What a show!!! This show was extra special for me. While watching this episode…I was feeling the Rose Report might be brought to you by the letter A.
Airheads…for some obvious reasons
Awful…where Jake tucked his rose before presenting to Rozlyn
Airplane ….we all knew that Jake would fly at least once during this episode…
Awkward (the feeling I feel every time Jake’s kisses anyone or expresses his romantic sentiments and musings)
Amusement Park….because I was amused that it was called Six Flags…just thought the park should be called red flags….sooo many red flags that are so easy for viewers to see..but not our dear bachelor.
(in) Appropriate…Rozyln’s (again..reminds me of the kinda cheap hotel on the northside…but what is in a name) behaviour with the producer
As I was prepared to review how this show, as with the many before, was rife with the examples of Hollywood cliché romantic date and ‘shocking’ twists and turns in this quasi juicy episode I stopped and realized that Jake is here for the right reasons. He really wants to find someone to marry on this show..and he’s not just going through the (e)motions.
As Jake clumsily attempts to make connections with these women, maybe he feels like he’s a 14 year old trapped inside one fine 30 something year old body. Maybe that’s what’s with all the 80s references…the On the Wings of Love Song, Chicago’s “You’re the inspiration”. (Do you think Ali knew who the band Chicago was?). Regardless..Jake is in this for the Glory of Love (it’s a Hard Habit to Break :)
So Jake’s not so elegant with the ladies…even though he’s got some textbook dates….I did find his capable nature in safety-checking the airplane kinda hot..(safety is hot:), then him flying the plane…pretty hot too. He pretty much cooled off after that with his bad grammar “You did good Ali” and odd dance moves in the park.
He also jumps into serious relationship-speak with any one on one time he has with anyone. Just showing..he’s trying to vet out the serious contenders..you know those here for the right reasons…for him, to fall in love with him and to marry him.
Now that is where our very earnest bachelor may encounter some turbulence while on the wings of love. All a girl has to do is tear up, tear him away from the girls or tear off some note paper and write him a little special note . What was up with the nanny’s note…what did she mean..’it’s naked and natural’..more like it was odd and uninspiring. Elizabeth the nanny cleverly threw down the ‘no kissing’ challenge unless Jake was serious. Hmmm I wonder if he/she or they will cave during the FODs. Elizabeth did say she was playing hard to get..and the only game Jake is playing is playing for keeps.
Speaking of playing…I don’t think Michelle aka Debbie Downer is playing with a full deck. She was packing and unpacking, crying then happy. Michelle makes me tired.
Then this it all came to a screeching halt. Chris came in and summoned Rozlyn for a talk on the patio. In the past few episodes, Chris has shone as a host. In Bachelors past all he seemed to do was clink the wine glass to cease the cocktail party, announce the final rose and ask the women/mean to ‘take a moment to say your good-byes’. But Chris has handled some difficult Bachelor sitches…Trevor not choosing anyone, the Jason /Melissa/Molly fiasco and now the lyin’, cheatin’, double dealin Rosyln’. He did it with grace, finesse and composure.
This is the moment where I saw that Jake was truly troubled about what transpired. I did feel for the guy. This is serious for Jake….and he felt a little dumb…as anyone would who has been duped or misled. Jake really believes in this show and what it will do for him. His naivete about a reality show is silly but just a little endearing too.
What I did find ironic is when Chris said to Roslyn that she had an inappropriate relationship with a staffer and that is not what the show is about. So Fantasy Overnight Dates are appropriate then?? This whole show is inappropriate…. But I guess everyone knows what the ground rules are. Just because there is transparency, it doesn’t mean the process is right or appropriate. But I’m no ethicist..I just love this show.
And I love it for all the right reasons…..
Until next time…I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
