I actually cried

What is wrong with me?
First, I get surprisingly upset/angry/annoyed that the show last week was a repeat then this week I cried at one of the good-byes..
But it wasn't the one with Alex:

Alex 1:1 Date.
I used Alex's one on one date as an opportunity to make tea..and practice a speech for Toastmasters.
His whine-ness, his demeanor, his monologue..all very annoying. It all just spoke to his neediness. Later I stopped feeling annoyed at him but then just kinda felt that he is just needs a lot of validation...Earlier this season I thought James was the one who needed to work on appreciating himself...but at least James has some self awareness about it.

The lack of conversation in the truck ride over was compensated for by some salty snacks. Jo Jo even rebuffed one of his attempts to kiss her with his potato chip lips

Alex became a gaucho..it became very clear that colour blocking doesn't suit him..he likely should go monochromatic.
The guy who tamed the horse..that whole scene was very powerful and so beautiful..it likely was so overpowering the Jo Jo thought for a moment that she had feelings for Alex..I'm guessing the romance of the countryside and the connection between the gaucho and the horse was overwelming..Jo Jo and Alex even share a moment kissing over the horse's head.  If I was the horse I would have been cringing.

Jo Jo sends him home later in the date. He handles it horribly. I expected that. That was very gauche (not gaucho) of him.
PS..i'm not sure which gaucho was which Oscar or Carlos..but one of them was hot..i've realized I generally crush on people whose name start or ends with a vowel. Seems very exotic/international.

And the opposite of that is..
Jordan..the All american football guy whose front wave in his hair rivals some tides in California.
No surprise Jordan gets a one on one. They board a plane..she reaches over for his hand...they hop over to Mendoza..and head to a vineyard. They crush some grapes barefoot, and she's evidently crushing on him...She has to hop over in his barrel...Jo Jo seems so clingy with Jordan..they continue to stomp grapes..then drink it. (Least romantic comment of the season "I drank what your feet touched")...ewwww...she's thrown all infection control caution to the wind. Is that what happens when you're in love???

Jo Jo wants to know who she will meet of the football fam jam. Looks like Jordan is not so friendly with his famous brother. He starts to smack of sincerity...I like it...He's looking better to me:)..Their food remains untouched..Jordan did declare earlier that he's the pickiest eater. That and his hair are annoying:)

Group date
Due to inclement weather the group date activities were cancelled..i was getting the idea..that there may be limited activities in Buenos Aries..so they end up in the hotel room . Jo Jo says she loves local cuisine but orders fries, fried chicken and pizza...No one actually eats this ..except James shoves 25 french fries in his mouth...charming.  Then they play truth or dare..Robby's abs (all 6 of them are on point) are on display..they play charades and watch a Spanish version of the Bachelorette..all in bed together..She takes the men one by one for alone time..and tells each of them something fantastic...

Robby gets the rose and she gets to run her hands done his abs for some extra time.

Save the most intense for last
Luke gets the last date. Luke really doesn't smile..he just does everything intensely...the cowboy side of him..suits him..he even wore a denim shirt..and he wore it so so well. There was even some skeet shooting..and he taught Jo Jo how to hit the mark...Well clearly he hit the mark..it's so evident that she's smitten..and Luke is all in...

Jo Jo sends him to saunter off back to the house..because she don't need no cocktail party..her mind's made up.


Rose Ceremony
The guys all looked good..well James suit looked a little off...but he put extra stuff in his hair to slick it down...an I knew it was between him and Chase..
Jo Jo gives the rose to Luke, Jordan AND....
Chase!?! Whah? what does she have with Chase.

I was legit crestfallen for  James. She told him he has all the qualities in a husband and father..
and when Jo Jo walked him out he was the most delightful wonderful and caring person toward her. His sincerity made me cry...his "everyone keeps telling me I'm a good guy" that was a bit lame and it seemed like he was feeling sorry for himself..but what he said about missing her..and thanking her...what a sweetheart... I don't hope for someone to fall in love with him..I hope he thinks he's the most amazing person and he should be happy with that..and if someone sees that then it's great..and if not..he'll be just fine. I still can't believe i cried...

Until next week..and the hometowns..see y'all in the U S of A..and
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
