Big Dates

Last night's The Bachelor was just ho-hum I thought. Is it just me or are these girls boring? Perhaps it just seems like that because we haven't really gotten to know any of them yet. And while Brad is F-I-N-E he seems rather boring because he's so sweet. That would be a good thing for me in my life (hehehe) but I don't think it's a good thing for a show like this. But let's get on with it....

The Hunkster is down to twelve ladies but will only be handing out nine roses tonight. (It sure does seem like they're getting rid of the women rather quickly this season.) He'll be living it up in two group dates and a single one-on-one date. Also, he'll be handing one lady a rose in each of the group dates and has the option of giving the lady he selects for the one-on-one date a rose as well. If he doesn't give the lady in the one-on-one date a rose, she'll have to leave the show immediately. Harsh but cool.

For the first group date, Hunky McHunkman chose Stephy, McCarten, Jenni, Lindsey, Sarah, and Deanna to accompany him. Where to? Why the circus of course! It seemed like a cute date and everybody seemed to have a good time. They all were even able to participate in the circus itself. Jenni (the girl he got the first kiss last week) and Hunkmonster were able to spend a little bit of alone time before the circus and I thought she was kinda pushing things by asking him about long distance relationships because she can't leave Phoenix where she's a dancer and - deep breath - that she wants to be the first girl he falls in love with. Hmmm. Stephy was also able to get a little alone time but it was so memorable I forgot what happened. He also spent a little bit of time with McCarten wondering if she felt the friend vibe or something more for him. Of course she said something more. Duh. And guess who was chosen to receive a rose in front of the whole audience? Stephy was. That was unexpected.

Back at the house, one lucky girl found out that she will be the one to go on the one-on-one date with The Hunkmeister. Here's a hint - she's blonde. Okay I'll tell you. It was Hillary. She is beyond excited and the other girls were, well, jealous. I don't know if they were more jealous that she got to go on an alone date with Mr. Hunky or that she wore a million dollar necklace. Probably the necklace. They had a good time in San Francisco over dinner and a desert trip to Ghirardelli Square for chocolate sundaes. She was a little too over-emotional (cry much?) I thought but he appreciated seeing that side of her. And of course he gave her a rose. He couldn't be a meanie and send her home now could he? Oh, and they sucked a little face.

The other group of group of girls received news about their group date with Hunky Brad. They're going sailing! Solisa was beyond excited. She was still so excited on the boat that she gave him a lap dance! It was quite funny when she said the only move she had was shaking her butt. Hehehe. Sheena & Hunky Dunky got in trouble with the Coast Guard while jetskiing. Then Bettina tells the camera later that she fell in love with Running Out Of Hunk Names on a wave runner. And that was before she even told him about her previous marriage and divorce! The dude was shocked and didn't expect that a woman such as herself had already been married. Um Earth calling Brad. She's 27. Not 18. In the end, he decided to give a rose to Kristy because he loved her fun side - whichever side that is.

Finally, it's time for the twist or er pre-ceremony talks. Brad's married twin brother, Chad, is there to shake the girls down while pretending to be Brad and see if any of them can tell that he's not Brad. Meanwhile, Brad is watching all of this. Weird. Some of the girls picked up on it immediately (Sheena, Kristy, and Stephy for example), some of them thought something was up but couldn't quite put their finger on it (Sarah and McCarten), and then there was Lindsey who had no clue.

Because of the three roses handed out before this rose ceremony, Hunkyman only has six roses to give out. Remember that Stephy, Hillary, and Kristy already received their roses so they're safe. He gave his roses to Sheena, McCarten, Jenni, Jade, Deanna, and Bettina.

No roses for Sarah, Solisa, and Lindsey. Their closing remarks to the camera were amusing. Sarah said the twin thing threw her off. Solisa said that she wears the special parts of herself on the outside. Oh-em-gee. And poor Lindsey thought they had a connection and walks off to cry after saying she doesn't want to cry. One of the girls (Lindsey I think?) said that McNasty & McStanky can have him. LMAO!

What did you think about the show? Any favorite parts? Any suggestions on Hunk names?
