Let your backbone slide...
First one on one date went to breakdancing and ever hyperactive Michael. Ziplining through the mountaintops, Michael cleverly draws a parrallel of this activity to marriage. You need to commit to the activity then jump...hmmm. dunno...ziplining is a smooth ride that comes to an abrupt end. Maybe Michael should stick to romantic declarations.."I just want to eat spaghetti with Jillian", "I'm a cheesey ass hopeless romantic if a girl kisses me on the mouth" or maybe Michael should stick to busting moves. Part deux of the one on one is a romantic date surrounded by wine bottles (wonder why this wasn't Jesse the wine makers one on one date). Regretfully Michael recycled his illfitting purple button down shirt (that was unbuttoned and the ill fitting jacket). Jillian likes Michael b/c she makes him feel 19 (maybe b/c that matches his maturity level). Jillian says Michael reminds her of a puppy..yeah.I say Jack Russell terrier..but this is something endearing and sweet about Michael.... My fave quote of Michael's so far "Oh my awesomeness" ...not sure if he is making a declarative statement about himself or referring to a deity...maybe the guy has more layers than I'm giving him credit for. He is kinda is Jim Carreyesque.
Group Date: Jillian gets snowed day
Jillian is adorable, adventurous, kind, sincere, refreshing and kind...but she ain't no Sherlock Holmes. Jillian takes the boys snowmobiling and pauses to interview a few of them atop a snowmobile. When is she going to deduce that Tanner P has no concrete evidence of anyone having a girlfriend. Robby Rosmo gives gives her some soft answers about his life goals. Then there's Wes...who is getting brash about his declarations about being on the show. He comes out and says that his sister signed him up to get some publicity because of his upcoming CD. Jillian assures him that they have a connection. I guess one sees what one wants to see and believes what one wants to believe. Jill does see though that Ed is being a bit distant. Ed's got a lot on his mind..like his job. Sigh..so responsible. So Jill gives him a rose so that he stays awhile...career be darned...Jill likes him so he agrees to stay. After awarding the rose to Ed, they get on the sled and slide down a hill.Aww yes..the Bachelorette is indeed a slippery slope.Cutest quote of the group date..from Reid "You smell like snow and flowers". Awww shucks Reid. How deliciously charming.
Jesse's Girl?
I dunno about this Jesse guy. It all started in the first episode of the Bachelorette when he said he made "love juice". Hmmm. Anyhow.. I doubt his sincerity. So Jesse gets the second one on one date with "Jilly". Jesse and Jill board a snow plane (only to share one seat) and fly to a glacier. Breathtaking. Jesse proclaims that this is his best day ever (2nd only to his sixth birthday when he got a Tonka truck). Then he says he'll never forget Jill. Well, Jillian is fantastic, but being on 8 episodes of a primetime reality show would likely be unforgettable I do think. Then the body language throughout the date was telling. Jillian would always lean into Jesse. It did seem to be all about Jesse..but he did compliment Jill..about her voice. Hmm...he's got a thing for Jill's voice. Maybe Jesse's spent too much time with Tanner P. And, why would the wine maker be drinking beer on the date. Didn't seem to add up to me.
Back at the Fairmont property, adorable Ed has to talk to Jill. Well looks like Ed needs to go back to work. Jill cries. Ed is stoic. Jill cries again. Ed walks her out of the room..(then I think he locks himself out of his room), then Jill gets on the elevator..then cries again. She then takes a sad, pensive gondola ride then for a short hike...walking symbolically by the inukshuk ....yes..our Jillian has to navigate through this crazy yet amazing journey we call the Bachelorette. Godspeed Jill.
My finely honed Bachelorette intuition tells me that Jill hearts Ed. When Chris has a heart to heart with Jill in the deliberation room, Jillian breaks down again..but doesn't admit that she loves Ed. She does say that she doesn't need a cocktail party tonight. Well if Jill can't have dry eyes, she may have a dry night. Or maybe she wanted to get out of that silvery floor length dress sooner than later. Wow what a crazy dress that was.
Well with Ed keeping his rose (maybe, fingers crossed, he'll change his mind and pop up again???), that means there is only one to eliminate...Sadly it wasn't Wes that hit the windy road. He eloquently accepted his rose with heartfelt "mmmhmmm"And it's Mark the pizza entrepreneur that gets cut. I wish for Mark that he recovers from all the cheating he has encountered in his dating life..and hopefully he gets a piece of the amore pie sometime in the future.
Until next week (and I hope hope hope that Ed comes back!!) I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!
