouds brewing.....
but the show ends on a sombre note...Brad exit soliloquy..."I was a drifter in the movie and I'll continue to be one...noone can relate to me" Chin up Brad...it's a reality show...it's not real:):) Remember...a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Until next week....I love this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
