How many ways can we spell “catty” Bachelor fans? Let’s start with A-l-i. Then there’s V-i-e-n-n-a. How about A-s-h-l-e-i-g-h? We even saw a little catty in our Canadian girl J-e-s-s-i-e.
While the girls were swiping their claws at each other Apple Pie was out to make some cuts on tonight’s episode. The girls were split into RVs and took a trip up the California coast — BTW what a rip off compared to the Rocky Mountaineer the boys got to take last season on The Bachelorette! Jake led the cats up the coast on his motorcycle which he drives at a *very* safe RV like speed – Jake doesn’t actually drive a motorcycle producers just thought it would make him look hot.
GIA WANTS A POT BELLY
Gia is possibly the least catty of the bunch and gets her first one on one date with Jake. The two of them have *the* most Jr. High like date playing hide and seek, spin the bottle, then Jake pitches a tent in the backyard and the two of them roast some weinies. Oh comedy. Gia confesses that she want 2 kids, an adopted “girl from China” and “a pig….a pot belly pig”. I have to admit she is adorable and the two of them seem to be on the same sweet and innocent wavelength. Go Gia.
TENLEY’S FACE PLANT
Group date time! Jake takes 6 of the girls dune bashing and sand surfing. He tackles Tenley from behind and the two of them topple down the dune laughing and rolling around in front of the other ladies…they pick up a little too much momentum and Tenley smacks her face down into the sand! Poor Tenley gets a mouthful of dune. No worries, the Disney Princess ends up a mouthful of Apple Pie apres dinner! By that I mean Jake and DP make-out on a bench. Jake is all over Tenley it is so easy to see those two have a special connex. He might as well throw all the other roses into the campfire cause Tenley is *it*. IMHO.
ROSES AND ASHES
The dreaded 2 on 1 date – Ella and Kathryn. We know for sure one is going home – but Jake ends up breaking the rules *again*. Rebel! He tells Ella he has a greater attract to some of the other ladies (gotta give him points for honesty) and the single mom is sent off without desert. Kathryn thinks she’s safe but not the case. She gives him an earful about not paying attention to her (c’mon Kathryn – it’s The Bachelor, not The Monogamist). Apple Pie isn’t feeling so sweet. He tosses her rose into the fire and sends her packing too!
Jake continued the no rose trend at the rose ceremony opting to dis both Jessie and Ashleigh. Vienna ends up gets the last rose of the night. Is it me or is this not a shock? It was only a matter of time those two were sent home anyway. Vienna is doing a good job convincing Jake she has a place – still not too sure why all he other girls have such a hate-on. Even Tenley is a hater. And she is sweet as pie.
I am thinking Gia is his best bet for love, but I can’t really see ANY of these girls as his “wife.” From the beginning of the show Jake seems to have gone for looks. Any gal that had any brains, integrity or honesty he has sent packing!
January 26th, 2010 at 11:57 amDear Jill,
There are a group of us ladies who gather every Monday to take in an episode of the bach! (god bless PVR!). As one of the Loop ladies put it “OMG, its a Bachelorette Blood Bath!” I love your take on the whole show and am finally ready to share some comments.
Kudos to Jake for not stringing along the girls he’s on the fence about, however Vienna? Really? And why Jill are you trying to giver her the benefit of the doubt….she had her chance and its time for Vienna to go.
Beside from the fact she has beyond the worst extensions Ive ever seen (hey, you were all thinking it!!), she is very immature and slightly…errr, ummm C-R-A-Z-Y (check out the deleted scene on Chris Harrison’s blog) I rest my case.
Jake is a wholesome guy and needs the same in a lady, not someone he has to remind how to act in public.
Oh and let me not forget to mention Team Canada. Jessie, I am disappointed in how you represented the Canadian Ladies, no heart! (not to mention a little lost in that hair and makeup you got going on….yikes!) Dont get me wrong, she’s adorable but I think the producers didnt giver her enough air time so we could root for her.
Last but not least, Id be interested to know if Jake had any say in the initial selection of these ladies. I can’t help but notice many of them hold nothing more that a highschool diploma and maybe a few years of beauty school. Talk about making you own bed…. All Im saying is that someone with a little bit of education or career vision might bring more to the table for Jake (maturity wise and intellectually). Good luck Jake. I think you make a mistake with Ella, but there are a few gems left in the bunch.
Ahhh, feel better
January 26th, 2010 at 12:59 pmMarda Loop ladies! Bang on about Vienna’s extensions. Poor thing needs some low lights. But we’ve all made our hair mistakes. Case and point – my bangs in 2007. Bad.
January 26th, 2010 at 3:24 pmElla can do better.
And Jessie is likely a victim of editing… the girl got very little face time! I actually know people who know her and she is apparently very sweet. Which is probably why she got little face time – it’s all about the drama right?
Does anyone miss Michelle?
Hi Jill. Happy Birthday ! I think Jake did the right thing in sending those 4 girls home last night. My advice for him now would be to clear out Vienna and Ali next week and that will leave him with 3 great choices for a wife – Tenley, Gia and Corrie. I think Jake has come a long way since Jillian made him cry on The Bachelorette. I 100% agree with you Jill that Tenley is the right One for Jake! All Jake has to do now is to ask her if she wants to Marry for LIFE and to see what she has to say ?
