Round 1: Kenny vs Lee

Aww shucks there will be no shagging

The producers tried everything to see if there was going to be a connection with Jack and Rachel..first  they shagged - a partner dance that originated in the Carolinas. The dates have not gone international...the shag would have been another dance of sorts. You could tell during the dancing that the chemistry was not there ..for Rachel. Like  Peter, I have a knack for reading Rachel.
Then they shucked oysters and ate them. Apparently Cassonova had 50 oysters for breakfast every morning. Supposedly oysters are supposed to have some aphrodisiac properties...all I know is that they are the highest food source of zinc..which helps boost immunity.

I could tell Rachel was immune to Jack. Jack was saying how great everything was...then he tries to kiss her and she says "you'll get sick". Whah? did we know Rachel had a cold? She really was not feeling Jack.

At dinner it got worse..he was oblivious to her uninterested vibe. And started asking about her father and if he was funny..because Jack likes to joke around..then he say you get that from your father...not even asking about Rachel's mother. Jack says he's like to take her away from this..and she said " what would do in Dallas"..his response..we'd just lie in bed and chill and talk. YAWN..a man without a plan. I felt uncomfortable for Rachel...so she pulled the rose  plug and told him that she wasn't feeling the X factor. Jack did not make it easy for her..so she had to offer to walk him out.

There was no van talk with Jack..likely because he didn't have anything interesting to say.

I've been so mesmerized by Peter's cute gap and confidence that I wasn't noticing he has really bad grammar...he has a difficult time with subject/verb grammar.

Now to some Country Grammar..not the Nelly type...i'm talking about Lee. He is just spouting off about Kenny. I don't know if the producers put Lee up to this. Lee sees this as a competition I think, and some type of Survivor/Big Brother type competition. So much negativity. Will tries to explain to Lee that black men may see being called aggressive as racially charge. Lee states "I don't understand the race card". Ugh. The guy asks no questions. Not asking questions is my #1 pet peeve, followed by  public nail clipping.

Meanwhile Kenny is trying to keep the snake analogy alive-talking about Lee slithering..and he even uses the Eve/snake allegory...

Cocktail party (cancelled0
Rose ceremony
Iggy and Tickle monster go home.
Ticklemonster gets in one last tickle. Wow...how annoying.
Iggy sheds tears..and says he learned so much about himself! Good job Iggy.

They are off to Oslo!! (Rachel had to include Norway just so they knew where they were all going)

Rappeling and SO much attraction.
Bryan would not be my number 1 choice. He seems so needy and clingy..but as the date progressed, they really seem so into eachother.
They rapelled of a ski jump..and Bryan needed to kiss her mid-air.

Rachel is questioning why Bryan is still single. Ahem..that is a really dumb question.
1. the person hasn't found someone
2. the person doesn't want to date just anyone
3. the person might find most people underwelming.
those are some potential reasons why Bryan may be single:) well that and maybe he's too clingy and women find it cloying.

They got sit at dinner. Rachel has perfect yellow/gold eyeshadow...Her lashes are overkill but that eyeshadow game is strong.

She gives Bryan the rose..and they kiss and kiss and kiss.

Eric's insecurities are coming out...he thinks Rachel is not into brothers. Anthony gives rational, sane, calming advice. I like brother Anthony:)
Mean while Lee really takes to adding shine to his boots and hair..and does some bicep curls in the gym..with his boots. Not sure if he is making gains.

Group date: Handball

The boys played handball. Will played the best. Peter played with Rachel on and off the court.
Josaih is all sugar. So sweet it seems disingenous...AND Rachel called him out on not asking any questions. Go Rachel!! I'm on Team questions too!!!!

2:1 One stays one goes
Not surprising Kenny and Lee get a group date.
The elimination dates always seems to involve the elements. They helicopter into Viking territory..where there are bog like conditions. In order of who dressed the warmest from most to least: Rachel, Kenny, Lee.  Well..reptiles are cold blooded creatures..maybe Lee didn't need layers to keep him warm..he had a hoodie like shirt that was unironed...Kenny seemed to be a bit cold..as was Rachel in her parka and gloves. Gurrrrl, you would not survive an Edmonton winter.

Kenny and Lee each have 1;1 time. Kenny gets a bit more time as Rachel needs to clarify if Kenny got violent with Lee and if he has a dark side when he drinks. This sets Kenny off...and Rachel needs time to think..and Kenny walks down the hill laughing maniacally at snake-man Kenny and says something nonsensical like "He's going to be washed under the tide or realness that is Kenny".

What is going to happen?? the previews show Kenny with a bloody eye..but his leather jacket is not on...Is Kenny going to knock some scales off Lee?

Until next week  tomorrow....I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
