I'm sure Mary J Blige is cringing somewhere...so much drama!! I'd venture there is MORE drama here than in previous Bachelor episodes.
First we start off with Demario..who is on the watered down driveway and wants to make things right with Rachel. He says that he heard a quote that She lends him an ear...but not an olive branch. Demario, denied...looks to the camera and says Damn.
I don't think he was being legit.
Back at the cocktail party..it looked like Dean was hugging Lee.
Meanwhile Alex was completing a Rubik's cube, Kenny was showing photos of his daughter..and Jonathan brought out the big hands....all the better to tickle her with. (when is the tickle monster thing going to be unveiled)
Blake continues to be annoyed by Whaboom.
Wham tells Rachel that Blake eats an banana over Whabooms bed at night. When Rachel asks Blake his defence? The diet defense. "Uh. I follow a ketogenic diet I don't eat bananas".
That makes me bananas. The guy is drinking alcohol. If he's so into enhancing fat oxidation, why is he drinking alcohol? Why am I getting worked up...yikes...I've found Blake annoying from Day 1.
Whaboom is a weird one too though.
They both get punted..and some other guy whose name I can't remember. When Alex got the rose he said something in Russian to her...a simple "Da" would have sufficed.
Blake continues his anger outside the mansion, expressing how fake Whaboom is and how W is there for the wrong and even oddly imitating him.
Someone give Blake some carbs.
Group Date
AHHHH!!! The ELLEN Show!!! My dream is to be on that show!! I love her so so so much.
The guys come through security and Ellen and Rachel talk about them. Ellen (just like me), does NOT like that the guy tickled Rachel on the first night. Yes..tickling is weirdly tortuous to me.
Ellen tickles him as soon as she sees him and then hugs all the other guys.
The guys turn out to be entertainment and have to dance shirtless for dollah bills. Alex finds his inner Cossack and unleashes his Russian prowess across the demographics of Ellen's audience. Speaking of graphic..what kind of print was on Alex's pants. Mind you..i was too mesmerized by all of his abs to pay attention to his pantsTickle guy can't dance though. Next we learn that Alex peed in the pool,and we learn which guys have kissed Rachel which is making Fred all nervous.
After the show..Fred tries to step up his game and asks Rachel for permission to kiss her..then does it...I'm cringing outwardly as a I watch that kiss go down. The kiss went down for quite a while.and i was wondering if Rachel was into it. Freddie did get super vulnerable...
Alex said Nyet to his mother's advice of not kissing Rachel..and kissed her...it seemed super awkward..What is not awkward is the Peter/Rachel chemistry. Peter is dreamy.
Rachel takes the rose and Freddie to another room..where she tells Freddie she still sees him as a boy..and he leaves...poor Freddie.
Meet me at the Rodeo
Rachel meets that tall drink of water Anthony downtown..where is seems she has to explain the Rodeo metaphor slowly to Anthony. Anthony mounted that horse and they moseyed along..stopping in to do some shopping at get some Automated Cupcake delivery. Seemed like a super attention seeking date..however that's L.A though..too glam to give a damn.
They got off the horses and dined on a hilltop with an incredible view. Anthony seemed super grouded..Rachel dug it..and then they had a quartet mini-concert..where I"m not sure if Anthony was feeling the feels but he was coppping the feels.
Sometimes in a relationship the women take charge....
sigh...this is the relationship propaganda that gets propagated in this show...it's a power struggle..sometimes the woman is in charge...yeesh..but back the romance...Rachel's friends are the former bachelor contestants..and she trusts these women to help her. These girls plan a mud wrestling competition. Seems super classy. I don't think Corinne would have much to do for this date.
My biggest question on the date was what was Rachel's top made of and how did the strings stay taut. Must be a body suit..and would make for bad tan lines.
Not surprisingly Kenny wins most of the fighting..but Bryce wins the whole thing...and Kenny was gracious in defeat. Maybe prominent jawbones are correlated with wrestling ability. I'm a bit distracted by the prominence...but they soften when he talks..he seems like a really sweet person.
It was funny that the boys had to shower off in the alley beside the bar. reminded me of some precarious bath situations I had on the farm in Croatia in the 80s. At least there were no chickens running around in the alley.
At the debrief/after mud wrestling party...Kenny comes clean that he was a Chippendale dancer..but it was 'mainly choreography'. I'm wondering if a switch went off in Rachel's mind that I can't date a Chippendale dancer/wrestler....Kenny also demonstrated some moves that I'm guessing he thought she would find appealing..he even wore a special t-shirt that tore off neatly...Not sure if the bump and grind was stimulating her mind.
Rachel took Eric aside and had her head on his chest...she's got it bad for Eric physically...must say with her eyes closes..her slate sparkly eyeshadow was gorgeous..props to the make up artist. Eric told her how vulnerable he is. Adam unfortunately wore a burgundy leather jacket..Adam..so cute..bad jacket choice. Lee spouts off to Eric that he has a lot of potential but he has no love experience...Lee is being an a$$..he's really just making issues....shouldn't he go write a song for Rachel..he really could be more productive.
Eric gets the rose!!
Back at the cocktail party...Lee and Iggy tell Rachel that Eric was doubting how genuine Rachel was. So rachel find Eric and gives him a chance to explain...Eric is such an intent listener..but he looks like he's going to explode...This make Eric call a meeting of the men...telling them to mind their own business...Lee says that Eric is the one with the issue..which makes Eric jump around and yell My name is in your mouth. I totally agree with Eric...get his name out of your mouths:) If I was Rachel ...i'd wonder why everyone was so concerned with Eric and not with being 100 about their own relationship.
Then the show ended...
Whose name will be in Rachel's mouth next week?????
Until next week..
I love this show!!!!!!
