Well the Bachelorette finds herself and the 11 guys in Bavaria..Munich specifically. Germany doesn't leap to mind as a romantic destination. I think orderly, clean and timeliness - not true love...but it was a beautiful and chilly backdrop to this show.
This episode has a 1:1 and group date ...and the very awkward 2:1 date.
Worst product placement: the hotel. Chris said the name and the camera panned the hotel name. That was one of the longest hotel names I've seen. Who would remember that? That poor hotel is probably not going to get a lot of business from this show.
First 1:1 Chris.
yeah..still not sure about Chris. I think Des likes his care and attention, but he doesn't seem that interesting. They walk around town..try on some matching outfits.
Meanwhile, back in the polysyllabic hotel, Bryden is has concluded that his feelings are not 'where they should be'. So he figures he needs to crash her date and tell Des. Like now. I'm not sure what the urgency was. Bryden sets out to find them..in a city of over a million people. Meanwhile Chris and Des are square dancing and do see doe-ing to a polka beat. Seriously? Someone should have given them some polka lessons. Bryden is stopping people and asking if they have seen TV cameras (meanwhile a TV camera is falling him..and I'm betting you dollars to rose petals that the cameramen communicate with each other). As an Iraqui veteran and military person- I would have expected better reconnaisance from him.
But Bryden did find Des and sat her down on a cement step to tell her. She didn''t seem too busted up.
Chris and Des go on to dinner and surprise..she's wearing a sparkly dress..and surprise again..a private concert!!
Chris is awarded the rose.
Group date!
Oh.before the date..didn't it seem like all the guys were wearing the same hoodie...save for Michael whose hoodie strings were thicker. Maybe they were hotel issue because it was chilly in Germany.
They all got Canada Goose jackets and climbed to the highest peak on a gondola! They get a bit of yodeling in.Then they all go on some crazy fast sleds down a hill (sans helmets) and then have a little soiree in a snow castle. Des is clearly into Brooks because she nearly lunges at him to kiss him...Zak reveals on the mountain top that he thought he was going to be a priest..but on a European trip after college he stopped hearing that calling. Mikey grabs her and tells her he wants a family of five. James and Des go to a private room and kiss..and Brooks sees. Eeek. Awkward.
Brooks gets the rose!
1:1
Whoa...it's going to be tense. Michael pre-decides it's going to be Armageddon. And then he gets all legal beagle and says he's going to charge Ben with fraud and impersonating a southern gentleman.Ben and Michael set off to the date in a limo sitting beside eachother and not looking at eachother. Des meets them and tells them they will do a polar bear swim...they get changed in their swim suits..but just kidding. They are going into a hot tug. Yep a hot tug. A hot tub that is kind of a boat. Michael was trying to cross-examine Ben..which got worse when they got changed for dinner. Michael called Ben's faith and commitment as a father to question. It seemed like a really bad strategy because he seemed to be a bit like a bully. It does seem odd though that Ben wouldn't call his son while he was gone. Ben excused himself to cool down. Des went to get him..and somehow she decides to give Ben the boot!
But Ben seemed super angry in the limo..commenting that the camera men should 'wrap this up' and then says "do you want me to sit here and look unhappy", and saying he coudln't believe Michael got further than him. When I saw that I thought.."wrong reasons". Ben was looking to party in Munich...did he say something like..I want to be seen with someone in Munich? dunno..i didn't catch it..and no..still no PVR.
Fireside chat with Chris
Chris gets an update from Des. He calls Des on all her kissing of all the dudes. Okay, I knew that Des liked Brooks..but Zak as a good kisser? who knew?
But what Des knows..is that she doens't need a rose ceremony She knows who she's going to kick in the lederhosen. Meanwhile the guys are pumped to see Des especially Drew who was going to expose James' wrong reasons for being on this show. Is James really here for fame.Seems like he might be the type.
Fast forward to Rose Ceremony
Des does not need a cocktail party...her mind is made up...and her future doesn't involve Mikey.
Next stop in this world tour...Barcelona
Until next week: Ich liebe diese show!!!
