Not even Ali's sunny disposition (oft feigned methinks), could disperse the clouds that hung low over the Bachelorette compound. Ali's quest for true love took a backseat to the hate-hate relationship between Jonathan (the Weatherman) and Craig M (bully that does dental sales). There was a very high pressure system brewing between the two...that I thought would resort to blows. But between Jonathan's monologue of hate-ons for Craig..there were two individual dates and one group date. This is how it shook down.
Individual date #1: The Importance of Being Earnest
Frank gets the first one on one and he's Wilde on Ali!!! Frank's claim to fame is that he's following his passion and he sure does follow. Ali seemed to lead him around..drives the car, hails a cab when she decides the date will go on despite the car breaking down. (don't think Frank offered to see if he could fix the car) then she leads him down the steep rocky hill and had her hand out to support him. Little does she know that will likely be very literal if he continues on in the show. I'm not sure if Frank yet shared that he is back with mom and dad while he pens screenplays. I think he's already written the ending to this show. He seems very much in wildly in love with Ali kissing passionately on the hood of the car. Oh Frank, get a roof (that was from Iron Man 2:)
Group Date: Sun, sand and style (?)
Malibu!!! Woooo-hoooo!!! (Ali said that about 5 times). The guys go on a group date beach front and do a photo shoot for charity. (did they mention the charity?) I felt a little for Jonathan. He felt a little insecure in his briefs that he was handed. Eventually he came out of the changing shack. I didn't think he looked that bad in them. Gotta give it up to the Nivea cream commercial tagline "Beauty is confidence". Arrogance was a few short steps away with Craig working the photo shoot with his brandy snifter, cigar and butt shots. Ty did a very lovely song for Ali and actually sounded pretty good. Save for that odd necklace/choker accessory he had...I started to like Ty a bit.
At the photo shoot wrap up party, the tension continued to grow between Jonathan and Craig M..Jonathan called him a "Category 6 A@#hole". Kind of funny...but Jonathan said that to camera and not Craig..apparently Jonathan didn't want to pull out his brown belt moves as the threatened he might push Craig out of his face.(that was scary talk Jonathan) One thing that was not so threatening about Jonathan was that white jacket. I was perplexed...what was that?? Is there a name style of jacket?? Where does one buy that?? Is it sporty or dressy??
Quote of the date: (from Justin-Rated R-: "Ty pulling out that guitar was pretty fake". That coming from an entertainment wrestler.
Individual date #2: Jesse's girl
Bachelor producers really went overboard to make this seem like a modern day fairytale... the princess comes and picks up the pauper from Peculiar and gets him all dolled up for a fancy night in the big city of Vegas. Was Ali really freaked out on the flight over to Vegas. It seemed a bit like she just wanted a little TLC from cute Jesse. He didn't seem overly comforting, but apparently Ali found him to be so. Once in Vegas, they have a hotel pool to themselves and continue to stumble over conversation...it doesn't get much better over dinner but Jesse seems like a very down to earth guy (who does over spike his hair in my opinion). I think he would have much better if he put less dippity in his 'do. The fun (?) continues when they go to the hottest club in Vegas called Haze and.....there's noone there!!! Well except for a singer..who sang the two a song as they swayed on the dance floor. Ali kinda seemed to throw herself at Jesse. And they locked lips. Can't blame the girl..Jesse's pretty cute.
MEANwhile back at the house, Craig takes some of Jonathan's clothes and does an impersonation of Jonathan. Kinda funny, but Craig has no boundaries...and apparently no sense of remorse (after all he called in sick to work from the bachelor house on a daily basis..this guy is too much!)
Cocktail party...
So much to say...but Jonathan and Craig M had the most to say....... to eachother...but with Ali it's a different story. Jonathan can't string two sentences together when he talks to her and Craig M couldn't be more indifferent to Ali. He didn't even try to tell her how much he likes her (Ali likes to hear that guys like her). She did point out his closed body language and calls him out on being dangerous. Craig M marches back to the house and calls a huddle to see who is the traitor. Justin hops in for some one on one time, then Roberto (sigh:) pulls out his baseball gloves and plays a game of 'catch' with Ali. No worries Roberto..she already thinks you're a good catch....we could tell that last week.
What was with Kasey's illfitting suit? Wow..that was ugly..complete with a burgundy shirt.and why did he take his shoes off when he had one on one time with Ali. This Kasey guy seems a bit odd.
At decision time..didn't it seem like quite a few of the guys had some type of bumps or abrasions on their heads and faces?
Not surprisingly..Craig M was let loose. He didn't seem too bothered. Tyler V seemed a little choked. I'm so glad that Chris L from Cape Cod got to stay..he seemed pretty genuine. Happy that Hunter got another go around...he seems funny. I don't get the fascination with the weatherman...her judgement is a bit clouded...but she was very clear about dumping the meathead Craig. Good on you Ali....
Until next week..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
