They all fall down

I didn't watch the Oscars on Sunday night, but I heard it was slow and not that entertaining. I dunno..I think the majority of this episode of the Bachelor was slow..until the end where it got slow..and somewhat entertaining.

For the uninitiated...this is the Fantasy OverNight Date episode..or the FOD as I like to call them. I'm not sure why they call them fantasy to be honest. Is it the audience that has the fantasy, the imagination or mental images of what will happen? Others call me naive, but I didn't think there was always consumation (is that a word?)on the FODs...in this episode I think that its especially true.

I love the Bachelor ritual, almost as much as my I love my Americano from Transcend in the morning, but this FOD was formulaic and pretty much a snore.
Romantic scenery (Thailand) + beach + nighttime eating + date card + accepting the key =FOD

What we have in common is that all of them are falling/fallen for Sean. That adds a bit of complexity, but not a lot of layers to the episode.

The show starts with a retro video montage - that's likely to fill time that the dates lacked.

Lindsey: Market, beach, dinner, date

Lindsey said she wanted to do regular things like go to the market...and Sean made that dream come true Asian island style. There ain't no bug eating, fluroscent chick market in Missouri. As we have been told almost as many times as we have heard the word amazing that Sean wants an adventurous partner. So they embark on some bug eating. And Lindsey does it! Does that mean she'll make an amazing wife..well according to Sean's rules of conduct. yup!
Sean picks up some tacky swim trunks. They have to test them..so they have a beach date..and then a dinner date..Lindsey needs to bust out I love you....or else she's in danger of now showing her commitment.Oh..and then there is a random dance. No, not the Harlem shake, but a traditional Thailand dance...I was kind of creeped out by the protruding fingernail extensions. It was a short dance..and then the dancers trundled off..and Ashlee agrees to the date card.
yawn.

Ashlee- how many times does she says she loves Sean- let me count the ways.
The two aren't even on the date and Ashlee is on record to say how much she loves Sean. He's probably my true love she says. Probably your true love?
You know what else we know about Ashlee..she has a wall (that's she's trying to scale) and that she fears abandonment. Got it...like 3 episodes ago...but this is her schtick. Sean is helping her grown and blossom. A- a- a -ashlee...she's keeps growing and growing and growing.

The two set off on a boat..for some island and beach time..but they must get through an adventure together. They must swim through a dark cave...and remember..what does Ashlee fear...
Abandonment.
Correct..so she must trust Sean and hold on.
Huh? seriously how are the two related. She will not be abandoned in the cave..the camerapeople are there.
But Aslee wisely states..that life is like an alleyway and you don't know the outcome. Well, yeah..you know the outcome..you come to the end of the alley.
Ashlee ain't no Aristotle.

In case you didn't watch..they get through the cave..they see the light..literally. Ashlee is born again!...I thought that already happened with the Polar Bear Dip in Lake Louise..but she's a reborn born again.
This is a very spiritual show.

They have a beach date..and then miraculously they are transformed in different outfits and Ashlee has straightened hair. They are on a dinner date...Ashlee has a cooing/baby voice that is annoying and Sean and Ashlee both talk about how others are question why they are still single.
At the dinner date.. you know what's coming...the date card!! And Ashlee said earlier..she doesn't really agree with it if he is "date carding" all the other women. Suddenly the Bachelor gets very conservative. They talk about the card..and agree it is about spending time together sans cameras.

Ashlee wants to make sure that she doesn't want to make it look like a boundary is being crossed. But I thought Ashlee was about tearing down walls. I'm getting mixed up with her metaphors.

Ashlee..made sure to specify the type of ring she wanted as well as letting him know her ring size. Whoa.  Weird.


