There's Chris Harrison and the Bachelor crew mixin' it up again. What? Already at the hometown. It is a gorgeous setting, and as Ben has stated thrice-he's believes in the process and he's gonna get down and vulnerable...
The show starts with the hopefuls being shuttled alfresco to the compound er mansion (actually Sonoma inn). Hmm open liquor in the vehicle. Is that against the law. I know it ain't Alberta, but Arnold is running California...but he's got other worries..with the divorce and all.
Ben strolls in looking casual..he could even pull off those Ked's sneakers. Really, you have to have the right frame for that. On a bigger dude the Keds would definitely not work. Ben needs a better hair stylist..but he was looking fabulous. What kinda vehicle does he drive. It looks a bit rugged, but not quite. Kinda like Ben.
First date with the cute Kacey. I understand she was going a bit rustic with the outfit choice..but almost too much so. She's so cute though..Talking, rhetoric and conversation are not her strong suits. Shorts and baton twirling..and she's got Bachelor game. The two person parade down Sonoma avenue was ridiculous. "We're having our own parade". I think most people call it going for a walk. She checked the baton at the movie theatre entrance...and the show did an edmotional check-in on Ben. Oh my...the home videos with Ben's dad...so sad:) Kacey gave Ben lovely support...and she did a good job listening. Ben gave her the rose. The money spent on baton twirling...not wasted. I played the trombone when I was 13..I knew I should have auditioned for this season!!!
Group date: Now why do group dates have to be humiliating. I think it's in the Bachelor bylaws. This one involved Bachelorette's auditioning to children who didn't have criteria against which to judge their performance. Now I know I look at Ben with rose-coloured :) glasses, but he seemed so at ease and genuine with the kids. Yikes..what would you call Blakely's outfit? A onesie? A (short)pant suit? Pyjamas?
The children (or producers) ironically gave Blakely the most costume fabric to don for the show. The show went on, Ben was wonderful (surprise) Jennifer the accountant was adorable. and then of course..there's the wrap-up party, where ironically people unwrap and get unravelled. Note, no children were invited to the pool party. The pool party was elegantly catered (did you see the lovely cheese tray..the was untouched)..but there plenty of fromage on this show. Again-Blakely's how shall I say it..bold..fashion choices. Some people wear hair extensions, I think she gets earring extensions. And the mint nail polish? On a happy note, Jennifer got some one on one time with Ben. Jennifer seems fresh and radiant..and minamalist on the makiage..unlike many of the other girls. Emily is one of my favourites-she seems pretty understated and balanced too. Monika reminds me of a Paris Hilton wanna be.
Blakely swam in for the kill...I mean kiss...and she was awarded to the rose. She's too funny...She overtly stated "well I'm blessed in some places". 'nuff said.
Work Supermodel Work....
Next date card goes to Courtney. Courtney seems like she's a mean girl. The comment that she made to the girl who read the date card "how did that feel coming out of your mouth". So mean spirited. She got the final date..and got the last one on one "spin the bottle" date card.Obviously, Ben was thought spinning was a good luck thing given the date with Kacey the baton twirler. On this date he brings Scotch (hmm odd name choice..you think he'd call him Spritzer, Vino, Grapes, Stomp..but Scotch?) his brotha from another motha...along. Nice..check if puppy likes the girl. Hmm Scotch spent much of the date cold...musta been the vibe he was picking up from Courteny. Courteny looked gorgeous..it did seem like she was wearing Kacey's boots though. They had a picnic in the woods (didn't see them eat)...then they walked through a vinyard..then had another uneaten meal with haybales as chairs. Note that the wine was uncorked and poured (both red and white)...hmm the dude owns a vineyard..let them drink wine!! Ben was mesmerized by Courtney. She sashayed the walk, talked the talk..and swang on a swing with Ben..and she got the rose!
Rose ceremony.
Not the most elegant rose room.Not only were some of the girls squished into their dresses (Samantha), but they all seemed squished into a room. No wonder Jenna was gasping for air again. Not only was she gasping for air, she was grasping for words...for a blogger, a writer. she really isn't a speaker. Her pronouncement to Ben "I feel like I'm a guy"..hmm as Monica and Paris would say "not hot". Jaclyn and Blakely (aka fakely..hahahaha that was funny) both chose sequins. Lindzi the horse whisperer wore a pretty pink dress and got all faux humble. Fiddlesticks Ben, this aint' me..ususally dirt is mah make-up" Yuk yuk. Well she does clean up real nice y'all. And she drives a F 350 (I didn't know they went beyond 150) and it's Diesel (the fuel..not the denim).. She's a gosh darn country girl! Well, maybe she likes dirt as her make up, but I'll stick to exfoliating:)
Random observation- wasn't nikki..a Bachelorette from a previous season? And I'm sure she was on Bachelor Pad too. Looks like it's the Bachelor's California environmental protocol to recycle contestants.
Well Jenna was sent packing. Yikes..pretty bad breakdown for Jenna. And now it's immortalzed on video. Wonder if she's gonna blog about it...
Until next week...whene they leave their hearts in San Francisco...
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
