So this wasn't the most dramatic bachelorette ever but it was the most restraint demonstrated in Bachelor/Bachelorette history!!!! Almost everyone was denied to overnight date..well except Ed..but they slept in their clothes.
So Jill and her band of men that she wants to marry are in Spain!!! This is another first in Bachelor history..well the show did go trans Atlantic with the Bachelor (London Calling) and the Italian Prince (remember the Borghese guy??) but Jillian doesn't haven any European roots. Looks like the recession hasn't hit the Bachelorette....or maybe swine flu fears prevented them from any Mexican vacays. It was gorgeous..'cept it doesn't look like Chris got to swing by the announce the final rose...but he did Fed-ex the Fantasy overnight cards.
Kiptyn...So you think you can dance...
Well..Kiptyn didn't think he could..he didn't delude himself.The first time I wish I had HD TV...wish I coulda saw Kiptyn in his tight flamenco pants:) I'm sure Marija and Ricardo wonder if Americans (and Canadians) have any rhythm. Suddenly I'm a dance judge..but didn't Jillian look like she was bouncing and clapping. She seemed really eager to do the dancing..but the girl likes to dance (Oh I heard she was at Wild Horse at Stampede on the weekend...thanks for the tip Carm:)...maybe she should stick to two-steppin'. Jillian admitted her vulnerability about Kiptyn saying "Maybe he is out of my league"...na-uh Jill...his family seems a little snooty and he seems a bit stiff (and not just b/c his dancing pants were too tight)....
So the happy couple scooted off to dinner and dined on some slugs or snails..(shoulda been Wes' meal)....then Jill gave him the I'm not ready to overnight with you yet Kip. Good on ya Jillian..make him spill a bit more. She seemd to dish far more compliments to Kiptyn than he did to her.
Reid..Most time spent with a Spanish/English dictionary
Reid gets and A for effort (I'd give Wes an A for something else...) for attempts to speak Spanish. How very culturally sensitive and aware. Now maybe if could be a bit more sensitive about Jillian. Apparently Reid needs a little push to open up about his feelings. C'mon..first you need approval from your family, then encouragement to discuss your feelings..then he needed consistent reassurance about his ability to communicate..."I'm not good at this stuff..am I or "how am i doing"...Jill had to continually validate this. At dinner he went through his laundry list of her good qualities...and he seemed to lack any emotion. Gosh I was tired after this date. No wonder she had no energy for the Fantasy Overnight Date. Reid you got step it up a bit... So Reid's card was also declined....Looks like these boys aren't getting enough credit with Jill.
oh..one thing about the daytime date..why did they have the picnic on the bench??was there nowhere to sit on the ground???
Ed
'kay..you know this date is going to go well when she frolics in fountains before the date gets going. So Ed and Jill jump onto a carriage and take a rip around Sevilla. Jill lightly grills Ed about leaving her and about all the time that they missed out on (which I think she did strategically to justify extra quality time in the Fantasy Suite). So Ed answers her questions, talks about Chicago..and says he would have taken her....to karaoke??!! What??? Hmmm..I'm guessing he said that to make him sound accessible and plebian. Sigh Ed..you can do no wrong:) So after the carriage ride..Jill and Ed walk through these fountains and start making out..(must be a shortage of hottubs in Sevilla)...the Spaniards are probably thinking "crazy Americans"...
So at dinner, Ed seemed quite confident..proclaimed he wanted kids and would be 'good at it'...I'm sure he would:)..then at first Jill denies the FOD card..but then later when they go 'check out ' the suite she decides they need more time together and they'll sleep in their clothes...Then..Senor dreamy tells Jill "you're my favourite part of Spain" and the camera fades.
sigh....
Wes..Running with the bull-$&*!
Wes is a real piece of ....work. While Reid was brushing up on Spanish, Ed on his ways to win Jill back..and Kiptyn his six pack...Wes made a run to Lammle's for embroidered and quilted Western shirts to prep for his date in Spain. You know that saying..when in Spain, do what you can to look like a cowboy. This guy could write How to Lose a Girl in 5 Easy Steps
Rule #1: When you see the girl you are lying to. call her character into question and make everything her fault .i.e. when Jill greeted him to say she missed him.his response "You say that to all the guys" When Jill asked him why he didn't show affection he says "what if I did and you turned away"
Rule #2: Don't compliment her..instead..highlight any inadequacies she has...i.e. When they were going to go on a bike ride he says "I hope your bike riding is better than your cross country skiing"
Rule #3: Give bad body language..i.e. at their picnic he completely closed off his body language
Rule #4: Bad table (or picnic) manners...i.e. did you see him clear food from this teeth with his fingers....ewwww
Rule #5: Tell her you have a girlfriend!!
Really I could go on...but I gotta give Jill credit. She didn't listen to hearsay..she found out all on her own that he was not that into her... Oh..and why did he keep saying..If you want to clear the table..isn't it clear the air????? This guy can't even get cliches right..well except the bad boy band type.
The least dramatic but most relieving rose ceremony ever!! All I have to say is..
Git along little dog-gy!!!!
Adios Spain and Aloha Hawaii!!!!
Until next week... I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