Catherine
Catherine is my favourite..she's pretty, funny but she got all self conscious. It seemed to come out of nowhere..she's stumped about why a boy like Sean would like a girl like her. ???
Catherine and Sean have a boat date..one Titanic moment . They chat on the boat..and Catherine admits she was pi$$ed at her sisters. They seriously threw her under the limo. Catherine says she talks to her friends more than her sisters..because there is jealously there. Ahh...that's too bad. That can't feel good. Catherine got into some body image issues and then tells Sean she can't believe that he is with her. Huh..is she trying for the same type of vulnerability as Ashlee. I want to old Catherine back
She mentions she's ready to jump with Sean..then they do together..in the water.

Catherine also wants to tell Sean that she is not into the FOD...but she needs to let him know that she is pretty traditional. This is a new trend in the Bachelor. Sean reassures that he wants to talk to her..
Yep. Talk...She says yes.

After all that talking..it's decision time. Sean takes some time with Chris prior to viewing the video messages. Chris is looking good..but his hair is a wee puffy in the humidity. Sean watches the videos..and looks sombre while he watches Ashlee..does this mean Ashlee's gone??????

Ceremony...
All the girls look lovely..the two conservative girls have a lot of chest going on. Catherine looked like she was channeling a flamenco dancer..and Ashlee's dress straps looked like they could not handle the weight of her chest.

Dramatic...and drawn out. First rose..Lindsey? (really...she seems immature)
Second and final rose...now this was a super long deliberation..goes to CATHERINE!!! yay!!
Oh..but Ashlee..I think I heard her rebuilding the walls as she glared at him..she didn't look hurt she looked angry...she walks past him and he says can I walk you out..and he asks to explain. She stops and he doesn't really explain..all he says that he thought she was the one in the beginning. Then he says I hope you understand. I get why Sean didn't pick her...She talked about Sean like he was her life coach. For some reason..She couldn't get into the SUV on the side she was standing by..so she had to go to the other side...and doesn't say good bye.

How long was she driving in that SUV...she finally broke into a few tears...and it looked dark outside. Meanwhile shots of Sean with his head hanging low and it was still daylight. Ashlee did a pretty good job of keeping it together. I think the next dude will be good for Ashlee..i think Sean was good a paving the way (through the wall).

What will the next week bring? The WTA (women tell all!!) I typically don't watch that episode..but there will be a lot of interesting updates.

But the week following.a 3 HOUR BACHELOR!!!! YESSSS!!!! But what is in that letter?? who is it from??!!
until then..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

Hometowns- Blessings are hard to come by.

Whoa. Hardcore hometowns! Tears, Uncertainty, Fear and Anger.

Ashlee
Dear perfect Ashlee..had a lovely hometown date with Sean. They walked her tiny dog, sat in a park and then had a pastoral outdoor dinner with the lovely foster parents.
When Ashlee's dad told the story of how he fell in love with Ashlee when he first met her I teared up. The years of Bachelor watching are wearing me town!

The way Ashlee talks about Sean is exactly what the wedding industry wants out of a potential client. She talks of magic, pixie dust and dreams coming true. Pixie dust? Seriously? Maybe that's just setting powder from make-up that's on Sean's clothes.
Pixie dust.

Seriously.

Something fishy about Catherine
Well if that wasn't the smelliest date ever! Catherine meets Sean at Pike's market and they throw around some fish. cute to watch.not to do. All that fish juice flying everywhere. I can't imagine Sean's jacket smelled very good. After tossing a few fish (not Plenty of Fish), they walk around the market, eat, do a jig..and then put their bubble gum on a big bubble gum conglomeration. I wonder if that thing smelled too. I wouldn't want to touch it.

Off the Catherine's house, to meet her pretty sister's, lovely grandmother and odd mother. The sister's give Sean the impression that Catherine isn't really ready to settle down and the sister's don't seem to buy it the Catherine is into Sean. Catherine's mom gives Sean no direction or reassurance..but tells him there are 3 other girls to decide from. They had a weird conversation that had no warmth or substance standing by the kitchen sink. Maybe mom is camera shy..but she seemed very emotionally detached.

