The Bachelor Ep. 5

Friday, February 12th, 2010

What a doozy!

The episode faithful viewers always find helpful to see more into each relationship= the home town dates. The final 4 take the Bachelor to their hometowns, each to meet her family, tour and get a day to see what it’s like where she comes from.

Gia’s mom was too intuitive. Yeah right, do you feel he loves Gia because she’s your daughter and you have a mother’s love for her and don’t live in the mansion and can’t see his relationship with the other girls? Probably so.

I approved of Jake’s time with Tenley’s family. So did her dad. He reminded me of how my dad might act when (if) I ever bring home that “special boy”.  I can’t believe we’re already to the point where Jake is asking the fathers for permission to marry them! And no doubt (coming from this old-fashioned gal) my boy will ask my Daddy for permission. Plus, her dance choreographed personally for Jake was (cheesy) and very sweet. Encore! Encore!

Vienna has been nothing but up front about her relationship with her father since the beginning of the show. Truly a “Daddy’s girl” But come on. I’d be scared if I were a guy dating her. It would take too much to compete with her dad for her attention. Plus, he’s just a wee bit too much into her love life. In an icky way.

Ali had a tough week, poor girl. Like someone else I know. Choosing between staying on the show (and possibly Jake’s love) or her job back home? Truly a tough decision for a young woman. I love to work and I know how “boys” can be. And I confess here and now I’d go home to work. Laugh or scold me if you want.

Her choice results in a no-stress rose ceremony because the remaining 3 raise a toast and a rose to their possible future with Jake.

My predictions: Vienna’s going home. Gia is mature, sexy, exotic which makes it a tough choice for Jake. Tenley is too cute, honest and makes one think “Is there anything negative about you? No!” He’s going to propose to her. But wait, Gia is a jewel. Maybe it’s her. Ahhhh!

The Bachelor Ep. 4

Bad timing…my show aired on the eve of my niece’s birthday. Priorities!

Busy on an impromptu road trip with Valerie to welcome the baby, then work, then snow, then…well better late than never.

Little Sophia, my new niece

You can read more about her below :) I’ve got a “Bachelor” evaluation for you.

The select group board an RV for the group date and goes out for an afternoon on dune buggies near the beach. Refreshing! I know some of the girls are irritated when dates involve getting “dirty” like that. I wouldn’t mind. On Gia’s one-on-one date camping with Jake (thumbs up for playing spin the bottle with the empty wine bottle!) she admitted never being able to see stars like that living in New York. Wow. I thank God I have wonderful memories of those clear nights I had growing up, gazing up into the clear night heavens! Then the other girls start howling from their nearby campsite and we lose the mood.

Later, he tells Tenley it’s the first time he’s laid his head in a girl’s lap (in his own words) A sign of his feelings for her.

It goes downhill from there! (insert evil smile on my face here) His one-on-two date is terrible for both Kathryn and Ella! He gives Ella most of his attention, Kathryn gets way too drunk and only makes herself look more stupid when she confronts him and he picks neither one to stay around any longer! Me likes. Clean house. If you know you don’t like the chair, no need to keep it around! I love that he keeps this momentum going into the rose ceremony refusing to give out the last two roses because he knows he doesn’t love those remaining girls anyway.

A fun feature on the ABC/Bachelor website is a pic caption feature. They post pics from the episodes such as this one:

and fans can make up their own caption. If I weren’t hosting the show, I’d like to snap those.

Final words: Vienna is immature. I don’t like her… but not for the same reasons the other girls in the house don’t. Ali is bold, a bit snooty and I’m not surprised she’s in advertising sales. I predict some hot tub scenes soon. Because this is “The Bachelor” and we haven’t seen much of that yet. Who else saw the huge pitcher of red wine on the sand dunes picnic?! Wow. That’s another thing you can always count on “The Bachelor” to have. Drinks. And drama. I’m thirsty for more this week.
