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!!!