Sean does not seem convinced Catherine is ready to settle down.

Keeping it real with Lindsey
Lindsey is sweet but she seems a bit clueless at times. Sean meets her at her hometown where her dad is a general. They walk around the town. She can't tell Sean what to call her Dad. General, Mark or Mr. XXXX. You'd think she's know.Sean says this feels like a real town to raise a family? Huh? Like the other cities are figments of imagination? The other places felt dream-like. I know the US likes to idealize the army, but to say that this hometown is more real than others in absurd.
We couldn't escape this date with portrayals of army life, especially army training.
Lindsey does some version of Bachelor basic training where she commands 20 pushups (I saw 5) and some sit-ups (which were rewarded by kisses). Nothing like working up a sweat before meeting the family. but he probably didn't smell worse than after a visit to the fish market.Of course Lindsey was commandeering this. It was a bit weak.
Sean wins over Lindsey's mom and kinda gets a blessing from her dad..but only if Lindsey wants to marry Sean. That's an odd caveat.  you'd think that would be a given and not a special clause.
Sean gets dog/Identification tags to remember the visit. Nice..a little army souvenir. Now that's PR at work.
Sean thinks he's falling in love with Lindsey..but apparently he's crazy about all the other women and can see them as future potential.

Dez. Whoa Nelly. I mean Nathan.
Dez and Sean go on a wholesome hike. Then they 'make dinner' at Dez's house. I saw no food preparation. I think Sean looked like he was setting the table. There's a knock at the door..and then an odd exchange happens between Dez and a dude..but that's just Dez pulling a prank on Sean. Good think Sean didn't get angry..i thought he was going to.
But it was Dez geting Sean back for the gallery prank.
Ha ha well.not really. It was a bit flat.
Dez's mom seemed a bit hippie like..her hair and she seemed a bit off. Dez's dad seemed nice, but not super involved. Brother Nathan made up for both of him. Nathan was like the northside met Jersey Shore. Was he being protective or did he just want to be a faux tough guy. Making other people feel small does not make your tall (I can't exactly remember that quote I read on FB the other day)..but he tried to get in Sean's biz-ness..but Sean handled it really well. Nathan called him a play-ah..and disingenuous. I'm not sure if Nathan knows what disingenuous means..but he did allude to the his perception that sean was not authentic. Nathan does seem to like the word reciprocation. That's a lot of syllables for that dude.
Sean was very annoyed..but tried to be pleasant at the table and minded his manners. Dez's parents just seemed to avoid confrontation. I get that..but we all know that never helps.

Rose Ceremony...lotsa lotsa drama
What will Sean do??? He basically says he is going to toss Dez or Catherine. Right at the start of the ceremony, Dez decides to pull a hail mary and asks to speak with Sean. This is only to apologize for the rude display at the hometown. She provides no further clarity. She cries and apologizes. Hmm.not helpful Dez.
Back the ceremony.
Ashlee and Lindsey..safe!
Sean needs to grab some more time.  So back to the deliberation room for Sean. Chris gives him some sage advice. Take your time and 'get this right'. Thanks coach. Pretty useless tip.
That's like telling people, moderation is important in healthy eating. That is useless guidance.
Sean takes a moment..takes the rose..and hands it to.....
CATHERINE!!! yeah!! she's safe another week!!!

Sean walks Dez out. Dez and Sean sit on the good bye bench by where the limo is parked.
Dez tells him he is making a mistake and they are good together. Sean has no words..he hugs her and says he will miss her. Dez says "then don't let me go". Hmmm....good point. But this is the Bachelor..and someone needs to go home tonight..an tonight it's Dez.
Dez is crying in the limo.."all I want to do is make someone happy..that's all I want to do". That's All you want to do. Sigh....another question..whether this is about 'losing' or is it about losing Sean.
Well...you can bet your bridesmaid dress that Dez is not going to be happy with Nathan.

