The FODs the fantasy overnight dates...are tradition for the Bachelor/Bachelorette..where the couples can go off camera and ah-hem..get to know eachother better
You're watching Treehouse
Well.. Chantal's date did have Zooboomafu like qualities..educational. Lots of animal shots and commentary. There was a romantic date creekside with a hippo watching. She was sure Brad would protect her...yep Brad and the guide with a shotgun. Next the date card which she enthusiastically accepted and jumped up. Brad took her to a field and something was aFOOT....it was the Fantay Overnight Outide in a Tent. Yikes..teh bugs, the malaria, the lack of plumbing. But what happens in the fantasy suite.stays in the fantasy suite.
Next Elephant ride
Emily's dream comes true....Brad shows up with an Elephant!! Turns out they are also lucky in South Africa b/c she accepted the FOD card. Brad was very sweet in the suite and seemed to have honourable intentions and said he loved having Emily as a package deals. Awww.. shucks Brad...you have some sweet moments.
From sweet to sour
Ashley..what started out in her screechy saccharin way turned sour. Can't blame her..she didn't give Brad the answers he wanted...like "I 'll move to Austin for you"..so to make the date go b etter ?!!! he presented the card..and like the other girls..she had to read it aloud. Why do they need to read it aloud..like the audience nor teh bachelor don't know what's going on. It's like they have to pass a reading test to get teh key. So Ashley accepts..and they discuss romantic things like decor and mosquito netting. I think I heard crickets chirping.
Video messages...
Chantal "I want to take this sleep I meam leap of faith with you"
Emily" i feel self confidence and happiness with you" (hmmm what would psychologist Jamie say about that?
Ashley "I had confidence in what we had" I heard those crickets again.
Brad must clarify..so he takes all the stairs down to get Ashley , then back up the stairs to sit down an dtalk..he lets her go..thankfully doens't make her go down the stairs to the rose ceremony only for her to take them back up again...I mean..it's only a 2 hour show. I saw it coming...she even wore a ponytail to teh ceremony..i'm surprised she didn't kick it in Uggs and yoga pants and came sipping a Starbucks.
Emily and Chantal stay..and next week..WTA!!!!!! Women Tell All!!
Until then..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Da Remix and Hometowns
Well...nothing can be more telling or reinforcing than the hometowns. Four lucky ladies get to bring the same boyfriend to their respective hometown dates. The show was a little short on content and seemed to spend the beginning and end of the show recapping previous episodes and then the hometown dates. The editors of this show really have their work cut out for them.
For some unknown reason...Brad is in NYC and packing his bags to head off to the hometowns. He puts on his thinking hat on(that newsboy type cap) to think some thoughts in his head....and then it's..
off to the hometowns!!!
First stop..Seattle-Chantal O
Chantal reminded me of an Air Canada stewardess in she silky neckscarf with red and blue in it She excitedly waited for Brad with the Space Needle in the background. Brad drove up and like all of the hometown meetings..the couple has to approach eachother from a distance...and you can bet they all take a run at eachother. So Chantal and Brad embrace..and first they canoodle on a bench, Chantal says she'd move for him..then they go off to see her house and house pets...Jinxie, Boca and Bailey....The dog is ADORABLE..and seems to like Brad. They have a Corona, stroke the pets and off to the the not so humble abode of Chantal's parents. Wow..it was like the Bachelor mansion, but in Seattle...Chantal's dad (Michael) kinda reminds me of the Kardashian's stepdad Bruce, but with a darker hair. Notice how Chantal's mom's eyeshadown, matched her husband's purple shirt beautifully??? What I noticed most on this hometown date is that Brad and Michael seemed to have a connection..they really bonded..beside the 'Self-made man' sculpture. They hung out there, another room, then in the wine cellar. Wow..what a wine cellar. Chantal's parents..seem normal..I think Brad will give them..I mean Chantal a rose. I think that house could be the wedding venue!
Next up..Manic in Madawaska...
The most northeastern town in the US...and where they pronounce poutine the same way as the russian president's name is pronounced..Putin. I found the whole date screechingly annoying. Ashley is excited by everything..being home, seeing Brad, the Madawaska sign, the honour system for produce purchases, eating poutine pronounced putin,taking a kissy faced photo..and coming home!! What was in the Madawaska water...Ashley's family is beyond enthusiastic....Ashley's mom enthusiastically embraces floor sitting..and sister Chrystie is the family's heavily tatooed sage. I also learned that Ashley is not finished her schooling..so is she a dentist or taking her electives to get into dentistry..unclear.
Shawntal...Chico CA
Is the City of Roses moniker for Chico foreshadowing..or an ironic twist of words???
What I thought would be an unnecessarily dark focus on the mausoleum and creatorium turned out to be most illuminating. Shawntal presented such a lovely insight into her role in others' lives. And when she spoke about the room that she meets with families she noted...'there's a lot of love here'. Wow..almost too deep for the Bachelor..but probably the most profound statements on the human condition in any hometown dates in the history of the Bachelor. Her family seemed lovely...there were tense moments discussing the future of the family business. Shawntal told Brad she loved him...Wow..lots of stuff going on in this hometown. Shawntal seemed to get much prettier.
