Highly entertaining episode.
First Group Date: Fire Academy.
Jo Jo arrives at the house and extinguishes a limo that is aflame while the men watch. But the point of the visit to the fire academy date is to see who will save jo jo..and then spend more time with her. But a mere minute ago, when the men heard a big bang from the house and run out to see a limo on fire..they all stand around with their hands in the pockets..noone is rushing around to see if she needs some saving...hmm maybe a visit to the fire academy will help with the bravado. Jo Jo only puts on half of the firefighter uniform. I'm sure her tank top is flame resistant...but the guys all say she's smokin'.
I developed a mini crush on Wells; although he lacks muscle mass, he's cute, self deprecating and funny.
Jo Jo provides an eloquent commentary "These guys are really hauling a$$!". Daniel makes some comment about pulling hoses in his apartment. Sober Daniel remains unimpressive.
Luke almost wins the challenge..but who wins..the firefighter. Yup. Grant represent.
Him and Jo Jo have some lukewarm conversation.
At the little party..Luke and Jo Jo have a passionate kiss..but...
Wells gets a rose. Persistence and humour is the way to Jo Jo's heart.
Meanwhile back at the house...Chad is doing chin ups using a weighted suitcase.
1:1 Derek
Derek is simply adorbs. They make a series of decisions that takes them to the Golden Gate bridge. Someone cheated on Derek:( He opens up to Jo Jo.
Let me say it again. Derek is adorbs.
Back at the house..it's like Bachelor camp and James Taylor is leading them all in a sing a long. It all seems a bit ridiculous..but they all seem like they are having fun, singing about the same girl they are vying for. The Bachelor mansion messes with people's brains..well except for Chad..he and his homie Daniel are hanging out. I think Daniel has a man crush on Chad..as they recline on the couch in their black tank tops..showing their pecs and bis.They try to draw an analogy "if you made a protein shake of the group of guys". What did that mean. That was whey too dumb:)
Group Date at ESPN
They go to a sports station. (Is that actually a TV channel?. I doubt I have it..splurged this season to get the time shift package so I can watch the Bachelor early and not be up late writing the RR.) Jo Jo has this doily-esque blouse ..looks so similar to ones I have folded in my closet that I couldn't throw away in my minimalism challenge because they were gifted to me and hand crocheted over in Croatia..so I appreciated her blouse .
They meet some hosts..and have some silly competitions like strike a rose, twirl and propose and press conference. This is where I started to like Chad a bit more. I agree with what he had to say about Jo Jo..he doesn't know her or love her, but wants to get to know her. Yup. Agree:)
At the little get together., Jo Jo wore a tassle-y sweater..that kinda reminded me of a blanket you'd get at Winners- but it looked cosy.Chad reveals his mom died 6 months ago :( and that he has his mom's Maltese puppy. He seems kinda genuine with her. Nick chooses to jump and sit in the big chair with Jo Jo. Chad provides commentary that Jo Jo doesn't want a short guy. Dunno about that...apparently Pitbull's tagline is 'single,bilingual and ready to mingle". (Pitbull has 6 kids and is unmarried)..so I wouldn't write Nick off because of his height:)
James reads her an adorable note..and James gets the rose!
All the smack talk about Chad during the party was getting tiresome. Yes, Chad really laid into the cold cuts or as some guys remarked "you're really crushing the food". And if I'm going to get picky- he really could have used a fork. But the guys were relentless in their 'dissing' of Chad.
Chad's comments about feeling like he was in West Side story or that he felt like he was being surrounded by Care Bears made me laugh. When people just talk about other people...i wonder how much confidence and/ or intelligence they have.
The guys seems like they are so offended that Chad won't spend time with them. Then there was the almost altercation and a threat of loosing teeth. Sigh. Why can't people use their words.
The ED specialist apparently has 3 kids..so he can take his own medicine.
sad that Bachelor super fan didn't get the rose..and I'm not sure if the boxing coach got one.
And I haven't seen much of Vinny..but for some reason I'm so happy there's a guy named Vinny still on the show. Feels refreshingly northside.
Until next week.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!
