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!!!
