I have a secret admission. I haven’t been able to get into this season of The Bachelor as much as the others. We’ve been watching Jake drown in ridiculously over the top female drama. BUT Jake earned some serious points in Episode 3 by actually standing his ground! Nice to see Apple Pie make some solid calls. That means sending the rif raf home early. By rif raf I mean Michelle.
KNOCK KNOCK. IT’S CRAZY HUSBAND HUNTER.
We know we’re in for a some seriously painful moments when Jake is sent on a group date at Jon Lovitz’ comedy club. The girls are challenged to perform in front of a live audience – *wince*. Hard to watch. First Tenley lies down and puts her feet over her head – who knew our Disney Princess knew such party tricks? Awkward, yet I still find her adorable. It went downhill from there though. Elizabeth’s “raunchy” routine was mostly edited because she was recounting some kind of rendezvous with another man. Helloooo wildly inappropriate story with expletives. Not very Apple Pie friendly. THEN Michelle the Crazy Husband Hunter makes a crack that went something like “Did anyone notice something missing from the palm trees? That’s right. It’s coconuts. Cause they’re right here wating for Jake.“ Taps the mic on her chest. *Crickets*.
What could possibly be worse than terrible stand-up comedy? Let’s ask the Crazy Husband Hunter, she’ll know. CHH proceeded to fight with the girls, tantrum and cry off by herself. Through her tears Michelle lures Jake in and asks him to kiss her: “would it be awkward if I asked you to kiss me?” um, YES!. CHH then cuts him down saying “you gotta give me somethin more than that”. Then she threatens to leave. For the second time.
The best part – Jake took her up on it! Crazy Husband Hunter is sent home, no rose ceremony necessary. Excess baggage off the flight. Score 1 for Jake.
NO MORE KISSING GAME
I liked Elizabeth from the get go – but the girl’s game blew up in her face. Last week Elizabeth told Jake she wouldn’t lock lips until she was chosen to get Jake’s final rose. Jake *actually* called Elizabeth out telling her to stop being a tease. Elizabeth didn’t give though. She continued to play the no-kissing tease card, now totally transparent and gross. I didn’t think Jake would be smart (or assertive enough) to see Elizabeth’s play much less confront her about it. BIG surprise, Jake sends coy Elizabeth home. Score more points for Pavelka.
AND FINALLY, TENLEY *ISN’T* EXPECTING
Last week it was all over entertainment news that Tenley was going to confess that she is pregnant. *Sometimes* rumors end up coming from a place of truth – not the case here. Tenley’s only confession was to tell Jake that she had been married, was betrayed and heartbroken, and is now divorced. Honesty is the best policy – Jake’s a big fan of the truth and of Tenley. She’s still a top pick! Especially after that little party trick.
NOW here’s the question which I’m sure will be answered next week – why does everyone (especially Ali) hate Vienna? I don’t get it.
Until next week Bachelor Fans!
