Brad is exhibiting some Pavelka-onian symptoms of awkwardness that were peppered throughout his dates. That along with the appearance of two therapists (Dr. Drew and Jamie) added little to his character and just made him seem more feeble than evolved.
And what is with the water themed dates? Are wet suits and heated pools the only way to keep warm on set. I just get chilly watching these dates. If the girls aren't in their hoodies, then when they get our of their aqueous settings they have to throw on a throw just to keep warm. Someone turn on the heat!!!
So let's dip into the dates
How deep is your love?
More like, how dumb are your date ideas? As usual, the girls get super excited by an arrival of a helicopter!!!! They all gather to watch Chantal O and Brad chopper off in the sky and off to the ocean floor walking.I know some people love scuba diving and all things aquaculture but my idea of a romantic date isn't about throwing on a water helmet and walking through murky water. Chantal O was a good sport...but if it were me, that's a waste of some solid hair flattening. Just like in the helicopter ride, the pair could communicate both in the air and underwater. Cool? Back on land, the don't stray too far from the water b/c there is a couch and two tents pitched along the shore. if there wasn't enough water, it starts to rain..but who cares...Brad gives her a rose!! They get to use one of the tents where Chantal exclaims..it's cold over here...maybe it was a way to get some bachelor warmth..but I thinkk it was half true.and she really was cold.
Back at the compound...Michelle is discussing her black eye. How do you give yourself a black eye? Did she punch herself? Weird.
Group date-Love Line with Dr. Drew and Mike
I've heard of Dr. Drew..but who is Mike? Who cares..Brad is in heaven..he gets to talk to some more therapists. I'm down with therapy..but Brad seems like he is using all his therapy to just keep talking about himself...and how much he's worked on himself..yeah..we all know...3 years, you didn't know what you were doing before, you worked a lot on yourself. Yawwwwn...Anyhow..Brad's group date (which he thinks is the best idea ever) is to get the girls to open up..in front of a lot of other women, live on a radio talk show. That sounds realistic. What did we learn about this? More about Brad...he wants to be accepted for who he is. that's original. After all that..well it's time to jump into a hot tub. Ashley the dentist is starting to melt down. Britt the shy girl, demonstratively and throughly kisses Brad..and the rose goes to Britt!
Michelle-repelling I mean rappelling
Michelle...has done quite an about face. The first episode..she was stunning...and to this episode...she's bitter and bruised. Her and Brad rapelled down a building..it looked nerve wracking...but she really seemed to milk it to build some type of special bond with Brad. Notice how she had to keep correcting him to say that it was our experience. And surprise...after a hard day of scaling a building..comes lunch..and..a dip in the pool. I'm not sure what he sees in her....or maybe he's scared that now that she knows where his Bachelor house is that she might whack him in the night..but he presented her with a rose..and that was followed by way too much of a close up of their protracted kissing scene...ewwwww.
The cocktail party...more water works
Wow...lotsa tears. For some reason I feel for Chantal O. She seems to really like Brad. Brad pulled a Bachelor first..and gave a gift to one of the women in front of all the other women. Does that mean Emily is out front??? Was it the cocktail party of ugly earrings..it seemed like everyone was wearing ugly, mismatched or way too big earrings. And I don't see the chemistry between him and Alli..hmm who knows..I'm sure he sees some right reasons there. Three girls go home...the oddest part was Meghan's exit...what was up with her walking...heels too high? Bottom of the dress too tight and it restricted her movement..it looked like she was firewalking.
Well this episode was a bit of a yawn...looks like next week will be better..except for the race car idea with Emily...that was super dumb and incredibly insensitive...
But despite that...I still LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
