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!!
