I love this show so much...maybe because i like ritual. It's the fantasy overnight dates (FOD)..but I heard Chris H refer to is to the romantic over night dates..whatever..it goes like this.
Reunion (woman typically runs toward man..90% of the time woman jumps up and wraps her leg around him...they kiss..they have a day date..an evening dinner where they sit by food..they don't eat..because the date card is coming which means 99% chance they spend the night together...and really who wants to be digest vegetables while on the FOD...might make extra bubbles in the hot tub:)
They are in gorgeous Bali...it seemed warm not super hot..either that or Chris forgot all of his sleeveless or short sleeved shirts.
Chris says he's excited because he wants to know who potentially could be his wife (nice and vague Chris)
FOD #1 : Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn always looks great. Loved her necklace. Chris wore a dress shirt and shortsThey had a banana feeding date.Monkey's are cute but i'm not sure i'd want them jumping on me..I actually love the way Chris laughs...it's infectious..
hopefully he's not though.it is the FOD night you know.
Dinner time...Kaitlyn talks about her wall...she tells him she's falling in love with him. He says he's falling in love with her? whah??? seriously..i thought that was against bachelor code..the bachelor/bachelorette cannot reveal true feelings till the end.
Turn out Chris says he's falling in love with everyone.
Side bar: What does falling in love really mean? If you're falling in love..does that mean intense like? Is there any love there? Is it a BS phrase you say when you've already told there person you really like him/her..but you feel compelled to say more because the other person revealed a lot to you.I think it's a BS phrase..i think you're in love or you like someone.
or then again..maybe I shouldn't overanalyse the Bachelor.
Date card: Kaitlyn says yes and oui. She talks about your feelings..Chris does some reflective listening. "Everything you're saying I hear". Actually he's more of an affirming listener than a reflective listener.Chris says this is big week for them (he also says that to the other two). Chris likes to recycle. Lines.
I liked the bathtub with heart with flowers in it. Adorbs.
FOD #2: Nails on a chalkboard...I mean Whitney
Wow...i find Whitney grating.
Whitney...she's so happy to see Chris. Except..she still mad at her sister.
Chris and Whitney go sailing. She's contentedly lying beside hime..she always flings her legs over him. She tells him how last week's date with him was 99% perfect, but not 100%. She had to explicitly TELL him how perfect they are together..and why her sister is so dour. Well it's because she's an attorney (?) nice stereotype. Then she was responsible for Whitney after her mom was FORCED to work full-time when the dad left. Poor Whitney. She likes to play the double-edged "I'm so hard done by, but I am strong and undependent (which is only my fall back in case the marriage doesn't work out). but Whitney is happy because Chris reassured her...and that's what she wanted...sigh.we can all relax...Whitney got what she wanted. She now feels at peace. Chris asks her to jump into shark infested water..Yes..she responds enthusiastically.
Didn't really like Whitney's dress..i like the mint colour..but I seriously think i could have sewn that dress...They don't eat dinner. Chris gives her the card..says it's an important week for them both...what does Whitney say "check please"
FOD #3 Becca
I think the producers forgot to plan this date. They walked along some irrigation channels and stood in a creek and kissed. Then they went to temple..and had a chat with the town medium. The medium advised they were a good couple, that Becca was hard to control..and they needed to make love..facig west..hmmm..hey town medium..Becca is an east facer:) Maybe he was picking up confusing vibes from Kaitlyn and Whitney.
I like Becca. She seems really calm and collected...either that or she's dim and it takes her a long time to formulate an answer. Optimistic me..thinks she is the former.
Dinner date. No eating. Chris is sweating profusely. He presents the card
Even though I like Becca the virginity reveal was such a snore. But she had some outtakes saying she is feeling feelings and she's excited to see what happens.
She finally tells him in the suite. He's surprised..he said he didn't guess that. He made some awkward comment like he wanted to learn more about her. (?)
Did they sleep together. I really couldn't care at this point...I just want the rose ceremony to happen.
Chris drops by a cabana to have an iced tea with Chris. Chris H does his genius interview and even asks about Becca's reveal. Chris says that had a bad conversation. Becca is no sure she wants to move to Arlington. Yay honesty!! Chris (Bachelor) is conflicted and confused.
