Well I thought the title of this week’s Rose Report was going to be DP in NZ for the FOD…OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! But no…Deanna is coming in two weeks’ time…..I’m not sure how I’m going to deal with the anticipation!! But, we did have the FOD this week..the Fantasy Overnight Dates.
To make the Bachelor’s ecological footprint even larger, we have the Jay, Jill, Moll and Mel along with Chris and the camera crew head over to New Zealand. Perhaps the Bachelor has exhausted the romantic hotspots in the good ‘ole US of A and we needed some fresh new sights and sites for this Bachelor. New Zealand was beautiful..and the FODs…highly predictable.
So the basic recipe for the FOD goes something like this…
Take one Bachelor (usually fat has been removed prior to the Bachelor filming)
Place in picturesque location
Add 1/3 rd of remaining Bachelorettes
Have Bachelor and Bachelorette run at eachother at medium speed then embrace
Insert one action packed day date activity (helicopter ride/ bungee jump/ sailboat ride)- white wine optional
Separate Bachelor/Bachelorette, have each cool slightly, allow time for each to change dressing
Place Bachelorette on hotseat, allow time for Bachelor to grill Bachelorette about her devotion to him and the journey
Bachelor presents card to Bachelorette, Bachelorette enthusiastically agrees!
Submerse Bachelor/Bachelorette in hot water (bubbles/rose petals optional)
Simmering progresses to rolling boil
Cut to commercial
Repeat with each bachelorette
Yield: Three amazing FODs
Sigh…highly formulaic episode. The backdrops were nice, but incredibly boring conversations. It came to a sad conclusion as Jay said au revoir to Jill. Not that I don’t think Jill can do better, but she did seem convinced that she really liked Jay. She looked gorgeous at the ceremony, she always would match her outfits perfectly to the scenery and the activity. Maybe that’s the interior designer in her….perhaps her career is completely aligned with her relationship pursuits. She focuses on the interior..she wanted to marry her best friend. And well Jay didn’t quite see the fit. Oh well..his loss. Chin up Jillian…you were a breath of fresh air in this process!!! And may I say, that I think you represented Canada beautifully, with style, grace and good character. Maybe your grandmother will find you that nice Ukrainian boy from Peace River after all. Umm…maybe there’s a great population of them in Vegreville though??? Now that would be a romantic date..to meet under the big pyrogy.
And to Molly and Mellissa….godspeed to you…because we know that the Pappas is back to throw the Bachelor off track.
But before then we have the WTA.
This undoubtedly will be the most dramatic Bachelor yet!!!And until next week…………. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
