What happened to Jo Jo's stylist?

This show made every attempt at passion..drama, arts, tango...
It all fell flat.
Especially the first date..where on the date card called out.Besame..
That shout out on the card was for Wells.
Apparently Wells hasn't kissed Jo Jo yet..and the guys were giving him a hard time and/or were surprised he hasn't kissed her yet. So. Odd. 
I found it so odd that they thought it was odd that he hadn't kissed her yet and they were all sitting around saying that he really should kiss her or he'd be gone. So they want all to be swapping spit with each other. I guess on one hand they are very encouraging of one another. It just seems bacteria-laden and kinda like brother husbands (the opposite of sister wives)

Wells looked fantastic. They go out in a market..and in the time honoured Bachelor fashion- he buys her a piece of jewellery. They go into what looks like a museum to view an art installation but there are people cavorting in water sliding above. They go do some performance art..Slipping into some water gear and doing some slip and slide sets the mood for Wells..and they kiss! It's all good..and I don't get as creepy a feeling as when I see Nick or Luke kiss Jo Jo.

Then they head to a hot dinner..so hot that Wells has to take his jacket off. Wells makes a few mistakes...First..he doesn't tell Jo Jo that he's falling for her Second he said that the passion died in his 4 year relationship and they were just best friends. Jo Jo didn't like that- I thought she didn't like the "just best friends" but she didn't like the "the passion died part". Jo Jo is looking for unicorns and fantasy..and she thinks it exists..The sad music came on..Wells is on his way out..

And Jo Jo went to the concert with the performance artists solo. And it rained on her. Pathetic fallacy? We will see...


Group date: a walk..and soccer..
The group date guys go for a walk...then they play soccer. Jo Jo's amazing boots turned into running shoes. 
When the guys (with defined abs) would score a goal..they would lift their shirt up...as some homage to the goal scored.
Then they go sit around somewhere so Jo Jo can have more one on one time to get to know  get flattered by and kissed by the guys.
Luke is first up. Luke is very solemn and is very serious about kissing her.  He's very intense..which borders on too much..but not for Jo JO.she says she's running out of words" to describe the passion they have. All know is he likes to squeeze her thigh and rummage through her hair like he's doing a pat down.

Meanwhile..the not as passionate but super enthusiastic says he's on a train to Jo-Jo ville. Wow James..that's so romantic.Well he may be on the train to Jo Jo ville but he's not conducting himself in a mature way- he uses he 1;1 time to tell Jo Jo that Jordan is entitled because of dispute about the rules of a poker game. sigh..James wants to be upstanding...but you don't get there by putting other people down. Then after telling on Jordan he says "now can i kiss you". Yeesh. He's not got game.
Jo Jo is so upset with this that that she takes Jordan aside and holds his hand and strokes his hair and tells him what she wants to be told and gives him answers to the questions she is asking. Shockingly, Jordan is exonerated. But Jordan is upset by this acton of James' and goes back to the room full of guys and furiously swirls his white wine. That Jordan gets so scary when he's angry.

And the winner of the rose is...Luke. Because he  brought the passion...and left it..on Jo Jo's tonsils.

Most Awkward 2:1 date
A 2:1 date can't be un-awkward..but a 2:1 with a 2:1 tango. Wow. I think I looked away from the TV  more than when Luke kisses Jo Jo. Chase and Derek came to this date to win her over. Derek confidently stated that he's there with his heart and Derek is there with his mind.
That dress was not attractive..did Jo Jo's stylist not make it to Argentina or did the US dresses get stuck in customers and they had to "buy local".
After the dancing they had dinner..and Jo Jo had another unfortunate dress that looked like it had black lace added to it as an afterthought. 
I thought Derek was going to get the rose..but when Chase had 1:1 time Jo Jo told him what she needed to hear and he got the rose. Even though she had to tell him what to say and he looked like a waiter..he still got the rose. Jo Jo said Adio to Derek..and he was left driving away in a black van while the shots switched from  Chase and Jo Jo making out all high school dance like to the song Don't Cry for Me Argentina..while Derek is driving down some unfamiliar roads in Buenos Aires..hopefully he made it out okay..well except for the tears streaming down his face

Who wore it the worst-the cocktail party

Can we take a moment to say that was a hideous blue dress and there were some equally horrible suits.
James Tip Top/Sears catalogue green shirt/tie combo..Alex's awful satin-y tie..that he can't quite tie up...maybe he has a bulging Adam's apple to match is biceps..and then Robbie I don't wear socks tight cream suit. That suit severely limited his ability to have a normal gait. And then Jo Jo's dress..I"m sure someone from my grade 12 grad had that dress...that dress had it all..spaghetti straps, sequins, satin, cinching, length and a train. 
Jordan promises we wants to be in love and engaged at the end of this. Note what he did not say in that statement..it's left for Jo Jo to interpret..and she lapped it all up.
James promises her he will always be there for her
Alex-oh who cares..he's so annoying.

This was such a twist! She hands a rose to Robbie (which he barely made it over to her without splitting his pants)..then Jordan..then declares she can't give out the final rose..and what happens TWO ROSES!! 
James is so thankful.
Alex is yipping that it's a pity rose and he never gets a one on one date.

Where are they going next week...Looks like they are back in the U S of A.
Hopefully Jo Jo's stylist is back with us next week..

Until then
I LOVE THIS SHOW!
