3 2 1 Roses!!!!

Yawwwn...I'm sooo tired..but not of the Bachelorette...and so much to report on with my energy running on low...
What an episode!! It kept me awake...no caffeine needed.

3 2 1 Dodgeball group date!

Well..I'll tip my hat to the Bachelor for trying to level the playing field...they made the guys dress up in tight shorts...reminsicent of the roller derby date that the girls had to wear super tight short shorts. The group date guys were split on two teams to play against eachother..the winning team would have a wrap up party...Brooks got an injury and had to be whisked off to the hospital for a broken finger. It kinda reminded me of the date when Tiera had hypothermia..and had to be taken away and required oxygen. Someone medical correct me...but does one require oxygen tubes for a broken finger?
Odd thing too was that Des didn't go visit him in the hospital...but no matter...Brooks took a cab and made it to the party in the short shorts...and got to kiss Des. Chris took  Des to the roof top which impressed so much that he got a rose and a private concert. Well..she likes heights so much that it takes it to the next date...

Dancing on the side of a building...
But breaking news....i mean break up news...
Some undercover brother found out that Bryan has a girlfriend and she happens to come on set to confront Brian. Stephanie is her name. Apparently Bryan said that he needed some time and told her he was going to Cali for a conference...a conference at the Bachelor mansion!!! Stephanie's voice turned all falsetto and she asked how she could do this to her and Donavon (her son)..if she really wanted to preserve her and her son's dignity...why show up on the show. Bryan didn't really deny anything, but he really didn't get a chance to talk. Chris dismisses Bryan from the show along comes Polly  - the show's bouncer - who is the equivalent of security supervising a fired employee to gather their belongings before escorting them out. And he gets to leave in a black cube van....like he's off to prison.

But one's heart (and dating) must go on..
Back up high onto a building for some dancing on the side of a building...You know..Des isn't a fantastic dancer (I noted her incorrect arm placement when dancing with Chris at their private concert)...so social dance be darned...perhaps there aren't dancing faux pas when dancing on the side of a building. Kasey is up (no pun intended) for anything as long as it is with Des. Kasey seems pretty milquetoast to me. After they both get suddenly exhausted, they are to have dinner on top of the building they were dangling from...no dinner was served..but there was a sudden wind storm...Des thought it would be best to jump into the  pool. Sounded like a chilly idea to me! Des is frozen..so they both sit in a stairwell. She hugged him..and gave him a back pat...I didn't sense any chemistry..

Giddy-up! Cowboy boot camp
Yep..the world needs more cowboys!!Yes...and these men looked pretty fine as cowboys..they were trained as stuntmen...and there was some product placement announcing the July 3rd release of the Lone Ranger.  No surprise that Juan Pablo won (juan:) the competition...a cowboy with an accent. dreamy. They has some one on one time in  barn to watch part of the Lone Ranger...and they made out..I'm not sure how much JP likes Des..but I think she's pretty smitten...and she's down with his besos. I'm guessing...Des would have taken it from boot camp to booty camp in a heartbeat. Then they all sit around a campfire.  Des seems like she picked a very unsafe sweater to wear around the campfire..the dangly long tassels seemed like they would be quick to catch fire. She does snag a few guys for some private time. Bryden has one on one time with Des..Des has to bust the moves..but she's down with that. Zak claims to be love drunk with her.

Pool party trumps cocktail party
Laid back Des..wants a pool party instead of a cocktail party. Ben sneaks out to meet her and they go for a quick drive. That annoys some of the guys. I'm convinced Mikey is going to punch Ben in the face before this episode is through. I like Mikey..but he's got a temper.
I'm not up on what hipster guys are wearing for tank tops these days...but  think I had a tank top from Zara that Ben was wearing. I'm not sure why the guys have such a hate on for Ben...after as Ben so astutely says "it's called the Bachelorette for a Reason..it's not called Let's be Friends". Ben ain't no TS Eliot. Brandon disclosed to Des that he loved her..and to the camera he says they are perfect together. Poor Brandon..he has so many abandonment issues....

Rose Ceremony
You know what shone at the Rose Ceremony- Des' dress.
Who designed that
What was that?
Where did they get it?
Why was that a good idea?
How did that get past any stylist?
I didn't like that dress...There are no right reasons to wear that dress.

Dan and Brandon got the sombre good bye. Brandon was stunned..and he had no more tears to cry.

Well....that's the crazy world of the Bachelorette.
Until next week...I love this show!!!