Until next week..and the FODs in Thailand... I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Please don't take my sparkle away

It's a plane..it's a boat...it's a seaplane!!!!
The girls are off to the US Virgin Islands!!
and they deplane to the Bucaneer..the lovely sponsor hotel. Here Sean has to do some whittlin'. He has to shave two girls off..down to the final four and the hometowns....and how does one make such a decision??? By dating of course!!

Ashlee's one on one.
The date card arrives. Another thing that can be relied on (as you know there will be roses, candles, a limo, Chris and dinners)..is that everything on the date card is read..even the punctuation. For example "Ashley, let's get carried away DOT, DOT , DOT". Tiera provides some tasteful commentary about Ashley being a cougar at 32. Oh Tiera..why is noone nice to you?? I do not recall Ashley making cougar-esque sartorial choices. I don't think she has one animal print in her suitcase.

Pack your blindfold Ashley because Sean is going to carry you away. First up...they must swim up to the boat..then then ride to an island..where they must jump off and swim to shore. There is significantly more calories burned on this Bachelor than others. They have a romantic time...they cavort oceanside..then in the ocean then back again on the sand...all for a lovely video montage. Then they have a dinner in the dark..and Ashlee reveals...that she was married a long time ago..when she was 17!! so she would stop arguing with her mom. Interesting rationale. How does Sean take it? Like the Bachelor champ he is..and tells her she's perfect just the way she is. Sigh..when will Sean do something wrong (well except for that Lake Louise sweater and his one pair of bad swim trunks..but that's all superficial stuff...all that clothing can be peeled away....oh and replaced with better clothign choices..pardon me...got carried away for a second)
Sean and Ashlee end the night kissing... Does she keep her hand in her pocket while kissing Sean?
odd.

Group date: Love is on the Horizon

It's time for Up at At 'em at the Buccaneer. Sean rouses the group date girls at 442 with cameras in tow. Of course he says they look better than he does. Catherine the champ is the lowest maintenance of them all..and says she just has to pee and she's ready to go. however she  must have applied the black liquid eyeliner mid-pee..because she did have make up on.

The all get into a jeep and go watch a very pretty sunrise. Dez is taking most of Seans' attention during the day. And the other two girls feel like the 3rd and 4th wheels on the date. After the sunrise..then drive all the way to the other side of the island to play in the sand...All have some one on one time and do some personal sharing. Lindsey keeps surprising me...she looked great sans makeup..and they have a certain chemistry. Catherine does some sharing with Sean about her dad's battle with depression. Heavy. Sean is lovely and supportive. Sean could seriously lead weekend courses on how to be a great date...And Dez tells Sean how she wants what her parents have. Then she cries...is it nerves or feelings for Sean.
They all miss the sunset for some reason..well they can't see the sun.

Tiera- Street Date
Tiera is not thrilled that she has a city date. She'd rather be on the beach frolicking thant battling the het and insects.The girls are appalled that she isn't thrilled just being in Sean's presences. We've seen Bachelor street dates before. The pair go shopping and usually there is one ugly piece of artisanal jewellery purchased. That woudl be the shell necklace Sean bought for her..but he bought her an eternity bracelet. Tiera is thrilled with it..well..given that Sean finds symbolism on his dates...i would have been excited too.

Oh..another part of the street date is a happenstance special event. This time it is a random parade..with noone lined up street side. Tiera loves a dancing parade and gets her bouncy groove on. Sean tries to keep up..and is thrilled Tiera is having a good time. Maybe all the vigourous dancing keeps the bugs away.

Tiera though feels a distance and this worries her. Sean tells her over dinner that he has heard she is not friendly.Tiera makes sure to tell Sean how she's feeling. Sean likes that stuff..but in her head..there is some croix that's gonna hit the fan back at the Buccaneer.

