Let me be frank...I was really looking forward to this episode. But it did drag a bit. First shots were of Chris, Roberto and Frank packing. Chris messy, Roberto very methodical..and Frank packed his suits...when did Frank wear suits? The boys and Ali are enroute Tahiti ...on La Taha'a to be specific....but the end proved little to laugh about.
Roberto..if you can't stand the heat...stay out of Tahiti
Seems like the only heat that Roberto can stand is on the dance floor. Either that or he had some kind of Island Fever. I like Roberto and he's adorable..but he looked pale. They couldn't stop the camera's rolling long enought so that he could swap out of a sweaty t-shirt... or mop his sweaty brow, cheek, neck, chest..you get the picture. Roberto was one sweaty dude. I'm sure he was overjoyed to see he was up for a helicopter ride and to a lagoon without running water...or an absorbent towel. Back from the lagoon , Roberto freshens up and wears a long sleeved t-shirt!!??? He professes his love to Ali after much hemming and hawing..I think the fluid loss from his body impaired his ability to concentrate...but he did decide to accept the offer to spend more time together. Apparently there was a key to the hut...never saw any locks on the hut sliding doors. I'm sure it got a little caliente when they were getting to know eachother better.
Chris...pearls of wisdom
Out of all the contestants in the history of this show..Chris brings so much depth, meaning and wisdom to the importance of love in one's life.
Chris seemed to adapt well to the Tahiti heat. He looked rested, refreshed and excited to see Ali. They did Islandy things...yacht, jumped off the yacht to swim over to the Island...and in the mean time someone passed them water socks..and then some dry clothes waited for them on the island.then they found some pearls! Were those planted?? Or is Cape Cod Chris used to clam digging that he naturally forages for shelled creatures? He referred to the banana leaf picnic similar to the clam bake? I've never been to a clam bake, but I didn't get the parallel. So the picnic was romantic and Chris eagerly accepted the key to the fantasy hut..where he professed his love. He might be too enthusiastic for Ali..she seems to go for dazed and confused guys.
Frank..I left my heart in San Francisco..oops changed my mind..I meant Chicago.
Frank....What's in a name? He was anything but. The deception. Who knew that he was confused..I thought Frank was just insecure all this time. So to clarify, he's going to go to Chicago and talk to his girlfriend to see?? What I wasn't sure. So Frank gets to Chicago and seems to have to cross a lot of streets to get to his girlfriend. I think Nicole lives in a Holiday Inn. So he gets to her..and she answers the door....gasp!...wearing yellow!!!!! The nerve!! So he blabbers on about how he's got a great connection with Ali (not a cool thing to say to your ex), but he redeems himself (right) to say that he would think of Nicole every night. So after a few minutes of me thinking that Nicole was mute, Nicole speaks..and she misses Franks kisses ..and they hug and hold..then Frank tells her what a hard job he has to go to Tahiti to tell Ali everything. Did he expect Nicole to console him? Frank is so annoying and what a narcissist. So Frank gets to Tahiti to break the bad news to Ali and what was so much more annoying was that Frank wasn't comforting to Ali..all he could do is parallel cry with her. What a child! Ali was pretty eloquent in her retorts to Frank..but they seem alike..both consumed with their own issues of who will love them and are the loving for the right reasons. Ali has to leave, but a few short steps down the beach she is overwelmed with the need to sit in the sand...kinda like when she gave Jake a melodramatic good-bye and had to plant herself in the hallway. Chris Harrison comes to comfort her looking cool and pressed matching blue shirt and is able to offer her comfort and support of a good friend.
Do you really accept my rose?
Well...not really a need for a rose ceremony, but we have time and traditions to fulfill. Ali cleverly uses this as an opportunity to communicate that Frank was not for her and she really wants the two men here. Nice move on her part not to take the important ceremony and sully it with negative comments about Frank. Good work Ali.
Roberto did pick a shirt that made his sweating less prominent..but he was still sweating up a storm. Chris looked calm and collected and both men happily accepted his rose. Ali then announces they are going to stay on the island. Roberto looks happy on the outside..but on the inside he's probably hoping they sell Gator-ade on island.
Until next week..when we meet Ali's family..I love this show!!!!!!!!!!
