Bachelor on a Budget
The roses are given out..and where are they off to....New Orleans. There must be some good trips coming up for the show because so far they've been at the mansion, Wisconsin and next..New Orleans...at low season. Very likely low season because there were very few people in the streets, they stayed at the JW Marriott (where they felt it necessary to jump on the beds- seriously why?) and the dates didn't even involve a lot of fossil fuels...typically Bachelor dates are not energy efficient.
Well..the mood was dark and heavy for most of the show.
Except for Rachel. I LOVE Rachel. She does have a bit of a Rhi Rhi vibe except the friendliness is dialled up a notch. She is honest, excited...and has butterflies.They have a 1:1. Nick says he's going to 'treat her right' and buy her a lot of things. At a flea market. Charming. Then they dance through the streets. She is feeling the music and energy..and Nick is ..well..he's trying to be fluid. She looks so fab in her white top and yellow shorts. I just love Rachel...and she is digging Nick...i'm so happy she's happy:) They go for dinner and have meaningful conversation..she mentions how the last time she was in NOLA she was at a funeral and it made her reflect on her own life and owning the present moment. Rachel way to bring some stoic philosophy into a show that typically isn't that philosphical. Nick totally is into Rachel and talks about meeting her family and how much he loves her confidence and how he clicks with her and how he wants her family to know that she is respected. Nick...well done...And Rachel concludes with " I don't believe in fairy tales...but today was a fairy tale". Coincidentally, there were commercials for the upcoming Beauty and the Beast movie. Rachel is a beauty...Just keep keeping it 100 Rachel:)
And for the rest of the show....darkness.
The girls are dreading who will be on the group date since the two left will be on the 2:1.
The group date is another low energy date. They visit a haunted house. The lights get turned off. Things rattle, rock and fall. There is a ouija board and candle light. It's a big snore. Danielle (the blonde) reconnects and feels here relationship is stronger with Nick after one kiss..and Raven tells Nick she fell in love with him. Raven really needs to fly the coop. She beats her cheating boyfriend and falls in love with a guy who took her on a date and roller-skated with her in a museum.
Danielle gets the group date rose(which was under a dome? why?)..and I still don't know who took the ghost's baby doll.
(and I think my 9 year old nephew can do better special effects on his iPad than the producers did making the haunted house 'special effects')
Shallow and murky waters- and the Bayou
Corinne and Taylor are on the 2:1. Corinne is pretty shallow and Taylor's judgment is clouded.
Corinne's monologues are petty and juvenile. Her outfits reflect her depth...there's not much there. But Taylor..who is supposed to have some critical thinking skills- cannot detach . She feels she needs to school Corinne in how immature she is and how underdeveloped with Emotional Intelligence is. For all this talk of emotional intelligence...Taylor doesn't define it nor does she seem to practice it. She gets mired and bogged down in how angry she is at Corinne. And these two women are off on a Bayou date. The whole date is odd..and it starts with the blonde guy jumping on the motorboat. Why is noone wearing life jackets? or maybe a life jacket won't help when you're in alligator infested waters. The three cruise off to a some voodoo person..then there is card reading...and some 1:1 time. Corinne thinks she's in the jungle. While Taylor gets some validation in her card reading...Corinne tells Nick she' bullied. Taylor has some 1:1 time with nick..but to no avail..because Nick gives the rose to Corinne. Taylor walks off, but then has to come back to the table because some producer probably said "where are you going..there are snacks and alligators out here"..so she has to see Nick an Corrine boat off on brown waters...and then they kiss..after Corinne ties her hair in a pony tail. I be Corinne wishes she wore a belt..she seemed to be pulling up her pants a lot.
But it's so NOT OVAH! Taylor is a water sign! (not sure what that means)..but she goes back to the voodoo circle to get watered I think..as if to fortify herself to talk to Nick. Taylor was so silent when nick didn't pick here...I was really happy she didn't cry:)
Nick and Corinne sit down to dinner...but they won't be there long..becuase Taylor is back from the j
Until next week...
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