Lesley's boring date
I like Lesley..she's funny. Sean wants to see if the relationship can be sped up a bit..so what does he choose to do? Have a chill date. By Sean's dating standards they need to overcome an obstacle, but this date...is going to be 'chill' and they are going to pick fruit. I got up to get laundry at that point. It was more entertaining watching my towels in the spin cycle. Slow and awkward dates happen in real life..but do not make for good reality TV.

Special Guest: Shay!
Whoa..Shay is on the island..one of Sean's coveted family members..the woman responsible for signing Sean up for the Bachelor (doubt it...but whatevs).
Shay looks like a very certain person..and Sean looks up to her. Maybe becasue she's sure about everything. I couldn't really listen to her. I think I was distracted by her swaying cherry-like earring cluster. That puts costume in costume jewellery.
Sean is confused about Tiera..and t hinks Tiera should meet Shay.
How serendipitous that there is a showdown at the hotel. Tiera is on a tear- she goes for round two of Ashlee being a cougar..saying If I was 32 I wouldn't want to be here gossiping with 20 year olds. Ashlee is pretty but she can't use adverbs or adjectives properly. Tiera went with more ageist comments Ashlee commented on Tiera's facial expressions. Tiera "I can't help my face..I haven't had botox"
Ouch.
 Sean finds Tiera weeping..tries to console her..tells her he wants to introduce her to someone. Tiera doesn't even care who..she keeps crying. She makes sure to tell Sean she is emotional because she cares and has a big heart.
Sean leaves the room to collect himself and ruminates on what all-knowing Shay told him "If she can't get along with other girls..there's a problem there".
Sean tells Tiera she shouldn't stay because he cares and its not good for her. Sean is a spin doctor.
Tiera tells him he obiviously doesn't care enough if he is letting her go. And off she went in a blue mini van!! And she is telling herself looking outside the window "they will not take Tiera's sparkle away"...No they won't ..but the mini van is taking you to the airport.


Cocktail party - oops..no it ain't.

Sean comes out to tell the ladies that he realized Tiera was not meant to be his wife..as he does not like drama. And then he says that he knows what he wants . He feels sure as Shay!

Rose Ceremony
Lesley is gone! Weird? Not really. You know what's weird..Catherine's reaction. This is a Bachelor first..she is crying because she is staying!! She feels that Lesley has more in common with Sean than she does.

Next week..hometowns!!!
Until then..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!

PS Did you see the previews for next week..looks like Dez's brother and Sean are going to rumble.
Crazee!!!!!!

Bachelor Eh?

Bachelor Canada!!!!!
Deux epsiodes dans un semaine!! Mon Dieu!

To what do we owe this honour?? Doesn't matter..Two Bachelor episodes, in one week = happiness.

First one on one: Catherine!!
Catherine!!! Yay! My fave!
Catherine's first one on one. No helicopter here...but ..here comes...the SNOW BUS! And who's the bus driver..yup..Sean!! Guess you don't need a special licence to drive that bus. Sean picks Catherine up in the middle of the ice field...and they heat things up doing somersautls, handstands and snow angels..then they stop to sip some hot chocolate in the middle of the field.
The deuxieme part of the date...Sean picks up Catherine in the hotel. i  can't say I liked her  outfit..looks like she was off to serve beer at an Oktoberfest party. But off they went to another icy locale..the Ice Palace..specially constructed for them
Sean states..something just clicks with you.
Catherine gets the rose!

Yawn..another group date competition.
I'm starting to think Sean is addicted to exercise..and as a friend just texted..."I think Sean has a canoe fetish". Yup another canoe date...the girls set off across Lake Louise..like how long would that take??
But that's not all..after that..the Polar Bear Dip.
Selma calls desert..and deserts her duty. She says "why should I put my life at risk" I kinda agree. But did that seal her fate??? We all know that Sean draws metaphors of commitment, relationships,love and obstacles to all the dates requiring physical and/or mental effort.
They all take the plunge. Tiera gets tierafied, then is whisked away to the hotel. The medics wheel her into lobby and leave her in the loving care of two of the other girls (?). Shouldn't someone have been monitoring her.
Back at the Deer Lodge the girls chat with Sean..Tiera manages to get her frozen feet into heels and gets ready for the group date. Didn't she spray a lot of perfume?? Later she shows up of course. Sarah gets some one on one time and happens to have old family photos to show him. Hmm..odd..not something one usually throws in a clutch on a date. But that makes Sean go 'hmm...not sure'..back at the party this time the rose goes to Leslie!!