Rose Ceremony
Why they have a rose ceremony at a very sacred place. This show seems the opposite to sacred. But maybe in the women's mind's it's sacred and they can dissociate that the dude is sleeping with/spending the night with other women.
Dressed in tradtional garb...they all look they are wearing natural fibres...the girls dresses and both Chris' look like they are wearing absorbent materials. The colours were pretty on all the women. And both Chris' look good in white...they do look like they are about to do a martial art.
Whitney says she's very confident.
Chris is nervous..he calls out Becca. After all the chat about the terrible conversation..I thought for sure Becca was going home...until..he walks back in the temple with her!!!!
Whitney is now not so confident
I haven't felt this much suspense in so many season!! Almost as much as Brad Womack's second season.
Whitney gets the first rose.
Becca.the second.
Kaitlyn..goes home...
She's very sad. There were a few long minutes of her looking at Chris and looking to the side. Finally the black mini van engine starts ( I find it refreshing that there are not limos in Bali..or at least not on the show.but they still have to find a unnecessarily large vehicle to burn fossil fuels). She gets in..and perhaps most telling she says "this is the most humiliating moment of my life"...and like a good Canadian she fastens her seatbelt. Safety first...hopefully protection was used throughout this episode...although that can't cushion the emotional blows.
Next week..it's wtf..i mean WTA..(Women Tell All)
Until next week...I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

2-day extravaganza:
This is a two day extravaganza- what to report on...these were amazing episodes.
First..this season has got to be the season with the worst hotel rooms in Bachelor history.
Night one: Kinda like hometowns
Chris wants to take the girls to Iowa. They stay in Des Moines just 3 short hours away from Arlington. Jade is the lucky girl to get the real hometown date...where they toured his farm and then took the 1 minute tour of downtown Arlington.
Whitney gets the other 1:1 date...Whitney is so eager about everything. EVERYTHING. I like enthusiasm..but hers strikes me as a desperate eagerness. they have a downtown date..they take photos of each other..she was thrilled..later they met his friends..still thrilled...then they have a mural of them ..she was SO THRILLED.
The girls back at the hotel room need out. That was one ugly hotel room, not even the new accent pillows could refresh that tired looking room. The fake plants were awful.
Des Moines looked kinda pretty though
The girls who didn't get a 1:1 took a road trip to Arlington..where some of them were overwhelmed with how underwelmed they were. Like Britt. But Casey ensured she reported that detail to Chris not the skating date.
After the skating date..they went to a coffee shop...where Kaitlyn got the rose..that put Britt into a tizzy..she was slowly starting to unravel..and made it awkward to everyone after the rose was given to Kaitlyn..Britt can't recall that others have been in that position that she was in now.
Casey was so funny that episode..but i'm unconvinced she loves Chris that much..i'm convinced that she is looking to be loved.
Before the rose ceremony everyone is getting worried...Casey and Whitney are especially mad...
Britt gets let go. I think she was sobbing so loudly outside the house like a last ditch effort for Chris to get her to come back
At the rose ceremony Casey get the boot. I wonder if she sees Britt at the airport...
The real hometowns..
Becca - Louisiana
What was with Becca's top? It was like a tank top blouse? What was it all about..i guess it's good if you really want a good shoulder tan.
Becca is awaiting for Chris in a playground that is adjacent to a lake that has alligators (?!). No wonder there aren't any kids in that park. Oh.then they ride down in a canoe by the alligators.
Then they meet Becca's family in a well-appointed home. How does Becca not pass on any make up tips to her sister. That was a way too smoky eye. Becca's sister took Chris aside to tell him Becca is not an intimate person. And that she doesn't do PDA..just because someone isn't into PDA doesn't mean they are not intimate..and what does "not an intimate person " really supposed to mean?
Take-home from this hometown: BECCA HAS NEVER BEEN IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP BEFORE.
