This week we're in Puerto Rico....a lovely German town founded by the Kenyans in the late 1950's. They speak a beautiful dialect of french-polynesian there. I hear it's a lovely place. And after some in-show research, it appears rather affordable to travel to. Perhaps we will need to do an on site visit and check it out. Who's with me?
Ben makes several Californian mistakes this week. The poor fellow is blinded and misguided by the wine. I feel for him, he's probably kicking himself. Nicki gets the first date and it's.....a wash. The rain pouring down on them is indicative of their relationship. It's all washed up. Not going anywhere. Nice girl, nice teeth, probably has good breath being a dental hygienist. Our friend Christy Miller Blankenships is also a dental hygienist, and I know she's a good one because anytime I ask her, she is willing to smell my breath. That's when you know true dedication. Anyway, it's just not there between Nick and Ben-jammin. The only good part about their date was seeing Ben's sweet get up from the costume store. He could certainly pass for a drug lord. I'm very surprised Nicki gets a rose rather than someone like Jennifer. The connection doesn't appear to be very strong and she hasn't gotten a lot of camera time. Oh and by the way, not all of us think you have to live with someone before you can truly know them. It's like buying a digital camera - do your research, read the reviews, and you'll know which one's the right one. I don't think you need to go and buy 10 different cameras and try them all out. All I had to do was ask 2 of Kate's best friends what she was like, and that's all I needed to know, done deal. I didn't know her last name, but that was not important in 9th grade. I think Ben flipped a coin on this one. I don't think Nicki will have the chance to share a household with Ben.
Now the group date was a great time. Loved it. The field they played on reminded me of the filed we played on in a summer league out in Hawaii...old, rusting, turf field, and 0 fans in the stands. Great times that summer was. Go Mighty Menehunes. I wish I could have partaken in this date....simply to watch these ladies in action. Seeing a girl sprint...talk about entertainment! No offense to you feminists out there, but it's just not normal for females to sprint. It's unnatural. It's like a man holding a spatula or folding clothes - just doesn't work or make sense. Some of these ladies look like they had some butch haircuts back in their highschool days...they were smashing the ball. I was impressed. I think we'd all agree that Blakely should've gotten MVP. Great hustle and heart. And I'm pretty sure Ben threw Jennifer a curveball, so we'll let that strikeout slide. I bet those ladies smelled lovely after that competition too. Possibly the BEST line of the season thus far was Kacie B. to Courtney near the end of the game, "You Defense your _ _ _ off!!!" Hahahaha, talk about intensity. She turned defense into a verb it was so serious. And it looks like her pep talk worked, as the red team pulled it out for the beach party.
At the beach party, Kacie B. and Ben have another solid encounter, with her picking up the group date rose, again placing her as the front runner. I'm very surprised Jamie is still around, not sure why. Maybe laying low is the name of the game at this point? She's being good at it. ?Courtney yet again emerges as the villain, shocker. That evil uni-brow is becoming more and more mean, and more and more prevalent. It appeared to be 1/4'' further along than last week. By the championship episode, it will be unified and she will have more power than ever. It's going to be good.
Elyse has also been flying low...and it was a little surprising that he kicked her off instead of a Nicki or Jamie or Casey S. Now, poor little Elyse quit her job to join the show. Let me give all of you lovely, aspiring, potential Bachelor-girl candidates out there some advice - don't quit your job! Unless you'er a professional blogger, like Jenna was. If your job allows you to go, do it. But let's not eliminate our livelihood for love so long as our current president is in office. This blog is a taxable entity so I can push my political and religious views on you all. Deal with it. We can all tell that at dinner, Ben is looking for excuses to get rid of her. He kind of forces her into a corner and she can't find her way out. Poor girl, I liked her, from what little we knew about her. Weird that he proposed to Ashley H. but wouldn't like Elyse...he must like the circus folk!
Thennnnnnnn we have the lady of the night, Courtney, sneak in. Ben should have known, any nice young lady who's willing to unclothe in front of the camera/millions of viewers is probably not the one to bring home to mother. Let's just HOPE that he knows what he's doing and already knows he can't give her the ring, and is just keeping her around for producer purposes. FYI, when Ben took his panties off, it appeared he was wearing some rather skimpy ones as well. Quite possibly a man-thong. Wouldn't surprise me. Probably even had tassles on them. Ben has a lapse in judgment and should feel guilty...it was after hours and against the rules. No bueno. At the cocktail party, Ben's convo with Jennifer was not as great as it could've been, obviously it's easier to see now. But I never would have thought she would be gone tonight. Again, second lapse in judgment for the night. The only thing I can think of is that he eliminated her due to the strikeout. That must have been his only criteria. Bad form. Emily again can't figure it out, and I thought for sure she was gone. Ben must actually like her in order to keep her around after her annoying convos.
Summary - we're getting down to the nitty gritty, and good people have to start being canned. So at some point it has to happen, however we were blindsided tonight. I had several ladies in mind who were on the chopping block, and none went home. Jennifer and Elyse were very surprising. But again, Ben was googoo over Ashley H. so who the heck knows what he likes. I can't figure him out, especially after the banana hammock he was wearing before skinny dipping.
