The Bachelor Recap

Another hot-tub filled evening of catty drama…gots to love it! So Vienna got the first one-on-one date with Jake on last night’s episode of The Bachelor. The rest of the girls are not fans of Vienna, to say the least. Jake and Vienna hop on his motorcycle (yah, got the Top Gun thing, enough already!) and go to a helicopter, which takes them to a bungee jump area. (I’m very confused as to where L.A.’s local bungee area is, but anyway…) Jake was such a puss. OMG. I would’ve pushed him off the ledge. But they did their tandem jump, bless them, and had a smooch while dangling. And then they went hot tubbing (natch).

The comedy club group date

Next was the group date — they went to Jon Lovitz‘s comedy place and had to do stand-up in front of a live audience (I hope they were paid), which had one girl so shaken up that she couldn’t stop crying. But she performed blonde jokes and everyone survived. Crazy Michelle wouldn’t stop droning on about how she NEEDS to get married and her mom NEEDS a grandchild. Ew. So the group date then has fondue, Michelle acts more insane, and Jake sends her home. Bitch is crazy, so that’s a good call. They’re falling like flies — do we even need to have rose ceremonies? Does Jake know that that’s sorta how it works — you give roses to those who stay and not the other people?

Then there’s another one-on-one which is the token parent date. Ella‘s son arrives and the three of them go to Sea World and she gets a rose. Then back to the mansion for a cocktail party and rose ceremony. (BTW, the girls aren’t given books or TV or anything, so they basically just drink and bicker all day — such a good formula for a reality show.) So Jake calls out the the non-kisser for being a tease (another good call) and she goes home, but don’t worry ’bout her, she has no trouble finding a date (um, so why’re you here again?). And another pretty girl packs her bags — I swear she has not been on the show until this point. But hey, Jake sends her kids lots of love so it’s ok.

Up next week: Road trip! And more Alli v. Vienna smackdown, which is really wonderful if you enjoy a good cat fight as much as the next person.

    I can’t believe this show is still plugging – what girls agree/want to go on it?! Yes, the unknown beauty needs to get back to her kids, and on with her life.

    Love the recap! That Michelle girl, aka ‘Crazy’ continued her delusional streak and I’m glad Jake saw through it… same with Elizabeth… how could she not think she was a tease? I think she came in knowing this strategy of not kissing… but then ruined it for herself. And omg Meg, I paid extra attention after your last recap and I think you are right, I think Jake does read names from the roses, it’s totally obvious now that I looked!

    PS. They really don’t have tv or books? That’s gotta be a lot of days spent bitching…

    Personally I’m really sad about Michelle leaving. I mean she was gonna keep the show interesting all the way through and now I gotta just hold thumbs theres another undercover crazy out there. OK OK, maybe I don’t need to be too worried about that…

  4. Are you serious? Hell yes you are, this should be a headline. with your permission, I will make that happen.