Whitney-Chicago
(warning-I find Whitney annoying..i'll try hard to be a bit more positive)
Whitney is walks with purpose. And she is singularly focused...oops actually she's doubly focused...she really wants to be with Chris. She meets Chris in a park and tells him she is going give him a tour of her life...First off to the clinic..where she is MESMERIZED with how cute is in scrubs...she gives him the birds and the bees talk..test tube style..then she takes him to the men's room..replete with adult movies and Playboy magazines (wonder if Jade's issue was there)...and she would test his sperm. Guess what ..she was JUST JOSHIN'...oh that Whitney. (pfffttt.marching soldiers comment)
Then they are off to meet her sister, brother in law and her uncle. Another well appointed place with great light fixtures...they are all welcoming. I kinda like Whitney's uncle. Whitney pulls her sister aside to TELL her how into Chris she is and to TELL her that it is ON HER to give her blessing WHEN Chris asks for it. Whitney was doing no listening. Kimberly was not as enthused...i like that she told Chris she'd give her blessing when Whitney was not a 25% chance.
Whitney then took Chris home. I'm not surprised that Whitney has a small yappy dog. Whitney pulls out a bottle of wine that she said she was going to drink with her husband. Her and Chris embrace.
Take home from this hometown: WHITNEY LOVES CHRIS!!!!!!!!!
Kaitlyn - Leduc I mean Phoenix.
Aww..no Alberta visit for Chris. Kaitlyn's family winters in Phoenix.
First they have a rap session.
Her parents and their spouses an her sister are all present..they all get along..Sweet. Not much happens. Except the little detail of the billboard that reveals Kaitlyn hearts Chris. That Kaitlyn has a hard time expressing with words..hopefully the billboard cuts it.
I"m betting her top is from Maison Scotch:)
Take-home from this hometown: Kaitlyn still has a wall-up.
Jade- Omaha
Whoa..I thought that hometowns had home staging done. Nope. Especially not in Jade's case. But outdated coaches and windows coverings are the least of her problems.
She has to have a revealing date.(heh heh)
Chris meets her dad, the dad's fiancee, the brothers and the mom. Chris makes an excellent decision to give the flowers to Jade's mom.
Jade's brothers have nothing notable to say except Jade is a 'wild mustang'. I love how supportive Jade's dad is of her..and then he had a cry. Awww...his quote "don't let someone put you down for who you are".
Chris who was all convinced of her midwest values..his interest is piqued. Since the date was so early, they go back to his really ugly hotel room. Were those brass doorknobs? Jade tells Chris about her Playboy photo shoot and then show him. Chris is nervous. I mean..whaddya say? But he was actually super sweet. Jades leaves the lap top with Chris..and appears to leave his hotel room in her socks..do you have to take your shoes off at the door of this hotel room?
Rose Ceremony
Ugh..Whitney got the rose..she takes the rose and I think she burned some laser focus into his corneas.
Kaitlyn (YAY!)
Becca (OKAY!)
Jade gets the boot. Chris is affected..he even pulls a Mesnick in the hotel.
Next week..the FODs in Bali!!
Until next week - I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Clear the deadwood
This Bachelor is turning the beat around..
Leftover Rose Ceremony from last week.
But .ooo.right..Kelsey is having a fake panic attack..it was like a wheezy cry...I thought panic attacks were flushed chest, difficulty breathing..i didn't know they could take this form. Kelsey was writing on the floor and clutching her chest. Whitney's the fertility nurse's medical assessment of the situation..."it's weird". Thanks Nurse Whitney. But she is a fertility nurse...maybe she only specialized in contractions below the navel.
But Kelsey perked up with some CO2 (Chris and some oxygen)
All good.
Samantha (who's that ) and McKenzie go home. Oh.and Ashley was crying out of nervous ness.but she gets the rose!
Beccas' make-up- Becca is heavily made up..but I wonder what foundation she uses...and she must use some heavy duty primer because her makeup always looks perfect...not amazing...but perfect...
Excellent coverage she she is sans pores.
Despite the US economy taking an upturn...the Bachelor is keeping' costs low..and headin' to Deadwood...Deadwood describes who action packed this episode was.
First one on one.Boring Becca with perfect foundation. She has a great date outfit..loved the sweater and shirt..and she rode the horse like a champ. Then then went to a fire and tried to roast some skewered chicken and vegetables that looked like they were leftover from the last camping date. Did Chris even cooks those skewers. Oh.Becca's a virgin..and she finds kissing awkward..on TV because her dad will see. I forgot what Becca's occupation was..not too bright if she doesn't like PDA..that's what one signs up for on this show.
Becca gets the rose...
