The Rose Report:Lay it on the line

All aboard the Rocky Mountaineer!! In this week's installment of the Bachelorette, the producers confirmed Canada is cold, we need special footwear to walk over all that snow..and even though we don't live in igloos..we have dates on ice sculptures.

But how apropos...the journey to love can be rocky...and our Bachelorette got serious..and asked the tough questions.

Still feeling derailed by the departure of Ed..Jill picks Robby for a one on one. She wants someone to make her feel better.

Robby-the little Bachelor that couldn't
Things seemed to be looking up for Robby (inventor of the Rosmo), he had the first one on one date, Jill loved his energy and the fact she felt 5-10 years younger with him. Well after they spent some QT trying to flip and balance martini shakers, they settled in for a shaky dinner. (Did anyone feel slightly nauseous trying to watch them eat with the train rocking back and forth). I'm not sure if it was the meal that didn't sit well with Jill or the fact that life with Robby ain't no gravy train. See, Robby's between jobs and doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life. Whuh????? You're on the love train Robby..to true love, marriage....Well and Robby comforted us with.."love has no age and love has no job" Huh??? Not good enough to assuage our Bachelorette...and he's kicked off the train..don't let the door hit your caboose on your way out. Where did she leave the poor guy anyway?? Don't think you can get a limo out in them there parts. Hopefully someone told Robby to watch out for cougars...those cats get vicious sometimes...or so I read in the papers:)

Jill politely waved off Robby..as did the other Bachelors. As the train snaked through the mountains, Wes slithered over to Jillian to comfort her . Eww Wes annoys me.

Group Date: All abored to Emerald Lake
This gem of a date was supposed to help Jill gather some insight to help bring her closer to the prize at the end of this competition...but if anything it just set the preconceptions in stone...this date was one big yawn....so this is what happened:
-Jake: Golly Gee!! Jake snuck in a cuddle when he found Jill hiding in the snow. Jake continues to say all the right things..and darn it ..according to Jake "when I love, I love so hard".
-Tanner really wants Jill to feet I mean meet his parents..Tanner still likes Jill's feet and he got to massage them. Later he shows Jill her underwear to set himself apart.
-Wes is railroading Jill. Guess what?? He's on the show for his career!! The shock!!
-Kiptyn and Jill kiss..they have chemistry..yup we got that a few episodes ago.
-Jesse...gotta say...I'm liking Jesse more..maybe b/c Ed is gone
-Michael...he's still got it bad for Jill..he broke (not danced) but down when Robby was dismissed by Jill. I dunno if he's feeling pressure or if he's worried Jill doesn't like the 25 year olds.

Jill channelled her inner shumka by wearing her red boots on this date. Didn't Jill's grandma say she wanted to find Jill an nice Ukranian boy from Peace River??? Maybe those are her lucky date boots.


Last one on one....Reid is one letter short of being weird.
I always thought Reid was adorable..but what a weird date. First Reid wanders the rail cars to find strangers to seek advice...should he wear glasses on the date..then the conductor give Reid some rules of conduct on telling the person that she is special (actually good advice:) So Reid ditched the glasses and they snowboarded, then had a cocktail alfresco atop some ice furniture. Reid gave his insight about why people have red ears.To turn up the heat, the couple went inside for something to eat and he freaked out about the fondue. So Reid is a little freaky about food safety (understandably..E. coli and salmonella ain't no laughing matter), then he emphasized how him and Jill are different. When Jill was giving Reid the rose, he kept his reclined position and didn't seem to show much interest in getting it. I don't know about him.

Rose Ceremony: What a twist!!
The Rose Ceremony was a nail-biter. Would Wes' lyin' cheatin' two -aced double dealin' mean mistreatin' heart be revealed??? Would Jakes undying like for Jill be requited??? Would Jill's open toed sandals send Tanner P in a downward spiral?? Would Michael's earnestness be rewarded with a rose?? The drama. Jill pulled Michael in for an emergency meeting where Michael declared that he's never had a one night stand (awwww) and that he 'lights up like a lightbulb' when he talks about her. Well that sealed it...Tanner P got the boot and she sent Jake packing. Jake is shocked!! Well...the way Jake sees it that nice guys finish last.

But what's going to happen next week??
Jake comes back?? and is Ed coming back???? Is Jill finally going to see through Wes (and his band??)!!
It's going to be most dramatic rose ceremony ever!!
until next week...I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