Emily...the southern belle of the Bachelor
So.. in last week's previews it looked like this date was going to be a disaster..and that Ricky wouldn't like Brad..well it was a bit of a disaster...but nope not from Ricky..it was that gosh darned Brad. So Brad sees Emily and she was lookin' prettier than a glob of butter on a stack of wheat cakes! And there was Brad on the date..in the first part he was about as useful as a pogo stick in quicksand..but it got better..and Ricky gradually warmed up to him..then Brad and Emily had some alone time..and Brad fumbled and mumbled and gosh darn it he felt like he couldn't make a move on Emily...now if Brad had leather for brains he wouldn't have enough to saddle a junebug!! So Emily darn it all is right set determined to make Brad kiss her before left her hous..now if that doesn't put pepper in your gumbo!! and darn it all...Emily got her man to kiss her..right in the threshold of of her house.
Rose Ceremony...
Are the price of cocktails too high in NYC?? No wine or drinks for the ladies..it's down to Bachelor business...Chris does another recap with Brad..and then Brad is left to look at the women's photos then briefly on the New York skyline to help him reach a decision. The rose ceremony is held in a small room...the women look mainly lovely..save for Chantals' Madmen inspired dress and hair..and Ashley's '90s dress (what was up with the silver embellishments). Brad has the ceremony..Chris ensures to interrupt and let him know there is one rose left..and it goes to Ashley. Shawntel is sent home..but in her farewell..she seemed to be mourning more the dating treatment she received from Brad rather than Brad himself. Well..the family business will go on.and I'm sure Shawntel will help so many others!!!
Next week..South Africa....let the vuvuzela sound off to the time honoured Bachelor tradition of the FOD's....Fantasy Overnight Dates until next week.... I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Never Say Never
Oh my...I've turned thought it wasn't possible butI'm a Brad-lieber!!!!!! I think this episode Ushered in some respect for the Bachelor and it was found on the islands Anguila (and not Antigua..like I thought it was in teh last RR.
Favourite Girl
So the first one on one date was with Emily..and judging by the way she looks at him..she's a Bradlieber too!!! He took her to an outpost of an island, aptly named Sandy Island. Sandy Island didn't look like it had many ameneties..and most time was spend sitting on a blanket or standing on the shores ..both feet in. Their conversation..generally underwelming...but Emily got some type of commitment from Brad...a Bachelor first..protocol be darned and he promised her a rose and she'd be in the Fab Four..the hometown dates. Emily was cool on introducing Ricky to Brad. Excellent Emily. Sandy Island was scenic..but a bit of a dud. Seriously though..do you think there was a toilet on the island..seems like they were there a long time.
Down to Earth
Next date..one of my other faves is Shawntel. She is lovely..however quite an unflattering saronglike bottom. It was a symmterical sarong. Shawntel and Brad pedalled to the local farmers market and mingled with the locals. I wonder if the locals had to sign a confidentiality agreement. They had lots of islan fun..sipping on coconut milk, skipping, danceing and playing dominoes. I'm not sure why it was necessary she had to slam the dominoes when playing. Maybe it's aggressive domino playing in Anguila. Auntie B provided served to provide some milk toast relationship advice for the couple..hold hands, kiss and when it's time..tell your parents...well basically Auntie B recapped the last six episodes and what has brought the girls to this point..there has been a lot of handholding and kisssing and the girls wanting to make the final four. Shawntel says she's falling in love for him..so she's not quite fallen..but I guess she's in free fall??? I'm never sure what 'falling in love' actually means.
One Less Lonely Girl
Okay..this date wins for most calories expended. Brit, the food writer, gets a yacht date...however she must swim to the yacht..(which looked pretty far away), then when her and Brad get to section of the island they have to swim to shore, to scale some high rocks and jump back into the water..then they have to swim back to the yacht. Yikes..just watching that date made me want to reach for some carbs. Noticed that when Brad takes girls on extreme activity dates...there is no chemistry (remember last week with the caving date?) Hindsight is 20/20, but in hindsight maybe some PowerGels would have given the girls some energy for romance. So there is food back on the yacht. I was hoping Brit could give some eloquent discourse about the meals served at the bachelor..instead she served some lukewarm dialogue. There was no way to generate any heat or spice on the date..it just wasn't there..and Brad was kind enough to end it there AND he didn't make her swim to shore..there was a motorized boat waiting. And off Brit went to pack her bags. Did she really pack all her bags..i gotta give it up to the girls and their amazing packing skills. Facing the packing part would have made me cry..not saying bye to Brad.
That Should be Me and Baby
Wow..that was one weird group date. The girls all roused at 207 PM by Brad and a flashlight to get up for the date. Nope , not dreamy..nightmarish. And they are going to go to a bikini photo shoot!!! So there was bikini tops removed, suggestive shell placement and some frolicking with Brad seaside. All made for some angry girls...the apres pool party was full of misery. Everyone was crying or crying out for Brad's reassurance. And there was the dreaded rose on this date. I think Chantal and Ashley won for most annoying...well maybe it goes to Ashley for saying Babe so many times to Brad. She is cloying and clingy. This gets Brad's attention hence to rose to Ashley..much to the chagrin on Chantal and Michelle. Michelle seethes and Chantal cries..and poor Brad is stressed. This Bachelor gig is tough on the guy.