Big and Rich
Didn't they break up? I'm sure I saw that on a a CMA show..I guess they don't make TMZ much...my main source of pop culture info.
Well - I thought it was going to be a hoe-down..but nope..more like song writing and singing in a bar where they let a few patrons watch. The girls write songs for Chris..Carly was amazing. Britt was cute..Jade worked through her fears.
I'm pretty sure Big was drunk during this...
After the serenading..they sat around..and Chris had a few one on ones where women reassured him they were interested in him. Sell Sell Sell.
Britt - I wonder if she showered for Deadwood - got whisked away by Chris where she faked being excited for a Big and Rich concert...The other pretty little tumbleweeds sat back at the bar and waited around and got progressively more insecure..Meanwhile Chris presents Britt with a rose on stage..Britt says that she feels everyone in the concert (all 250 of them)..wanted to be her. The..the
Pièce de résistance....Chris and Britt danced (or more like Britt jumped around) to the song Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy. Nope Britt..not everyone wishes they were you at that time.
Britt got the rose..and a whole heap o tension back when Chris returned with her..Then Chris says he wishes he could bring back the positive joy..tough to be positively joyous when you are being rejected...
Two on one
Kelsey and Ashley....they are more the same than opposite..all three are pumped to ride in a helicopter!!!!! (I don't understand helicopter enthusiasm on the show)...To the badlands..and in a nutshell..they all went to a bad place. They get dropped off near a canopied bed..then they get private time by some dusty rocks. Ashely is mean about Kelsey. Kelsey feels self righteous. chris tells Kelsey (what a ding dong) Kelsey confronts Ashley..to noone's surprrise.Ashley loses it...gets sent packing..by that i mean someone (who apparently has no access to hair, makeup or wardrobe)is dispatched to pick up her suitcases..The girls are shocked and saddened..Then Chris breaks the news to Kelsey that she is gonzo..She keeps her chin up..because above everyone is where she is..I like how Kelsey constantly reframes things..first this was going to be her love story..then she ends with saying that this was her attempt at adventure in love. Then the disheveled suitcase fetcher gets her bags..the girls rejoice!!!
But all this drama means no rose ceremony!!
Until next week...I LOVE THIS SHOW!!

Hey Hey Hey - to finding love in Sante Fe
You know..everyone is caring what Chris is thinking.
I think to be a bachelorette, one must suspend any critical thinking (of oneself..they are quick to be critical of others) and worry about what Chris is thinking.
The Bachelor is like a weird prison..you can't leave, you have supervised outings and the warden (Christ) and his helper (Chris H) get to decide when you leave.
The girls head to Sante Fe!! Three cheers..hey hey hey..to finding love in Santa Fe
Which is not a different country - Megan. Yeesh.
Love guru.
The first on one one is with Carlie..the cruise ship singer...she reminds me a bit of a cross between Katie Perry and Amy Poehler. I like Carlie.but Carlie has been wounded in love.
They go meet the love guru..is that really a thing?
Carlie and Chris get suited up in white garb (Carlie's has draw string) and the love guru makes them unpant, i men unmask, blind fold and breathe on each other. I felt just as awkward watching this as I do when Ashley I and Chris kiss.
They did bare (not literally) a lot to each other...pretty intense conversation for the Bachelor..she telling Chris she felt unworthy of love and Chris saying he wasn't sure someone would want to live on a farm. Pretty honest...Gotta give it up to the love guru..maybe the burning sage did something after all.
Then it turned into a typical bachelor date when they went off to a room and sat/lounged by a fireplace surrounded by pillows that was a spot that was conducive to lying down. They remained upright and honest. I like Carlie..too bad she needs to get validation from a dude to feel attractive..it's understandable but hard to hear that someone else's opinion will influence what she thinks of herself.
Carlie gets the rose!
The Rapids date that was the LONGEST DATE EVER
what snore.
They rode rapids.
Jordan came back at the cocktail party (gasp)..how long is the ride from Colorado to Sante Fe.
Everyone is steaming mad that Jordan is back..it wrecks the cocktail party. They are all wondering What is Chris thinking??
