The Bachelorette: Rooftops, Cowboys, Ferrari’s & Some Good Ole’ Fashioned Toe Worshipping

Well, Jillian is seemingly getting more comfortable in her role as The Bachelorette; simultaneously, she is facing more anxiety each time she lets a guy go.   I can imagine that it would be hard hurting people’s feelings in this process and she does seem like she’s a down-to-earth person and this really is affecting her. 

She did schedule some wacky dates this week.  First off she had a one-on-one date with Ed… oh, Ed!  He’s such a babe!

They went on a helicopter ride and landed on a well-known building in Los Angeles.  It was once the St. Bonaventure Hotel, but I don’t know if it still is.  Back in my college days, I photographed it due to its unique architecture.  Anyway, they landed on the rooftop pad and went immediately to the side.  Lime green ropes were suspended from the roof paraphet to the ground below.  The lines were held by these bizarre tripod looking things on the roof.  The shots down almost made me sick to my stomach.  I’m terrified of heights and the show was making me feel ill!  Poor Ed, I don’t think he really wanted to do it.  But, he “man’d up” and did it.  After a jaunt in the pool (kissy-kissy face), they had a rooftop dinner.  The cinematographers did a great job because it looked like they were just floating there on the rooftop with no protecting walls.  The shots of their dinner were so romantic!  Ed scored his rose and 3 days in the mansion with Jillian.   Yeah, Ed.  Me Likey Ed!

 Next on the agenda was a group date with 11 guys.  That’s just way too much!  11?!?  Who needs 11 all to yourself!  But, they ended up going on-set to film a “western movie.”  It was all a bit hokey, but I enjoyed watching the guys dress up.  A few complained about their outfits and roles.. like when a couple of them had to do a “Brokeback Mountain” remake scene, but they were good sports.  The best part, for me, was when Jillian and Robby had a scene.  Their kiss was wonderful… the sweeping type when the man picks the woman off the ground and twirls her around.  But, it was more than that.  When he looked in her eyes you could just see how much he liked her.  Luckily, after an evening rooftop party including some jacuzzi action, Robby got his rose.

 The final date was with Sasha.  They went to a car museum, had a photo shoot, rode about in a Ferrari, and had an intimate dinner.  Unfortunately, Sasha’s lack of experience in the love department and quest for that “magical unicorn” (i.e. that perfect one out there just for him), ended him on a bus headed for LAX.  Bummer.  I liked Sasha.  I think she did, too.  But, I fear there was a lack of spark.  Darn it!  I wanted to see more footage of his family!

The show ends with the cocktail party at elimination night.  There was way  too much drama going on in this house!  The down and dirty is:

• Jillian finally kisses Reid after he asks her why he didn’t get the rose on the group date (kind of bold, I think)
• David tells Jillian that he’s used to being the “Top Dog” and gets interrupted by Juan, his arch nemesis.
• Juan tells Jillian that she looks just as gorgeous in a “hoodie” and sweats as she does all dressed up.  (Is he gay?)
• David starts consuming more alcohol and raising his voice as he complains about Juan to the other guys.
• Tanner P. gets his one-on-one time with Jillian.  He tells the camera, ”I’m here to suck on some toes and I’m here to meet some Jillian.”  O.K.
• Kipton and Jillian find some strong physical chemistry… kissy face time.
• David tells Juan to go in the house and leave them alone to talk crap about him.  After Juan comes back out and tries to make amends, David calls Juan a “Cheese-Ass.”  Specifically, he says, “You’re 35 Years Old, stop acting like such a Cheese-Ass!” 
• The other guys agree with David that Juan is a “Cheese-Ass” and basically tell him so, but politely.
• Tanner P. continues to rant and rave about all the things that he wants to do to Jillian’s toes.
• Juan claims that David is a “bully.”

(Whew)

So, the rose ceremony comes along and these are the guys who are staying:

Wes… On A Mission to Stardom

Juan Juan Juan… what are you doing?

Michael, The Break-Dance Instructor From NY

David: The Bully

Now for the guys that were cut tonight:

You know, the thing is that I actually agree with Brad.  He said upon departure that Jillian isn’t going to end up in love with David, Wes, or Juan.  Those guys just are NOT for her.  Hopefully, she’ll see it soon enough.  I also agree with him that Mark and Tanner P. aren’t good matches for her.  The thing is with Brad is that I just don’t think there was any chemistry between them.  So, he leaves heartbroken… claiming that he’ll end up a drifter forever.   Oh, Mommy-Hugs to Brad… I’m sorry!  Heck, I’d date him!

Next week, it looks like we may be getting rid of “Top Dog David” because his ego is larger than his heart, unfortunately.   But, that’s just my presumption!  I also see either Mark, Tanner or Mike going home as well.

Stay tuned… 

Jake was voted “The Hottest” last week.  Let’s vote this week on “Who You Like The Most.”  Now, that can be based on looks only or looks plus personality!