And the final three roses go to.........
Emily (no suprise), Shawntel (yay!), and Chantal (What the......???)
Michelle takes a minute to say her good byes..and leaves..head held high..and says nary a word to Brad!! Love it. Way to go Michelle.
Next week we get to see what gene pool these women swim in.
Until next week..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

UN-inspiring dates
Okay...so the Bachelor and da crew head on over to Costa Rica!! Beautiful? Si. Interesting dates? No. So here we go in Costa Rica with Brad and Chris plus 8.
Well..they all wore blue helmets if it was either the one on one or group dates. Safety is no accident..but there was no keeping the peace in this episode especially with Michelle in the mix.
It was another long and drawn out Bachelor against the very lovely backdrop of the lush (and rainy!!!!..go figure in the rain forest) country of Costa Rica. Brad sets out to see if these girls are up for adventure...b/c apparently ziplining, (more) rapelling and spelunking are ways to find out if someone is compatible for you. Unless the happy couple both happen to seek careers for Mountain Equipment Coop, I'm not sure how these dates can help assist with marital decision making.
First.. Brad is helicoptered in and we find out this date is sponsored by the Springs Resort and Spa. Then the girls arrive and they wave at Brad from above and Brad welcomes them.
Chantal O gets the first date!! She gets to go on the longest zipline in the world. It did look fun. After the quick zip...they head over to recline outdoors and enjoy somefood..but surprise!!! that crazy meteorological phenomenon of rain in a rain forest happens!! How did that happen to Chantal and Brad? Like so weird! Thankfully Brad had a dry white shirt back in his room..and then Brad slipped away ...I thought he was going to the bathroom to change but he emerged with cheesecake...so they shared...umm dessert..and Chantal says she felt his love. Now that is some dessert.
Next group date..rapelling down a waterfall...so that's a recipe for a bad hair day. But all the girls got game and did it to be good sports for Brad. Well Michelle got mad..no suprise..b/c her and Brad made a promise that rappelling would be their thing. But..the good guy that he is..he remembered and they rapelled down the waterfall together. He tries to keep the crazy lady happy. Phew...after all that..it's time to...go into a natural springs pool (Costa Rica's version of the American hot tub). Yup..all girls BYOB'd their bikini's..seriously..they must just pack them in their handbags. So then Brad would take some girls aside in another section of the spring to have some discussion. So thanks to Nat..I finally got the low down on what it says on his tattoo (thanks Nat!) Prosapia.. which is etched into Brad's skin above the rather large cross he has on his back means...the word means Strength and Honour. Yeah right..did you see Brad's reaction when he heard Alli scream (remember when Chantal O and her were back at the Springs room and Chantal chased Alli with the large bug?) So he was talking to Michelle and was interrupted by teh scream..and he asks "did you heard that?" which Michelle affirmed..then he went on to continue asking her questions. Prosapia my....
Speaking of ass...for the next date..did Brad come in to scoop Alli up on the romantic date on a donkey..or was that a small horse? Why were the horses so small??? And why were the smaller horses riding behind them? The mama and papa horses couldn't find foal sitters? Didn't get it. I think Alli..quite possibly got the worst date..spelunking and all the delights that go with that..large bugs...and bats. Hmm and Brad wondered why there wasn't a connection. Oh..he did try to pour on the romance by setting a blanket down onto wet rocks (?) and they had a drink. Then they finally got out of the bat cave..and then went for dinner which looked like a large lillypad in the springs pool. Brad noted the lilypad was sinking halfway through dinner. Foreshadowing. He wondered why there was not connection. Dude..the girl was probably cold, had bad hair, was freaked out by bugs and creepy looking little bats..then you have her precariously perched on some structure that is sinking. He's lucky she didn't throw up on him. So Alli the apparel merchant had her apparel picked up by teh Costa Rican creepy luggage guy and she was on her way.
Rejecting girls tires Brad..and so he was trying to relax and recharge...I'm guessing the hotel long distance rates were prohibitive (given that Alli had to ride to her date on a horse instead of a helicopter)..so he couldn't call his therapist..so the next best thing arrived at his door. Hola Michelle! She came to give Brad the low down on who should stay or who should go. He's mesmerized by her and seems to listen to her. Yikes..someone skype in therapist Jamie..Brad needs some help or he's going to have a sm(wo)mack-down! Michelle is tiresome..and she gets WAY too much airtime.
Speaking of too much airtime...the girls tried to unravel the mystery at the cocktail party about who gave Brad grief. That took way too long.....and was really boring.
Jackie was let go at the party..she's so cute! Not sure why he keeps Michelle.
Next week..off to Antigua!!!!
Until that time...I'm hanging on and trying too LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