As if seeking re-election - Chris doesn't want to disappoint the masses..so he ejects Jordan..and she's sent packing.i mean..driving (her suitcase was probably still in her trunk)
Fave quote of that date: ashely "my mind is boggled"
Britt -
One of the most fascinating facts of the night was that Britt doesn't shower. That is the most fascinating question of the evening. I can understand multiples days of not hair washing? But non showering. Is it an aesthetic thing? Does she think it will dry out her skin? Is she big on water conservation? She also sleeps with her make up on. But if she doesn't wash...how would she remove it??
She gets a surprise wake up call. The night before she was crying because her date card said something about being sky high.and she has a huge fear of heights. Chris wakes her up..she rushes around to find clothes..and puts on dirty socks (ewww...but she doesn't wash so it doesn't matter).
How does she look so good without showering. Like really. For someone who was so scared of heights she was ecstatic of a a hot air balloon ride. Last time I checked those go pretty high..and you are flying around in a basket. Well, they have a romantic time.hopefully Chris is upwind of Britt. They kiss. A lot. the hot air balloon attendant must just be focusing on the flame. Not of lot of options for him in the basket.
After the hot air balloon ride..Chris takes her to his room..where they crawl clothed into bed..and 'nap'. Well hot air balloon rides are pretty tiring. Oh they had coffee and snacks too.
Kelsey's story
Kelsey tells Chris she is a widow..and creepily gives a monologue on camera how this is her love story too. Is she lying about being a widow? She seems very intent on having limelight and having this being told in story books. So she's a guidance counsellor. Really?
It seemed weird that she wanted to make out with Chris after she tells him this story.
I think the Bachelor skimped on psychological testing for this batch of contestants.
Cocktail Party
Scratch that. Chris knows what he wants and he announces the conversation he had with Kelsey made him reflect on things. Kelsey (who i'm certain is wearing Stella and Dot earrings) seems very assured that she is not going home..until Chris cancels the rose ceremony. She gets up..and then goes and has a panic attack.
Rose Ceremony
That's right..no ceremony! We need to attend to Kelsey's panic attack...
What happens..I guess we find out next week..
Until then,
I LOVE THIS SHOW.

Everyone is steaming mad that Jordan is back..it wrecks the cocktail party. They are all wondering What is Chris thinking??
As if seeking re-election - Chris doesn't want to disappoint the masses..so he ejects Jordan..and she's sent packing.i mean..driving (her suitcase was probably still in her trunk)
Fave quote of that date: ashely "my mind is boggled"
Britt -
One of the most fascinating facts of the night was that Britt doesn't shower. That is the most fascinating question of the evening. I can understand multiples days of not hair washing? But non showering. Is it an aesthetic thing? Does she think it will dry out her skin? Is she big on water conservation? She also sleeps with her make up on. But if she doesn't wash...how would she remove it??
She gets a surprise wake up call. The night before she was crying because her date card said something about being sky high.and she has a huge fear of heights. Chris wakes her up..she rushes around to find clothes..and puts on dirty socks (ewww...but she doesn't wash so it doesn't matter).
How does she look so good without showering. Like really. For someone who was so scared of heights she was ecstatic of a a hot air balloon ride. Last time I checked those go pretty high..and you are flying around in a basket. Well, they have a romantic time.hopefully Chris is upwind of Britt. They kiss. A lot. the hot air balloon attendant must just be focusing on the flame. Not of lot of options for him in the basket.
After the hot air balloon ride..Chris takes her to his room..where they crawl clothed into bed..and 'nap'. Well hot air balloon rides are pretty tiring. Oh they had coffee and snacks too.
Kelsey's story
Kelsey tells Chris she is a widow..and creepily gives a monologue on camera how this is her love story too. Is she lying about being a widow? She seems very intent on having limelight and having this being told in story books. So she's a guidance counsellor. Really?
It seemed weird that she wanted to make out with Chris after she tells him this story.
I think the Bachelor skimped on psychological testing for this batch of contestants.
Scratch that. Chris knows what he wants and he announces the conversation he had with Kelsey made him reflect on things. Kelsey (who i'm certain is wearing Stella and Dot earrings) seems very assured that she is not going home..until Chris cancels the rose ceremony. She gets up..and then goes and has a panic attack.
That's right..no ceremony! We need to attend to Kelsey's panic attack...
What happens..I guess we find out next week..
Until then,
I LOVE THIS SHOW.
