RUMI-nations about this episode

Well this is going to be a short report:) Due to  an important fam jam....I could not catch the early show ..so here are some RUMI-nations

The Springtime of Lovers Has Come
They are all in Richmond Virginia..Virginia is the for lovers. Really? Is that the tagline for the state?
Well..it's Springtime in Virginia. And we have the first date with  Jason.
This date is all about surprises. The first one is that travel by public transport!
They head to a church. Jason is sporting a cross. Good choice Jason..then they glaze some donuts and head to unhappy hour.
I think he surprise of this date is that there is no theme. Just a bunch of low budget stops and open alcohol in the streetcar.
Becca 'arranged' to meet his friends...which really wasn't a treat for Jason really..it was stealth recon for Becca. That was a good idea.
Jason seems balanced and lovely and he's super cute. His friends seem that way too:)

Jason gets a rose!

Group date: The Intellectual is Always Showing Off
Well this was supposed to be a debate. With some intellect and rhetoric. It really was more of a Q and A. I think Chris thought he was showing off. Instead he was showing his true colours of insecurity and aggression. It really is true that the less you say the smarter you appear..

After the less than stimulating 'debate' they have a  get together. Lincoln and Chris argue some more. We learn that Chris once weighed 300 lbs which is irrelevant. And that Chris has two huge gaping holes in his knees. Yeah okay ripped jeans are a thing....but Chris tends to take something small and blow it wide open...like his knee hole jeans.
Lincoln also complains to Becca about Chris....tsk tsk...never complain about other dudes to the Bachelorette...it only gets you a quick black car ride to the airport.

Wills says he loves her. I"m mesmerized by Wills eyes.
Colton gets the rose. I'm betting dollars to glazed donuts that she had a thing for football players in high school.


Let Go of Your Worries
LEO GETS A DATE!! Finally I get to learn more about the man with the most voluminous hair.
Becca's not feeling herself..and Leo says "we don't have to do anything". He doesn't try too hard.And they end of having a great date. They shuck some oysters..eat them raw..then kiss each other...hmm.not sure what the breath situation is there.  He managed to Becca feeling relaxed. He opened up at dinner that he doesn't feel good enough..and that was enough vulnerability to get a rose from Becca. I wasn't sure if they had a vibe...but Becca felt it and that's what matters.

Who Is At My Door?
Well...who ends up at Becca's door...you got it..Chris...he did some ruminating, put pen to paper...donned his camel jacket (which I agree with Becca..it was a. really nice coat)...but he came to her door and for what reason? I"m not sure...he said he was fighting for what he wanted. See.that's the problem dude..what you want is not the #1 consideration and Chris came off as so aggressive. He tells her he wants to marry her....she tells him she doesn't see this continuing...so she has to tell him again because he didn't hear it the first time. So she offers to walk him out...and he declines..and says he doesn't need it. And he gets a black car ride to the airport...I wonder who packed his suitcase.....hope he remembers is gaping hole in he knee jeans.

Love is Reckless 

Becca is all fired up..and she decides to go straight to rose...Lincoln and Connor go rose-less

So next week..
they are off to Bahamas..

and some final words of wisdom from Rumi:

Raise your words
Not your voice
It is rain that grows flowers,
not thunder.

~ Rumi

Until next week
