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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