Sean goes back to his room to relax..for all of 30 seconds..then he jumps up and thinks he must let Sarah go.
It was sad to see Sarah so sad. But I think she was lamenting a loss that she says has happened because she's different. Awww. I hope she's ok.

Sean and Dez..sitting in a tree...then a teepee.
Up on Tunnel mouton..Dez and Sean enjoy the view..but..lunch is 400 feet below..and they must repel (sp?) Eek. Dez does it..and they kiss midway town. Sean sees this as having parallels to commitment.
Yup.got it..every date means something.
They enjoy lunch. Not sure what it was..sandwiches I'm guessing. They happen to be by a random tree..and Dez challenges him to climb..he does..and she's right after him..he says "come up my little cub". Oh..that wildlife talk..
For the night portion of the date...they hit the teepee..where Dez tells him ironically that she lived in a tent for parts of her life as well as a trailer park. Sean takes it in stride. Gotta give it to Sean..he does listen and ask probing questions. But what was up with his sweater?? Did he buy that in the gift shop?
Sean likes Dez..Dez gets a rose!!!


Cocktail party..
Selma shames herself..by pulling out the big guns..oh no..not the crazy cleavage she was busting..but she kissed on national TV.
Ashlee..has had an ah-hah moment. The Polar Plunge made her jump out her comfort zone..and she pulled out a blindfold. Last time a blind fold appeared on the Bachelor..sean gave the girl the boot. But this blindfold is a symbol of vulnerability and letting Sean lead in the relationship and her relinquishing control..and they even walked around with her blindfold on. Yup..they've made strides in the relationship.
Lynsdey tries annoyingly not to kiss Sean..and they have a dull conversation punctuated by her annoying giggles and baby voice.
Tiera wore a pelt. I'm not sure if she was going tribal...but I was confused if that was a faux fur round scarf.It was oddly paired with the white dress. I think she tried to winterize her outfit.

Ceremony
Daniella..gone
Selma ...Sean gave her the kiss off. Kudos to her for not crying on TV...she probably had bigger issues with her family at home given that she's shamed them :(

Until next week..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!

The Rose Report: Brought to you by the letter F

White is a lucky colour for Lindsay
Missed Lindsay's one on one date. But white is her lucky colour. White dress and Whitefish..it's working for her.
What doesn't work is using Bachelor-speak in describing familial relations. She said she never had a one on one connection with her dad. Wouldn't it make more sense to say, "my father and I were never close". There should be a rule. Never use one on one and connection unless you are speaking about the Bachelor. It just sounds wrong.
But what Lindsay is trying to say is that her father wasn't around so she's looking for some grounding in a family. Fair enough. Sean's in and she gets a rose.
After some semi-reclining in front of a roaring fire..a suprise from Sean! Sarah Darling (who?) is putting on a concert! and not only is she on stage but Sean and Lindsay get to dance grade 7 style on an elevated platform. Oddly, noone in crowd is staring at the two who are at the same height as the performer..the crowd looks pretty excited to see a performer! Maybe Whitefish doesn't get Rhi Rhi..but they get SD.

Group Date:A mountain Indy of sorts

Ah the group date. Less attention, more competition that likely includes a fitness competition and some embarassment thrown in for our entertainment.
Sean declares..I don't need an outdoorsman wife (hmm? This ain't Brokeback mountain..this is Whitefish Montana)..
This time two teams- blue and red.
Selma brought the night to day by wearing that butterfly bedazzled headband.I couldn't look at her..I was distracted by shininess of it. I'm not sure if the band was too large for her head or teh butterfly was too large for that band. That was some kinda high fashion.
 The 'losing' team goes back to the hotel. So the girls put their mountain race face one. They gotta canoe, carry and cut...and...milk a goat? Then drink it.
I'm not up on my dairy laws in the US but selling unpasteurized milk is illegal in Canada. Mmmm warm high fat goat secretions that are awash in bacteria.

Of course, this race doesn't prove anything..but whatevs?! Isn't love a battlefield.
Team Red winds..and Dez downs the the milk..although her poor lip seal let a lot out..but who's measuring?
Team blue is definitely blue about going back to the hotel.
Team Red changes from day to evening and they go back to Grouse Lounge for some beverages..no hot tub or swimming pool..just boring old conversation. Perhaps this is why Sean bends the rules again and lets Team blue come to the 'party' too. Party, what party? Women actively vy for his attention and they take off with him. Happily, Sean and Catherine seem to really click.
Sean does a stellar job of making each girl feel special and he does out empathy for being at 'the house' and being in 'this situation'. He knows what it feels like. He really does have an uncanny knack for making everyone feel special.
Even people who aren't supposed to be there...like Tiera! Gasp..she snuck away to spend more time with Sean- to tell him she's a real person with real feelings. Thanks for affirming you are not a zombie Tiera.Tiera doesn't seem very interesting at all..her interviews are a bit unsettling because producers edit her interviews to make her laugh maniacally most of the time.
Now the party got even more uncomfortable with the ratio of girls to rose high. Daniella lost it...and not just because she made an unfortunate choice of underwear under her flimsy dress. Sean assured her..but bestowing the highest honour...a rose! and she accepted.

Two on one
Producers did not do a good job with editing. In showing future episodes, we know Tiera stays. Jackie was in 2nd place the whole time...and it started with the slow horse, trailing behind Sean and Tiera's.
Jackie tries to warn Sean...but words escape her. She tries to tie in what kind of person she is (awesome) and juxtapose with qualities of a person he does not need (Tiera)..that was too complex of an approach..for both Jackie and Sean.

At dinner...after Tiera took a bit...sean takes her for one on one time...and Tiera reveals she was with someone who was in rehab then died. And now she is looking for a new best friend.

After an awkward dinner of very small portions...all I saw on the plate was 75 g of fish with what looked like rosemary or a leaf of arugula. Carb haters on that show...Jackie is let go.
Tiera wins! and laughs maniacally.

Tiera and Sean...in front of a roaring fire..and suprise fireworks!! Awww..the other girls are jealous.
Fireworks and aviation..the way to a girl's heart in Bachelorland...oh and throw in a pair of diamond earrings so rejection doesn't feel bad on your mini van ride out.


Frustrating Rose Ceremony.
Uh oh. Sean is getting confused and fRustrated and Tiera is getting fUstrated. Sean is not sure if he knows his wife is in the room. Oh no..a crisis of faith. Perhaps the healing waters of Lake Louise tomorrow will help.
But back to the cocktail party..he's not getting straight messages from the girls on Tiera..but I thought Sean was the kind of guy who could suss this out himself...I thought he was a great eye reader. But he is lacking vision and clarity.
Robin and Tiera are virtually duking it out. Good thing Tiera is not a fighter she proclaims..she said some expletives about how she would take out the girls in the room. Ahhh. She's so lovely. No amount of makeup and glitzy outfits can cover up trash talking.

But speaking of make up..does Robin wear any? I mean i like the au natural look...but Robin looks like she just came in from a jog.

But sadly..Robin's anger is not appealing to Sean..and she's out..
Sean declares..love is a hectic journey..well especially when you are doing back to back episodes!!

Until tomorrow!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
